JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,070,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of March 31, 2018 our last fiscal year. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.
We may lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year during which (i) our annual gross revenue exceeds $2,000,000,000 or (ii) we issue more than $2,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt in a three-year period. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company if at any time we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement.
As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such sections are provided below:
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a public company’s auditor to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of its internal controls.
Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act, implemented by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Act, require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation.

Business Overview
General
Celexus, Inc. is an acquisition, management and holding company for early stage, high growth businesses and technologies in the hemp industry. The Company has developed specific criteria and standards that must be met by each acquisition candidate. Once identified, the Company will engage its highly-seasoned and well-trained team of industry professionals to perform thorough due diligence on the potential acquisition partner. Following successful due diligence, Celexus will send in its M & A team to structure and present an attractive win win proposal to the selling entity.
Due to the recent passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, Celexus now feels very comfortable in entering the rapidly growing hemp and CBD market. It is estimated that hemp biomass has over 50,000 uses including 100% biodegradable plastic, paper, clothing, building materials, etc. Additionally, CBD oils are believed to provide many medical benefits. It has been reported that CBD oil can treat hundreds of medical issues such as anxiety, depression, pain, arthritis, insomnia, anorexia, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, several types of cancer, Alzheimer’s, dementia and epilepsy, just to name a few.
6 |
From an environmental standpoint, hemp is truly a miracle. An average grow cycle is 12-14 weeks to fully mature at 10-15 feet tall. A tree can take 20-50 years to reach full maturity. This could significantly reduce deforestation by providing the same products that trees are able to supply. Also, hemp breathes 4 times more carbon dioxide than a tree and releases 4 times more oxygen, making our air substantially cleaner. With the recent lift of Federal bans on hemp, we are expecting through continued research more and more discoveries of uses for hemp and its bi-products both medically and industrially. It is these reasons, along with the environmental impact associated with hemp, that is driving us to become a key player in such an important market.
Our objective is to become a leading supplier of both seeds and clones internationally. There is a massive demand for high grade, organic, high cannabidiol, (CBD) seeds and clones across the country and the demand is only getting bigger.
Seeds
Currently, finding quality seeds in this emerging market has proven difficult. As most seeds are patented, farmers aren’t allowed to grow their own seeds from seeds they purchased. They are required to purchase new seeds every grow cycle. This can prove to be very profitable for us.
There are 3 primary reasons to farm hemp.
1. To be refined into CBD oil and other valuable terpenes
2. To manufacture products from the hemp fiber
3. To create food products from the plant
Primarily, option 2 and 3 are handled by foreign growers such as China and can use very low-grade, inexpensive seeds. The majority of United States farmers are in it to produce high-grade CBD. These seeds typically range in price depending on CBD percentage, THC percentage, average weight produced per plant, durability to different altitudes and climates, organic certification and more.
7 |
A typical CBD hemp farm will grow between 1500 to 2500 plants per acre. This requires approximately 2500 to 3500 seeds per acre since all seeds won’t germinate. In other words a 100-acre farm would require 250,000 to 350,000 seeds per grow cycle.
Clones
Clones are clippings from a mother hemp plant that can be planted and grown into a whole new plant. There are 3 main benefits to growing clones over seeds.
1. Faster grow cycles as the plant is already several inches tall
2. Clones copy the exact genetics of the plant it was clipped from, reducing the risk of genetic issues
3. Guaranteed plants as some seeds will not sprout
The downside to clones is the higher cost per plant. Also, they will carry over any disease or infection from the plant it was cut from if the mother plant was infected. Therefore, our plants will be grown indoor and under constant supervision from our master growers to insure the highest quality possible.
Our Objective
It is the objective of Celexus, Inc. to control every aspect of the hemp farming industry from seeds to extraction and distribution. This will enable us to avoid risking stagnant or contaminated biomass because of third party extraction labs being at full capacity.
8 |
Celexus has designed its future into a 3 stage rollout:
T o reach this objective we have hand picked a team of industry professionals from experienced hemp farmers, bio-engineers, extraction experts and other related industry professionals.
