PART I
Item 1.
Business
Overview
MoPals.com, Inc.
(f/k/a MortgageBrokers.com Holdings, Inc. which was f/k/a MagnaData, Inc.) (the “Company”, “we”, “our”,
“us” or “Mopals”), a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on February
6, 2003. In February 2005, we filed articles of amendment with the State of Delaware changing the name of our Company from MagnaData,
Inc. to MortgageBrokers.com Holdings, Inc. On March 26, 2013, we filed articles of amendment with the State of Delaware changing
the name of our Company to MoPals.com, Inc.
Discontinued Operations of Mortgage Brokerage Business
Prior to March
26, 2013, the Company operated as a mortgage brokerage in Canada through its four subsidiaries: MortgageBrokers.com Inc. (an Ontario
Canada provincially incorporated company that held licensure for operating as a mortgage broker in the Province of Ontario); MortgageBrokers.com
Financial Group of Companies Inc. (a Canadian federally incorporated company, which held licenses for operating as a mortgage
broker in the Provinces of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Alberta and British Columbia); MBKR
Holdings Inc. (a Canadian federally incorporated company through which the Company centralized back office services in Canada);
and, MBKR Franchising Inc. (a Canadian federally incorporated company, through which the Company acted as a franchisor in Canada
of the MortgageBrokers.com business system).
All business activities
of the Company in the first quarter of 2013 were related to privatizing the mortgage brokerage business; activities related to
the administration of the publicly reporting entity; and administration of the business including management of trades payables.
On March 26, 2013,
the Company entered into an agreement of sale (the “Agreement of Sale”) pursuant to which the Company transferred
to MortgageBrokers.com Canada Inc., a Canadian Corporation under the control of Alex Haditaghi, the Company’s sole officer,
director and principal shareholder, all of the Company’s equity interest in the Company’s former mortgage brokerage
business and MortgageBrokers.com Canada Inc. agreed to assume any and all liabilities associated with the Company’s former
mortgage broker business, including, but not limited to all commitments, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Pursuant to the
Agreement of Sale, Mr. Haditaghi forfeited all rights to any monies owed to Mr. Haditaghi by the Company associated with a shareholder
loan of approximately $25,000.
Plan of Operations
MoPals is a development
stage company which currently devotes all of its resources developing its core technology and platform, business, sales and marketing
plans, acquiring users and retail customers, raising investment capital and building the sales and software development team.
The primary focus of our
plan of operations is to raise capital to fund day to day business expenses and to fuel sales activities which management believes
will result in revenue generation. Current management has also identified the need to add to the existing management team in the
areas of operations and finance/accounting.
MoPals Service, Distribution and Market
MoPals is building
an internet and mobile brand loyalty application and service that the Company believes will bridge the gap between social media
and loyalty rewards. It is management’s opinion that our service will be unique as the world’s first community-driven,
crowd sourced loyalty platform. With a mobile-based, experiential and Big Data-driven platform, it is our intent to reward our
members for both social and transactional behaviors. It is our plan that MoPals will use an exclusive digital currency, called
‘MoCoins™’, to foster a community where consumers are rewarded for making purchases at participating businesses,
as well as engaging in a wide range of social media activities that enhance brand value.
Our consumer behavior
incentives are centered around MoCoins™ which are earned by members for a number of online and ‘in-store’ behaviors
within a consumer’s social network including rewards for promotional participation; ‘liking’, sharing or reviewing
an experience at a business; referring business promotions; creating content driving polls; or referring friends to join the MoPals
community. MoPals aims to be a leader in how brands inspire customer loyalty, driving online brand enhancing behavior and sales.
It is our aim that
our technology platform will enable businesses to connect with their customers, giving businesses a cost effective means to encourage
and reward brand enhancing behavior. It is our intent that our proprietary platform under development will also allow businesses
to receive data associated with their consumer’s behavior from which they might target promotional offers and marketing
strategies.
Following our service launch, our plan
is that MoPals will generate revenue from:
|
1.
|
participating
merchant subscriptions to receive ongoing consumer data; and
|
|
2.
|
receiving
a percentage of promotion-based sales revenue from participating businesses.
|
In addition to
the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, it is management’s belief that growth of our Company will
also, in part, be demonstrated through the metrics of MoCoins™ issued or accrued, the number of registered members, number
and types of promotional items sold, member retention via repeat engagement and the number of retail businesses who sign on to
and offer promotions through the MoPals community.
Market Conditions
The Company believes that MoPals bridges
both the ‘Social Media’ and ‘Loyalty Program’ market places.
Social Media
The Company has
observed significant growth in sales and users for market dominant social media companies over the past three to five years. Facebook
Inc., for example, has seen their gross revenue grow from $1.97 billion in 2010 to $7.87 billion in 2013 (
Annual Financial
Reports, Facebook Inc., 2010 – 2013
) – approximately 300% over three years. Twitter Inc.’s gross revenue
