Item 1. Business
We are a biotech company based in Denmark that has acquired a license to a patented molecule, known as the Lactoactive molecule, which has in numerous studies demonstrated above average effect in treating conditions such as inflammatory diseases, diabetics, psoriasis, and skin issues in different levels. We aim to further develop our Lactoactive molecule for the purpose of increasing the quality of our retail and medical skin cream products as well as developing products for medical applications.
We are currently marketing a line of our skin care products on our website at www.vilacto.com. These products include, lotions, skin care creams and gels, lip balms, foot creams and oils, and similar items. We have entered into an affiliate network program with Rakuten / LinkShare, whereby other websites in the industry will post links to our website.
We signed a license agreement with have Carmen Electra endorse our skin care products. On August 29, 2017, we signed an agreement with Rakuten Super Logistics (known as RSL) to handle our inventory, fulfillment and shipment. In June 2017, we upgraded our production facility to included additional storage containers, improved mixing machines and upscale filtration units. We have also attended skin care products to market our products to the industry.
On April 4, 2017, we entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Pharma GP ApS. (“Pharma GP”) and acquired an exclusive license to sell certain cosmetic products or ingredients covered by United States Patent No. US 8,637,075 in the territory of the United States.
For the license, we agreed to pay to GP a royalty of eight percent (8%) on the selling price (irrespective of any taxes, custom duties, costs of insurance, transportation costs or other costs) for all licensed product we sell in the United States (if in excess of the agreed minimum royalty), or pay the agreed minimum royalty of USD$ 10,000 per month.
Under the License Agreement, we have the ability to sublicense to third parties under the royalty arrangement described above.
As previously disclosed, on April 19, 2017, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Pharma GP APS, a Denmark corporation (“Pharma GP”) and its sole shareholder, 9 Heroes APS, a Denmark corporation, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Pharma GP for the purchase price of $6,000,000.00, payable as $3,000,000.00 in cash and the balance in shares of our common stock.
The closing of the Purchase Agreement was originally scheduled to occur on May 31, 2017; however, we have been unable to raise money needed to pay the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement;
As a result of the difficulties in raising capital to finance the Purchase Agreement transaction, the parties have decided to terminate and release each other and otherwise settle, compromise, dispose of, and release with finality, all claims, demands and causes of action, arising out of the Purchase Agreement dated April 19, 2017.
As such, on November 8, 2018, the parties entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the Purchase Agreement and release each other from the obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
Also on November 8, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with 9 Heroes APS, a Denmark corporation that is controlled by our CEO, Gert Andersen, to purchase certain patents applications and intellectual property. We formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Vilacto BioIP, LLC, to hold the assets acquired in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The patent applications and intellectual property include the following:
• United States Patent Application # 8,637,075 entitled “Colostrum Composition”;
• European Patent Application # EP2341916 entitled “Colostrum Composition”;
• Hong Kong Patent Application # HK1159997 entitled “Colostrum Composition”; and
• Canada Patent Application # 2,773,277 entitled “Colostrum Composition.”
These patent applications are describing the particle, development and use, of a nanoparticle composition comprised of (1) colostrum and (2) at least one agent selected from a group of hydrocolloids, such as hyaluronic acid, which is useable for a wide range of applications. We also secured domains names including Lactoactive and Vilact.
In consideration for the assets, we agreed to pay 9 Heroes APS the purchase price of $3,360,000 USD, payable in an 8% secured promissory note (the “Note”) with a face amount of $2,000,000 and the balance in our common stock, consisting of 8,500,000 shares of our common stock. We closed the transaction on November 8, 2018.
The Note matures in five years from execution. Interest is due and payable on a semiannual basis with the first payment due on January 1, 2019, which we failed to pay, and future payments due every six-months afterwards until maturity. At the sole option of the note holder interest may be converted into the Company’s common stock. The conversion price shall be equal to the average of the closing market prices for the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the due date for such payment. The note is secured by the current and future assets of the Company.
We plan to use the assets acquired to expand the reach of our opportunities in doing business internationally. We currently only have a license from Pharma GP to reach customers in the United States. By acquiring these patent applications we are better presented as a company with international IP solutions, which we believe will make us more attractive as an international biotech/pharma company and developer.