Our ultimate objective is to achieve exceptional multiples in growth, valuation and revenue to Celexus and its shareholders.
The Company’s first acquisition is Bio-Distribution.
WHO IS BIO DISTRIBUTION
Bio Distribution is in motion to become a recognized leader in the cultivation and distribution of hemp seeds, clones and CBD oils. They currently own a nursery in Phoenix, Arizona and are pursuing the expansion of our greenhouse footprint throughout the southwest. The facility in Phoenix is 120,000 square feet of greenhouse on 7.9 acres. The surrounding land is set up to expand the greenhouse an additional 60,000 square feet, enabling us to increase our production capacity. This facility has been set up with agricultural lighting, drip systems, storage areas and sufficient water rights to supply our demand.
Additionally, we intend on acquiring millions of square feet of greenhouse beyond the Phoenix property to cultivate and process our seeds and clones for distribution. We have several nurseries that are currently in the due diligence phase, and if everything shows promise, will be leased or purchased.
The initial start-up costs for hemp cultivation can be staggering, specifically for the purchase of seeds and clones. One component of our business model is to provide farmers with seeds and clones who do not have the upfront capital necessary to acquire them on their own. Upon harvest, they will be required to reimburse us for the seeds and clones as well as give us first right of refusal to purchase their biomass at a highly discounted rate.
To stay in compliance with all federal and state regulations, we are strictly adhering to all license, cultivation and sales regulations. Several of our licenses are under review for approval so that we may begin the cultivation process.

Employees
As of August 1, 2018, we have one full time employees, including management. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Reports to Security Holders
You may read and copy any materials the Company files with the Commission in the Commission’s Public Reference Section, Room 1580, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Section by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS. |
RISK FACTORS
The statements contained in or incorporated into this Form 10 that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the value of our Common Stock could decline, and an investor in our securities may lose all or part of their investment.
Risks Related to our Business
Limited Operating History
We have had limited recent operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations since inception. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least for the foreseeable future. We can make no assurances that we will be able to effectuate our investment strategies or otherwise to generate sufficient revenue to continue operations.
Our estimates of capital, personnel, equipment, and facilities required for our proposed operations are based on certain other existing businesses operating under projected business conditions and plans. We believe that our estimates are reasonable, but it is not possible to determine the accuracy of such estimates at this point. In formulating our business plan, we have relied on the judgment of our officers and directors and their experience in developing businesses. We can make no assurances that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing or implement successfully the business plan we have devised. Further, even with sufficient financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to operate our business on a profitable basis. We can make no assurances that our projected business plan will be realized or that any of our assumptions will prove to be correct.
10 |
Negative Cash Flow
We expect to generate operating losses and experience negative cash flow for the immediate future and it is uncertain whether we will achieve future profitability. We expect to continue to incur operating losses until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve sufficient levels of revenue from our investments and services rendered. Our ability to commence revenue operations and achieve profitability will depend upon revenue received primarily from investments or otherwise through services that we render. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitability. Accordingly, the extent of future losses and the time required to achieve profitability, if ever, cannot be predicted at this point.
Dependence on Key Personnel
Our success will depend, in large part, on the skill, expertise, and acumen of Lisa Averbuch. There is no requirement that Ms. Averbuch allocate a specific amount of time to our Company. If Ms. Averbuch ceases to participate in our Company’s activities for any reason, our Company’s ability to select attractive investments could be impaired severely. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, train, retain, and motivate other highly qualified sales, technical, and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and we may not be able to attract, train, retain, or motivate such persons in the future.
Prior Performance of our Management Team
Our success will depend, in large part, on the skill, expertise, and acumen of Lisa Averbuch, who is our sole director. Although Ms. Averbuch has in the past operated or otherwise been affiliated with prior successful companies, we can make no assurances that they will be able to duplicate prior levels of success. Any prior performance that Messrs. Iarocci and Schnaus may have had in operating or working with other ventures was obtained under different market conditions and in different contexts. There can be no assurance that Ms. Averbuchy will be able to duplicate any prior levels of performance or success. Moreover, we have not disclosed material facts regarding the prior performance of Ms. Averbuch in this Form 10 or the market conditions relating to such performance.
