ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following discussions should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes which are included in this Form 10-K for the year ending March 31, 2014. Statements made below which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, general economic conditions and our ability to develop our products. For further information regarding our business, competition and risk factors, refer to this Company's Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission.
(A) MARKET INFORMATION
As of February 23, 2011, our stock quotation coverage moved from the FINRA operated OTC Bulletin Board to the OTC Markets Group, Inc.'s OTCQB under the same symbol "KBPH."
In September, 2009, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which owns and operates the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), announced that it wished to divest itself of the ownership and operation of the OTCBB and intended to sell to an independent third party the OTCBB.com web site, URL, and reservation rights, certain OTCBB.com content; and the OTCBB trademark. Given the uncertainty of the fate of the FINRA operated OTCBB, there has been a large migration of market makers from the OTCBB quotation system to the OTC Link quotation system. According to otcmarkets.com, in the past 30 calendar days, there have been over 624 publically traded companies that have moved from being dually quoted (OTCBB and OTC Link) to being quoted exclusively on the OTC Link platform, and only 19 issuers remain exclusively quoted on the OTCBB. As of February 18, 2011, priced quotes published on OTC Link made up 95% of priced quotes in the OTC marketplace.
Our common stock had traded on the OTC Bulletin Board(R), or OTCBB, since August 04, 2005. The Company's common stock is quoted on the Electronic Bulletin Board of the OTC market, under the trading symbol KBPH. The following table sets forth, for the calendar quarters indicated, the high and low closing prices for our common stock as reported by OTCBB for fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not represent actual transactions. The market for the common stock has been sporadic and there have been long periods during which there were few, if any, transactions in the common stock and no reported quotations. Accordingly, reliance should not be placed on the quotes listed below, as the trades and depth of the market may be limited, and therefore, such quotes may not be a true indication of the current market value of the Company's common stock.
There were 12,998,482 shares of common stock outstanding as of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
(B) HOLDERS
According to information provided to us by the transfer agent for our shares of Common Stock, as of March 31, 2014, there were 16 holders of record of the shares of Common Stock, including depositories. Based upon information we have received from some of these record owners, we believe there are more than 150 beneficial holders of our shares of Common Stock.
(C) DIVIDENDS
The Company has not paid any dividends to date and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
(D) SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS.
None

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Earnings per share for each of the fiscal years shown below are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
(A) PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company had not been profitable and had no revenues from operations since its inception in March 1999. As reflected in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, in 2014 the company had, a net loss of $113,955 a working capital deficiency of $372,567, a stockholders' deficiency of $372,567, and Accumulated deficit of $18,191,325 at March 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to further implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Effective May 31, 2012, the Corporation entered into an agreement with Kyto IP Inc., a private company incorporated in the State of Delaware, to transfer, assign and sell all of the Corporation’s intellectual property, including Patents, Patent Applications and related Intellectual Property for the purchase consideration amounts to US$1,367,135 to Kyto IP Inc .
Further, the purchase price is paid and satisfied by the Kyto IP Inc. assuming the debt of the company to ComindusFinance Corp. and other liabilities.
In November 2012,Kyto closed its Canadian Subsidiary and recognized a loss on dissolution of foreign subsidiary of $173,623 during the year ended March 31, 2013.
(B) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had working capital deficit of $372,567 and $258,612 as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively. Cash were $3 and $117 as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
Cash from operating activities:
The company’s cash outflow from operations of $10,314 for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $2,846 below cash flow from operating activities as of March 31, 2013 which was $13,160.
Cash from financing activities :
The company’s net cash flow from financing activities of $10,200 for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $1,950 above the cash flow from financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2013, which was $8,250.
To meet the projected cash requirements as stated above, the Company intends to obtain cash loans from one or more of its stockholders. As the date of filing of this Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company did not receive any commitments of any of its stockholders to provide operating loan funds for the Company. We are also looking at merger opportunities or to acquire companies and products to raise capital. We expect to form strategic alliances for product development and to out-license the commercial rights to development partners. By forming strategic alliances with third parties, we believe that our technologies and related products can be more rapidly developed and successfully introduced into the marketplace.
The Company's plan of operation for the next twelve months is to continue to focus its efforts on finding new sources of capital and on research activities and the development of its drug candidates which maximize the utility and application of its platform technologies. Management expects the Company to incur additional operating losses over the next several years as research and development efforts, preclinical and clinical testing activities and manufacturing scale-up efforts expand. To date, we have not had any material product sales and do not anticipate receiving any revenue from the sale of products in the upcoming year. Our sources of working capital have been equity financings and interest earned on investments.
The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of factors, some of which are beyond management's control, such as financial market trends and investors' appetite for new financings. It should also be emphasized that, should the Company not be successful in completing its own financing (either by debt or by the issuance of securities from treasury), the Company may be unable to continue to operate as a going concern.
(C) OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT
None.
● THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN DUE TO SIGNIFICANT RECURRING LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS, CASH USED IN OPERATIONS, STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT, ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIT ALL OF WHICH MEANS THAT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS UNLESS WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING. The report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our March 31, 2014 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to substantial recurring losses from operations, cash used in operations, stockholders' deficit and significant accumulated deficit and working capital deficit. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional funding and maintain successful operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

ITEM 9A.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer/chief financial officer (principal financial officer) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2014.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/ Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014 based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.
In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
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 temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Kyto Biopharma, Inc.
Toronto, Canada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kyto Biopharma, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”), as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We have conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Kyto Biopharma, Inc. and its subsidiary as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has not commenced its planned principal operations and has suffered recurring losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) NATURE OF BUSINESS
Kyto Biopharma, Inc. was formed as a Florida corporation on March 5, 1999. B Twelve, Limited, Kyto Biopharma, Inc.'s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary (collectively referred to as the "Company"), was also formed on March 5, 1999. On August 14, 2002, the Company changed its name from B Twelve, Inc. to Kyto Biopharma, Inc.
The Company is a biopharmaceutical company, formed to acquire and develop innovative minimally toxic and non-immunosuppressive proprietary drugs for the treatment of cancer, arthritis, and other proliferate and autoimmune diseases. The Company is currently not in the development stage and was in “development stage” till June 30, 2011.
Activities during the development stage include acquisition of financing and intellectual properties and research and development activities conducted by others under contracts.
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of the company’s Canadian subsidiary is translated into U.S. dollars on consolidation. The functional currency of Kyto’s subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. In November 2012, Kyto closed its subsidiary and recognized a loss on dissolution of foreign subsidiary of $173,623 during the year ended March 31, 2013.
(B) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(C) GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has no revenues, a net loss of $113,955, a working capital deficiency of $372,567 a stockholders' deficiency of $372,567 and a deficit accumulated of $18,191,325 at March 31, 2014. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to further implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the Company's ability to resolve its liquidity problems, principally by obtaining additional debt financing and/or equity capital. During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company received $10,200 in related party debt financing.
The Company has yet to generate an internal cash flow, and until the sales of its product begins, the Company is very dependent upon debt and equity funding. The Company must successfully complete its research and development resulting in a saleable product. However, there is no assurance that once the development of the product is completed and finally gains Federal Drug and Administration clearance, and that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations.

NOTE 5 STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY
(A) CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
In June 1999, an investor purchased 250,000 units at $1.00 per unit or $250,000 consisting of 250,000 shares of convertible preferred stock and receives warrants to purchase up to 750,000 common shares as follows: 250,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share issued with the preferred stock and another potential 500,000 as discussed below. The preferred stock was convertible to common stock on a one-for-one basis upon the earlier of:
(i) An initial public offering by the Company, as defined,
(ii) The completion of a reverse take-over transaction,
(iii) A minimum $3,000,000 private equity financing based on a $10,000,000 valuation or,
(iv)The merger of the Company with another corporation or the sale of substantively all the assets of the Corporation.
There was no beneficial conversion feature upon the sale as the value of the common shares into which the preferred shares are convertible are also $1.00 based on contemporaneous transactions.
Upon exercise of the first 250,000 warrants, the investor received another warrant for 250,000 common shares at $1.00 exercise price per share. Upon conversion of the preferred stock, each share of common stock issued shall be coupled with an additional common stock purchase warrant at an exercise price of $1.00 per share with a three-month term. In December 1999 and May 2000, 100,000 and 150,000, respectively, of the first warrant were exercised and therefore in May 2000 the additional 250,000 warrant were granted with an exercise price of $1.00 expiring June 2003. In June 2001, pursuant to a letter of intent, which was ratified by the shareholders, the preferred shares were converted and the additional 250,000 warrants were granted at an exercise price of $1.00 with an amended term not to exceed five years. There was no beneficial conversion feature to the warrants as the value of the common stock was still considered to be $1.00 based on contemporaneous transactions at that time. There was no effect of the warrant issuances on operations as all warrants are considered to be purchased as part of the preferred stock unit. The second and third warrants totaling 500,000 common shares remained outstanding at March 31, 2003. In June 2003, 250,000 expired and in June 2006 the remaining 250,000 expired.
In May 2007, Kyto entered into an agreement with Credifinance Capital Corp. to issue up to 500,000 convertible preferred shares at $1.00 per share in satisfaction of amounts due to Credifinance Capital Corp. During the year ended March 31, 2008 the Company issued 459,734 shares of convertible preferred stock to a Credifinance Capital Corp. to satisfy the related party loan payable. As there is no readily available fair value for the Company's convertible preferred stock, the issuance has been recorded at par value of $1 per share for a total of $459,734. The preferred convertible stock issued to satisfy the related party loan may be converted into common shares at the rate of $0.45 per share for up to two years and bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum.

NOTE 6 INCOME TAXES
The Company files separate tax returns for the parent and its Canadian subsidiary. There was no income tax expense or utilization of net operating loss carry forwards for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, due to the Company's net losses.
The blended Canadian Federal and Provincial Corporate tax rate of 41.5% applies to loss before taxes of the Canadian subsidiary. The Company's tax expense differs from the "expected" tax expense for Federal income tax purposes for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (computed by applying the United States Federal Corporate tax rate of 34% to consolidated loss before taxes), as follows:
The effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2014 are as follows:
The net change in valuation allowance during the year ended March 31, 2014 was an increase of approximately $38,745. The Company's has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $17,792,391 available to offset net income through 2030.
For the purpose of these estimates, certain stock based expenses aggregating approximately $1,008,000 and impairment loss amounting to $165,570 since inception were considered non-deductible. Actual amounts ultimately deductible may differ from these estimates.
The utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards is dependent upon the ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the carry forward period. In addition, utilization of these carry forwards may be limited due to ownership changes as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and certain state jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years for 2002 and forward are subject to examination by the United States and applicable state tax authorities due to the carry forward of unutilized net operating losses. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject to examination by the Canadian tax authorities as per the laws and regulations of Canada.
