We believe that there is a place for our services between the entrepreneurs and other parties to fill the gap in social media and networking sites.

 

We desire to create a social environment with educational tools and connections for the members to thrive together with other successful members.

 

We are dedicated to establishing a platform for thriving online entrepreneurs and interested parties to network. In addition, we strive to provide great software tools for educational and technical purposes, as well as for those who are just starting to learn how to be a professional mentor, online trader, freelancer, or entrepreneur. With this platform they can build and grow their skills, network, and credibility.

We designed and build packages for the following groups mentors, online traders, start-ups, and free-lancers.

 

6. Transaction Services

The Entrepreneurs and interested parties consist of various industries including the Finance industry. We understand building and establishing a user's company and network requires different kinds of tools. With our income sharing platform and programs, every company will have an edge to increase sells in their products. The income sharing platform is based on the deals or contracts made between Co-optrade and other companies involved. Currently, Co-optrade has not entered into such any contracts. The anticipated transaction services are subject to change or improvement due to current stage of software development. If Contracts has been successfully made, these contracts could help hastened the growth or expansion of the company. However, if the company fails to establish any contracts it may cause slow growth and loss to the company that impact the current investors negatively or may lead to stagnant attraction of potential investors.

We also have informative resources on Start-up marketing plans for those members who wish to take their idea or company public.

 

Note:

The anticipated cost associated with the implementation of different business services and the cost impact of the use of proceeds are included in the projected available funds for the completion of Social Networking Site ($400,000) and Networking Mobile app ($250,000).

 

8. Market Analysis and Opportunity

Currently, there are a few entrepreneur oriented social networking service websites. Over the years, startup crowd funding sites, freelancer sites, mobile mini investment apps, business-oriented sites, and other match making business-oriented applications (apps) have been increasing. Co-optrade noticed a gap between these websites and mobile apps. By integrating all those sites, apps, or software tools into one social networking platform we believe we will fill the gap.  

 

Digital Advertising is one of the main sources of income for a social networking service. The Digital Advertising market fuels its growth with targeted website and mobile advertising. The market for web and mobile platforms keeps growing as the years pass. In the United States of America alone, entrepreneurs have spent over one hundred billion dollars per year on digital marketing advertisement for web and mobile platforms. There is one hundred billion dollars to compete over within the industry. Through our pricing strategy of pay what you want and market-oriented pricing, we will be competitive, and at the same time aligned with our mission statement which is to connect all entrepreneurs and interested parties. We are planning to target the one percent of that spending which is approximately a one-billion-dollar revenue per year potential.

B. Risk Factors

 

1. Summary of Risk Factors

An investment in the Units is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of the investment. You should carefully consider the matters discussed beginning on page 3 of this Offering Circular before you decide whether to invest in the Units. Some of the risks include the following:

 

2. Company's limited history

The Company is in the early stage of development and must be considered a start-up. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations. The Company has limited financial resources has no source of operating cash flow and there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of the Company's properties or to fulfill its obligations under any applicable agreements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company's sole property.

 

3. Company’s negative operating cash flow

The Company currently has no revenues from its operations and may use the proceeds of the Offering to fund any negative operating cash flow.

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the cash method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $        as of February 28, 2019. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its initial operations by issuing common shares. We cannot be certain that capital will be provided when it is required.

 

4. Funding

Since creation of the Company in August 28, 2017, its activities have been funded entirely by advances from management and shareholders. It is possible that the Company will not succeed in its financings and there is no assurance that alternative funding will be available. Should adequate funding not be available, management of the Company will have to make decisions as to how the Company can carry on with its business plans.

The Company currently does not have funds to complete its Short-Term Objectives. To implement and complete the steps outlined in “Short Term Objectives” on page 5 of this Offering Circular, the Company will need to be successful in its fundraising efforts under this Offering Circular.


6 | Page


The Company requires additional sources of funding to continue developing the business in ITEM 6 – Use of Proceeds to the Issuer on page 12 of this Offering Circular and the long-term plan to market the company and develop the targeting into multiple markets, which may come from private placements, public offerings or joint venture arrangements.

 

Future financing requirements: The Company will need additional financing to continue in business and to implement the developments identified in ITEM 6 of this Offering Circular and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, will be on reasonable terms. If by any reasons the requirement is not meet some of the services planned will be postponed and the attention of the available funds will focus on further development of the Networking Site and the Mobile App to satisfy the current users. Furthermore, the impact to the investors could result in a loss of earning opportunities.

5. Development and Operations Risks

The development and marketing of technological applications involves significant risks that even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate.

 

While the service to provide social networking site to diverse audience. Major expenditures may be required to develop the product to target hundreds of market places simultaneously, and the considerable cost to market the business to target those sectors to ensure profitability.

 

Whether the Co-optrade Services will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the awareness of the service, competitors in the same market, consumers’ experience with the Company’s customer services department; changes in and application of government regulations, including regulations relating to internet usage, and taxes on internet purchases. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Technology operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Such operations are subject to worldwide market/developer activity, even some such activities that may enjoy sovereign government support.

 

6. Going Concern Risk

The business of developing and marketing technological properties involves a high degree of risk and, therefore, there is no assurance that current marketing programs will result in profitable operations.  The Company cannot guarantee that the service will be used by companies in multiple industry sectors.  Investors should not invest any funds in the Offering unless they can afford to lose their entire investment.

 

7. Viability

The Company cannot guarantee that the service will be used by companies in multiple industry sectors.

The Company’s commercially viability depends on the awareness of the service in entering different market places, therefore the marketing and advertising funding is key.

 

8. Governmental and regulatory requirements

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the Company's operations. Where required, obtaining necessary permits and licenses can be a complex, time consuming process and the Company cannot assure that required permits will be obtainable on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of an exploration project or the operation or further development of a mine.

 

9. Limited public trading market


7 | Page


The Company’s Common Shares are currently not listed on a public market in the United States. Even though there is no resale restriction impose by Regulation A, Tier 2, Investors may hold their investments for indefinite period of time. If the company is not listed in the public market the investors have the right to trade their securities and may have to locate an interested buyer when seeking to resale their investment. Furthermore, failure to be listed in the public market may result for the common stock not having a quantifiable value and may be difficult, if not possible, to ever resell investor’s share, resulting in an inability to realize any value from the investor’s investment.

 

10. Dividends

Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors after taking into account many factors, including the Company's operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

 

11. Cybersecurity Risks

Due to the company’s reliance on technological applications in conducting our operation the risk associated with cybersecurity may not be eliminated. Cyber-attacks may happen without unauthorized access. This means that a possible third party or insider can use highly sophisticated efforts and techniques to get around the networks security or overwhelm the website to gain any necessary information.  

As of this date, there are no cyber-attacks or incidence occurred within the Co-optrade. In an event of successful cyber-attacks may incur substantial cost and suffer negative consequences such as litigation and reputational damage adversely affecting current and potential investors. Lost revenues may occur resulting from unauthorized use of proprietary information that may lead to the delays finishing the current development.

As for mitigation from the cyber-attacks remediation cost may include liability for stolen assets or information and repairing system damage. Furthermore, Co-optrade will offer incentives to current and potential customers, investors, or other business partners in keeping business relationships after the attack.  Increased cybersecurity protection costs that may include organizational changes, deploying more personnel and protection technologies, training, and engaging third party experts and consultants.

12. Engaging to Initial Public Offering

No initial public offering is presently scheduled. Should there be an initial public offering may vary from the market price for the Company’s common stock. Upon the initial public offering common stock price may fluctuate significantly. Purchasing the shares of the company’s initial public offering, investors may not be able to resell shares at or above the initial public offering. Engaging to Initial Public an active or liquid market in the company’s common stock may not develop upon closing the initial public offering or, if it does develop, it may not be sustainable.

 

13. Co-optrade’s decision makers

The Co-optrade CEO has no experience developing or operating similar companies. The Co-optrade CEO has limited expertise in the development if the apps and services. The purchaser of the stocks needs to conduct his/her own due diligence.

 

Source of Funds: Co-optrade is at development stage technology company which involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether it will earn revenue from its sales and therefore generate cash flow from operations. The Company’s primary source of funds will come from the issuance of capital stock.

14. Future Financing Requirements

The Company will need additional financing to continue in business and to implement the programs set out in ITEM 6 – USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER on page 11 of this Offering Circular and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, will be on reasonable terms. If financing is obtained by issuing Common Shares from treasury, control of the Company may change and investors under the Offering may suffer additional


8 | Page


dilution. To the extent financing is not available, programmer commitments, advertising payments, and retailer payments, if any, may not be satisfied and could result in a loss of earning opportunities by the Company.

 

15. Dependence Upon Key Personnel:

The Company, in order to successfully implement its growth plans, is dependent upon its current Board of Directors which includes Melandrew Santos, CEO.  The loss of any party could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business prospects. The Company will depend heavily on its management team to effectively implement its Business Plan.    The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon the performance of its key officers.

 

16. Difficulty of Planned Expansion;

The Company plans to continue to expand its level of operations following this offering. To manage its growth effectively, the Company must continue to improve and expand its existing resources and production systems. To do so, it must attract, train and motivate qualified managerial, financial, sales and marketing personnel.   There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully achieve these goals.

