Corporate History

Formation and Business Development

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 8, 2009, under the name Pristine Solutions, Inc.

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 thorough 2015 the Company acquired various projects and corporate entities across various industry sectors in an effort to commence revenue generating operations. As a result of the transition in business focus, management teams and controlling shareholders over these fiscal periods, the Company changed its name from Pristine Solutions Inc. to Eaton Scientific Systems Inc. effective November 27, 2012, and subsequently to Eco Science Solutions, Inc. during February 2014, in order to better reflect its evolving business operations. The Company effected a 1000-to-1 reverse stock split in February 2014.

On December 15, 2015, our current management, Mr. Jeffery Taylor and Mr. Don Taylor became the controlling shareholders of the Company. Presently Jeffery and Don Taylor control approximately 16% of the issued and outstanding shares.

Effective December 17, 2015, Mr. Jeffery Taylor was appointed to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and Mr. Don Lee Taylor was appointed to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Upon this change in control, the direction of business turned to a focus on eco-friendly products and related businesses. Between 2015 and 2017 the Company worked to develop certain apps known as Herbo and Fitrix for introduction to the marketplace.

The Fitrix app was intended to keep track of users day-to-day fitness routines, dietary habits and alternative medicine intake. During fiscal 2020, the Company determined to cease support of the Fitrix app and fold in certain functionality contained into its Herbo app and suite of enterprise software.

The Herbo apps, was developed to help users find dispensary locations, view available product inventory, provide access to delivery services, as well as connect with alternative doctors to provide evaluations. Additionally, the product was architected to provide e-commerce, point of sale and supporting operational enterprise software as a service to business customers.

During fiscal 2018 ESSI acquired 100% of the shares of capital stock of Ga-Du Corporation (GD or Ga-Du)), at which time Ga-Du became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Concurrent with the transaction, on June 21, 2017, Mr. John Lewis and Mr. S. Randall Oveson joined the Board of directors of ESSI. Ga-Du offers a Financial Services Platform, bringing important enterprise FinTech technologies in-house and bringing ESSI an opportunity to expand the reach of its Herbo product suite.

GD provides financial and enterprise services to businesses and individuals, including the cannabis industry, on a programmatic or membership basis from which GD derives fees and income from enrolling companies in their financial program and providing a range of services, with respect to which GD derive fees and income on a fee-based schedule.

The primary focus of GD is providing a mobile application known as eXPO™ (Electronic eXchange Portal) which provides virtual financial and enterprise services to businesses and individuals that are challenged in the traditional banking systems, and/or require more intensive compliance than banks are willing, or able to perform and/or do not have the technical expertise or financial wherewithal in house to develop their own FinTech solutions, including accounting and enterprise management software. One such industry is the cannabis industry in where Membership relationships are formed with businesses in this industry, following a full compliance audit on the business. These services utilize the Herbo suite of software to effectively track transactional data for eXPO™ users.

On March 1, 2019 the Company and Haiku Holdings, LLC (“Haiku”), a limited liability company owned by The Rountree Trust, of which Michael Rountree, the Company’s COO at the time of the agreement, is the Trustee, entered into a Trademark Licensing Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the Licensed Marks, including and incorporating Herbo, may be used by Haiku to facilitate the Company’s business including lead generation and referral services. Further, as a result of any revenue generating business generated by Haiku, the Company shall receive 90% of the net revenue. The license remains in effect for a period of ten (10) years from the effective date of the agreement and may be terminated on sixty (60) days written notice by the Company should there be a material breach which remains uncured, or at any time on ten (10) days written notice by Haiku without cause.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company (“Reseller”) entered into a Software Reseller Agreement with respect to the Herbo suite of software offerings with Haiku (“Licensor”). Licensor is the owner of certain computer software-as-a-service offerings and related documentation that it provides to end users. Under the terms of the agreement, the Reseller desires (a) a non-exclusive license of the Software and (b) a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable and limited right and license to reproduce, market, and distribute such Software, and Licensor agrees to grant to Reseller such right and license. Under the terms of the agreement for each respective End User License Agreement (EULA) entered into with an End User, Reseller shall pay Licensor the corresponding license fee for the software usage of 10% of gross receipts from End Users. Fees are due on or prior to the 15th day of each calendar month in respect of all gross receipts received from End Users during the previous calendar month.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, the Company recorded $6,821 (January 31, 2020 - $5,973) as license fees payable to Haiku under costs of sales as a result of gross revenues generated from software sales. In each of fiscal 2021 and 2020 the Company recorded gross revenues from software sales of $52,728 and $59,729, respectively, and wrote down $9,691 of accounts receivable as uncollectible. .

