Item 1. Business
Overview
iWallet Corporation (the “Company” or “iWallet”) was incorporated on November 18, 2009, in the State of California as “Queensridge Mining Resources, Inc.” On or about July 21, 2014, iWallet Corporation, a private California corporation, merged with and into our wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, iWallet Acquisition Corp., and iWallet Acquisition Corp. then immediately merged with and into the Company, with the Company immediately changing its name to “iWallet Corporation.”
The Company is currently focused on designing and developing biometric locking wallets and related physical, personal security products, and providing consulting services in connection with protective wallets and other personal security products.
The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31st, its telephone number is (858) 610-2958, and the address of its principal executive office is 401 Ryland St., Ste. 200A, Reno, Nevada.
The Company was previously a public company required to file some reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a result of effectiveness of prior registration statements we filed with the SEC in 2010 and 2014, but our reporting obligations were automatically suspended as a result of having less than 300 shareholders of record, and we subsequently filed a Form 15 (a Notice of the suspension of our duty to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act) and discontinued reporting on 2016.
Description of Business
We are a designer and developer of innovative, physical, personal security products that incorporate security and communication technologies to protect against identity, personal and financial information theft. iWallet is a registered trademark in the United States. Our prior designs include a biometric locking luxury storage case, made from carbon fiber or aluminum, that protects cash, credit cards and personal information with a proprietary fingerprint security system from being read by many types of RF devices in public spaces, and a soft leather wallet that incorporates a GPS module allowing the customer to locate the wallet if misplaced. Using a free mobile application, the wallets were designed to allow owners to tether their wallets to a supported mobile smart device. A proximity alarm could then be configured to sound on the mobile device synced with our high-end version of the wallet when the wallet is separated by about five meters.
We are based in San Diego, California, and the iWallet business was originally founded in 2009. The initial version of the iWallet generated sales of over $700,000 in the first eighteen months following its launch. Established sales channels include Neiman Marcus in North America, Harrods in England, Highline Peak Group in Canada, and NeedItWantItGadgets in New Zealand. Our prospective sales channels include Dufry, Touch of Modern, Skymall, Travelsmith, Hammacher Schlemmer, and co-branding for Montblanc, Porsche Design, Ducati, Gucci, and Bugatti. We own the trademark “iWallet” for secure luxury storage cases connected to smartphones in the USA and have patents worldwide. We were previously licensed by Apple Inc. as an official Accessory Developer. That license is currently lapsed due to our current redesign of our product line and incorporation of updated technologies into our product line, but we anticipate being licensed as an official Accessory Developer again within the next 12 months,
3
subject to completion of our product redesign during that time period. We also currently provide consulting services to other companies in the industry.
We are currently improving our designs and seeking manufacturers to launch our products back into the market, and we are not currently engaged in any product sales. We are currently redesigning the original iWallet with current technology as follows:
a.Add facial recognition vs. the original fingerprint scanner in the original iWallet design.
b.Add GPS tracking vs. the original alarm going off when the iWallet was separated from the linked mobile device.
c.Use flexible case material vs. the original hard case to house wallet electronics.
d.Add ability to download credit card numbers to its built-in memory vs. the original non capability.
This new technology is currently being designed to be implemented with various portable containers like wallets, passport holders and hand bags. We are in the initial stages of product redesign, and we are currently conducting tests with electronic components from different suppliers to see which ones work more efficiently. Once we know which ones work to our satisfaction, we plan to make 3D prototypes to show to our consulting customers that already have relationships with for their feedback and approval. Due to the revamping of our line of products, we have discontinued manufacturing the original iWallet since we consider the prior iWallet technology outdated.
The Company is currently working with engineers regularly to reach the aforementioned four technology feature milestones described above, and the Company is also meeting regularly with potential clients that show interest in this new technology and might be willing to either purchase product or designs, including gauging interest in potential white (private) labeling for large name brands like Dunhill which we have relationships with.
We have accumulated a database of customers through tradeshows like the The Consumer Electronics Show-CES, where iWallet won an innovation award that created a substantial interest in our products throughout many industries like automotive (General Motors, Mercedes Benz, Porsche each approached us previously), which could potentially sell iWallet products in their gift shops situated at their dealerships; duty-free shops situated at national borders, as well as in-flight catalogs, stores in cruise ships, etc. We also plan for our future products to be distributed through luggage retailers and manufacturers like we have in the past with Heys Luggage.
