Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this report, including statements regarding our business, financial condition, our intent, belief or current expectations, primarily with respect to the future operating performance of the Company and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are “forward-looking” statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these similar terms. Future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, future press releases and future oral or written statements made by us or with our approval, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain forward-looking statements. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by federal securities and any other applicable law.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated on May 8, 2007 in the State of Nevada. We were originally established to offer eco-friendly health and wellness products to the general public via the internet. As we had previously disclosed, on November 20, 2012, we entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Real Aesthetic, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Real Aesthetic”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for common stock of the Company. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the LOI was subject to the completion of the due diligence investigation of both parties, execution and delivery of documentation for the transaction, consents from the respective boards of directors of both companies and any third parties and the delivery of audited financial statements by Real Aesthetic. Subsequently, we decided not to pursue the contemplated transaction with Real Aesthetic.

 

On June 28, 2013, FINRA confirmed the 15-1 forward stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock authorized by our Board of Directors. The record date of the split was July 8, 2013. All share and per share amounts presented in this Annual Report and the financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted for the stock split.

 

On February 16, 2016, the Company filed a Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C for the purpose of increasing its authorized capital stock, disclosing as its reason “to facilitate our ability to raise capital in furtherance of our business plan…” We also disclosed at that time that “we have no present plans, nor have we entered into any agreements or understandings, that may require the issuance of any of the newly-authorized Common Stock....our Board of Directors and Majority Consenting Stockholder have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and all our stockholders to have available authorized but unissued shares . . .”

 

In February 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the establishment of a new wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Bengio Urban Renewal Ltd. (“Bengio Urban”) to focus its limited resources in the area of real estate development, particularly focusing on the urban renewal market in Israel. To that end, the Company raised $150,000 from the sale of restricted shares to investors to fund the new real estate development operations of Bengio Urban, which has hired employees and has signed contracts with the current tenants of two buildings who have agreed to vacate the buildings so that they can be redeveloped into modern state of the art new residential buildings .  Based upon the foregoing, the Company no longer deems itself to be a shell company.

While we believe that urban renewal projects present an opportunity to generate revenues and profits, we cannot forecast when and if such revenues would be generated. The basis for our belief is that in several major Israeli cities, there is virtually no more room to grow. As a result, several municipal governments have allowed older buildings to be renovated, thereby giving their respective cities the opportunity to develop new apartments to be added to or to replace existing buildings.

  

Additionally, municipalities have expressed their concern that many buildings constructed before 1980 will be unable to withstand earthquakes. In Israel, very few apartment buildings are owned by a single person or entity and since the majority of apartments within buildings are privately owned, the burden to renovate buildings in order to render them safer in the event of a major earthquake primarily falls on the multiple owners of various apartment buildings and complexes. 

  

“Tama 38” is an Israeli national zoning plan whereby a contractor assumes the responsibility of renovating an apartment building. In exchange for covering all costs of renovations, securing building permits and paying requisite taxes, the contractor is granted the right to build additional floors to the existing building and to sell the apartments built on these floors. 

  

The apartment owners benefit by receiving a modernized building, strengthened against earthquakes, as well as the additional apartments added to their buildings. In some cases, balconies, storage rooms, parking spaces and elevators may be added as well, further enhancing the building’s value.

 

“Pinui Binui” projects are defined as development where the residents of apartments are temporarily evacuated so that the buildings may be demolished and rebuilt.  The tenants then return to new apartments in the newly finished and renovated building.  The contractor pays all costs for demolition, construction, relocating apartment owners and renting their temporary homes during construction.  In exchange, the contractor adds new apartments in the building which are sold to generate profit.

  

As with “Tama 38,” the value of the apartments in the building is increased, thereby benefitting the owners, and the tenants return to a new, often larger and safer apartment in a building often with more amenities.

  

Recent Developments

 

Merger with Samsara Luggage, Inc.

 

On May 10, 2019, the Company entered into a binding merger agreement with Samsara Luggage, Inc. (“Samsara”), a smart luggage company, pursuant to which Samsara will merge with and into the Company, and the current shareholders of Samsara will be issued new shares of the Company representing approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock following the completion of the merger.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a condition precedent to the consummation of the Merger is for the Company to have completed the sale of the Company’s wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Bengio Urban Renewal Ltd. (“Bengio Urban”) to Avraham Bengio, the CEO and principal shareholder of the Company, through the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bengio Urban and all of the Company’s interest in Bengio Urban (including all debts and liabilities owed by the Company to Bengio Urban and the debts of Bengio Urban to the Company) to Bengio, (the “Spin-Off”). The Company will sell 100% of its interests of Bengio Urban to Avraham Bengio in exchange for all debts, liabilities and obligations of Bengio Urban being assigned to and assumed by Avraham Bengio, and with no other consideration being paid.