 

17. Market for Securities

There is no assurance that the listing of the securities of the Company will provide a liquid market for such securities. See ITEM 11 – SECURITIES BEING OFFERED on page 19 of this Offering Circular. There can be no assurance that an active public market for the Company's Common Shares will develop or be sustained after completion of the Offering. The price of the Units in this Offering was determined by the Company based upon several factors and may bear no relationship to the price that will prevail in the public market. The holding of Common Shares involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment.

 

18. Competition

There are numerous social networking sites that provide information to a diverse audience. Facebook is the most dominant social networking site and has a vast number of users. Furthermore, regards to business social networking-oriented sites, LinkedIn is the most popular in terms of number of users.  Another popular social networking which have entrepreneur community but focuses more about web content blog discussion is Reddit.  The company intends to compete within the industry. The front runner social media companies were based on statistics by Statista (Statista.com).

 

The market for social networking sites has grown and become more focus oriented. Co-optrade will change the social networking industry through connecting all the entrepreneurs such as freelancers, online traders, interested parties, start-up builders and other industry affected start-ups like the finance industry. We have concluded that there is a lack of network with these industries and users. We plan to eliminate that gap to connect them all into one database.

If more potential or current competitors become part of this industry, the issuer will get less profit which presents problems that may affect the company’s services and profits towards investors.

 

19. Dividend Policy

Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors after taking into account many factors, including the Company's operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

 

20. Arbitrary Offering Price

The Offering Price of the Units has been determined subjectivity by the Company. The Offering Price is not an indication of the value of the Units and the underlying technology comprising the Units or that any of the Units and the securities comprising the Units could be sold for an amount equal to the Offering Price or for any amount.

 

21. Factors Beyond the Company's Control


9 | Page


Application of business development services and technology depends upon a number of factors, not the least of which is the technical skill of the programmers developing the software. Other key factors out with the Company’s control include how suppliers are invited to bid on contracts, updates to government procurement legislation and changes in the structure of tender documents. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.

 

ITEM 4. DILUTION

The price of the Units under the Offering is higher than the average per share value of the Common Shares previously issued. Accordingly, investors who purchase Units in the Offering will incur immediate dilution in the pro forma value of their Units. This means that investors that purchase Units will pay a price per Unit that exceeds the average per share value of the Company's previously issued Common Shares. The Company may from time to time issue additional Units or Common Shares, which may result in dilution of existing shareholders if the Units are sold at a price that is less than the average per share value of the Common Shares previously issued.

Outstanding Units issued by the Company over the past year have been awarded to Melandrew Santos — CEO of Co-optrade for services rendered to the company.

With our income sharing platform and programs, every company will have an edge to increase sells in their products. Currently, Co-optrade has not entered into such any contracts. The anticipated transaction services are subject to change or improvement due to current stage of software development. If Contracts has been successfully made, these contracts could help hastened the growth or expansion of the company.

D. Market Analysis and Opportunity

 

Currently, there are a few entrepreneur oriented social networking service websites. Over the years, startup crowdfunding sites, freelancer sites, mobile mini investment apps, business-oriented sites, and other match making business-oriented applications (apps) have been increasing. Co-optrade noticed a gap between these websites and mobile apps. By integrating all those sites, apps, or software tools into one social networking platform we believe we will fill the gap.  

Digital Advertising are one of the main sources of income for a social networking service. The Digital Advertising market fuels its growth with targeted website and mobile advertising. The market for web and mobile platforms keeps growing as the years pass. In the United States of America alone, entrepreneurs have spent over one hundred billion

dollars per year on digital marketing advertisement for web and mobile platforms. According to Statista (www.statista.com), a leading statistic companies on internet their statistics show that there is one hundred billion dollars to compete over within the industry. Through our pricing strategy of pay what you want and market-oriented pricing, we will be competitive, and at the same time aligned with our mission statement which is to connect all entrepreneurs and interested parties. We are planning to target the one percent of that spending, which is approximately, one-billion-dollar revenue per year potential.

B. Material forward-looking statements

 

This MD&A contains forward-looking information as contemplated by USA SEC securities regulators, known as forward-looking statements. All estimates and statements that describe the Company’s objectives, goals or future plans are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company and described in the forward-looking statements.

E. Commitments

 

The Company has the following commitments for the next 12-month period: None

 

F. Internal controls over financial reporting

 

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company;  

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP;  

ensure the Company’s receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorization of management and the Company’s directors; and  

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized transactions that could have a material effect on the annual or interim financial statements. There were no changes in the Company’s business activities during the year-ended September 30, 2018 and until Feb 28, 2019 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.
 

G. Limitations of controls and procedures

 

The Company’s management, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

 

Further, the design of a control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,


16 | Page


and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

H. Contingent liabilities

 

The Company has no contingent liabilities.

 

I. Capital management

 

The Company’s objectives in managing its capital will be:

To have sufficient capital to ensure that the Company can continue to meet its commitments with respect to its development project and to meet its day to day operating requirements in order to continue as a going concern; and  

To provide a long-term adequate return to shareholders.  

The Company’s capital structure is comprised of working capital deficit and shareholders’ equity.  

Co-optrade is a development stage technology company which involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether it will earn revenue from its sales and therefore generate cash flow from operations. The Company’s primary source of funds will come from the issuance of capital stock.  

The Company’s policy is to invest its excess cash in highly liquid, fully guaranteed, bank sponsored instruments.  

The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the Company. 

During the next twelve months, the company intends to fund its operation through its working capital and the sale of equity through Regulation A, Tier 2 offering. If all required propose Maximum Offering amount (20,000,000 units) are met Co-optrade may proceed as planned to complete the Social Networking Site and Mobile App. We may not need to raise additional funds in the next six months to implement our plans of operation.

As of this moment there are two Board of Directors the CEO Melandrew Santos and Chujun Zhang. Due to this reason, the both directors will be responsible in making decision that they may see fit for Co-optrade. This may change as Co-optrade grows.

 

The lack of independent directors is due to the fact that there is only one non-independent director CEO Director, Melandrew Santos and one independent director, Chujun Zhang. The lack of independent directors on board may result to a possible of conflict of interest on the potential decision making for the company. Co-optrade Directors understand the role of any director is to scrutinize the highest decision making within the company and consistent with enhancing shareholder value. Co-optrade believes diversity of independent and non-independent board of directors may help to potential major challenges to the function and decision-making therefore the Company intends to add potential Directors on Board.

The financial statement presented in this report is of Co-optrade

 

The Company maintains its accounting records on a cash basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

 

The financial statement presents the Balance Sheet, Statements of Operations, Shareholders' Deficit and Cash Flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The accompanying audited financial statement has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the cash method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of  $ 9,149.65 as of February 28, 2019. The Company will be dependent upon the raising

of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its initial operations by issuing common shares. We cannot be certain that capital will be provided when it is required.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

 

Lease Commitments

 

Co-optrade Inc. has no lease commitments.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 on August 28,2017. Under this FASB, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

 

The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard including cash, convertible notes payable, accrued expenses, promissory notes payable, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company's cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Cash reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair market value due to their short-term nature.

 

The Company has had no transfers between levels of its assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2017.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has no income tax obligations as of September 30, 2017, due to the Company having no profits from operations in its first fiscal period.

Stock Based Compensation

 

In December of 2004, the FASB issued a standard which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments. For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards,

compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed methodology and amounts. Prior periods presented are not required to be restated. We adopted the standard as of inception. The Company has not issued any stock options to its Board of Directors and officers as compensation for their services. If options are granted, they will be accounted for at a fair value as required by the FASB ASC 718.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company adopted the standard issued by the FASB, which requires presentation of basic earnings or loss per share and diluted earnings or loss per share. Basic income (loss) per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") are similarly calculated using the treasury stock method except that the denominator is increased to reflect the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive securities at the end of the applicable period were exercised. During the period from Inception to February 28, 2019, as the Company reported a net loss from operations, the diluted shares outstanding excludes the effective of dilutive securities due to the anti-dilutive effect. Because the Company did not have any potentially dilutive securities, there was no difference between the basic and diluted net loss per share.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting

periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – CAPITAL STOCK

 

The Company's authorized capital is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.

 

As February 28, 2019, the Company awarded 8,100,000 founder’s shares for service rendered payment . As a result, the Company recorded the $0 value compensation to share subscriptions payable as founder shares compensation.

 

We have accounted for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards codification (ASC) 718-10-55. (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement 123 (R), Share-based payment.) This statement requires us to record any expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation. Determining fair value requires input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

 

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Common Stock

 

As February 28, 2019, the Company awarded 8,100,000 founder’s shares for service rendered payment compensation. As a result, the Company recorded the $0 value compensation to share subscriptions payable as founder shares compensation.  

As of February 28, 2019, the Company has not granted any stock options or issued any common shares.

 

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded due to the Company having no profits from operations in its first fiscal period. The actual income tax provisions do not differ from the expected amounts, which is none.