has grown from $106 million in 2011 to $665 million in 2013 (
Annual Financial Reports, Twitter Inc., 2011 – 2013
)
- approximately 525% over two years.
According to emarketer.com
in a June 18, 2013 on-line article, social media company sales and profits are closely linked to the number of users on the platform.
The amount of global social network users was estimated at 1.73 billion people in 2013, up 18% from 2012. Social networking reaches
nearly one in four people around the world. According to Emily Adler as published on businessinsider.com on January 5, 2014, social
media users are highly engaged. Social media is now the top Internet activity: Americans spend an average of 37 minutes daily
on social media, a higher time-spend than any other major Internet activity including email.
Loyalty Programs
The Company believes
that the loyalty program industry, a generally mature market space, can be characterized by high growth rates and innovative ideas.
According to an
article by McKinsey & Company published in Business Insider on March 21, 2014, the loyalty program industry growth rate still
remains strong, even with customers already belonging to a large amount of programs. In the United States alone, loyalty memberships
have been increasing by the annual compound rate of 8.7% since 2000 and the total loyalty program members in the U.S. are estimated
at 2.5 billion in 2012. However, the amount of active loyalty memberships (meaning members had engaged at least once in the past
12 months) appears to be declining and was measured at 44% in 2012.
According to McKinsey
& Company, many companies have been successfully innovating in the loyalty space. One such example is Target Corporation,
which uses the data gained from their loyalty program to focus on highest-value consumers such as future moms. Another example
is Sainsbury PLC, which built partnerships among many different retailers to deliver strong value to its loyalty program members.
Both companies’ success in the loyalty space is attributed to their innovations.
Competitive Market Conditions
In industries as
valuable as Social Media and Loyalty, there are many large competitors with dominant market share positions.
The four main competitors
to MoPals are Yelp Inc., Foursquare Labs, Inc., Alliance Data Systems Corporation (Air Miles
)
and Aimia Inc. (Aeroplan).
Yelp
Yelp, Inc. is a
multinational corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California that operates an "online urban guide" and business
review site. According to Wikipedia.com, the company's website (www.yelp.com) began as an email service for exchanging local business
recommendations and later introduced social networking features, discounts, and mobile applications.
Foursquare
Foursquare is a
location-based social networking website for mobile devices, such as smartphones. Users "check in" at venues using a
mobile website, text messaging or a device-specific application by selecting from a list of venues the application locates nearby.
Each check-in awards the user points and sometimes "badges". The user who ‘checks in’ most often to a venue
becomes the "mayor," and users regularly vie for "mayorships".
In an article written
by Sarah Frier for Bloomberg Businessweek on April 11, 2013, Foursquare received a $41 million investment from private equity
fund Silver Lake Partners and venture capital firms Andreessen Horowitz, Union Square Ventures, O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures,
and Spark Capital in early April of 2014. Early investment rounds valued the company at $600 million.
Aimia
Aeroplan is a coalition
loyalty program owned by Aimia Inc., a global loyalty management company. The Aeroplan program was created in July 1984 by Air
Canada as an incentive program for its frequent flyer customers. There are approximately 4.6 million active members in the program.
In recent years, Aeroplan has evolved into a loyalty marketing program with retail partners such as Esso, Home Hardware, Rona,
Birks, Sobeys, Thrifty Foods, Nestle Canada and others.
Alliance Data (Air Miles)
Alliance Data Systems
Corporation is a publicly traded provider of loyalty and marketing solutions, such as private label credit cards, coalition loyalty
programs, and direct marketing services, derived from the capture and analysis of transaction-rich data.
Strategic Market Positioning
Management believes
that there is presently an overall lack of recent innovation and customer engagement in the loyalty program industry and view
it as an opportunity to leverage the innovative strength and tools of social media in the brand loyalty market place. Company
management also believe that the strength of the current market dominant competitors and the ongoing elevated degree of acquisitions
in the social media and brand loyalty marketplaces may afford MoPals additional opportunities for growth.
The Company feels
it has an advantage being a later entrant into the social media and brand loyalty markets which allows it to see what has worked
for competitors in each market and how to improve upon it leveraging successes from one market into the other. The Company also
feels that building a ‘Big-Data’ member platform can now be accomplished very cost effectively by outsourcing to off-shore
developers.
MoPals Technology Platform & Service
MoPals’ software
is planned to be multi-platform and will aim to integrate with all major social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,
Instagram, and Pinterest. Our product development approach is centered on building the most useful tools that enable users to
connect, share, discover, and communicate with each other. Our services for users are free of charge to consumers and available
on the internet and mobile platforms.
The MoPals’
proprietary software allows merchants to send customized and targeted brand promotions to our MoPals’ members using the
wealth of information that is being volunteered over social media sites.
Our service will include:
|
i.

MoPals’ members.

|
|
|
|
vi.

Our
members can earn MoCoins™ for joining, liking a brand, purchasing a promotion, sharing their promotion and creating
and responding to surveys.
|
Intellectual Property
We protect our
core technology and intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state/provincial and common law rights, as well as contractual
restrictions. We control access to our proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees,
contractors and third parties.
In addition to
these contractual arrangements, we may also rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade
dress, domain names and patents to protect our intellectual property. We may pursue the registration of certain copyrights, trademarks,
service marks and domain names in Canada and the United States and potentially in certain locations outside these areas.
Regulatory Matters and Compliance
We are subject
to a number of Canadian federal and provincial, as well as American federal and state laws and regulations affecting companies
conducting business on the internet. As we expand, we may be subject to similar laws and regulations in jurisdictions outside
of Canada and the United States. These laws are constantly evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in a variety
of ways that could harm our business. These laws and regulations may involve such areas as taxation, tariffs, privacy and protection
of personal data, rights of publicity, content, intellectual property, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications,
on-line sweepstakes and contests, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, and the provision of online payment
services, among other areas.
It is not clear
how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the
internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the internet and do not contemplate or address
the unique issues raised by the internet or e-commerce.
We are also subject
to federal, state, provincial and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of user data. Foreign data protection, privacy,
and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the United States. U.S. federal and state and foreign
laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. In addition, the application and interpretation
of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly-evolving industry in which we operate.
There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress, various state legislative bodies, and foreign
governments concerning data protection which could affect us. For example, a revision to the 1995 European Union Data Protection
Directive is currently being considered by legislative bodies that may include more stringent operational requirements for data
processors and significant penalties for non-compliance.
We post our Privacy
Policy and Terms of Service online, in which we describe our practices concerning the use, transmission and disclosure of user
data. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policy or privacy related laws and regulations could result in proceedings
against us by governmental authorities or others, which could harm our business. In addition, the interpretation of data protection
laws, and their application to the Internet is unclear and in a state of flux. There is a risk that these laws may be interpreted
and applied in conflicting ways from state to state, province to province, country to country, or region to region, and in a manner
that is not consistent with our current data protection practices. Complying with these varying international requirements could
cause us to incur additional costs and change our business practices. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect our players’
privacy and data could result in a loss of player confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of players, which could
adversely affect our business.
Offers and/or MoCoins™
may be considered gift cards, gift certificates, stored value cards or prepaid cards and therefore governed by, among other laws,
the CARD Act and state and provincial laws governing gift cards, stored value cards and coupons. Many of these laws contain provisions
governing the use of gift cards, gift certificates, stored value cards or prepaid cards, including specific disclosure requirements
and prohibitions or limitations on the use of expiration dates and the imposition of certain fees. If Offers and/or MoCoins™
are subject to the CARD Act, the value of the Offer and/or Miles must not expire before the later of (i) five years after
the date on which the Offer and/or MoCoins™ were issued; and (ii) the Offer and/or MoCoins™’ expiration
date (if any).
In addition, certain
states and foreign jurisdictions have requirements for disclosure and service terms and conditions, including expiration dates
and permissible fees that might apply to Mopals. Some states and foreign jurisdictions also include gift cards under their unclaimed
and abandoned property laws which require companies to remit to the government the value of the unredeemed balance on the gift
cards after a specified period of time (generally between one and five years) and impose certain reporting and recordkeeping obligations.
We do not remit any amounts relating to unredeemed Offers and/or MoCoins™ based upon our assessment of applicable laws.
The analysis of the potential application of the unclaimed and abandoned property laws to Offers and/or MoCoins™ is complex,
involving an analysis of constitutional and statutory provisions and factual issues, including our relationship with customers
and merchants and our role as it relates to the issuance and delivery of an Offer and/or MoCoins™.
Many states have
passed laws requiring notification to subscribers when there is a security breach of personal data. There are also a number of
legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress, various state legislative bodies and foreign governments concerning data
protection. In addition, data protection laws in Europe and other jurisdictions outside the United States may be more restrictive,
and the interpretation and application of these laws are still uncertain and in flux. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted
and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could
result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Furthermore,
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has provisions that limit, but do not necessarily eliminate, our liability for linking to
third-party websites that include materials that infringe copyrights or other rights, so long as we comply with the statutory
requirements of this act.
Various laws and
regulations in the United States, Canada, and abroad, such as the Bank Secrecy Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, and
the Credit CARD Act impose certain anti-money laundering requirements on companies that are financial institutions or that provide
financial products and services. For these purposes, financial institutions are broadly defined to include money services businesses
such as money transmitters, check cashers and sellers or issuers of stored value. Examples of anti-money laundering requirements
imposed on financial institutions include customer identification and verification programs, record retention policies and procedures
and transaction reporting. We do not believe that we are a financial institution subject to these laws and regulations based,
in part, on the characteristics of the offers and/or MoCoins™ and our role with respect to the distribution of the offers
and/or MoCoins™ to customers. However, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a division of the U.S. Treasury Department
tasked with implementing the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, recently proposed amendments to the scope and requirements
for parties involved in stored value or prepaid access, including a proposed expansion of the definition of financial institution
to include sellers or issuers of prepaid access. In the event that this proposal is adopted as proposed, it is possible that an
offer and/or the MoCoins™ could be considered a financial product and that we could be a financial institution.
Additionally, the
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
(“PIPEDA”)
(Canada) requires organizations to take reasonable steps to safeguard the personal information in their custody or control from
such risks as unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or destruction.
The first
step in developing reasonable safeguards is to collect only the personal information that is needed for a particular purpose.
If it is not needed, organizations should not collect it. But if they do, they need to take appropriate precautions.
In addition, because
our services are accessible worldwide, certain foreign jurisdictions have claimed and others may claim that we are required to
comply with their laws, including in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees, or infrastructure.
Employees & Independent Contractors
As
of April 26, 2016, we had one (1) full-time employee and ten (10) independent contractors
. None of these
employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements. The Company considers its relations with its employees and
independent contractors to be in good standing.

private placement to settle director fees, consultant and employee compensation.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company agreed to grant 2,109,000 common shares to certain employees.
Of these common shares, 675,000 vest over 12 months, 750,000 vest over 18 months and the remaining 684,000 vest immediately. These
shares were valued at $527,250 based on the current stock price at the date of grant of $0.25 and an estimated forfeiture rate
of 56%, of which $214,947 was accrued at December 31, 2015 and recorded as stock based compensation on the consolidated statements
of operations.
Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act
The Company
issued restricted shares of its common stock. They were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not
a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size
of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high
number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, this shareholder had the necessary investment intent as required
by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted
pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed
into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have
met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for these transactions.

|
1.
|
No

|
|
2.
|
Operating
expenses in 2015 were $2,149,388 as compared with $2,293,734 in 2014. Most
of the year over year operating expense difference was related to a 13.6% foreign exchange
increase in 2015 over 2014 as most of the Company’s expenses are incurred in Canadian
dollars; and,

|
Loss
from operations of $2,149,388 in 2015 as compared to a loss of $2,293,734 in 2014. Most

|
Revenue Trend Analysis
Our development
stage Company had no revenue reported in 2015 or 2014.
Expense Trend Analysis
All expense trends,
on a year over year basis, have been affected by a 13.6% foreign exchange increase in 2015 over 2014 as most of the Company’s
expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars.
On a U.S. dollar
basis, our expenses have decreased 6.3% in 2015 to $2,149,388 as compared to our second full year of operations in 2014 at $2,293,735.
On a Canadian dollar basis, our expenses were relatively flat year over year, having increased 8.47% in 2015 over 2014.
Expense trends noted
by management over the past two years are as follows:
|
●
|
our cost of labour associated with employees and consultants decreased by 11.5% to $1,199,834 in 2015 as compared to $1,355,922 in 2014. This was primarily due to the net effect of a relatively flat year over year expense in Canadian dollars (increased 2.4% in 2015 as compared to 2014) and 13.6% foreign exchange increase in 2015 over 2014;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our general and administrative expenses increased 5.2% to $386,815 in 2015 from $367,614 in 2014. This was primarily due to the net effect of a 21.8% increase in 2015 Canadian dollar expenses as compared to 2014 associated with advertising and business development expense increases and a 13.6% foreign exchange increase in 2015 over 2014;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our occupancy costs regionally decreased 6.3% to $132,132 from $141,022 in 2014. This was primarily due to the net effect of an 8.5% increase in 2015 Canadian dollar expenses as compared to 2014 associated with an office lease rent increase that commenced in August of 2015 and a 13.6% foreign exchange increase in 2015 over 2014;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
share-based compensation decreased 0.9% to $414,877 in 2015 from $418,827 in 2014. This was primarily due to the net effect of a 14.7% decrease in 2015 Canadian dollar expenses as compared to 2014 associated with cancellation of all share-based compensation accruals for the board of directors who all resigned in the early part of 2015 and a 13.6% foreign exchange increase in 2015 over 2014;
|
Since inception
to the end of the reporting period, the Company accumulated a deficit of $6,147,574.
Liquidity
At December 31,
2015, we had $6,079 in cash and $295,253 in prepaid expenses and other assets for a total of $301,332 in current assets. Comparatively,
at December 31, 2014, we had $143,482 in cash and $243,964 in prepaid expenses for a total of $387,446 in current assets.
At December 31,
2015, we had $231,726 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $832,831 in employee tax deductions payable, $2,644 in accrued
MoCoins™ liability, $14,924 in accrued stock-based compensation and $1,429,055 in loans from shareholders for a total of
$2,511,180 in liabilities. Comparatively as of December 31, 2014, we had $255,078 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
$500,139 employee tax deductions payable, $1,855 in accrued MoCoins™ liability, $14,924 in accrued stock-based compensation
and $1,125,671 in loans from shareholders for a total of $1,897,667 in liabilities.
Management makes
the following comments regarding the most significant factors affecting Company liquidity and their measured trends over the reporting
period as compared to 2014:
|
a)
|
Cash and cash equivalents associated with continuing operations has decreased 95.8% to $6,079 in 2015 from
$143,482 in 2014. This is a result of ongoing operations with no revenue and limited investment capital.
|
|
b)
|
The Company has a Canadian harmonized sales tax refund accrual of $136,359 as a receivable owing to them from the Canadian federal government.
|
|
c)
|
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased 9.2% to $231,726 in 2015 as compared to $255,078 in 2014.
This is associated primarily with a decrease in board of director fee accruals as five members of board resigned in early 2015.
|
|
d)
|
Employee
tax deductions payable grew 66.5% to $832,831 in 2015 as compared to $500,139 in 2014.
The Company is in arrears on the tax withholdings related to employee source deductions
on salaries due to Canada Revenue Agency.
|
|
e)
|
Stock-based compensation accruals fluctuate year to year. The accrual is valued based on stock prices at the end of the period, grant prices and vesting terms for which the Company has no direct influence. Thus, it is difficult to analyze related trends. The Company anticipates that it will continue to negotiate stock-based compensation arrangements to maximize working capital resources.
|
Capital Resources
Our Company had no reported revenue
in fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, 2014, or since inception.
The Company decreased
its total cash and cash equivalent position at the end of 2015 to $6,079 from $143,482 the previous year as a direct result of
a net cash flow out of the Company from operating activities during the reporting period of $1,330,196, a net cash flow into the
Company of $980,103 as a result of financing activities during the reporting period and $3,883 of cash used in investing activities.
As at December 31, 2015, with no means to generate revenue and until such time as our operating expenses are augmented with revenue,
the Company relies upon loans from shareholders and the purchase and sale of common stock via investor subscription agreements
to fund our development stage operations. There is no guarantee that there will be a market for the Company’s common stock,
an ability to raise investment capital, or an ability to procure shareholder loans in the future to fund our future operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Significant Accounting Policies and
New Pronouncements
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to select appropriate
accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses.
The following is the most significant accounting policy that
has a substantive impact on the underlying discussions and analysis:
Stock-based Compensation
The Company maintains
a stock-based compensation plan under which incentive stock options to buy common stock may be granted to directors, officers and
employees. Pursuant to ASC 718, the Company recognizes expense for its stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the
awards that are granted. The fair values of stock options are estimated at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model, that require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Measured compensation cost is recognized ratably over the
vesting period of the related stock-based compensation award. The amount recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect the number
of stock options expected to vest. When exercised, stock options are settled through the issuance of common stock and are therefore
treated as equity awards. The expected volatility of our commons stock is estimated based on the historical performance of the
stock.
The Company does not expect the adoption
of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial
position or cash flow.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-02, Leases, which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and creates a new topic, ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees
to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months
on its balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. ASU 2016-02
is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.
Item 7A. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exempt from
reporting this item as a smaller reporting company.
Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data
The financial statements
of the Company appear at the end of this report beginning with the Index to Financial Statements on page F-1.
Item 9. Changes
in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures
As of the end of
the period covered by this report, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d -15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on their evaluation of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation
of the Company’s management, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
as of December 31, 2015, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is(a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Specifically, our
management identified certain matters involving internal control and our operations that it considered to be material weaknesses.
As defined in the Exchange Act, a material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant’s annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified by our management
as of December 31, 2015, is described below:
|
●
|
We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. This control deficiency is pervasive in nature. Further, there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements including disclosures will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis as a result.
|
As a result of the
material weakness identified above, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2015.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control
system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation
and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. The framework used by
management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated
Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our
management has determined and concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company’s internal controls over financial
reporting were not effective.
Management’s assessment identified
several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A “material weakness” is defined under
SEC rules as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls. Our management concluded that we had material weaknesses
in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following as of the evaluation date:
|
1)
|
lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal control and procedures;
|
|
2)
|
lack of accounting personnel with adequate experience and training; and
|
|
3)
|
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
|
As of the date of this report, the Company
does not intend to remedy the foregoing and therefore such material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting
process will continue. A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the
objectives of the system of controls 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.
This Report does not include an attestation
report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's
report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during our fourth quarter ended December
31, 2015, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
None.

Compensation of Directors & Director Agreements
On April 20, 2015, Todd Halpern resigned from the Company’s board of directors. On May 13, 2015, Steve
Gupta resigned from the Company’s board of directors. On May 14, 2015, Ralph Lean, Luce Veilleux and Greivis Vasquez resigned

disagreement between these board members and the Company’s management over the strategic direction of the company, and the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, being the majority shareholder, would have the right to dismiss the board members.

Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table sets forth certain
information regarding our shares of common stock beneficially owned as of April 26, 2016, for (i) each stockholder known to be
the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each named executive officer and director, and
(iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. A person is considered to beneficially own any shares: (i) over which such

Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
Sale of unregistered securities
On February 9, 2015,
a director of the Company delivered $24,467 to purchase 100,000 common shares of the Company issued at $0.25 per share.
On March 9, 2015,
a director of the Company delivered $102,000 and settled $78,000 of accrued director fees to exercise 600,000 stock options into
common shares of the Company at a weighted average exercise price of $0.30 per share.
On November 5, 2015,
the Company issued 1,389,000 common shares valued at $0.25 per common share based on the current stock price in the most recent
private placement to former directors of the Company to settle director fees, consultant and employee compensation.
Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act
The Company
issued restricted shares of its common stock. They were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering
was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the
deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in
which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, this shareholder had the necessary
investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that
such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not
be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis
of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for
these transactions.
Advances
As of December
31, 2015, the controlling shareholder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a company controlled by this same individual
had advanced $1,429,055 (as at December 31, 2014 - $1,125,671) to fund the working capital of the Company. The advances are unsecured,
non-interest bearing and due on demand.
Shared Services
During 2013, Pacific
Mortgage Group Inc. (“PMGI”), charged the Company rent of $89,576 (2012 - $21,608). PMGI and the Company are under
common control.
Director Independence
Because our common
stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The
NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director”
is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion
of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities
of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
|
●
|
the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
|
|
●
|
the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
|
|
●
|
a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
|
|
●
|
the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); or
|
|
●
|
the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
|
We currently have no independent directors.
We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee.
Item 14. Principal
Accounting Fees and Services
Audit Fees
For the Company's
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we had incurred $50,000 for professional services rendered for the audit and reviews of our
financial statements.
For the Company's
fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we had incurred
$27,500
for professional services
rendered for the audit and reviews of our financial statements.
Audit Related Fees
For the Company's
years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no other audit related fees.
Tax Fees
The Company has
accrued no expenses in 2015 for professional services rendered for Canadian tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
All Other Fees
None.
Effective May 6,
2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any
auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
- approved
by our audit committee; or
- entered
into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures
are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and
such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.
We do not have an
audit committee. Our board of director pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.
The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our Board of Director
does not have records of what percentage of the above fees were pre-approved. However, all of the above
services and fees were reviewed and approved by the Board of Director either before or after the respective services were rendered.

NATURE
OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION
|
Nature
of Operations
Mopals,
Inc. ("Mopals" or the “Company”) was incorporated August 7, 2012 and was organized under the laws of the
State of Nevada.
Mopals’
operations are presently conducted through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Mopals Canada Inc. (an Ontario, Canada
company). The planned operations of the Company consist of becoming a social media rewards platform in Canada
and the United States.
On
March 26, 2013, (the “Closing Date”), MortgageBrokers.com Holdings, Inc. (“MBKR”) entered into a share
exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) MBKR; (ii) MoPals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MoPals
(Nevada)”); (iii) Alex Haditaghi (“Company Principal Shareholder”); and (iv) the shareholders of MoPals (Nevada)
(“MoPals Nevada Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, MBKR acquired 100% of the issued
and outstanding equity securities of MoPals (Nevada) in exchange for the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of MBKR’s common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each a “Share” and collectively, the “Common Stock”)(the “Share
Exchange”). On March 26, 2013, the Company filed articles of amendment with the State of Delaware changing the name of our
Company to MoPals.com, Inc.
Immediately
prior to and concurrent with execution of the Share Exchange, MBKR entered into a certain Agreement of Sale dated March 26, 2013
(the “Agreement of Sale”) pursuant to which the Company transferred to MortgageBrokers.com Canada Inc., a Canada Corporation,
all of the Company’s equity interest in the Company’s mortgage brokerage business and MortgageBrokers.com Canada Inc.
agreed to assume any and all liabilities associated with the Company’s mortgage brokers business, including, but not limited
to the commitments, liabilities and contingent liabilities, effective immediately prior to closing of the Share Exchange. Pursuant
to the Agreement of Sale, the MBKR Principal Shareholder forfeited all rights to any monies owed to the Company Principal Shareholder
by the Company associated with a shareholder loan of approximately $25,000 (the “Spin Out and Cancellation.”)
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure
additional funding to
operationalize the Company’s
current technology before another company develops similar technology.
These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company
is in the development stage and has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources to fund operations.
The Company has suffered recurring losses and additional future losses are anticipated as the Company has not yet been able to
generate revenue. The Company has incurred losses since inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern
depends upon its ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. Accumulated losses from
inception to December 31, 2015 total $6,147,574 (2014 - $3,998,186) and the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,209,848
(2014 - $1,510,221). In order for the Company to meet its liabilities as they come due and to continue its operations,
the Company is solely dependent upon its ability to generate such financing. The Company will continue to seek additional
forms of debt or equity financing, but it cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in doing so. These circumstances
raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and accordingly, the appropriateness
of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company isunable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The
accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Presented below are those policies considered particularly significant:
Basis
of Consolidation and Presentation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mopals, Inc. and Mopals Canada Inc. All
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
|
Method
of Accounting
The
Company maintains its books and prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions which may exceed federally insured amounts.
Comprehensive
Income or Loss
The
Company adopted ASC 220-10, which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income is presented in the statements of stockholders’ deficit, and
consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. ASU 2011-05 requires the presentation of other comprehensive income to be
in a single, continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The Company presents in a single, continuous
statement.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
The
Company accounts for earnings (loss) per share pursuant to ASC 260-10-05,
Earnings per Share
, which requires disclosure
on the financial statements of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per
share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding
plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each period. There were no dilutive financial
instruments for the years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Financial
Instruments
In
accordance with ASC 825-10-50, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS No. 107"),
the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation
methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of
the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of December 31, 2015, the carrying values of accounts payable
and accrued liabilities, employee tax deductions payable and loans from shareholder approximate the fair value attainable because
of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
In
accordance with ASC 820-10, “Defining Fair Value Measurement”, the Company adopted the standard which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements.

Stock-based
Compensation
The
Company maintains a stock-based compensation plan under which incentive stock options to buy common stock may be granted to directors,
officers and employees. Pursuant to ASC 718, the Company recognizes expense for its stock-based compensation based on the fair
value of the awards that are granted. The fair values of stock options are estimated at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, that require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Measured compensation cost is recognized ratably
over the vesting period of the related stock-based compensation award. The amount recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect
the number of stock options expected to vest. When exercised, stock options are settled through the issuance of common stock and
are therefore treated as equity awards. The expected volatility of our common stock is estimated based on the historical performance
of the stock.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740-10,
“Accounting for Income Taxes.”
Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the assets and liabilities as well
as the loss carry-forward that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income
tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change
in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the year.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments
become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known. The accounting estimate that requires
management’s most significant judgment is the measurement of accrued liabilities and stock based compensation.
Foreign
Currency Translation
Exchange
differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period
except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized
directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognized directly in equity. The Company’s
functional and presentation currency is the United States Dollar.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s
results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and creates
a new topic, ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases,
including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also expands the required quantitative
and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption
is permitted.

The Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”)
is a federal - provincial harmonized sales tax that applies to the supply of most property and services in Canada. Generally,
HST registrants must charge and account for the HST on taxable supplies of property and services made in Canada. The HST rate
in Ontario is 13%. Registrants collect the HST on certain sales and pay HST on purchases they make to operate their business.
They can claim an input tax credit, to recover the HST paid or payable on the purchases they use in their commercial activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the
Company agreed to grant 100,000 common shares to certain employees. These common shares vest over 12 months. These shares were
valued at $16,666 based on the current stock price at the date of grant of $0.25 and an estimated forfeiture rate of 33%, of which
$7,808 was accrued at December 31, 2014 and recorded as stock based compensation on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s computation of expected
volatility for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 is based on the Company’s market close price over the historical
period equal to the expected life of the options. The Company’s computation of expected life reflects actual historical
exercise activity and assumptions regarding future exercise activity of unexercised, outstanding options.
The
Company’s expected dividend yield is 0%, since there is no history of paying dividends and there are no plans to pay dividends.
The Company’s risk-free interest rate is the Canadian Treasury Bond rate for the period equal to the expected term.
The
total number of options outstanding as at December 31, 2015 was 1,150,000 (2014 – 3,050,000).
As
at December 31, 2015, the Company had 1,150,000 (2014 – 1,450,000) vested options. As at December 31, 2015, the number of
unvested options expected to vest (including the impact of expected forfeitures) had been estimated at nil (2014 – 1,600,000)
with a weighted average contractual life of n/a years (2014 – 3 years) and exercise price of $n/a (2014 - $0.35). As at
December 31, 2015, the total fair value of future expense to be recorded in subsequent periods (assuming no forfeiture occurs)
is $nil (2014 - $259,253). The weighted average time remaining for these options to vest is n/a years (2014 – 0.67 years).
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of stock options and shares using the graded vesting method over the
requisite service period for the entire award.

The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-20, (formerly SFAS No. 109). ASC 740-20 prescribes the use of the
liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates. The effects of future changes
in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.
Under
ASC 740-20 income taxes are recognized for the following: a) amount of tax payable for the current year, and b) deferred tax liabilities
and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax
purposes.
As
of December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions. Deferred taxes as at
December 31, 2015 and 2014 have not been recorded due to the fact that they are fully reserved.
All relevant tax years remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Canada Revenue Agency.
