Uncertainty due to Global Outbreak of Covid-19
In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 Global pandemic. The COVID-19 has impacted vast array of businesses through the restrictions put in place by most governments internationally, including the federal, provincial, and municipal governments, regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company and its operations is unknown and will greatly depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing for its research and development initiatives or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. On consolidation, all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a contract with a customer exists and a performance obligation is identified and satisfied as the customer obtains control of the goods or services.
Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Uncertainty due to Global Outbreak of COVID-19
In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 Global pandemic. The COVID-19 has impacted vast array of businesses through the restrictions put in place by most governments internationally, including the federal, provincial, and municipal governments, regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company and its operations is unknown and will greatly depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic
spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing for its research and development initiatives or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.

GOING CONCERN
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly 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. During ourWe started generating operating revenue in the third quarter ended July 31,of our fiscal 2020, we started generating revenue from our operations, however, this revenue is not sufficient enoughto support our operating expenses, and/or to enable us to pay dividends, therefore, as at July 31, 2020, it is unlikely that we will be in position to pay dividends or generate significant earnings or to pay dividends to our shareholders in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.
Based on our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. At July 31, 2020,April 30, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $952,121$406,160 and accumulated losses of $7,635,636$8,762,126 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. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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.

Capital Resources
Our ability to continue the development and marketing of the VGrab Application,Applications, SMART Systems, VGrab WeChat Application, as well as commencement of the development of Duesenberg EV and products based on our technologyDuesenberg Heritage vehicles, 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.

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.
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 the 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 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, 2019.2020. 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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, SMART Systems, 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 the 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 website 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.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction
The Parent Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, VGrabDuesenberg Malaysia’s functional currency is Malaysian Ringgit, and Vgrab Asia’s functional currency is Hong Kong dollar, the Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. VGrab International’s, Duesenberg NV’s, and Duesenberg Heritage functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The Company translates assets and liabilities to US dollars using reporting date 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.
Foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in foreign exchange expense. Except for translations of intercompany balances, all translations of monetary balances to the functional currency at the reporting date exchange rate are included in foreign exchange expense. The translations of intercompany balances to the functional currency at the reporting date exchange rate are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals as well as notes payable and amounts due to related parties. We believe the fair value of these financial instruments approximates 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 GST recoverable.amounts receivable.
At July 31, 2020,April 30, 2021, we had $1,314$19,649 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank, $15,034$263,958 in cash on deposits with a bank in Malaysia, and $507$757 in cash on deposits with a bank in Hong Kong. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. 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 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 Quarterly 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, due to our current size and lack of segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring 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.
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 quarter ended July 31, 2020,April 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
