In addition, management's assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. We caution all readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will prove correct or the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our accountants havehad issued a “going concern” opinion with regard to our continuing ability to operate.

In its report dated March 30, 2012,the audited reports for the years ended October 2011,2012,and 2013 the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company stated thatissued a going concern footnote based on the financial statements forCompany’s losses and negative cash flows. Since the yearyears ended October 31, 2011 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as2014 through October 31, 2021 the independent accounting firm for the Company has not issued a going concern is an issue raised as a result of cash flow constraints, an accumulated deficit of $196,612 as of October 31, 2011 and a loss from operations of $411,155 at October 31, 2011. Unless there is profitability and increases in stockholders’ equity, these conditions raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The October 31, 2011 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subjectstatement due to the abilitygrowth in positive cash flows along with lower net losses attributed to generate a profit from current and new activities and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including additional funds fromnon-cash items plus the sale of our securities or loans from financial institutions/individuals where possible. The continued operating losses and stockholders' deficit increases the difficultyincreased growth in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful, or that these funds will be available at the times, on the conditions or in the amounts required.revenue.

 

We willmay require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

We willmay require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features and platforms, enhance our existing products and services, improve our operating infrastructure and increase our sales, marketing and programming personnel. Accordingly, we willmay need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock.

COVID 19 Factors

The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans, and quarantine. This may limit access to our, suppliers, management, support staff and professional advisors. Although the Company’s operations are virtual, we depend on numerous third party consultants and contract suppliers so we cannot measure the impact on our operations or financial condition at this point in time.

Industry and Competition

We will continueface competition from several vendors who offer products similar to ours in the industrial automation space. Many of these competitors have resources and revenues larger than ours; however, our software is compatible with their products, making it common for a customer to install software from both us and our competition in the same system. We are not aware of direct competition for our products in the financial services sector. Two companies, Tibco Software, Inc. and Lightstreamer Srl, provide software that overlaps with some of the capabilities of our software; however, to our knowledge the Cogent DataHub® and Vine™ are the only products that provides real-time, bi-directional data links between Excel spreadsheets over the Internet or on a network. There are also a number of large industrial automation vendors who offer SCADA systems to their clients. Examples include Siemens, ABB, Emerson Process Management, Rockwell Automation, Honeywell Process Solutions, Schneider Electric (AVEVA), GE Invensys and PTC. We view these companies and others performing similar services as potential competitors inasmuch as they have resources to link their SCADA functions to a Cloud based system; however, we are not currently aware that any vendor is doing so yet. Since these companies already have an installed base of SCADA customers whose systems can be easily connected to our software, these companies also represent an opportunity for joint sales or OEM licensing. A number of these companies are already our customers, and two are official partners (Siemens and AVEVA/Schneider).

There do not currently appear to be controlled by twoCloud system companies organized for the purpose of hosting real-time industrial data and connectivity. One company, LogMeIn, Inc. (previously Pachube and then Cosm Ltd.), is providing Cloud storage services branded under Xively™ for sensor data, but we do not regard them as competitive due to their focus on storage rather than real-time collection and distribution. Cloud infrastructure companies such as Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure) and Google offer pre-configured applications or computing platforms for remotely hosting a customer’s IT activities. Their primary purpose is to provide the computing substrate for the customer’s applications. As such, these companies, as presently operated, act as suppliers of computing resources to us, not as competition. For instance, we recently became a Microsoft Partner, as we released a version of our stockholders afterDataHub® product that is available directly from Microsoft’s Azure marketplace website.

As we release new versions of our products, they will include new features that may result in some or all of the completionabove-listed companies becoming more direct competition. We cannot measure in advance the impact this may have on our sales.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

We intend to take advantage of this offering,the disclosure requirements of the JOBS Act provided for emerging growth companies including not providing all the accounting disclosure that other companies will be required to provide which may limit an investor’s ability to compare our financial statements with other companies.

Under the JOBS Act, we can elect to not comply with new or revised accounting standards which will limit yourallow us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. This could affect an investor’s ability to influence corporate activitiesevaluate our financial statements compared to other public companies. In addition to the financial statements, the JOBS Act along with being a “Smaller Reporting Company” allows us to provide less disclosure on certain issues such as executive compensation as other companies which could affect an investor’s ability to compare us to other companies.

The Company’s stock price may be volatile.

The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the following:

·

technological innovations or new products and services by the Company or its competitors;

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

·

the Company’s ability to execute its business plan;

·

operating results that fall below expectations;

·

loss of any strategic relationship;

·

industry developments;

·

economic and other external factors; and

·

period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of ourthe Company’s common stock.

 

Upon completion ofWe may in the offering, twofuture issue additional shares of our stockholders, Sakura Software (43.98%)common stock which would reduce investors’ ownership interests in the Company and Benford Consultancy (16.82%) will own a totalwhich may dilute our share value.

Thomas and Paul Benford, who are respectively, CEO and COO5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. The future issuance of all or part of our Company andremaining authorized common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our subsidiary, Cogent. There is no voting agreementcommon stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other understanding in place between Messrs. Thomas and Benford or their corporate entities. Nevertheless, as a result of this ownership, these two stockholders will have effective control over the outcome of votes on all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors, the adoption of amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws and approval of a sale of the company and other significant corporate transactions. These stockholders can also take actions thatmay have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in controldiluting the value of us or discouraging others from making tender offersthe shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our shares, which could prevent stockholders from receiving a premium for their shares. These actions may be taken even if other stockholders oppose them.

Under the terms of a class of Series A Preferred shares of our Company, our CEO and our COO will have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors for a period of four years until December 31, 2016

We have created a class of Series A Preferred stock, 5,000 shares of which have been issued to Sakura Software and Benford Consultancy, which in turn are 100% owned respectively, by Andrew S. Thomas, our Chairman and CEO, and Paul Benford, our COO. The Series A Preferred voting as a separate class have the right to elect a majority of our Board of Directors until December 31, 2016. In addition, each such share has the right to vote together with the common stockholders on all other matters presented to a vote, with each such Series A Preferred having 100 votes. Therefore, in addition to their indirect ownership of 43.98% (Thomas) and 16.82% (Benford) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, Thomas and Benford will control the election of a majority of the Board of Directors for the next four years.

Our financial results may fluctuate due to various factors, some of which may be beyond our control.

There are a number of factors that may cause our financial results to fluctuate from period to period, including:

the extent to which new clients are attracted to our products and services to satisfy their manufacturing and financial services supervisory and coordinating controls;

the timing and rate at which we sign agreements with new clients;

the extent to which we retain existing clients and satisfy their requirements;

the extent to which existing clients renew their subscriptions to our products and services and the timing of those renewals;

the number and size of new clients, as compared to the number and size of renewal clients in a particular period;

the mix of clients between small, mid-sized and large organizations;

changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;

the amount and timing of operating expenses, including those related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure;

the timing and success of new product and service introductions by us;

the timing and success of current and new competitive products and services by our competitors;

other changes in the competitive dynamics of our industry, including consolidation among competitors, clients or strategic partners;

the timing of expenses related to the development of new products and technologies, including enhancements to our offerings;

our ability to manage our existing business and future growth, including in terms of additional clients, incremental users and new geographic regions;

general economic, industry and market conditions; and

various factors related to disruptions in our hosting network infrastructure, defects in our products, and data security, each of which is described elsewhere in these risk factors.

