NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. Words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "may," and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the sections of this annual report titled "Risk Factors", "Business" and "Management ' s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations " , as well as the following:
·
general economic conditions, because they may affect our ability to raise money;
·
our ability to raise enough money to continue our operations;
·
changes in regulatory requirements that adversely affect our business; and
·
other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as required by applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this annual report. You should refer to and carefully review the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated on August 4, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name "SOS Link Corporation". On April 15, 2011, we changed our place of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia, Canada and concurrently changed our name to "Venza Gold Corp.". The change from Nevada to British Columbia was approved by our shareholders on April 14, 2011. On January 6, 2014, we changed our name to "CoreComm Solutions Inc." and on February 11, 2015, we changed our name to "Vgrab Communications Inc." to reflect our current business.
On February 10, 2015, we completed an acquisition of the Vgrab software application (the "Vgrab Application") pursuant to the terms of a software purchase agreement dated January 8, 2015 (the "Software Purchase Agreement") between us and Hampshire Capital Limited ("Hampshire"). The Vgrab Application is a free mobile voucher application developed for smartphones using the Android and Apple iOS operating systems and allows users to redeem vouchers on their smartphones at a number of retailers and merchants.
On June 24, 2015, we formed a subsidiary, Vgrab International Ltd., (the "Subsidiary", or "Vgrab International") under the Labuan Companies Act 1990 in Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia. The main focus of the Subsidiary is to continue development of the Vgrab Application and start its market penetration in Southeast Asia.
On July 12, 2015, our Subsidiary entered into a service agreement (the "Service Agreement") with Hampshire Infotech SDN BHD, for the development of Vgrab website and application, as well as any additional programming, design, and maintenance services required to bring the Vgrab to market. The Service Agreement is for a term of one year, and may be automatically renewed for additional one-year term, unless otherwise agreed by both parties. Pursuant to the Service Agreement, the Subsidiary agreed to pay Hampshire Infotech $30,000 per month for their services.
-1-
Acquisition of Vgrab
On January 8, 2015, we entered into a software purchase agreement with Hampshire Capital Limited ("Hampshire") whereby Hampshire has agreed to sell us the Vgrab Application. On February 10, 2015, in consideration of the Vgrab Application, we issued to Hampshire 22,500,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Hampshire represented that it was not a resident of the United States and was otherwise not a "U.S. Person" as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S of the Act.
Business of Vgrab Communications
Our business involves the development of mobile applications for merchant and consumer use. We have two different types of mobile applications, an application designed for consumers (the "Vgrab Application") and an application designed for merchants (the "Vgrab Merchant Application"). We also have an online platform that we are developing to sell online goods (the "Vmore Platform"). In addition, we provide marketing services to merchants including advertising on our website and in our newsletters.
The Vgrab Application: The Vgrab Application is a free mobile voucher application developed for smartphones using the Android and Apple iOS operating systems and allows users to redeem vouchers on their smartphones at a number of retailers and merchants. Users that download the app and sign up for a free Vgrab account, will be provided with vouchers for discounts and other promotions on certain products and services. Vgrab's users will have access to an array of exclusive products and/or services that will be available for purchase using accumulated Vgrab "points" and/or through various e-commerce payment methods. The available products will be tailored - statistically - to a users buying preferences both in proposed variety and value range.
The Vgrab Merchant Application: The Vgrab Merchant Application is a user-friendly mobile application for merchants who wish to advertise their products and services. We provide a platform which enables them to dynamically create and publish their vouchers for products/services all in one single merchant application. The use of vouchers will allow merchants to gain more publicity through distribution of free vouchers to users of Vgrab Application.
The Vmore Platform: The Vmore Platform is an online shopping website in Malaysia. The website is designed to allow merchants to sell their goods to website visitors. Visitors who sign up for a paid membership will have access to an exclusive selection of goods and services. The platform itself, among other technologies, will incorporate geo-targeted advertising and user data statistical analysis, which will enable us to provide our customers with highly personalized content.
Our applications and the platform will be able to connect both consumer and business in a seamless way bringing significant value and exclusivity. By improving Vgrab technology we will be able to filter information about consumer and merchant browsing behavior. This will allow our customers to create and save electronic shopping lists including available to them vouchers without a need to print or cut coupons. In addition, our cloud sharing technology will be able to deliver to our customers and merchants various information packages.
Our primary markets for our products are currently the United States and Malaysia.
Our Strategy
Our main strategy is the continued development, improvement, innovation and marketing of our Vgrab mobile applications, software and online merchant platforms (collectively, "Vgrab Products"). Once development is finished and refined, we will focus on making Vgrab a destination for consumers to find deals on goods and services. Key elements of our strategy include, but are not limited to:
(1)
enhancing consumer and merchant experience;
(2)
marketing our Vgrab Products;
(3)
global expansion; and
(4)
becoming the first place consumers look for deals on goods and services.
-2-
Our expenditures for the next fiscal year will primarily be associated with the continuous development and testing of our Vgrab Applications and their various elements and functionalities, as well as development and enhancement of the Vmore Platform. For some specific or highly specialized components, including but not limited to statistical analysis, data protection, etc. for the software and its web utilization we may have to seek a top end professional assistance from a third parties both in Malaysia and in US.
We hope to begin our commercial activity in second or third fiscal quarter of 2016 with hopes of reaching a significant number of monthly users toward the end of the year.
Distribution
We will distribute our vouchers to customers primarily through three channels: our mobile platform, our website and email. Our mobile platform consists of mobile apps which we currently offer on iOS and Android devices. We will also provide a website via our Vmore Platform which is available on the world wide web.
Competition
The online marketing and voucher industry is a competitive industry. We do not have a strong position in either the United States or in Malaysia. We also compete with traditional marketing providers and traditional brick and mortar retailers. Our competitors include companies that have substantially greater financial resources, staff and facilities than us. Our failure to obtain and maintain a competitive position within the market could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Government Regulations
We are subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet. Additionally, these laws and regulations may be interpreted differently across domestic and foreign jurisdictions. As a company in a new industry, we are exposed to certain risks that many of these laws may change and are subject to uncertain interpretations. These laws and regulations may involve intellectual property, product liability and consumer protection, distribution, competition, online payment and point of sale services, employee, merchant and customer privacy and data security, taxes or other areas.
Dependence on Major Customers
We do not have major customers.
Research and Development
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, we incurred $4,470,219 on development of Vgrab application, software and online merchant platforms as compared to $1,122 incurred for software development during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.
Of $4,470,219 mentioned above, $166,362 was associated with the continued development of the Vgrab Application and the Vgrab.com website and online merchant platforms and $4,303,857 was associated with the value of 22,500,000 shares of our common stock we issued to Hampshire as consideration for the Vgrab Application.
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees
We currently have no employees other than our executive officers.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
IN ADDITION TO THE FACTORS DISCUSSED ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT, THE FOLLOWING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL ALSO MAY IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease our operations and if we do not obtain sufficient financing, our business will fail.
We were incorporated on August 4, 2010, and have been involved primarily in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On December 2, 2013, we entered into a license agreement to market the Correlation Technology to English and Spanish education users. However, the license agreement was terminated in April 2014 due to lack of funds. On January 8, 2015, we entered into the Software Purchase Agreement with Hampshire Capital Ltd., to develop and market Vgrab Application to world-wide market; the transaction was completed on February 10, 2015.
Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow from our new operations is dependent upon: (i) our ability to obtain and retain customers, (ii) attract and retain merchants who wish to offer deals through our Vgrab Application, (iii) react to challenges from existing and new competitors; and (iv) increase the awareness of our brand domestically and internationally.
In order to continue our operations we will be required to raise additional capital through financing, which would be subject to a number of factors, including market fluctuations, customer confidence, and general economic condition. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. Since our inception, we have used our common shares to raise money for our operations. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation.
Because we are a development stage company, our business has a high risk of failure.
We are a development stage company that has incurred net losses since inception, we have not attained profitable operations and we are dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to carry out our business activities. The success of our business operations will depend upon our ability to obtain further financing to complete our planned development and marketing programs and to attain profitable operations. Development stage companies encounter difficulties in generating revenue from services that are provided based on the applications installed on smart phones, and the risk of failure of these companies is high. If we are not able to complete a successful development and marketing programs and attain sustainable profitable operations, then our business will fail.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; as a result we could have difficulty finding additional financing.
Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have not generated any revenue from our main operations since inception and have accumulated losses. As a result, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue our operations depends on our ability to complete equity or debt financings or generate profitable operations. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Because our largest shareholder, Hampshire Capital Limited ("Hampshire") controls over 70% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by Hampshire are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders.
Hampshire Capital Limited controls over 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. In accordance with our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, Hampshire is able to control who is elected to our board of directors and thus could act, or could have the power to act, as our management. The interests of Hampshire may not be, at all times, the same as those of other shareholders.
-4-
Hampshire has the ability to significantly influence the outcome of most corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the merger of our company with or into another company, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and amendments to our Articles of Incorporation. This concentration of ownership with Hampshire may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Vgrab which may be disadvantageous to minority shareholders.
We face intense competition.
Our business is evolving and intensely competitive, and is subject to changing technology, shifting user needs, and frequent introductions of new products and services.
We expect competition in e-commerce generally, and group buying in particular, to continue to increase. Our current and potential competitors range from large and established companies to emerging start-ups. Established companies have longer operating histories and more established relationships with customers and users, and they can use their experience and resources against us in a variety of competitive ways, including acquisitions, investing aggressively in research and development, and competing aggressively for advertisers and websites.
If our competitors are more successful than we are in developing compelling products or in attracting and retaining users, advertisers, and content providers, our potential for generating revenues and growth rates could decline.
Our success is dependent upon our ability to provide a superior mobile experience for our customers and merchants.
In order to continue to grow our mobile transactions, it is critical that our application works well with a range of mobile technologies, systems, networks and standards. Our business may be adversely affected if our customers choose not to access our offerings on their mobile devices, or use mobile devices that do not offer access to our mobile applications. Similarly, our business may suffer if our merchants choose not to advertise through our application.
We may be subject to claims that we violated intellectual property rights of others, which claims are extremely costly to defend and could require us to pay significant damages and limit our ability to operate.
Companies in the Internet and technology industries, and other patent and trademark holders seeking to profit from royalties in connection with grants of licenses, own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We acquired the Vgrab Application from an original developer, however, there may be intellectual property rights held by others, including patents, copyrighted works and/or trademarks, which cover significant aspects of our technology. Any intellectual property claim against us, regardless of merit, could be time consuming and expensive to settle or litigate and could divert management's attention and other resources. These claims also could subject us to significant liability for damages and could result in our having to stop using technology or content found to be in violation of another party's rights. We might be required or may opt to seek a license for rights to intellectual property held by others, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if a license is available, we could be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase our operating expenses. We may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, or content, which could require significant effort and expense and make us less competitive in the relevant market. Any of these results could harm our business and financial performance.
We have a limited number of products.
We are reliant on the marketing and sale of our Vgrab Application. If it does not achieve sufficient market acceptance, it will be difficult for us to achieve consistent profitability.
-5-
If our software is defective, it will adversely affect our business.
Our Vgrab Application may contain undetected errors, defects or bugs. Although we have not suffered significant harm from any errors, defects or bugs to date, we may discover significant errors, defects or bugs in the future that we may not be able to correct or correct in a timely manner. It is possible that errors, defects or bugs will be found in our existing or future software products and related services with the possible results of delays in, or loss of market acceptance of, our products and services, diversion of our resources, injury to our reputation, increased service and warranty expenses and payment of damages.
We have limited brand awareness and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve brand awareness.
We have achieved limited brand awareness with respect to our Vgrab Application. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve brand awareness. In addition, we must develop a successful market for our products in order to complete sales. If we are not able to develop successful markets for our products, then such failure will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We sometimes hold a significant portion of our cash in United States dollars, which could weaken our purchasing power in other currencies and limit our ability to conduct our development programs.
Currency fluctuations could affect the costs of our operations and affect our operating results and cash flows. The appreciation of Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar can increase the costs of our operations.
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan and our business will fail.
Our success will largely depend on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel with experience in marketing, programming, data architecture and design. These individuals may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract the staff we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Currently, we have not hired any key personnel. Our failure to hire key personnel when needed could have a significant negative effect on our business.
The recently enacted JOBS Act will allow us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC. We cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to "emerging growth companies" will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are and we will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer" (with at least $700 million in public float) under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" as described in further detail in the risk factors below. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on some or all of 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. If we avail ourselves of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements, as is currently our plan, our reduced disclosure may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate us and may result in less investor confidence.
Our election not to opt out of JOBS Act extended accounting transition period may not make its financial statements easily comparable to other companies.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act, 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) or the SEC.
-6-
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, our company, as an "emerging growth company", can adopt the standard for the private company. This may make comparison of our financial statements with any other public company which is not either an "emerging growth company" nor an "emerging growth company" which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible, as possible different or revised standards may be used.
The JOBS Act will also allow our company to postpone the date by which it 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 JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on "emerging growth companies". We meet the definition of an "emerging growth company" and so long as we qualify as an "emerging growth company," we 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 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of Chief Executive Officers;
·
be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Exchange Act, as amended and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and
·
be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor ' s report on the financial statements.
We intend to take advantage of all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that are available to the Company so long as we qualify 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)(1) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that our 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 we qualify 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 we qualify 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, which would otherwise have been required to be provided in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate us. As a result, investor confidence in our company and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
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 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".
-7-
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; are not required to conduct say-on-pay and frequency votes until annual meetings occurring on or after January 21, 2013; 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 the Company's results of operations and financial prospects.
Because our directors are not independent they can make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to other common shareholders.
Our shares of common stock are listed on OTC Markets inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. For the purpose of determining director independence, we have adopted the independence requirements of Canadian National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110") as we are an OTC reporting issuer in the province of British Columbia. NI 52-110 recommends that the Board of Directors of a public company be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors. An "independent" director is a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. A material relationship is a relationship, which could, in the view of the Board of Directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment. None of our current directors can be considered independent. Nelson Da Silva is not an independent director because of his prior position as CEO, CFO and President. Jacek (Jack) Skurtys is not an independent director because of his current position as CEO, CFO and President.
We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings to develop, carry on, and expand our business.
"Penny stock" rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult, and severely limit its marketability and liquidity.
Because our securities are considered a penny stock, shareholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their shares. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the trading price of our common shares is less than $5.00 per share, the common shares will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1)
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
2)
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
3)
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
4)
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
5)
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
6)

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such shares; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our shares.

Revenue
During the years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 we did not have any revenue generating operations. We are presently a development stage company engaged in a software application development, marketing and distribution. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate enough cash flow from our operations to support our ongoing operations.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses for the years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 consisted of the following:

Our operating expenses increased by $4,470,376, or 3,314%, from $134,897 for the year ended October 31, 2014 to $4,605,273 for the year ended October 31, 2015.
-11-
The most significant changes in operating expenses included the following items:
·
During the year ended October 31, 2015, we recorded $4,470,219 in software development costs, of which $4,303,857 were associated with the value of 22,500,000 shares of our common stock we issued to Hampshire as consideration for the Vgrab Application, with remaining $166,362 associated with the continued development of the Vgrab Applications, the Vmore Platform, and the Vgrab.com website.
·
Our consulting fees increased by 201% from $6,762 we incurred during the year ended October 31, 2014 to $20,369 we incurred during the year ended October 31, 2015. This increase was associated with our change in the business direction following the acquisition of the Vgrab Application.
·
Our regulatory and filing fees increased by 88% from $13,794 we incurred during the year ended October 31, 2014 to $25,875 we incurred during the year ended October 31, 2015. This increase was associated in part by regulatory fees we paid for incorporation of our Subsidiary in Labuan, and in part by increased listing requirements of OTC Marketplace.
·
Our management and legal fees, as well as our office expenses decreased by $15,511, $10,866 and $2,957, respectively. Our administrative fees increased by 14% from $52,728 we incurred during the year ended October 31, 2014 to $60,270 we incurred during the year ended October 31, 2015. These changes resulted from the restructuring of our current operations and the shift of our current business activities to the development of the Vgrab Application to facilitate our new business direction and future growth.
Other Items
With the acquisition of the Vgrab Application we have terminated our property acquisition and exploration activities. Since we will not be able to recover the carrying value of our OS Gold Property, we wrote off $11,697 in acquisition costs associated with this property. Other items also contain $2,573 in mineral exploration expenses associated with the preparation of the geological report on our OS Gold Property, which was required to keep the property in good standing and $485 in exploration tax credit.
Translation to Reporting Currency
Translation to reporting currency results from the difference between our functional currency, being the Canadian dollar, and reporting currency, being the United States dollar, and is caused by fluctuation in foreign exchange between the two currencies as well as different accounting treatment between various financial instruments.
Liquidity
GOING CONCERN
The audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not generated any revenues from operations since inception, have never paid any dividends and are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders and management, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Based upon our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. At October 31, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $281,989 and accumulated losses of $5,253,631 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future. The consolidated financial statements included with this Annual Report on Form 10-K do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Therefore, we may be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.

| (111,265) |
Working capital deficit | $ | (281,989) | $ | (89,523) |
During the year ended October 31, 2015, our working capital deficit increased by $192,466, from $89,523 at October 31, 2014 to $281,989 at October 31, 2015. The increase in working capital deficit was primarily related to the increase in accounts payable and amounts due to related parties for the development of our Vgrab Application.

Effect of foreign currency exchange on cash |
| (3,553) |

Net increase (decrease) in cash | $ | (17,761) | $ | 17,246 |
Net cash used in operating activities. During the year ended October 31, 2015, we used $114,208 to support our operating activities. This cash was used to cover our cash operating expenses of $303,504 to increase our GST recoverable and prepaid expenses by $808, and $1,875, respectively, and to reduce our accrued liabilities by $1,768. These uses of cash were offset by increases in the accounts payable and amounts due to related parties of $13,747 and 180,000, respectively.
During the year ended October 31, 2014, we used $93,744 to support our operating activities. This cash was used to cover our operating loss of $133,286. The cash used in operations was offset by increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $17,796 and $19,988, respectively, increases in the amounts due to related parties of $28 and a $1,730 decrease in GST recoverable.
Non-cash operating activities . Our net loss was affected by a write-off of the OS Gold Property totaling $11,697, and the fair value of 22,500,000 shares of our common stock we issued to Hampshire pursuant to our software purchase agreement to acquire Vgrab Application, which we recorded as part of the software development costs. These transactions did not have any impact on the cash we used in our operations.
We did not have any non-cash operating transactions during the year ended October 31, 2014.
Net cash provided by financing activities . On January 8, 2015, we issued 500,000 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $100,000 pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The subscriber represented that the company was not a "U.S. Person" as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Act.
During the year ended October 31, 2014, we issued 890,000 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $107,375 pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The subscribers represented that they were not "U.S. Persons" as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Act. We paid a finder, who was not a U.S. Person, a finder's fee totaling $3,000.
Capital Resources
Our ability to continue the development and marketing of the Vgrab Applications and Vmore Platform is subject to our ability to obtain the necessary funding. We expect to raise funds through sales of our debt or equity securities. We have no committed sources of capital. If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to curtail, or even to cease, our operations.
-13-
As of October 31, 2015, we had cash on hand of $3,751 and working capital deficit of $281,989, which raises substantial doubt about our continuation as a going concern. We plan to mitigate our losses in future years by controlling our operating expenses and actively seeking new distribution channels for our Vgrab Applications. We cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in generating additional capital to support our development. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Contingencies and Commitments
We had no contingencies at October 31, 2015.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an "emerging growth company," we may, under Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We may take advantage of this extended transition period until the first to occur of the date that we (i) are no longer an "emerging growth company" or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of this extended transition period. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our consolidated financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date that we are no longer an "emerging growth company," affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the exemption provided by Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B), or upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which we will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2015. The following accounting policies have been determined by our management to be the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation:
Principles of Consolidation
The Company's audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Subsidiary. On consolidation, the Company eliminates all intercompany balances and transactions.
Internal-Use Software
The Company incurs costs related to the development of its Vgrab Applications and Vgrab.com website. Costs incurred in the planning and evaluation stage of internally-developed software and website, as well as development costs where economic benefit cannot be readily determined, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred and accumulated during the development stage, where economic benefit of the software can be readily determined, are capitalized and included as part of Intangible assets on the balance sheets. Additional improvements to the web site and applications following the initial development stage are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internally-developed software and website development costs will be amortized over their expected economic life using the straight-line method.
-14-
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long lived assets, such as property, equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If circumstances require that a long lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that long-lived asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The Company translates assets and liabilities to US dollars using year-end exchange rates, and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses arising on translation to the reporting currency are included in the other comprehensive income.
The Subsidiary's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.
Foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions or the translation of monetary balances to the functional currency at the year end exchange rate are included in foreign exchange expense.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accruals as well as amounts due to related parties. We believe the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.
At October 31, 2015, we had $3,751 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank, of which $1,088 was insured. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of this financial institution. We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Vgrab Communications Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vgrab Communications Inc. (the "Company") as at October 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at October 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VGRAB COMMUNICATIONS INC.
(FORMERLY CORECOMM SOLUTIONS INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2015
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Vgrab Communications Inc. (formerly Corecomm Solutions Inc.) (the "Company") is a development stage company.
On January 8, 2015, the Company entered into a software purchase agreement with Hampshire Capital Limited (the "Vendor") to acquire the Vgrab Software Application ("Vgrab Application"). Vgrab Application is developed for use with smartphones using the Android and Apple iOS operating systems allowing users to redeem vouchers on their smartphones at a number of retailers and merchants. On February 10, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Vgrab Application (Note 3). As a result of the transaction, the Company changed its principal business focus from the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources to the software development and changed its name to Vgrab Communications Inc. on February 11, 2015.
On June 24, 2015, the Company formed a subsidiary, Vgrab International Ltd., (the "Subsidiary") under the Labuan Companies Act 1990 in Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which contemplate the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. It has not generated operating revenues to date, and has accumulated losses of $5,253,631 since inception. The Company has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financings. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue its operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of its assets, and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon its ability to raise new capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately on generating profitable operations.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with US GAAP, and are presented in United States dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors 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. Significant areas of estimate include the carrying value of the intangible assets and deferred income tax obligations. 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.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations or financial position for any period presented.
F-6
Principles of Consolidation
The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Subsidiary. On consolidation, all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.
Internal-Use Software
The Company incurs costs related to the development of its Vgrab Applications and Vgrab.com website. Costs incurred in the planning and evaluation stage of internally-developed software and website, as well as development costs where economic benefit cannot be readily determined, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred and accumulated during the development stage, where economic benefit of the software can be readily determined, are capitalized and included as part of Intangible assets on the balance sheets. Additional improvements to the web site following the initial development stage are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internally-developed software and website development costs will be amortized over their expected economic life using the straight-line method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property, equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If circumstances require that a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that long-lived asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities includes consideration of non-performance risk including the entity's own credit risk.
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accruals as well as amounts due to related parties. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value based on their short-term nature. The Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The Company translates assets and liabilities to US dollars using year-end exchange rates, and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses arising on translation to the reporting currency are included in the other comprehensive income.
The Subsidiary's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.
Foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions or the translation of monetary balances to the functional currency at the year end exchange rate are included in foreign exchange expense.
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes that date of enactment. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
F-7
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step method. First, it evaluates whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold, and second, it measures that tax position to determine the amount of benefit, if any, to be recognized in the financial statements. The application of this method did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Loss per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted loss per share ("LPS") on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic LPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted LPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted LPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
NOTE 3 - VGRAB APPLICATION ACQUISITION
On January 8, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Hampshire Capital Limited (the "Vendor") to acquire the Vgrab Software Application. The transaction was completed on February 10, 2015. In consideration, the Company issued the Vendor 22,500,000 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $0.19 per share for a total value of $4,275,000, which was expensed as software development costs. The amount expensed was subject to adjustment for foreign exchange and was recorded as $4,303,857 with $28,857 recorded through other comprehensive income (Note 4).

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that, as of October 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B: OTHER INFORMATION
On February 3, 2016, the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") issued a cease trade order against our company for failure to file an Annual Information Form under National Instrument 51-102. The cease trade order will remain in effect until such time as we file the AIF with the BCSC.

17
Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years none of our directors or executive officers was involved in any legal proceedings described in subparagraph (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder require our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to furnish us with copies. To our knowledge, based solely upon review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from the reporting persons, the following persons have, during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, failed to file, on a timely basis, the reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act:
·
Mr. Skurtys, our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, as well as a member of our Board of Directors was appointed as our Officer and Director on February 10, 2015. Mr. Skurtys filed his Form 3 reflecting his status as a director and officer of Vgrab Communications Inc. on February 26, 2015.
·
On February 10, 2015, we issued to Hampshire Capital Ltd, 22,500,000 shares of our common stock, under the terms of the Software Purchase Agreement with Hampshire. As a result, Hampshire became a holder of 74.65% of our issued and outstanding common shares. Hampshire filed its Form 3 reflecting its status as a majority shareholder of Vgrab Communications Inc. on March 20, 2015.
·
Mr. Koay, our Vice President of Marketing was appointed as our Officer on October 26, 2015. Mr. Koay filed his Form 3 reflecting his status as an officer of Vgrab Communications Inc. on November 27, 2015.
Corporate Governance
Our board of directors does not have a compensation committee or a nominating committee. We believe this is appropriate, given the small size of our company and the stage of our development. We have not adopted any procedures by which our security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors and that has not changed during the last fiscal year.
Our audit committee consists of Jacek P. Skurtys, the Company's CEO, CFO, President and a director, and Nelson Da Silva, a director. None of the members of the Company's Board of Directors qualify as an "audit committee financial expert", as defined by Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. We are dependent on financial advice from external financial consulting firm, which we believe is appropriate, given the small size of our company and the stage of our development.
Code of Ethics
We adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our officers and directors which is a "code of ethics" as defined by applicable rules of the SEC. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from a provision of our Code of Ethics to our officers or directors, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Table 8 summarizes all compensation for the 2015 and 2014 fiscal years received by our Chief Executive Officer, our two most highly compensated executive officers who earned more than $100,000 and up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer at the end of the last completed fiscal year (collectively, the "Named Executive Officers").

Note:
(1)
Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).
20
In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of our shares actually outstanding on February 5, 2016. As of February 5, 2016, there were 31,306,661 common shares issued and outstanding.
Changes in Control
Under the terms of our Software Purchase Agreement with Hampshire Capital Limited, on February 10, 2015, we issued 22,500,000 shares of our common stock to Hampshire. As a result, Hampshire became a holder of 74.65% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, resulting in a change of control. Due to additional share issuances subsequent to February 10, 2015 transaction, the Hampshire's stock position was reduced to 73.47%.
We are not aware of any arrangement, which may result in a change in control in the future.
ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Director independence
Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. For the purpose of determining director independence, we have adopted the independence requirements of Canadian National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110") as we are an OTC reporting issuer in the province of British Columbia. NI 52-110 recommends that the Board of Directors of a public company be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors. An "independent" director is a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. A material relationship is a relationship, which could, in the view of the Board of Directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment. Nelson Da Silva is considered an independent director. Aside from shares held by him, he has no ongoing interest or relationship with the Company other than serving as a director. Jack P. Skurtys is not an independent director because of his position as CEO, CFO and President.
As a result of our limited operating history and minimal resources, our management believes that it will have difficulty in attracting independent directors. In addition, we would likely be required to obtain directors and officers insurance coverage in order to attract and retain independent directors. Our management believes that the costs associated with maintaining such insurance is prohibitive at this time.
Transactions with Related Parties
Except as disclosed below, none of the following parties has, during our last two fiscal years, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us, in which the Company is a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the Company's total assets for the last two completed fiscal years:
i.
Any of our directors or officers;
ii.
Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;
iii.
Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding common shares;
iv.
Any of our promoters; and
v.
Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house as such person.
