We have incurred significant net losses and cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitable operations, and our auditors have issued a “going concern” audit opinion.
To date, we have incurred losses since inception. During the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record any revenues due to the unavailability of our prior product offering and the anticipated shift to a new industry which is still being developed.
The Company has a history of net losses from continuing operations and net cash used in operating activities. We will need to raise additional working capital to continue our normal and planned operations. We will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we undertake increased consultancy work and acquisition activities and increase our marketing and sales efforts to drive an increase in the number of customers and clients utilizing our services. In addition, as a public company, we incur accounting, legal and other expenses that we were incurring as a private company. These expenditures will make it necessary for us to continue to raise additional working capital and make it harder for us to achieve and maintain profitability. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our increased operating expenses. If we are forced to reduce our operating expenses, our growth strategy could be compromised. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern and we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our infrastructure, further develop our marketing efforts, and otherwise implement our growth initiatives.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. At April 30, 2020, the Company has not recognized significant revenue, has a working capital deficit of $3,134,878, and has an accumulated deficit of $7,521,745. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A “going concern” opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on our consolidated balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to stockholders, in the event of liquidation.
Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available to us or not available on terms favorable to us.
The ability of our business to continue its normal and planned operations and to grow and compete will depend on the availability of adequate capital. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, or at all, to continue our normal and planned operations and to implement our growth strategy. As a result, we cannot assure you that adequate capital will be available to continue our normal and planned operations and to finance our current growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures, any of the following risks actually occur,which could harm our business.
We will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders. We may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts.
We expect to incur additional costs associated with continuing to operate as a public company and to require substantial additional funding to continue to pursue our business and continue with our expansion plans. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations. To date, we have financed our operations entirely through equity and debt investments by founders and other investors and the incurrence of debt, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale and issuance of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to our existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell and issue our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we would likely become subject to further covenants that could restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments will likely have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects.
We plan to expand our business through acquisitions.
We are actively reviewing acquisition candidates. Factors which may affect our ability to grow successfully through acquisitions include:
· | inability to obtain financing; |
· | difficulties and expenses in connection with integrating the acquired companies and achieving the expected benefits; |
· | diversion of management’s attention from current operations; |
· | the possibility that we may be adversely affected by risk factors facing the acquired companies; |
· | acquisitions could be dilutive to earnings, or in the event of acquisitions made through the issuance of our Common Stock to the shareholders of the acquired company, dilutive to the percentage of ownership of our existing stockholders; |
· | potential losses resulting from undiscovered liabilities of acquired companies not covered by the indemnification we may obtain from the seller; and |
· | loss of key employees of the acquired companies. |
Unfavorable general economic conditions may materially adversely affect our business.
While it is difficult for us to predict the impact of general economic conditions on our business, these conditions could reduce customer demand for some of our products or services which could cause our revenue to decline. Also, our customers that are especially reliant on the credit and capital markets may not be able to obtain adequate access to credit or equity funding, which could affect their ability to make timely payments to us. Moreover, we rely on obtaining additional capital and/or additional funding to provide working capital to support our operations. We regularly evaluate alternative financing sources. Further changes in the commercial capital markets or in the financial stability of our investors and creditors may impact the ability of our investors and creditors to provide additional financing. For these reasons, among others, if the economic conditions stagnate or decline, our operating results and financial condition could be harmedadversely affected.
Our management may have conflicts of interest.
Some members of our management are employed on a full-time basis by other businesses involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and
directors of our Company. We believe that none currently exist but it is the intent of the management to keep any transactions free of conflicts of interest. Management is also working on the creation of job specific tasking as well as non-compete agreements that will be deployed as possible and as related to our existing and future team members.
Our current officers and directors have other interests outside of our business and contract negotiations are still in process with them.
While we have contract agreements with our non-independent officers and directors that define these relationships in a manner that provides sufficient motivation to such officers and directors to remain an ongoing part of our business, there no assurances that these agreements will be honored. Loss of any of our members of management will have a negative impact upon our business efforts and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY
Importance of Future Prices, Supply, and Demand for Oil and Gas.
Revenues generated from our oil and gas production activities in the oil and gas industry will be highly dependent upon the future prices and demand for oil and gas. Factors which may affect prices and demand for oil and gas include, but are not limited to, the worldwide supply of oil and gas; the price of oil and gas produced in the United States or imported from foreign countries; consumer demand for oil and gas; the price and availability of alternative fuels; federal and state regulation; and general, national and worldwide economic political conditions.
