ECO SCIENCE SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and nature of business

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 8, 2009 under the name Pristine Solutions, Inc. On January 8, 2014, the Company changed its name from Pristine Solutions, Inc. to Eco Science Solutions, Inc.  

During fiscal 2016 the Company changed its business focus and on January 1, 2016, the Company entered into a technology licensing and marketing support agreement with Separation Degrees – One, Inc. ("SDOI") that was focused on the development, licensing and management of on-going technology solutions and marketing campaigns for ESSI's initiatives. Additionally, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with SDOI wherein the Company acquired a proprietary messaging and customer relationship management software platform from SDOI.

On January 11, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized the creation of 1,000 shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock. The holder of the shares of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock has the right to vote those shares of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock regarding any matter or action that is required to be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval. The vote of each share of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock is equal to and counted as 10 times the votes of all of the shares of the Company's (i) common stock, and (ii) other voting preferred stock issued and outstanding on the date of each and every vote or consent of the shareholders of the Company regarding each and every matter submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval. The Agreement with SDOI was revised so that SDOI received 500,000 shares of Common Stock rather than Preferred Shares; no Preferred Shares were issued to SDOI.  In addition to the issuance of the 500,000 shares of common stock as consideration for the Asset Purchase Agreement with SDOI, the Company agreed further to settle all invoices received for services rendered by SDOI, as well as advertising fees incurred, by way of issuance of common stock at a 30% discount to market as S-8 shares.

On January 10, 2017, the Company entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement with SDOI wherein the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 common shares to SDOI (or its designee) in exchange for the cancellation of the $1,920,424 worth of remaining outstanding invoices and fees owed to SDOI.

On June 21, 2017, Eco Science Solutions, Inc. (ESSI) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA") with the shareholders of Ga-Du Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Ga-Du", "Sellers"), wherein, ESSI agreed to purchase, and Sellers agreed to sell 100% of the shares of capital stock of Ga-Du to ESSI, in exchange for fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of ESSI Common Stock, to be issued to Sellers, pursuant to the SPA.  In addition, the SPA called for the issuance of an additional 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the Ga-Du Founders when they brought a bank equity interest to the Company.  Subsequently, effective July 30, 2017 the Company and the stockholders of Ga-Du entered into certain amendments to the original June 21, 2017, SPA cancelling the term regarding the issuance of an additional 15,000,000 Shares.

Additionally, on September 22, 2017, and in order to avoid diluting the holdings of existing ESSI Shareholders, Jeffery and Don Taylor, CEO and CFO of ESSI, agreed to return 8,000,000 Shares each of ESSI's Common Stock of their own to the Company for cancellation, effective September 22, 2017.

Following the closing of the SPA, Ga-Du is a wholly owned subsidiary of ESSI, bringing to ESSI a Financial Services Platform, and Inventory Control and Advisory Software Platforms, thus completing the ESSI product suite to benefit both consumer and professional customers of the Company.

On July 26, 2017, all of the Shares of an Uruguayan entity, Holway Sociedad Anonima ("Holway", "Holway SA") were purchased by certain former shareholders of Ga-Du who thereafter became the sole shareholders of Holway.  Holway's objective is to perform business in the Free-trade zone in Uruguay in accordance with the laws of the Free-trade zone; in every kind of industrial, commercial or other activity relating to its business of providing financial services.  On September 19, 2017, the Holway shareholders transferred all of their shares of Holway to Ga- Du, and will hereafter conduct business pursuant to the Holway Uruguayan registration as Ga-Du; Doing Business As (DBA).

Organization and nature of business (cont'd)

Additionally, Holway has applied for a financial advisory services charter to perform its financial services through Ga-Du, and under the regulatory laws of the Uruguayan Central Bank. As of the date of this report, the process to secure the financial advisory charter remains in suspense until such time as ESSI secures additional financing.

Once the application for the Financial Advisory Services Charter is approved, Ga-Du, through its Financial Advisory Services Charter, and in conjunction with the Alliance Financial Network system, intends to provide foreign jurisdictions with legalized cannabis, a banking mechanism to conduct business relative to the cannabis industry, and within the laws governing cannabis industry in those foreign jurisdictions doing business with the United States, and in compliance with US and foreign laws relative to the cannabis industry.

Furthermore, Ga-Du will work closely with representatives of the South American MasterCard/Visa Card services, allowing Ga-Du to process merchant services through the Uruguayan entity, Holway, for transactions relative to the Cannabis industry, in countries and states where Cannabis is legalized. Presently the Company is awaiting approval of the charter prior to conducting operations under this entity.