 

The closing of the merger transaction is scheduled to occur on November 12, 2019.

 

YAII PN, Ltd. Convertible Loan Transaction

 

On June 5, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with YAII PN, Ltd. (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide the Company with a convertible loan in the aggregate amount of $1,100,000 in three tranches, and the Company agreed to issue convertible debentures and a warrant to the Investor. The first tranche of the loan in the amount of $200,000 was provided upon signature of the SPA. The second tranche in the amount of $300,000 was provided upon the Company’s filing of its Registration Statement on Form S-4 in connection with the Merger with Samsara. The third tranche in the amount of $600,000 will be provided upon consummation of the Merger with Samsara and the fulfillment of all conditions required for the Merger. The funds are expected to be used to finance Company’s activities through its merger with Samsara and to finance Samsara’s working capital needs until the Merger. Each tranche of the loan will bear interest at an annual rate of ten percent (10%) and will be repayable after two years. Each tranche of the loan will be convertible after six months into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.003 per share. As part of the transaction, the Company issued to the Investor a warrant to purchase 91,666,666 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to $0.003. The term of the warrant is five years from the issue date. The warrant may be exercised by cash payment or through cashless exercise by the surrender of warrant shares having a value equal to the exercise price of the portion of the warrant being exercised.

$500,000 Investment Transaction

 

On September 26, 2019, the Company entered into share purchase agreements with five non-U.S. investors pursuant to which the investors undertook to invest an aggregate amount of $500,000 in the Company, and the Company undertook to issue to the investors shares of common stock at a price per share equal to $0.0024. In addition, the Company undertook to issue to one of the investors additional shares of common stock valued at $50,000, at the $0.0024 price per share, as a finder’s fee for the transaction. While the closing of this investment transaction has yet to occur due to technical reasons, the investors advanced the aggregate purchase price to the Company in May 2019. The aggregate number of shares of common stock to be issued to the investors upon closing wil. be 229,166,666. As part of this transaction, the Company also granted the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate amount of 104,166,666 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to US$0.0048 per share. The warrants are exercisable during a period of one year from the date of grant.

 

Competition

 

There are several companies in Israel engaged in TAMA 38 projects, and the market is extremely competitive.

 

Regulation and Taxation

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940 defines an “investment company” as an issuer which is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading of securities. While the Company does not intend to engage in such activities, the Company could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in the event the Company obtains or continues to hold a minority interest in a number of development stage enterprises. The Company could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs if required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, management will continue to review the Company’s activities from time to time with a view toward reducing the likelihood the Company could be classified as an “investment company.”

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

  

Overview

 

We were a shell company that was originally established to offer eco-friendly health and wellness products to the general public via the internet. In February 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the establishment of a new wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Bengio Urban Renewal Ltd. (“Bengio Urban”) to focus its limited resources in the area of real estate development, particularly focusing on the urban renewal market in Israel. To that end, the Company raised $150,000 from the sale of restricted shares to investors to fund the new real estate development operations of Bengio Urban, which has hired employees and has signed contracts with the current tenants of two buildings who have agreed to vacate the buildings so that they can be redeveloped into modern state of the art new residential buildings .  Based upon the foregoing, the Company no longer deems itself to be a shell company.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company determined, through its wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Bengio Urban Renewal Ltd., to focus its limited resources in the area of real estate development, particularly focusing on the urban renewal market in Israel. We believe, based upon the current real estate market in Israel, that urban renewal projects present an opportunity for us to generate revenues and profits, which we have never experienced since our inception.  The basis for our belief is that in several major Israeli cities, there is virtually no more room to grow. As a result, several municipal governments have allowed older buildings to be renovated, thereby giving their respective cities the opportunity to develop new apartments to be added to or replacing existing buildings. 

 

Additionally, municipalities have expressed their concern that many buildings constructed before 1980 will be unable to withstand earthquakes. In Israel, very few apartment buildings are owned by a single person or entity and since the majority of apartments within buildings are privately owned, the burden to renovate buildings in order to render them safer in the event of a major earthquake primarily falls on the multiple owners of various apartment buildings and complexes. 