We intend to focus on our new pharmaceutical product, LACTOACTIVE iTHER®, as another potential revenue stream for the company along with its Vilact® brand of skin creams. LACTOACTIVE iTHER® is a new LACTOACTIVE variant that combines potent immune-system enhancement with a proven nanoparticle drug delivery system.
Our own research suggests that LACTOACTIVE iTHER® could contribute significantly to emerging therapies for treating a number of diseases, including cancer, immunodeficiency disorders, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, thrombocytopenia and vitiligo. The product is currently in the development stage and has not been approved for use by the FDA or any foreign agency.
Competition
The market for skincare/cosmeceuticals is highly competitive with many established manufacturers, suppliers and distributors engaged in all phases of the business. Competitive factors in our market include:
§product efficacy and uniqueness;
§brand awareness and recognition, product quality, reliability of performance and convenience of use;
§cost effectiveness;
§breadth of product offerings;
§sales and marketing capabilities and methods of distribution;
§resources devoted to product education and technical support; and
§speed of introducing new competitive products and existing product upgrades.
We face and will continue to face intense competition. A number of our competitors have far greater research and development and marketing capabilities and far greater financial resources than we do. These competitors may have developed, or could in the future develop, new technologies that compete with our products or render our products obsolete. We are also likely to encounter increased competition as we enter new markets and as we attempt to further penetrate existing markets. Some of our competitors have, in the past, and may, in the future, compete by lowering prices on their products. We may respond by lowering our prices, exiting the market or competing by investing in the development of new, improved products.
Approximately 400 companies compete in the U.S. cosmeceutical industry, divided fairly evenly among chemical and end-use product segments. The seven largest producers of cosmeceutical products are Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, L’Oreal, Allergan, Avon, Estee Lauder and Medicis. These companies control more than 60% of the U.S. cosmeceutical market. Our products also compete with similar products sold in prestige locations, such as department stores, high-end specialty retailers, door-to-door, by television and infomercials or mail-order or telemarketing by representatives of direct sales companies.
Government Regulation
Cosmetic and Skin Care Regulation
Depending upon product claims and formulation, skin care products may be regulated as cosmetics, drugs, devices, or combination cosmetics and drugs. We currently only market cosmetic skin care products and are evaluating entry into the pharmaceutical market. The FDA has authority to regulate cosmetics marketed in the United States under the FDCA and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (“FPLA”) and implementing regulations. The Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) regulates the advertising of cosmetics under the FTCA.
The FDCA prohibits the marketing of adulterated and misbranded cosmetics. Cosmetic ingredients must also comply with the FDA’s ingredient, quality, and labeling requirements and the FTC’s requirements pertaining to truthful and non-misleading advertising. Cosmetic products and ingredients, with the exception of color additives, are not required to have FDA premarket approval. Manufacturers of cosmetics are also not required to register their establishments, file data on ingredients, or report cosmetic-related injuries to the FDA.
We will be responsible for substantiating the safety and product claims of the cosmetic products and ingredients before marketing. The FDA or FTC may disagree with our characterization of one or more of the skin care products as a cosmetic or the product claims. This could result in a variety of enforcement actions which could require the reformulation or relabeling of our products, the submission of information in support of the product claims or the safety and effectiveness of our products, or more punitive action, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If the FDA determines we have failed to comply with applicable requirements under the FDCA or FPLA, it can impose a variety of enforcement actions from public warning letters, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties to seizure of our products, total or partial shutdown of our production, and criminal prosecutions. If any of these events were to occur, it could materially adversely affect us. If the FTC determines we have failed to substantiate our claims, it can pursue a variety of actions including disgorgement of profits, injunction from further violative conduct, and consent decrees.
Environmental Laws
We are not subject to any significant or material environmental regulation in the normal operation of our business.
Employees
We currently have three employees.
Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this annual report on Form 10-K before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these risks if any of them actually occur.
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and our Business
Our investors may lose their entire investment because our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
Our auditors, in their opinion dated July 1, 2019 have stated that currently we do not have sufficient cash nor do we have a significant source of revenues to cover our operational costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. We seek to raise operating capital to implement our business plan in an offering of our common stock. Our company's plan specifies a minimum amount of $50,000 in additional operating capital to operate for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that such offering will be successful. You may lose your entire investment
Our failure to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.