Price declines may result in reduced profits.
Commodity prices have a significant impact on the present value of our operations. To the extent oil and gas price declines indicate a reduction of the estimated useful life or estimated future cash flows of our assets, our assets may be impaired.
Prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable and tend to fluctuate significantly, which could reduce the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.
Oil and natural gas are "forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertaintiescommodities whose prices are determined based on world demand, supply, and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the factors set forth herein under "Risk Factors." The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any future or developments. However, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non- reporting issuer. Further, Section 27A(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward looking statements does not apply to statements made in connection with an initial public offering.
Environmental Regulations.
The exploration, development, and production of operations, financial conditionoil and cash flows.
Government Regulation.
The oil and gas business is subject to extensive governmental regulation under which, among other things, rates of production from our wells may be fixed. Governmental regulation also may limit or perceived, could adverselyotherwise affect the market's perceptionmarket for wells’ production and the price which may be paid for that production. Governmental regulations relating to environmental matters could also affect our operations. The nature and extent of various regulations, the nature of other political developments and their overall effect upon us are not predictable.
RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Because we will likely issue additional shares of our product, resultingcommon stock, investment in a decline in demand for our product and could divert the attention of our management, having a materially adverse effect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We anticipate that all or retain key personnel, and our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel. Equally, our success depends on the ability of our management and employees to interpret market data correctly and to interpret and respond to economic market and other conditions in order to locate and adopt appropriate investment opportunities, monitor such investments, and ultimately, if required, to successfully divest such investments. Further, no assurance can be given that our key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills can be found. We have sought to and will continue to ensure that management and any key employees are appropriately compensated, however, their services cannot be guaranteed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be adversely affected.
Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our common stock that would dilute existing stockholders.
We are currently authorized to issue up to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 500,000 shares are designated as Series A and 1,000,000 shares are designated as Series B. We have issued 49,260,578 shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock and 442,700 shares of Series B preferred stock as of October 31, 2020. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock on a 10,000 to 1 ratio and the Series B Preferred Shares are converted at a rate equal to the stated value of $1.10 per share divided by the quoted price of the Common Stock on the date of conversion, subject to adjustments as a result of the reverse split. Conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock, convertible notes and other instruments or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock could cause our stockholders, including investors who purchase shares of common stock in this offering, to experience additional dilution, and any such issuances may result in downward pressure on the price of our common stock. We expect to seek additional financing in order to provide working capital to our business. Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares at any price it considers sufficient, without stockholder approval. The issuance of additional shares such issuanceof common stock in the future will cause a reduction inreduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of allthen current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.
Trading on the OTC MarketsPink Sheets may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Pink Sheets (an interdealer quotation system that is used by subscribing FINRA members) operated by the OTC Markets. Markets Group, Inc. Trading in stock quoted on OTC Marketsthese markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to our operating performance. Moreover, OTC Marketsneither of these markets is not a stock“stock exchange,” and trading of securities on the OTC Marketsthese markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stocknational securities exchange like The NASDAQ Stock Market or the American Stock Exchange.NYSE American. Accordingly, our shareholdersstockholders may have difficulty reselling any of our shares owned by them.
The regulation of penny stocks by the SEC may discourage the tradability of our securities.
We are a "penny stock" company. Our common stock trades on the OTC Market Pink Sheets and we are subject to a SEC rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income,
exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of investors to sell their shares.
In addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks". Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically 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, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale and issuance of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors not to choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and we may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale and issuance of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as our board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares of our common stock unless they sell them.
If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to prevent fraud effectively. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under
the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As a public company, we have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a penny stock. Tradingcontinuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.
We cannot assure you that we will, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
The market price of shares of our common stock may be restrictedvolatile.
The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate, or sales of shares of our common stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.
The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 500,000 shares are designated as Series A and 500,000 of which are issued and outstanding. In addition, the Company has issued 530,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred. The shares of series of Preferred Stock of the Company may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have a distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as adopted by the Board of Directors. In each such case, we will not need any further action or vote by our stockholders. One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of Director's authority described above may adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. For example, Preferred Stock issued by us may rank senior to the Common Stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may discourage bids for the Common Stock at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide our directors with limited liability.
Our Articles of Incorporation state that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for any matter in respect of which such director shall be liable under Section 78.138(7) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) or shall be liable because the director (1) shall acted or omitted to act which involves intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law; or (2) paid dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the NRS. Our Articles of Incorporation further state that the liability of our directors shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as it may be amended. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by stockholders on our behalf against a director.
Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and make a takeover more difficult to complete, even if such a transaction were in the stockholders’ interest.
Our Articles of Incorporation and the NRS contain provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control of the Company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of our stockholders.
We also are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the NRS, which prohibit us from engaging in an acquisition of a controlling interest “combination” with an “interested stockholder” unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner and prohibit the voting of shares held by persons acquiring certain numbers of shares without obtaining requisite approval. This statute has the effect of making it more difficult to effect a change in control of a Nevada company.
Our financial controls and procedures may not be sufficient to ensure timely and reliable reporting of financial information, which, as a public company, could materially harm our stock regulationsprice.
As a public reporting company, we require significant financial resources to maintain our public reporting status. We cannot assure you we will be able to maintain adequate resources to ensure that we will not have any future material weakness in our system of internal controls. The effectiveness of our controls and FINRA's sales practiceprocedures may in the future be limited by a variety of factors including:
· | faulty human judgment and simple errors, omissions or mistakes; | |
· | fraudulent action of an individual or collusion of two or more people; | |
· | inappropriate management override of procedures; and | |
· | the possibility that any enhancements to controls and procedures may still not be adequate to assure timely and accurate financial information. |
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Despite these controls, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies like us face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and can find it difficult to employ resources for complicated transactions and effective risk management. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2020 and concluded as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 31, 2020. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses our internal control over financial reporting, which are common to many small companies: (1) lack of sufficient personnel commensurate with the Company’s reporting requirements; (2) the Company did not consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of the Company’s financial reporting objectives; and (3) insufficient written documentation or training of internal control policies and procedures which provide staff with guidance or framework for accounting and disclosing financial transactions.
If we fail to have effective controls and procedures for financial reporting in place, we could be unable to provide timely and accurate financial information and be subject to investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and civil or criminal sanctions.
We must implement additional and expensive procedures and controls in order to grow our business and organization and to satisfy new reporting requirements, which will increase our costs and require additional management resources.
As a public reporting company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the related rules and regulations of the SEC, including the requirements that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures and adequate internal control over financial reporting. In the future, if our securities are listed on a national exchange, we may limit a stockholder'salso be required to comply with marketplace rules and heightened corporate governance standards. Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other SEC and national exchange requirements will increase our costs and require additional management resources. We recently have begun upgrading our procedures and controls and will need to continue to implement additional procedures and controls as we grow our business and organization and to satisfy new reporting requirements. If we are unable to complete the required assessment as to the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or if we fail to maintain internal control over financial reporting, our ability to buyproduce timely, accurate and reliable periodic financial statements could be impaired.
If we do not maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy of our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Additionally, our ability to obtain additional financing could be impaired or a lack of investor confidence in the reliability and accuracy of our public reporting could cause our stock price to decline.
Because our directors and executive officers are among our largest stockholders, they can exert significant control over our business and affairs and have actual or potential interests that may depart from those of investors.
Certain of our executive officers and directors own a significant percentage of shares of our outstanding capital stock. As of the date of this prospectus, our executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates beneficially own over 99.9% of our outstanding voting stock. The holdings of our directors and executive officers may increase further in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted, or if they otherwise acquire additional shares of our common stock. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our company’s other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:
● | to elect or defeat the election of our directors; | |
● | to amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or by-laws; | |
● | to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and | |
● | to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for a vote. |
This concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce the price of the shares of our common stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the price of our common stock.
Penny stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholders to sell ourtheir stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 whichregulations that generally defines "penny stock"define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors"“accredited investors”. The term "accredited investor"“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC whichSecurities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer'scustomer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer'scustomer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser'spurchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements that may also limit a stockholder'sstockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the "penny stock"“penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (seedescribed above, for a discussion of penny stock rules), FINRA has adopted rules that require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low pricedlow-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer'scustomer’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 pricedlow-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may experience significant dilution from the salebe realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
Potential Risks Associated with COVID-19
There has been a global outbreak of coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) which began in China and has quickly spread to many countries throughout the world including the United States and Europe. This outbreak has led (and may continue to lead) to disruptions in the global economy. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. On March 13, 2020, President Trump declared a national state of emergency under the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, which permits the use of up to $50 billion of FEMA funds to combat the pandemic, directs state governments to create emergency operations centers, hospitals to activate emergency preparedness plans, and gives the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services emergency authority to
waive certain federal regulations to allow greater flexibility to hospitals and doctors in treating patients. On March 25, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed legislation providing for approximately $2 trillion of relief to states, businesses and individuals, and such legislation is expected to be approved by the U.S. House of Representatives and thereafter enacted into law by signature of the President on March 27, 2020. The economic impact of the disease has led to extreme volatility in the stock pursuantmarket and capital markets. The Federal Reserve has recently taken emergency action to further cut its benchmark rate down to a range of between 0% and 0.25%, to inject additional funds into the short-term lending markets and to implement quantitative easing and other measures to support financial institutions, other businesses and the credit markets. Central banks in Europe, the United Kingdom and other countries are implementing similar and other measures to support financial markets. Although it cannot be predicted, additional action by the Federal Reserve as well as other federal and state agencies is possible in the near future.
Additionally, the U.S. federal government, and most of state and local governments, have adopted various emergency measures and recommendations in response to the Dorado Purchase Agreement.
The outbreak (and any future outbreaks) of the coronavirus disease may lead to exercise a put underfurther volatility in or disruption in the Purchase Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised throughcapital markets and may result in further government actions or policy decisions that may adversely affect the offering.

In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital because of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the discretionsale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, operating and financial conditions, capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts.

Overview
Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. is a growing U.S. energy company based in Frisco, Texas.
Our Business Strategy and Products and Services
The Company is engaged in the investment of mineral and royalty rights in high-probability, lower risk onshore oil and gas properties within the major oil and gas plays in the U.S. The Company’s dual-focused growth strategy relies primarily on leveraging management’s expertise to grow through the strategic investment in nonoperating working interests and royalty interests with ourthe goal of developing into a major company in the industry.
The Company is an oil and gas investment asset management firm focused on the acquisition and exploitation of upstream energy assets, specifically targeting mineral interests, royalty interests and non-operated working interests. The Company does not drill wells and does not operate wells.
The Company’s management team has a long-term track record of successfully growing and managing public companies as well as identifying and acquiring non-operated working interests and mineral and royalty interests throughout the prominent plays in the United States.
The Company’s goal is to purchase assets being operated by well-backed, top notch operators but are being overlooked by larger firms, thereby allowing the Company to aggregate and diversify its exposure to operators and geology within any particular play. Our investment targets are royalty interests in producing properties with steady cash flow and infill drilling opportunities, and non-operated working interests in proven oil/liquids plays alongside best-in-class operators. The Company’s management team has been successfully pursuing this investment strategy for many years and has played a pivotal role in the acquisition and divestiture of > $80 million deals to date.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related notesto valuation of the fair value of financial instruments, share based compensation arrangements and long-lived assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that appear elsewhere in this registration statement. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actualwe believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those discussedestimates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include the value of share-based payments. Amounts could materially change in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contributefuture.
Reverse Stock Split
On November 17, 2017, the Company effected a reverse stock split on a basis of 1 new common share for every 100 old common shares. Additionally, on February 14, 2020, the Company effected a reverse stock split on a basis of 1 new common share for every 100 old common shares. The impact of these reverse stock splits has been applied on a retroactive basis (collectively, the “Reverse Split”). All share and per-share amounts included herein have been restated to such differences include those discussed belowreflect the Reverse Split.

We could potentially use our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect, and we may incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, although we anticipate being able to obtain additional financing through non-dilutive means, we may be unable to do so. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future capital requirements and the convertible debenture, whichadequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common sharesCommon Shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. At April 30, 2020, the Company has not recognized significant revenue, has a working capital deficit of $3,134,878, and has an accumulated deficit of $7,521,745. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern The financial statements included in this Form S-1 does not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Policies Basis Of Presentation
The Company is a development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises" and has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not realizedhave any revenues from its planned operations to date.
Corporate History
The Company bases its estimates and assumptionswas incorporated in the State of Nevada on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonableFebruary 24, 2010, under the circumstances, the results ofname Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp. On May 1, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “SEA”) with Appiphany Technologies Corp. (“ATC”), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada in June 2009, pursuant to which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences, future results may be affected.
ATC commenced operations as a diversified technology company in June of 2009. The business model later refocused to a global brand protection company. This business model encompassed all areas of protecting "Intellectual Property" of global brand owners through Risk Management, Technology Innovation and Strategic Supply Chain Strategies and focuses on the management and delivery of cost-effective, collaborative and creative strategies to protect the assets of global brands.
On March 9, 2020, we changed our name to Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. Currently, the Company is in the business of oil and gas investment.
Our Present Business
The Company is a growing U.S. energy company based in Frisco, Texas, engaged in the acquisition and development of high-probability, lower risk onshore oil and gas interests within the major oil and gas plays in the U.S. The Company’s dual-focused growth strategy relies primarily on leveraging management’s expertise to grow through the strategic acquisition of non-operating, working interests and royalty interests with the goal of developing into a major company in the industry. Through this strategy of acquisition of royalty and non-operating properties, the Company has the unique ability to rely on the technical and scientific expertise of the world-class E&P companies operating in the area.
Competition
There are many businesses engaged in the acquisition of oil and gas properties. There can be no assurance that other parties will not seek to emulate our business methods and practices. Many of those companies can be expected to have greater financial and management expertise than the Company. If such competitors arise, it could have a serious adverse effect on the Company.
Revenue Generation
We intend to generate revenue by acquiring distressed owners’ assets that are operated by well-backed, top notch operators that are largely overlooked by larger firms.
Operations
Our company is headquartered in Frisco, Texas, where our executive, administrative and operational management are based.
Our Market
Advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have opened up vast amounts of acreage for domestic and oil and gas production. This has resulted in millions of mineral acres becoming potential target acquisitions.
Intellectual Property
We do not have any proprietary technology, know-how or intellectual property.
Dependence on Key Customers
We do not expect to be dependent on any key customers.
Federal Regulation and Our Business
The oil and gas business is subject to extensive governmental regulation under which, among other things, rates of production from our wells may be fixed. Governmental regulation also may limit or otherwise affect the market for wells’ production and the price which may be paid for that production. Governmental regulations relating to environmental matters could also affect our operations. The nature and extent of various regulations, the nature of other political developments and their overall effect upon us are not predictable. While we do not intend to drill or operate wells, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the federal government
Employees
We currently operate with 1 full time employees and no part time employees. We also engage consultants on an as-needed-basis to provide specific expertise and other business functions. None of our employees or consultants are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have had no labor-related work stoppages and we believe our relations with our employees and consultants are excellent.
Seasonality of Business
There is no seasonality with respect to our business or major fluctuations in monthly demand.
Environmental Matters
The exploration, development, and production of oil and gas is subject to various federal and state laws and regulations to protect the environment. Various states and governmental agencies are considering, and some have adopted, laws and regulations regarding environmental control which could adversely affect our business. Compliance with such legislation and regulations, together with any penalties resulting from noncompliance therewith, will increase the cost of oil and gas development and production.
Price Control and Possible Energy Legislation.
There are currently no federal price controls on oil or gas production so that sales of oil or gas from our operators can be made at uncontrolled market prices. However, there can be no assurance that Congress will not enact controls at any time. No prediction can be made as to what additional energy legislation may be proposed, if any, nor which bills may be enacted nor when any such bills, if enacted, would become effective.
Legal Proceedings
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
Our Common Stock is currently quoted on OTC Pink Sheets under the symbol “VBHI”, however it is not listed on any stock pursuantexchange, and there is currently limited trading in our securities.

Meetings and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors. All current members of the Board of Directors lack sufficient financial expertise for overseeing financial reporting responsibilities. The Company has not yet employed an audit committee financial expert on its Board due to the inability to attract such a person.
The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of independent directors. The audit committee's duties will be to recommend to the Company's board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements and to review the Company's accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company's board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.
Nominations to the Board of Directors
Our directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and oversee the management of the Company. Board of Director candidates are considered based upon various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, a global business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of the shareholders, diversity, and personal integrity and judgment. While we seek a diversity of experience, viewpoints and backgrounds on the Board, we have not established a formal policy regarding diversity in identifying directors.
Our Board of Directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have one director who also serves as the sole executive officer of the Company and the Board of Directors chose not to reduce to writing standards designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct. The Board of Directors believes that the Company's small size and the limited number of personnel who are responsible for its operations make a formal Code of Ethics unnecessary. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.
Nomination of Directors
As of April 30, 2020, we had not effected any material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when our board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If stockholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our Company at the address of our executive offices.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any
transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
If any Selling Shareholders wants to sell shares of our common stock under this registration statement in the United States, such person will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,” with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemption from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor’s.
Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a Selling Shareholder under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.
We are currently authorized to issue up to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 49,260,578 shares of common stock, 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock and 442,700 shares of Series B preferred stock are currently issued and outstanding as of October 14, 2020.
Common Stock
The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, property or shares of stock of the Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefore. The holders of Common Stock issued and outstanding have and possess the right to receive notice of shareholders’ meetings and to vote upon the election of directors or upon any other matter as to which approval of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or approval of the common shareholders is required or requested.
Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized, by resolution adopted and filed in accordance with law, to provide for the issue of such series of shares of Preferred Stock.
Convertible Preferred Series A stock
On April 18, 2017, the Company designated 500,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A. The holders of Series A preferred shares are entitled to receive dividends equal to the amount of the dividend or distribution per share of common stock payable multiplied by the number of shares of common stock the shares of Series A preferred shares held by such holder are convertible into. Series A preferred shares are convertible at a factor of 10,000 Series A preferred shares for one common share. Each holder of Series A preferred shares is entitled to cast 10,000 votes for every one Series A preferred share held.
Convertible Preferred Series B stock
On June 13, 2019, the Company designated 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B. The holders of Series B preferred shares are not entitled to receive dividends except as may be declared by the Board at its sole and absolute discretion. Each Series B preferred share is convertible into common shares according to the following formula: the Stated Value of $1.10 per share of Series B preferred stock divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the day prior to the conversion. Holders of Series B preferred stock shall not have voting rights.
On June 17, 2019, the Company issued 530,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, at a value of $583,000 based on the stated value of $1.10 per share, in exchange for the settlement of accounts payable of $266,523, notes payable of $990, accrued interest of $535, management fees of $33,000. The transaction resulted in a loss on settlement of debt
of $281,952. Because the Series B shares represent an unconditional obligation that the RegistrantCompany must or may settle in a variable number of its equity shares and the monetary value of the obligation is predominantly based on a fixed monetary amount ($1.10 worth of common stock), the 530,000 shares with a balance of $583,000 is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet.
In October 2020, the holders of Series B preferred stock elected to convert 87,300 shares of Series B preferred stock into 4,801,500 shares of common stock.
Additional series of shares of Preferred Stock may be issued and: (a) may have such voting powers, full or limited, or may be without voting powers; (b) may be subject to redemption at such time or times and at such prices as determine by the Board of Directors; (c) may be entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rate or rates, on such conditions and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of stock; (d) may have such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation; (e) may be made convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation or such other corporation or other entity at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments; (f) may be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of shares of such series in such amount or amounts; (g) may be entitled to the benefit of conditions and restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Corporation or any subsidiary, upon the issue of any additional shares (including additional shares of such series or of any other series) and upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Corporation or any subsidiary of, any outstanding shares of the Corporation; and (h) may have such other relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in each case as shall indemnify itsbe stated in said resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such shares of Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock of any series that have been redeemed or repurchased by the Corporation (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or that, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted or exchanged in accordance with their terms shall be retired and have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the same series and may be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a part or may, upon the filing of an appropriate certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada be reissued as part of a new series of shares of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors or as part of any other series of shares of Preferred Stock, all subject to the conditions or restrictions on issuance set forth in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of any series of shares of Preferred Stock.
The current issued and future series of preferred stock could be deemed to adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and, therefore, reduce the value of the common stock by:
• Restricting dividends on the common stock;
• Diluting the voting power of the common stock;
• Impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or
• Delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders.
Other than in connection with shares of preferred stock (as explained above), which preferred stock is not currently designated nor contemplated by us, we do not believe that any provision of our amended and restated charter or bylaws would delay, defer or prevent a change in control.
Warrants and Options
There are no warrants and options outstanding.
Governing Documents that May Have an Antitakeover Effect
Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Certificate of Designations for the Series of Preferred Stock and our Bylaws (as amended, the “Bylaws”), could discourage or make it more difficult to accomplish a proxy contest, change in our management or the acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial amount of our voting stock.
Our Articles of Incorporation provides that our Board has the authority to issue additional series of preferred stock and fix such designations, powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications thereof without further vote by our stockholders. Preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that limit the liability of our directors and officersfor monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes. Our Bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his, her or its actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him, her or it under Nevada law.
In addition to the indemnification required in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we have entered or intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors, officers and certain other employees prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange. These agreements will provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers and certain other employees for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were our agents. We believe that these provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. This description of the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions of our certificate of incorporation, of our bylaws and of our indemnification agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, each of which is attached as an exhibit to this Report.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the eventThere is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors, officers or employees as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that a claimmay result in claims for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by aany director, officer or controlling personemployee.

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the US and global economies, disruptions of financial markets, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to the Company’s operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s suppliers and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The management team is closely following the progression of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the Company. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future; therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time on our business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(b)Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value and estimated useful life of long-lived assets, fair value of convertible debentures, derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company'sCompany’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
(c)Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at April 30, 20162020 and 2015,2019, the Company had no items representing cash equivalents.
(d)Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represents amounts owed from customers for services. Amounts are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and current economic conditions. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis.
(e)Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"(“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.anti-dilutive. As of April 30, 2016,2020, the Company had 20,292,620 (2015 – 8,713,784)39,994,463 (2019 –14,502,891) potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

(f) Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Level 2
Level 3
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued compensation,notes payable, convertible debentures and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, theThe fair value of our cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consistLevel 1 inputs. There were no transfers into or out of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.“Level 3” during the years ended April 30, 2020, and 2019. The fair value of our derivative liability is determined to be a "Level 2" input. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and display of comprehensive loss and its components ininformation about the financial statements. Asinstrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of April 30, 20162020 and 2015, the Company has no items that represent2019 on a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

(i)Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
ASC 718 requires company to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricingoption pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company'sCompany’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company'sCompany’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.behaviours. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

(j)Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
As of April 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
The Company files federal and provincial income tax returns in Canada and federal, state and local income tax returns in the U.S., as applicable. The Company may be subject to a reassessment of federal and provincial income taxes by Canadian tax authorities for a period of three years from the date of the original notice of assessment in respect of any particular taxation year. For Canadian and U.S. income tax returns, the open taxation years range from 2016 to 2020. In certain circumstances, the U.S. federal statute of limitations can reach beyond the standard three-year period. U.S. state statutes of limitations for income tax assessment vary from state to state. Tax authorities of Canada and U.S. have not examined any of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, income tax returns for the open taxation years noted above.
(k)Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, Topic 842, Leases was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Earlier application is permitted. The Company has limited operations and is considered to be inadopted the development stage. For the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements.standard on May 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU allowsstandard did not have a material impact on the Company to remove the inception to date information and all references to exploration stage.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company 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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Expressed in US dollars)
(unaudited)
1.Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Verde Bio Holdings Inc. (formerly Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 24, 2010. Currently, the Company is in the business of oil and gas exploration and investment.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company is not currently determinable but management continues to monitor the situation.
Going Concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at July 31, 2020, the Company has not recognized significant revenue, has a working capital deficit of $3,599,638, and has an accumulated deficit of $8,432,292. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. The Company will continue to rely on equity sales of its common shares in order to continue to fund business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these financial statements are issued. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompany notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended April 30, 2020. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The condensed consolidated financial statements are comprised of the records of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, IP Control Risk Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year end is April 30.
(b)Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Expressed in US dollars)
(unaudited)
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
related to the collectability of accounts receivable, fair value and estimated useful life of long-lived assets, fair value of convertible debentures,
derivative liabilities, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates.
To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
(c)Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of July 31, 2020, the Company had 83,348,239 (July 31, 2019 – 3,658,450) potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
(d)Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible debentures, derivative liabilities and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the derivative liabilities are determined based on Level 3 inputs. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the periods presented. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect.

Item 17. Undertakings
(1) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted as to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by usthe registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the corporationregistrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by usit is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(2) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increases or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(3) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(4) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus and prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