Current Business, Strategy and Material Events

The Company successfully settled certain litigation in the final quarter of the fiscal year. On November 17, 2020 the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii issued an order in the action captioned In re Eco Science Solutions, Inc.

Government Regulations

Cannabis is currently a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and is, therefore, illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of cannabis has been legalized pursuant to state law, its use, possession or cultivation remains a violation of federal law. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as one that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) defines Schedule I controlled substances as “the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence.” If the federal government decides to enforce the CSA, persons that are charged with distributing, possessing with intent to distribute or growing cannabis could be subject to fines and/or terms of imprisonment, the maximum being life imprisonment and a $50 million fine, even though these persons are in compliance with state law.

In light of such conflict between federal laws and state laws regarding cannabis, the previous administration had effectively stated that it was not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical cannabis. Although they have not done so, the current administration could decide to strongly enforce the federal laws applicable to cannabis. See Justice Department Memo on Marijuana Enforcement discussed below. Any such change in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could impact our planned business operation. Because the business activities of businesses, engaged in the medicinal cannabis industry, that we may direct our customers is illegal under federal law, we may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the location services that we provide to our customers, relative to the cannabis industry. As a result, we may be subject to actions by law enforcement authorities, which would materially and adversely affect our business. Legislation is currently pending in the U.S. Congress which would reclassify cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3. If enacted into law, such change could provide a material benefit to businesses engaged in the cultivation and sale of cannabis, including eligibility for federal tax deductions, access to the banking system and generally de-criminalizing the use or sale of cannabis where it is legal under applicable state laws.

The current administration has indicated that it will closely scrutinize the cannabis industry, in particular, recreational marijuana. While we do not directly engage in the sale or cultivation of cannabis, changes in laws, rules and regulations could have a material adverse or positive effect on our business and financial condition.

Justice Department Memo on Marijuana Enforcement

Because of the inconsistencies in federal and state law, on January 4, 2018, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a memo on federal marijuana enforcement policy announcing what it deemed to be a return to the rule of law and the rescission of previous guidance documents which would include the so called Cole Memorandum. Since the passage of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970, Congress has generally prohibited the cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana. In the memorandum, the Attorney General directed all U.S. Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and to follow well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related to marijuana activities. The DOJ asserts this return to the rule of law is also a return of trust and local control to federal prosecutors who know where and how to deploy Justice Department resources most effectively to reduce violent crime, stem the tide of the drug crisis, and dismantle criminal gangs.

On April 13, 2018 it was announced that President Donald Trump had promised Senate Republican Cory Gardner that he will support congressional efforts to protect states that have legalized marijuana, defusing a months-long standoff between Sen. Cory Gardner and the administration over Justice Department nominees. Trump told Gardner that despite the DOJ memo of January 4, 2018, the marijuana industry in Colorado will not be targeted. A bill has not been finalized, but discussion has commenced to find legislation that would, in effect, make clear the federal government cannot interfere with states that have voted to legalize marijuana.⁽¹⁾

Here is now publication on this matter taken from https://globalcannabiscompliance.bakermckenzie.com/2020/01/06/the-sessions-memorandum-two-years-later/

January 4, 2020 marked the two year anniversary of the “Sessions Memorandum“ in which (then) Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded the Cole Memorandum and other Obama era DOJ guidance which essentially stated that DOJ would not prosecute state-compliant marijuana-related activity. Many saw the statement as a declaration of a new “War on Drugs.” However, a review of DOJ cases brought over the last two years reveals that the Trump Justice Department has largely adhered to the Obama Administration’s enforcement priorities.

The Cole Memorandum

The Cole Memorandum stated that federal cannabis enforcement resources would be concentrated on cases involving:

●

Revenue from the sale of cannabis going to criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels,

●

State authorized cannabis activity being used as a cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity,

●

Violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of cannabis,

●

Distribution of cannabis to minors,

●

Diversion of cannabis from states where it is legal under state law in some form to other states,

●

Drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences associated with cannabis use,

●

Growing of cannabis on public lands and the attendant public safety and environmental dangers posed by cannabis production on public lands, and

●

Cannabis possession or use on federal property.

