Subsidiary Business Overview
Wainwright
On June 5, 2007 Planet Halo launched its first wireless broadband network designed for subscription access to the Internet. The second such network was completed in Ventura, California during the 2007-2008 fiscal year. Planet Halo continued to operate and expand the subscriber base until encountering insurmountable competition from disruptive technologies. The wireless business was discontinued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and a transition was made to research and development activities for in-vehicle video recording devices. In January 2013 we sold all of our interest in Planet Halo through a stock redemption agreement wherein a holder ofDecember 9, 2016, Concierge Series B, Voting, Convertible Preferred stock exchanged a portion of those shares foracquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Planet Halo.

Competition
Wainwright faces competition from other commodity fund managers, which include larger, better financed companies that offer products similar to Wainwrights. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and human resources than Wainwright does, as well as greater experience in the discovery and development of products and the commercialization of those products. Our competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products we may commercialize. Wainwright will continue to develop and consider new fund opportunities identified through its research efforts and review of market needs. However, the cost of launching and seeding new funds is dependent upon existing and new capital resources. The ability to successfully launch new funds competing with much larger financial institutions with greater financial and human capital will be challenging.
Regulation
Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries, USCF and USCF Advisers, are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment services industry. USCF is a whollycommodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") and the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act (“CEA”). USCF Advisers is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended and has registered as a CPO under the CEA. ETPs issued or sponsored by USCF are required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933. USCF Advisers advises exchange traded funds and a mutual fund registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Employees
Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries employ approximately 15 persons, a majority of whom are located in Oakland, California. The operating subsidiaries are responsible for the retention of sub-advisers to manage the investments of each managed Funds’ assets in conformity with their respective investment policies if the operating subsidiary does not provide those services directly. Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries may also retain third-parties to provide custody, distribution, fund administration, transfer agency, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for each fund to operate. Wainwright, through its operating subsidiaries, bears all of its own costs associated with providing these advisory services and the expenses of the members of the board of directors of each fund who are affiliated with Wainwright.
Intellectual Property
Wainwright subsidiary USCF owns registered trademarks for USCF and USCF Advisers. The funds USCF is a general partner or sponsor of each have registered trademarks owned by USCF. Additionally, USCF was granted two patents Nos. 7,739,186 and 8,019,675, for systems and methods for an exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracks the price of one or more commodities.
Gourmet Foods
On August 11, 2015, Concierge acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Gourmet Foods, a commercial-scale manufacturer of meat pies under the brand names "Ponsonby Pies" and "Pat's Pantry", located in Tauranga, New Zealand. Gourmet Foods distributes its products through major grocery store chains, convenience stores, small restaurants and gasoline station markets located in New Zealand. The purchase price of $1.75 million was paid in cash. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers.
Products and Customers
Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business.
For the year ended and balance sheet date of June 30, 2017, Gourmet Foods’ largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 18% of Gourmet Foods sales revenues and 26% of Gourmet Foods accounts receivable as compared to 13% and 34% for the prior 11-month period ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The second largest in the grocery industry accounted for approximately 11% of Gourmet Foods sales revenues for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 12% for the 11-month period ended June 30, 2017. This same group accounted for 11% of Gourmet Foods accounts receivable for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 15% for the 11-month period ended June 30, 2016. In the gasoline convenience store market Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand who, for the year ended and balance sheet date of June 30, 2017, accounted for approximately 43% of Gourmet Foods’ gross sales revenues as compared to 45% for the 11-month period ended June 30, 2016. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ accounts receivable. The second largest is made up of a buying consortium of independent service station operators accounting for 10% of gross sales and, as a group, 14% of accounts receivable for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 11% of sales and 14% of accounts receivable, as a group, for the 11-month period ended June 30, 2016. As with the other buying consortium, no single member of the buying group is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ accounts receivable. The third category of independent retailers and cafes accounted for the balance of Gourmet Foods’ gross sales revenue however the group is fragmented and no one customer accounts for a significant portion of revenues or accounts receivable.
Sources and Availability of Materials
Gourmet Foods is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local market place should the need arise. However, the unavailability of or increase in price in any of the ingredients on which Gourmet Foods relies to produce its products could harm its operating results for such period.
Competition
Gourmet Foods faces competition from other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies located in New Zealand and Australia. Competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products Gourmet Foods may commercialize. Larger competitors in New Zealand also enjoy a wider and more entrenched market share making it particularly difficult for us to penetrate certain market segments and even if penetrated, might make it difficult to maintain.
Seasonality
The location of Gourmet Foods in the southern hemisphere provides them with a warm Christmas holiday season and some increased business as customers tend to be traveling and purchase more ready-to-eat foods. The opposing seasons to the northern hemisphere work to offset the corresponding down turn in revenues for our Canadian subsidiary during winter months. Overall, the consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality.
Regulation
In New Zealand our subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, is required to have certain permits from health regulatory agencies and export permits for certain products it chooses to export. Gourmet Foods is also subject to local regulations as are usual and customary for those in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution business.
Intellectual Property
Gourmet Foods, Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are all registered trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd.
Employees
Gourmet Foods employs approximately 45 persons in New Zealand.
Brigadier
On June 2, 2016, Concierge acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Brigadier, a Canadian corporation located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Brigadier sells and installs alarm monitoring and security systems to commercial and residential customers under brand names "Brigadier Security Systems" and "Elite Security" throughout the province of Saskatchewan with offices in Saskatoon and Regina. The purchase price of $1.54 million was paid in cash.
Services, Products and Customers
Brigadier was founded in 1985 and through internal growth and acquisitions the core business of Brigadier began in 1998. Today Brigadier is one of the largest SecurTek dealers in Saskatchewan with offices in both major urban areas of Regina (under the fictitious business name of “Elite Security”) and Saskatoon. Brigadier is also a Honeywell Certified Access Control Distributor, Kantech Global Dealer and UTC Interlogix Security Pro dealer and the largest independent security contractor in the province. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera monitoring, motion detection, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools and public buildings. Brigadier typically sells hardware to customers and a full-time monitoring of the premises. The contract for monitoring the premise is then conveyed to a third-party telecom in exchange for an upfront payment and recurring residuals based on subscriber contracts.
Concierge, through Brigadier, is dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company who purchases the monitoring contracts and provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions available should the need arise. Sales to the largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly residuals, totaled 46% of the total Brigadier revenues for the year ended June 30, 2017, and accounted for approximately 40% of Brigadier's accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30, 2017. There is no comparison data for the prior year as the company was not acquired until June 2016.
Sources and Availability of Materials
Brigadier purchases alarm panels, digital and analog cameras, mounting hardware and accessory items needed to complete security installations from a variety of sources. The manufacture of electronic items such as those sought by Brigadier has expanded to a global scale thus providing Brigadier with a broad choice of suppliers. Brigadier bases its vendor selection on several criteria including: price, availability, shipping costs, quality, suitability for purpose and the technical support of the manufacturer.
Competition
Although it holds a dominant market position in Saskatchewan, Brigadier faces competition from larger, better financed companies that offer similar products and services. In addition, it is anticipated that Brigadier will face increasing competition as disruptive technologies enter the market. However, with respect to the market share we currently enjoy, Brigadier hopes that their core customers will remain loyal and that an opportunity exists to capitalize on the deployment of new technologies. We will continue to strive to capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on quality.
Seasonality
Brigadier, due to its location in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, is far enough north that winter weather has a negative effect on their ability to complete some installations, particularly those involving new construction. For this reason, the period from November through February typically produces less revenue than comparison periods during other seasons of the year.
Employees
Brigadier employs approximately 21 persons in Canada.
Kahnalytics
On May 26, 2015, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Concierge Technologies, Inc.named Kahnalytics was established in the State of California for the purpose of taking on the segment of the business retained in the spinoff of our former subsidiary, Janus Cam. That business is being allowed to atrophy as customer contracts expire and its only operating subsidiary.

