Going concern

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses of $36,423,391 during the year ended August 31, 2017 and has an accumulated deficit of $37,128,829 as of August 31, 2017.

Management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events.

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available to the Company, it may be required to curtail or cease its operations.

Due to uncertainties related to these matters, there exists a substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 the Company had $205,163 and $217,694 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of August 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company had $217,694 and $809 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, prepaid expense, deferred financing cost, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued expenses, convertible notes and notes payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; or directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at February 28, 2018, and August 31, 2017, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

February 28, 2018	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Liabilities
Derivative Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	7,841,703	$	7,841,703

August 31, 2017	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Liabilities
Derivative Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of common stock options granted to employees and warrants issued to investors. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of other comparative securities, equal to the weighted average life of the options.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Repair and maintenance costs that do not improve service potential or extend economic life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our assets, which are reviewed periodically and generally have the following ranges:

Office Equipment and Furniture	5 years
Computer equipment	3 years

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

We account for intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. Customer relationships, brands and other non-contractual intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over 3 years. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.

The Company issued 40 million shares of common stock (approximately 26% of its outstanding common stock on issuance) for the acquisition of certain intellectual property. Subsequent to the transferor’s receipt of the consideration shares, 80,000,000 shares held by Mr. Daniels were cancelled without consideration to the Company in August 2016 (for the purpose of making more shares available for issuance to new investors and making the Company’s capital structure more attractive to those new investors), thereby increasing the transferor’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock to over 50%. Accordingly, the intellectual property was recorded on the Company’s books at its historical cost of $0. To further substantiate the valuation and due to the lack of readily available market information, the Company hired an independent third-party firm to perform a valuation on the acquired intangible assets. It was concluded that the intellectual property had nominal current value because future net economic benefit could not be reasonably estimated. This firm employed, but ultimately excluded or discounted the following methods of valuation: cost calculation, replacement value, relief from royalty-IP value and fair exchange. It was determined that the intellectual property had nominal current value because (i) the patent had fewer than three years left until expiration, (ii) management projections indicated approximately $582.8 million in capital was required to bring the proposed products/services to market, (iii) the Company, as of the valuation date, had no revenues, a limited business plan, no committed source of funding, a limited workforce and other limitations and (iv) the Company had limited or no contracts in place for personnel, customers or vendors to implement its business plan. As a result of further stock issuances by the Company, on and after February 28, 2017, the transferor held less than 50% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Further, in July 2017, the transferor dividended all of such shares among its shareholders and thus, no longer has direct ownership in the Company.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

We follow ASC 730-10, “Research and Development,” and expense research and development costs when incurred. Accordingly, third-party research and development costs, including designing, prototyping and testing of product, are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or milestone results have been achieved. Indirect costs are allocated based on percentage usage related to the research and development. Research and development costs of $569,942 and $320,651 were incurred for the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Stock-based compensation incurred for the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are summarized as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	February 28,
	2018		2017
Stock options issued to employees, strategic service provider and consultants	$	30,930,938	$	5,138,619
Stock warrants issued to investors and consultants		5,555,738		2,098,733
Common stock issued to strategic service providers and consultants		1,474,698		10,472,000
Total	$	37,961,374	$	17,709,352

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation of $30,376,431, $72,309 and $0 were incurred for the years ended August 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised primarily of differences between the book and tax valuation of derivative liabilities, resulting debt discounts and warrant and option valuations, in addition to Net Operating Loss carryforwards for Federal and State income tax purposes. Net deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset in their entirety by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their realization.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

We compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

For the years ended August 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the following options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

	Years ended August 31,
	2017		2016		2015
	(Shares)		(Shares)		(Shares)
Stock options		28,350,000		4,550,000		-
Warrants		3,077,998		-		-
Total		31,427,998		4,550,000		-

Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share during periods where net losses are incurred since the inclusion of the potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.” The amendments in ASU No. 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02. Both of the below entities may still adopt using the public company adoption guidance in the related ASUs, as amended. The effective date is the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments for ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for identifying, allocating and recognizing revenue related to the achievement of performance conditions under contracts with customers. This update also requires additional disclosure related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized under contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all revenue arrangements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Effective for public business entities that are a SEC filers for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, however, early adoption is permitted with prospective application to any business development transaction.

In December 2016, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The amendments affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09 including Loan Guarantee Fees, Contract Costs, Provisions for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, Disclosure of Remaining Performance Obligations, Disclosure of Prior Period Performance Obligations, Contract Modifications, Contract Asset vs. Receivable, Refund Liability, Advertising Costs, Fixed Odds Wagering Contracts in the Casino Industry, and Costs Capitalized for Advisors to Private Funds and Public Funds. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. Public entities should apply Topic 606 (and related amendments) for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein.

The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact that Topic 606 may have on our financial position and results of operations.