We anticipate that we will be ready to launch our redesigned products with updated technological features within the next 12 months, although the timeline may be delayed due to continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current worldwide shortage in electronic components. Accordingly, our projected product launch timeline is subject to normalization of the current computer chip and related component supply situation. We believe that with prototypes in hand, we will be able to secure purchase orders from small and large businesses and go into production, subject to electronic component availability, within the next year.
Products and Technology
We are redesigning our original product, which will be marketed as the “iWallet 2.0,” to have the following features:
·Sleek, compact industrial design with carbon fiber case
·Pairs with the owner’s cellular phone via bluetooth technology
·Patented, exclusive tamper resistant locking mechanism utilizes innovative fingerprint biometric reader for unlocking
·Unique latch control that only consumes power during latching hence providing extended battery life
·RFID blocking capability for enhanced wireless protection
·Speaker providing audible feedback
·GPS tracking capabilities
We also intend to bring the following additional products to market:
·Leather wallets with a GPS module built-in
·Storage devices with co-branding luxury partners
·A secure passport case called the iPassport
4
·A secure mobile personal safe to store pharmaceuticals in
·A smart “padlock” with a biometric reader for gym lockers and other personal areas that require security
We hold over twenty patents and patent applications filed in various countries around the world. Our products are manufactured under contract by a manufacturer based in Zhuhai, China, Apollo Electronics. The suppliers for our raw materials have been Future Electronics, Namiki Motors, Cotech Taiwan, Digital Persona, Avnet Electronics, Avnet Taiwan, and Apollo Electronics. Historically, our largest major customer has been Neiman Marcus, which was the source of approximately 60% of our gross revenues from our most recent product sales several years ago. We have not had any product sales for several years as we have been focused on updating our designs to use more cost-effective technologies and materials, and sourcing and updating our suppliers, tooling, and molds. We have now updated our designs and distribution plan, and we expect to relaunch product sales during 2022, and expand our distribution efforts. As we expand our sales and distribution channels, we expect that our customer base will diversify and that, in the future, our revenues will not be dependent upon one or a few major customers.
We hold both utility and design patents and patent applications. Our current utility patents will remain in effect until September 14, 2027, in the United States. The duration of our design patents varies by country. The expiration dates of our design patents, by country, is as follows:
Canada | June 10, 2023 |
Europe | December 9, 2036 |
China | December 12, 2021 (expired) |
Japan | May 18, 2032 |
Russia | December 13, 2036 |
Singapore | December 9, 2026 |
Taiwan | December 9, 2023 |
Services Offered
We are currently providing project management services to companies interested in the research, development (such as feasibility study, source codes, gerber files, apps, etc.), manufacturing (molds, PCB boards, etc.), materials (such as carbon fiber, fiber glass, aluminum, leather, polycarbonate, etc.), complex supply chain logistics, complex product cycle, and marketing (sales channels established throughout years of iWallet’s worldwide business relationships with high end brands, luxury department stores and duty free shops at worldwide airports, border crossings and cruise ships) of what we call “smart containers,” which are high-tech personal portable containers (such as wallets, purses, handbags and passport holders) that utilize the latest technologies in terms of GPS recovery for lost or stolen containers that can be tracked via an app on the owner’s smartphone or tablet; facial recognition and other biometrics such as fingerprint readers, voice recognition or remote opening through an app, in order to access its contents; various encrypted credit card numbers downloaded to the container that can be displayed on a LED/LCD screen to choose form of payment (Visa/MasterCard/American Express/Discover) at a touch of a button and pay the retailer with its NFC capability (the advantage of our system is that it is “off-the-grid” meaning that there is no third party carrier-such as the cellular phone carrier-that can be hacked into to steal personal information).
