The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms SWEE, Registrant, we, us, our, and the Company refer to SweeGen, Inc., a Nevada corporation that was formerly known as Aceway Corp. prior to its name change in December 2014.
Introduction
SweeGen, Inc., formerly Aceway Corp. (the "Company"), is a Nevada corporation incorporated on April 1, 2013. On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with Phytosub, Inc. (Phytosub), and the shareholder of Phytosub (the Phytosub Shareholder), pursuant to which the Phytosub Shareholder transferred all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Phytosub to the Company in exchange for 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The transaction also closed on December 23, 2014. As a result, Phytosub, a Nevada corporation formed on December 5, 2014, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Phytosub Shareholder acquired a controlling interest in the Company (the Share Exchange). For accounting purposes, the Share Exchange was treated as an acquisition of Aceway Corp. and a recapitalization of PhytoSub. PhytoSub is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Aceway Corp. are not carried over and have been adjusted to $0.
On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Armando Espinoza, a former officer and director of the Company, pursuant to which the Company sold and transferred all assets of the Company existing prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange to Mr. Espinoza. The transaction also closed on December 23, 2014. In consideration for the transfer of such assets, Mr. Espinoza (i) surrendered for cancellation 25,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock owned by him; and (ii) assumed any and all liabilities of the Company existing prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange and agreed to assume any and all liabilities of the Company later asserted against the Company that related to the Companys operations prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange. Due to the cancellation of Mr. Espinozas 25,000,000 shares and the issuance of 25,000,000 shares to Phytosub pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Companys issued and outstanding shares of common stock remains 35,000,020 after giving effect to the transactions described above.
The Company intends to leverage the experience of its new corporate and scientific management team, which has extensive experience in managing and developing large and small private and public companies; pathway engineering; microbial platform development; and developing and manufacturing food ingredients, biological products, dietary supplements and botanical extracts. The Company intends to create value for its shareholders by seeking, developing and acquiring, completely or a substantial interest in, companies or assets that would benefit from or that can be developed using the knowledge and expertise of the Companys management team. The Company will utilize various vehicles, as each situation dictates, to reach its goals, including but not limited to merger, acquisition, a substantial shareholder interest, financial investment or a combination of these methods. To date, the Company's activities have been limited to its formation and the raising of equity capital.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Market Information
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, under the symbol "SWEE". Our stock was approved for quotation on the OTCBB on June 5, 2014. However, as of the date of filing this Annual Report, our stock had not traded.
As of September 28, 2015 there were 31 stockholders of record and an aggregate of 35,000,020 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. Of the 35,000,020 shares of common stock outstanding, 25,000,000 were held by Sole Officer & Director and may only be resold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1934, and since we are considered a shell company, any restricted stock will not be eligible for resale under Rule 144 until the conditions of Rule 144(i) are met.
Penny Stock Regulations
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock and subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse).
For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, 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. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their common stock in the secondary market.
5
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Rather, we expect to retain future earnings (if any) to fund the operation and expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any payments of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon our results of operations, earnings, capital requirements, legal and contractual restrictions, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.

Historical Overview
SweeGen, Inc., formerly Aceway Corp., is a Nevada corporation incorporated on April 1, 2013. Aceway Corp.s name changed to SweeGen, Inc. effective January 9, 2015 in connection with the adoption of an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.
We intend to leverage the experience of its new corporate and scientific management team, which has extensive experience in managing and developing large and small private and public companies; pathway engineering; microbial platform development; and developing and manufacturing food ingredients, biological products, dietary supplements and botanical extracts, the Company intends to create value for its shareholders by seeking, developing and acquiring, completely or a substantial interest in, companies or assets that would benefit from or that can be developed using the knowledge and expertise of the Companys management team. The Company will utilize various vehicles, as each situation dictates, to reach its goals, including but not limited to merger, acquisition, a substantial shareholder interest, financial investment or a combination of these methods. To date, the Company's activities have been limited to its formation and the raising of equity capital.