In light of the foregoing factors, we believe that our financial results, including our revenue levels, may vary significantly from period-to-period.

The forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, we cannot assure you our business will grow at similar rates, or at all.

Growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates which may not prove to be accurate. Forecasts relating to the expected growth in the IT market generally, the growth of public cloud services generally and the adoption of cloud services for industrial middleware markets may prove to be inaccurate. Even if these markets experience the forecasted growth, we may not grow our business at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts included in this prospectus should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.

Unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy or reductions in information technology spending could limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our operating results.

Our operating results may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our clients. The revenue growth and potential profitability of our business depends on demand for enterprise application software and services generally and for control supervisory processes in particular. We sell our solution primarily to large and mid-sized organizations whose businesses fluctuate based on general economic and business conditions. To the extent that weak economic conditions cause our clients and potential clients to freeze, demand for our products and services may be negatively affected. Historically, economic downturns have resulted in overall reductions in spending on information technology. If economic conditions do not materially improve, our clients and potential clients may elect to decrease their information technology budgets by deferring or reconsidering product purchases, which would limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our operating results.

The market in which we participate is intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The market for software similar to our own is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and fragmented. Many of our competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater brand name recognition, much longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and significantly greater resources than we do, and, with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. If we fail to compete effectively, our business will be harmed. Some of our principal competitors offer their products or services at a lower price, which has resulted in pricing pressures. Similarly, some competitors offer different billing terms which may result pressures on our billing terms. If we are unable to maintain our pricing levels and our billing terms, our operating results would be negatively impacted.

Many of our competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services. Moreover, many software vendors could bundle similar products or offer such products at a lower price as part of a larger product sale. In addition, some competitors may offer software that addresses one, or a limited number, of functions at a lower price point or with greater depth than our solution. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or client requirements. Further, some potential clients, particularly large enterprises, may elect to develop their own internal solutions. For all of these reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors.

Security breaches may hurt our business.

Our solution involves the storage and transmission of clients’ proprietary and confidential information over the Internet, and security breaches, unauthorized access, unauthorized usage, virus or similar breach or disruption could result in loss of this information, damage to our reputation, early termination of our contracts, litigation, regulatory investigations or other liabilities. If our security measures are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to client data, our reputation will be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived security breach occurs, the market perception of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose sales and clients. Moreover, if a high profile security breach occurs with respect to another provider, our clients and potential clients may lose trust in the security of the business model generally, which could adversely impact our ability to retain existing clients or attract new ones.

Any significant disruption in our hosting network infrastructure could harm our reputation, require us to provide credits or refunds, result in early termination of a client agreement or a loss of clients, and adversely affect our business.

7

Our hosting network infrastructure is an optional part of our business operations. Although we have notexperienceddisruptions in our computing and communications infrastructure heretofore, we may experience them in the future. Factors that may cause such disruptions include:

human error;

security breaches;

telecommunications outages from third-party providers;

computer viruses;

acts of terrorism, sabotage or other intentional acts of vandalism;

unforeseen interruption or damages experienced in moving hardware to a new location;

fire, earthquake, flood and other natural disasters; and

power loss.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties.

We anticipate that we will continue to depend on various third-party relationships in order to grow our business. In addition to growing our indirect sales channels, we intend to pursue additional relationships with other third parties, such as technology providers, distributors and foreign consultants and strategic partners. Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with third parties require significant time and resources as does integrating third-party content and technology. Our agreements with distributors and providers of technology, content and consulting services are typically non-exclusive, do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services or to prevent or reduce subscriptions to our solution. In addition, these distributors and providers may not perform as expected under our agreements, and we may in the future have, disagreements or disputes with such distributors and providers, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation. A global economic slowdown could also adversely affect the businesses of our distributors, and it is possible that they may not be able to devote the resources we expect to the relationship.

If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results would suffer. Even if we are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in improved operating results.

Failure to effectively expand our direct sales teams and develop and expand our indirect sales channel will impede our growth.

We will need to expand our sales and marketing infrastructure in order to grow our client base and our business. Subject to our receipt of the requisite funding, we plan to significantly expand our direct sales teams and engage additional third-party distributors, both domestically and internationally. Identifying, recruiting and training these people and entities will require significant time, expense and attention. Our business will be seriously harmed and our financial resources will be wasted if our efforts to expand our direct and indirect sales channels do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue. In particular, if we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented sales personnel or if our new direct sales personnel are unable to achieve expected productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, we may not be able to significantly increase our revenue and grow our business.

If we fail to retain key employees and recruit qualified technical and sales personnel, our business could be harmed.

We believe that our success depends on the continued employment of our senior management and other key employees, such as our chief executive officer and chief operating officer. In addition, because our future success is dependent on our ability to continue to enhance and introduce new software and services, we are heavily dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified software programmers and systems engineers with the requisite education, background and industry experience. As we expand our business, our continued success will also depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified sales, marketing and operational personnel capable of supporting a larger and more diverse client base.

8

Evolving regulation of the Internet or changes in the infrastructure underlying the Internet may adversely affect our financial condition by increasing our expenditures and causing client dissatisfaction.

As Internet commerce continues to evolve, regulation by federal, state or foreign agencies may increase. We are particularly sensitive to these risks because the Internet is a critical component of our business model. In addition, taxation of services provided over the Internet or other charges imposed by government agencies or by private organizations for accessing the Internet may also be imposed. Legislation has been proposed that may impact the way that Internet service providers treat Internet traffic. The outcome of such proposals is uncertain but certain outcomes may negatively impact our business or increase our operating costs. Any regulation imposing greater fees for Internet use or restricting information exchanged over the Internet could result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of Internet-based services, which could harm our business.

In addition, the rapid and continual growth of traffic on the Internet has resulted at times in slow connection and download speeds among Internet users. Our business expansion may be harmed if the Internet infrastructure cannot handle our clients’ demands or if hosting capacity becomes insufficient. If our clients become frustrated with the speed at which they can utilize our products and services over the Internet, our clients may discontinue the use of our software solution and choose not to renew their contracts with us.

Even if demand for our kind of products and services increases generally, there is no guarantee that demand for solutions like ours will increase to a corresponding degree.

The widespread adoption of our solution depends not only on strong demand for Cloud based industrial middleware and financial services products and services generally, but also for products and services delivered via our business model in particular. There are still a significant number of organizations that have not adopted the functions represented by our products and services at all, and it is unclear whether such organizations ever will adopt such functions and, if they do, whether they will desire a solution like ours. As a result, we cannot assure you that our products and services will achieve and sustain the high level of market acceptance that is critical for the success of our business.

If for any reason we are not able to develop enhancements and new features, keep pace with technological developments or respond to future disruptive technologies, our business will be harmed.

Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt and innovate. To attract new clients and increase revenue from existing clients, we will need to enhance and improve our existing products and services and introduce new features. The success of any enhancement or new feature depends on several factors, including timely completion, introduction and market acceptance. If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire new features or platforms or enhance our existing solution to meet client needs, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

In addition, because our solution is designed to operate on a variety of network, hardware and software platforms using Internet tools and protocols, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our solution to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser and database technologies. If we are unable to respond in a timely and cost-effective manner to these rapid technological developments, our solution may become less marketable and less competitive or obsolete and our operating results may be negatively impacted.

Finally, our ability to grow is subject to the risk of future technologies. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver products and services similar to our own at lower prices, more efficiently or more conveniently, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete.