Limited Liability
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws generally provide that the liability of our officers and directors will be eliminated to the fullest extent allowed under law for their acts on behalf of our Company.
Uncertain Government Regulation
Our business will be subject to extensive regulation. There has been an active debate over the appropriate extent of regulation and oversight. In addition, we may be adversely affected as a result of new or revised legislation or regulations imposed by the Commission or other United States governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that supervise the markets. We also may be adversely affected by changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules by these governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations.
Competition
A number of our existing or potential competitors may have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, larger investor bases, greater name recognition, and more established relationships with their investors, and more established sources of deal flow and investment opportunities than we do. This may enable our competitors to: develop and expand their services and develop infrastructure more quickly and achieve greater scale and cost efficiencies; adapt more quickly to new or emerging markets and opportunities, strategies, techniques, technologies, and changing investor needs; take advantage of acquisitions and other market opportunities more readily; establish operations in new markets more rapidly; devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and services; adopt more aggressive pricing policies; and provide clients with additional benefits at lower overall costs in order to gain market share. If our competitive advantages are not compelling or sustainable and we are not able to effectively compete with larger competitors, then we may not be able to increase or sustain cash flow.
11 |
Economic Conditions
Our business will be materially affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions or events in the United States and throughout the world that are outside our control, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws (including laws relating to taxation), trade barriers, commodity prices, currency exchange rates, and controls and national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts, or security operations). These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity and the value of investments, and we may not be able to or may choose not to manage our exposure to these market conditions and/or other events. In the event of a market downturn, our businesses could be adversely affected in different ways.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $2.0 billion in revenue during its last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as a company is deemed to be an emerging growth company, it may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are generally unavailable to other public companies. These provisions include:
- | a requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in an initial public offering registration statement; | |
- | an exemption to provide less than five years of selected financial data in an initial public offering registration statement; | |
- | an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting; | |
- | an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies; | |
- | an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer; and | |
- | reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. |
An emerging growth company is also exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, which requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. Similarly, as a Smaller Reporting Company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until such time as we cease being a Smaller Reporting Company.
As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 14A (a) and (b) of the Exchange Act which require stockholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.
12 |
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of:
- | the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the filing of this Form 10; | |
- | the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $2 billion or more; | |
- | the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $2 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or | |
- | as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. |
Risks Related to the Market for our Stock
The OTC and share value
Our Common Stock trads over the counter, which may deprive stockholders of the full value of their shares. Our stock is quoted via the Over-The-Counter (“OTC”). Therefore, our Common Stock is expected to have fewer market makers, lower trading volumes, and larger spreads between bid and asked prices than securities listed on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. These factors may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for our Common Stock.
Low market price
A low market price would severely limit the potential market for our Common Stock . Our Common Stock is expected to trade at a price substantially below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain Commission 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, prior to 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 prior to 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 upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker- dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock.
13 |
Lack of market and state blue sky laws
Investors may have difficulty in reselling their shares due to the lack of market or state Blue Sky laws. The holders of our shares of Common Stock and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future should be aware that there may be significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. Accordingly, even if we are successful in having the shares available for trading on the Over-The (“OTCBB”), investors should consider any secondary market for our securities to be a limited one. We intend to seek coverage and publication of information regarding our Company in an accepted publication which permits a “manual exemption.” This manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the company issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer’s balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. We may not be able to secure a listing containing all of this information. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a non issuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities. Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Service, Fitch’s Investment Service, and Best’s Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they “recognize securities manuals” but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
Accordingly, our shares of Common Stock should be considered totally illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares.
Penny stock regulations
We will be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our Common Stock. The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. We anticipate that our Common Stock will become a “penny stock”, and we will become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the “Penny Stock Rule”. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers. For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.
