Part I


Item 1.  Description of Business


General


Bioethics, Ltd., (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) is a shell company that conducts no active business operations and is seeking business opportunities for acquisition or participation by the Company.


History


The Company was incorporated in 1990 as a Nevada corporation. The Company has not yet generated any significant revenues.


Since its organization in 1990, the Company has not engaged in active business operations and its activities have consisted of its search for and evaluation of potential business opportunities for acquisition or participation by the Company.  During this period, the Company has incurred limited operating expenses necessary to maintain its status as a corporation in good standing and has incurred expenses in connection with its search for and evaluation of potential business opportunities.  Due to the lack of active operations and the Company’s stated purpose of seeking to acquire a currently unknown business opportunity, the Company may be classified as a “shell” company subject to all the risks of a new business together with the substantial risks associated with the search for and acquisition of business opportunities.


Business Plan


The Company intends to continue to seek, investigate and, if warranted, acquire an interest in a business opportunity. Management has not established any firm criteria with respect to the type of business with which the Company desires to become involved and will consider participating in a business enterprise in a variety of different industries or areas with no limitation as to the geographical location of the enterprise.  The Company’s management will have unrestricted discretion in reviewing, analyzing, and ultimately selecting a business enterprise for acquisition or participation by the Company.  It is anticipated that any enterprise ultimately selected will be selected by management based on its analysis and evaluation of the business and financial condition of the enterprise, as well as its business plan, potential for growth, and other factors, none of which can be anticipated to be controlling.  If the Company is able to locate a suitable business enterprise, the decision to acquire or participate in the enterprise may be made by the Company’s board of directors without stockholder approval.  Approval may also be obtained pursuant to the consent of a majority of the Company’s stockholders.  Further, it is anticipated that the acquisition of or participation in an enterprise may involve the issuance by the Company of a controlling interest in the Company which would dilute the respective equity interests of the Company’s stockholders and may also result in a reduction of the Company’s net tangible asset value per share.  



3



The activities of the Company will continue to be subject to several significant risks which arise primarily as a result of the fact that the Company has no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management which will, in all probability, act without the consent, vote, or approval of the Company’s stockholders.  The risks faced by the Company are further increased as a result of its limited resources and its inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with additional capital.  (See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”)


Although management believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to acquire or participate in a business enterprise, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to locate a business enterprise which management believes is suitable for acquisition or participation by the Company or that if an enterprise is located, it can be acquired on terms acceptable to the Company.  Similarly, there can be no assurance that if any business opportunity is acquired, it will perform in accordance with management’s expectations or result in any profit to the Company or appreciation in the market price for the Company’s shares.  


If business opportunities become available, the selection of an opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky and may be made on management’s analysis of the quality of the other company’s management and personnel, the anticipated acceptability of new products or marketing concepts, the merit of technological changes, and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible to analyze through the application of any objective criteria.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.


It is anticipated that business opportunities may be introduced to the Company from a variety of sources, including its sole officer and director, and his business and social contacts, professional advisors such as attorneys and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the franchise community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals.  


The Company will not restrict its search to any particular business, industry, or geographical location.  The Company may enter into a business or opportunity involving a “start-up” or new company or an established business.  It is impossible to predict the status of any business in which the Company may become engaged.


The period within which the Company may participate in a business opportunity cannot be predicted and will depend on circumstances beyond the Company’s control, including the availability of business opportunities, the time required for the Company to complete its investigation and analysis of prospective business opportunities, the time required to prepare the appropriate documents and agreements providing for the Company’s participation, and other circumstances.  


It is impossible to predict the manner in which the Company may participate in a business opportunity.  Specific business opportunities will be reviewed and, on the basis of that review, the legal structure or method deemed by management to be most suitable will be selected.  The structure may include, but is not limited to, mergers, reorganizations, leases, purchase and sale agreements, licenses, joint ventures, and other contractual arrangements.  The Company may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation, or other form of organization.  Implementing the structure may require the merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with other corporations or forms of business organization, and there is no assurance that the Company would be the surviving entity.  In addition, the current stockholders of the Company may not have control of a majority of the voting shares of the Company following a reorganization transaction.  As part of the transaction, all or a majority of the Company’s directors may resign and new directors may be appointed without any vote by the stockholders.   


The Company will most likely acquire a business opportunity by issuing shares of the Company’s common stock to the owners of the business opportunity.  Although the terms of the transaction cannot be pre­dicted, in many instances the business opportunity entity will require that the transaction by which the Company acquires its participation be “tax-free” under Sections 351 or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).  It is anticipated that any business opportunity acquisition will result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of the Company prior to the acquisition.


Notwithstanding the fact that the Company is technically the acquiring entity in the foregoing circumstances, generally accepted accounting principles will ordinarily require that the transaction be accounted for as if the Company had been acquired by the other entity owning the business venture or opportunity and, therefore, will not permit a write up in the carrying value of the assets of the other company.


It is anticipated that securities issued in a transaction of this type would be issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws.  In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of the transaction, the Company may agree to register such securities either at the time the transaction is consummated or under certain conditions or at specified times thereafter.  The issuance of a substantial number of additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the Company’s common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for the Company’s common stock.



4



The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of a written agreement. Although the terms of the agreement cannot be predicted, generally the agreement would require specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, specify certain events of default, detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties thereto prior to the closing, set forth remedies on default, and include miscellaneous other terms.


It is emphasized that management of the Company has broad discretion in determining the manner by which the Company will participate in a prospective business opportunity and may enter into transactions having a potentially adverse impact on the current stockholders in that their percentage ownership in the Company may be reduced without any increase in the value of their investment or that the business opportunity in which the Company acquires an interest may ultimately prove to be unprofitable.  The transaction may be consummated without being submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their consideration.  In some instances, however, the proposed participation in a business opportunity may be submitted to the stockholders for their consideration, either voluntarily by the board of directors to seek the stockholders’ advice or consent or because of a requirement to do so by state law.


The investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments may require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, and others.  If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs previously incurred in the related investigation would not be recoverable.  Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Company of the related costs incurred.


The Company’s operations following its acquisition of an interest in a business opportunity will be dependent on the nature of the opportunity and interest acquired.  The specific risks of a given business opportunity cannot be predicted at the present time.


The Company is not registered and does not propose to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Act”).  The Company intends to conduct its activities so as to avoid being classified as an “investment company” under the Investment Act and, therefore to avoid application of the registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act and the related regulations.


Regulation


It is impossible to predict what government regulation the Company may be subject to until it has acquired an interest in a business opportunity.  The use of assets and/or conduct of businesses which the Company may acquire could subject it to environmental, public health and safety, land use, trade, or other governmental regulations and state or local taxation. In selecting a business opportunity to acquire, manage­ment will endeavor to ascertain, to the extent of the limited resources of the Company, the effects of government regulation on the prospective business of the Company.  In certain circum­stances, however, such as the acquisition of an interest in a new or start-up business activity, it may not be possible to predict with any degree of accuracy the impact of government regulation.


Competition


The Company encounters substantial competition in its efforts to locate a business opportunity.  The primary competition for desirable investments comes from investment bankers, business development companies, venture capital partner­ships and corporations, venture capital affiliates of large industrial and financial companies, small business investment companies, other shell companies, and wealthy individuals.  Most of these entities have signifi­cantly greater experience, resources, and managerial capabilities than the Company and are in a better position than the Company to obtain access to attractive business opportunities.


Facilities

 

The Company’s offices are located at 1661 Lakeview Circle, Ogden, Utah 84403. Beginning August 2017, the Company entered into an oral agreement to pay the Company’s sole director $500 per month as payment for use of his personal residence as the Company’s office and mailing address.  


Employees


The Company has no employees and its business and affairs are handled by its president who provides services to the Company on an as needed basis, without compensation.  Management of the Company may engage consultants, attorneys, and accountants on an as needed basis, and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees so long as it is seeking and evaluating business opportunities.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors


Our financial statements contain a going concern qualification indicating that we do not have the necessary working capital for our planned activity which raises doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.


The Company’s annual audited financial statements contain a going concern qualification indicating that the Company has incurred losses since inception, has no on-going operations and that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company has not entered into any agreements or arrangements for the provision of additional debt or equity financing except as described herein and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional debt or equity capital required in order to continue its operations.

 

The Company is a “blank check” company with no specified business plan and stockholders are unable to determine the future activities of the Company.


The business plan of the Company is to use its limited capital to search for, investigate, and acquire or participate in a business opportunity which has not yet been selected.  A business opportunity will be selected by management, and management may select an opportunity without approval of the Company’s stockholders.  Accordingly, stockholders are unable to determine the future activities of the Company and may have no opportunity to analyze the merits of any opportunity to be acquired by the Company.  In addition, the Company has no employment contracts with its current management, no assurance can be given that the Company will continue to be managed by current management, and it is likely that current management will resign at such time as a business opportunity is acquired.


The Company has little or no capital for use in locating, investigating and acquiring a business opportunity, which will prevent the Company from acquiring a business opportunity that has capital requirements greater than the Company’s resources.


As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $268,622 and is dependent on loans or contributions from stockholders or sales of common stock to obtain the capital required to continue its operations.  However, even if additional funding is received, it is not anticipated that it will be in an amount that is adequate to permit the Company to undertake an elaborate or extensive search for business opportunities.  This limited capital will prevent the Company from participating in any business opportunity which requires immediate additional capital and may make it difficult or impossible for the Company to locate a business opportunity.


The Company may issue a substantial number of additional shares in the future which could significantly dilute the ownership interest of current stockholders.


It is likely that the Company would acquire an interest in a business opportunity through a reverse merger or other business reorganization involving the issuance by the Company of additional shares of the Company’s common stock.  It is also likely that the Company would issue a controlling interest to the stockholders of the acquired company in which event the ownership interest of current stockholders would be substantially diluted.  The board of directors, acting without stockholder approval, has authority to issue all or any part of the authorized but unissued stock of the Company.  Thus, the board of directors could issue up to 139,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock without stockholder approval.  (See “Item 1. Business: Business Plan.”)


The Company has had no history of operations and stockholders are unable to effectively evaluate the Company for investment purposes because it has not begun operations and it has not selected or established a business model .


The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada in 1990, and has had no operations or significant revenues from operations.  The Company faces all of the risks inherent in any new business, together with those risks specifically inherent in the search for and acquisition of business opportunities.  


The Company’s Stock is thinly traded on the OTC Pink Marketplace.


The Company’s common stock is quoted only on OTC Pink Marketplace and no assurance can be given that the Company’s common stock will continue to be quoted on OTC Pink Marketplace. (See “Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.”)



6



Our stock is subject to special sales practice requirements that could have an adverse impact on any trading market that may develop for our stock.


Our stock is subject to special sales practice requirements applicable to “penny stocks” which are imposed on broker-dealers who sell low-priced securities of this type.  These rules may be anticipated to affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our stock, which may in turn be anticipated to have an adverse impact on the market price for our stock if and when an active trading market should develop. (See “Item 5: Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.”)


Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.  


Not Applicable.  The Company is a “smaller reporting company .”


Item 2.  Properties.


The Company’s offices are located at the residence of an officer at 1661 Lakeview Circle, Ogden, Utah 84403. Beginning August 2017, the Company entered into an oral agreement to pay the Company’s sole director $500 per month as payment for use of his personal residence as the Company’s office and mailing address.  The Company does not own or lease any other properties.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.


The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings and, to the best of its knowledge; no such legal proceedings have been threatened against it.


Item 4.  Mine Safety Disclosures.


Not Applicable.


Part II


Item 5.   Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities


Market Information


The Company’s common stock is included on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol “BOTH.”  On March 18, 2019, the published closing price was $.351 for the Company’s common stock on the OTC Pink Marketplace.


At December 31, 2018, there were approximately 382 holders of record of the Company’s common stock, as reported by the Company’s transfer agent.  In computing the number of holders of record, each broker-dealer and clearing corporation holding shares on behalf of its customers is counted as a single stockholder.


No dividends have ever been paid on the Company’s securities, and the Company has no current plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.  


Special Sales Practice Requirements with Regard to “Penny Stocks”


To protect investors from patterns of fraud and abuse that have occurred in the market for low priced securities commonly referred to as “penny stocks,” the SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security having a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share, or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Since the price of our stock is well below $5.00 per share, our stock is subject to the “penny stock” regulations.  As a result, broker-dealers selling our common stock are subject to additional sales practices when they sell our stock to persons other than established clients and “accredited investors.”  For transactions covered by these rules, before the transaction is executed, the broker-dealer must make a special customer suitability determination, receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction and deliver a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative taking the order, current quotations for the securities and, if applicable, the fact that the broker-dealer is the sole market maker and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market.  Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  Such “penny stock” rules may restrict trading in our common stock and may deter broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.  The following information contains forward-looking statements. (See “Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”)


General


The Company is a shell company that conducts no active business operations and is seeking business opportunities for acquisition or participation by the Company.


The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company’s 2018 audited financial statements addresses an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, indicating that the Company has incurred losses since its inception and has no on-going operations.  The report further indicates that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  At December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $268,622 and an accumulated deficit of $759,238.  The Company incurred net losses of $73,539 and $64,223 for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional debt or equity capital required to continue its operations.  


The Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2017


The Company did not conduct any operations during its fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017, respectively.  At December 31, 2018, the Company had cash in the amount of $31,698 as compared to cash at December 31, 2017 in the amount of $1,724.  The increase in cash from 2018 compared to 2017 is mainly the result of proceeds received from notes payable – related party issued by the Company.


At December 31, 2018, the Company had current liabilities of $300,320, consisting of accounts payable of $28,340, accounts payable – related party of $1,500, accrued interest payable – related party of $11,670, accrued interest of $7,890, notes payable of $95,000, and notes payable – related party of $155,920.  At December 31, 2017, the Company had current liabilities of $189,092, consisting of accounts payable of $8,340, accounts payable – stockholder of $500, accrued interest payable – stockholder of $8,918, accrued interest of $4,334, notes payable of $35,000, and notes payable – stockholder of $132,000.  The Company had a working capital deficit of $268,622 at December 31, 2018 as compared to a working capital deficit of $185,368 at December 31, 2017.



8



The Company did not generate revenues during its 2018 or 2017 fiscal years. The Company’s general and administrative expenses were $53,981 during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $48,220 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company did not expect a significant change in general and administrative expenses.  


The Company incurred a net loss of $73,539 during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to a net loss of $64,223 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The $9,316 increase in net loss in 2018 as compared to 2017 is primarily the result of increased general and administrative expenses and increased interest expense related to notes payable of the Company.  


Net cash used by operating activities was $43,946 during the 2018 fiscal year resulting primarily from the net loss of $73,539, which was offset by depreciation in the amount of $285, a decrease of $2,000 in prepaid expenses, a $21,000 increase in accounts payable and a $6,308 increase in accrued interest.  Net cash used by operating activities was $71,176 during the 2017 fiscal year resulting primarily from the net loss of $64,223, which was offset depreciation in the amount of $286, an increase of $2,000 in prepaid expenses, a $2,649 increase in accounts payable and a $7,888 increase in accrued interest.  


There were no cash flows from investing activities during the 2018 and 2017 fiscal years.     


Net cash provided by financing activities was $73,920 during the 2018 fiscal year which consisted of proceeds received from the issuance of notes payable in the amount of $108,920, the repayment of notes payable of $25,000 and the repurchase of common stock in the amount of $10,000.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,000 during the 2017 fiscal year which consisted of the repayment of convertible notes in the amount of $100,000, and the proceeds from notes payable – stockholder in the amount of $107,000.


The Company cannot presently foresee the cash requirements of any business opportunity which may ultimately be acquired by the Company.  However, since it is likely that any business it acquires will be involved in active business operations, the Company anticipates that an acquisition will result in increased cash requirements as well as increases in the number of employees of the Company.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its 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


Due to the lack of current operations and limited business activities, the Company does not have any accounting policies that it believes are critical to facilitate an investor’s understanding of the Company’s financial and operating status.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has not adopted any new accounting policies that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2018, the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, who is our sole officer and director, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2018 were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act 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/Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.  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, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.  In making this evaluation, our management used the COSO framework (2013), an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2018, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.  


In conducting its evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer identified a weakness in the Company’s internal control, which arises from the fact that the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers are the same person, and that such person is also the sole member of the Company’s board of directors, which does not allow for segregation of duties or provide oversight by a board of directors with members other than the sole officer of the Company.  The Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer believes the weakness is mitigated by the Company’s status as a shell company with no significant assets or liabilities, no business operations, a limited number of transactions each year, and the preparation of quarterly financial statements by an independent accounting firm.  As such, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer does not believe the weakness has a material effect on the accuracy and completeness of our financial reporting and disclosure as included in this report or that the weakness constitutes a material weakness such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or deterred on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director

Certain biographical information with respect to the Company’s sole officer and director is set forth below.