We need to raise additional funds to achieve our future strategic objectives, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios or restrict our ability to pay dividends or make acquisitions. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:
§launch, develop and enhance our existing products;
§continue to expand our product base, sales and/or marketing efforts;
§hire, train and retain employees; or
§respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.
Our inability to do any of the foregoing could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.
If our products are not deemed desirable and suitable for purchase and we cannot establish a customer base, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues, which would result in a failure of the business and a loss of any investment one makes our company.
The acceptance of our products is critically important to our success. We cannot be certain that the products that we will be offering will be appealing and as a result there may not be any demand for these products and our sales could be limited and we may never realize any significant revenues. In addition, there are no assurances that if we alter or change the products we offer in the future that the demand for these new products will develop and this could adversely affect our business and any possible revenues.
If demand for the products that we plan to offer slows, then our business would be materially affected.
Demand for products, which we intend to sell, depends on many factors, including:
§the economy, and in periods of rapidly declining economic conditions, customers may defer luxury purchases or may choose alternate products;
§the competitive environment in the skin care sector may force us to reduce prices below our desired pricing level or increase promotional spending;
§our ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and to meet customers’ needs for skin care products in a timely cost-effective manner;
§our ability to maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production and delivery of the products and services; and,
§our ability to identify and respond successfully to emerging trends in the skin care and personal care industries.
For the long term, demand for the products we plan to offer may be affected by:
§the ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in a competitive environment;
§our ability to deliver our products in the markets we intend to service, changes in government regulations, currency fluctuations, natural disasters, pandemics and other factors beyond our control may increase the cost of items we purchase, create communication issues or render product delivery difficult which could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability; and
§restrictions on access to North American markets and supplies.
All of these factors could result in immediate and longer term declines in the demand for the products that we plan to offer, which could adversely affect our sales, cash flows and overall financial condition.
Because we are new in the marketplace, we may not be able to compete effectively and increase market share.
Our current and potential competitors may have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources and name recognition, and a larger base of customers than we have. Our competitors may also be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the development, marketing and sale of their products and services than we can. To be competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in sales and marketing. We may not have sufficient resources to make these investments or to develop the technological advances necessary to be competitive, which in turn will cause our business to suffer and restrict our profitability potential.
Because we rely on third parties to manufacture our products, we are subject to factors outside of our control to meet our standards or timelines.
Our products are expected to be manufactured by third third-party manufacturing companies on a purchase order. We will be dependent on the timeliness and effectiveness of our third-part manufacturers’ efforts.
Failure or lack of reliability in the manufacture of our products is likely to result in loss of business. Among other risks:
§Our products may fail to provide the expected results;
§We may experience limited availability of quality ingredients for manufacturing;
§We may experience poor quality manufacturing;
§Our products may have new competition from other companies attempting to duplicate our formulas; and
§Our customers could experience results different from our test results.
Like other retailers, distributors and manufacturers of skin care and personal care products, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of the products that we sell results in injury.
We may be subjected to various product liability claims, including claims that the products we sell contain contaminants, are improperly labeled or include inadequate instructions as to use or inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. In addition, we may be forced to defend lawsuits. We cannot predict whether product liability claims will be brought against us in the future or the effect of any resulting adverse publicity on the business. Moreover, we may not have adequate resources in the event of a successful claim against us. The successful assertion of product liability claim against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages. In addition, interactions of the products with other similar products, prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs have not been fully explored.
We may also be exposed to claims relating to product advertising or product quality. People may purchase our products expecting certain physical results, unique to skin care and personal care products. If they do not perceive expected results to occur, certain individuals or groups of individuals may seek monetary retribution.
If our products become contaminated, our business could be seriously harmed.
We have adopted various quality, environmental, health and safety standards. However, our products may still not meet these standards or could otherwise become contaminated. A failure to meet these standards or contamination could occur in our operations or those of our bottlers, manufacturers, distributors or suppliers. Such a failure or contamination could result in expensive production interruptions, recalls and liability claims. Moreover, negative publicity could be generated even from false, unfounded or nominal liability claims or limited recalls. Any of these failures or occurrences could negatively affect our business and financial performance.
Our business may be adversely affected by unfavorable publicity within the skin care markets.
Management believes that the skin care market and personal care markets are significantly affected by national media attention. As with any retail provider, future scientific research or publicity may not be favorable to the industry or to any particular product, and may not be consistent with earlier favorable research or publicity. Because of our dependence on consumers’ perceptions, adverse publicity associated with illness or other adverse effects resulting from the use of our products or any similar products distributed by other companies and future reports of research that are perceived as less favorable or that question earlier research, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are highly dependent upon consumers’ perceptions of the safety and quality of the products as well as similar products distributed by other companies. Thus, the mere publication of reports asserting that skin care or personal care products may be harmful or questioning their efficacy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether such reports are scientifically supported or whether the claimed harmful effects would be present at the dosages recommended for such products.
As we intend to conduct international business transactions, we will be exposed to local business risks in different countries, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
We intend to promote and sell our products internationally. Our international operations will be subject to risks inherent in doing business in foreign countries, including, but not necessarily limited to:
§new and different legal and regulatory requirements in local jurisdictions;
§potentially adverse tax consequences, including imposition or increase of taxes on transactions or withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;
§risk of nationalization of private enterprises by foreign governments;
§legal restrictions on doing business in or with certain nations, certain parties and/or certain products; and,
§local economic, political and social conditions, including the possibility of hyperinflationary conditions and political instability.
We may not be successful in developing and implementing policies and strategies to address the foregoing factors in a timely and effective manner in the locations where we will do business. Consequently, the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our base operations and upon our financial condition and results of operations.
Since our products will be available over the Internet in foreign countries and we plan to have customers residing in foreign countries, foreign jurisdictions may require us to qualify to do business in their country. We will be required to comply with certain laws and regulations of each country in which we conduct business, including laws and regulations currently in place or which may be enacted related to Internet services available to the residents of each country from online sites located elsewhere.
Because of the nature of our products, we may be subject to government regulations or laws that increase our costs of operations or decrease our ability to generate income.
Any failure by us, or by any third party that may manufacture or market our products, to comply with the law, including statutes and regulations administered by the FDA or other U.S. or foreign regulatory authorities, could result in, among other things, warning letters, fines and other civil penalties, suspension of regulatory approvals and the resulting requirement that we suspend sales of our products, refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications, export or import restrictions, interruption of production, operating restrictions, closure of the facilities used by us or third parties to manufacture our product candidates, injunctions or criminal prosecution. Any of the foregoing actions could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to develop and commercialize our potential products without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties.
Our commercial success will depend, in part, on operating our business without infringing the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties that believe we are infringing on their rights could bring actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin the development, marketing and distribution of our products. If we become involved in any litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources, regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If any of these actions are successful, we could be required to pay damages and/or to obtain a license to continue to develop or market our products, in which case we may be required to pay substantial royalties. However, any such license may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializing a product or forced to cease some aspect of our business operations as a result of patent infringement claims, which would harm our business.
The implementation of our business plan relies on our ability to manage growth. If we are not able to manage the growth, our business plan may not be successfully implemented.
We expect to expand our operations by increasing our sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, and escalating our services. The anticipated growth could place a significant strain on our management, and operational and financial resources. Effective management of the anticipated growth shall require expanding our management and financial controls, hiring additional appropriate personnel as required, and developing additional expertise by existing management personnel. However, there can be no assurances that these or other measures we may implement shall effectively increase our capabilities to manage such anticipated growth or to do so in a timely and cost-effective manner. Moreover, management of growth is especially challenging for a company with a short revenue generating history and limited financial resources, and the failure to effectively manage growth could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our success depends on continuing to hire and retain qualified personnel, including our director and officers and our technical personnel. If we are not successful in attracting and retaining these personnel, our business will suffer.
Our success depends substantially on the performance of our management team and key personnel. Currently, we have one employee, our CEO Gert Andersen. Due to the specialized technical nature of our business, we are particularly dependent on our technical personnel. Our future success will depend on our ability to attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified technical, sales, operations, and managerial personnel, as well as our ability to successfully implement a plan for management succession. Competition for qualified personnel in our business areas is intense, and we may not be able to continue to attract and retain key personnel. In addition, if we lose the services of any of our management team or key personnel and are not able to find suitable replacements in a timely manner, our business could be disrupted and we may incur increased operating expenses.
If we are unable to attract new distributors and customers, or if our existing distributors and customers do not purchase additional products, the growth of our business and cash flows will be adversely affected.
To increase our revenues and cash flows, we must regularly add distributors and customers and sell additional products to our existing distributors and customers. If we are unable to sell our products to customers that have been referred to us, unable to generate sufficient sales leads through our marketing programs, or if our existing or new distributors and customers do not perceive our products to be of sufficiently high value and quality, we may not be able to increase sales and our operating results would be adversely affected. In addition, if we fail to sell new products to existing distributors and customers or new distributors and customers, our operating results will suffer, and our revenue growth, cash flows and profitability may be materially and adversely affected.
Key management personnel may leave us, which could adversely affect our ability to continue operations.
We are entirely dependent on the efforts of our management because of the time and effort that they devote to us. They are in charge of overseeing all development strategies, supervising any/all future personnel, and the implementation of our business plan. Their loss, or other key personnel in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Securities
If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “VIBI” on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc, an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.
Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.
Our common stock price may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
government regulation of our products and services;
the establishment of partnerships with other technology companies;
intellectual property disputes;
additions or departures of key personnel;
sales of our common stock
our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;
our ability to execute our business plan;
operating results below expectations;
loss of any strategic relationship;
industry developments;
economic and other external factors; and
periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results.
Because we have nominal revenues to date, you should consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above.
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the future on our common stock. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay cash dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.
As a new investor, you will experience substantial dilution as a result of future equity issuances.
In the event we are required to raise additional capital it may do so by selling additional shares of common stock thereby diluting the shares and ownership interests of existing shareholders.
Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer 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. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.
Provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws could make it very difficult for an investor to bring any legal actions against our directors or officers for violations of their fiduciary duties or could require us to pay any amounts incurred by our directors or officers in any such actions.
Members of our board of directors and our officers will have no liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer, except in limited circumstances, pursuant to provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws as authorized by the Nevada Revised Statutes. Specifically, Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the company or its shareholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (1) the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (2) his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. Accordingly, you may be unable to prevail in a legal action against our directors or officers even if they have breached their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws allow us to indemnify our directors and officers from and against any and all costs, charges and expenses resulting from their acting in such capacities with us. This means that if you were able to enforce an action against our directors or officers, in all likelihood, we would be required to pay any expenses they incurred in defending the lawsuit and any judgment or settlement they otherwise would be required to pay. Accordingly, our indemnification obligations could divert needed financial resources and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
Item 2.
Item 2. Properties
Currently, we do not own any real estate. Our executive offices are at Fabriksvej 48 4700 Naestved, Denmark. Our license partner, Pharma GP, has allowed us to use this space free of charge through June 30, 2018. We are currently paying $3,000 per month for the property.
Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

PART II
Item 5.
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “VIBI” on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell his securities in our company.
The following tables set forth the range of high and low bid prices for our common stock for the each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCQB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
On June 28, 2019, the last reported sale price of our common stock as reported on the OTCQB was $0.0003per share.
Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
As of June 19, 2019, we had 1,917,431,324 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 7 shareholders of record, with others holding shares in street name.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
We earned revenues of $4,894 for the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared with revenues of $1,429 for the year ended 2018. We can provide no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenues from our skin care business to sustain a viable business operation.
Expenses
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $970,890 for the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared with $382,391 for the same period ended 2018. Our operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2019 mainly consisted of professional fees of $582,097, general and administrative expenses of $299,781, royalty expense of $80,000 and depreciation and amortization expense of $9,012, as compared with professional fees of $153,104, royalty expense of $120,000 and general and administrative expenses of $109,263 for the year ended March 31, 2018.