 

“Tama 38” is an Israeli national zoning plan whereby a contractor assumes the responsibility of renovating an apartment building. In exchange for covering all costs of renovations, securing building permits and paying requisite taxes, the contractor is granted the right to build additional floors to the existing building and to sell the apartments built on these floors. 

 

The apartment owners benefit by receiving a modernized building, strengthened against earthquakes, as well as the additional apartments added to their buildings. In some cases, balconies, storage rooms, parking spaces and elevators may be added as well, further enhancing the building’s value.

 

“Pinui Binui” projects are defined as development where the residents of apartments are temporarily evacuated so that the buildings may be demolished and rebuilt.  The tenants then return to new apartments in the newly finished and renovated building.  The contractor pays all costs for demolition, construction, relocating apartment owners and renting their temporary homes during construction.  In exchange, the contractor adds new apartments in the building which are sold to generate profit.

 

As with “Tama 38,” the value of the apartments in the building is increased thereby benefitting the owners and the tenants return to a new, often larger and safer apartment in a building often with more amenities.

Results of Operations

 

For the years ended July 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018

 

Revenues

 

The Company did not generate any revenues during the years ended July 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018

Total operating expenses

 

During the year ended July 31, 2019, total operating expenses were $364,198, compare to $222,756 in the year ended July 31, 2018. The operating expenses consisted of mainly of professional fees, general and administrative expenses and expenses relating to the new business operations in relation to Tama 38. The increase is mainly attributable to professional expenses related to our May 10, 2019 binding merger agreement with Samsara Luggage, Inc.

 

Net loss

 

During the year ended July 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $1,094,134 and $378,263 respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to professional expenses related to our May 10, 2019 binding merger agreement with Samsara Luggage, Inc. and the expenses in respect of warrants issued and convertible component of the convertible loan. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of July 31, 2019, the Company had $414 of cash balance. As of July 31, 2018, the Company did not have a cash balance.

 

The Company believes that its current cash is insufficient to fund its expenses over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company.

 

Except as described in the Recent Developments section above, the Company currently has no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

The Company had no revenues and incurred a net loss of $1,094,134 for the year ended July 31, 2019 and a net loss of $378,263 for the year ended July 31, 2018. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In accordance with ASC 815-15-25 the conversion feature was considered by management embedded derivative instruments, and is to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible loan and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The Company recorded finance expenses in respect of the convertible component in the convertible loan in the excess amount of the convertible component fair value over the face loan amount. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations. Determination of the classification of the conversion feature and fair value are based on management’s estimation of market price, interest rate and other judgments.

 

The Company considered the provisions of ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, with respect to the detachable Warrants that were issued to the Convertible loan, and determined that as a result of the “cashless exercise” and variable exercise price that would adjust the number of Warrants and the exercise price of the Warrants based on the price at which the Company subsequently issues shares or other equity-linked financial instruments, such Warrants cannot be considered as indexed to the Company’s own stock. Accordingly, the Warrants were recognized as derivative liability at their fair value on initial recognition. In subsequent periods (and throughout July 31, 2019), the Warrants were marked to market with the changes in fair value recognized as financing expense or income in the consolidated statement of operations. Determination of the classification of the detachable Warrants and its fair value are based on management’s estimation of market price, interest rate and other judgments.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. As applicable to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to (i) the going concern assumptions, (ii) measurement of Convertible Note.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF

DARKSTAR VENTURES, INC.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Darkstar Ventures, Inc (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 July 31, 2019 and 2018 , and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet generated material revenues from its operations to fund its activities and is therefore dependent upon external sources for financing its operations. As of July 31, 2019, the Company has incurred accumulated deficit of $2,458,365 and negative operating cash flows. These factor among others, as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of’ these uncertainties.

 

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 audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 

A. Darkstar Ventures, Inc. (“the Company”(was incorporated on May 8, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

The Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Bengio Urban Renewals Ltd (“Bengio”), to focus its limited resources in the area of real estate development, particularly focusing on the urban renewal market in Israel.

 

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s current business plan.