We consider ourselves to be at the forefront of the industry with the expertise, knowledge, resources and commitment to perform beyond our clients’ expectations with expertise in the field of portable containers that we dub “Techcessories,” and our commitment is to get their products out in the market as soon as possible to manage efficiently their product’s life cycles and replace their aging products with updated technology. We also plan to offer all of the aforementioned processes to companies on a partnership basis, whereby we would reduce the prices we charge to our customers (which reduction would reflect a portion of our cost of development, manufacturing, inventory and marketing) in exchange for being paid commissions by the customers in the future from new product sales or potentially receiving partial ownership in their new product offerings in the future, in order to provide a more affordable option to the client. We do not yet have any customers engaged on this basis, nor are we dependent on this structure.

Market and Competition Overview
Our primary target demographic is consumers who are in the market for high-end luxury storage cases and similar accessories. We do not believe that the $200+ approximate retail price to the customer for many of our planned products will be an obstacle for our initial target demographic.
We have previously competed with luxury brands such as Cartier, Salvatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, all of which are better capitalized than we are, as well as the following smaller niche competitors (and product offerings):
·Ekster: Parliament Wallet - integrated RFID blocking technology. GPS tracking available as an addon.
·Nomad: Slim Wallet - provides GPS tracking in an inconspicuous fashion so thieves are not aware of the tracking capability.
·Zitahli: Mens Wallet with RFID Front for Men - includes RFID security technology.
We believe the security, high technology, slim design, and carbon fiber or leather construction of our anticipated storage device products can position the Company to compete for a share of the luxury secure accessories market.
Sales, Distribution and Growth Strategy
Our current sales strategy is focused on developing and introducing a new flexible wallet made out of leather instead of carbon fiber in order to be more competitive from a pricing standpoint with traditional leather containers and wallets.
We plan to private label our product designs for well-established global brands that we already have a business relationship with (described below) through our first and second generation wallets, unlike our competitors that only promote their brands.
As funds permit, we plan to attend domestic consumer electronics trade shows, personal accessories trade shows, vacation trade shows, and luggage related trade shows to promote our line of unique products that we call “techcessories.” The Company has been working with Global Marketing Strategies in order to explore creative strategies, advertising concepts, consumer opinions, existing distribution and sales channels to determine the best path for sales and distribution of the Company’s product and services offerings.
Our established distribution channels for the original iWallet products include the following, which we believe will be available for the Company’s future product offerings:
·Neiman Marcus in North America
·Harrods in England
·NeedItWantItGadgets in New Zealand
The following are current prospective sales channels:
·Private branding for well-established global brands: Dunhil of London, Heys Luggage, Montblanc, Porsche Design, Ducatti, Gucci, and Bugatti. We have previously had business relationships or discussions with each of these brands.
·Dufry, a global duty-free company with 1,100 locations in 45 countries.
·Touch of Modern.
·Skymall.
·Travelsmith.
·Hammacher Schlemmer.
·Zero Halliburton.
Employees
We have no employees except for our CEO, Steven Cabouli, who plans to devote at least 40 hours/week to Company operations.

Environmental Laws
We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information under this item. However, investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk, and you should carefully consider the risk factors described below. Each of the risk factors described below could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Moreover, the risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our failure to raise additional capital or generate the cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in our product offerings could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.
We will need to raise additional funds in order to execute on our business development plan over the long term. We may not be able obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our security holders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the value of our common stock could decline. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios. If we cannot raise additional capital on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:
·develop and enhance our products
·develop our brand and acquire new customers
·continue to expand our technology development, sales and marketing organizations
·acquire complementary technologies, products or businesses
·expand operations internationally
·pay our debts as they come due
·hire, train and retain employees
·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.
Because we have experienced net losses to date, we may never be able to generate sufficient net revenue in the future to be profitable.
We have had net operating losses since inception and expect to continue experiencing net losses for the immediate future. In addition, we expect to make significant future expenditures related to the continued development and expansion of our business. Furthermore, as a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. As a result of these factors, to achieve profitability we will need to, among other matters, increase our customer base and our distribution channels. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our revenue in this manner and achieve profitability. As we expect to continue to invest in the development of our business, this investment could outpace growth in our revenue, and thereby impair our ability to achieve and maintain profitability.

Because we are dependent on outside manufacturers to produce our products, increases in manufacturing costs or component prices may negatively affect our operations
We have historically relied on one manufacturer to manufacture our iWallet products to order, and we expect that will be constrained by its manufacturing capabilities and pricing for future manufacturing and may face production delays or escalating costs if it is unable to manufacture a sufficient quantity of product at an affordable cost. Further, we could face production delays if it becomes necessary to replace that supplier with one or more alternative suppliers. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, and results of operations or financial condition. In addition, our operation could be significantly affected by increases in the cost of high quality carbon fiber, leather or other raw materials necessary to manufacture our products.