Concierge is required into file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the U.S. for Concierge's products.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.PROCEEDINGS
From time to Brookside Investments Ltd against, jointly and severally, our company, Allen E. Kahn, and The Whitehall Companiestime, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising mainly from the amount of $135,000 plus interest and legal fees. Concierge did not defend against the complaint by Brookside, which alleged that Brookside was entitled to a refundordinary course of its investment asbusiness. In management’s opinion, the legal proceedings are not expected to have a resultmaterial effect on the Company’s financial position or results of a breach of contract. Brookside had entered into a subscription agreement with Concierge, Inc. that called for, among other things, the pending merger between Starfest and Concierge to be completed within 180 days of the investment. The merger was not completed within 180 days and Brookside sought a refund of its investment, which Concierge was unable to provide.operations.

Holders
On June 30, 20142017, there were approximately 350365 registered holders of record of our common stock.
Dividends
Until the acquisition of Wainwright in the current year, we have had no retained earnings and have declared no dividends on our capital stock. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by Nevada law. Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid to the extent that a corporation’s assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business. Under Nevada law, a company - such as our company - can pay dividends only
from retained earnings, and
and no distribution can be made, if after giving it effect,
the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
except as otherwise specifically allowed by the articles of incorporation, the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.
Our strategy on dividends is to declare and pay dividends only from retained earnings and only when the directors deemour Board of Directors deems it prudent and in the best interests of the company to declare and pay dividends.
Penny Stock Regulations
Our common stock trades on the OTC Markets QB exchangeExchange at a price less than $5 a share and therefore is subject to the rules governing "penny stocks."
A "penny stock" is any stock that:
sells for less than $5 a share.
is not listed on an exchange or authorized for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, and
is not a stock of a "substantial issuer." We currently have net tangible assets of at least $2 million which would qualify us as a “substantial issuer”.
There are statutes and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") that impose a strict regimen on brokers that recommend penny stocks.
The Penny Stock Suitability Rule
Before a broker-dealer can recommend and sell a penny stock to a new customer who is not an institutional accredited investor, the broker-dealer must obtain from the customer information concerning the person's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Then, the broker-dealer must "reasonably determine" (1) that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the person and (2) that the person, or his advisor, is capable of evaluating the risks in penny stocks.
After making this determination, the broker-dealer must furnish the customer with a written statement setting forth the basis for this suitability determination. The customer must sign and date a copy of the written statement and return it to the broker-dealer.
FinallyFinally, the broker-dealer must also obtain from the customer a written agreement to purchase the penny stock, identifying the stock and the number of shares to be purchased.
The above exercise delays a proposed transaction. It causes many broker-dealer firms to adopt a policy of not allowing their representatives to recommend penny stocks to their customers.
The Penny Stock Suitability Rule, described above, and the Penny Stock Disclosure Rule, described below, do not apply to the following:
transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer,
sales to institutional accredited investors,
transactions in which the customer is a director, officer, general partner, or direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 5 percent of any class of equity security of the issuer of the penny stock that is the subject of the transaction, and
transactions in penny stocks by broker-dealers whose income from penny stock activities does not exceed five percent of their total income during certain defined periods.
The Penny Stock Disclosure Rule
Another Commission rule - the Penny stockStock Disclosure Rule - requires a broker-dealer, who recommends the sale of a penny stock to a customer in a transaction not exempt from the suitability rule described above, to furnish the customer with a "risk disclosure document." This document is set forth in a federal regulation and contains the following information:
A statement that penny stocks can be very risky, that investors often cannot sell a penny stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock,
A warning that salespersons of penny stocks are not impartial advisers but are paid to sell the stock,
The statement that federal law requires the salesperson to tell the potential investor in a penny stock -
the "offer" and the "bid" on the stock, and
the compensation the salesperson and his firm will receive for the trade,
An explanation that the offer price and the bid price are the wholesale prices at which dealers are willing to sell and buy the stock from other dealers, and that in its trade with a customer the dealer may add a retail charge to these wholesale prices,
A warning that a large spread between the bid and the offer price can make the resale of the stock very costly,
Telephone numbers a person can call if he or she is a victim of fraud,
Admonitions -
to use caution when investing in penny stocks,
to understand the risky nature of penny stocks,
to know the brokerage firm and the salespeople with whom one is dealing, and
to be cautious if one’s salesperson leaves the firm.
Finally, the customer must be furnished with a monthly statement including prescribed information relating to market and price information concerning the penny stocks held in the customer's account.
Effects of the Rule
The above penny stock regulatory scheme is a response by the Congress and the Commission to known abuses in the telemarketing of low-priced securities by "boiler shop" operators. The scheme imposes market impediments on the sale and trading of penny stocks. It has a limiting effect on a stockholder's ability to resell a penny stock.
Our shares likely will trade below $5 a share on the OTC Markets QB exchange and be, for some time at least, shares of a "penny stock" subject to the trading market impediments described above.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Outstanding Stock Options
The following sets forth certain information concerning securities which were sold or issued by us without the registration of the securities under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on exemptions from such registration requirements within the past Our company did not sell anytwo years:
On December 9, 2016, Concierge acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Wainwright, a Delaware corporation, controlled as a group by our CEO and majority shareholder Nicholas Gerber together with affiliated shareholder Scott Schoenberger.

Results of Operations
Concierge and analysis should be readSubsidiaries
With the acquisition of Wainwright, where Wainwright and Concierge have a commonality of ownership and control as represented by the shareholdings, the acquisition has been recorded as a transaction between entities under common control on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company. Further, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income have been adjusted to include the carrying value of operations of Wainwright as if the transaction had concluded on July 1, 2015.
For the Year Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2016
Operating Income
Concierge produced an operating income for the year ended June 30, 2017 of $6.8 million as compared to $8.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2016. This represents a decrease in conjunction withoperating income of $2.1 million for the financial statementsyear ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the year ended June 30, 2016, or approximately 24%. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to transaction costs incurred while acquiring Brigadier, Gourmet and Wainwright as well as increased advertising and marketing costs during the current year connected to the launching of new product offerings.
Other Expenses
Other expense, including provision for income tax of $1.6 million and $3.6 million, for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1.5 million and $3.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, resulting in a net income of $5.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively. After giving consideration to currency translation gains of $0.1 million the comprehensive income for the year ended June 30, 2017 was $5.3 million as compared to the year ended June 30, 2016 where the currency translation loss was $30 thousand and the accompanying notes theretocomprehensive income was $5.2 million. Comprehensive gain and is qualifiedloss are comprised of fluctuations in its entirety byforeign currency exchange rates and effects the foregoingvaluation of our holdings in New Zealand and by more detailed financial information appearing elsewhere.

Net Income
Overall, the fiscalnet income between the year endingended June 30, 2011, we completed2017 as compared to the transition away from this businessyear ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $0.1 million or approximately 2% to $5.2 million. Contributing to the difference in net income and refocused our efforts, through our majority owned subsidiary Wireless Village now called Janus Cam, onreducing the saleprofits for the year ended June 30, 2017 by increasing general and distribution of mobile video surveillance systems, generically known as “drive cams”. Planet Halo,administrative costs are the one-time transaction costs to acquire Brigadier and Wainwright. Management continues to pursue a wholly owned subsidiary, had been involved with product researchslightly less aggressive acquisition strategy and development since July 2011 andexpects the transaction costs to diminish over the coming fiscal year. While net income decreased as a result of the transaction costs, the corporation's gross revenues and gross profits are increasing incrementally with the inclusion of profit generating subsidiaries.
Income Tax
Provision for income tax for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are $1.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, primarily attributable to our United States operations through our subsidiary Wainwright. The decrease in income tax for the year is mainly attributable to lower net profits as well as the application of net loss carry forward balances not utilized in prior years.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2017, Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2016
Wainwright’s revenue and expenses are primarily driven by the amount of Fund assets under management (“AUM”). Wainwright earns monthly management and advisory fees based on agreements with each Fund as determined by the contractual basis point management fee structure in each agreement multiplied by the average AUM over the given period. Many of the company’s expenses are dependent upon the amount of AUM. These variable expenses include Fund administration, custody, accounting, transfer agency, marketing and distribution, and sub-adviser fees and are primarily determined by multiplying contractual fee rates by AUM.
Average AUM for the year ended June 30, 2017 remained at $4.5 billion, substantially unchanged from the year ended June 30, 2016. However, the mix of individual funds with higher management and advisory fees which had larger AUM's contributed to a 1.6% increase in revenue, or $0.4 million, to $23.9 million from $23.5 million.
Wainwright’s total operating expenses for year ended June 30, 2017 increased by $2.3 million to $17 million, or 16%, from $14.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2016. Variable expenses, as described above, increased $0.8 million over the respective twelve-month period due to additional operating costs for new funds, an increase in sub-advisory fees as a result of higher AUM for our USCI fund which was offset by higher revenue as noted above, and an increase in fees and licenses for new and existing funds. Wainwright incurred an increase of $0.7 million in general and administrative expense which included an increase in one-time professional and legal fees during the year ended June 30, 2017 related to the launch of new funds and the acquisition by Concierge. General and administrative expense increases also included increases in fund expense waiver reimbursements based on contractual expense thresholds for certain funds, increases in other professional fees, and an increase in travel and entertainment expense as a result of increased marketing efforts and headcount. Marketing and distribution expense increased by $0.4 million to $3.3 million as a result of new fund launches and increased marketing efforts. Employee costs increased by $0.3 million over the prior year comparable period to $4.5 million due to increases in headcount from 12 to 15 which included both new and replacement position hires consisting of an overall increase of $0.8 million offset by a reduction in one-time payments of $0.5 million.
Net income before taxes for the year ended June 30, 2017 decreased $1.8 million to $7 million from $8.8 million for year ended June 30, 2016 due to increases in operations expenses, general and administrative expenses and marketing expenses due to new fund costs, one-time expenses relating to the Concierge transaction, an increase in employee headcount and increased marketing efforts.
Gourmet Foods, Ltd.
Gourmet Foods Limited (“Gourmet Foods”), was organized in its current form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd). Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers. Concierge purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Gourmet Foods as of August 1, 2015 even though the transaction did not officially close until August 11, 2015.
The accompanying financial statements include the operations of Gourmet Foods for the period August 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 as compared to the operations for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. Due to these differences in the accounting periods, the comparative results below will not be a true representation of Gourmet Foods' operating trends.
Gourmet Foods operates exclusively in New Zealand and thus the New Zealand dollar is its functional currency. In order to consolidate Concierge’s reporting currency, the US dollar, with that of Gourmet Foods, Concierge records foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830. The translation of New Zealand currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency translations are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Expense found on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the Year Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to the Eleven Months Ended June 30, 2016
Net revenues for the years endingyear ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Planet Halo had been accumulating debt through loans where proceeds2017 were used for further product development and research. On January 31, 2013 the Company executed a stock redemption agreement whereby we$4.8 million with cost of goods sold the corporationof $3.3 million resulting in a stock-for-stock transactiongross profit of $1.5 million as compared to a shareholder in Concierge Technologies. As ofthe eleven months ended June 30, 2014 Janus Cam is our only subsidiary. Planet Halo operations are accounted for through January 31, 2013 as discontinued operations2016 where net revenues were $3.8 million; cost of goods sold were $2.5 million; and have been eliminated from the Consolidated Balance Sheetgross profit was $1.3 million.
General, administrative and selling expenses, including wages and marketing, for the year endingended June 30, 20132017 and the eleven months ended 2016 were $1.1 million and $0.7 million producing operating income of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, or approximately 7% net operating profit for comparison purposes.year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 15% for the eleven months ended June 30, 2016.
The depreciation expense, income tax provision and other income totaled $0.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $0.3 million for the eleven months ended June 30, 2016, resulting in mobile digitala net income of approximately $14 thousand as compared to a net income of $0.2 million, respectively.
Overall, net profit margins for the comparative periods are consistent and differences are attributed to depreciation expense, varying income tax provisions and the fluctuation of currency exchange rates with the New Zealand dollar.
Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd.
Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. (“Brigadier”) was founded in 1985 and through internal growth and acquisitions the core business of Brigadier began in 1998. Today Brigadier is one of the largest SecurTek security monitoring dealers in Saskatchewan with offices in both major urban areas of Regina (under the fictitious business name of “Elite Security”) and Saskatoon. SecurTek is owned by Saskatchewan's publicly-owned telecommunications utility with well over 100,000 customers across Canada. Brigadier is also a Honeywell Certified Access Control Distributor, Kantech Global Dealer and UTC Interlogix Security Pro dealer and the largest independent security contractor in the province. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera deployment into the company by partnering with several industry professionalsmonitoring, motion detection, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools and public buildings. Brigadier typically sells hardware to customers and a manufacturer of camera and DVR products. In order to gain this expertise we conveyed approximately 49% of our equity ownership in Janus Cam to these professionals. On January 31, 2013 we effectuated an agreement to buy out the minority stakeholders in a stock exchange transaction whereby the shareholdersfull-time monitoring of the non-controlling interest exchanged their sharespremises. The contract for monitoring the premises` is then conveyed to a third-party telecom in Janus Camexchange for shares inrecurring residuals based on subscriber contracts.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include the operations of Brigadier only for the one month ended June 30, 2016 because Concierge Technologies.did not acquire Brigadier until June 2, 2016. As a result, there is no income attributedmeaningful comparison data to non-controlling interests on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for year ending June 30, 2014.
Brigadier operates exclusively in Canada and thus the Canadian dollar is its functional currency. In order to consolidate Concierge’s reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, with that of Brigadier, Concierge records foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30. The translation of Canadian currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency translations are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Expense found on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Brigadier purchases various component parts and accessories anticipated to be required in near-term installations of systems pursuant to sales forecasts. These parts are listed in inventory until sold, which is determined by a sales contract, delivery of the product, and a reasonable expectation of payment under typical terms of sale are in evidence. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a FIFO basis) or market. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs. At each reporting period, and no less frequently than quarterly, Brigadier compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower.
For the Year Ended June 30, 2017
The net revenues for the year ended June 30, 2014 other income of $13,437 is attributed to recovered shipping expenses, a difference of $1,880 and generally in line2017 were $3.1 million with the difference in sales volume. The remaining balance in other income, $45,264, is attributed to a downward adjustment of calculated California sales tax liability of $44,649, a correction connected to the liabilities recorded in the sale of Planet Halo of $1,100, credit card balance adjustments of $2,100, a decrease in the cost of goods sold of $12,080 andrecorded as $1.3 million, resulting in a downwards adjustment in inventory of $14,715. Accounts receivable, net allowance for doubtful accounts of $25,186, at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were recorded at $159,047and $113,386 respectively, an increase of $45,661 or 40%. The receipt of payment in relation to the period ending, not an increase in general in account receivable aging, resulted in the lower accounts receivable. The overall aging of accounts or the risk of collection has not been affected.
General, administrative and selling expenses for the year ended June 30, 20142017 were $1.3 million producing an operating profit of $319,019 as compared to a loss$0.5 million or approximately 15%.
Other expense comprised of $189,322 depreciation, income tax, interest income, commission income and gain on sale of assets totaled $141 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2013. After giving consideration2017 resulting in a net profit of $0.3 million.
Kahnalytics, Inc.
Kahnalytics was established in 2015 to income taxcarry on the residual business of $800,Janus Cam after disposal of that subsidiary. For the net loss on a consolidated basis for the yearyears ended June 30, 2014 was $319,819 as compared2017 and 2016, the Company has incurred de minimis operating losses insignificant to net income, after giving consideration to income taxthe overall enterprise. As of $22,763, income from discontinued operations (including gain on disposal of our subsidiary) of $275,686, and loss attributed to non-controlling interest of $31,375, for the year ended June 30, 20132017, the business is being wound down and management expects operations within the industry of $94,976. Our net loss from continuing operations has increased by $107,734mobile video and live-streaming data to $319,819 overbe eliminated during the current year when compared to the previous year where net loss from continuing operations was $212,085, including income tax provision. Management attributes the increased loss to heightened staff expenses, including hiring of additional employees, new employee agreements and the related benefit costs, lower profit margins to liquidate discontinued product and the cost of new product development coupled with loan interest on borrowed funds.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to expandtransition our Kahnalytics subsidiary into a more profitable industry sector through acquisition or business combination thus stemming losses and growing revenues. Additionally, we are expecting moderate growth in Brigadier through focused management initiatives and consolidation within the salessecurity industry. Similarly, we expect Gourmet Foods to be operating more efficiently under current management and marketing effort of Janus Camcontinue to increase market share through implementation of distributionadditional product offerings and channels to market. Wainwright will continue to develop innovative and addition of new fund products including a brandingto grow its portfolio.