 

B. Going Concern

 

The Company has not commenced planned principal operations. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,458,365 as of July 31, 2019. In addition, the Company continues to have negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

C. Binding Merger Agreement

 

On May 10, 2019, the Company entered into a binding merger agreement with Samsara Luggage, Inc. (“Samsara”), a smart luggage company, pursuant to which Samsara will merge with and into the Company, and the current shareholders of Samsara will be issued new shares of the Company representing approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock following the completion of the merger.

 

The closing of the merger transaction is subject, among other standard closing conditions, to the following conditions:

 

(1) The completion of all missing information, exhibits, and schedules to the merger agreement to the satisfaction of Samsara.
(2) An increase in the authorized share capital of the Company.
(3) The spin-off and sale of the Company’s wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Bengio Urban Renewals Ltd., to Avraham Bengio, the current CEO of the Company.
(4) The Company having raised at least $500,000 in financing.
(5) A Registration Statement on Form S-4 for the Company shares to be issued to the shareholders of Samsara having been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(6) All required consents and approvals for the merger transaction having been obtained.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a. Functional currency

 

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted. The functional currency of its foreign subsidiary is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”).

 

The financial statements of the subsidiary were translated into dollars in accordance with the relevant standards of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Accordingly, assets and liabilities were translated from NIS to $ using year-end exchange rates and income and expense items were translated at average exchange rates during the year.

 

Gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ deficit, under “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”.

 

Balances denominated in, or linked to foreign currency are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

 

    As of July 31,     As of July 31,  
    2019     2018  
Official exchange rate of NIS 1 to U.S. dollar     0.286       0.273  

 

b. Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

c. Cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments which include short term bank deposit (up to three months from date of deposit), that are not restricted as to withdrawals or use that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less as of the date acquired.

 

The company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major banking institutions in Israel.

 

d. Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. As applicable to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to (i) the going concern assumptions, (ii) measurement of Convertible Note.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

e. Share-base payments

 

Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the options issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards expected to vest. The offset to the recorded cost is to share-based payments reserve. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as capital stock and the related share-based payments reserve is transferred to share capital.

 

f. Loss per share

 

Net loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and of common shares equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Common share equivalents include: (i) outstanding stock options under the Company’s share incentive plan and warrants which are included under the treasury share method when dilutive, and (ii) common shares to be issued under the assumed conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes, which are included under the if-converted method when dilutive. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended July 31, 2016, and 2015, does not include common share equivalents, since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

g. Deferred income taxes

 

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.

 

h. Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Computers, software and electronic equipment are depreciated over three years. Tools and equipment are depreciated over ten years.

 

i. Land development costs

 

Land development costs, including estimated value of land, under TAMA 38 purchase agreements are capitalized when definite agreement is signed with the tenants. Tax arising from such agreements is recorded as Obligation under construction agreements when the Company can estimate the tax obligation.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

j. Fair value measurements 

 

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

 

As of July 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of accounts payable and loans that are required to be measured at fair value, approximated fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments

 

The Company has Level 3 financial instrument, an embedded derivative liability that is recorded at fair value on periodic basis. The embedded derivative is evaluated under the hierarchy of ASC 480-10, ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-10-15 addressing embedded derivatives. The fair value of such Level 3 financial instrument is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The foregoing Level 3 financial instrument has certain provisions which qualifies to be classified as a liability under ASC 815.

 

As of July 31, 2019, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

Description   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
Fair value of warrants issued in convertible loan                     392,693  
Fair Value of convertible component in convertible loan                     327,283

k. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard, ASU 2016-13 – “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The standard also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. This standard is effective for the Company after December 15, 2019. The standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard, ASU 2016-02 - “Leases”, requiring the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. This standard is effective starting January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and modified the standard thereafter. The objective of the ASU is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance.  The basis of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. See Note 2.H. to the consolidated financial statements for additional details.

 

On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard requiring changes to recognition and measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities. The standard primarily affects equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018 and the impact on its consolidated financial statements was not material.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 “Restricted Cash” to provide guidance on the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Currently, the statement of cash flows explained the change in cash and cash equivalents for the period. The ASU requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the period. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company did not have a material effect on the statements of cash flows as the Company’s restricted cash is not material.

l. Newly issued accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The Company plans to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2019. ASU 2018-07 is not expected to have an impact on Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements,” which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements and is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect that this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – LAND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

 

The Company signed two definite agreements with tenants one under “Tama 38” Israeli national zoning plan (“Tama 38”) and another under “Pinui Binui” project.