Further, on September 22, 2017, Ga-Du Corporation entered into an Assignment Agreement with G&L Enterprises, wherein G&L Enterprises assigned, to Ga-Du Corporation, all of its rights, interest in, and obligations under a License and Master Marketing Agreement (LMMA) it entered into with Alliance Financial Network, Inc. ("AFN", "Alliance") on September 6, 2017.

On March 5, 2018, an Addendum to the LMMA was entered into and agreed upon, wherein the LMMA was amended to reflect the right of Ga-Du to receive revenue from Colorado businesses; the LMMA originally excluded existing Colorado business as any revenue generating businesses. In addition the revenue split under the LMMA was also revised.  Among other things, in exchange for the split, where under Ga-Du is to receive 50% of all revenues, Ga-Du agreed to pay to Alliance $405,000 in two tranches, for operational expenses and business development in the State of Colorado as well as in other states. As a result, Ga-Du is entitled to receive 10% of all of Alliance's net revenue earned from Colorado revenues from October 15, 2017 forward.

A final payment to Alliance was made on April 24, 2018, as agreed upon in the Addendum to the LMMA, making the Addendum Effective.  As part of the agreed final payment $170,000 was advanced in cash by Mr. Lewis, the CEO of Ga-Du, as a loan to the Company, and Mr. Rountree, our COO, assumed the remaining $35,000 in the form of a debt assignment between a third party and Alliance.  As a result, the Company was notified of its first revenues under the LMMA totaling $28,431 (10% of net revenue generated by Colorado Business), as at October 31, 2018.  The Company intends to record revenues as of the date funds are received into our accounts.  Subsequent to the period ended October 30, 2018, the Company and Alliance determined the $35K in amounts payable to a third party assumed by Mr. Rountree would be paid in cash, and the note assignment canceled. During July and August 2018, Mr. Rountree remitted the final $35,000 in payments for the benefit of Alliance, which amount has been included in related party payables.

With the acquisition of Ga-Du, ESSI's product suite represent is now an enclosed ecosystem for business location, localized communications between consumers and business operators, on-topic social networking, inventory management / selection, payment facilitation and delivery arrangement. The Company's holistic commerce and content platform enables health, wellness and alternative medicine enthusiasts to easily locate, access, and connect with others to facilitate the research of and purchasing of eco-science friendly products.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1: DESCRIPTOIN OF BUISNESS AND BASIC OF PRESENTATION (cont'd)

Financial Statements Presented

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 210 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Operating results for the nine months ended October 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2019.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2018.

Principals of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eco Science Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ga-Du Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future.  As at October 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $8,829,604 and an accumulated deficit of $70,262,032. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. 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.

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of October 31, 2018, and January 31, 2018, respectively, the Company had cash, but no cash equivalents. 

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.

Technology, licensing rights and software (Intangible assets)
 
Technology, licensing rights and software are recorded at cost and capitalized and are reviewed for impairment at a minimum of once per year or whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest a need for evaluation.

Advertising and Marketing Costs   
 
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and were $21,189 during the three months ended October 31, 2018 and $337,056 in the same period ended October 31, 2017. Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and were $919,952 during the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and $1,441,396 in the same period ended October 31, 2017. Advertising and marketing costs include ad placement and click through programs placed on a wide network of mediums acquired from advertising consolidators including Outbrain, MGID, Rev Content, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Google and others for the full scope of the Company's brands including the Herbo and Fitrix apps for all platforms, GooglePlay, iOS, Android, as well as the corporate e-commence site and all the other underlying supporting social media platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Further the Company incurs other advertising expense in respect to its attendance at various venues to promote our business objectives.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements and contracts 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.

As of October 31, 2018, and 2017, no revenue has been recognized, and there was no impact on the Company's financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 during the most recent fiscal year end.