Additionally, we intenddiverse nature and with in-place management to approach the consumer electronics market with a lower-cost version of the in-vehicle recording device. For the coming year we intend to focus on sourcing new technologies and/or devices synergistic to the business of Janus Cam, including the consumer market, and the industry of fleet management in general.produce increasing revenue streams. By these initiatives we hope to:

Liquidity
Concierge is a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. At its holding-company level, its liquidity needs relate to 2011, our primary sourceoperational expenses and the funding of additional business acquisitions. Our operating capital has been funding sourced through insiders or shareholders under the terms of unsecured promissory notes. We have been able, throughsubsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating revenues, to remain current on allactivities, debt service, and vendor payables for the two years hence. However, sufficient funds have been unavailablecapital expenditures, including purchases of equipment and services, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.
As of June 30, 2017, we had $6.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on a consolidated basis as compared to eliminate aging note payables accrued from years prior and repayment$5.5 million as of debts incurred during the current year.
During the previous 2 years, Concierge has invested approximately $3.5 million in cash towards purchasing and assimilating Gourmet Foods and Brigadier Security Systems into the coming fiscal year.
Borrowings
As of Concierge. Because Concierge has no other sourcesJune 30, 2017, we had $0.7 million of income beyond the management fees there is no expectation of profits apart from those of Janus Camindebtedness on a consolidated basis as compared to $0.6 million as of June 30, 2016. Concierge, without inclusion of its subsidiary companies, as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, had $0.6 million of indebtedness. We are not required to make interest payments on our notes until the maturity date.
Current related party notes payable consist of the following:

Notes payable to shareholder, interest rate of 10%, unsecured and payable on July 31, 2004 (past due) | $ | - | $ | 5,000 | ||||