 

According to the Tama 38 signed project the Company assumes the responsibility of renovating 32 apartments in exchange for covering all costs of renovations, securing building permits and paying requisite taxes. The Company was granted the right to build an additional 28 apartments connected to the existing building that would be sold upon completion of the project. 

  

According to the “Pinui Binui” project the residents of 12 apartments are temporarily evacuated so that the buildings may be demolished and rebuilt.  Under the agreement the Company will pay all costs for demolition, construction, relocating apartment owners and renting their temporary homes during construction.  In exchange, the Comapny intends to add 24 new apartments to the building that would be sold upon completion of the project. 

 

Both agreements are conditional upon obtaining the final approval from the cities’ planning institutions and other conditions set forth in the agreements. As the Company could not estimate the land purchase taxes arising from the agreements such costs were not accrued in this financial statements. Land purchase taxes are not due until final approvals are obtained.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE LOAN

 

On June 5, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with YAII PN, Ltd. (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide the Company with a convertible loan in the aggregate amount of $1,100,000 in three tranches, and the Company agreed to issue convertible debentures and a warrant to the Investor.

 

The first tranche of the loan in the amount of $200,000 was provided upon signature of the SPA. The second tranche in the amount of $300,000 will be provided upon the Company filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 in connection with the Merger with Samsara. The third tranche in the amount of $600,000 will be provided upon consummation of the Merger with Samsara and the fulfillment of all conditions required for the Merger. The funds are expected to be used to finance Company’s activities through its merger with Samsara and to finance Samsara’s working capital needs until the Merger.

 

Each tranche of the loan will bear interest at an annual rate of ten percent (10%). The principal amount together with the accrued and unpaid interest will be repayable after two years. Each tranche of the loan together with the accrued and unpaid interest (or any portion at the discretion of the Investor) will be convertible at any time six months following the issuance date, into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $0.003 per share or 80% of the lowest volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of Company’s share during the period of 10 days preceding the conversion date.

 

In accordance with ASC 815-15-25 the conversion feature was considered embedded derivative instruments, and is to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible loan and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The Company recorded finance expenses in respect of the convertible component in the convertible loan in the excess amount of the convertible component fair value over the face loan amount. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.

 

The fair value of the convertible component was estimated by third party appraiser using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date.  The following are the data and assumptions used as of the balance sheet date:

 

    July 31,
2019
 
Expected volatility (%)     32.21 %
Risk-free interest rate (%)     1.91 %
Contractual term (years)     1.85  
Conversion prince     (* )
Underlying Share price (US dollars)     0.0069  
Convertible debenture amount     240,000  

 

(*) As detailed above the conversion price is the lower of $0.003 or 80% of the VWAP during the period of 10 days preceding the conversion date.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE LOAN (cont.)

 

In addition, the Company issued to the Investor a warrants to purchase 91,666,666 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to $0.003. The warrants may be exercised within 5 years from the issuance date by cash payment or through cashless exercise by the surrender of warrants shares having a value equal to the exercise price of the portion of the warrant being exercised.

 

The Company considered the provisions of ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, with respect to the detachable Warrants that were issued to the Convertible loan, and determined that as a result of the “cashless exercise” and variable exercise price that would adjust the number of Warrants and the exercise price of the Warrants based on the price at which the Company subsequently issues shares or other equity-linked financial instruments, such Warrants cannot be considered as indexed to the Company’s own stock. Accordingly, the Warrants were recognized as derivative liability at their fair value on initial recognition. In subsequent periods (and throughout July 31, 2019), the Warrants were marked to market with the changes in fair value recognized as financing expense or income in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The warrants were estimated by third party appraiser using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date.  The following are the data and assumptions used as of the balance sheet date:

NOTE 6 – SHARHOLDERS EQUITY (cont.)

 

C. On September 26, 2019, the Company entered into share purchase agreements with five non-U.S. investors pursuant to which the investors undertook to invest an aggregate amount of $500,000 in the Company, and the Company undertook to issue to the investors shares of common stock at a price per share equal to $0.0024. In addition, the Company undertook to issue to one of the investors additional shares of common stock valued at $50,000, at $0.0024 price per share, as a finder’s fee for the transaction. While the closing of this investment transaction has yet to occur due to technical reasons, the investors advanced the aggregate purchase price to the Company in May 2019. The amount received is presented in the balance sheet under proceeds on account of shares not yet issued. The aggregate number of shares of common stock to be issued to the investors upon closing is 229,166,666. As part of this transaction, the Company also granted the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate amount of 104,166,666 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to US$0.0048 per share. The warrants are exercisable during a period of one year from the date of grant. The funds are expected to be used to finance Company’s activities through its merger with Samsara and to finance Samsara’s working capital needs until the Merger.

