PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

UPAY, Inc.

(Nevada Corporation)

1,376,810 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

 

This prospectus relates to 1,376,810 shares of our common stock, which may be offered by the selling security holders for their own account.  We are paying the expenses incurred in registering the shares, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the selling security holders will be borne by them. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares being sold by selling security holders.

 

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), before their sale under this prospectus. This prospectus has been prepared for the purpose of registering these shares of common stock under the Securities Act to allow for a sale by the selling stockholders to the public without restriction. Each of the selling stockholders and the prices at which the selling security holders may sell their shares will be at a fixed price of $0.25 per share until such time as the shares of our common stock are traded on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. The selling security holders have not engaged any underwriter in connection with the sale of their common stock shares. Although we intend to apply for quotation of our common stock on the OTCQB through a market maker, public trading of our common stock may never materialize. If our common stock becomes traded on the OTCQB, then the sale price to the public will vary according to prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices by the selling shareholders.

 

Glendale Securities will file a 15c2-11 application to have our common stock quoted on the OTCQB. There can be no assurance that the application will be approved or that we will develop an active trading market for our shares or will be sustained if developed.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) and are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

We do not consider ourselves a shell company or a blank check company. We and our management have no plans or intentions to be acquired by or to merge with an operating company, nor do we, our management or any of our shareholders, have plans to enter into a change of control or similar transaction or to change our management.

 

We have made no written communications as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act to prospective investors or investors.

 

The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the SEC is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus.

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 to read about factors you should consider before buying shares of our common stock.

 

Our common stock is presently not quoted on any market or exchange.

 

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On July 8, 2016, we filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement registering 2,267,810 common stock shares on behalf of our Selling Shareholders, which S-1 was declared effective on December 6, 2016 (the “December 6, 2016 S-1”). Pursuant to applicable rules under the Securities Act, an S-1 filing is effective for the greater of (a) 16 months from the date of the financials included in the S-1; or (b) 9 months from the effectiveness of the filing. Because the December 6, 2016 Form S-1 is no longer effective, we filed a Form RW on November 7, 2019. We are herein filing this S-1 to provide current information and register shares of common stock that were not sold pursuant to the prior registration statement on Form S-1.

 

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. While this summary highlights what we consider to be important information about us, you should carefully read this entire prospectus before investing in our Common Stock, especially the risks and other information we discuss under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” and our financial statements and related notes for our fiscal year end of February 28, 2018 and 2019 beginning on page F-1 as included in this prospectus. Some of the statements made in this prospectus discuss future events and developments, including our future strategy and our ability to generate revenue These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at page 21 of this Prospectus

 

Further this summary highlights material information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read this prospectus in its entirety before investing in our common stock, including the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, we use the terms “we”, “us” and “our” in this prospectus to refer to UPAY, Inc., a Nevada incorporated entity. Because we are considered a continuation of a South African entity, Rent Pay (Pty) Ltd (“Rent Pay”) and our audited financials are presented in which the prior historical information consists solely of Rent Pay’s results of operations and cash flows, references to Rent Pay where the context permits are also referred to herein as “we”, “us” or “our”. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “fiscal year” refers to our fiscal year ending February 28. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “common stock” refers to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

None of our officers or directors agreed to serve as our officer or director in connection with any plan, agreement or understanding that they, respectively, would solicit, participate in, or facilitate the sale of us (or a business combination with) to a third party looking to obtain or become a public reporting entity, and the officers and directors also confirm that they have no such present intentions or any intentions whatsoever in the foreseeable future.

 

Our management has determined that it is in our best interests to become a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and endeavor to establish a public trading market for our common stock. Our management believes that establishing a public market: (i) will increase our profile as an active company in the credit software business, giving us greater identity and recognition in the US: and (ii) will make it easier for us to attract additional equity capital, which we need to expand our business in various US states. There is no assurance that we will accomplish any of the foregoing goals and prospective investors are cautioned to carefully read the risk factors set forth herein prior to making an investment decision.

Corporate Background

 

We were formed on July 8, 2015 in the state of Nevada.   On November 4, 2015, we conducted a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Rent Pay (Pty), Ltd (“Rent Pay”), a South African company, and Rent Pay’s shareholders.   In the Share Exchange, we exchanged 200,000 shares of our common stock for all of Rent Pay’s 1,000 outstanding shares, 500 of which were in the name of Loantech Trust, a trust controlled by our officer, Wouter Fouche, and 500 shares in the name of Folscher Family Trust, a trust controlled by our other officer, Jaco Folscher. As a result of the Share Exchange, Rent Pay became our wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Apart from the Share Exchange, we have never been the subject of a material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business. Further, we have never been the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.

 

Rent Pay was registered as a South Africa closed corporation on July 21, 2008. In South Africa, a closed corporation is a business entity usually associated with smaller businesses. On February 1, 2012, Rent Pay was converted into a South Africa Limited Liability or private company, which in South Africa is the equivalent of a limited liability company in the United States and denotes a larger entity since the shareholders are not limited as with a closed corporation. 

 

Business Overview

 

We are a provider of cloud-based loan and client administration software solutions, fully integrated with payment gateways and credit bureaus as well as other decision making and risk management tools. Our business has operated in South Africa since July 2008.  We are expanding our operations to the US and opened our US head office in Dallas, Texas, from where we will run our United States operations. We have not earned any revenue in the United States yet but plan to be in operation in the United States by March 2020.

 

Our main client base and target market is the payday and installment loan industry. Our software offers a comprehensive solution to small medium and large organizations to limit risk, improve collections on installment loans and comply fully with new United States Federal and State and South Africa regulations.

 

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Rent Pay, is a software company that offers services to “small dollar loan” South Africa credit facilities, including store fronts that provide such loans (“Store Fronts”). Rent Pay owns its own financial software and provides a loan management service to its South Africa storefronts and online lenders and assists them in all loan cycle segments.

 

We intend to operate the same business as Rent Pay, but we intend to serve “small dollar loan” providers in the United States, currently permitted by 33 states. We will use the same software used by Rent Pay but designed for our future United States clients. Management intends that our United States business will initially concentrate on Texas and California and then to Illinois, Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee.

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.  We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions.  If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

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 not to opt out of the transition period pursuant to Section 107(b).

 

We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year.  In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time are we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”.  Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports.  Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

RISK FACTORS

 

The shares of our common stock being issued in the offering are highly speculative and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of our investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before in investing in our common stock.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

Our operating results may fluctuate and/or be negatively affected due to various factors

 

Our operating results are likely to fluctuate and/or be negatively affected due to:

  · Expanded or decreased credit regulations affecting our potential clients and clients;

  · Whether we are able to successfully establish our US operations; and

  · Whether our products and services receive favorable market reaction in the US.

 

Any one or a combination of the above factors could negatively affect our operations, revenues and operating results.

 

Because our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have no experience managing an Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Reporting Company that is publicly traded this could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of United States securities laws.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have no experience managing an SEC Reporting Company that is publicly traded, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Any such reporting deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the Securities & Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) reporting requirements. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a public company would be in jeopardy and you could lose your entire investment.

 

Our market is highly competitive.

 

The lending software systems industry is highly competitive. There are a number of larger companies, including computer manufacturers, computer service and software companies and lending companies that have greater operational, personnel and financial resources than we have. These companies currently offer and have the technological ability to develop software products similar to those offered by us. These companies present a significant competitive challenge to our business. Because we do not have the same financial resources as these competitors, we may have a difficult time in the future in competing with these companies. We compete based on our lending knowledge, products, service, price, system functionality and performance and technological advances. All of our United States competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do since we have not even started our United States operations. Our United States competitors will be able to:

 

  · Undertake more extensive marketing campaigns for their brands and services;

  · Devote more resources to product development

  · Adopt more aggressive pricing policies; and

  · Make more attractive offers to potential employees and third-party service providers.

 

The industry in which we operate has low barriers to entry and is highly fragmented and very competitive. We believe that the market may become even more competitive as the credit and credit software industry matures and/or consolidates. We compete primarily with product/service credit software providers that serve cash advance providers, small loan providers, credit unions, short-term consumer lenders, other financial service entities, and other retail businesses that offer consumer loans or other products and services that are similar to ours.

6
 

Should we fail to effectively compete against our competitors, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively impacted.

 

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, which could make us unable to fund our capital requirements.

 

Our business and operations may consume resources faster than we anticipate and we will require additional funds to pursue our expansion opportunities. In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of new equity securities, debt or a combination of both. Additional financing may be unavailable on favorable terms or at all. If adequate funds are unavailable on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our capital requirements. If we issue new debt securities, the debt holders would have rights senior to common stockholders to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. If we issue additional equity securities, existing stockholders may experience dilution. Our board is authorized to issue preferred stock, which could have rights and preferences senior to those of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future securities offerings reducing the market price of our common stock, diluting their interest or being subject to rights and preferences senior to their own.

 

In addition, we may file with the SEC a shelf registration statement to sell from time to time additional shares of our common stock in one or more offerings in amounts, at prices and on the terms that we will determine at the time of offering. If we raise additional funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities (whether in a public offering or private placement), the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced. In addition, the equity or debt securities that we issue may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. We currently have no established line of credit or other business borrowing facility in place.

 

It is possible that our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned. The amount of capital that we will need in the future will depend on many factors, including:

 

  · Market acceptance of our products;

  · Levels of promotion and advertising that will be required to launch and introduce our products and services in the United States;

  · Our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans and product and technology roadmaps;

  · Levels of working capital that we maintain;

  · Technological advances to our products or the failure thereof to make such advances; and

  · Our competitors’ response to our products.

 

We may incur substantial additional debt, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition by limiting our ability to obtain financing in the future and react to changes in our business.

 

We may incur substantial additional debt in the future. If we incur substantial additional debt, it could have important consequences to our business. For example, it could:

 

  · require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt obligations, which will reduce our funds available for dividends, working capital, capital expenditures, the development of new or replacement products and services, or further geographic expansion;

  · limit our operational flexibility through restrictive covenants that will likely limit our ability to explore certain business opportunities, dispose of assets, and take other actions;

  · limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business;

  · limit our ability to borrow additional funds in the future, if we need them, due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in our debt instruments;

  · make us vulnerable to interest rate increases, because a majority of our borrowings are, and will continue to be, at variable rates of interest; and

  · place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionately less debt.

7
 

In the event that key management personnel leave us, our operations and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

 

Because we are almost entirely dependent on the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer/Director, Wouter Fouche, and our Chief Operating Officer/Director, Jaco Folscher, either one of their departures could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not maintain key man life insurance on our sole officer/director. Should we lose the services of either one of our officers (or both) there is no assurance that we will be able to hire a Chief Executive Officer or a Chief Financial Officer with equal background and competence.

  

Our operations in the United States have significant challenges to establish a United States market; should we fail to do so; our results of operations will be significantly impaired.

 

We have established an office in the United States in Dallas Texas and our CEO relocated to the Texas to start implementing our planned US activities. We are currently engaged in a Proof of Concept Agreement with LEWFIN AMERICA LLC, a Texas based lender to customize our software for the United States market, but we have not formally commenced our United States operations as yet. We have significant challenges going forward, including:

 

  · Hiring personnel;

  · Establishing and activating our marketing campaign;

  · Further developing and adapting our credit software program to US and different states’ needs and regulatory standards; and

  · Establishing our operations in multiple states.

 

Our success is contingent upon our ability to efficiently execute the above steps in our business plan; should we fail to do so in any one or a combination of the above, our results of operations will be negatively impacted, and you may lose your entire investment.

 

67% of our business in South Africa is derived from only 3 customers.

 

During our Fiscal Year 2019, 3 customers accounted for 67.29 % of our revenues business in South Africa, as follows: (a) 39.22% - Finance 27, an online lender; (b) 17.28% - Credicover, an integrated service provider; (c) 10.80% - Babereki Fiance (Pty) Ltd,, a payroll lender. Should we lose any one of these South Africa customers, our revenues will be materially and adversely affected.

 

If we are unable to hire and retain key current and future personnel, the loss of their services could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our senior management and current and future programmers, system engineers, sales manager, sales representatives, and training consultants. We do not have employment agreements with our key employees that govern the length of their service. The loss of the services of our key employees would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel, particularly highly skilled engineers involved in the ongoing research and development required to develop and enhance our products. Competition for these employees remains high and employee retention is a common problem in our industry. Our inability to attract and retain the highly trained technical personnel that are essential to our product development, marketing, service and support teams may limit the rate at which we can generate revenue, develop new products or product enhancements and generally would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Economic uncertainties or downturns could materially adversely affect our business.

 

We are exposed to general economic conditions, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Recently there have been adverse conditions and uncertainty in the global economy as the result of unstable global financial and credit markets, inflation, and recession. These unfavorable economic conditions and the weakness of the credit market may continue to have, an impact on our Company’s business and our Company’s financial condition. The current global macroeconomic environment may affect our Company’s ability to access the capital markets may be severely restricted at a time when our Company wishes or needs to access such markets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our Company’s flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions or carry on our operations.

 

Current or future economic uncertainties or downturns could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Negative conditions in the general economy including conditions resulting from changes in gross domestic product growth, the continued sovereign debt crisis, financial and credit market fluctuations, political deadlock, natural catastrophes, warfare and terrorist attacks could cause a decrease in business investments.

 

General worldwide economic conditions have experienced a significant downturn and continue to remain unstable. These conditions make it extremely difficult for us to forecast and plan future business activities accurately, and they could cause our potential customers to reevaluate their decisions to purchase our services. Also, customers may choose to develop in-house services as an alternative to using our services.

 

We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown, instability or recovery, generally or within any industry. If the economic conditions of the general economy or industries in which we operate do not improve, or worsen from present levels, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.

  

The concentration of our revenues in certain States could adversely affect us.

 

While we will attempt to have a diverse geographic presence, we will initially target only Texas and thereafter, rollout state by state including but not limited to the following states; California, Nevada, Florida, Illinois, Missouri Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, Utah, Kentucky. Our revenues derived from those states will be positively or negatively impacted from prevailing regulatory, economic, demographic, competitive, and other conditions in those states. Changes to any of these conditions in the markets in which we operate could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and services, a decline in our revenues, or an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts that could result in a deterioration of our financial condition.

 

Our customers’ inability to effectively, efficiently, and profitably introduce or manage new products or alternative methods for conducting business could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Our customers might need to offer new or modified products and services. For our customers to offer these products, such products need to be developed on our software system and need to comply with additional credit related regulatory and licensing requirements. Each modification, new product or service, and alternative method of conducting business is subject to risk and uncertainty for our customers and requires significant investment in time and capital, including additional marketing expenses, legal costs, and other incremental start-up costs. Additionally, we will be required to update our customers’ regulatory requirements, which may lead to additional operating costs and additional charges to our customers. Should we fail to adequately modify or test adequately our system, collection procedures, customer contracts, monitoring, and other operations for our customer’ benefit prior to offering a new product, our brand name reputation and results of operations may be negatively affected. Additionally, any failure of our customers to offer new products or services resulting from regulatory changes could result in fines, suspensions, or legal actions against them and could have a material adverse effect on our customers’ business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition and in turn negatively affect us.

We currently lack product and business diversification; as a result, our revenues and earnings may be disproportionately negatively impacted by external factors and may be more susceptible to fluctuations than more diversified companies.

 

Our primary business activity is offering software for cash advance and loan installment services. If we are unable to maintain our credit software and/or diversify our operations, our revenues and earnings could decline. Our current lack of product and business diversification could inhibit our opportunities for growth, reduce our revenues and profits, and make us more susceptible to earnings fluctuations than many of our competitors who are more diversified. External factors, such as changes in laws and regulations, new entrants, and enhanced competition, could also make it more difficult for us to operate as profitably as a more diversified company could operate. Any internal or external change in our industry could result in a decline in our revenues and earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

The credit industry is highly regulated under federal law, state and local laws; our customers’ failure to comply with these regulations and statutes could have a material adverse effect on our customers’ business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition, which in turn may negatively affect our results of operations.

 

Our customers’ businesses are subject to stringent US federal and US state regulation and the National Credit Act in South Africa. Our customers must comply with the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z adopted under that Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, which subjects them to supervision by the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), the Bank Secrecy Act, the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, the Money Laundering Suppression Act of 1994, and the PATRIOT Act. In addition, our customers’ marketing efforts and statements that our customers make about their products and services are subject to federal and state unfair and deceptive practices statutes, most significantly, the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces the Federal Trade Commission Act (See Government Regulations Section at page 32).

 

Our customers’ businesses are regulated under a variety of enabling state statutes, including cash advance, deferred presentment, check cashing, money transmission and small loan laws, all of which are subject to change and which may impose significant costs, limitations or prohibitions on the way our customers conduct or expand their business. In some states, referenda initiatives have been proposed that allow voters to limit or prohibit our customers’ ability to conduct our business in a profitable manner.  Legislation has been introduced or adopted in some states that prohibits or severely restricts certain credit products and services. Laws prohibiting cash advances and similar products and services could be passed in any other state at any time or existing enabling laws could expire or be amended. Statutes authorizing cash advance and similar products and services typically provide the state agencies that regulate banks and financial institutions with significant regulatory powers to administer and enforce the law. In most states, our customers are required to apply for a license, file periodic written reports regarding business operations, and undergo comprehensive state examinations to ensure that we comply with applicable laws.

 

To conduct our business, we are required to manage, use, and store large amounts of personally identifiable information, consisting primarily of confidential personal and financial data regarding clients our customers. As a result, we are subject to numerous U.S. laws and regulations designed to protect this information, including various U.S. federal and state laws governing the protection of financial or other individually identifiable information. Security breaches involving our files and infrastructure could lead to unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, as well as shutdowns or disruptions of our systems.

 

Our customers’ business may be subject to various local rules and regulations such as local zoning regulations. Any actions taken in the future by local zoning boards or other local governing bodies to require special use permits for, or impose other restrictions on providers of cash advance and/or other credit services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition and in turn negatively affect our results of operations and revenues.

10
 

Current and future litigation, regulatory proceedings, and other legal proceedings against our customers’ officers and directors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Our customers’ businesses are subject to lawsuits, regulatory proceedings, and other legal proceedings, including government investigations, that generate adverse publicity, cause our customers to incur substantial expenditures, and could significantly impair our customers’ business and/or force them to cease doing business in one or more states. Accordingly, our customers may incur significant expenditures in connection with matters involving our customers’ current or former officers and directors. Any of these lawsuits, regulatory proceedings, or other legal matters could have a material adverse effect on our customers’ business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition and as a result negatively affect our business

 

Media reports and public perception of cash advances and similar loans as being predatory or abusive could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Consumer advocacy groups, certain media reports, and many regulators and elected officials advocate for governmental and regulatory action to prohibit or severely restrict our customers’ products and services. The consumer groups and media reports typically focus on the cost to a consumer and characterize our customers’ products and services as predatory or abusive toward consumers. If this negative characterization of advances becomes widely accepted by consumers, demand for our customers’ products and services could significantly decrease, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Negative perception of our customers’ products and services could also result in increased regulatory scrutiny and litigation, encourage restrictive local zoning rules, make it more difficult to obtain government approvals necessary to open new centers and cause industry trade group to promote policies that cause our customers’ businesses to be less profitable. In addition, media coverage and public statements that assert some form of corporate wrongdoing can lower morale, make it more difficult for our customers to attract and retain qualified personnel and directors, divert management attention, and increase expenses. These trends could materially adversely affect our customers’ business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition and in turn similarly affect our business.

 

The fluctuation of the Rand may materially and adversely affect your investment.

 

The value of the South African Rand against the United State dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, South African government policy as well as economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of the Rand may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert South African Rand we receive from operations to United States dollars, appreciation of the South African Rand against the United State dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that future movements in the exchange rate of South African Rand and other currencies will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

We depend on product development in order to remain competitive in our industry.

 

Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to enhance our current product line and to continue to develop and introduce new products that keep pace with competitive product introductions and technological developments, satisfy diverse and evolving lending industry requirements and otherwise achieve market acceptance. We may not be successful in continuing to develop and market, on a timely and cost-effective basis, product enhancements or new products that respond to technological advances by others Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to changes in technology and lending industry preferences, or any significant delays in product development or introduction, would significantly and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Our products may not achieve market acceptance, which may make it difficult for us to compete.

 

Our future success will depend upon our ability to increase the number of lending companies that use our software products. As a result of the intense competition in our industry and the rapid technological changes, which characterize it, our products may not achieve significant market acceptance. Further, lending companies are typically characterized by slow decision-making and numerous bureaucratic and institutional obstacles, which will make our efforts to significantly expand our customer base difficult.

11
 

We depend upon proprietary technology and we are subject to the risk of third-party claims of infringement.

 

Our success and ability to compete depends in part upon our proprietary software technology. We currently have no patents or patent applications pending. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The steps we take to protect our proprietary technology may not prevent misappropriation of our technology, and this protection may not stop competitors from developing products which function or have features similar to our products.

 

While we believe that our products and trademarks do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, third parties may claim that our products infringe, or may infringe, upon their proprietary rights. Any infringement claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, cause product shipment delays or require us to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. If a claim of product infringement against us is successful and we fail or are unable to develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology, our business, operating results and financial condition could be significantly and adversely affected.

 

A decline in computer software spending may result in a decrease in our revenues or lower our growth rate.

 

A decline in the demand for computer software among our current and prospective customers may result in decreased revenues or a lower growth rate for us because our sales depend, in part, on our customers’ level of funding for new or additional computer software systems and services. Moreover, demand for our solutions may be reduced by a decline in overall demand for computer software and services. The current decline in overall technology spending may cause our customers to reduce or eliminate software and services spending and cause price erosion for our solutions, which would substantially affect our sales of new software licenses and the average sales price for these licenses. Because of these market and economic conditions, we believe there will continue to be uncertainty in the level of demand for our products and services. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to increase or maintain our revenues.

 

Our technology may become obsolete which could materially adversely affect our ability to sell our products and services.

 

If our technology, products and services become obsolete, our business operations would be materially adversely affected. The market in which we compete is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, introductions of new products, and changes in customer demands that can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our current products will require continuous upgrading, or our technology will become obsolete. Our future success will depend upon our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers by supporting existing and emerging hardware, software, database, and networking platforms and by developing and introducing enhancements to our existing products and new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments, evolving industry standards, and changing customer requirements.

 

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and could fall below analyst or investor expectations, which could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

 

If our operating results do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price may decline. Fluctuations in our operating results may be due to a number of factors, including the following:

 

  · The gain or loss of customers;

  · The size and timing of orders;

  · The size and timing of product returns;

  · Our ability to maintain or increase gross margins;

  · Our ability to anticipate market needs and to identify, develop, complete, introduce, market and produce new products and technologies in a timely manner to address those needs

  · availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and the resulting effect on sales and pricing of our products;

  · Effect of new and emerging technologies

  · General economic conditions.

12
 

Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.

 

Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. In the past, we have discovered software defects in certain of our products and have experienced delayed or lost revenues during the period it took to correct these problems. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur in our new or existing products after we have commenced commercial shipment of those products. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss of revenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position, or claims against us by customers. Any such problems could be costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers and could negatively affect our results of operations.

  

Security and privacy breaches may harm our business.

 

The uninterrupted operation of our hosted solutions and the confidentiality and security of third-party information is critical to our business. Any failures in our security and privacy measures, such as “hacking” of our systems by outsiders, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. If we are unable to protect, or our customers perceive that we are unable to protect, the security and privacy of our electronic information, our growth could be materially adversely affected. A security or privacy breach may cause our customers to lose confidence in our solutions, adversely harm our brand name reputation, expose us to liability and increase our expenses from potential remediation costs. Additionally, any damage to, or failure of, our systems generally could result in interruptions in our service. Interruptions in our service may reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, cause customers to terminate their on-demand services, and adversely affect our renewal rates and our ability to attract new customers.

 

While we believe we use proven applications designed for data security and integrity to process electronic transactions, there can be no assurance that our use of these applications will be sufficient to address changing market conditions or the security and privacy concerns of existing and potential customers. In addition, our customers and end users may use our products and services in a manner, which violates security or data privacy laws in one or more jurisdictions. Any significant or high-profile data privacy breaches or violations of data privacy laws, whether directly through our hosted solutions or by third parties using our products and services, could result in the loss of business and reputation, litigation against us and regulatory investigations and penalties that could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR STATUS AS AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY

 

Reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002, including establishing and maintaining acceptable internal controls over financial reporting, are costly and may increase substantially.

 

The rules and regulations of the SEC require a public company to prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, which will require that the Company engage legal, accounting, auditing and other professional services. The engagement of such services is costly. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires, among other things, that we design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the limited technically qualified personnel we have may make it difficult for us to design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event that we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our overall financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, compliance with these rules and regulations will nonetheless increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.

13
 

We are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. However, we anticipate that the expenses that will be required to adequately prepare for being a public company could be material. We estimate that the aggregate cost of increased legal services; accounting and audit functions; personnel, such as a chief financial officer familiar with the obligations of public company reporting; consultants to design and implement internal controls; and financial printing alone could be several hundred thousand dollars per year. In addition, when we retain independent directors and/or add senior management, we may incur additional expenses related to director compensation and/or premiums for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the costs of which we cannot estimate at this time. We may also incur additional expenses associated with investor relations and similar functions, the cost of which we also cannot estimate at this time. However, these additional expenses individually, or in the aggregate, may also be material.

 

In addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or costlier for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board, our Board committees or as executive officers.

 

The increased costs associated with operating as a public company may decrease our net income or increase our net loss and may cause us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services to offset the effect of such increased costs. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we expect and fully intend to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also 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 opt into the extended transition period for complying with the revised accounting standards. We have elected to rely on these exemptions and reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” and expect to continue to do so.

14
 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated June 14, 2019 in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of February 28, 2019, which included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely that holders of our common stock will lose all of their investment. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting does not currently meet the standards required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

 

We previously have not been required to maintain internal control over financial reporting in a manner that meets the standards of publicly traded companies required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404(a)”). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. We are not currently in compliance with, and we cannot be certain when we will be able to implement the requirements of Section 404(a). We may encounter problems or delays in implementing any changes necessary to make a favorable assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on our internal controls, investors could lose confidence in our financial information and the price of our common stock could decline.

 

Additionally, the existence of any material weakness or significant deficiency would require management to devote significant time and incur significant expense to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and management may not be able to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner. The existence of any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could also result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate our financial statements causing us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause stockholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect us.

 

We will not be required to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over procedures for financial reporting nor will we be required to disclose the results of such evaluation, until the filing of our second annual report. The lack of such evaluations may lead to an extended period of inadequate internal controls which could jeopardize the accuracy of our financial reporting, the result of which would be that investors would not be aware of any inaccurate reporting of our financial affairs.

 

Our election not to opt out of JOBS Act extended accounting transition period may not make our financial statements easily comparable to other companies.

 

Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012, as an emerging growth company we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the PCAOB or the SEC. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the application date for private companies. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. As of present, there are no new or revised accounting standards that have been issued by the PCAOB or the SEC applicable to us for which we have adopted the application date for private companies.

15
 

The JOBS Act will also allow us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC. The recently enacted JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on emerging growth companies. The Registrant meets the definition of an emerging growth company and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:

 

  · be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting;

 

  · be exempt from the “say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the “say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Act and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of its chief executive officer;

 

  · be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and

 

  · be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Registrant Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements.

 

We intend to take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. We have elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, we may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers that would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Registrant. As a result, investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

 

As a result, investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

 

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, increased costs, and are subject to additional regulations and requirements as a result of being a public company, which could lower our profits or make it more difficult to run our business.

 

As a public company, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We have also incurred and will continue to incur costs associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and related rules implemented by the SEC. The expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. These rules and regulations have increased, and will increase, our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. These laws and regulations also could make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as our executive officers. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

 

If our shares are quoted on the OTCQB, we will be required to remain current in our filings with the SEC and meet other obligations, the failure of which could result in removal from the OTCQB quotation service.

 

There is no guarantee that our common stock will ever be quoted on the OTCQB. However, in the event that our shares are quoted on the OTCQB, we will be required to remain current in our filings with the SEC and, for eligibility on the OTCQB, we must maintain a stock price above $0.01 per share and pay annual dues. In the event that we become delinquent in these requirements, we may be relegated to an inferior quotation service or quotation of our common stock could be terminated. If our shares are not eligible for quotation on the OTCQB, investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

 

An investment in our shares is highly speculative.

 

The shares of our common stock are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors contained herein relating to our business and prospects. If any of the risks presented herein actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in the future.

 

If our application to trade our Common Stock on the OTCQB is approved, we expect that the market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate in response to one or more of the following factors, many of which are beyond our control:

 

  · competitive pricing pressures;

 

  · our ability to market our services on a cost-effective and timely basis;

 

  · changing conditions in the market;

 

  · changes in market valuations of similar companies;

 

  · stock market price and volume fluctuations generally;

 

  · regulatory developments;

 

  · fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;

 

  · additions or departures of key personnel; and

 

  · future sales of our Common Stock or other securities.

 

The price at which you purchase shares of our Common Stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Shareholders may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our securities. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our securities and may prevent a shareholder from obtaining a market price equal to the purchase price such shareholder paid when the shareholder attempts to sell our securities in the open market. In these situations, the shareholder may be required either to sell our securities at a market price, which is lower than the purchase price the shareholder paid, or to hold our securities for a longer period of time than planned. An inactive or low trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock. You may be unable to sell your shares of Common Stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you and which may include the complete loss of your investment. Any of the risks described above could adversely affect our sales, profitability and the price of our Common Stock.

17
 

Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares of our common stock in this offering.

 

We do not currently anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our stockholders in the foreseeable future. It is our current intention to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our working capital. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should, therefore, not purchase our common stock. We currently have no material revenues and a history of losses, so there can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of shares of our common stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, which currently does not intend to pay any dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

FINRA has adopted rules that require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to 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. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy shares of our common stock.

 

Because we do not have a nominating, audit or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on the entire board of directors, no members of which are independent, to perform these functions.

 

We do not have a nominating, audit or compensation committee or any such committee comprised of independent directors. The board of directors performs these functions. No members of the 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.

 

We have authorized the issuance of preferred stock that our Board of Directors may provide for certain preferences.

 

Our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. The board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, and voting rights of any series of preferred stock, and these rights may be superior to the rights of holders of the Shares. The board of directors may also establish redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any shares of preferred stock. Any such preferences may operate to the detriment of the rights of the holders of the Shares, and further, could be used by the board of directors as a device to prevent a change in our control. No such preferred shares or preferences have been issued to date, but such shares or preferences may be issued at a later time, subject to the sole discretion of the board of directors.

 

There is no public trading market for our common stock and an active market may never develop.

 

There is no established public trading marketing for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that one will ever develop. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they to sell securities held by them. Consequently, only investors having no need for liquidity in their investment should purchase our securities and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer own a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities, which could reduce the ability of minority shareholders to effect, certain corporate actions.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer collectively own 78.9 % of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, currently, and after the offering, he will possess a significant influence and can elect a majority of our board of directors and authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. Their ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer.

18
 

The offering price of the common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering and should not be used as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

 

Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.25 per share for the shares of common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

 

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade or provide negative outlook on our stock or our sector, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock relies in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about our business or us. We do not control these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade or provide negative outlook on our stock or our industry, or the stock of any of our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our business or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

The market for penny stock has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse

 

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be able to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

 

Our shares may not become eligible to be traded electronically, which would result in brokerage firms being unwilling to trade them.

 

If we become able to have our shares of common stock listed on the, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today, means that shares of a company will not likely be traded.

 

Future sales and issuances of our capital stock or rights to purchase capital stock could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

 

We may issue additional securities following the completion of this offering. Future sales and issuances of our capital stock or rights to purchase our capital stock could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. We may sell common stock, convertible securities and other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as we may determine from time to time. If we sell any such securities in subsequent transactions, investors may be materially diluted. New investors in such subsequent transactions could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock.

 

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as regulatory and governing bodies provide new guidance. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be adversely affected.

19
 

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

 

As a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.

 

The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter market, which is commonly referred to as the OTCQB as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.

 

Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions that are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.

 

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:

 

  - the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and

 

  - that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, 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.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, probably, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, likely find it difficult to sell their securities.

20
 

Any trading market that may develop may be restricted by virtue of state securities “Blue Sky” laws that prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states.

 

There is currently no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any established public market would develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue-sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares 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 blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in at least 17 states which do not offer manual exemptions (or may offer manual exemptions but may not to offer one to us if we are considered to be a shell company at the time of application) and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

 

SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus report may prove incorrect.

 

This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements, including among others: (i) anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; (ii) our business strategy for expanding our business through regional centers; and (iii) our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition to the other risks described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include: (i) changes to external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) anticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the credit industry; and (iv) various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace. In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, there can be no assurance that the events predicted in forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will, in fact, transpire.

 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this prospectus, including in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, includes some statements that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding us and our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, results of operations, and the expected impact of the offering on our financial performance. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

21
 

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the selling security holders. All the net proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock will go to the selling security holders as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Security Holders” and “Plan of Distribution.” We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the Common Stock for the selling security holders.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Since our Common Stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of Common Stock was determined by the price of the Common Stock that was sold to our security holders pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

The prices at which the shares or common stock covered by this prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of common stock, by negotiations between the selling security holders and buyers of our common stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan of Distribution.”

 

The offering price of the shares of our common stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to market value, our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value.

 

Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, Glendale Securities, intends to file a 15c2-11 application with OTC Markets to obtain a quotation on the OTCQB. There is no assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.

 

In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at any certain market price, as prices for the common stock in any public market, which may develop, will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

 

In addition, there is no assurance that our Common Stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial offering price as prices for the Common Stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

 

DILUTION

 

The Common Stock to be sold by the selling stockholders as provided in the “Selling Security Holders” section is currently issued Common Stock. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing stockholders. 

 

EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION

 

We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the shares of common stock offered hereby. These expenses are estimated to be $4,544.68, including, but not limited to, legal and accounting.

22
 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared dividends or paid cash dividends on our common stock and our board of directors does not intend to distribute dividends in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

 

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

 

The selling security holders named in this prospectus are offering 1,376,810 common stock shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares being sold by selling security holders.

 

The following table sets forth the names of the selling security holders and the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the selling security holders as of November 5, 2019. All of the selling security holders acquired their shares through a cash purchase of shares in a private placement and no selling security holders acquired the shares for services.   

 

The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling security holders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling security holders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling security holders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. The selling security holders have furnished all information with respect to share ownership.

  - are broker-dealers or affiliated with broker-dealers.

 

(3)We have assumed that the selling stockholder will sell all of the shares being offered in this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Shares Offered by the Selling Stockholders

 

Collectively, the selling security holders may sell some or all of their common stock shares up to 1,376,810 shares at a fixed price of $0.25 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCQB and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.

 

Prior to being quoted on the OTCQB, shareholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. We will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTCQB. In order to be quoted on the OTCQB a market maker must file an application and other necessary documents with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. We have engaged Glendale Securities as our market maker to file such application. There cannot be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by selling security holder must be made at the fixed price of $0.25 until a market develops for the stock.

 

Once a market has developed for our common stock, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders, who may be deemed to be underwriters, directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:

 

  - ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales,

 

  - transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading, market where our common stock is trading,

 

  - through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents,

 

  -

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed of otherwise), or exchange listed or otherwise), or

     
  - combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

25
 

The selling stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus. None of the selling security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder and will inform it of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act of 1933). The selling security holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus. 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Authorized Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share. Currently, we have 23,255,310 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Each share of Common Stock shall have one (1) vote per share for all purposes. Our Common Stock does not provide preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our Common Stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting for election of Board members.

26
 

Each share of our Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote in the election of each director and on all other matters voted on generally by our stockholders. Holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to dividends in such amounts and at such times as our Board of Directors in its discretion may declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. We currently intend to retain our entire available discretionary cash flow to finance the growth, development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

 

There is presently no public market for our shares of Common Stock. We anticipate applying for quoting of our Common Stock on the OTCQB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms apart. We can provide no assurance that our shares of Common Stock will be quoted on the OTCQB or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.

 

Authorized Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 preferred shares, no shares of which are outstanding and no rights and preferences of which have been established.

 

Dividend Rights

 

We have not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not anticipate paying dividends, and if we are not successful in establishing an orderly public trading market for our shares, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

 

Warrants and Options

 

We have no warrants outstanding.

 

We have no options outstanding.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

Our transfer agent is Colonial Stock Transfer, 66 Exchange Place, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, registered with the SEC as a transfer agent.

 

Penny Stock Considerations

 

Our shares will be “penny stocks”, as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

 

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.

27
 

In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:

 

  - Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

  - Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

  - Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

  - Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, likely find it difficult to sell their securities.

 

OTCQB Qualification for Quotation

 

To have our shares of common stock on the OTCQB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf to make a market for our common stock. We have engaged Glendale Securities to file our application on Form 211 with FINRA, but as of the date of this Prospectus, no filing has been made.

 

Sales of Our Common Stock Under Rule 144

 

We presently have 26,030,310 common shares outstanding. Of these shares 6,915,310 common shares are held by non-affiliates and 19,115,000 common shares are held by affiliates, which Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 defines as restricted securities.

 

We are registering 1,376,810 shares held by non-affiliates in this offering. We are not registering shares held by affiliates in this offering. The remaining unregistered non-affiliate shares as well as all of the affiliates’ shares will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144. In general, persons holding restricted securities, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six (6) months, may not sell more than one percent (1%) of the total issued and outstanding shares in any ninety (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.

Competition

 

In our estimation, our primary competitors in the United States are:

 

· Infinity Enterprise Lending Systems based in Invise, Nevada; and

· Epic Loan Systems based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

 

Our primary competitors in South Africa are 

 

· Compuscan; and

· Delter.

 

Each of the above competitors sell credit related software that is sold to payday and other lenders.

 

Competitive Advantages

 

  o We are a Cloud based system and there is no need for physical installation;

 

  o For the past 7 years we have designed a software system that incorporates regulatory guidelines, affordability guidelines on an ongoing basis in South Africa, which we can adapt to a  United States software credit system;

 

  o South Africa has a non-paying culture as evidenced by market data.

 

Competitive Disadvantages

 

  o Our competitors in the United States  and South Africa, including those mentioned above, have greater operational, financial and personnel resources than we do;
     

  o Apart from the POC, we have not yet commenced our operations in the United States;
     

  o We will have substantial development of our business and software program to adopt to the various states; and
     

  o We have not tested our marketing or our product in the United States.

 

Government Regulation

 

Our customers’ products and services are subject to extensive United States local, state and federal regulation and South African regulations. The regulation of the loan products and services industry is intended primarily for the protection of consumers and is constantly in flux as new regulations are introduced and existing regulations are repealed, amended, and modified.

34
 

US Regulation

 

Federal

 

Lending Laws. 

 

Our customers’ businesses are subject to the federal Truth in Lending Act and its underlying regulations, known as Regulation Z, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. These laws require a company to provide certain disclosures to prospective borrowers and protect against unfair credit practices. The principal disclosures required under the Truth in Lending Act are intended to promote the informed use of consumer credit. Under the Truth in Lending Act, when acting as a lender, a company is required to disclose certain material terms related to a credit transaction, including, but not limited to, the annual percentage rate, finance charge, amount financed, total of payments, the number and amount of payments and payment due dates to repay the indebtedness. The Fair Credit Reporting Act regulates the collection, dissemination and use of consumer information, including consumer credit information. The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits a company from discriminating against any credit applicant based on any protected category, such as race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age, and requires a company to notify credit applicants of any action taken on the individual’s credit application.

 

Consumer Reports and Information. 

 

The use of consumer reports and other personal data used in credit underwriting is governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and similar state laws governing the use of consumer credit information. The Fair Credit Reporting Act establishes requirements that apply to the use of “consumer reports” and similar data, including certain notifications to consumers where their loan application has been denied because of information contained in their consumer report. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires a company to promptly update any credit information reported to a credit reporting agency about a consumer and to allow a process by which consumers may inquire about credit information furnished by a company to a consumer reporting agency.

 

Information-Sharing Laws. 

 

Our customers are also subject to the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, which limits the sharing of information with affiliates for marketing purposes and requires the Company to adopt written guidance and procedures for detecting, preventing and responding appropriately to mitigate identity theft and to adopt various policies and procedures and provide training and materials that address the importance of protecting non-public personal information and aid a company in detecting and responding to suspicious activity, including suspicious activity that may suggest a possible identity theft red flag, as appropriate.

 

Marketing Laws. 

 

Our customers’ advertising and marketing activities are subject to several federal laws and regulations including the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices and false or misleading advertisements in all aspects of a company’s business. In furtherance of consumer protection, the Federal Trade Commission provides guidance and enforces federal laws concerning truthful advertising and marketing practices; fair financial practices in lending, loan servicing and debt collection; and protection of sensitive consumer information. As a financial services company, any advertisements related to a company’s products must also comply with the advertising requirements set forth in the Truth in Lending Act. Also, any of a company’s telephone marketing activities must comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Telephone Sales Rule. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act prohibits the use of automatic telephone dialing systems for communications with wireless phone numbers without the express consent of the consumer, and the Telephone Sales Rule established the Do Not Call Registry and sets forth standards of conduct for all telemarketing. A company’s advertising and marketing activities are also subject to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 which establishes certain requirements for commercial email messages and specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to the source of content.

 

Military Lending Laws

 

In July 2015, the Department of Defense published a finalized set of new rules under the Military Lending Act. The Military Lending Act (and rules previously adopted thereunder) restricts credit companies from offering its short-term unsecured credit products to members of the military or their dependents because none of the Company’s short-term unsecured credit products carry a military annual percentage rate of 36% or less. The new rule expands the scope of the credit products covered by the Military Lending Act to include certain non-purchase money loans secured by personal property or vehicles and certain unsecured installment loan products to the extent any of such products have a military annual percentage rate greater than 36. The rules under the Military Lending Act contain various disclosure requirements, limitations on renewals and refinancing and other restrictions, including restrictions on the use of prepayment penalties, arbitration provisions and certain waivers of rights. The rule provides that a lender is subject to fines and other penalties if it extends credit to a member of the military or a military dependent on terms prohibited by the rule. The new rule does provide a safe harbor for a lender if it verifies a potential borrower’s military status before extending credit by checking the Department of Defense’s database or a database of a national credit-reporting agency that provides military status information. In addition, Federal law also limits the annual percentage rate on existing loans when the consumer becomes an active-duty member of the military during the life of a loan, or the spouse of an active duty member of the military during the life of the loan. In accordance with federal law, the interest rate must be reduced to 6% per year on amounts outstanding during the time in which the service member is on active duty.

35
 

Funds Transfer and Signature Authentication Laws. 

 

Our customers’ business is also subject to the federal Electronic Funds Transfer Act and various other laws, rules and guidelines relating to the procedures and disclosures required for debiting or crediting a debtor’s bank account relating to a consumer loan (i.e., ACH funds transfer). Furthermore, our customers are also subject to various state and federal e-signature rules mandating that certain disclosures be made, and certain steps be followed to obtain and authenticate e-signatures.

 

Debt Collection Practices. 

 

Additionally, our customers’ CSO programs are required by both federal and some state laws to comply with the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Our customers also use the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act as a guide in connection with operating its other collection activities. Our customers are also required to comply with all applicable state collection practices laws.

 

Privacy and Security of Non-Public Customer Information. 

 

Our customers are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations relating to privacy and data security. Under these laws, including the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, our customers must disclose to consumers its privacy policy and practices, including those policies relating to the sharing of consumers’ nonpublic personal information with third parties. This disclosure must be made to consumers when the customer relationship is established and, in some cases, at least annually thereafter. These regulations also require a company to ensure that its systems are designed to protect the confidentiality of consumers’ nonpublic personal information. These regulations also dictate certain actions that it must take to notify consumers if their personal information is disclosed in an unauthorized manner.

 

Anti-Money Laundering and Economic Sanctions. 

 

Our customers are also subject to certain provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Bank Secrecy Act under which a company must maintain an anti-money laundering compliance program covering certain of its business activities. In addition, the Office of Foreign Assets Control prohibits a company from engaging in financial transactions with specially designated nationals.

 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

 

In July 2010, Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which authorized the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) to regulate a variety of consumer finance transactions. The CFPB has regulatory, supervisory, and enforcement powers over non-bank providers of consumer financial products and services, like us. The CFPB has explicit supervisory authority to: (i) examine and require registration of providers of consumer financial products and services, including providers of consumer loans such as us; (ii) adopt rules describing specified acts and practices as being “unfair,” “deceptive,” or “abusive,” and hence unlawful; and (iii) impose recordkeeping obligations. We do not currently know the nature and extent of the rules the CFPB will consider for consumer loan products and services such as those offered by us or the timeframe in which the CFPB may consider such rules.

36
 

The CFPB has indicated that it intends to systematically gather data to obtain a complete understanding of the consumer loan market and its impact on consumers, and the CFPB has also released its Short-Term, Small-Dollar Lending Procedures, which, in conjunction with the CFPB’s supervision and examination manual is the field guide CFPB examiners will use when examining small-dollar lenders such as Advance America. The CFPB’s examination authority permits CFPB examiners to inspect our books and records and ask questions about our business. The CFPB’s examination procedures include specific modules for examining marketing activities, loan application and origination activities, payment processing activities, sustained use by consumers, collection activities, defaults, consumer reporting and third-party relationships. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, additional expenses to monitor and comply with CFPB regulations. Although the CFPB does not have the authority to regulate fees or interest rates, it is possible that the CFPB could propose and adopt rules that would make short-term consumer lending products and services materially less profitable or even impractical to offer, which could force us to modify or terminate certain of our product offerings in the United States. The CFPB also could adopt rules imposing new and potentially burdensome requirements and limitations with respect to other consumer loan products and services. Any such rules may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition or could make the continuance of all or part of our current U.S. business impractical or unprofitable.

 

In addition to the Dodd-Frank Act’s grant of regulatory and supervisory powers to the CFPB, the Dodd-Frank Act gives the CFPB authority to pursue administrative proceedings or litigation for violations of federal consumer financial laws (including the CFPB’s own rules). In these proceedings, the CFPB can obtain cease and desist orders (which can include orders for restitution or rescission of contracts, as well as other kinds of affirmative relief) and monetary penalties ranging from $5,000 per day for ordinary violations of federal consumer financial laws to $25,000 per day for reckless violations and $1 million per day for knowing violations. Also, where a company has violated Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act or CFPB regulations implemented under Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Dodd-Frank Act empowers state attorneys general and state regulators to bring civil actions for the kind of cease and desist orders available to the CFPB. If the CFPB or one or more state officials believe that we have violated any of the applicable laws or regulations, they could exercise their enforcement powers in ways that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Other Federal Laws

 

Our customers’ products and services are subject to a variety of other federal laws and regulations, such as the Truth-in-Lending Act (“TILA”), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), the Bank Secrecy Act, the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, the Money Laundering Suppression Act of 1994, and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (the “PATRIOT Act”), and the regulations promulgated under each. Among other things, these laws require disclosure of the principal terms of each transaction to every customer, prohibit misleading advertising, protect against discriminatory lending practices, and proscribe unfair credit practices. TILA and Regulation Z, adopted under TILA, require disclosure of, among other things, the pertinent elements of consumer credit transactions, including the dollar amount of the finance charge and the charge expressed in terms of an annual percentage rate.

 

Our customers’ marketing efforts and representations made about their loan advances are subject to federal and state unfair and deceptive practices statutes. The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) enforces the Federal Trade Commission Act and the state attorneys general and private plaintiffs enforce the analogous state statutes.

 

Federal Legislative Proposals

 

Various anti-cash advance legislation has been proposed or introduced in the U.S. Congress. Federal and state legislators continue to receive pressure from consumer advocates and other industry opposition groups to adopt such legislation. In 2008 and 2009, bills were introduced in the U.S. Congress that would have placed a cap of 36% on the effective annual percentage rate (“APR”) on all consumer loan transactions. Another bill would have placed a 15-cents-per-dollar borrowed ($0.15/$1.00) cap on fees for cash advances and would have implemented other consumer protections. Other bills have been introduced that would have limited to six the number of cash advances a customer would be permitted to receive in any 12-month period. Any federal legislation or regulation that places restrictions on cash advances and similar services could have a material adverse effect on our customers’ business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition. Any federal law that would impose a 36% APR limit or prohibit or severely restrict cash advance services may eliminate our customers’ ability to continue their current operations and in turn negatively affect our revenues and results of operations.

37
 

State and Local Regulations

 

Our customers’ consumer loan business is regulated under a variety of enabling state statutes and is also subject to various local rules and regulations. The scope of state regulation, including the fees and terms of a company’s consumer loan products and services, varies from state to state. The terms of our customers’ loan products and services will vary from state to state to comply with the laws and regulations of the states in which it operates. The states with laws that specifically regulate the consumer loan products and services typically limit the principal amount of a consumer loan and set maximum fees or interest rates that customers may be charged. Most states also limit a customer’s ability to renew a short-term consumer loan and require various disclosures to consumers. State statutes often specify minimum and maximum maturity dates for consumer loans and, in some cases, specify mandatory cooling-off periods between transactions. Our customers’ collection activities regarding past due amounts are subject to consumer protection laws and state regulations relating to debt collection practices. In addition, some states require certain disclosures or content to accompany a company’s advertising and marketing materials. Also, some states require a company to report loan activity to statewide databases and restrict the number and/or principal amount of loans a consumer may have outstanding at any time or over the course of a period, typically twelve months. The local rules and regulations vary widely from city to city. The most restrictive local rules and regulations relate to zoning and land use restrictions; however, local jurisdictions’ efforts to regulate or restrict the terms of a consumer loan product have recently increased, predominantly in the State of Texas.

 

In states or jurisdictions where the credit facilities offer CSO programs, our customers are required to comply with that jurisdiction’s Credit Services Organization Act, Credit Access Business law or a similar statute. These laws generally define the services that the Company can provide to consumers and require the Company to provide a contract to the customer outlining the Company’s services and the cost of those services to the customer. In addition, these laws may require additional disclosures to consumers and may require the Company to be registered with the jurisdiction and/or be bonded.

 

Over the last few years, legislation that prohibits or severely restricts our customers’ loan products and services or the profitability of the loan products and services has been introduced or adopted in a number of states.

 

South Africa Credit Regulations (The National Credit Act)

 

The National Credit Act (“NCA”) regulates the South Africa credit industry and was designed to protect consumer in the credit market and make credit and banking services more accessible. The Purpose of the NCA Act is to: promote a fair and non-discriminatory market place for access to consumer credit; regulate consumer credit and improve standards of Consumer information; prohibit certain unfair credit and credit marketing practices; promote responsible credit granting and use; prohibit reckless credit granting; provide for debt re-organization in case of over-indebtedness; to regulate credit information; and establish recourse for unfair credit practices. The NCA does this by simplifying and standardizing credit agreements and information disclosure; providing for the use of simple language that is easy to understand for comparing credit agreements from different credit providers; ensures all credit products are handled in the same way by credit providers; assisting over-indebted Consumers to restructure their debt with the help of a Debt Counselor (DC) and encourage responsible lending; regulates credit bureaus in terms of their Consumer information and records; establishing the National Credit Regulator (NCR) to regulate the entire credit market; and establishing the National Consumer Tribunal (CT) to adjudicate on Consumer complaints and disputes with credit providers, contraventions of The Act and decisions of the Regulator.

 

The NCA affects anyone dealing with the credit industry such as credit grantors, credit grantees and intermediaries. The NCA defines a “credit agreement” broadly as any installment purchase agreement of goods or services, as well as the extension of credit in the form of money i.e. home loans, personal loans, credit cards, store cards and short-term loans. Therefore, a credit agreement applies to any party involved in the credit agreement which is classified into three categories namely incidental credit agreements; intermediate agreements; and large credit agreements.

38
 

Credit Providers include banks, micro lenders, retailers such as furniture and clothing stores, all businesses, companies, close corporations, partnerships and individuals who do business on credit, provide loans or charge interest on overdue accounts. Consumers Include natural person, companies, close corporations, trusts (with more than three individual trustees), partnerships and an association of persons whose asset value or annual turnover, together with the combined asset value or annual turnover of all related juristic persons, at the time the agreement is made, equals or exceeds the threshold value of 1 million rands.

 

The NCA lists a number of consumer rights, which are protected by the Act. A party who breaches Consumer rights protected by the NCA commits an offence in terms of credit law, which enables Consumer recourse through the established dispute channels. The following are Consumer rights protected in the NCA:

 

  o To apply for credit

  o To be protected against discrimination in the granting of credit

  o To be informed why credit has not been granted, should you ask

  o To receive a free copy of your credit agreement

  o To receive a credit agreement in plain and simple language

  o To have your personal and financial information treated confidential

  o To understand all fees, costs, interest rates, the total installment and any other details

  o To say no to increases on your credit limit

  o To decide whether or not you want to be informed about products or services via telephone, SMS, mail or e-mail campaigns

  o To apply for debt counseling should you be overwhelmed by debt

 

The key points of the NCA are:

 

1. Marketing

 

The NCA restricts and prohibits certain practices of loan canvassing such as door to door selling, uninvited canvassing at workplaces or homes. The NCA also increased control over marketing practices and advertisements such as automatic credit limit increases and negative option marketing i.e. if you do not decline, we will assume you agree. In addition, the National Credit Act provides for clear and understandable marketing communication. Consumers must receive a detailed written quote, which is valid for 5 business days, to enable quote comparisons from different credit providers.

 

2. Capped Interest Rates and Other Fees and Charges

 

The NCA effectively caps the interest rates, fees and other charges, which credit providers, can charge, depending on the type of credit and when the credit was granted. The maximum interest rate, in most cases, is based on a formula, which is dependent on the SA Reserve Bank Repurchase (Repo) rate at the time that the credit was granted. Essentially, there are seven rate categories namely mortgage agreements; credit cards/facilities; unsecured credit transactions; short-term credit transactions; developmental credit agreements; other credit agreements and incidental credit agreements. The NCA places a cap on the maximum amount that a credit provider can charge for other fees such as initiation fees, monthly service, and default and collection costs. While a loan protection policy is permitted, the charges must “be reasonable” and the Consumer may use/cede an existing insurance cover.

 

3. Loan Application

 

The NCA requires credit providers to supply simple contracts that are easy to understand, in two official languages and the Consumer must receive a free copy. Consumers are also entitled to a reason, on request, when the credit provider denies credit. The NCA requires credit providers to do due diligence to ensure the Consumer can afford the loan and all loans must be recorded on a register to prevent Consumers becoming over-indebted.

 

4. Reckless Lending

 

Credit providers are in contravention of the NCA and may be judged guilty of reckless lending if the Consumers ability to afford loan repayments is not assessed before granting credit. Credit providers may be subject to severe penalties and may even forfeit their right to recover the debt if they are judged guilty of reckless lending. However, Consumers who failed to fill in the loan application fully and honestly are not protected by the NCA.

39
 

5. Debt Counselor & Counseling

 

The NCA gives Consumers the right to apply for financial management and debt counseling assistance if he or she is unable to pay their debts. The Debt Counselor (DC) is registered by the NCR after successful course and exam completion. Debt counselors will help over-indebted Consumers restructure/rearrange their debt repayments, this process can be voluntary or made an order of the court.

 

All DCs must be registered with the National Credit Regulator and fees are prescribed in terms of the NCA. Consumers must understand and accept the process, charges and payments before undergoing debt counseling. Once the Consumer has signed for debt counseling, the credit bureau is notified, and the Consumer will be unable to obtain further credit for the duration of debt counseling until the process is finalized/withdrawn.

 

6. Credit Bureau

 

The NCA requires all credit bureau to be registered with and submit reports to the National Credit Regulator. Credit bureau are required to ensure data is accurate at all times and that inaccurate information is immediately removed without cost to the Consumer after the Consumer has lodged a complaint. The NCA regulations stipulate how Credit bureau information is obtained, used, and for how long it should remain on a Consumer’s profile.

 

In addition, Consumers are eligible for one free credit report from each credit bureau each year to effectively manage their credit profiles.

 

7. The National Credit Regulator and the Consumer Tribunal

 

The NCA established the NCR to regulate the credit industry and ensure that credit providers comply with the NCA. In addition, the NCR is responsible for investigating and evaluating Consumer complaints about alleged contraventions of the NCA by credit providers. All credit providers, credit bureau and debt counselors must register and report to the NCR.

 

In addition to the NCR, the NCA established the Consumer Tribunal with equal status to a court of law to hear and adjudicate on: applications made in terms of the NCA by consumers; credit providers and credit bureau; debt counselors and the NCR including applications for interim relief and a review of the NCR’s decisions; matters referred to by the NCR or complaints related to allegations of prohibited

The decrease is primarily attributable to not raising any funds from selling common stock in fiscal year 2019. 

 

We estimate that we will have operating costs of $630,000 from June 1, 2019 to the remainder of fiscal year 2019 assuming we receive sufficient funding.

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Board of Directors

 

Directors are elected at our annual meeting of shareholders and serve for one year until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. We reimburse all directors for their expenses in connection with their activities as our directors.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have determined that it is in our best interests and its shareholders to combine these roles. Due to the small size and our early development stage, we believe it is currently most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions combined.

 

Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board of directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. The board of directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our general risk management strategy, and us and also ensures that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing us and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

 

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among our directors and/or our officers.

 

Meetings of our Board of Directors

  

We have had no meetings of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has approved corporate actions by Board resolution.

 

Terms of Office

 

Each Director holds office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. Any director vacancy may be filed by an affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors.

  

Compensation of Director

 

Our Directors have not been compensated for their service as our Directors. The Board of Directors has not awarded any options to our Directors. There are no contractual arrangements between our Directors and us.

 

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

 

We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

In accordance with our bylaws, we will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of that he is or was our director or officer against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with which action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us, we have been advised that it is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s opinion that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

  

Corporate Governance

 

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

 

We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.

 

Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors is currently composed of two members, Jaco Folscher and Wouter Fouche, neither of which qualify as independent directors. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to our management and us.

48
 

Audit, Nominating and Compensation Committee

 

We currently do not have audit, nominating or compensation committees nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Board of Directors as a whole will review audit, nominating and compensation matters.

 

In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company review the Company’s internal accounting controls, practices and policies.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a) (14) of the FINRA Rules.

 

We believe that our Director(s) are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our Directors do not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of Directors can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent Director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the expenditures that we will incur over the next 24 months, in large part pertaining to developing our US operations (See Plan of Operations beginning at page 41)

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our Directors and our Executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

  1. 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 competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

 

  4. Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;

 

  5. Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated;

 

  6. Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or(ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or(iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or Shareholder Proposals

49
 

We do not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our corporate governance develops to a more advanced level. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by Nevada corporate law and Article 5 of our bylaws. Article 5 of our bylaws provides that we will indemnify any person who was or is party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or is a director of officer. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

We have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of UPAY, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UPAY, Inc. (the Company) as of February 28, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, statement of stockholders’ equity and accumulated other comprehensive loss, and statements of cash flows for the two years ending February 28, 2019, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows, 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 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. 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.

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 accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

 

1.Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

UPAY, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 8, 2015. By a Share Exchange Agreement dated November 4, 2015, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rent Pay (Pty) Ltd (“Rent Pay”), in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition is a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization. Rent Pay was incorporated in South Africa on February 1, 2012. Because Rent Pay is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, the consolidated financial statements are presented as a continuation of Rent Pay and include the results of operations of Rent Pay since incorporation on February 1, 2012, and the results of operations of the Company since the date of acquisition on November 4, 2015.

Rent Pay operates principally in South Africa and engages in software development and licensing and provides services to the credit provider industry.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is February 28. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Rent Pay. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

b)Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

c)Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and cash held with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

d)Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at net invoice value and such receivables are non-interest bearing. Receivables are considered past due based on the contractual payment terms. Receivables are reviewed and specific amounts are reserved if collectability is no longer reasonably assured.

e)Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives of the assets:

IT equipment   3 years 
Motor vehicles   5 years 
Office equipment   5 years 
Furniture and fixtures   6 years 

The Company periodically performs impairment testing on its long-lived assets either annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360. All long-lived assets were deemed recoverable at February 28, 2019, and 2018.

f)Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

F-7
 

UPAY, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

 

The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, taxes payable, and obligations under finance lease. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the years ended February 28, 2019, or 2018. The recorded values of all financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

g)Foreign Currency Translation

Management has adopted ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation Matters”, as the functional currency of the Company is the South African rand and the reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Average rates for the period are used to translate revenues and expenses. The cumulative translation adjustment is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

h)Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue through licensing its software and by collecting various transaction fees from third party debit orders.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), to update the financial reporting requirements for revenue recognition. Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach on March 1, 2018.

The Company has several revenue streams and they are recognized as below:

Branch Setup Fees

This is a once off, non-refundable cost that the company charges when a customer is onboarded. Revenue is recognized immediately and is collected in the same month. This results in no accounts receivable at the end of the month as revenue is recognized and collected immediately.

Data Migration Fees

This only applies to a customer applying to migrate client data from a previous system to our system. We invoice for this service as soon as data is successfully transferred, imported and verified by our customer. Revenue is recognized upon invoicing and payment is collected within two days due to debit order mandates signed by the customer as part of the agreement. This results in no outstanding accounts receivable as of the end of each month.

F-8
 

UPAY, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

 

Monthly Rental Fees

Our software is made available on a web-based software platform and is offered as software as a service. Our agreement is an evergreen agreement (auto-renewed) and if not terminated by a customer, remains intact. Termination may occur by either party at any point with 30 days’ notice. The monthly software rental fee is payable every month per branch. Monthly software rental fees are payable in the beginning of each month. The monthly rental fees are invoiced during the first few days of a month and is recognized over the period of the month. Payments are collected via debit order a few days later, prior to the end of that month, due to debit order mandate signed by the customer. This results in no accounts receivable as invoicing and payment happens within the same month.

Development Service Fee

We have some clients that we do custom software development for, on some versions of our software. Here we adopt a scrum methodology with 2-week development sprints. We agree on a price per hour for development with these clients, typically through email communication. We send an invoice for the work completed and usually get paid within the same month. On this revenue stream we do not run a debit order, but clients need to pay invoices before we continue with the next development increment. Payments are due and revenue is recognized upon invoicing. At times collecting payment can take up to 30 days. Unpaid invoices, if any, are recorded to accounts receivable at the end of each month, but invoicing and payment usually happen within the same month.

Transactional Fees

We offer an integrated debit order facility built into our software. When our clients (lenders) create loans with consumers, the consumer contracts directly with us on a separate agreement. We then act as a third-party payment provider, to facilitate the repayment of loans from the consumer to the lender by debit order.

We are registered as a third-party payment provider and all payments collected on this stream are settled by the bank directly into our bank account. We only charge a fee on successful debit order collections and retain that fee when we distribute funds collected on behalf of consumers. The transaction fees charged for these transactions are called CTC and they are displayed on the signed agreement that the consumer signs with us. The CTC fees are paid by the consumer, in addition to the loan installment collected. The loan installment and CTC are collected as one amount, but the CTC is retained by us upon distribution of funds to lenders. Revenue is recognized as each new order is processed and the transaction fee is charged. Our software system counts and accounts for each individual transaction and its amount and this is generated on a report on our Acpas software. We use this report to confirm the revenue recognition in our billing system. If there are any CTC that has yet to be collected at an end of a period, it is recorded as accounts receivable.

Credit Protection Insurance Commission

Some insurance companies offer insurance products on loans that cover the consumer for the full repayment of his debt to the lender, in case of unforeseen events. There is an insurance product from one of our suppliers (an insurance company) that we make available for the insurance company on our software program. In return for making this product available the insurance company would pay us monthly commission on premiums they received. This is a product offered by the insurance company directly to the consumer and we only make it available on our software platform. If this option is selected when a loan is created, an additional fee is added to the loan repayment amount. The software system calculates the insurance premiums and all premiums for a given month are paid by lenders to the insurance company, or lenders use our payment service and instruct us to manage the payments on their behalf.

After receiving the premiums and supporting reports, the insurance company will then calculate and verify the premiums paid and premium claw back to this point and work out the commission payable based on the premiums received. Upon collection of the premiums, the insurance company will complete their final calculations and the insurance company will then pay all commissions earned by us and the lenders. We distribute the commission amounts due to the lenders within two days of receiving such payments from the insurance company. Revenue is recognized upon collection of the premiums from the consumers.

i)Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

j)Comprehensive Income (Loss)

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at February 28, 2019, and 2018, the only item that represents comprehensive income (loss) was foreign currency translation.

k)Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. EPS is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS if applicable is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS would reflect the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, performance-based restricted stock units that have satisfied their performance factor and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method.

l)Income Taxes

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based on the history of losses incurred.

ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of February 28, 2019, the Company does not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.

All tax periods from inception remain open to examination by taxing authorities due to the net operating losses. To date the Company’s acquired subsidiaries have not filed the required income tax returns.

m)Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of February 28, 2019, the Company does not have revenues sufficient to execute its business plan. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements. There is no assurance that this will be successful.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

n)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Compensation Accounting”, which requires that excess tax benefits are recorded on the income statement as opposed to additional paid-in-capital and treated as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 also allows companies to make an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current U.S. GAAP) or account for forfeitures when they occur. ASU 2016-09 further requires cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes to be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. The ASU 2016-09 was subsequently updated with ASU 2017-09, issued in May 2017. These standards will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard Topic 718, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Compensation Accounting, and all of the related amendments. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant financial impact due to prior taxable losses and our net operating loss carry forward.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 related to the statement of cash flows. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. The new guidance will require that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents is required to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The amendment should be adopted retrospectively. On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard Topic 230, Restricted Cash. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-11 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”: (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Non-public Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Management believes that Topics 260 and 480 pertains to the Company and the impact will be immaterial.

In September 2017, FASB issued and update to ASC 606— Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard and all of the related amendments as discussed in the revenue recognition accounting policy description disclosed in Note 2.

On November 22, 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-14 – “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This update amends SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release No. 33-10403, which bring existing guidance into conformity with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

In January 2018, FASB issued Update 2018-01 – Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, which states the amendments in this Update affect the amendments in Update 2016-02, which are not yet effective but may be early adopted, and Example 10 of Subtopic 350- 30. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. An entity that early adopted Topic 842 should apply the amendments in this Update upon issuance.

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”. This ASU deals with the reclassification of certain tax effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We do not believe that there will be any significant financial impact due to prior taxable losses and our net operating loss carry forward.

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted (but no sooner than the adoption of Topic 606). The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

9.Income Taxes

The potential benefit of net operating losses for the Company have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. The Company did not incur any income tax expense to the Internal Revenue Services for the years ended February 28, 2019, or 2018. However, Rent Pay did have income tax expense of $3,930 to the South African Revenue Services for the year ended February 28, 2019 (2018 – $5,005). Given the short history of the Company and the uncertainty as to the likelihood of future taxable income, the Company has recorded a 100% valuation reserve against the anticipated recovery from the use of the net operating losses. The Company will evaluate the appropriateness of the valuation allowance on an annual basis and adjust the allowance as considered necessary. The Company’s US net operating loss is approximately $190,000 at February 28, 2019, which starts to expire in 2036.

The table below reconciles the US federal income tax rate to the effective rate for the years ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

(unaudited)

 

1.Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

UPAY, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 8, 2015. By a Share Exchange Agreement dated November 4, 2015, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rent Pay (Pty) Ltd (“Rent Pay”), in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition is a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization. Rent Pay was incorporated in South Africa on February 1, 2012. Because Rent Pay is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, the consolidated financial statements are presented as a continuation of Rent Pay and include the results of operations of Rent Pay since incorporation on February 1, 2012, and the results of operations of the Company since the date of acquisition on November 4, 2015.

Rent Pay operates principally in South Africa and engages in software development and licensing and provides services to the credit provider industry.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is February 28. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Rent Pay. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

b)Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end February 28, 2019, have been omitted.

c)Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

d)Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and cash held with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

e)Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at net invoice value and such receivables are non-interest bearing. Receivables are considered past due based on the contractual payment terms. Receivables are reviewed and specific amounts are reserved if collectability is no longer reasonably assured.

UPAY, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

(unaudited)

 

f)Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives of the assets:

IT equipment   3 years 
Office equipment   5 years 
Furniture and fixtures   6 years 

The Company periodically performs impairment testing on its long-lived assets either annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360. All property and equipment assets were deemed recoverable at August 31, 2019, and February 28, 2019.

g)Right-of-use Assets

Right-of-use Assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and any impairment in value. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives of the assets:

Right-of-use building   Term of lease 
Right-of-use vehicles   5 years 

The Company periodically performs impairment testing on its long-lived assets either annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360. All right-of-use assets were deemed recoverable at August 31, 2019, and February 28, 2019.

h)Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, taxes payable, lease liabilities, and obligations under finance lease. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the six months ended August 31, 2019, or 2018. The recorded values of all financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

i)Foreign Currency Translation

Management has adopted ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation Matters”, as the functional currency of the Company is the South African rand and the reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Average rates for the period are used to translate revenues and expenses. The cumulative translation adjustment is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

j)Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842, “Leases”, and its amendments and applied the transition provisions as of March 1, 2019, which included recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment through opening retained earnings as of that date. Prior year amounts were not recast under this transition approach and, therefore, prior year amounts are excluded from the leased properties footnote. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. In addition, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company elected a policy of not recording leases on its consolidated balance sheets when the leases have a term of 12 months or less and the Company is not reasonably certain to elect an option to purchase the leased asset. The Company recognizes payments on these leases within general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

For contracts entered into before March 1, 2019, the Company determined whether the arrangement contained a lease under Topic 840. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, these leases were classified as operating or finance leases based on an assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset. The Company leases office space and vehicles.

On transition, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the determination of which contract is or contains a lease and applied ASC 842 to those contracts that were previously identified as leases. Upon transition to the new standard, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted by the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at March 1, 2019. The non-cash adjustment has been excluded from the consolidated statement of cash flows. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized under ASC 842 was 10.25%.

Adoption of ASC 842 had the following impact on the financial position as at March 1, 2019:

k)Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue through licensing its software and by collecting various transaction fees from third party debit orders. The Company has several revenue streams and they are recognized as below:

Branch Setup Fees

This is a once off, non-refundable cost that the company charges when a customer is onboarded. Revenue is recognized immediately and is collected in the same month. This results in no accounts receivable at the end of the month as revenue is recognized and collected immediately.

Data Migration Fees

This only applies to a customer applying to migrate client data from a previous system to our system. We invoice for this service as soon as data is successfully transferred, imported and verified by our customer. Revenue is recognized upon invoicing and payment is collected within two days due to debit order mandates signed by the customer as part of the agreement. This results in no outstanding accounts receivable as of the end of each month.

Monthly Rental Fees

Our software is made available on a web-based software platform and is offered as software as a service. Our agreement is an evergreen agreement (auto-renewed) and if not terminated by a customer, remains intact. Termination may occur by either party at any point with 30 days’ notice. The monthly software rental fee is payable every month per branch. Monthly software rental fees are payable in the beginning of each month. The monthly rental fees are invoiced during the first few days of a month and is recognized over the period of the month. Payments are collected via debit order a few days later, prior to the end of that month, due to debit order mandate signed by the customer. This results in no accounts receivable as invoicing and payment happens within the same month.

Development Service Fee

We have some clients that we do custom software development for, on some versions of our software. Here we adopt a scrum methodology with 2-week development sprints. We agree on a price per hour for development with these clients, typically through email communication. We send an invoice for the work completed and usually get paid within the same month. On this revenue stream we do not run a debit order, but clients need to pay invoices before we continue with the next development increment. Payments are due and revenue is recognized upon invoicing. At times collecting payment can take up to 30 days. Unpaid invoices, if any, are recorded to accounts receivable at the end of each month, but invoicing and payment usually happen within the same month.

Transactional Fees

We offer an integrated debit order facility built into our software. When our clients (lenders) create loans with consumers, the consumer contracts directly with us on a separate agreement. We then act as a third-party payment provider, to facilitate the repayment of loans from the consumer to the lender by debit order.

We are registered as a third-party payment provider and all payments collected on this stream are settled by the bank directly into our bank account. We only charge a fee on successful debit order collections and retain that fee when we distribute funds collected on behalf of consumers. The transaction fees charged for these transactions are called CTC and they are displayed on the signed agreement that the consumer signs with us. The CTC fees are paid by the consumer, in addition to the loan installment collected. The loan installment and CTC are collected as one amount, but the CTC is retained by us upon distribution of funds to lenders. Revenue is recognized as each new order is processed and the transaction fee is charged. Our software system counts and accounts for each individual transaction and its amount and this is generated on a report on our Acpas software. We use this report to confirm the revenue recognition in our billing system. If there are any CTC that has yet to be collected at an end of a period, it is recorded as accounts receivable.

Credit Protection Insurance Commission

Some insurance companies offer insurance products on loans that cover the consumer for the full repayment of his debt to the lender, in case of unforeseen events. There is an insurance product from one of our suppliers (an insurance company) that we make available for the insurance company on our software program. In return for making this product available the insurance company would pay us monthly commission on premiums they received. This is a product offered by the insurance company directly to the consumer and we only make it available on our software platform. If this option is selected when a loan is created, an additional fee is added to the loan repayment amount. The software system calculates the insurance premiums and all premiums for a given month are paid by lenders to the insurance company, or lenders use our payment service and instruct us to manage the payments on their behalf.

After receiving the premiums and supporting reports, the insurance company will then calculate and verify the premiums paid and premium claw back to this point and work out the commission payable based on the premiums received. Upon collection of the premiums, the insurance company will complete their final calculations and the insurance company will then pay all commissions earned by us and the lenders. We distribute the commission amounts due to the lenders within two days of receiving such payments from the insurance company. Revenue is recognized upon collection of the premiums from the consumers.

l)Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

m)Comprehensive Income (Loss)

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at August 31, 2019, and 2018, the only item that represents comprehensive income (loss) was foreign currency translation.

n)Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. EPS is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS if applicable is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS would reflect the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, performance-based restricted stock units that have satisfied their performance factor and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method.

o)Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of August 31, 2019, the Company does not have revenues sufficient to execute its business plan. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements. There is no assurance that this will be successful.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

p)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company adopted Topic 842 on March 1, 2019. See note 2(j) for details of the impact of the adoption of Topic 842 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-11 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”: (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Non-public Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Management believes that Topics 260 and 480 pertains to the Company and the impact will be immaterial.

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”. This ASU deals with the reclassification of certain tax effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted (but no sooner than the adoption of Topic 606). The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of that he is or was a director or officer.

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes allow us to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under certain circumstances, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner, which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

 

NRS 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes allows a corporation to authorize discretionary indemnification under certain circumstances. A corporation shall have discretion to indemnify only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination may be made (i) by the shareholders; (ii) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be provided to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i.     To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii.    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement. 

 

iii.   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(5)     Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