Mark A. Scharmann.  For the past several years Mr. Scharmann has been a private investor in residential real estate and private and public companies.  Mr. Scharmann became interested in investing in emerging growth companies in December 1979 while attending Weber State College. He compiled and edited a publication titled Digest of Stocks Listed on the Intermountain Stock Exchange (Library of Congress Cat. No. 80-82407). In 1981, he compiled and edited an industry directory called the OTC Penny Stock Digest (Library of Congress Cat. No. 80-82471). For the past several years Mr. Scharmann has also consulted with both public and privately held companies relating to management, mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity financing, capital market access, and introductions to investor relations groups. In addition to being and officer and director of the Company, Mr. Scharmann is an officer and director of Spirits Time International, Inc., a beverage industry company listed on the OTC Markets under the symbol (“SRSG”). He is an officer of Roycemore Corporation, a private firm specializing in the development and acquisition of self-storage facilities. Mr. Scharmann is a co-founder of wffl.com and wasatchbasketballleague.com, both youth sports information web sites. He graduated from Weber State University, Ogden, UT in 1997 with a Bachelors of Integrated Studies Degree in Business, Psychology and Health Education.


Director Meetings and Stockholder Meeting Attendance


The Board of Directors held no formal meetings during 2018, and took action by unanimous written consents in lieu of meetings.  Our policy is to encourage, but not require, members of the Board of Directors to attend annual stockholder meetings. We did not have an annual stockholder meeting during the prior year.


Board of Directors


Our board of directors consists of one person; Mark Scharmann.  Our sole director is not “independent” within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(3) of the NASDAQ Marketplace because he is an officer of the Company.


Our board of directors has not appointed any standing committees, there is no separately designated audit committee and the entire board of directors acts as our audit committee.  The board of directors does not have an independent “financial expert” because it does not believe the scope of the Company’s activities to date has justified the expenses involved in obtaining such a financial expert.  In addition, our securities are not listed on a national exchange and we are not subject to the special corporate governance requirements of any such exchange.


The Company does not have a compensation committee and does not pay any compensation to its sole officer and director.  


The Company does not have a standing nominating committee and the Company’s Board of Directors performs the functions that would customarily be performed by a nominating committee.  The Board of Directors does not believe a separate nominating committee is required at this time due to the Company’s lack of business operations and the limited resources of the Company which do not permit it to compensate its directors.  The Board of Directors has not established policies with regard to the consideration of director candidates recommended by security holders or the minimum qualifications of such candidates.



11



Communications with Directors


Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending written communications addressed to the Board of Directors, or any individual director, to: Bioethics, Ltd Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 1661 Lakeview Circle, Ogden, Utah 84403. All communications will be compiled by the corporate secretary and forwarded to the Board of Directors or any individual director, as appropriate.  In order to facilitate a response to any such communication, the Company’s Board of Directors suggests, but does not require, that any such submission include the name and contact information of the shareholder submitting the communication.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance  


The Company does not have a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As a result, no reports are required to be filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act by the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 5% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities.


Code of Ethics


The Company has not adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its executive officers, including its principal executive, financial and accounting officers.  The Company does not believe the adoption of a code of ethics at this time would provide any meaningful additional protection to the Company because the Company has no employees, has only one officer who is also the sole director, and the Company does not conduct any active business operations.


Item 11.  Executive Compensation


Mark Scharmann acts as the sole officer and director of the Company.  Mr. Scharmann does not currently receive any compensation, from the Company.  The Company has not paid any compensation to any officer during the past three years nor has the Company granted any stock options or restricted stock to its officers during the past three years.  


The Company has no retirement, pension, profit sharing, or insurance or medical reimbursement plans covering its officers or directors, and is not contemplating implementing any of these plans at this time.


The Company’s directors do not receive any compensation for serving as directors of the Company and no compensation was paid to the Company’s sole director during the 2018 or 2017 fiscal years.


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


The following table sets forth as of March 18, 2019, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, owned of record or beneficially by each person known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and by each of the Company’s officers and directors, and by all officers and directors as a group.  On such date there were 11,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

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


Beginning August 2017, the Company entered into an oral agreement to pay the Company’s sole director $500 per month as payment for use of his personal residence as the Company’s office and mailing address.  The Company recorded rent expense of $6,000 and $2,500 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in the general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations, of which $1,500 and $500 remains payable at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.


