ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(A) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Kyto Biopharma, Inc. was originally formed under the name of B. Twelve, Inc., a Florida corporation, filed with the Department of State on March 5, 1999.
On April 27, 1999, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, increasing its authorized capital stock from 1,000 shares of common stock with a Par Value of $1.00 per share, to 25,000,000 shares of common stock with a Par Value of $1.00 per share and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, also with a Par Value of $1.00 per share.
In August, 2001, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, changing the Par Value of its common stock from $1.00 per share to $0.0001 Par Value per share.
On August 14, 2002, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, changing the name to KYTO BIOPHARMA, INC.
The Company filed a Uniform Business Report (UBR) with the Department of State, State of Florida, for the year 2008 and paid all required fees. Its status is active.
The Company is currently not in the development stage and was in “development stage” till June 30, 2011.
On September 24, 2015 a submission on Florida Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act was sent to the Company. Pursuant to this Section it is possible for shareholders owning a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company to take an action without the requirement of a meeting.
The action taken by the majority shareholders was taken for the purpose of increasing the share price which could generate interest in the Company by investors and provide business opportunities. The action then adopted a reverse stock split in the amount of a one (1) for ten (10) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. By way of explanation, a reverse stock split is a process whereby a company decreases the number of company shares that are available and increases the price per share by combining the current shares into fewer shares. The reverse split does not change the number of authorized shares of common stock. Each stockholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding common stock immediately following the reverse stock split as she or he did immediately prior to the reverse stock split, except for adjustments required to the treatment of fractional shares.
It should be pointed out that the Company sees no dissenters’ rights with respect to the reverse stock split, and we do not intend to independently provide shareholders with such rights.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. Unless otherwise noted, impacted amounts and share information included in the financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for the stock split as if such stock split occurred on the first day of the first period presented.
(2) Employees
The Company has no employees, full-time or part-time. The President of Kyto Biopharma, Inc. is acting as consultant to the Company and does not receive compensation.

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, 2017. 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.
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, 2017 and 2016. 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 3,139,747 shares of common stock outstanding as of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.
(B) HOLDERS
According to information provided to us by the transfer agent for our shares of Common Stock, as of March 31, 2017, there were 17 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 financial statements, in 2017 the company had, a net loss of $93,929 a working capital deficiency of $226,129, a stockholders' deficiency of $226,129, and accumulated deficit of $32,289,919 at March 31, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional financing and maintain operations. Currently we do not have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations. Therefore, we need additional funds to continue these operations. 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 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.
(B) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had working capital deficit of $226,129 and $132,000 as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively. Cash were $0 and $32 as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively.
Cash from operating activities:
The Company’s cash outflow from operations of $32,407 for the year ended March 31, 2017 was $5,597 above cash outflow from operating activities as of March 31, 2016 which was $26,810.
Cash from financing activities:
The Company’s net cash flow from financing activities of $32,375 for the year ended March 31, 2017 was $5,536 above the cash flow from financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2016, which was $26,839.
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 to 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 on investment.
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, 2017 and 2016 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. 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 year ended March 31, 2017 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, 2017.
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, 2017 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, 2017 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 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 financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 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 financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 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, 2017, 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.

Kyto Biopharma Inc. will not compromise its principles for short-term advantage. The ethical performance of this company is the sum of the ethics of the men and women who work here. Thus, we are all expected to adhere to high standards of personal integrity.
Officers, directors, and employees of the company must never permit their personal interests to conflict, or appear to conflict, with the interests of the company, its clients or affiliates. Officers, directors and employees must be particularly careful to avoid representing Kyto Biopharma Inc. in any transaction with others with whom there is any outside business affiliation or relationship.

Proprietary, confidential and sensitive business information about this company, other companies, individuals and entities should be treated with sensitivity and discretion and only be disseminated on a need-to-know basis.
Misuse of material inside information in connection with trading in the company's securities can expose an individual to civil liability and penalties. Directors, officers, and employees in possession of material information not available to the public are "insiders". Spouses, friends, suppliers, brokers, and others outside the company who may have acquired the information directly or indirectly from a director, officer or employee are also "insiders."

The following guidelines should be followed in dealing with inside information:
Until the company has publicly released the material information, an employee must not disclose it to anyone except those within the company whose positions require use of the information.
Employees must not buy or sell the company's securities when they have knowledge of material information concerning the company until it has been disclosed to the public and the public has had sufficient time to absorb the information.
Employees shall not buy or sell securities of another corporation, the value of which is likely to be affected by an action by the company of which the employee is aware and which has not been publicly disclosed.
Officers, directors and employees will seek to report all information accurately and honestly, and as otherwise required by applicable reporting requirements.
Officers, directors and employees will refrain from gathering competitor intelligence by illegitimate means and refrain from acting on knowledge, which has been gathered in such a manner. The officers, directors and employees of Kyto Biopharma Inc. will seek to avoid exaggerating or disparaging comparisons of the services and competence of their competitors.
Officers, directors and employees will obey all Equal Employment Opportunity laws and act with respect and responsibility towards others in all of their dealings. Officers, directors and employees will remain personally balanced so that their personal life will not interfere with their ability to deliver quality products or services to the company and its clients.
Officers, directors and employees agree to disclose unethical, dishonest, fraudulent and illegal behavior, or the violation of company policies and procedures, directly to management.
Violation of this Code of Ethics can result in discipline, including possible termination. The degree of discipline relates in part to whether there was a voluntary disclosure of any ethical violation and whether or not the violator cooperated in any subsequent investigation.

Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Kyto Biopharma, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kyto Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”), as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2017. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kyto Biopharma, Inc. as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

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. On August 14, 2002, the Company changed its name from B Twelve, Inc. to Kyto Biopharma, Inc
The Company is a biopharmaceutical company, originally formed to acquire and develop innovative minimally toxic and nonimmunosuppressive proprietary drugs for the treatment of cancer, arthritis, and other proliferate and autoimmune diseases. The Company is currently in the development stage and has disposed of its Research and Development in 2012 and is now in the process of looking at a number of strategies for an acquisition and merger to become active. Once it has settled on the strategy, the Company will develop a plan for an acquisition and the means to achieve its goal.
(B) RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR PRESENTATION
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or previously reported cash flows.
During the year ended March 31, 2016, Directors fees were reclassified from accrued liabilities to accrued liabilities related party.
(C) GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues, a net loss of $93,929, a working capital deficiency of $226,219, a stockholders' deficiency of $226,219, and an accumulated deficit of $32,289,919 at March 31, 2017. 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.
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, 2017, the Company received $32,375 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 Food and Drug Administration clearance, the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations.
