For The Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2017
(Expressed in US dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Gripevine, Inc. (formerly Baixo Relocation Services, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 7, 2014. The Company operated as a relocation service provider for clients moving to the State of Goa, India and ceased this business and engaged in developing and building an online resolution platform after the Share Exchange Agreement as explained in the subsequent paragraphs. The Company's fiscal year-end is February end.
MBE Holdings Inc. (“MBE”) was incorporated as a limited liability company on April 13, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. MBE is engaged in research and development activities to offer an online complaint resolution platform for consumers and business, including ratings, reviews and polling’s. As such, its efforts to date have been devoted in building technology that enables access to this market through the development of a tangible product.
As explained in Note 7 to the condensed combined financial statements, on February 28, 2017, the Company and MBE and the shareholders of MBE who collectively own 100% of MBE entered into and consummated transactions pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to issue to the MBE shareholders an aggregate of approximately 5,248,626 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001, in exchange for 100% of equity interests of MBE held by the MBE shareholders. As a result of the share exchange, MBE became a wholly owned subsidiary of Gripevine.
As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the acquisition transaction has been accounted for as a common control transaction in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Common control transactions). The Company has evaluated the guidance contained in ASC 805 with respect to the combinations among entities or businesses under common control and conclude that since the majority shareholder of the Company and MBE are same, therefore, this is a common control transaction and do not result in a change in control at the ultimate parent or the controlling shareholder level.
Consequently, common control transactions are not accounted for at fair value. Rather, common control transactions are generally accounted for at the carrying amount of the net assets or equity interests transferred. Any differences between the proceeds received or transferred and the carrying amounts of the net assets are considered equity transactions that would be eliminated in consolidation, and no gain or loss would be recognized in the condensed combined financial statements of the ultimate parent. Resultantly, the financial position and the results of operations of Gripevine and MBE are combined together as if they were operating as one entity from the beginning.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND COMBINATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited combined financial statements for the years ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of combined financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Operating results for the nine months ended November 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2018.

For The Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2017
(Expressed in US dollars)
|
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND COMBINATION (continued)
As explained above in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed combined financial statements, as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the acquisition transaction has been accounted for as a common control transaction in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Common control transactions). Consequently, the condensed combined financial statements have been prepared as if the Company and MBE were a single organization by the aggregation of their financial statements from the beginning of the previous period and the elimination of transactions and balances between them.
3. GOING CONCERN
The unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and as at November 30, 2017 and February 28, 2017 had a working capital deficiency of $2,745,680 and $2,618,599, respectively and an accumulated deficit of $48,279,952 and $46,634,969 respectively. Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through continued business development and additional debt or equity investment in the Company. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded in the condensed combined financial statements. The condensed combined financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed combined financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
Loss Per Share
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260-10 which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted earnings per share exclude all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as at November 30, 2017 and 2016.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
|
·
|
Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.
|
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. The Company's cash, which is carried at fair value, is classified as a Level 1 financial instrument. The Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the guidelines in ASC 505-50. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2017, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed combined financial position and/or results of operations.
On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. We adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed combined financial position and/or results of operations.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. This guidance eliminates the requirement that an entity calculate the implied fair value of goodwill when measuring an impairment charge. Instead, an entity would record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed combined financial position and/or results of operations.
In February 2016, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis for each prior reporting period presented. The Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its unaudited condensed combined financial position and/or results of operations.

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY
Share Exchange Agreement
On February 28, 2017, the Company, MBE and the shareholders of MBE entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). The Board of Directors of the Company approved the execution and consummation of the transaction under the Share Exchange Agreement on February 28, 2017.
In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company is to issue an aggregate of 5,248,626 shares of its restricted common stock to the MBE Shareholders in exchange for 157,458,778 of the total issued and outstanding shares of MBE (constituting 100%), thus making MBE its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company and MBE deemed it in the best interests of the respective shareholders to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the Company would acquire all the technology and assets and assume all liabilities of MBE.