If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive advantage could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, generate reduced revenue and incur costly litigation to protect our rights.

Our success is dependent, in part, upon protecting the intellectual property we license from an off-shore entity. We rely on a combination of patents and patent pending applications, copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products and services. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may be inadequate. We will not be able to protect our intellectual property if we are unable to enforce our rights or if we do not detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our products and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products and services that compete with ours. Some license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of our licensed products may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions and foreign countries. Further, the laws of some countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. To the extent we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying and use of our products and proprietary information may increase.

9

We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and, to the maximum extent possible, enter into confidentiality agreements with the parties with whom we have strategic relationships and business alliances. No assurance can be given that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to and distribution of our products and proprietary information. Further, these agreements do not prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our solution.

We have a license agreement for the technology we use in our products and services, but our right to use the technology depends upon the continuation of the license agreement with our licensor.

We have a royalty-free license to use all of our intellectual property in perpetuity from an affiliated off-shore company that owns all of the intellectual property. Nevertheless, there are circumstances in which our licensor is permitted to terminate our license agreement and retrieve its intellectual property. These circumstances include our failure to defend infringement actions, prosecute pending and new patent and other IP applications vigorously, reimburse our licensor for certain categories of costs and expenses including insurance, litigation fees, filing fees, and indemnify our licensor against all claims arising out of our use of the intellectual property regardless of by whom such claims may be asserted. In addition, the license agreement terminates in the event we suffer certain economic adverse experiences such as a bankruptcy. The termination of our license agreement would result in our inability to conduct our business.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could seriously harm our brand and adversely impact our business.

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.

Our subsidiary Cogent has been in operation for 16 years and has never been the subject of a litigation claim for infringement or other violations of anyone’s intellectual property. Nevertheless, there is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our success depends upon our not infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may own or claim to own intellectual property relating to our industry. From time to time, third parties may claim that we are infringing upon their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon such rights. We have and may in the future obtain licenses from third parties to forestall or settle any potential claims of alleged infringement of our products and technology upon the intellectual property rights of others. Discussions and negotiations with such third parties, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, either of which could seriously harm our business.stock.

 

In the future, we may receive claims that our productsthe Company might authorize a class of preferred stock with rights and technology infringe or violate the claimant’s intellectual property rights. However, we may be unawarepreferences superior to those of the intellectual propertycommon stockholders and which might contain provisions giving them priority over the rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology or products. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering our services, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to indemnify our clients or distributors in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses, modify products, or refund fees, which could further exhaust our resources. In addition, we may pay substantial settlement costs which could include royalty payments in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses, modify products, or refund fees, which could further exhaust our resources. Furthermore, we may pay substantial settlement costs which could include royalty payments in connection with any claim or litigation, whether or not successfully asserted against us. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.

10

Our results of operations may be adversely affected if we are subject to a protracted infringement claim or a claim that results in a significant damage award.

We expect that software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Our competitors or other third parties may challenge the validity or scope of our intellectual property rights. A claim may also be made relating to technology that we acquire or license from third parties. If we were subject to a claim of infringement, regardless of the merit of the claim or our defenses, the claim could:

require costly litigation to resolve and the payment of substantial damages;

require significant management time;

cause us to enter into unfavorable royalty or license agreements;

require us to discontinue the sale of our products; or

require us to indemnify our clients or third-party service providers.  

Risks Related to this Offering and our Common Stock

Our common stock is subject to the penny stock regulations that impose restrictions on the marketability of our common stock. As a consequence, the ability of our stockholders to sell shares of our common stock could be impaired.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has adopted regulations that generally define a “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share subject to certain exceptions that are not applicable to our company at present. Our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The regulations require that prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a risk disclosure schedule must be delivered to the buyer explaining the penny stock market and its risks. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase, and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As such the market liquidity for the common stockholders. Any such class of preferred stock will be limited to the ability of broker-dealers to sell itmay result in compliance with the above-mentioned disclosure requirements.

You should be aware that, according to the Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers;

“boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics;

manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales;

the release of misleading information;

excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

dumping of securities by broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, which hurts the price of the stock and causes investors to suffer loss.

We are aware of the abuses that have occurred in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, we will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent such abuses with respectsubstantial dilution to our common stock.

Requirements associated with being a public company will increase our costs significantly, as well as divert significant company resourcesstockholders and management attention.

Before this offering, we have not been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or the other rules and regulations of the SEC oran adverse effect on any stock exchange relating to publicly-held companies. We are working with our legal, independent auditing and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and fulfill our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate controls, internal audit, disclosure controls and procedures, financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. However, the expenses that will be required in order to prepare adequately for being a public company could be material. Compliance with the various reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies will also require considerable management time and attention.

Our common stock has not traded publicly before this offering, and we expect the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

There has not been a public market for our common stock before this offering. A trading market for our common stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.

Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may not develop or be liquid. If you purchase shareshave the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock in this offering, you will paytransactions. As a price that was not established in the public trading markets. The initial public offering price was determined by us. Youresult, fewer broker/dealers may not be ablewilling to resell your shares above the initial public offering price and may suffermake a loss of some or all of your investment.

We intend to apply for admission to quotation of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board after this prospectus is declared effective by the SEC.  If for any reason our common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or a public trading market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the shares may have difficulty selling their common stock should they desire to do so.  No market makers have committed to becoming market makers for our common stock and it is possible that none may do so.

Broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Other factors that could cause fluctuations in our stock price may include, among other things, the numerous risks and uncertainties as described under “Risk Factors” and under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus. 

Secondary trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state.  If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realizereducing a loss on your investment.

We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates.

We currently do not expect to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. We may also enter into agreements in the future that prohibit or restrict ourshareholder’s ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit.

You may experience dilution of your ownership interest due to the future issuance of additionalresell shares of our common stock.

 

We areThe Company’s common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

The Company’s common stock is and will be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a capital intensive businessrisk disclosure document and we willquote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not have sufficient funds to financetrade penny stocks because of the growthrequirements of our business or to support our projected programming, marketing, sales, distribution,the penny stock rules and, personnel expenditures. Asas a result, wethe number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will require additional funds from further equityfind it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Overview

The Company was incorporated on August 31, 2011 in the State of Nevada. On March 26, 2012, the Company acquired Cogent Real-Time Systems Inc. (“Cogent”).

Skkynet is an evolution of Cogent, an established financial and industrial middleware software vendor. Cogent’s specialization has focused on providing connectivity and data acquisition to a wide variety of industrial and office hardware and software products, and then making that data available over a network using industry-standard protocols. The architecture of Cogent’s software naturally suits it for use both as a data aggregation platform at the process level, and as a data server at the Cloud level. By marrying these two capabilities together, Skkynet can effectively and securely offer the Cloud as an extension to any local process.

Cogent’s market has been primarily in industrial automation. With little advertising, Cogent has also acquired a number of financial trading companies as clients, due to the fact that Cogent’s software is both source and content agnostic. High-speed trading and high-speed industrial automation behave very similarly at the level of abstraction that Cogent’s software uses. Recently, Cogent has been working with Japanese companies to penetrate the lucrative embedded device manufacturing world. Japan is one of the largest producers of consumer and business electronics devices, more and more of which contain small embedded computers. Cogent has been working with partners in Japan to establish a name and presence in this world, with the aim of having Cogent’s software installed directly on the electronic devices, allowing the manufacturers to instantly make them network-accessible.