The Cole Memorandum also stated that:

In jurisdictions that have enacted laws legalizing marijuana in some form and that have also implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, distribution, sale, and possession of marijuana, conduct in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to threaten the federal priorities set forth above…. The primary question in all cases – and in all jurisdictions-should be whether the conduct at issue implicates one or more of the enforcement priorities listed above.

In other words, so long as a marijuana business complied with state law, it would not be subject to federal prosecution unless it violated one of the Cole Memorandum priorities. At his confirmation hearing in 2018, Attorney General Barr suggested that DOJ would not prosecute state compliant marijuana activity but has left the Sessions Memorandum in place as official DOJ policy. Nevertheless, the Sessions Memorandum appears to have done little to change Obama Administration policy.

DOJ Cases

We reviewed DOJ press releases on approximately 50 federal prosecutions involving marijuana during the period 2018-2020 and did not find one that involved purely state compliant activity. In fact, almost all involved Cole Memorandum priorities – most commonly, organized crime, the use of firearms, and trafficking of other illegal drugs. Those prosecutions which did not involve one of the Cole Memorandum priorities took place in states where recreational marijuana has not (or had not yet) been legalized, such as Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia.

This review also revealed another federal enforcement priority not identified in the Cole Memorandum – public corruption in the marijuana industry. For example, one reported case involved a former Maryland state delegate who allegedly took bribes in exchange for voting in favor of a bill to increase the number of medical marijuana grower and processing licenses available to an out-of-state company. Another involved a police officer who used his official position to protect a marijuana trafficking business. One case involved a Border Patrol Agent who took bribes from a suspected drug trafficker in exchange for information about Customs Border Protection surveillance. Another involved the prosecution of the Mayor of Fall River, Massachusetts for extorting more than $250,000 in bribes from cannabis businesses in return for assistance with licenses.

In such official extortion cases, legitimate marijuana businesses, far from being prosecuted, are actually treated as victims. We did not identify any cases involving the prosecution of financial institutions for laundering marijuana proceeds. Nor did we identify any cases involving the prosecution of ancillary legitimate businesses that supported marijuana businesses by providing them with otherwise legitimate products or services.

Finally, almost all of the DOJ press releases express appreciation to state and local law enforcement and many cited the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) program, a federal multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional task force that supplies supplemental federal funding to federal and state agencies to help them disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking organizations. Such statements indicate the great extent to which federal narcotics enforcement is dependent on assistance from state and local law enforcement. As long as this remains the case, state compliant behavior is unlikely to be prosecuted, regardless of DOJ’s publicly stated policy.

Industrial Hemp

Industrial hemp is now legal in the U.S., which advocates hope could eventually loosen laws around the popular marijuana extract CBD.

The 2018 farm bill which legalized hemp including a variety of cannabis that does not produce the psychoactive component of marijuana, paved the way to legitimacy for an agricultural sector that has been operating on the fringe of the law. Industrial hemp has made investors and executives swoon because of the potential multibillion-dollar market for cannabidiol, or CBD, a non-psychoactive compound that has started to turn up in beverages, health products and pet snacks, among other products.

Currently, it appears that CBD will remain largely off-limits for ingestible products. The Food and Drug Administration issued a statement saying that despite the new status of hemp, CBD is still considered a drug ingredient and remains illegal to add to food or health products without the agency’s approval, disappointing many hemp advocates, who said they will continue to work to convince the FDA to loosen its CBD rules. The FDA said some hemp ingredients, such as hulled hemp seeds, hemp seed protein and hemp seed oil, are safe in food and won’t require additional approvals.

The farm bill places industrial hemp, which is defined as a cannabis plant with under 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, under the supervision of the Agriculture Department and removes CBD from the purview of the Controlled Substances Act, which covers marijuana. The law also “explicitly” preserved the Food and Drug Administration’s authority to regulate products containing cannabis, or cannabis-derived compounds.

The Company’s common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Commission regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Those disclosure rules applicable to “penny stocks” require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a “penny stock” not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized list disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in “penny stocks” can be very risky and that the investor’s salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in “penny stocks,” to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson with whom the investor is working and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the “penny stock” is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for its common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in its common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares.

On August 29, 2022, the last reported sales price of our common stock as reported by Yahoo Finance was $0.0002.

Record Holders

The Company’s common shares are issued in registered form. Empire Stock Transfer Inc., 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, NV 89014, (702) 818-5898, is the registrar and transfer agent for the Company’s common shares.

As of August 29, 2022, we had 71 shareholders of record for our common stock and a total of 52,957,572 shares issued and outstanding.

Re-Purchase of Equity Securities

On February 26, 2016, the Company purchased back and cancelled 1,000,000 shares of common stock for $7,500 as part of a Share Buyback program. The shares are reflected as Treasury shares on the Company’s balance sheet.

Under the stock repurchase program, and depending on market conditions, shares may be repurchased from time to time at prevailing market prices through open-market or negotiated transactions in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. To remain in compliance with item 703 of Regulation S-K the Company, whether through an open market or private transaction, will at a minimum disclose on a quarterly basis all repurchases of equity securities.

Dividends

We have never declared any cash dividends with respect to our common stock. Future payment of dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Although there are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock, we presently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in our business and have no present intention to pay cash dividends on our common stock.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

On September 1, 2012, the board of directors of the Company adopted the 2012 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”). Under the 2012 Plan, 25,000,000 restricted shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted from time to time under the stock option plan. The 2012 Plan is intended to assist the Company in securing and retaining key employees, directors and consultants by allowing them to participate in the Company’s ownership and growth through the grant of incentive and non-qualified options. Under the 2012 Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options only to key employees and employee directors, or the Company may grant non-qualified options to employees, officers, directors and consultants. Subject to the provisions of the 2012 Plan, the board of directors determine who shall receive options, and the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the options.

As of January 31, 2016, the Company had granted a total of 6,500,000 options to purchase common shares under this plan. In connection with the options granted, a total of $2,665,000 has been recorded as deferred compensation and was expensed during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 and prior.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the underlying option agreements, upon the termination of services to the Company by the consultant and the officer holding the granted options, all outstanding stock options expired unexercised 90 days thereafter. As at January 31, 2017 there are no options outstanding under the 2012 Employee Stock Option Plan. This plan will expire 10 years after its approval on September 1, 2022.

On January 1, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The purpose of this Plan is to attract, retain and motivate the officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as well as provide a means of compensation for consultants, and to promote the success of the Company’s business by providing them with appropriate incentives and rewards either through a proprietary interest in the long-term success of the Company or compensation based on fulfilling certain performance goals.

The Plan became effective and Awards could be granted on and after January 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”). Any Awards of incentive stock options granted under the Plan are granted subject to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date. If such approval has not been obtained within such twelve (12) month period, grants of incentive stock options shall be deemed to have been grants of non-qualified stock options.

Participants will consist of such Employees, Directors and Consultants as the Committee in its sole discretion determines and whom the Committee may designate from time to time to receive Awards under this Plan; provided, however, that Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may only be granted to those Employees, Directors and Consultants with respect to whom the Company is an “eligible issuer” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The designation of an individual as a Participant in any year shall not require that the Committee designate such individual to receive an Award in any other year or to receive the same type or amount of Award in any other year.

Awards under this Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of: (a) Non-Restricted Employee Benefit Plan Stock; (b) Restricted Stock; and (c) Other Stock-Based Awards. Awards granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements (which need not be identical) that provide additional terms and conditions associated with such Awards, including, without limitation, restrictive covenants, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Plan and any such Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail unless otherwise indicated in the Award Agreement.

During fiscal 2017 the Company filed two separate Form S-8’s in April and November 2016 respectively for a total of 10,000,000 shares under its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. As of January 31, 2017, a total of 9,307,953 shares had been issued under the respective Form S-8’s. This plan will expire 10 years after its adoption date, on January 1, 2026.

On June 20, 2017 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, reserving a total of 15,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance from time to time. The purpose of this Plan is to attract, retain and motivate the officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as well as provide a means of compensation for consultants, and to promote the success of the Company’s business by providing them with appropriate incentives and rewards either through a proprietary interest in the long-term success of the Company or compensation based on fulfilling certain performance goals.

The Plan became effective and Awards could be granted on and after June 20, 2017 (the “Effective Date”). Any Awards of incentive stock options granted under the Plan are granted subject to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date. If such approval has not been obtained within such twelve (12) month period, grants of incentive stock options shall be deemed to have been grants of non-qualified stock options.

During fiscal 2018 through 2021, there were no options or awards granted under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. The plan will expire 10 years from the original adoption date, June 20, 2027.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Overview of Current Operations

Results of Operations for the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2021 and 2019, the Company has generated $52,728 and $59,729 in total revenue. During fiscal 2021 and 2020 revenues include $Nil and $6,894 respectively of revenue generated from related parties, of which amount accounts receivable of $2,697 were written down as uncollectible in fiscal 2021. While we entered into certain licensing and marketing agreements in fiscal 2019 providing for fee-based income in relation to beta trials for the eXPO™ platform, we no longer expect to collect any revenue from these agreements.

Costs of revenue totaled $51,894 and $36,329 in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As at January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $4,907 and $59,310 in cash and total current assets. During the year ended January 31, 2021 the Company wrote down certain accounts receivable and prepaid expenses totaling $42,683, leaving cash on hand as our only asset.

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred total operating expenses of $1,221,002 and $1,557,564, respectively, including costs of sales of $51,894 and $36,329 in fiscal 2021 and 2020 respectively. During fiscal 2021 and 2020 the Company recorded depreciation and impairment of $1,741 and $4,423 respectively. Amounts expended on advertising and marketing reflect a reduction in expenses year over year from $49,099 in fiscal 2020 to $6,777 in fiscal 2021. The majority of the expense in 2020 included costs associated with the introduction of the Herbo enterprise software. Amounts expended on management and consulting fees were also reduced from $785,541 (2020) to $594,122 as certain management contracts were not renewed on expiry. Amounts incurred for accounting, audit and legal fees decreased period over period as a result of a decline in legal costs from $425,741 in fiscal 2020 to $340,732. During fiscal 2021 and 2020 research and development fees incurred were $153,275 and $157,837 respectively. Costs for research and development remained constant over these fiscal years. Other operating and general and administrative expenses were reduced year over year from $98,594 in fiscal 2020 to $72,463 in fiscal 2021 relative to amounts paid to maintain our public listing, rent, travel and other costs.

The Company recorded cumulative interest expense of $258,795 and $249,962 in respect of certain convertible notes and other loan agreements, respectively during fiscal 2021 and 2020. During fiscal 2020 the Company recorded bad debt of $127,833 with respect to a loan receivable which remained uncollected with no comparable expense if fiscal 2020. In fiscal 2021, the Company recorded net income from litigation of $1,337,252 with no comparable expense in fiscal 2020. Other income recorded in fiscal 2020 totaled $9,000 with no comparable other income recorded in fiscal 2021. Other expenses in the year ended January 31, 2021, included impairment of certain intangible assets of $16,500 with no comparable expense in the prior comparative year ended January 31, 2020.

The net loss in fiscal 2021 totaled $106,317, as compared to $1,866,630 in fiscal 2020, largely in part due to the income from litigation.

The Company used net cash in operations of $388,295 and $787,142 respectively during the twelve-month periods ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, recorded $Nil in both years as net cash used for investing activities and received cash from financing activities of $390,325 and $788,410, predominantly as a result of certain notes payable, as well as proceeds from related party loans.

Plan of Operation

The Company changed the focus of its business at the close of fiscal 2016 to operate in the eco friendly technology sector using social media sites and offering apps to generate advertising revenues and download fees, and to development certain enterprise software for the cannabis industry. During fiscal 2017 the Company laid the groundwork for income generation from these services by investing in ongoing development of its applications, websites and visibility in both the local and global market. The Company has invested heavily in advertising to allow its applications and ecommerce website visibility on a global stage. During fiscal 2018 we further added to our business portfolio with the acquisition of Ga-Du corporation and the entry into a licensing and marketing agreement that should see the Company generating revenues future fiscal periods. A series of beta tests on the eXPO^TM platform between March and October 2018 generated revenues of $28,431 for the benefit of ESSI, however, the Company has been unsuccessful in collecting these amounts to date and does not expect to continue with collection actions.

Fiscal 2020 brought our first revenues from our Herbo enterprise software and we expect to see increasing revenues from this suite of services as we focus on marketing to a larger client base. The Company’s need for ongoing capital by way of loans, sale of equity and/or convertible notes is expected to continue during the current fiscal year until we can establish substantive revenues from operations to cover all operational overhead. We have also had to rely heavily on loans from related parties in our most recently completed fiscal year as we work to have our shares returned for quotation to the OTCMarkets QB. There are no assurances additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or that this equity line will be available to us when needed.

Future funding could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Any future funding might require the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.

Going Concern

These 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. The Company has not generated significant revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at January 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $10,640,399 and an accumulated deficit of $73,154,399 The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has waned in 2022, COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on the Company going forward. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may severely impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and to pursue certain planned business activities. The Company may be required to cease operations if it is unable to finance its’ operations. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report and is highly uncertain and subject to change. Management is actively monitoring the situation but given the potential ongoing evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its operations or financial condition in the next 12 months. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to meet its obligations, raise funds or continue to implement its planned business objectives to obtain profitable operations.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2021, the Company had total current assets consisting of cash of $4,907, and total current liabilities of $10,645,306. The Company has limited financial resources available outside loans from its officers and directors and funds it has obtained through use of convertible notes and loans from related parties. While the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement to sell up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock, we have been unable to obtain any funding under this agreement in the most recently completed fiscal year and the agreement has been abandoned There can be no guarantee the Company will receive proceeds from loans, related party advances or convertible notes sufficient to meet its ongoing operational overheads as we continue to implement our business plan. While we generated modest revenue in fiscal 2021, we do not yet have resources to meet our operational shortfalls. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. As noted, additional working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private placements, additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, directors or stockholders), or from other available funding sources at market rates of interest, or a combination of these. The ability to raise necessary financing will depend on many factors, including the nature and prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market conditions prevailing at the time financing is sought. During the most recently completed fiscal year management has obtained additional funding with success, however there is no guarantee we will be able to continue to obtain financing if and when required. The current economic downturn may make it difficult to find new capital sources for the Company should they be required.

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on related party and third-party loans and equity sales of our common shares and/or shares for services rendered in order to continue to fund our business operations in the event of ongoing operational shortfalls. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any of additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our research and development activities.

Revenue

During fiscal 2020 we commenced operation of our Herbo enterprise software suite. The Herbo enterprise software is a customizable, all-in-one business software (SaaS) and resource for businesses in the Cannabis and Hemp industries. Herbo provides the software, custom web development, operational training and support needed to plan and manage your Marijuana or CBD business. During fiscal 2021 and 2020 we recorded gross revenues of $52,728 and $59,729, respectively, in respect to the licensing of the software.

Cost of Revenue

Costs of revenue consist of the direct expenses incurred to generate revenue. Such costs are recorded as incurred. Our cost of revenue consists primarily of fees associated with the operational charges related to our Herbo enterprise software. During fiscal 2021and 2020 we incurred costs of sales of $51,894 and $36,329, respectively with respect to the licensing of our Herbo software suite. In the case of revenue earned by our wholly owned subsidiary, proceeds allocated to our revenue interest are net of associated costs.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company”, the Company is not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. The Company believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of the Company’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of its consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 long-lived assets 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.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and were $6,777 during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and $49,099 in the same period ended January 31, 2020. Advertising and marketing costs include costs incurred with the marketing of our Herbo Software including ad placement and other mainstream marketing efforts.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

$52,728 and $59,729 has been recognized as revenue in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue generated under enterprise software licenses will be recorded in accordance with the terms of the individual Customer contracts. We expect license fees will be recorded on a monthly basis over the term of the contract, activation fees will be earned upon completion of set up and installation of the enterprise software, and customization and/or professional consulting services will be earned as rendered.

While the Company entered into an LMMA under which we are entitled to fee-based revenue on a profit-sharing basis from a financial services platform known as eXPO^TM, the Company has determined that when recording its revenue, the monthly income is not clearly determinable until the fees are actually paid to the Company by AFN. As at October 31, 2018 and January 31, 2021, fees payable by AFN for the period May through October 2018 as reconciled in commission reports received from AFN have not been received by the Company. While reports from AFN indicated an amount of $28,431 (10% of net revenue generated by Colorado Business) payable to Ga-Du Corporation as at January 31, 2021, the Company determined the funds are uncollectible and has not recorded any associated revenue.

Cost of Revenue

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, using the fair value method. 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. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Convertible Debt and Beneficial Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

Stock Settled Debt

In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of January 31, 2021, and January 31, 2020, $248,432 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes is included in the Convertible note, net account under balance sheet.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. The Company does not expect the adoption of any other pronouncements to have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Eco Science Solutions, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Eco Science Solutions, Inc. as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

ECO SCIENCE SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Organization and nature of business

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 8, 2009 under the name Pristine Solutions, Inc. On January 8, 2014, the Company changed its name from Pristine Solutions, Inc. to Eco Science Solutions, Inc.

On June 21, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of capital stock of Ga-Du Corporation (“Ga-Du”), at which time Ga-Du became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Ga-Du offers a Financial Services Platform, as well as Inventory Control and Advisory Software Platforms, and Retail Inventory Control, bringing important enterprise technologies in-house and bringing ESSI an opportunity to expand the reach of its Herbo branding.

On January 28, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Haiku Holdings, LLC, wherein the Company purchased an enterprise software platform, coupling the Company’s consumer engagement applications and e-commerce platform to this proprietary enterprise accounting, inventory management, customer relationship management, and overall business operations, of which was developed by Haiku Holdings, LLC. The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement are such that ESSI shall deliver to the Seller and/or it’s assigns an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock

Going Concern

These audited 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. The Company has not generated significant revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at January 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $10,640,399 and an accumulated deficit of $73,154,399. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company going forward. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may severely impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and to pursue certain planned business activities. The Company may be required to cease operations if it is unable to finance its’ operations. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak will continue to evolve and is highly uncertain and subject to change. Management is actively monitoring the situation but given the potential evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its operations or financial condition in the next 12 months. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to meet its obligations, raise funds or continue to implement its planned business objectives to obtain profitable operations.

The audited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Principals of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eco Science Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ga-Du Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

F-7

Use of Estimates

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.

Technology, licensing rights and software (Intangible assets)

Technology, licensing rights and software are recorded at cost and capitalized. These costs are reviewed for impairment at a minimum of once per year or whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest a need for evaluation. The Company recorded impairment of intangible assets of $16,500 and $0 during the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Convertible Debt and Beneficial Conversion Features

Stock Settled Debt

In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, $248,432 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes is included in the Convertible note, net account under balance sheet. (see Note 10).

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning 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 income (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.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as summarized above for the year ended January 31, 2021. We do not expect that the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Under the terms of the Order, the SEC has ordered a public hearing before the SEC. The Company is required to respond to the allegations in the Order within ten (10) days of service and shall conduct a prehearing conference within fourteen (14) days of service either in person, telephonically or by other remote means. The Company has filed a response as of August 26, 2022 and expects to be fully current in its public reporting obligations no later than September 30, 2022.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of January 31, 2021, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is 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.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2021. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of January 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of January 31, 2021:

1) Recently established audit committee with two members consisting of our Ombudsman and Chairman of the Board, as the sole independent member. These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;

2) Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

As of January 31, 2021, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of our evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.

Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permits. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended January 31, 2021, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered, as identified, in all material respects.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and intrinsic to our small size. Management also believes that these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On February 1, 2019, the lead plaintiff, Mr. Richard Raschke, a purported shareholder of the Company, filed an amended consolidated class action complaint against the Company, the Taylors, and Mr. Gannon Giguiere in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Class Action”). The Class Action arose out of alleged materially false and misleading statements or omissions from SEC filings and/or public statements by or on behalf of Company. On September 22, 2020, the Court administratively terminated the case.

On September 10, 2018 the Company received a Letter of Summons and Notice of Complaint from Wendy Maguire, Vice President of Business Development for Ga Du Corporation, filed in the United States District Court from the Western District of Washington on September 4, 2018 and naming the Company, its subsidiary Ga Du Corporation and two of the Company’s officers as Defendants. The Claims filed under the Complaint include payment of accrued and unpaid wages, legal fees and damages. The Company has filed its Answer. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on March 14, 2019 on her statutory claim for unpaid wages and on her claim for breach of employment contract. The motion has been fully briefed. On May 13, 2020, plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment as to the personal liability of corporate officers of ESSI and Ga-Du under the Washington Wage Rebate Act was Granted. Corporate officers of ESSI and its subsidiary Ga-Du are jointly and severally liable (along with ESSI and its wholly-owned subsidiary Ga-Du) for $240,000 in unpaid wages, another $240,000 in exemplary damages, attorney’s fees, and prejudgment interest. Defendants’ cross-motions regarding personal liability was denied. A total of $746,501 is reflected as a liability on the Company’s balance sheets in respect to this judgment. Subsequent to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 the Company’s CEO Mike Rountree commenced settlement payments to Ms. Maguire. As at the date of this report the judgement has been settled in full.

On August 17, 2022, the Company became aware of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing (the “Order”) Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, File No. 3-20971, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Under the terms of the Order, the SEC has ordered a public hearing before the SEC. The Company is required to respond to the allegations in the Order within ten (10) days of service and shall conduct a prehearing conference within fourteen (14) days of service either in person, telephonically or by other remote means. The Company has filed a response as of August 26, 2022 and expects to be fully current in its public reporting obligations no later than September 30, 2022.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company has an audit committee consisting of two members including Mr. Carl Mudd as our sole independent director, and Mr. S. Randall Oveson. We are not a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors.

Each of Mr. Carl Mudd, and Mr. S. Randall Oveson are a “financial expert” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Company has no nominating or compensation committees at this time. The entire Board participates in the nomination and audit oversight processes and considers executive and director compensation. Given the size of the Company and its stage of development, the entire Board is involved in such decision-making processes. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Code of Ethics applies to directors and senior officers, such as the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller, and persons performing similar functions.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% percent of our equity securities (“Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on our review of copies of such reports and representations from the Reporting Persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, each of Mr. Michael Rountree, Mr. Jeffrey Taylor, Mr. Don Taylor, Mr. and Mr. S. Randall Oveson were delinquent in filing one (1) Form 4, and Mr. Carl Mudd is delinquent in filing his Form 3.

Equity Compensation Plan

The 2012 Plan was intended to assist the Company in securing and retaining key employees, directors and consultants by allowing them to participate in the Company’s ownership and growth through the grant of incentive and non-qualified options.

There are no options presently outstanding under this plan.

2016 Equity Incentive Plan

On January 1, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) with a term of ten (10) years. The purpose of this Plan is to attract, retain and motivate the officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as well as provide a means of compensation for consultants, and to promote the success of the Company’s business by providing them with appropriate incentives and rewards either through a proprietary interest in the long-term success of the Company or compensation based on fulfilling certain performance goals.

The Plan became effective and Awards may be granted on and after January 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”). Any Awards of incentive stock options granted under the Plan are granted subject to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date.

Report to Shareholders by Ombudsman

The Ombudsman was appointed by the Court on December 3, 2020. The Ombudsman’s duties and responsibilities as Ombudsman are set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement (the “Stipulation”) entered into by the Company and the derivative plaintiffs on September 21, 2020, and finally approved by the Court on December 3, 2020 in its Final Order.

The Ombudsman is writing to report on the status as of January 31, 2021 of certain corporate governance reforms (the “Governance Reforms”) contemplated by the Stipulation as well as other actions taken pursuant to the Stipulation.

As of January 31, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company”) accepted the resignations of Jeffrey Taylor as Chairman of the Board and Don Taylor as Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Board. Also, pursuant to the Stipulation shares obtained from certain Shareholders were returned to the treasury and cancelled. The Board also authorized the cancellation of $1,500,000 in debt. Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Board authorized the issuance of stock and debt to the plaintiffs’ counsel in the Shareholder Derivative Action.

The Stipulation set out certain Corporate Governance Reforms to be implemented over time unless the Ombudsman determines that it would be financially impracticable or contrary to the Company and its shareholders’ best interests to attempt to implement particular elements of the Governance Reforms at that time.

In this regard, the Stipulation stated that priority should be given to recruiting two new independent directors to reconstitute the Board and to securing D&O Insurance. It was left up to the Ombudsman to determine if and when the Company purchases D&O Insurance based on cost considerations, benefits to the Company of having insurance, protecting the interests of the Company’s shareholders, and any other relevant considerations as determined by the Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman did attempt to secure D&O insurance and obtained bids for D&O insurance. As of January 31, 2021, the cost quoted to purchase even limited D&O Coverage was significantly higher than the cash available to the Company making it impossible to purchase any coverage. Furthermore, given the lack of trading in the stock, it seemed unlikely that D&O Insurance would directly benefit the Company’s shareholders. For these reasons, the Ombudsman determined that procuring D&O Insurance at this time was not feasible and contrary to the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

The Ombudsman began the process of identifying qualified independent Board members to potentially join the Board however, given the financial condition of the Company and the inability to secure D&O Insurance, he determined that successfully recruiting new Independent Board Members at this time would not be feasible. As a substitute, the Ombudsman determined to have Mr. Oveson continue in his role of director and was able to do so by having the Company agree to Indemnify him. All Board members including Mr. Oveson agreed to continue as Board members and assist the Company in its efforts to continue its business and to obtain listing and trading of its stock.

As of January 31, 2021, the primary source of funding came from personal contributions made by current officers, which was used to fund operations and to pay for Corporate Governance Reforms including the hiring of the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman stands ready to implement additional specific Corporate Governance Reforms if and when funds become available to the Company and to the extent doing so is determined to be in the best interests of the Company and of its shareholders.