We do not anticipate that our Common Stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our Common Stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the Commission the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the Commission finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
Rule 144 Risks
Sales of our Common Stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock. There are 60,800,392 issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock held by affiliates that Rule 144 of the Securities Act defines as restricted securities.
These shares will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144, should we hereinafter cease being deemed a “shell company”. In general, persons holding restricted securities, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six months, may not sell more than 1.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.
14 |
No audit or compensation committee
Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, stockholders will have to rely on our entire Board of Directors, none of which are independent, to perform these functions. We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. Indeed, we do not have any audit or compensation committee. These functions are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. No members of our Board of Directors are independent directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that Board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
Security laws exposure
We are subject to compliance with securities laws, which exposes us to potential liabilities, including potential rescission rights. We may offer to sell our shares of our Common Stock to investors pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as well as those of various state securities laws. The basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and making the offering. We may not seek any legal opinion to the effect that any such offering would be exempt from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we may elect to relay upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemption, including information provided by investor themselves.
If any such offering did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have the right to rescind its purchase of the securities if it so desired. It is possible that if an investor should seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A similar situation prevails under state law in those states where the securities may be offered without registration in reliance on the partial preemption from the registration or qualification provisions of such state statutes under the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996. If investors were successful in seeking rescission, we would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, if we did not in fact qualify for the exemptions upon which we have relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the Commission and state securities agencies.
No cash dividends
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Common Stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on shares of our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares of our Common Stock when desired.
Delayed adoption of accounting standards
We have delayed the adoption of certain accounting standards through an opt-in right for emerging growth companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the Jobs Act, which allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

ITEM 2. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION. |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements of our Company and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10.
Forward Looking Statements
The following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of the management of our Company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as may, shall, could, expect, estimate, anticipate, predict, probable, possible, should, continue, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information statement have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding our anticipated financial and operating results, our liquidity, goals, and plans.
All forward-looking statements in this Form 10 are based on information available to us as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Overview
We intend to become a key supplier of high grade CBD hemp seeds and clones to international farmers entering the market. The quality, durability, performance and certification on hemp seeds and clones will determine their value. Our seeds will ultimately be bio-engineered to grow large, robust crops, durable to a wide range of weather and altitude and contain some of the highest percentages of CBD on the market. Our genetic improvement strategy includes the following objectives:
•High yield
•Minimal male contamination
•Premium market quality
•Reliable low levels of THC content
•Continually develop new improvements to our strains of hemp seeds and clones
We are committed to breeding strains of hemp that can maximize the profitability of the industrial hemp industry.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2018 we had $0 in current assets compared to $0 at March 31, 2017. Current liabilities at March 31, 2018 totaled $36,041 compared to $45,740 at March 31, 2017.
We have no revenues as of the date of this Form 10, and no substantial revenues are anticipated until we have implemented our full plan of operations.
Additionally, we will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. Our management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure our Company is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement our business plan and may impede the speed of our operations.
Results of Operations
We generated revenue of $0 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018. For the period ended March 31, 2018 our expenses were $13,492 compared to $(473) for the year ended March 31, 2017. As a result, we have reported net loss of $9,699 for the year ended March 31, 2018 and ($189,773) for the year ended March 31, 2017.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.
17 |
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. T hese estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and not our Company’s historical experience.
Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the discounted expected future net cash flows from the assets.
Loss Per Common 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.
Employees
We currently have only one employee, all of whom are officers and directors. We anticipate hiring additional employees in the next twelve months. We anticipate hiring necessary personnel based on an as needed basis only on a per contract basis to be compensated directly from revenues.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the year ended March 31, 2018, we did not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of the Commission’s Regulation S-K.

ITEM 7. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. |
Director Independence

ITEM 9. | MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. |
a. Market information.
We trade on the Over the Counter Market (“OTC Market”). To have our securities quoted on the over-the-counter venture market (“OTCQB”) we must: (1) be a company that reports its current financial information to the Commission, banking regulators, or insurance regulators; and (2) have at least one market maker who completes and files a Form 211 with FINRA. The OTC Market differs substantially from national and regional stock exchanges because it: (a) operates through communication of bids, offers, and confirmations between broker-dealers, rather than one centralized market or exchange; and (b) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more broker-dealers rather than “specialists” which operate in stock exchanges.
20 |
b. Dividends.
We have not issued any dividends, and have no plans of paying cash dividends in the future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Celexus, Inc. (Formerly Known As, Telupay International, Inc.)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Celexus, Inc. as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity/deficit, cash flows, and the related notes (collectively referred to as “financial statements”) for the periods then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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 audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #1 to the financial statements, although the Company has limited operations it has yet to attain profitability. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note #1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 1 – Organization and Going Concern
Celexus, Inc. (the Company)(formerly Telupay International, Inc.; formerly i-Level Media Group Incorporated; formerly Jackson Ventures, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 23, 2005 as Jackson Ventures Ltd. and its initial operations included the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. In March, 2007 the Company changed its name to i-Level Media Group Incorporated (“i-Level”) and changed its business to that of developing and operating a digital media network service. This business ceased operations on December 1, 2008 and its business was wound-up.
On September 24, 2013, the Company effected the acquisition of Telupay, PLC by way of a reverse merger. As a result of the Merger, the Company changed its name to Telupay International Inc., effectuated a 1.5-for-1 forward stock split and Telupay became a wholly-owned subsidiary. Telupay was engaged in the mobile banking and payment processing business primarily in the Philippines, Peru, Indonesia, Myanmar and the United Kingdom. Telupay PLC was the primary operating subsidiary of the Company accounting for most of our assets and liabilities. Telupay PLC never reached profitability and was spun out of the Company shortly after December 31, 2014 to the former directors and officers of the Company whereby the business, including the assets and liabilities of Telupay PLC were transferred for no consideration. As a result, the Company had no operations.
On January 18, 2017, Barton Hollow, LLC, a limited liability company, was appointed custodian for the Company by the District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The Company was reinstated by the Nevada Secretary of State on November 9, 2017 and on September 9, 2018 changed its name to Celexus, Inc. The Company currently is looking to acquire an operating business or develop a business.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs to allow it to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8,911,476. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Historically, the Company has relied upon internally generated funds and funds from the sale of shares of stock, issuance of promissory notes and loans from its shareholders and private investors to finance its operations and growth. Management is planning to raise necessary additional funds for working capital through loans and/or additional sales of its common stock. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Should the Company be unable to raise this amount of capital its operating plans will be limited to the amount of capital that it can access. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash
Cash includes amounts held in bank accounts. The Company has amounts deposited with financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company utilizes a three-tier hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. The Company has no assets or liabilities measured and recorded on a recurring or nonrecurring basis with Level 1 inputs.
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no assets or liabilities measured and recorded on a recurring or nonrecurring basis with Level 2 inputs.
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no assets or liabilities measured and recorded on a recurring or nonrecurring basis with Level 3 inputs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and interest payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and their liquidity. It is not practical to determine the fair value of the Company’s debentures payable due to the complex terms. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Stock Based Compensation
When applicable, the Company will account for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.
The Company accounts for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date.
F-7 |
The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant. The Company estimates forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expense for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns. The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
Loss per Share
The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period, including shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of the reporting period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the number of basic weighted-average shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. Therefore, when calculating EPS if the Company experienced a loss, there is no inclusion of dilutive securities as their inclusion in the EPS calculation is antidilutive. Furthermore, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants (they are in the money). See “NOTE 5 - Net Loss Per Share” for further discussion.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions, if any, taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively.
Business segments
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company determined it has one operating segment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change 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. As a result, a free-standing equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
F-8 |
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)”, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance is effective for our current fiscal year. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)”, which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and creates a new topic, ASC 842, Leases. The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms of more than 12 months. Presentation of leases within the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows will be generally consistent with the current lease accounting guidance. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements.
NOTE 3 – Debt – Related Party
On January 18, 2017, the Company issued a Revolving Demand Note (the “Revolving Demand Note”) to Securities Compliance Group, Ltd. (the “Creditor”) in exchange for services provided by the Creditor. Pursuant the Revolving Demand Note, the Company is liable for $25,000 at an annual interest rate of 9.5% with a default rate of 22%. The Revolving Demand Note may be converted into common stock at an exercise price of par, or $0.001 per share at the discretion of the Creditor. The Revolving Demand Note does not have a maturity date.
Since the conversion price was greater than the market price on the date of issuance, the Company did not recognize a debt discount on the Revolving Demand Note.
During the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $473 and $2,538 of interest expense related to the Revolving Demand Note.
NOTE 4 – Common Stock
At March 31, 2018, the Company had 1,500,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and 565,864,527 shares of common stock outstanding.
During the year ended March 31, 2017, on January 18, 2017, in connection with the custodianship, the Company resolved to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock to Barton Hollow, LLC to satisfy and cause to be retired, the obligations of the Company as born by Barton Hollow, LLC during 2017. Although, constructively earned and issued by January 18, 2017, the shares were not issued until one year later on January 25, 2018. As such, pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, the shares been reflected on the balance sheet and for purposes of the earnings per share calculation on an as-if issued basis as of January 18, 2017. The Company recognized stock compensation expense of $160,000 based on the closing stock price on January 18, 2017 of $0.0004 per share.

NOTE 5 - Net Loss Per Share
During the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a net loss. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not included the effects of convertible debt on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive.
Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

NOTE 6 – Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”) was enacted into law. The Act applies to corporations generally beginning with taxable years starting after December 31, 2017 and reduces the corporate tax rate from a graduated set of rates with a maximum 35% tax rate to a flat 21% tax rate. Additionally, the Act introduces other changes that impact corporations, including a net operating loss (“NOL”) deduction annual limitation, an interest expense deduction annual limitation, elimination of the alternative minimum tax, and immediate expensing of the full cost of qualified property. The Act also introduces an international tax reform that moves the U.S. toward a territorial system, in which income earned in other countries will generally not be subject to U.S. taxation. However, the accumulated foreign earnings of certain foreign corporations will be subject to a one-time transition tax, which can be elected to be paid over an eight-year tax transition period, using specified percentages, or in one lump sum. NOL and foreign tax credit (“FTC”) carryforwards can be used to offset the transition tax liability. The Company does not expect that this change will have an impact on the Company as it has not earned taxable income in the past and it has significant NOL carryforwards.
F-10 |
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at March 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operating loss carryforwards | $ | 5,790,884 | $ | 5,800,583 | ||||
Statutory tax rate | 21 | % | 21 | % | ||||
Total deferred tax assets | 1,216,086 | 1,218,122 | ||||||
Less: valuation allowance | (1,216,086 | ) | (1,218,122 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | — |
The net change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was a decrease of $2,036 and increase of $6,252 for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax asset, management has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset.
For federal income tax purposes, the Company has net U.S. operating loss carry forwards at March 31, 2018 available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, of $5,790,884. Accordingly, there is no tax expense for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
The utilization of the tax net operating loss carry forwards may be limited due to ownership changes that have occurred as a result of sales of common stock.
The effects of state income taxes were insignificant for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
A reconciliation between the amount of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax loss for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Federal Statutory Rate | $ | (2,036 | ) | $ | 39,852 | |||
Nondeductible expenses | — | (33,600 | ) | |||||
Change in allowance on deferred tax assets | (2,036 | ) | 6,252 | |||||
$ | — | $ | — |
The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2018 and 2017 that would affect its effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. Because the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to US federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carryforward is available. If and when applicable, the Company will recognize interest and penalties as part of income tax expense.

Section 7. QUORUM AND ADJOURNMENT. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for holding all meetings of stockholders, except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by the Articles of Incorporation; provided , however , that the stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. If it shall appear that such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. The Chairman of the meeting may determine that a quorum is present based upon any reasonable evidence of the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding votes, including without limitation, evidence from any record of stockholders who have signed a register indicating their presence at the meeting.
Section 8. VOTING. In all matters except the election of Directors, when a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a ma-jority of the capital stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of applicable law or of the Articles of Incorporation, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Such vote may be viva voce or by written ballot; provided , however , that the Board may, in its discretion, require a written ballot for any vote, and further provided that all elections for directors must be by written ballot upon demand made by a stockholder at any elec-tion and before the voting begins.
Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all elections of Directors of the corporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to as many votes as shall be equal to the number of such stockholder shares of capital stock entitled to vote multiplied by the number of Directors to be elected, and such stockholder, in his, her, or its sole discretion, may cast all or such votes for a single Director or may cast such votes among several Directors.
Section 9. RECORD DATE. The Board may fix, in advance, a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or any allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any other lawful actions. The record date so fixed shall be not more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the meeting nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.

Section 10. CONSENT OF ABSENTEES; WAIVER OF NOTICE. The transactions of any meeting of stockholders, however called and noticed, and wherever held, are as valid as though a meeting had been duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
Section 11. PROXIES. Every person entitled to vote shares has the right to do so either in person or by one or more persons authorized by a written proxy executed by such stockholder and filed with the Secretary. Any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or by attendance at the meeting; provided , however , that no proxy shall be valid after expiration of three (3) years from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
Section 12. JUDGES OF ELECTION. The Board may appoint a Judge or Judges of Election for any meeting of stock-holders. Such Judges shall decide upon the qualifica-tion of the voters and report the number of shares repre-sented at the meeting and entitled to vote, shall conduct the voting and accept the votes and when the voting is completed shall ascer-tain and report the number of shares voted respec-tively for and against each position upon which a vote is taken by bal-lot. The Judges need not be stockholders, and any officer of the corporation may be a Judge on any position other than a vote for or against a proposal in which such person shall have a material interest.
Section 13. STOCKHOLDER LISTS. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall pre-pare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockhold-ers, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the ad-dress of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meet-ing, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or at the place of the meeting, and the list shall also be available at the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspect-ed by any stockholder who is present.

ARTICLE III. DIRECTORS .
Section 1. POWERS.

ARTICLE VII. INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Nevada as the same exist or may hereafter be amended (but in the case of such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said laws permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and amounts expended in seeking indemnification granted to such person under applicable law, this bylaw or any agreement with the corporation) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided , however , that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnifica-tion in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was initiated or authorized by one or more members of the Board of Directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided , however , that, if the Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 78, so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. In no event shall anything herein contained be so construed as to permit the Board to authorize payment of, or the corporation to pay, any amounts for any purpose where the director or officer was engaged in any action or activity known to him or her while so engaged to be unlawful, nor any action or activity constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of his or her duties and obligations to the corporation and the stockholders. The rights set forth herein shall not be exclusive of other right to which any director or officer may be entitled as a matter of law. The corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
14 |
Section 2. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a claim under Section 1 of this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has failed to meet a standard of conduct which makes it permissible under Nevada law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met such standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has failed to meet such standard of conduct.
Section 3. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section 4. INSURANCE. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Nevada law.
Section 5. EXPENSES AS A WITNESS. To the extent that any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation is by reason of such position, or a position with another entity at the request of the corporation, a witness in any action, suit or proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.
Section 6. INDEMNITY AGREEMENTS. The corporation may enter into indemnity agreements with the persons who are members of its Board of Directors from time to time, and with such officers, employees and agents as the Board may designate, such indemnity agreements to provide in substance that the corporation will indemnify such persons to the full extent contemplated by this Article.
Section 7. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VII by the stockholders and the directors of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or other of the corporation existing at the time of the amendment, repeal or modification.
15 |