The Company believes that deploying its product in a Cloud environment will increase the potential applications for customers and broaden its usage and expansion into various markets including Cloud industrial middleware, Cloud financial services, home monitoring, fleet tracking, and energy usage monitoring. New applications that may not exist today but will through the new Cloud platform may also open new markets unknown to Skkynet today. However, management will carefully monitor the growth in new markets and manage each opportunity to maximize its return and minimize risks. This includes selecting specific markets with known trends to introduce its products and services and maintain a controlled release until the market has been understood and sales in the market have become significant to the Company. Only then will the Company risk new markets for its product. We must also include additional staffing at the senior management level with proven experiences and business records in the Company’s environment to implement these markets.

The expansion into new markets will require additional cash resources from sources other than those available to the Company today. Only after the Company has secured specific amounts of financing it believes is required for development of each market application enumerated above will Skkynet begin its marketing efforts.

The additional staffing will not begin until Skkynet has funded itself to finance both the staff increase and the required capital to carry out its marketing plan. If the Company is not successful in obtaining the required additional capital, it believes the present business operation will be able to sustain Skkynet’s additional costs as a public company at a minimal level.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Significant estimates were made for the fair value of Common Stock issued for services and for estimating the useful life used for depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amended current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU and determined there was no impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cogent Real Time Systems Inc. (Canada), Skkynet Corp. (Canada), Skkynet, Inc. (US). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue recognition 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606.

ASC Topic 606 prescribes a new five-step model entities should follow in order to recognize revenue in accordance with the core principle. These five steps are:

1.

Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

3.

Determine the transaction price.

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

5.

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfied the performance obligations.

Effective November 1, 2018, the Company implemented the transition using the modified retrospective method of transition. Under this method the determination date of open contracts which could affect any adjustments was November 1, 2018. The open contracts at the time period are the unfulfilled portions of the maintenance contracts. Based on the cut off treatment of the recognition of revenue on the open contracts being determined at the end of the previous period and being no changes in the open obligation requirements, the Company has determined that there are no adjustments in the value of the revenue recognized from these contracts.

The Company has four revenue streams, each of which the revenue is recognized in accordance to the five steps included in Topic 606. The revenue streams are:

1.

Sale of software direct to the end customer

2.

Sale of software through distributors and channel partners

3.

Maintenance support services

4.

Cloud services

Revenue for the sale of software both directly to end users and through the distributor and channel partners is recognized upon delivery of the software and code required for the customer to install the software.

Maintenance support services are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the service period of the arrangement. Revenue from cloud services is recognized over time (typically, on a monthly basis) as service is provided. Payments received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized to revenue when earned.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of the Financial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No 718. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost of these transactions are measured at fair value of the equity instrument issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as the expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expense and a corresponding increase to the additional paid in capital related to the stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period. The critical accounting policies and account pronouncements are an integral part of the footnotes of the audited financial statements and should be reviewed as part of our discussion of the financial results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guaranteed contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Management’s Plan of Operation and Business

 

Skkynet is a newly-formed Nevada corporation headquartered in Toronto,Mississauga, Canada. Skkynet operates two different lines ofits business through its wholly-owned subsidiarysubsidiaries: Cogent Real-Time Systems Inc. (Cogent)(“Cogent”), Skkynet, Inc. (“Skkynet (USA)”), Skkynet Corp. (“Skkynet (Canada)”). Skkynet was formed primarily for the purpose of taking theestablished to enhance Cogent’s existing business lines through the integration of Cogentcloud-based systems (“Cloud”), and its currentto deliver a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) product targeting the Industrial Internet of Things (“IoT”) market, now referred to by the terms “Industry 4.0” and future customers and integrating these businesses with Cloud based systems.“Industrial Internet Consortium”. We will also intend to expand the areas of business activity to which the kinds ofour products and services we provide are applied.

The most recent IDC forecast predicts that public IT Cloud services spending will reach $72.9 Billion by 2015. The IDC research report states that over the next five years spending on public IT cloud services will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)convergence of 27.6 percent from $21.5 billion in 2010 to $72.9 billion in 2015. While Cloud middleware systems markets are at $1.5B in 2010, they are forecast to reach $4.3B worldwide by 2017. Cloud computing middleware represents the base for development of all Cloud computing infrastructure as it supports systems integration and systems self-provisioning. Infonetics Research forecasts the overall managed security services market, including Common Platform Enumeration (“CPE”), Software as a Service (“SaaS”)nine new technologies1, and Cloud services, to reach just under $17B by 2015. In a recent whitepaper by Ovum, Cloud service adoption is reportedly up 61% from 2010how it will transform the industrial workforce2. Of the nine new technologies, several fit within the scope of Skkynet’s core technical expertise: the cloud, cybersecurity, the industrial internet of things, and 45% of multinational corporations (MNCs) already use cloud sourcing for at least some elements of key IT services.

We believe there is a steady movement of manufacturing facilities from developed countries to underdeveloped countries because of the economic advantages of lowering production costs; however, this relocation process should not be viewed in traditional frameworks alone. In the United States there is a movement from high to low-cost states such as Alabama, and, for other reasons, European and Asian manufacturers are locating their own manufacturing facilities within the United States. The tendency is to relocate physical plants while preserving the overall engineering skills, process analytics and related intellectual property and management systems at home. This geographical distinction between production and engineering requires the ability to remotely monitor these systems during operations to control processes in real-time while preserving the safety, confidentiality and integrity of the manufacturer’s process and information. Our products and Cloud-based services are designed to address these issues and concerns.

 

Although we are primarily involved thus far in the areas of industrial processing and financial services, the concepts and software underlying our existing products and services are applicable to a variety of areas including fleet tracking,energy usage monitoring and control including wind power, solar power and agriculture. Our products are modular in design and are therefore well-suited for use in OEM and embedded products. We have obtained existing clients in some of these areas, but to date we have not had the resources to pursue systematically the marketing and sale of our products and services to these industries.

Our acquisition of Cogent

 

In March 2012, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cogent from Sakura Software Inc. and Benford Consultancy Inc. in exchange for a total of thirty million (30,000,000) restricted shares of our common stock, as a result of which Cogent became our wholly-owned subsidiary. As part of the exchange transaction, we also issued 5,000 Series A Preferred share to Sakura Software and Benford Consultancy. Prior to the closing of the exchange transaction, we did not have any operating revenues. At the acquisition closing, Cogent’s business consisted primarily of providing connectivity and data acquisition to a wide variety of industrial and office hardware and software products, and then making that data available over a network using industry-standard protocols. Cogent currently markets its products and services primarily to manufacturers in industrial processes and financial services companies. Cogent had approximately $720,000$1,830,459 in annual revenues from its operations for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2011.

2021 and $1,503,483 in annual revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020.

 

Our acquisition and subsequent sale of NiC

In November 2014, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Nic Corporation (“NiC”, subsequently renamed Skkynet Japan 株式会社, “Skkynet Japan”) in Osaka, Japan from Mr. Akira Iwata, Ms. Takako Nishikawa, and Mr. Mitsuharu Sekiguchi in exchange for a total of one-hundred and ten thousand ($110,000.00) U.S. dollars and fifty thousand (50,000) restricted shares of our common stock, as a result of which NiC became our wholly-owned subsidiary. At the acquisition closing, NiC’s business consisted primarily of providing custom hardware and software development services to a variety of embedded industrial and office hardware and software products. In August 2017, NiC was formally renamed to Skkynet Japan to market and provide support for Skkynet’s products and services primarily to manufacturers in industrial processes and energy companies.

On August 1 2019, we completed the sale of Skkynet Japan back to the former owners in exchange for 22,500 shares of common stock and 272,500 options of the Company held by the former owners. In addition, intellectual property, software documentation, and source code of the Company was returned to the Company with the balance of the assets and liabilities remaining in Skkynet Japan. As part of the agreement, the name of Skkynet Japan was changed to exclude Skkynet in its new name.

Our business

 

We are an industrial middleware vendor that has specialized in providing connectivity and data acquisition to a wide variety of industrial and office hardware and software products and making that data available over a network using industry-standard protocols. We have introduced a number of innovations to our real-time data products including a high speed redundancy facility and a web-based user interface providing desk-top quality graphics.graphics, and more recently, inclusion of high speed storage capabilities. We have apatented and patent-pending technologytechnologies that addressestheaddressthe data transmission problems of data rate, latency, redundancy, and security in Cloud based systems with a unique push-pull system that insulates both a plant and a remote user from opening their firewalls to the Internet.

 

Our system can operate as a simple add-on to existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)(“SCADA”) or as the basis for new deployment. SCADA is a system that collects information from various sensors installed at a factory or other remote locations. All of the collected data is sent to a common or central computer for further processing and storage and is used to describe control processes in various industries such as water treatment, manufacturing processes, and environmental procedures.

Our financial customers are typically small to medium sized specialist trading firms or hedge funds targeting specific niches. We have customers working in risk management, futures trading, commodities trading, arbitrage, energy spot trading and other areas. Our software is used as a data transmission middleware allowing the customer’s analysts to apply proprietary algorithms to market data and then to distribute it to their clients at very high speed. Our customers in the financial sector are generally reluctant to share the details of their deployments due to competitive concerns, making sales by example more difficult.

Our products and services

The services we perform for a specific customer vary by the nature of the project and the terms of our retention. Broadly, we provide software licensing, custom development, installation support and software maintenance. The overwhelming portion of our revenue is from software licensing and maintenance.

 

Our business is organized such that we license our software under a variety of packaging and financial arrangements.

Our software is designed to be modular, such that thewith a set of more than 20 different features. We offer license packs (“Product Packs”) which represent common customer can choose from a varietyuse-cases and individual add-on licenses (“Add-ons”). The combination of Product Packs and featuresAdd-on licenses allows the customer to create the type of system that they require. There are currently nine (9) different Product Packs such as DataHub® OPC Tunneler and DataHub® WebView. Each Product Pack isfully customize a selection of different functionalities chosen from a total of 19 different available features. The customer selects the set of features it requires for its particular application, with the software licensing price determined by that feature set.solution based on their own project requirements.

 

In addition, we offer customers the ability to license our products for use as SaaS with a view to relicensing them to others with whom they do business. We also offer our licenses with upgrades in the form of an on-going maintenance program and service program for which we charge additional fees depending upon the package of services requested.

 

We offer OEM customers the ability to re-brand our software to integrate it with their own product offering. This re-branding can be “shallow” or “deep.” Shallow rebranding modifies the icons, images, name and contact information our software presents to the end user. There is no attempt to hide the fact that the software was developed by us. Deep rebranding attempts to remove all visible indications that our software is being used by the OEM customer. This requires more work and ongoing maintenance, as well as formal agreements with regard to our intellectual property.

  

Industrial automation systems require expertise to configure properly. Generally, the customer has in-house IT expertise regarding its particular process but may have limited experience with our software or the details of communication integration. We offer consulting services to assist customers in configuring their systems and our software to smoothly integrate into their processes. We provide a limited amount of assistance at no charge as part of the sales cycle. Where the customer requires more involved assistance, we offer consulting services at market rates.

As part of our expansion into Cloud services, we will provide twothree types of Cloud service: remotely hosted Cloud systems, and locally hosted Cloud systems.systems, or a hybrid of the two. In the remotely located case, we will maintain and manage the hardware and operating system infrastructure that allows users to access their industrial automation data via the Internet. We subcontract the Cloud hardware infrastructure from large, established vendors. In the locally hosted case, the customer is responsible for the hardware and data connectivity, and we will provide the software, and optionally the system administration for that software. A customer who wants a remotely located Cloud system will still be required to run some software locally. Effectively, ourOur existing on-premises software will actacts as a bridge between the plant and the remote Cloud system.system, making a hybrid implementation possible. If the Cloud system becomes unavailable due to communication outage or hardware failure, the customer’s plant will still continue to run in isolation from the remote Cloud system, simply reconnecting once the remote system becomes available again. In effect, our Cloud offering will actacts as an extension of the local process to a wide-area network or to the Internet. For reasons of speed, security and resiliency we do not anticipate that customers will accept a purely Cloud-based system for their immediate industrial automation data needs. ThisWe believe that this may change in the future as technology and market expectations change.change, as they have done in other markets that have adopted purely Cloud-based services, such as, for example, Salesforce.com and customer relations management (CRM) software. 

 

Our on-premises software is available for download from our web site, www.cogentdatahub.com.website, https://cogentdatahub.com. Our Cloud-based service is available for registration at https://skkynet.com and at the Microsoft Azure Marketplace3. A customer can install and use the on-premises software in demonstration mode for a limited amount of time, after which they can re-start the software to reset the time limit. This allows a potential customer to configure and test the software in their system before purchase, both to ensure that it will meet their needs and to determine which product features they will want to purchase. Similarly, the Cloud-based service is available to potential customers to sign up and use it for a paid trial to configure and test, as well as other service levels for full system implementations.

 

To ensure smooth implementation of our software in a customer’s environment we have organized 15approximately fifty (50) different technical partners and resellers in different geographic areas with whom we cooperate. Some of them also sell related hardware and software products of their own, and assist us in the installation, monitoring, and maintenance of our products within their customer base. These technical partners aremay be listed on our website. Ongoing, we willWe continuously seek to recruit new technical partners. We have made recent progress on partnering with world-class hardware companies such as Microsoft (world’s largest software vendor), Siemens AG (world’s largest industrial automation vendor), AVEVA Group plc (formerly Schneider Electric Software, (the world’s largest industrial software market channel) and Red Lion Controls, part of Spectris plc, (a major industrial hardware vendor, and subsidiary of Spectris plc, a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index).

 

Our service support tosupports potential and existing customers

 

The nature of our market and our sales style demand timely and thorough customer support both before and after a sale is made. Because a potential customer can download and test our software, we provide service support even before the sale is made. This supplies the customer with a no-risk mechanism for ensuring that the software will work in their system and gives us early feedback from the customer. If the customer has questions or concerns, they are answered immediately, making the subsequent sale and installation process simpler.

28

During the sales process, we work with customers via telephone or email to help them understand which product features are necessary for their projects. This starts with asking the customer to fill out a short questionnaire explaining their project needs when they ask for a cost quotation. If the customer is unsure about their software requirements, we assist by asking pertinent questions regarding the intended application and by providing clarification on the types of features they need.

 

We offer customer support via telephone during office hours, email, fax and Internet message board.board during office hours. Where appropriate, we offer live desktop-sharing sessions with customers via Cisco WebEx.video conference. This dramatically reduces the time to resolution when the customer’s network and security policy allow it. We have distributors in different parts of the world who offer support in the customer’s time zone and language. We place a high priority on support of distributors, including joint phone calls and WebExvideo conference sessions with their customers to arrive at quick and satisfactory resolutions.

Table of Contents

We incentivize distributors and resellers to develop their technical support capabilities by offering a price discount structure on software sales based on the degree to which the distributor can handle technical support requests from customers. Our goal is to have our sales occur through a combination of our direct efforts and reliance upon our global network of distributors, where the distributor provides support to the customer, and we provide support to the distributor.

 

Our marketing

 

We have a variety of marketing activities. We maintain a website at https://skkynet.com focused on general company information, updates, and press releases regarding the general operations of the business, and as an information portal for the SkkyHub™ service. We also maintain a complete library information section of blog articles, whitepapers, and industry news on implementing real-time data access over the Cloud. In 2018, we launched a Japanese version of our website at https://skkynet.jp.

Our primary means of contacting customers is through direct telephone and email contact; appearances at tradeshows, publications in recognized industry magazines and periodicals, our web sitewebsites coupled with Google advertising.advertising and marketed WebEx presentations, including joint promotions with key partners and resellers. We use Google ad-words and search engine optimization to draw the attention of customers in our market. Our web site isSome of our website materials can be technical in nature, and includesmay include live demonstrations, training videos and instruction manuals. We invite potential customers to download trial versions of our software prior to purchase.

 

We maintain distribution relationships with 20approximately 50 companies around the world, including the United States, Canada and Mexico, Europe (9), India, Japan (3), Korea, Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Union, South America and Taiwan (2).world. These companies perform their own marketing and promotion to varying degrees, using both original material and material that we provide. We continue to seek new qualified distribution partners.partners, and in 2019 we partnered with Siemens Mobility to co-market a hardware/software combined solution that includes our DataHub software,4 and we also became a Certified Technology Partner to AVEVA where our DataHub software is made available directly from AVEVA’s website for download and evaluation.5,6

 

In addition to the foregoing, we engage in the following activities as part of our marketing efforts. We maintain targeted banner advertising onhave previously retained ARC Advisory Group and Gartner to promote our new version of the OPC Foundation web site ( www.opcfoundation.org ).DataHub and the security model of our SkkyHub service. This is augmented by a quarterly publication, OPConnect,product features within ARC email publications, and ARC Forum conferences in which we place product announcements and case studies.direct client meetings are arranged. We send a monthly newsletter to an opt-in mailing list of more than 2500approximately 10,000 customers and contacts. We produce periodic press releases through a web-based press release service. We maintain LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and blog accounts for outreach to our customers and to draw attention to aspects of our software and market.

 

We write and publish case studies of successful implementations of our software. These are sometimes produced in cooperation with distributors and are occasionally published in industry trade magazines. We publish white papers on technical subjects and send them to prospects and distributors, as well as distribute them on our website and through trade magazine websites. These activities are focused on education rather than promotion.

·

Software licensing for industrial automation systems

·

Software licensing for OEM customers

·

Software licensing for financial trading systems

·

Software support program renewals

·

Legacy installation support

·

Custom integration and development

·

Monthly revenue from financial clients of Skkynet’s Vine™

·

SaaS revenue from Skkynet DataHub on Microsoft Azure

 

More than 80% of our revenues are derived from software licensing for industrial automation systems;systems, while financial trading, software support, custom development and legacy system support account for the remainder.

 

Our expenses

 

Our typical expenses are primarily incurred in the following areas: wages, benefits and contractors of which about half isare for software development; office and general; sales, marketing, advertising and promotion. In fiscal year 2011 we incurred a unique, one-time charge of approximately $350,000 for professional services in connection with the formation of Skkynet and the instant public offering filing, that accounted for approximately 35% of our expenses in that year. In future years we expect the proportion of expenses in our operating budgets allocable to the categories of programming development and sales personnel to increase as well as the expenses associated with creatingmaintaining and maintaining aimproving our Cloud-based site for our customers.

Our business plans

 

We believe that we have substantial room for growth in three primary areas of our business. The first is the expansion of our current linelines of business providing real-time data middleware to the industrial automation and financial trading markets. Second, is the deployment of our products and services through Cloud-based SaaS products. Third, is the application of our products and services to new business lines such as embedded products or combination solutions (such as our recent partnering with Siemens); where “edge-processing” is required (e.g. remote monitoring and control of assets over third party networks). We have had limited resources to apply to marketing and sales in these areas, and have nevertheless grown organically to expect approximately $1 million in sales in FY 2012.areas. We believe that this revenue can be improved through dedicated marketing and sales effort.

 

We expect the second area of growth to be in the provision of Cloud services for real-time data. This is a market that is still in its formative stages around the world, and our technology is well suited to its development. We will expand and focus our software development on modifying our existing products to provide a smoother and more secure user experience for real-time data handling in the Cloud. Real-time Cloud systems require two components – a local component running at the customer’s site, and a Cloud component running on a managed Cloud infrastructure system. Our software development will focus on improving the security and reducing the friction for users to deploy the local component on their systems. At the same time, we will improve the user experience and automation of the Cloud component to reduce the cost of management, deployment and scaling as the number of customers grows. We will rent Cloud server space from Cloud infrastructure providers such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, and/or run and maintain our own servers. Our plan is to start by renting server space and toIn the future, we may transition to our own servers as resources permit, and if there is an economic rationale to do so.

 

We recognize that not all customers will be willing to entrust some of their data transmission to a third party, or to an Internet-based server. In these cases, we will offer to deploy our software on private servers managed by the customer.customer or local Cloud infrastructure providers. These “private Cloud” systems will require IT professionals to maintain them and will further require the attention of experts knowledgeable in real-time data systems. We will offer our expertise on an ongoing basis to partially or completely manage private Cloud systems on behalf of our customers. For this reason, we are currently working to partner with Cloud infrastructure providers in other countries where there is sensitivity over customer data remaining inside those countries. In 2015, one such partner launched a new private Cloud service, iBRESS™, in Japan, and in December 2017, this partner launched a next-generation Cloud service localized to the Asian markets based on our SkkyHub™ service.

  

The third area of growth is also related to Cloud systems. For the past 1520 years, commercial activity on the Internet has been dominated by business-to-consumer or business-to-business applications. The advent of extremely low-cost and low power consumption sensors will change that, making the Internet into a viable medium for machine-to-machine applications. That is, sensors, machines, appliances and other devices will become directly-connected data transmitters, numbering in the billions. This rise of machine-to-machine communication will require the kinds of real-time data distribution that will be at the center of our Cloud activity. We believe that our Cloud services will be positioned to take advantage of the future development of this “Internet of Things.” Some examples of applications that need this kind of data access are home energy monitoring, commercial building energy management, agricultural monitoring, weather monitoring, remote seismic sensing, fleet tracking and asset maintenance.

Currently, we do not have any customers or revenuesa growing customer based in this area, so thatbut it is not possibletoo soon to foresee whether and to what extent, if at all, this aspect of our potential business will develop. However, we garnered significant industry recognition for our technology and SkkyHub™ service by winning Nokia’s Open Innovation Challenge 2015 in Helsinki, Finland. We have also garnered recognition in academia, as exemplified by the 2016 IEEE publication titled “Cloud Communication for Remote Access Smart Grid Testbeds” by Mehmet H. Cintuglu and Osama A. Mohammed of Florida International University, which concluded that “cloud communication can be successfully implemented for actual smart grid power systems test beds.”

