“intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like,
and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,”
etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. The Company does not undertake
any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Report
on Form 10-Q.
As

Our
financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (“USD” or “US$” or “$”) and are prepared
in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. All references to “common shares” refer
to the common shares in our capital stock.
THE
FOLLOWING ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDING MAY 31, 2016, SHOULD
BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CORPORATION’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS
FORM 10-Q AND IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT FILED ON FORM 10-K ON MAY 20, 2016.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere
in this Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.
Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly
in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.
We
are a development stage company and have not generated material revenue to date. We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our
financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments
relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be
unable to continue in operation.
As
a result of Closing the Share Exchange Agreement as filed with the Commission on November 25, 2015 in the Company’s current
report on Form 8-K, the registrant is no longer a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act
and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
We
were incorporated in the State of Wyoming on January 20, 2010, as Tiger Jiujiang Mining, Inc. and established a fiscal year end
of February 28. Our statutory registered agent’s office is located at 1620 Central Avenue, Suite 202, Cheyenne, Wyoming
82001 and our business office is located at 795 Folsom Street, 1
st
Floor, San Francisco, CA. Our telephone number is
415-817-9955.
On
November 22, 2015, the Company, then under the name Tiger Jiujiang Mining, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”)
entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with VinCompass Corp., a California corporation
(“VinCompass”), the shareholders of VinCompass (the “VinCompass Shareholders”), and the controlling stockholders
of the Company (by unanimous vote) (the “Tiger Controlling Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement,
the Company acquired 5,200,000 (100%) shares of common stock of VinCompass from the VinCompass Shareholders (the “VinCompass
Shares”) and in exchange issued 26,000,000 (59.77%) restricted shares of its common stock to the VinCompass Shareholders
(the “Tiger Shares”). As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, VinCompass became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company upon closing and the Company now carries on the business of VinCompass as its primary business. The Share Exchange
Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and conditions to closing. The closing of the Share Exchange Agreement
(the “Closing”) occurred on January 14, 2016 (the “Closing Date”).
As
a result of the Share Exchange Agreement:
(a)
each outstanding VinCompass Share was cancelled, extinguished and converted into and became the right to receive a pro rata portion
of the Tiger Shares which equaled the number of VinCompass Shares held by each VinCompass Shareholder multiplied by the exchange
ratio of 5(the “Exchange Ratio”). Based on the Exchange Ratio, as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the VinCompass
Shareholders own a total of 26,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company; and
(b)
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Ya-Ping irrevocably canceled a total of 25,000,000 restricted shares of common stock
of the Company.
As
a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the VinCompass Shareholders own a total of 26,000,000 restricted shares of the Company,
which represents 59.77% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Share Exchange Agreement is being accounted
for as a “reverse acquisition,” as the VinCompass Shareholders own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s
capital stock immediately following the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement. Accordingly, VinCompass is deemed to be the acquirer
in the reverse acquisition. After the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Board of Directors and management of the Company
are comprised of VinCompass’s management team and the operations of VinCompass are the continuing operations of the Company.
BUSINESS
VinCompass™
is an eCommerce platform built on patent pending technology that takes the guess work out of the wine buying equation for the
consumer. We have multiple revenue streams focused on providing curated wine through our wine club, direct purchases via our App
and private label wines with the majority of the revenue realized as recurring wine subscriptions. Our intelligent software platform
determines an individual’s VinPrint™ (wine DNA preference) so consumers can purchase wine that meets their profile
with alluring value and availability.
Our
Proposed Exploration Program – Plan of Operation – Results of Operations
Wine
buying is a daunting task and for the average consumer, there has been no means to easily select wines to enjoy and cellar that
matches preferences for taste and price. To help fill this void, a plethora of wine clubs have popped up on the internet which
have failed to address this problem. The clubs push wine that provide them with the greatest margin rather than address the needs
of the consumer. As a result the membership renewals and reorder rates are well below those of other consumer product based clubs.
The
solution is VinCompass™…. a full-service personalized wine curator and eCommerce platform. Our wine club will provide
members only wines that meet their individual VinPrint™ and at price levels determined by the consumer, providing enhanced
membership renewals and reorder rates.
The
Opportunity
Unlike
the numerous .com wine sites and Apps that target retail wine enthusiasts looking to purchase wine, VinCompass™ addresses
the unmet need to uniquely pair taste and budget. With mobile devices now enabling 100’s of millions of consumers to instantly
fulfill their interests in music, sports, news and reading, VinCompass™ is poised to become the mobile app-enabled cloud
service for consumers to discover, archive, socialize and acquire curated wines thus creating new opportunities to monetize the
fast growing $1B$+/month e-wine marketplace.
For
vineyards, it can be difficult and expensive to reach would-be customers. Unlike wine superstores who fail to connect boutique
growers with the palate of discriminating drinkers, VinCompass™ employs a unique, patent-pending “VinPrint™”
to create a digital blue print of an individual’s’ wine preferences and then match those preferences with an inventory
of more than 1 million wines and the wine lists of more than 10,000 restaurants. VinCompass™ creates a personalized one-to-one
relationship with life-long customers that growers otherwise would not otherwise be able to establish and cultivate to scale.
For
wine lovers, the rise of such unprecedented access may result in too many choices; Restaurant lists can seem like a set of encyclopedias
with too many different value options. Regardless of wine knowledge, choosing wine can be intimidating or time consuming. The
VinCompass™ mobile app quickly presents a list of nearby restaurants, whose wine lists they can peruse before even walking
in the door. Before the sommelier hands over the wine list, VinCompass™ will help select the ideal bottle based on wine
tastes, budget and food preferences.

There
was no gross revenue for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015.
GENERAL
& ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: $187,127 for the three months ended November 30, 2016, while $90,356 was spent in the same period
ended November 30, 2015. For the nine months $414,136 was expended in total on general & administrative expenses, while $252,346
was spent in the same period ended November 30, 2015. Included under general & administrative there are the Development Expenses,
that include consulting, design fees, salaries, and other development fees of $96,859 and $44,574 for the three months ended November
30, 2016 and 2015, $252,326 and $155,875 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively.
SALES
& MARKETING EXPENSES: $45,548 was expended on the promotion of the Company’s products for future sales matters for the
three months ended November 30, 2016, while $28,417 was spent in the three months ended November 30, 2015. For the nine months
ended November 30, 2016, a total of $177,674 was spent compared with $92,541 in the same nine month period in 2015.
Plan
of Operation
As
of November 30, 2016 and February 29, 2016, we had a deficit of $760,313 and $336,845 in working capital.
Over
the balance of the current fiscal year we intend to seek financing for the ongoing development of the VinCompass business plan
and to further develop our business model. We will need to raise sufficient additional capital for the work plus for our administrative
operations and working capital through the sale of equity shares in the form of a private placement or public offering, loans
or advances from officers or directors or others or convertible debentures.
We
do not expect any changes or hiring of employees since contracts are given to consultants and sub-contractor specialists in specific
fields of expertise. We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We intend to lease or rent any equipment
that we will need in order to carry out our business plan development.
Presently,
our revenues are not sufficient to meet operating and capital expenses. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and
this is likely to continue through fiscal 2016-2017. Management projects that we will require a total of up to $750,000 to fund
ongoing operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Management is looking to secure up to
$5,000,000 in new capital.
Due
to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual financial
statements for the year ended February 28, 2016, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the
circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our former independent auditors. Our issuance of additional equity securities could
result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those
loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There
are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for continued long term operations. There can be no assurance
that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable
terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our obligations as
they become due.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of November 30, 2016, we have yet to generate any revenues from operations.
As
of November 30, 2016, our total assets, consisting entirely of cash, amounted to $45,124 while total current liabilities were
$805,437. Our working capital deficit was $760,313 as of November 30, 2016.
Net
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During
the nine-month period ended November 30, 2016, $365,179 of cash was used in operating activites.
Cash
Flow from Financing Activities
During
the nine-month periods ended November 30, 2016, $366,623 of cash was provided by financing activities.
Other
During
the quarter ended November 31, 2016, the Company allocated 69,653 shares, to be issued in lieu of fees paid to third parties.
The fair value of the shares is determined to be $13,931 using $0.20 per share, which the market price at November 30, 2016.