On April 8, 2016 and May 25, 2016, the Company entered into convertible promissory note agreements (the “Promissory Notes”) with the Gerber Irrevocable Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and CEO, that resulted in the funding of $350,000 and with the Schoenberger Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and director, that resulted in the funding of $250,000, respectively. The Promissory Notes bear interest at four percent (4%) per annum and increases to nineteen percent (19%) in the event of default by the Company. The Company and the noteholder negotiated the interest rate at arm’s length relying upon the available market rate for long-term deposits at financial institutions as well as the comingcurrent rate of return realized by the noteholder for cash deposits currently held. Larger deposits traditionally fall into a “Jumbo” rate category with marginally higher returns. Interest ranged from annual percentage rates of 0.01% at the lowest to 1.75% at the highest. Recognizing the unsecured nature of the promissory note, and the historical record of continued operating losses by the Company, a rate of 4 percent annual interest was agreed upon in light of the heightened default risk over traditional investment instruments. There was no beneficial conversion feature identified as of the date of issuance of the Promissory Notes.
During the prior six months, our subsidiary Brigadier has been purchasing new service vehicles to replace the aging leased vehicle fleet. The new vehicles are, in part, financed by a Saskatchewan-based bank through an installment loan agreement related to each vehicle collateralized individually as the vehicles are delivered. As of June 30, 2017 Brigadier had, in the aggregate, an outstanding principal balance of CD$116,658 (approx. US$89,993). The loan principal together with interest is amortized over 60 equal monthly installments. (Refer to Note 11 in the Financial Statements)
Investments
Wainwright, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that Wainwright manages. Wainwright classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year from the balance sheet date. These investments are described further in Note 7 to our Financial Statements.
Reverse Stock Split
Our Board and the majority stockholders have approved the adoption of a one-for-thirty (1:30) reverse stock split whereby each thirty shares of our common stock and Series B Preferred stock issued and outstanding as of the record date established by the Board shall be combined into one share of common stock or preferred stock, as applicable (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split will become effective as determined by the Board in its discretion at any time prior to December 31, 2017.
Distributions
Our strategy on dividends is to declare and pay dividends only from retained earnings and only when our Board of Directors deems it prudent and in the best interests of the company to declare and pay dividends. Prior to the acquisition of Wainwright we had no retained earnings and had declared no dividends on our capital stock. Subsequent to the acquisition of Wainwright, we have paid no dividends and we do not expect to pay any dividends over the next fiscal year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2014, our company hasOctober 13, 2017, we have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under which we havehave:
● | An obligation under a guarantee contract, |
● | A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets, |
● | An obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to, us where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us. |

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financialbalance sheets and related statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows include the accountsall adjustments, consisting only of Concierge Technologies, Inc. (parent), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wireless Village. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Planet Halo, was disposed during the previous year and hence has been eliminated from the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statementsnormal recurring items, necessary for the period ending June 30, 2013 for comparison purposes.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which are referred herein as the “Financial Statements” include the accounts of Concierge and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Wainwright, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier and Kahnalytics.
Wainwright was acquired during the current fiscal year. Due to the commonality of ownership and control between the two companies, the transaction has been accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control (Refer to Note 12 of the Financial Statements).
The accompanying Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 include the assets, liabilities and the results of operations of Wainwright at carrying amounts as though the transaction and exchange of equity interests has occurred at the beginning of the comparative period, or July 1, 2015.
All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Financial Statements are in conformity with U.S. GAAP which 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 statementsFinancial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligationsobligations.
Concentrations of Risk
Concierge.
Accounts Receivable, Related Parties and Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable primarily consists of fund asset management fees receivable from the Wainwright business. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. TheAs of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company determined thathad an allowanceinsignificant amount recorded in doubtful accounts.
Major Customers and Suppliers – Concentration of $25,186 was necessaryCredit Risk
Concierge, through Brigadier, is dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company who purchases the monitoring contracts and provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. Sales to the two largest customers, which includes contracts and recurring monthly residuals from the monitoring company, totaled 46% of the total revenues for the yearsyear ended June 30, 20142017, and 2013.accounted for approximately 40% of accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30, 2017. There is no comparison data for the prior year as the company was not acquired until June 2016.
Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. For the year ending and balance sheet date of June 30, 2017, our largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 18% of our gross sales revenues and 41% of our accounts receivable as compared to 14% and 34% respectively for the prior 11 months ended June 30, 2016. The second largest in the grocery industry accounted for approximately 11% and 10% of our gross revenues and 11% and 12% of our accounts receivable for the year ending and 11 months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively. In the gasoline convenience store market we supply two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers who for the year ending and balance sheet date of June 30, 2017 accounted for approximately 43% of our gross sales revenues as compared to 44% for the 11-month period ended June 30, 2016. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of our accounts receivable. The second largest are independent operators accounting for less than 10% of gross sales however no single independent operator is responsible for a significant portion of our accounts receivable. The third category of independent retailers and cafes accounted for the balance of our gross sales revenue however the group is fragmented and no one customer accounts for a significant portion of our revenues or accounts receivable. Gourmet Foods is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local market place should the need arise.
For our subsidiary, Wainwright, the concentration of risk and the relative reliance on major customers are found within the various funds it manages and the associated 12 month revenues and accounts receivable as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 as depicted below.

Reclassifications
For comparative purposes, prior year’s Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year after giving consideration to the acquisition of Wainwright Holdings, Inc. as a pooling of interests under common control.
Inventory
Inventories, consisting primarily of food products and packaging in New Zealand and security system hardware in Canada, are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a FIFO basis) or market. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and leasehold improvements are capitalized. Office furniture and equipment include office fixtures, computers, printers and other office equipment plus software and applicable packaging designs. Leasehold improvements, which are included in plant and equipment, are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement and the length of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over anthe estimated useful life of three years.
Category | Estimated Useful Life (in years) | |||||
Plant and equipment: | 5 | to | 10 | |||
Furniture and office equipment: | 3 | to | 5 | |||
Vehicles | 3 | to | 5 |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the discounted expected future cash flows. If the future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company's financial instruments primarily consistCompany measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains or (losses). The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The changes to past practice resulting from the application of cashASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,the expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and accounts payable.
Level 1:1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such asindirectly. Level 2 assets include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or otherliability, and inputs that are observablederived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).
Level 3 – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for substantially the full termasset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.
In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the assets or liabilities.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the assets or liabilities.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds, sale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections in New Zealand, security alarm system installation and monitoring service in Canada, and subscriptions to gathering of live-streaming video recording data displayed online to users. Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, trade discounts. Revenue is recognized on the datewhen persuasive evidence of shipment to customers when a formalan arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed,has occurred, no other significant obligations of the Company exist,, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit Whenthe position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists: An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presentedposition is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a reductionliability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to a deferredthe taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, exceptbenefits are classified as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result fromin the disallowancestatements of a tax position oroperations.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the tax lawcost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $3.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Foreign Currency Translation
We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Translation. The accounts of Gourmet Foods, Ltd. use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security System use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the average exchange rate throughout the period. Accumulated translation gains and losses classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entityconsolidated balance sheet was approximately $113 thousand and ($30) thousand as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Other comprehensive income (loss) is attributed to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presentedchanges in the valuation of short term investments held by Wainwright for approximately $36 thousand and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses can occur if a transaction is settled in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 there were no material transactional gains or losses.
Segment Reporting
The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax assetinformation is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the unrecognized tax benefitgeographic locations of its subsidiaries (Refer to Note 16 of the Financial Statements).
Business Combinations
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and deferred tax assetintangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 a determination was made that exist atno adjustments were necessary.
Reclassifications
Certain 2016 balances have been reclassified to conform to the reporting2017 presentation in consideration of the pooling of interests with Wainwright during the current fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” ASU No. 2015-06 simplifies the accounting for measurement-period adjustments attributable to an acquisition. Under prior guidance, adjustments to provisional amounts during the measurement period that arise due to new information regarding acquisition date and shouldcircumstances must be made presuming disallowanceretrospectively with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The amended guidance requires an acquirer to record adjustments to provisional amounts made during the measurement period in the period that the adjustment is determined. The adjustments should reflect the impact on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as if the accounting had been completed as of the tax position atacquisition date. Additionally, amounts recorded in the current period that would have been reflected in prior reporting date. For example, an entity should not evaluate whetherperiods if the deferred tax asset expires beforeadjustments had been recognized as of the statute of limitationsacquisition date must be disclosed either on the tax positionface of the income statement or whetherin the deferred tax asset may be used priornotes to the unrecognized tax benefit being settled.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-122016-07, "Investments Equity-Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" (“ASU 2016-07”). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on the Company'sour financial condition, results of operations or financial condition.
In August 2014,March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entities AbilityASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15).Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The guidance in ASU 2014-15 sets forth management's responsibilitysimplifies accounting for share-based payments, most notably by requiring all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continuebe recorded as a going concern as well as required disclosures. ASU 2014-15 indicates that, when preparing financial statements for interim and annual financial statements, management should evaluate whether conditionsincome tax benefits or events,expense in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt aboutincome statement and by allowing entities to recognize forfeitures of awards when they occur. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and may be adopted prospectively or retroactively. We are currently evaluating the entity's abilityimpact the adoption of this standard would have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash". It is intended to continuereduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new standard requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. As a going concern for one year fromresult, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This evaluation should include considerationstatement of conditions and events that are either known or are reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, as well as whether it is probable that management's plans to address the substantial doubt will be implemented and, if so, whether it is probable that the plans will alleviate the substantial doubt.cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business", which clarifies and provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for acquisition or deconsolidation transactions occurring before the issuance date or effective date and only when the transactions have not been reported in issued or made available for issuance financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption to have any significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will apply this guidance to applicable impairment tests after the adoption date.
No other recently issued accounting pronouncements are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARES
Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Diluted net lossincome per share for the years ended June 30, 2014 did not reflectreflects the effects of shares actually potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible notes. These potentially issuable shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the Company’s net losspreferred stock.

NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN
Inventories consisted of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,893,709 as of June 30 2014, including a net loss of $319,819 during the year ended June 30, 2014. The historical losses have adversely affected the liquidity of the Company. The current yearly operations resulted in a net loss that, in part, was due to an increase in interest payable on accrued notes, the need to liquidate obsolete product at a discount, and the cost to design and launch a new product. The Company faces continuing significant business risks, which include, but are not limited to, its ability to maintain vendor and supplier relationships by making timely payments when due, continue product research and development efforts, and successfully compete for customers.

On November 8, 2013 Janus Cam entered into a short term Note Agreement with an unaffiliated individual in the amount of $50,000, the proceeds of which were used to pay down inventory purchase costs. Interest on the Note accrues at an annual rate of 10% and is payable in monthly installments with an adjusted maturity date of January 5, 2015. On February 19, 2014 the lender agreed to extend the maturity date andJuly 7, 2016, the Company agreedrepaid the outstanding note due to pay a loan commitment feerelated party totaling $5,000 in principal and $5,000 in accrued interest. A total of 1.5%, or $750. By agreement, that fee$2,075 in accrued interest was paidforgiven by the issuance of 53,571 shares of unregistered common stock with a market value on the date of issuance of $0.014 per share.
Interest expense for all related to the convertible debenture. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the convertible debenture and fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. However, as the debenture holder has no right to convert their debt to equity prior to August 19, 2014, hence, if, as of August 19, 2014, the debenture is not repaid, Company will account for the embedded derivative as of that date.
Promissory Note Payable – Related Parties
On April 8, 2016 and May 25, 2016, the Company entered into convertible promissory note agreements (the “Promissory Notes”) with the Gerber Irrevocable Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and CEO, that resulted in the funding of $350,000 and with the Schoenberger Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and director, that resulted in the funding of $250,000, respectively. The Promissory Notes bear interest at four percent (4%) per annum and increases to nineteen percent (19%) in the event of default by the Company. The Company and the noteholder negotiated the interest rate at arm’s length relying upon the available market rate for long-term deposits at financial institutions as well as the current rate of return realized by the noteholder for cash deposits currently held. Larger deposits traditionally fall into a “Jumbo” rate category with marginally higher returns. Interest ranged from annual percentage rates of 0.01% at the lowest to 1.75% at the highest. Recognizing the unsecured nature of the promissory note, and the historical record of continued operating losses by the Company, a rate of 4% annual interest was agreed upon in light of the heightened default risk over traditional investment instruments. There was no beneficial conversion feature identified as of the date of issuance of the Promissory Notes.
In connection with the acquisition of Wainwright on December 9, 2016 the convertible promissory note was subsequently amended to remove the conversion feature. The maturity date and interest rate remain the same and the liability is summarizednow reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:

Conflicts of Interest
Our officers and directors of the company who are not employees of our subsidiary company will not devote more than a portion of their time to the affairs of the company.our affairs. There will be occasions when the time requirements of the company'sConcierge's business conflict with the demands of their other business and investment activities. Such conflicts may require that the companywe attempt to employ additional personnel. There is no assurance that the services of such persons will be available or that they can be obtained upon terms favorable to the company.
Our officers and directors of the company may be directors or principal shareholders of other companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest with respect to potential acquisitions. In addition, our officers and directors of the company may in the future participate in business ventures, which could be deemed to compete directly with the company.Concierge. Additional conflicts of interest and non-armsnon-arm's length transactions may also arise in the future in the event the company'sour officers or directors are involved in the management of any firm with which the company transactswe transact business. The company's board of directors has adopted a policy that the Company will not seek a merger with, or acquisition of, any entity in which management serve as officers or directors, or in which they or their family members own or hold a controlling ownership interest. Although the board of directors could elect to change this policy, the board of directors has no present intention to do so. In addition, if the companyConcierge and other companies with which the company'sour officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of a potential business opportunity, then theour board of directors has agreed that said opportunity should be available to each such company in the order in which such companies registered or became current in the filing of annual reports under the '34 Act.
Our officers and directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by the company'sour officers and directors which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to the company'sour officers and directors to acquire their shares creates a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to the companyus and itsour other shareholders. Even though such a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of the companyConcierge and the company'sConcierge’s other shareholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.

ITEM 13.CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.INDEPENDENCE
Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCQB on which our shares of common stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
The Board does not currently have any standing committees. Prior to the expansion of the Board and the election of the director Nominees, the Board was comprised of four directors, with an additional 3 vacancies. The Board did not believe it was necessary to form standing committees due to the Company’s and the Board’s small size. As previously composed, the Board was able to efficiently address matters such as the nomination of candidates for director and the review and approval of executive officer and director compensation. Following the effectiveness of the expansion of the Board and the election of the director Nominees, the Board will review the appropriateness of forming standing audit, nominating, corporate governance and compensation committees in light of the Company’s growth and the expansion of the Board and will form such standing or ad hoc committees as the Board deems appropriate.
Related Party Transactions
During the previous two fiscal years preceding our last fiscal year to present, there have been no transactions with related persons, promoters or certain control persons as covered by Item 404 of Regulation S-K. However, in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement with Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger, certain now current executive officers and directors may have formed a “group” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Act which may result in related party transactions in the future. These affiliations are disclosed herein.
On January 26, 2015, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with two accredited investors, Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger, (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell and the Purchasers agreed to purchase 400,000,000 shares of common stock and 32,451,499 shares of Series B preferred stock of the Company in exchange for $3,000,000 USD. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Purchasers acquired a controlling interest in the Company pursuant to the issuance of the above shares which constituted 70.0% of the voting control of the Company. Following the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Mr. Gerber and Schoenberger became officers and directors of the Company.
On September 19, 2016, the Company entered into a conditional Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated September 19, 2016, with Wainwright Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wainwright”) and certain shareholders of Wainwright (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Sellers conditionally agreed to sell, and the Company conditionally agreed to purchase, the total issued and outstanding common stock of Wainwright (the “Wainwright Shares”).
As a result of the transaction completed on December 9, 2016, current shareholders of Wainwright became shareholders of the Company. Prior to the transaction, Mr. Gerber, along with certain family members and certain other Wainwright shareholders, owned the majority of the common stock in the Company as well as Wainwright. Following the closing of this transaction, he and those shareholders continue to own the majority of the Company voting shares. Mr. Gerber and Mr. Schoenberger (and the through the control of their respective trusts which hold stock in the Company) entered into a Voting Agreement reflective of a similar Voting Agreement in place for Wainwright wherein they have agreed to vote in concert with regard to all matters that come before the shareholders or the board of directors for a vote. This Voting Agreement establishes them as a control group.
Any future transactions by and among the parties mentioned above may qualify as related party transactions and will be disclosed accordingly.
We have adopted a policy that any transactions with directors, officers or entities of which they are also officers or directors or in which they have a financial interest, will only be on terms consistent with industry standards and approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors and based upon a determination that these transactions are on terms no less favorable to us than those which could be obtained by unaffiliated third parties. This policy could be terminated in the future. In addition, interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which approves such a transaction.