 In December 2017, the Company borrowed $107,000 from its sole officer and director pursuant to an unsecured promissory note.  On various dates during 2018, the officer advanced the Company an additional $5,670, resulting in total note balances of $112,670 and $107,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The cumulative note balance is uncollateralized, due on demand, and accrues interest at 12% per annum.  Interest expense on the note for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $13,177 and $668, respectively. During the year ended 2018, interest in the amount of $5,000 was paid on the note. Accrued interest on the note totaled $8,845 and $668 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.


On March 8, 2018 the Company entered into a promissory note with a newly-affiliated party in the amount of $43,250. The note is payable on demand and carries interest at 10% per annum.  Accrued interest and interest expense as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $2,825, and $2,825, respectively.


Our board of directors consists of one person; Mark Scharmann. Our sole director is not “independent” within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(3) of the NASDAQ Marketplace because he is an officer of the Company.


Item 14.  Principal Accounting Fees and Services


Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C. served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.  PSH performed reviews of our Forms 10-Q for the first three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2018.  On April 3, 2018, the Company dismissed PSH as its independent registered accounting firm and engaged Heaton & Company, PLLC, dba Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah, which performed the audits of our financial statements and Forms 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Bioethics, Ltd.

Ogden, UT

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bioethics, Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (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, 2018 and 2017, 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.

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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

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, has a working capital deficit, 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 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BIOETHICS, LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2018


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Organization - Bioethics, Ltd. (“the Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 26, 1990.  The Company was organized to provide a vehicle for participating in potentially profitable business ventures which may become available through the personal contacts of, and at the complete discretion of, the Company’s officers and directors.  The Company has, at the present time, not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and other relevant factors.


Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Loss Per Share -The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share” [See Note 7].


Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimated.


Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - The FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants.






Fixed Assets - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred, and renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives.  


The Company’s only fixed asset is computer equipment acquired in 2016 with a cost of $1,429 that is depreciated over a useful life of five years.  Depreciation expense was $286 and $286 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively,  resulting in net fixed assets of $798 and $1,083 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.


NOTE 2 - PREPAID EXPENSES


In July 2017, the Company paid $6,000 in professional service fees to be rendered through February 2018, resulting in an expense of $2,000 and $4,000 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The prepaid expense balance was $-0- and $2,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.


NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES


The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, “Income Taxes.”  This standard requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards.


The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of ASC Topic 740, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.


The Company has no tax provisions at December 31, 2018 and 2017, for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.




F-7






BIOETHICS, LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2018


The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2018 and 2017.


Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.


The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  The schedules below reflect the Federal tax provision and valuation allowance using the new rates adjusted in the period of enactment.






Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following components as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

The income tax provision differs from the amount of estimated income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 due to the following:


 

 

2018

-

$

-


At December 31, 2018, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $757,993 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2019 through 2038.  No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2018 or 2017 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.  There is no provision for state taxes, since the Company’s operations have been limited to administrative expenses and fund-raising in the state of its incorporation (Nevada) which has no income tax.


Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations.  Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years. The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.






NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


Management Compensation - For the years ended December 2018 and 2017, the Company did not pay any compensation to its officers and directors.

Notes Payable - In December 2014, the Company borrowed $25,000 from the majority stockholder of the Company pursuant to an unsecured promissory note, which was due on demand and accrued interest at 12% per annum. Accrued interest and interest expense as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $8,250 and $3,000, respectively.  On March 9, 2018 the Company paid the outstanding principal amount of $25,000 and accrued interest of $8,250.


Notes Payable - In December 2017, the Company borrowed $107,000 from its sole officer and director pursuant to an unsecured promissory note.  On various dates during 2018, the officer advanced the Company an additional $5,670, resulting in total note principal balances of $112,670 and $107,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The cumulative note balance is uncollateralized, due on demand, and accrues interest at 12% per annum.  Interest expense on the note for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $13,177 and $668, respectively. During the year ended 2018, interest in the amount of $5,000 was paid on the note. Accrued interest on the note totaled $8,845 and $668 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has incurred losses since its inception and has no on-going operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans, additional sales of its common stock or through a possible business combination.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.






NOTE 7 - LOSS PER SHARE


The following data show the amounts used in computing loss per share:
