Share Price & Shareholder Rights6 | 33.3%

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1

"Penny Stock" rules may make buying or selling our securities difficult which may make our stock less liquid and make it harder for investors to buy and sell our shares.

Trading in our securities is subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules and we anticipate that trading in our securities will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules for the foreseeable future. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to execute the transaction. 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 with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements may discourage broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our securities and consequently adversely affect the market price for our securities.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2

Existing and prospective shareholders may experience significant dilution if we enter into a business combination with a private concern or public company and issue securities to shareholders of such private company.

Our business plan contemplates that we may acquire other companies or assets. As a result, we may enter into a business combination with a private concern or public company that, depending on the terms of merger or acquisition, may result in us issuing securities to shareholders of any such private company. The issuance of previously authorized and unissued shares of common stock would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by our present and prospective shareholders and may result in a change in control or management of our Company.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3

One of our shareholders and our sole director, Jueane Thiessen, controls 51.42% of our shares of common stock as of September 28, 2016, and she may not vote her shares in a manner that benefits minority shareholders.

One of our shareholders and our sole director, Jueane Thiessen, owns a significant percentage of our voting stock. As a result, Ms. Thiessen is able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible to complete without the support of Ms. Thiessen. In addition, Ms. Thiessen may not have an interest in fully promoting the sale of our common stock if such sales would reduce the opportunity for her to sell her own shares at any time in the future.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4

Our common stock has experienced in the past, and is expected to experience in the future, significant price and volume volatility, which substantially increases the risk that our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at or above the price that they paid for the shares.

Because of the limited trading market for our common stock, and because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so. From June 1, 2015 and through May 31, 2016, our common stock was sold and purchased at prices that ranged from a high of $1.34 to a low of $0.022 per share. An inability for our stockholders to sell their shares in a rapidly declining market as a result of the illiquidity in our stock may substantially increase their risk of loss because the price for our common stock may suffer greater declines due to its price volatility. The price of our common stock that will prevail in the market may be higher or lower than the price that our stockholders pay. Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following: - Variations in our quarterly operating results;- Development of a market in general for our products and services;- Changes in market valuations of similar companies;- Announcement by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;- Loss of a major customer or failure to complete significant transactions;- Additions or departures of key personnel; and - Fluctuations in stock market price and volume. Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and stocks quoted on the Over-The-Counter, or OTC in particular, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying companies. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. Over the past few months, there have been periods of significant increases in trading volume of our common stock during which the price of our stock has both increased and decreased. The historical trading of our common stock is not necessarily an indicator of how it will trade in the future and our trading price as of the date of this annual report does not necessarily portend what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future. Moreover, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of the common stock of those companies. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on investments in our stock.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5

Our directors have the right to authorize the issuance of preferred stock and additional shares of our common stock.

Our directors, within the limitations and restrictions contained in our articles of incorporation and without further action by our stockholders, have the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to fix the number of shares and the relative rights, conversion rights, voting rights, and terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and any other preferences, special rights and qualifications of any such series. We have no intention of issuing preferred stock at the present time. Any issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock. Should we issue additional shares of our common stock at a later time, the ownership interest of each of our current stockholders would be proportionally reduced. Our stockholders do not have any preemptive right to acquire additional shares of our common stock, or any of our other securities.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTC, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Accounting & Financial Operations3 | 16.7%

Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1

As a result of being a public company, we will incur increased costs that will adversely affect our liquidity and increase the risk that we will become insolvent.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company associated with public company reporting requirements. We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. The costs that we will incur as a result of being a public company will adversely affect our already limited liquidity, making it difficult for us to proceed with our business development plans and increasing the risk that we will become insolvent. We may never become profitable. You may lose your entire investment.

Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2

The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015, includes an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern and, if we cannot continue to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail operations and may ultimately cease to exist.

Our audited financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015 reflect a cumulative net loss of $1,517,210. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. However, our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue our business. The independent auditor's report for the year ended May 31, 2016 includes an explanatory paragraph to the audit opinion stating that we have a working capital deficiency, an accumulated deficit and operating cash flow deficit that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued operations are contingent on our ability to raise additional capital and obtain financing and success in future operations. If we do not acquire sufficient additional funding or alternative sources of capital to meet our working capital, we may have to substantially curtail our operations and business plan. To meet our future obligations, from time to time, we intend to issue debt or shares of our common stock or other equity instruments such as warrants.

Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 3

We have a limited operating history and may never achieve or sustain profitable operations.

We have a short operating history and have not been profitable since our incorporation in June 2004. Even if we obtain future revenues sufficient to expand operations, increased operational or marketing expenses could adversely affect our liquidity. The limited extent of our assets and revenues, and our limited operating history make us subject to the risks associated with start-up companies, including potentially negative cash flows. We have no significant assets or financial resources. Our lack of operating history makes it very difficult for you to make an investment decision. We may never become profitable. You may lose your entire investment.

Debt & Financing1 | 5.6%

Debt & Financing - Risk 1

We have limited cash which we anticipate will be insufficient to fund our plan of operations for the twelve months ending May 31, 2017 and if we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail and stockholders may lose their entire investment.

We have limited capital reserves to finance expansion or to protect us from a downturn in business. We currently do not have sufficient cash to fund operations for the forthcoming next twelve months ending May 31, 2017. We will need to continue to raise additional funds to fully fund our operations for the next twelve month period beginning June 1, 2016. Additional financing may come in the form of an offering of common shares, borrowing from a bank or one of our directors, or from revenues generated by our current or new business. If additional shares are issued to raise capital, our existing stockholders will suffer a dilution of their stock ownership and the value of our outstanding shares may fall. If we borrow more money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. We have no commitments for additional financing and there can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed, or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to change our planned business strategies. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our products and services. As a result, we would need to curtail business operations which would have a material negative effect on operating results, the value of our outstanding stock is likely to fall, and our business may fail causing our stockholders to lose their entire investment.

Production

Total Risks: 4/18 (22%)Above Sector Average

Manufacturing1 | 5.6%

Manufacturing - Risk 1

Equipment loss or malfunctions and telecommunication service interruptions or delays may adversely affect our ability to provide our products and services.

Our business is highly dependent on our computer and telecommunications equipment and software systems for the operation and quality of our services. The temporary or permanent loss of all or a portion of these systems, including as a result of physical damage or operating malfunction, or significant replacement delays, could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any interruptions, delays or capacity problems experienced on the Internet or with telephone services could adversely affect our ability to provide our products and services.

Employment / Personnel2 | 11.1%

Employment / Personnel - Risk 1

Our sole director, Jueane Thiessen, also serves as one of our officers. This interrelationship may create a conflict of interest that might be detrimental to us.

Currently, our sole director, Jueane Thiessen, is also one of our officers, serving as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, and President. Because Ms. Thiessen is the only director, there exists a potential future conflict of interest regarding the decision to remove our officers or appoint new officers. Our directors and officers will deal with any such conflicts of interest, should they arise, in accordance with our Corporate Code of Ethics and applicable corporate law principles.

Employment / Personnel - Risk 2

We depend on our officers and directors to perform our business activities and our ability to recruit and retain the qualified individuals needed to operate and develop our business is unknown.

We rely on our officers and directors to perform many of our business activities. Currently, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer, and President, Jueane Thiessen, personally performs most of our accounting and financial management functions, and liases with external contractors who provide additional programming and consulting services. Ms. Thiessen is also involved in carrying out our sales activities. On August 31, 2016, Michael E. Valera was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Valera will perform most of our management functions, and also build and lead the senior executive team, and set our vision and strategy. Our present management structure, although adequate for the early stage of our operations, will likely have to be significantly augmented as our operations expand. Our future success will depend in part on the services of our key personnel and, additionally, on our ability to identify, hire and retain additional qualified personnel. There is intense competition for qualified management, marketing, accounting, and sales personnel in our new business line: marketing mobile application solutions. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain the personnel needed to operate and develop our business. Because we rely on our officers and directors to perform our sales, accounting, and financial management activities, failure to attract and retain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us.

Costs1 | 5.6%

Costs - Risk 1

We do not carry any insurance and we may be subject to significant lawsuits which could substantially increase our expenses.

We do not carry any insurance. There are a number of occurrences that could adversely affect our financial condition. These include damage to our assets, financial records, or other property by fire or water, as well as any successful lawsuits against us involving recovery of damages arising out of our contractual, legal, or other duties. Should such an uninsured loss occur, our costs may substantially increase which would lower our overall profitability, if any.

Trade Secrets1 | 5.6%

Trade Secrets - Risk 1

We do not own patents on our products and, if other companies copy our products, our revenues may decline which may result in a decrease in our stock price.

We do not own patents on our products we have developed and we do not currently intend to file for patent protection on those products. Therefore, another company could recreate our products and could compete against us, which would adversely affect our revenues.

Legal & Regulatory

Total Risks: 1/18 (6%)Below Sector Average

Regulation1 | 5.6%

Regulation - Risk 1

Amendments to telecommunications regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business by increasing the cost of our operations or the costs that customers must incur to use our products and services.

We use telecommunications services to deliver our online software licensing and programming services to customers. In addition, our customers typically require telecommunications systems to use our products and services. The telecommunications industry is subject to regulatory control. Any amendments to current regulations in any jurisdiction where we operate or where our customers conduct business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and prospects. If amendments to regulations increase the cost of using telecommunications services, our operating expenses may increase. Additionally, if regulatory amendments increase the cost that our customers must incur to use our services, we may experience difficulty attracting new customers or retaining existing customers.

Total Risks: 1/18 (6%)Below Sector Average

Sales & Marketing1 | 5.6%

Sales & Marketing - Risk 1

Substantially all of our revenue has been derived from short-term contract engagements. If these customers do not enter into additional contracts with us, you may lose your entire investment because we may be unable to obtain new revenues that generate sufficient cash to meet our obligations.

Our contracts with our current customers are short-term in nature and there is no guarantee that we will enter into new contracts and receive additional revenues from these customers in the future. We anticipate that we will rely on a small number of short-term engagements and customers for at least the next 12 months. Our existing customers and/or new customers may not provide us with sufficient levels of revenue to generate profits or even to sustain operations. We may not be able to replace the revenues generated by any existing customer that chooses not to enter into additional contract engagements with us.

Macro & Political

Total Risks: 1/18 (6%)Below Sector Average

Capital Markets1 | 5.6%

Capital Markets - Risk 1

We may be subject to foreign currency fluctuation and such fluctuation may adversely affect our financial position and results.

Our main office is currently located in Canada and we pay most of our expenses in United States dollars. However, our target market is global. We may enter into contracts that require customers to pay us in currencies other than United States dollars. Therefore, our potential operations make us subject to foreign currency fluctuation. We do not make investments that offset the risk of adverse foreign currency fluctuations and we may suffer increased expenses and overall losses as a result.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?

Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment.

They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result.

It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.

How do companies disclose their risk factors?

Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process.

Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”.

Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report.

According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.

How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?

Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing.

You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector.

Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements.

A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