Because there is an uncertain market for our products, we cannot be certain that they will gain wide acceptance or that we will be able to generate sustained sales growth.
While we believe that our innovative security products would be attractive to business professionals, we have only a limited operating history to determine the market acceptance for our products. No assurance can be given that a significant market for our products and services will be developed or sustained. If our security products do not gain wider acceptance amongst our target market, we will be unable to achieve sustained sales growth and our business may not be viable over the longer term.
Because the preservation of our intellectual property rights is essential to the success of our business, our failure to protect those rights could adversely affect our business.
Our intellectual property rights, including existing and future trademarks, patents, trade secrets and copyrights, are and will continue to be valuable and important assets of our business. We believe that our proprietary technology, as well as our other technologies and business practices, are competitive advantages and that any duplication by competitors would harm our business. We have taken measures to protect our intellectual property, but these measures may not be sufficient or effective. Intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions may not prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property or deter others from developing similar technologies. In addition, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology. Our failure to protect, or any significant impairment to the value of, our intellectual property rights could harm our business.
Our products may contain defects, which could adversely affect our reputation and cause us to incur significant costs.
Defects may be found in our products. Any such defects could cause us to incur significant return and exchange costs, re-engineering costs, divert the attention of our personnel from product development efforts, and cause significant customer relations and business reputation problems. If we deliver products with defects, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products could be harmed.
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan.
Having certain key personnel is essential to the development and marketing of the products we plan to sell and thus to the entire business itself. Consequently, the loss of any of those individuals may have a substantial effect on our future success or failure. We may have to recruit qualified personnel with competitive compensation packages, equity participation, and other benefits that may affect the working capital available for our operations. Management may have to seek to obtain outside independent professionals to assist them in assessing the merits and risks of any business proposals as well as assisting in the development and operation of many company projects. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain such needed assistance on terms acceptable to us. Our failure to attract additional qualified employees or to retain the services of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
8
Even though we are not manufacturing the products ourselves, if any of the products we sell infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we may find ourselves involved in costly litigation, which will negatively affect the financial results of our business operations.
Although we have not received notices of any alleged infringement, we cannot be certain that our products do not infringe on issued trademarks and/or copyrights of others. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in our ordinary course of business arising out of intellectual property rights of others. These legal proceedings can be very costly, and thus can negatively affect the results of our operations.
Because we conduct business outside of the United States, we are subject to certain additional risks related to doing business in foreign countries.
We intend to conduct our business, in part, outside of the United States, and our products have historically been manufactured under contract in China. Doing business in foreign countries carries with it certain risks that are not found in doing business in the United States. The risks of doing business in foreign countries that could result in losses against which we are not insured include:
·exposure to local economic conditions;
·potential adverse changes in the diplomatic relations of foreign countries with the United States;
·hostility from local populations;
·the adverse effect of currency exchange controls;
·restrictions on the withdrawal of foreign investment and earnings;
·government policies against businesses owned by foreigners;
·investment restrictions or requirements;
·expropriations of property;
·the potential instability of foreign governments;
·the risk of insurrections;
·risks of renegotiation or modification of existing agreements with governmental authorities;
·foreign exchange restrictions;
·withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries; and
·changes in taxation structure.
Risks Related to Legal Uncertainty
Because our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Nevada law limit the liability of our officers, directors, and others, shareholders may have no recourse for acts performed in good faith.
Under our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law, each of our officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and agents are not liable to us or the shareholders for any acts they perform in good faith, or for any non-action or failure to act, except for acts of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Our articles and bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and agents from any claim, loss, cost, damage liability and expense by reason of any act undertaken or omitted to be undertaken by them, unless the act performed or omitted to be performed constitutes fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
If certain legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, makes it more difficult for us to retain or attract officers and directors, we may be unable to hire such personnel and our business operations may be materially negatively impacted.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with recent accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a public company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter qualified
9
individuals from accepting these roles. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We continue to evaluate and monitor developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from quotation on the OTC Link ATS, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Rule 15c2-11, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ensures that broker-dealers, in their role as professional gatekeepers to the over-the-counter-market, where our stock is quoted for trading, do not publish quotations for an issuer’s security when current issuer information is not publicly available, subject to certain exceptions. Companies trading on the OTC Link ATS, such as us, must generally have current information be available for broker-dealers to be able to publish quotations for their common stock. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market unless we make current information regarding our company available as required by the Rule. We have not yet done so, and we may not ever be able to do so.
Because our common stock could be deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, it would be cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our common stock, making the market for our common stock less liquid and negatively affect the price of our stock.
We may be subject to certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading will be subject to additional sales practice requirements of broker-dealers. These require a broker-dealer to:
·Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
·Disclose certain price information about the stock;
·Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
·Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
·In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
Consequently, penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock. Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.
Because we were formerly considered a “shell company” within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, the ability of any holders of “restricted securities,” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, to resell their shares may be limited by applicable regulations for a period of time, and our ability to attract additional investment through private offerings in the near future may be limited.
Formerly, we were classified as a “shell company” under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As such, any “restricted securities,” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, may not be resold in reliance on safe harbors provided under Rule 144 until: (i) we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) we have filed “Form 10 information” with the SEC regarding our cessation as a “shell company”; (iii) we have filed all reports as required by Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Act for the prior twelve consecutive month (other than Form 8-K reports); and (iv) one year has elapsed from the time we filed the Form 10 information with the SEC reflecting our status as an entity that is no longer a shell company. We ceased to be a shell company on or about July 21, 2014. In addition, we filed “Form 10 information” reflecting our status as a non-shell company with the SEC in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 25, 2014, as amended on July 31, 2014, and September 3, 2014. Our mandatory filing obligations under the Exchange Act were
10
previously terminated, but we are now again subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
As a result of our former “shell company” status, we may experience difficulty in raising additional capital through private offerings of common stock or other securities until such time as we have satisfied each of the requirements in Rule 144, including those set forth above. For so long as the safe harbors provided under Rule 144 are not available to holders of restricted securities, our ability to raise significant additional capital in any offering other than a registered public offering may be severely limited. To the extent that any capital from future private offerings is available to us prior to the date that Rule 144 is available to be relied upon, investors may demand resale registration rights in connection with such offerings or otherwise insist on terms which make such financings unattractive or infeasible.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company does not currently lease or own any real property.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2021, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
None.
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
The Company’s common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange, the Company’s common stock are quoted for trading on the “OTC Pink” tier of the over-the-counter alternative trading system operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (OTC Link ATS) under the symbol “IWAL.”
The following table summarizes the high and low historic trading prices of the Company’s common stock for the periods indicated as reported by otcmarkets.com (as historic high and low bid prices are not reported by otcmarkets.com).

Convertible Instruments
The following is a description of the material terms of our convertible instruments which remain outstanding as of December 31, 2021:
In fiscal 2015, the Company issued two tranches, one in April and one in September, of secured convertible debentures with identical terms and maturity dates (together, “the Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $492,500. The Company incurred $39,400 in broker’s commissions resulting in net proceeds of $453,100. The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, with interest payments due semi-annually. The Debentures originally matured on April 30, 2017, and became immediately due and payable at the request of the holders. Subsequently, the holders agreed to extend the maturity date in the Debentures to April 30, 2022. The Debentures are convertible at any time, in whole, to shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the accrued interest on the Debentures was $337,763 and $269,967, respectively.
On August 13, 2018, the Company entered into a secured convertible debenture agreement (the “Convertible Debenture”) with a service provider amounting to $12,000. The Convertible Debenture bears interest at 10% per annum calculated monthly and payable on maturity and had a maturity date of August 13, 2021. The Convertible Debenture became immediately due and payable in default at the request of the holder, although the holder has not made any request for immediate payment. The Convertible Debenture is currently in default, and the Company is currently working with the holder on extending the due date of the Convertible Debenture. The
12
conversion price is $0.06 per share. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the accrued interest was $4,064 and $2,864, respectively.
Warrants
On August 13, 2018, the Company issued 650,000 warrants in conjunction with a debt settlement agreement. These warrants were valued at $6,017 using the Black Scholes valuation model and the following inputs: an exercise price of $0.10 per share, interest rate of 2.68%, volatility of 233.70% and a life of 3 years.
The following is a schedule of the Company’s outstanding common stock purchase warrants:
| Warrants |
| Exercise Price | |
Outstanding and exercisable, December 31, 2019 | 650,000 |
| $ | 0.10 |

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
The statements contained in the following MD&A and elsewhere throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including any documents incorporated by reference, that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,” “intend” and similar words or expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s beliefs, objectives, and expectations as of the date hereof, are based on the best judgement of our management. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements, including, without limitation, the following: economic, social and political conditions, global economic downturns resulting from extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other securities industry risks; interest rate risks; liquidity risks; credit risk with clients and counterparties; risk of liability for errors in clearing functions; systemic risk; systems failures, delays and capacity constraints; network security risks; competition; reliance on external service providers; new laws and regulations affecting our business; net capital requirements; extensive regulation, regulatory uncertainties and legal matters; failure to maintain relationships with employees, customers, business partners or governmental entities; the inability to achieve synergies or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with risks and uncertainties detailed in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent filings on Forms 10 and 10-Q.
We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and new factors may emerge, or changes to the foregoing factors may occur, that could impact our business. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by the federal securities laws.
Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain “forward looking statements” because we issued “penny stock” (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise
13
specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on our behalf. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “explore,” “consider,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” or “propose” or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
·Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,
·Our ability to implement our business plan,
·Our ability to generate sufficient cash to survive,
·The degree and nature of our competition,
·The lack of diversification of our business plan,
·The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and
·Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and environmental weather conditions.
We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
Plan of Operation
The Company is currently focused on designing and developing biometric locking wallets and related physical, personal security products, and providing consulting services in connection with protective wallets and other personal security products.
Results of Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020
Revenues
We had $69,400 and $0 of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Cost of Sales
We had $27,450 and $0 of cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as a percentage of revenue, it was 39.6% and 0%, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, were $245,731 and $10,007, respectively. The increase in expenses for 2021 compared to 2020 were comprised primarily of cost of getting the Company’s filings with the SEC current.
Other Income (Expenses)
Other expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, were $143,045 and $60,151, respectively. The loss on settlement of accounts payable of $78,050 was the difference between the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
14
Net Loss
Net loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $346,826 and $70,158, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a cash balance of $49,658 and negative working capital of $801,814 at December 31, 2021.
The Company’s anticipated capital requirements for the next 12 months will consist of expenses of being a public company and general and administrative expenses all of which we currently estimate will cost $250,000, excluding revenue related expenses and salaries. In the event there are unanticipated expenses and we need additional funds, we may seek to raise additional funding that we require in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund such additional expenses. We currently do not have any agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 provided $37,668 of net cash. Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating activities during the period ended December 31, 2020 used $8,078 of net cash. Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the period ended December 31, 2020. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the period ended December 31, 2020.
The Company has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and some of its earlier plans to further diversify its operations and expand its operating subsidiaries have been paused due to the economic uncertainty.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Financial Statements on the audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020included in this Form 10-K, describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.
Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, and income taxes. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. The Company’s management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
The Company plans to derive revenue primarily from the sale of its wallets. The Company also will derive an insignificant amount of revenue from providing engraving of the wallets. Engraving revenues will be recognized concurrent with the revenues for the related wallet. The Company also will earn revenue from consulting contracts with others desiring to operate in the smart wallet sector. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606. The Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the
15
performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company evaluates the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Intangible Assets
Patents and trademarks are measured at cost. Legal fees associated with patents and trademarks, which are expected to be issued, are recorded as patents and trademarks on the balance sheets. Upon approval by the relevant patent office, the patents and trademarks are amortized over their respective expected lives. Patent and trademark costs associated with patents or trademarks which are not approved or are abandoned, are expensed in the period in which such patents are not approved.
The Company expects to maintain patents for up to 20 years from the effective date and the trademark registrations for as long as the trademarks remain in use and the required filings are made to keep them in use. However, based on the Company’s assessment of potential innovation or other competing technological developments a useful life of ten years has been assessed for both the patents and the trademarks.
Software consists of costs relating to the development of the software behind the biometric scanning and the other security programs involved in the wallets. Costs relating to the development of this software are capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years.
Website development costs relating to website and mobile application and software development are also capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.
Topic 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Seasonality
We do not expect our sales to be impacted by seasonal demands for our products and services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
iWallet Corporation
Reno, NV
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of iWallet Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses since inception and has not achieved profitable operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
F-1
Going Concern - Disclosure
The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. As noted in “Going Concern Considerations” above, the Company has a history of recurring net losses, a significant accumulated deficit and currently has net working capital deficit. The Company has contractual obligations, such as commitments for repayments of interest payable, due to related party, and convertible debentures (collectively “obligations”). Currently, management’s forecasts and related assumptions illustrate their ability to meet the obligations through management of expenditures, resumption of its planned business operations, obtaining additional debt financing, and issuance of capital stock for additional funding to meet its operating needs. Should there be constraints on the ability to resume its planned business operations or access financing through stock issuances, the Company will continue to manage cash outflows and meet the obligations through debt financing.
We identified management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a critical audit matter. Management made judgments to conclude that it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented and will provide the necessary cash flows to fund the Company’s obligations as they become due. Specifically, the judgments with the highest degree of impact and subjectivity in determining it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented include its ability to manage expenditures, its ability to access funding from the capital market, its ability to obtain debt financing, and the successful resumption of its planned business operations. Auditing the judgments made by management required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of audit effort.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included the following, among others, evaluation the probability that the Company will be able to: (i) access funding from the capital market; (ii) manage expenditures (iii) obtain debt financing, and (iv) resume its planned business operations.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
1. Nature of Business and Going Concern
iWallet Corp (“the Company”) has been engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and sales of bio-metric locking wallets, which operate by scanning a user’s fingerprint to open the wallet.
iWallet Corporation (“iWallet”) was incorporated on November 18, 2009 in the State of California and is located at 7394 Trade Street, San Diego, California 92121. On July 21, 2014 the Company merged with iWallet Acquisition Corporation (the “Acquisition Sub”) (“the Merger”), a subsidiary formed by Queensridge Mining Resources, Inc. (“Queensridge”) for purposes of the Merger, which resulted in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Queensridge. Immediately following the merger, the Acquisition Sub merged with and into Queensridge. Queensridge immediately changed its name to iWallet Corp and is continuing the business of iWallet as its only line of business.
The Company began trading on July 21, 2014 on the OTCQB Exchange under the ticker symbol IWAL. The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘U.S. GAAP’), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a deficit of $
Management has raised additional capital through private placement offerings and has plans to raise funds through public offering of its capital stock. While the Company has been successful in securing such financing in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for useful lives of patents, trademarks, software and website development costs (note 4).
Intangible assets
Patents and trademarks are measured at cost. Legal fees associated with patents and trademarks, which are expected to be issued, are recorded as patents and trademarks on the balance sheets. Upon approval by the relevant patent office, the patents and trademarks are amortized over their respective expected lives. Patent and trademark costs associated with patents or trademarks which are not approved or are abandoned, are expensed in the period in which such patents are not approved.
F-7
The Company expects to maintain patents for up to 20 years from the effective date and the trademark registrations for as long as the trademarks remain in use and the required filings are made to keep them in use. However, based on the Company's assessment of potential innovation or other competing technological developments a useful life of ten years has been assessed for both the patents and the trademarks.
Software consists of costs relating to the development of the software behind the biometric scanning and the other security programs involved in the wallets. Costs relating to the development of this software are capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years.
Website development costs relating to website and mobile application and software development are also capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.
Topic 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Included in the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to related party, and convertible debentures approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.
Revenue recognition
The Company plans to derive revenue primarily from the sale of its wallets. The Company also will derive an insignificant amount of revenue from providing engraving of the wallets. Engraving revenues will be recognized concurrent with the revenues for the related wallet. The Company also will earn revenue from consulting contracts with others desiring to operate in the smart wallet sector.
Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606. The Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company evaluates the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Loss per share of common stock
Loss per common share (basic and diluted) is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per share and the weighted average number of shares of common stock exclude
Income taxes
Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and results of operations.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

6. Convertible Debentures
In fiscal 2015, the Company issued two tranches, one in April and one in September, of secured convertible debentures with identical terms and maturity dates (together, “the Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $492,500. The Company incurred $39,400 in broker’s commissions resulting in net proceeds of $
The conversion feature was determined to be an embedded derivative; however, since the instrument is a conventional convertible debenture the conversion feature was not bifurcated. Additionally, the conversion feature was determined not to be beneficial in both tranches as the fair value of the Company's share price at the date of issuance was less than the conversion price. Accordingly, no proceeds were allocated to the value of the conversion feature on initial recognition.
As previously noted, the Company has adopted ASU 2015-03 “Imputation of Interest” and as a result has recognized the convertible debentures net of the related issuance costs of $

The Company has non-capital income tax losses that will begin to expire in 2032 through 2039.
The Company calculates its income tax expense by estimating the annual effective tax rate and applying that rate to the year-to-date ordinary income at the end of the period. The Company records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax rate at 0% and 0%, respectively. The Company recognized no income tax expense based on its $346,826 pre-tax loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company had no income tax expense on its $70,158 pre-tax loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued on uncertain tax positions as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within interest expense. The Company recognizes penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. In many cases the Company's uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of December 31, 2021:

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
11. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” through the date these financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring disclosure.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, there have been no disagreements with our independent certifying accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of the accountants would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on our financial statements.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of December 31, 2021, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and our disclosure controls and procedures were also ineffective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the CEO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records which in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, management used the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the criteria established by COSO, management (with the participation of the CEO and CFO) identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, which arose from the limited number of number of staff at the Company and the inability to achieve proper segregation of duties:
18
·The Company lacked effective controls for ensuring the accuracy of reporting over significant account balances, including the review, approval, and documentation of related transactions and account reconciliations and other complex accounting procedures.
·The Company lacked effective controls because their directors are not independent.
As a result of these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
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 rules of the Security and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect that there are resource constraints and that the benefits 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 the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

There are no agreements with respect to electing directors. The Board of Directors appoints officers annually and each executive officer serves at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company does not have any standing committees at this time, and due to its small size does not believe that committees are necessary at this time. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Company’s Board fulfills the duties of an audit committee. None of the directors held any directorships during the past five years in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of such act, or of any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Director and Officer Biographical Information
Steven Cabouli
Steven Cabouli is our CEO, President, Secretary and the sole member of our Board of Directors. Mr. Cabouli founded the Company’s predecessor private operating company, iWallet Corporation, in California in 2009, has been our President since July of 2014 when iWallet Corporation was acquired by the Company, and was reappointed as our CEO in June of 2021. He has over 30 years of experience in introducing new and unique products to the market. In the 1980s, he introduced machines for shaved ice, cooking baking, and donuts to Argentina and sold the rights to this business to an established South American cookie manufacturer in 1987. He is also the owner of China Mystique, Inc., a global distributor of skincare products which he co-founded in 1990.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of being a director or officer of the Company, or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Our articles of incorporation provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
With regard to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the common shares being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.
Director Compensation
There are no formal agreements with our directors for compensation, although they have received shares for their services from time to time.
Director Independence
During the period ended December 31, 2021, we had no independent directors.
21
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance
The Company does not maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Code of Ethics
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size. We intend to adopt a written code of ethics in the near future.
No Committees of the Board of Directors; No Financial Expert
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. Nor do we have an audit committee or financial expert. Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so. As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K is beyond our limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in our financial statements at this stage of our development.
Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a).
Based solely on our review of certain reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the reports required to be filed with respect to transactions in our common stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, were timely, except that Mr. Cabouli has not timely filed a Form 3 or Form 4 upon the effectiveness of our registration statement on Form 10 on or about November 27, 2021.

Overview of Compensation Program
We currently do not maintain a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Until a formal committee is established, our entire Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Board of Directors ensures that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable, and competitive.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Board of Directors believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company and that aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. As a result of the size of the Company, the Board evaluates both performance and compensation on an informal basis. Upon hiring additional executives, the Board intends to establish a Compensation Committee to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative.
Role of Executive Officers In Compensation Decisions
The Board of Directors makes all compensation decisions for, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to, the executive officers and directors of the Company.