On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with Phytosub, Inc. (Phytosub), and the shareholder of Phytosub (the Phytosub Shareholder), pursuant to which the Phytosub Shareholder transferred all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Phytosub to the Company in exchange for 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The transaction also closed on December 23, 2014. As a result, Phytosub, a Nevada corporation formed on December 5, 2014, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Phytosub Shareholder acquired a controlling interest in the Company (the Share Exchange). For accounting purposes, the Share Exchange was treated as an acquisition of Aceway Corp. and a recapitalization of PhytoSub. PhytoSub is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Aceway Corp. are not carried over and have been adjusted to $0.

On December 23, 2014, the Company also entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Armando Espinoza, a former officer and director of the Company, pursuant to which the Company sold and transferred all assets of the Company existing prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange to Mr. Espinoza. In consideration for the transfer of such assets, Mr. Espinoza (i) surrendered for cancellation all 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company owned by him; and (ii) assumed any and all liabilities of the Company existing prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange and agreed to assume any and all liabilities of the Company later asserted against the Company that related to the Companys operations prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange.
Giving effect to the cancellation of Mr. Espinozas 25,000,000 shares and the issuance of 25,000,000 shares to the PhystoSub Shareholder pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Companys issued and outstanding common stock at June 30, 2015 remained 35,000,020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Currently our Sole Officer & Director and majority shareholder has committed to provide the capital to cover our ongoing regulatory costs for the next 12 months. We do not have sufficient funds for any business development over the next 12 months. We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. We may seek to raise additional funds in the future particularly if we begin to deploy our business plan. Therefore our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price, or non-trading, of our common stock or a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to deploy our business model and may reduce our ability to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
There is no historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage company and have generated no revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in developing our products, and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.
While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any activities involving variable interest entities or off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We do not believe that the adoption of any recently issued accounting standards will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
SweeGen, Inc.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of SweeGen, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2015 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2015 the results of its operation and its cash flows for the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred an accumulated deficit of $68,205 for the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SweeGen, Inc., formerly Aceway Corp. (the "Company"), is a Nevada corporation incorporated on April 1, 2013. On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with Phytosub, Inc. (Phytosub), and the shareholder of Phytosub (the Phytosub Shareholder), pursuant to which the Phytosub Shareholder transferred all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Phytosub to the Company in exchange for 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, Phytosub, a Nevada corporation formed on December 5, 2014, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Phytosub Shareholder acquired a controlling interest in the Company (the Share Exchange). The Phytosub Shareholder, Steven Chen, is now our President, Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and sole Director (the Sole Officer & Director) For accounting purposes, the Share Exchange was treated as an acquisition of Aceway Corp. and a recapitalization of PhytoSub. PhytoSub is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Aceway Corp. are not carried over and have been adjusted to $0.
On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Armando Espinoza, a former officer and director of the Company, pursuant to which the Company sold and transferred all assets of the Company existing prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange to Mr. Espinoza. In consideration for the transfer of such assets, Mr. Espinoza (i) surrendered for cancellation 25,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock owned by him; and (ii) assumed any and all liabilities of the Company existing prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange and agreed to assume any and all liabilities of the Company later asserted against the Company that related to the Companys operations prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange. Due to the cancellation of Mr. Espinozas 25,000,000 shares and the issuance of 25,000,000 shares to Phytosub pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Companys issued and outstanding shares of common stock remains 35,000,020 after giving effect to the transactions described above.
The Company is a company that intends to leverage the experience of its new corporate and scientific management team, which has extensive experience in managing and developing large and small private and public companies; pathway engineering; microbial platform development; and developing and manufacturing food ingredients, biological products, dietary supplements and botanical extracts. The Company intends to create value for its shareholders by seeking, developing and acquiring, completely or a substantial interest in, companies or assets that would benefit from or that can be developed using the knowledge and expertise of the Companys management team. The Company will utilize various vehicles, as each situation dictates, to reach its goals, including but not limited to merger, acquisition, a substantial shareholder interest, financial investment or a combination of these methods. To date, the Company's activities have been limited to its formation and the raising of equity capital.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The capital account of the Company has been retroactively restated to reflect the equivalent number of common shares based on the exchange ratio of the merger transaction in the basic and diluted weighted-average shares, effective December 23, 2014.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SweeGen Inc and its wholly owned subsidiary Phytosub from December 5, 2014 (inception) to June 30, 2015. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to investment tax credits, bad debts, income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-6
Start-Up Costs
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 720, "Start-up Costs", the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $0 in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015.
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share," which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share:

The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.
Share-based Expenses
ASC 718 "Compensation Stock Compensation" (ASC 718) prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options or other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
There were no share-based expenses for the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015
F-7
Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 "Income Taxes" (ASC 740). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of June 30, 2015.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company's management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
Financial Instruments
The Company follows ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" (ASC 820), which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value of accrued expenses and due to shareholder approximates their carrying amounts because of their immediate or short term maturity.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. During the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015, a company owned by the Companys Sole Officer & Director, loaned the Company $64,005 to pay for professional fees.
F-8
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of June 30, 2015.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The revenue recognition standard affects all entities that have contracts with customers, except for certain items. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction-and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. Public entities are required to adopt the revenue recognition standard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Early adoption is not permitted for public entities. The Company has reviewed the applicable ASU and due to the absence of revenues, believes that there will be no material effect on the financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as "development stage entities". The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs, by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company has adopted this standard and future filings will reflect the removal of development stage reporting.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. A performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition under ASC 718. As a result, the target is not reflected in the estimation of the award's grant date fair value. Compensation cost would be recognized over the required service period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Management has reviewed the ASU and believes that the Company currently accounts for these awards in a manner consistent with the new guidance. Therefore there is no anticipation of any effect to the financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under U.S. GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity's liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity's liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30 of this ASU, Presentation of Financial StatementsLiquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity's liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this ASU should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU. However, management does not believe that the Company has met conditions which would subject the Companys financial statements to additional disclosure.
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company's management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
F-9
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit and working capital deficit of $68,205 for the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015. The Company has not established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating cost, and requires additional capital to commence its operating plan. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan to obtain such resources for the Company include: sales of equity instruments; traditional financing, such as loans; and obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. The obtainment of financing, the successful development of the Companys contemplated plan of operations, or its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
NOTE 4 - EQUITY
Authorized Stock
The Companys Articles of Incorporation authorize 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the Company is sought.
Common Shares
The only shares issued during the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015 were issued on December 23, 2014, in connection with the Exchange Agreement, whereby the Company issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock. Due to the cancellation of the 25,000,000 shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of 25,000,000 shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Companys issued and outstanding common shares remained 35,000,020.
The Company issued 10,000,020 shares to 30 unaffiliated investors for $30,000 cash, pursuant to the S-1 registration. The Company closed its offering in April 2014.

NOTE 5 -PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company has not made provision for income taxes for the period since date of inception through June 30, 2015, since the Company has had net operating losses since inception.
Due to uncertainties surrounding the Company's ability to generate future taxable income to realize deferred income tax assets arising as a result of net operating losses carried forward, the Company has not recorded any deferred income tax asset as of June 30, 2015. The Company has an operating loss of $68,205 since the reverse acquisition. The net operating losses carryforward will begin to expire in varying amounts from year 2033, subject to its eligibility as determined by respective tax regulating authorities.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the income tax laws of United States of America, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. When a change in ownership occurs, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and certain state jurisdictions. The Company has not taken any uncertain tax positions, however, has open tax years subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Services for the years beginning in 2013.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

NOTE 6 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement, and the Phytosub Shareholder, now our Sole Officer & Director, received 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the transaction. As a result, Phytosub, a Nevada corporation formed on December 5, 2014, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Sole Officer & Director acquired a controlling interest in the Company.