While the Company has entered into an LMMA under which we are entitled to fee-based revenue on a profit-sharing basis, the Company has determined that when recording its revenue, the monthly income is not clearly determinable until the fees are paid to the Company by AFN.  As at October 31, 2018 fees payable by AFN for the period October 2017 through October 2018 as reconciled in commission reports received from AFN have not been received by the Company. Because of this, the Company has determined to record its revenue in respect to the LMMA on the cash basis.  In the future, should the fee structure and reporting process become more easily determinable, the recognition method may change. Pursuant to AFN's revenue reports, the amount payable to Ga-Du Corporation is $28,431 (10% of net revenue generated by Colorado Business) at October 31, 2018. The Company will record the revenue once we receive the proceeds.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

Cost of Revenue
 
Costs of revenue consist of the direct expenses incurred to generate revenue. Such costs are recorded as incurred. Our cost of revenue will consist consists primarily of fees associated with the operation of our social media venues and fulfillment of specific customer advertising campaigns related to our downloadable apps. In the case of revenue earned by our wholly owned subsidiary, proceeds allocated to our revenue interest are net of associated costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, 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. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Convertible Debt and Beneficial Conversion Features
 
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
 
Stock Settled Debt
 
In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company's common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market.  In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature.  As of October 31, 2018, and January 31, 2018, the Company had recorded within Convertible Notes, net of discount, the amount of $1,407,781 and $248,432 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes (see Note 8).

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share.  ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

We continue to build both consumer and enterprise technology, consumer package goods, invest in research & development and advertising to consumer and professional traffic for both our apps and web properties, as well as the marketing of our financial services partnership through AFN. Once we have gained a large enough audience the Company will begin to aggressively monetize its audience relationships through: 1) paid advertisements from business seeking exposure to users the Herbo services; 2) enterprise license agreements with professional customers; 3) sales of products targeting general health and wellness and alternative medicines and 4) successful marketing of our financial services to an expanded number of clients across various states in the US through our AFN partnership. Our recent acquisition of Ga-Du and the aforementioned marketing agreement with AFN allows us to offer certain financial and marketing services to businesses and individuals, including the Cannabis Industry, on a programmatic or membership basis (the "Financial Program"), from which AFN and Ga-Du derive fees and income from enrolling companies in the Financial Program and providing a range of services to our clients (the "Members") according to the AFN pricing schedule (the "Fees").  Under our agreements, Ga-Du was granted the exclusive right to undertake marketing responsibilities of Alliance's Financial Services to businesses in the Cannabis industry, initially in Michigan, Oregon and Washington, and subsequently, Colorado, with plans to extend throughout the United States, provided that it shall not extend to any states where Cannabis sales have not been legalized by that state's laws.  Ga-Du is credited with all Cannabis related members and revenues that use AFN's financial and marketing services, regardless of the source of revenue, or the party that enrolled the customer that generated the revenues, that are generated within any territory in which Ga-Du has commenced business.

Revenue

During the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has not generated any revenues. While we did enter into amendments to certain licensing and marketing agreements during the prior periods which provide for fee-based income calculated retroactively to October 2017, as at October 31, 2018, the Company had not yet received these amounts from our marketing partner. Pursuant to AFN's revenue reports the amount payable to Ga-Du Corporation is $28,431 (10% of net revenue generated by Colorado Business) as at October 31, 2018. The Company will record the revenue once we receive the proceeds.

Cost of Revenue
 
Costs of revenue consist of the direct expenses incurred to generate revenue. Such costs are recorded as incurred. Our cost of revenue will consist consists primarily of fees associated with the operation of our social media venues and fulfillment of specific customer advertising campaigns related to our downloadable apps. In the case of revenue earned by our wholly owned subsidiary, proceeds allocated to our revenue interest are net of associated costs.

General and administrative expenses, exclusive of $21,189 (2017 - $337,056) expended on advertising and marketing in the three-month period ended October 31, 2018 totaling $439,879 ($664,048 - 2017), include a total of $301,500 for management and consulting fees as compared to $376,575 in the comparative three months ended October 31, 2017.  This decrease to management fees is a direct result of a reduction in consulting fees during the current three-month period due to a reduction in monthly operations and the departure of certain consultants. Further, legal, accounting and audit fees incurred in the three-month period ended October 31, 2018 increased substantially totaling $113,019, as compared to $92,759 in the prior comparative period.   This increase is a direct result of certain legal actions to which the Company is responding in the current period.  The Company expended a total of $0 on research, development and promotion in the current three months as compared to $81,200 in the prior comparative three-month period.  The Company has shifted its R&D expenditures to focus on certain software development costs which will be capitalized until the development is complete.  Office supplies and other general expenses reflect a substantive decrease period over period from $112,220 (2017) to $24,066 in the current three-month period as the Company terminated one of its operating locations.

General and administrative expenses, exclusive of $919,952 (2017 – 1,441,396) expended on advertising and marketing in the nine-month period ended October 31, 2018 totaling $2,416,765 ($20,548,196 - 2017), include a total of $990,500 for management and consulting fees as compared to $1,002,108 in the comparative nine months ended October 31, 2017.  The slight increase to management fees is a direct result of additional consulting fees during the current nine-month period relative to our month to month operations. Further, legal, accounting and audit fees incurred in the nine-month period ended October 31, 2018 increased substantially totaling $545,692, as compared to only $252,085 in the prior comparative period.   This increase is a direct result of certain legal actions to which the Company is responding in the current period.  The Company expended a total of $657,948 on research, development and promotion in the current nine months as compared to $645,085 in the prior comparative nine-month period.  The Company has shifted its R&D expenditures during the current period to focus on certain software development costs which will be capitalized until the development is complete.  Office supplies and other general expenses reflect a slight decrease period over period from $246,585 (2017) to $218,742 in the current nine-month period as the Company closed one of its operating locations in the current period.  During the prior nine-month period ended October 31, 2017, concurrent with the acquisition of Ga-Du the Company recorded $18,400,000 as impairment of goodwill with no similar expense in the current nine months ended October 31, 2018.

Plan of Operation

The Company changed the focus of its business at the close of fiscal 2016 to operate in the ecofriendly technology sector using social media sites and offering apps to generate advertising revenues and download fees. During fiscal 2017 the Company laid the groundwork for income generation from these services by investing in ongoing development of its applications, websites and visibility in both the local and global market.  The Company has invested heavily in advertising and research and development to allow its applications and ecommerce website visibility on a global stage. During fiscal 2018 we further added to our business portfolio with the acquisition of Ga-Du corporation and the entry into a licensing and marketing agreement that should see the Company generating revenues in fiscal 2019.  The Company's need for ongoing capital by way of loans, sale of equity and/or convertible notes is expected to continue during the current fiscal year until we can establish substantive revenues from operations. We have also had to rely heavily on loans from related parties in our most recently completed fiscal year as we work to have our shares returned for quotation to the OTCMarkets QB. There are no assurances additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or that this equity line will be available to us when needed.

Future funding could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Any future funding might require the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future.  As at October 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $8,829,604 and an accumulated deficit of $70,262,032. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2018, the Company had total current assets of $153,097, and total current liabilities of $8,982,701 as compared to $147,332 in current assets and $4,845,064 in total current liabilities at the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018. The Company has limited financial resources available outside loans from its officers and directors and funds it has obtained through use of convertible debt instruments and loans with third parties.  While the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement to sell up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock during fiscal 2018, we have been unable to obtain any funding under this agreement in the most recently completed fiscal year and to date.  It is unlikely we will ever realize proceeds from this facility. There can be no guarantee the Company will receive proceeds from loans, related party advances or convertible notes sufficient to meet its ongoing operational overheads.  While we have commenced generating modest revenue subsequent to the fiscal year end to offset some of our existing operating expenditures, it is not presently sufficient to meet our operational shortfalls.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. As noted, additional working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private placements, additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, directors or stockholders), or from other available funding sources at market rates of interest, or a combination of these. The ability to raise necessary financing will depend on many factors, including the nature and prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market conditions prevailing at the time financing is sought. During the most recently completed fiscal year management has obtained additional funding with success, however there is no guarantee we will be able to continue to obtain financing if and when required. The current economic downturn may make it difficult to find new capital sources for the Company should they be required.

Cash flows from operating activities

During the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 the Company used $2,034,104 and $2,405,554 of cash for operating activities respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to a substantive decrease in related party payables offset by the amortization of debt discount in respect to certain convertible notes in the current period of $371,969, stock-based compensation of 90,000 and research and development costs of $250,000 paid by a third party directly with no comparable activities during the prior nine-month period.   Accounts payable also increased in the current nine-month period. Finally, the Company recorded an increase to prepaid expenses of $36,983 in fiscal 2017 compared to a decrease of $4,097 in the current nine months ended October 31, 2018.

Cash flows from investing activities

During the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company expended $nil and $13,266 to purchase equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities

During the nine months ended October 31, 2018 the Company received proceeds from notes payable totaling $1,731,232 as compared to $1,542,500 in the prior nine-month period ended October 31, 2017.  Further proceeds from related party notes totaled $303,734 in the current nine months as compared to $633,195 in the prior nine months.   

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on related party and third-party loans and equity sales of our common shares and/or shares for services rendered in order to continue to fund our business operations in the event of ongoing operational shortfalls. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any of additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our research and development activities.

There have been no material changes to these policies during the nine months ended October 31, 2018.  Refer to Note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein.