 

These business areas are inter-related. A customer of our Cloud services willmay also needwant to install our middleware software in their plant.plant facility. Any existing middleware customer is a potential customer for our Cloud services. In effect, each of our commercial offerings will act as a possible source of sales for the others. Our goals in increasing our sales of middleware software are both to improve short-term revenue and to create a market for our Cloud services.

Cogent elected to forgo the payment allowing Real Innovations to offset future expenses against the payment. There is no ongoing royalty payment or other form of compensation from Real Innovations to Cogent under the Assignment Agreement. As a result of this license we have five U.S. patents and several patent applications pending for the real-time technologies employed in our software products. The first patent family is directed toward a system and method for providing real-time data to a web browser through use of a Rich Internet Application (“RIA”). Specifically, the graphical and networking features of RIA frameworks allow our software to provide low-latency, real-time data applications in a traditional web browser. The patent family includes U.S. Utility Patent Application Serial Nos. 8,661,092, 9,667,689 and 10,498,796, Japanese Patent Nos.

Our competition

 

We face competition from several vendors who offer products similar to ours in the industrial automation space. Some of these competitors have resources and revenues larger than ours; however, our software is compatible with their products, making it common for a customer to install software from both us and our competition in the same system. We are not aware of direct competition for our products in the financial services sector. Two companies, Tibco Software, Inc. and Lightstreamer Srl, provide software that overlaps with some of the capabilities of our software; however, to our knowledge the Cogent DataHub® isand Vine™ are the only productproducts that provides real-time, bi-directional data links between Excel spreadsheets over the Internet or on a network.

There are also a number of large industrial automation vendors who offer SCADA systems to their clients. Examples include Siemens, ABB, Emerson Process Management, Rockwell Automation, Honeywell Process Solutions, Schneider Electric (AVEVA), GE Invensys and Invensys.PTC. We view these companies and others performing similar services as potential competitors inasmuch as they have resources to link their SCADA functions to a Cloud based system; however, we are not currently aware that any vendor is doing so yet. Since these companies already have an installed base of SCADA customers whose systems can be easily connected to our software, these companies may also represent an opportunity for joint sales or OEM licensing. A number of these companies are already our customers.customers, and two are official partners (Siemens and AVEVA/Schneider).

 

There do not currently appear to be Cloud system companies organized for the purpose of hosting real-time industrial data and connectivity. One company, LogMeIn, Inc. (previously Pachube and then Cosm Ltd.), is providing cloudCloud storage services branded under Xively™ for sensor data, but we do not regard them as competitive due to their focus on storage rather than real-time collection and distribution. Cloud infrastructure companies such as Amazon, Microsoft (Azure) and Google offer pre-configured applications or computing platforms for remotely hosting a customer’s IT activities. Their primary purpose is to provide the computing substrate for the customer’s applications. As such, these companies, as presently operated, could act as suppliers of computing resources to us, not as competition. For instance, we recently became a Microsoft Partner, as we released a version of our DataHub® product that is available directly from Microsoft’s Azure marketplace website.

Board Independence

 

As currently constituted and applying the rules of NASDAQ, Norman Evans, Kenneth Jennings and John X Adiletta are the members of our Board of Directors that are independent. We are committed to eventually establishing a board in which a majority of our members consist of independent directors, as defined under the NASDAQ rules. Our offices are located at 20 Bay Street—Suite 1100, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2N8,ability to implement this goal will depend upon the growth of the Company and we occupy them on a short-term lease arrangement.our ability to attract and compensate strategic persons willing to serve in that function.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Admission to Quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board

We intend to have our common stock be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the OTCQB and the OTC Pink. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the OTCQB and/or the OTC Pink a security holder may find it more difficult to disposeCode of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Bulletin Board and the OCTQB differ from national and regional stock exchanges in that they:

(1) are not situated in a single location but operate through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and

(2) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more broker-dealers rather than the “specialist” common to stock exchanges.

The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) equity securities. An OTC Bulletin Board equity security generally is any equity that is not listed or traded on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange. 

31

The OTCQB is the middle tier of the OTC market. OTCQB companies are reporting with the SEC or a U.S. banking regulator, making it easy for investors to identify companies that are current in their reporting obligations. There are no financial or qualitative standards to be in this tier.  Issuers with securities within OTCQB Market Tier must be SEC, Bank or Insurance reporting, and they must be current in their disclosure.

OTC Pink is the third tier of the OTC market. OTC Pink is the speculative trading marketplace that has no financial standards or reporting requirements. OTC Pink companies choose the level of information they provide to investors and may have current, limited or no public disclosure.  We will provide the same disclosure for the OTC Pink as we do for the OTCQB.

To qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, the OTCQB and the OTC Pink an equity security must have one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. We expect to have an agreement with a registered broker-dealer, as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the Company listing. If it meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board, the OTCQB and the OTCPink, our securities will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, the OTCQB and the OTCPink until a future time, if at all, that we apply and qualify for admission to quotation on the NASDAQ Global Market.  We may not now and we may never qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or be accepted for listing of our securities on the NASDAQ Global Market.

Our Transfer AgentEthics

 

We have appointed Olde Monmouth Stock Transferadopted a Code of Ethics which covers the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which is administered and monitored by the Board of Directors as a whole.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) require our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our Class A common stock to file reports of their ownership and changes in ownership of our Class A common stock with the SEC. Based solely upon a review of copies of such forms filed on Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto furnished to us, we determined that no director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our common stock failed to file a report on a timely basis during the year ended October 31, 2021

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Sakura Software, a corporation owned by our operations. TheCEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Andrew S. Thomas, and Benford Consultancy, a corporation owned by our COO and a member of our Board of Directors, Paul Benford, own, respectively, 72.34% and 27.66% of the issued and outstanding shares of Real Innovations International LLC, (“Real Innovations”) a corporation organized under the laws of Nevis, West Indies. In March 2012, Cogent, our operating subsidiary, assigned all of its intellectual property including the pending patent applications for its real-time data transmission and display technology (the “IP”) to Real Innovations under an assignment of intellectual property agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”). In return for the assignment Real Innovations required a one-time payment of cash dividends$30,000 to Cogent. Cogent elected to forgo the payment allowing Real Innovations to offset future expenses against the payment. There is no ongoing royalty payment or other form of compensation from Real Innovations to Cogent under the Assignment Agreement.

Real Innovations, in turn, entered into a master intellectual property license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Cogent for all of the same IP. Under the License Agreement Real Innovations granted a royalty-free license in perpetuity to Cogent for the use and exploitation of the IP in return for which Cogent agreed to: (i) pay all operating expenses of Real Innovations incurred in connection with the continued prosecution of pending patent applications and others that may be prepared; (ii) prosecute all claims for infringement of the IP; (iii) defend and indemnify Real Innovations from and against all claims of infringement of the IP asserted by third parties against Real Innovations, Cogent or our Company; (iv) purchase liability insurance in favor of Real Innovations for this purpose. Under the termination provision of the licenses agreement, there is no unilateral right of termination. Termination may occur by mutual consent of the parities, the Company ceasing doing business, by breach by the Company or by the Company failing to maintain the license and the support to prosecute and protect the license under applicable laws.