 

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

 

At July 31, 2019 the Company had available net-operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes of approximately $550,000, which may be applied against future taxable income, if any, through 2039. Certain significant changes in ownership of the Company may restrict the future utilization of these tax loss carryforwards.

 

At July 31, 2019 the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $138,000 representing the benefit of its net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has not recognized the tax benefit because realization of the tax benefit is uncertain and thus a valuation allowance has been fully provided against the deferred tax asset. The difference between the Federal Statutory Rate of 25% and the Company’s effective tax rate of 0% is due to an decrease in the valuation allowance of approximately $3,000 for the year ended July 31, 2019 and increase of $7,000 for the years ended July 31, 2018.

 

The Company’s subsidiary has estimated total available carryforward operating tax losses for Israeli income tax purposes of approximately $788,000 as of July 31, 2019, which may be carryforward to offset against future income for an indefinite period of time.

 

The Company has no uncertain tax positions that require the Company to record a liability.

 

The Company had no accrued penalties and interest related to taxes as of July 31, 2019.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of July 31, 2019, the end of the period covered by this annual report, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

MANAGEMENT’S 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 Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive, principal operating and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) 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 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.

 

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at July 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, as of July 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

 

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 the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the exemption provided to issuers that are not “large accelerated filers” nor “accelerated filers” under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. Other Information.

 

None.

PART III

 

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

Set forth below are the names, ages and present principal occupations or employment, and material occupations, positions, offices or employments for the past five years of our current directors and executive officers.

 

Name and Business Address   Age   Position
Avraham Bengio
7 Eliezri Street
Jerusalem
Israel
  53   Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director

 

Avraham Bengio

 

Avraham Bengio has served as the CEO, CFO, and sole Director of Darkstar since May 14, 2015. From 1995 to date, Mr. Bengio has also served as the CEO of Ysva Makor Chaim Investments Ltd., an Israeli company in the business of real estate investments and development. Mr. Bengio studied engineering at the Jerusalem College of Technology in Jerusalem, Israel.

 

Each director of the Company serves for a term of one year or until the successor is elected at the Company’s annual stockholders’ meeting and is qualified, subject to removal by the Company’s stockholders. Each officer serves, at the pleasure of the board of directors, for a term of one year and until the successor is elected at the annual meeting of the board of directors.

 

There are no familial relationships among any of our officers or directors. None of our directors or officers is a director in any other reporting companies. None of our directors or officers has been affiliated with any company that has filed for bankruptcy within the last ten years. The Company is not aware of any proceedings to which any of the Company’s officers or directors, or any associate of any such officer or director, is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

 

Code of Ethics; Financial Expert

 

Because of the small size and limited resources of the Company, we do not currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers. We do not have a “financial expert” on the board or an audit committee or nominating committee.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or directors.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers and directors of the Company and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in their ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and forward copies of such filings to the Company. All of our executive officers and directors have complied with the Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

There are no legal proceedings that have occurred within the past ten years concerning our directors, or control persons which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one’s participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

  

Outstanding Equity Awards

 

Since our incorporation on May 8, 2007, none of our directors or executive officers has held unexercised options, stock that had not vested, or equity incentive plan awards.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

During the fiscal year ending July 31, 2019, the company accrued addition $180,000 of management fees.

  

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

 

The following table lists, as of November 11, 2019, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each executive officer and director of our Company; and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.

 

The percentages below are calculated based on 647,345,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of November 11, 2019. Except for the warrants issued to YAII PN, Ltd. and the warrants to be issued to the five investors in the recent $500,000 investment round, the Company does not have any outstanding options, warrants or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of its common stock.

  

Name of Beneficial Owner   Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership     Percent of Class  
Avraham Bengio     444,645,000       68 %
                 
Directors and officers as a group (1 person)     444,645,000       68 %

 

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

 

Director Independence

 

We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” We do not believe that any of our directors currently meet the definition of “independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

 

Our principal independent accountant is Ilanit Halperin CPA. The pre-approved fees billed to the Company are set forth below:
