Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management such unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of this interim information. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year. The information included in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2017 filed on SEC website on November 15, 2017.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
|
●

Level 2 -
|
Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

Level 3 -

Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The Company evaluated its convertible notes to determine if the embedded component of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company determined that due to the variable number of common stock that the notes convert to, the embedded conversion option were required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative liability is calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a derivative liability for the calculated value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are recorded in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. Upon conversion of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

NOTE 1 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company’s derivative instruments were valued using the Lattice model which was based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Assumptions used in the valuation include the following: a) underlying stock price ranging from $0.0026 to $0.087; b) projected discount on the conversion price ranging from 35% to 50% with the notes effectively converting at discounts in the range of 24% to 34%; c) projected volatility of 240% to 383%; d) probabilities related to default and redemption of the notes during the term of the notes.
The Company has considered the provisions of ASC 480,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
, as the conversion feature embedded in each debenture could result in the note principal being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
The FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”, requires the Company to include additional shares in the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution.
Diluted earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options are assumed to be exercised at the time of issuance, and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The Company does not have diluted effects on common stock as there was no warrant or option issued.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as there was no dilutive effect of outstanding stock options for the periods ended October 31, 2017 and 2016.
The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016:

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN (continued)
Historically, it has mostly relied upon internally generated funds such as shareholder loans and advances to finance its operation and growth. Management may raise additional capital by future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon it and its shareholders.