Other Expenses
We had other expenses of $5,884,092 for the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared with other expenses of $511,572 for the year ended March 31, 2018. Our other expenses for the year ended March 31, 2019 mainly consisted of loss on acquisition of related party assets of $3,242,070, loss on derivative liability of $1,465,183 and interest expense of $1,133,221. Our other expenses for the year ended March 31, 2018 consisted of loss on derivative liability of $467,237 and interest expense of $44,335.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss in the amount of $6,854,131 for the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared with a net loss of $893,117 for the same period ended 2018. Our losses for each period are attributable to operating expenses together with a lack of any significant revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2019, we had total current assets of $376,286. Our total current liabilities as of March 31, 2019 were $3,960,386. As a result, we had a working capital deficit of $3,584,100 as of March 31, 2019.
Operating activities used $601,153_in cash for the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared with $338,008 in cash for the same period ended 2018. Our net loss was the main reason for our negative operating cash flow in both periods.
Investing activities used $40,686 in cash for the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared with $920 in cash used for the same period ended 2018. The purchase of fixed and intangible assets were the main reason for our negative investing cash flow in 2019.
Financing activities provided $750,290 for the year ended March 31, 2019, as compared with $465,675 for the same period ended 2018. Our positive cash flow from financing activities for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was mainly the result of proceeds from convertible promissory notes, promissory notes and related party advances.
The terms of the convertible promissory notes are contained in our footnotes to financial statements.
Despite the short term loans, we have insufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months and insufficient cash to achieve our business goals. The success of our business plan beyond the next 12 months is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. However, we have limited revenues as of March 31, 2019. We currently have negative working capital, and have not completed our efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.
Management anticipates that we will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. We intend to position the company so that we may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that we will be successful in this or any of our endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our critical accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2019, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE BUSINESS
The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 25, 2013. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and has had minimal revenues from operations to date.
On April 4, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Pharma GP APS, a Company controlled by our CEO. (“Pharma GP”) and acquired an exclusive license to sell certain cosmetic products or ingredients covered by United States Patent No. US 8,637,075 in the territory of the United States.
As a result of the License Agreement, the Company is currently marketing a line of skin care products on its website at www.vilacto.com. These products include, lotions, skin care creams and gels, lip balms, foot creams and oils, and similar items.
On November 8, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with 9 Heroes APS, a Denmark corporation that is controlled by our CEO, Gert Andersen, to purchase certain patents applications and intellectual property. We formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Vilacto BioIP, LLC, to hold the assets acquired in the Asset Purchase Agreement. (See Note 6 for additional details)
The patent applications and intellectual property include the following:
United States Patent Application # 8,637,075 entitled “Colostrum Composition”;
European Patent Application # EP2341916 entitled “Colostrum Composition”;
Hong Kong Patent Application # HK1159997 entitled “Colostrum Composition”; and
Canada Patent Application # 2,773,277 entitled “Colostrum Composition.”
We plan to use the assets acquired to expand the reach of our opportunities in doing business internationally. By acquiring these patent applications, we are better presented as a company with international IP solutions, which we believe will make us more attractive as an international biotech/pharma company and developer.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the period presented have been reflected herein.
Going concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $7,858,045 since its inception, has incurred recurring operating losses, has negative working capital at March 31, 2019 and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Vilacto Bio Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. 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 financial statements.
Use of estimates - 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, 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. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, and the valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606. On agreements for the products we sell on a standardized basis for sale to the market at a point in time. We recognize revenue at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good. We use proof of delivery for large orders, whereas the delivery of most of our products is estimated based on historical averages of in-transit periods (i.e., time between shipment and delivery).
In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions based on seller or customer-specified objective criteria, we recognize revenue when we have concluded that the customer has control of the goods and that acceptance is likely to occur. We generally do not provide for anticipated losses on point in time transactions prior to transferring control of the equipment to the customer.
For the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company reported revenues of $4,894 and $1,429 respectively, respectively.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable is comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and management closely monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $23 and $36 at March 31, 2019, and March 31, 2018, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There was $257,218 and $148,767 in cash and no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019, and March 31, 2018, respectively.
Concentration Risk
At times throughout the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of March 31, 2019, the cash balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $4,871. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items. The Company does not hold any investments that are available-for-sale.
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the 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 three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Stock-based compensation - The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which provides investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information, by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. ASC 718-10 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. On November 15, 2018, our Board of Directors adopted a 2018 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) The Plan is designed to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of our company by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in our company and to align their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of our stockholders. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has reserved 9,850,000 shares of common stock under the Plan.
Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation - 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 measurement date guidelines enumerated in ASC 505-50. The Company may issue compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.
Earnings (loss) per share - The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 “Earnings Per Share,” 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 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. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Long-lived Assets - In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounts Standard Codification (ASC) ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment," the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 - Derivatives Hedging: Embedded Derivatives. ASC 815 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms in agreements are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivatives that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for and separated from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.
Inventory - Substantially all inventory consists of finished goods and are valued based upon first-in first-out ("FIFO") cost, not in excess of market. The cost of our inventory includes the amount we pay to our suppliers to acquire inventory, freight costs incurred in connection with the delivery of product to our distribution centers. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. The Company evaluates potentially excess and slow-moving inventories on a quarterly basis by evaluating turn rates, inventory levels and other factors, and records lower of cost or market reserves for such identified excess and slow-moving inventories. As of March 31, 2019, and March 31, 2018, no such reserve had been recorded.
Income taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Codification Topic ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Segment Reporting - Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company's core business.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which modifies the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees to largely align it with the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We will plan to adopt ASU 2018-07 effective April 1, 2019. Upon adoption of the standard is not expected to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations for the years ending March 31, 2019 and 2018.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASC 842”). The guidance requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Existing sale-leaseback guidance, including guidance for real estate, is replaced with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.
We will plan to adopt ASC 842 effective April 1, 2019 using the optional transition method of recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on April 1, 2019. Therefore, comparative financial information will not be adjusted and will continue to be reported under the prior lease accounting guidance in ASC 840. We plan to elect the transition relief package of practical expedients, and as a result, we will not assess 1) whether existing or expired contracts contain embedded leases, 2) lease classification for any existing or expired leases, and 3) whether lease origination costs qualified as initial direct costs. We will also elect the short-term lease practical expedient by establishing an accounting policy to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less.
The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Hong Kong Patent Application # HK1159997 entitled “Colostrum Composition”; and
Canada Patent Application # 2,773,277 entitled “Colostrum Composition.”
These patent applications are describing the particle, development and use, of a nanoparticle composition comprised of (1) colostrum and (2) at least one agent selected from a group of hydrocolloids, such as hyaluronic acid, which is useable for a wide range of applications. We also secured domains names including Lactoactive and Vilact.
In consideration for the assets, we agreed to pay 9 Heroes APS the purchase price of $3,360,000 USD, payable in an 8% secured promissory note (the “Note”) with a face amount of $2,000,000 and the balance in our common stock, consisting of 8,500,000 shares of our common stock. We closed the transaction on November 8, 2018.
In accordance with US GAAP the Company recorded the assets on the books of the Company at costs basis due to fact that our CEO commonly controlled both entities involved in the transaction. The difference between the historical costs basis of the assets and the fair value of the consideration paid has been recorded as a loss on assets acquired from related parties of $3,242,070.
The Note matures in five years from execution. Interest is due and payable on a semiannual basis with the first payment due on January 1, 2019 and future payments due every six-months afterwards until maturity. At the sole option of the note holder interest may be converted into the Company’s common stock. The conversion price shall be equal to the average of the closing market prices for the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the due date for such payment. The note is secured by the current and future assets of the Company.
We plan to use the assets acquired to expand the reach of our opportunities in doing business internationally. We currently only have a license from Pharma GP to reach customers in the United States. By acquiring these patent applications, we are better presented as a company with international IP solutions, which we believe will make us more attractive as an international biotech/pharma company and developer.

7. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt (See Note 7) approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt is also stated at fair value of $2,000,000 since the stated rate of interest approximates market rates.
Fair value is defined 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
●
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
●
Level 2
Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
●
Level 3
Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The following table presents the derivative financial instruments, the Company’s only financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2019:
The embedded conversion feature in the convertible debt instruments that the Company issued (See Note 7), was convertible at issuance which qualified them as a derivative instrument since the number of shares issuable under the note is indeterminate based on guidance in ASC Topic No. 815-15, “Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic No. 815-15”). Topic No. 815-15 requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible debt. This convertible debt tainted all other equity linked instruments including all outstanding non-employee options and warrants on the date that the instrument became convertible. The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and account for any unrealized change in fair value as a component of results of operations.

Item 9A.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being March 31, 2019. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2020: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee.

Item 13.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Other than the transactions described below and under the heading “Executive Compensation” (or with respect to which such information is omitted in accordance with SEC regulations), for the past two fiscal years there have not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
On April 4, 2017, we entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Pharma GP ApS. (“Pharma GP”) and acquired an exclusive license to sell certain cosmetic products or ingredients covered by United States Patent No. US 8,637,075 in the territory of the United States. Our officer and director, Gert Andersen is in control of Pharma GP ApS.
For the license, we agreed to pay to GP a royalty of eight percent (8%) on the selling price (irrespective of any taxes, custom duties, costs of insurance, transportation costs or other costs) for all licensed product we sell in the United States (if in excess of the agreed minimum royalty), or pay the agreed minimum royalty of USD 10 per month.
Under the License Agreement, we have the ability to sublicense to third parties under the royalty arrangement described above.
We also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Pharma GP ApS and its sole shareholder, 9 Heroes APS, a Denmark corporation (together, “Seller”). In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Pharma GP ApS for the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $6,000,000.00, payable as $3,000,000.00 in cash and the balance in shares of our common stock.
The closing of the Purchase Agreement was originally scheduled to occur on May 31, 2017; however, we have been unable to raise money needed to pay the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement;
As a result of the difficulties in raising capital to finance the Purchase Agreement transaction, the parties have decided to terminate and release each other and otherwise settle, compromise, dispose of, and release with finality, all claims, demands and causes of action, arising out of the Purchase Agreement dated April 19, 2017.
As such, on November 8, 2018, the parties entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the Purchase Agreement and release each other from the obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
Also on November 8, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with 9 Heroes APS, a Denmark corporation that is controlled by our CEO, Gert Andersen, to purchase certain patents applications and intellectual property. We formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Vilacto BioIP, LLC, to hold the assets acquired in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The patent applications and intellectual property include the following:
• United States Patent Application # 8,637,075 entitled “Colostrum Composition”;
• European Patent Application # EP2341916 entitled “Colostrum Composition”;
• Hong Kong Patent Application # HK1159997 entitled “Colostrum Composition”; and

These patent applications are describing the particle, development and use, of a nanoparticle composition comprised of (1) colostrum and (2) at least one agent selected from a group of hydrocolloids, such as hyaluronic acid, which is useable for a wide range of applications. We also secured domains names including Lactoactive and Vilact.
In consideration for the assets, we agreed to pay 9 Heroes APS the purchase price of $3,360,000 USD, payable in an 8% secured promissory note (the “Note”) with a face amount of $2,000,000 and the balance in our common stock, consisting of 8,500,000 shares of our common stock. We closed the transaction on November 8, 2018.
The Note matures in five years from execution. Interest is due and payable on a semiannual basis with the first payment due on January 1, 2019, which we failed to make, and future payments due every six-months afterwards until maturity. At the sole option of the note holder interest may be converted into the Company’s common stock. The conversion price shall be equal to the average of the closing market prices for the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the due date for such payment. The note is secured by the current and future assets of the Company.
In connection with an assumption of the debt agreement the Company executed a $32,608 promissory note with Mr. Anderson which bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. During the year ended March 31, 2019 the Company recorded interest of $3,261.
During the year ended March 31, 2019, Gert Anderson, the President and CEO of the Company advanced $17,740 to the Company to pay expenses on behalf of the Company. As of March 31, 2019, $68,106 in advances remain outstanding. The advances bear no interest, are unsecured, and are due on demand.
On July 16, 2018 the Company made a payment of $133,284 to Pharma GP, an entity controlled by our CEO to settle amounts owned under outstanding accounts payable.