On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Armando Espinoza, a former officer and director of the Company, pursuant to which the Company sold and transferred all assets of the Company existing prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange to Mr. Espinoza. In consideration for the transfer of such assets, Mr. Espinoza (i) surrendered for cancellation 25,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock owned by him; and (ii) assumed any and all liabilities of the Company existing prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange and agreed to assume any and all liabilities of the Company later asserted against the Company that related to the Companys operations prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange.
The Company does not own or lease property or lease office space. The office space used by the Company was arranged by the founder of the Company to use at no charge.
During the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015, a company owned by the Companys Sole Officer & Director loaned the Company $64,005 to pay for professional fees. There is no written or expressed policy for continuation of future advances. The amounts advanced are considered payable upon demand and are non-interest bearing.
The amounts and terms of the above transactions may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have been no disagreements with our accountants since our formation required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K. See Footnote 8 to the financial statements (Subsequent Events), or our 8-K filed July 28, 2015, for a detailed description of our change in Certifying Accountant.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the year ended June 30, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015 due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, (2) lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (3) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (4) management dominated by a single individual without adequate compensating controls. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive and Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of June 30, 2015.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-K has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to developed procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. Based on our assessment, management identified significant deficiencies related to: (i) our internal audit functions, and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. As a result, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2015, the Companys internal control over financial reporting were not effective based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 any policies and procedures may deteriorate. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. We are in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system however there can be no assurance that implementation of any change will be completed in a timely manner or that it will be adequate once implemented. To the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. We believe that the foregoing steps will help remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting since one is not required.
Officers' Certifications
Appearing as exhibits to this Annual Report are "Certifications" of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Certifications are required pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Section 302 Certifications"). This section of the Annual Report contains information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certification. This information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Over the past 5 years Mr. Chen has been the President or Chief Financial Officer of Phyto Tech Corporation, ProTab Laboratories, Conagen, Inc. and Wuxi NewWay Biomanufacturing Company, Ltd.
Board Qualification
The Board believes that our sole director is highly qualified to serve as a member of the Board. When evaluating candidates for election to the Board, the Board seeks candidates with certain qualities that it believes are important, including integrity, an objective perspective, good judgment and leadership skills. Our director is highly educated and has a diverse background, and has talents and an extensive track record of success in what we believe are highly relevant positions.
Term of Office
Each director is elected until our next annual meeting and until their successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board of Directors may also appoint additional directors up to the maximum number permitted under our by-laws. Each executive officer serves at the discretion of the Board of Directors and holds office until their successor is elected or until their resignation or removal in accordance with our articles of incorporation and by-laws.

F-11
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
The Company's common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Accordingly, officers, directors and principal shareholders are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
Board Independence
We currently have one director serving on our Board of Directors. We are not a listed issuer and, as such, are not subject to any director independence standards. Using the definition of independent director, as defined by Section 5605(a)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market Mr. Chen would not be considered an independent director of the Company.
Board Committees
We expect to appoint a nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee, in the future. Given our size and the development of our business to date, we believe that the board through its meetings can presently perform all of the duties and responsibilities that might be contemplated by such committees. Except as may be provided in our bylaws, we do not currently have specified procedures in place pursuant to which whereby security holders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors.
Audit Committee
Currently the Company is developing a comprehensive Board of Directors and does not have an Audit Committee. The Company intends to appoint audit, compensation and other applicable committee members as it appoints individuals with pertinent expertise.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors does not have a member that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Board and Committee Meetings
Our board of directors currently consists of only one member, Steven Chen. The Board held no formal meetings during the period from inception (December 5, 2014) to June 30, 2015. Until the Company develops a more comprehensive Board of Directors, all proceedings will be conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.
Nomination Process
As at June 30, 2015, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company's requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.
Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a Code of Ethics although we expect to as we develop our infrastructure and business.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Due to the small size of the Company, we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined.
F-12
Our Board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of our board of directors. The Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. The Board focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our companys general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the Boards appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing us and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.