Under the License Agreement, Messrs. Andrew S. Thomas and Paul Benford will benefit indirectly from their indirect ownership of all of the shares of Real Innovations to the extent of any such payments or other undertakings by Cogent on behalf of Real Innovations, but the exact amount of these benefits cannot be determined at this time. As of October 31, 2021, the Company has not made payments per the agreement.

Mr. Andrew S. Thomas and Mr. Paul Benford were each paid $153,882 as salary and bonus, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 for serving as the CEO and COO of Cogent. Ms. Shizuka Thomas, the wife of Mr. Andrew S. Thomas, received $46,980 as salary for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 for services as a Japanese business manager and translator.

Mr. Lowell Holden, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, was paid $55,755 during the year ended October 31, 2021 in consulting fees and bonus by the Company

Mr. Paul E. Thomas, the President of the Company was paid $153,882 for services for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

On December 20, 2020, the Company issued 11,250 options to three independent directors.

Except as described above, none of the following persons has any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction to which we are a party during the past two years, or in any proposed transaction to which our company is proposed to be a party:

Board Independence

Because our Common Stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an 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 NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

·

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

·

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

·

a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;

·

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);

·

the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

·

the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

As currently constituted and applying the rules of NASDAQ, three of the members of our Board of Directors is independent. We are committed to eventually establishing a board in which a majority of our members consist of independent directors, as defined under the NASDAQ rules. Our ability to implement this goal will depend upon the growth of the Company and our ability to attract and compensate strategic persons willing to serve in that function.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Security Holders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Security Holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Security Holders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Security Holders and have informed the Selling Security Holders of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

The sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock. In addition, any such sale or perception could make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity related, securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. If and when this Registration Statement becomes effective and we become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, we might elect to adopt a stock option plan and file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act registering the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance there under. Following the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement, the shares of Common Stock issued under such plan, other than shares held by affiliates, if any, would be immediately eligible for resale in the public market without restriction.

The sale of shares of our Common Stock which are not registered under the Securities Act, known as “restricted” shares, typically are effected under Rule 144. As of the date of this prospectus we have outstanding an aggregate of shares of Common Stock of which shares are restricted Common Stock. All our shares of Common Stock might be sold under Rule 144 after having been held for six months. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of “restricted” shares of our Common Stock, or the availability of such shares for future sale, will have on the market price of our Common Stock or our ability to raise capital through an offering of our equity securities.

The accompanyingRevenue Recognition – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements have been prepared assuming that

Description of the Company will continue as a going concern. Critical Audit Matter          

As discussed in Note 42, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining revenue recognition for its software and services, and includes the following:

·

Determination of whether software and services (including installation, maintenance support, and cloud services) are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately.

·

Identification and treatment of contract terms that may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized.

·

Determination of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation and for software and services that are not sold separately.

Auditing management’s revenue recognition was highly judgmental due to the financial statements,significant estimation required for the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcomerecognition of this uncertainty.revenue.

Skkynet operates it business through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc. (Cogent)(Canada), Skkynet Corp (Canada), and Skkynet, Inc. (USA).

In March 2012, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock both withof Cogent from Sakura Software Inc. and Benford Consultancy Inc. in exchange for a par valuetotal of $0.001 per share.

On October 31, 2011 the Company issued 9,000,000thirty million (30,000,000) restricted shares of our common stock, as a result of which Cogent became our wholly-owned subsidiary. As part of the exchange transaction, we also issued 5,000 Series A Preferred share to Sakura Software and Benford Consultancy. Prior to the closing of the exchange transaction, we did not have any operating revenues and we had nineteen million (19,000,000) shares outstanding and $8,720 of net assets. This transaction was accounted for $9,000as a reverse merger and recapitalization.  At the acquisition closing, Cogent’s business consisted primarily of cash.

Cogent’s specialization has focused on providing connectivity and data acquisition to a wide variety of industrial and office hardware and software products, and then making that data available over a network using industry-standard protocols.

Revenue recognition 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606.

ASC Topic 606 prescribes a new five-step model entities should follow in order to recognize revenue in accordance with the core principle. These five steps are:

1.

Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

3.

Determine the transaction price.

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

5.

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfied the performance obligations.

Effective November 1, 2018, the Company implemented the transition using the modified retrospective method of transition. Under this method, the determination date of open contracts which could affect any adjustments was November 1, 2018. The open contracts at the time period are the unfulfilled portions of the maintenance contracts. Based Compensationon the cut off treatment of the recognition of revenue on the open contracts being determined at the end of the previous period and being no changes in the open obligation requirements, the Company has determined that there are no adjustments in the value of the revenue recognized from these contracts.

 

The company adopted the provisionsCompany has four revenue streams, each of ASC 718 requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and the closing price of the company’s common stock for common share issuances.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue is recognized pursuant to ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” The Company recognizes its revenue from services after the services have been performed and the revenue has been received. The Company also sells products to its clients andwhich the revenue is recognized at the point of sale when the product is givenin accordance to the clientfive steps included in Topic 606. The revenue streams are:

1.

Sale of software direct to the end customer

2.

Sale of software through distributors and channel partners

3.

Maintenance support services

4.

Cloud services

Revenue for the sale of software both directly to end users and through the paymentdistributor and channel partners is made byrecognized upon delivery of the client.software and code required for the customer to install the software. Maintenance support services are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the service period of the arrangement.

 

General and Administrative ExpensesRevenue from cloud services is recognized over time (typically, on a monthly basis) as service is provided.

 

The Company’s generalPayments received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and administrative expenses consistedrecognized to revenue when earned. As of October 31, 2021 and 2020 the following typesdeferred revenue was $204,961 and $168,728, respectively.

The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries in Canada are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date while the income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the year. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analysis or estimated salvage value.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company uses the accrual basis of accounting, the same that is used for financial reporting purposes.

In March 2012, Cogent, our operating subsidiary, assigned all of its intellectual property including the pending patent applications for its real timereal-time data transmission and display technology (the “IP”) to Real Innovations under an assignment of intellectual property agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”). In return for the assignment Real Innovations required a one-time payment of $30,000 to Cogent. Cogent elected to forgo the payment allowing Real Innovations to offset future expenses against the payment. There is no ongoing royalty payment or other form of compensation from Real Innovations to Cogent under the Assignment Agreement.

 

Real Innovations, in turn, entered into a master intellectual property license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Cogent for all of the same IP. Under the License Agreement Real Innovations granted a royalty-free license in perpetuity to Cogent for the use and exploitation of the IP in return for which Cogent agreed to: (i) pay all operating expenses of Real Innovations incurred in connection with the continued prosecution of pending patent applications and others that may be prepared; (ii) prosecute all claims for infringement of the IP; (iii) defend and indemnify Real Innovations from and against all claims of infringement of the IP asserted by third parties against Real Innovations, Cogent or our Company; (iv) purchase liability insurance in favor of Real Innovations for this purpose. Under the termination provision of the license agreement, there is no unilateral right of termination. Termination may occur by mutual consent of the parities, the Company ceasing doing business, by breach by the Company or by the Company failing to maintain the license and the support to prosecute and protect the license under applicable laws.

  

Under the License Agreement, Messrs. Andrew S. Thomas and Paul Benford will benefit indirectly from their indirect ownership of all of the shares of Real Innovations to the extent of any such payments or other undertakings by Cogent on behalf of Real Innovations, but the exact amount of these benefits cannot be determined at this time. No payment have been made as of October 31, 2020.
