NOTE 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Description
Plyzer Technologies Inc. (the Company), incorporated on February 23, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada, and through its subsidiary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is engaged in developing commercial web portal aimed at providing solutions for price comparison using artificial intelligence in a number of niche markets.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim financial statements as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the balance sheet, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with the SECs rules and regulations for interim reporting.
Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and,
a.
Plyzer Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 9, 2016.
b.
Plyzer Technologies (Canada) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Ontario, Canada on April 11, 2017.
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017. The significant accounting policies followed are same as those detailed in the said Annual Report, except for the following new accounting policies adopted during the six months ended September 30, 2017:
Furniture and equipment
Furniture and equipment items are stated at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives, which are presently considered to be three years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in the Statements of Operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
Convertible debts and Derivative liability
Convertible loan notes issued by the Company have embedded conversion feature where principal liability and accrued interest are convertible, at the option of the loan holder, into common shares of the Company, at a price, based on the quoted market price of the Companys common shares on the date of conversion discounted at an agreed percentage. The derivative liability is segregated and initially carried at fair value and subsequently remeasured on each reporting date at their fair value. The difference is taken to income as derivative gains or losses.
The debt discount is amortized over the period of the loan and charged to interest expense. Loan is stated at amortized discount amount.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 - "Earnings Per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.
Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method). The computation of basic loss per share for the period ended September 30, 2017 excludes potentially dilutive securities of 8,179,336 shares underlying share purchase warrants and convertible notes, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Use of estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial position and revenues and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Companys financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and this raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. 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.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Managements plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. While the Company has so far been successful in raising the required capital through debt and equity financing, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will continue to be able to raise the funding required to complete its development work and commercial launch of the portal successfully in future.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit amount of approximately $3.6 million.
NOTE 3 - 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 (Topic 606)". ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)," and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or service s. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this pronouncement by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)-Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2014-15 (1) defines the term substantial doubt, (2) requires an evaluation of every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of managements plan, (4) requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of managements plans, (5) requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those reporting periods. Earlier adoption is permitted. This ASU is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and notes to the financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU to its financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (ASU 2016-10). The amendments in ASU 2016-10 clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) Identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. This pronouncement has the same effective date as the new revenue standard, which is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting ASU 2016-10 on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (ASU 2016-12). The amendments in ASU 2016-12 provide clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and add some practical expedients. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements as Topic 606. The guidance will have the same effective date and transition requirements as the ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting ASU 2016-12 on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial instruments." The amendments in this update change how companies measure and recognize credit impairment for many financial assets. The new expected credit loss model will require companies to immediately recognize an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial assets (including trade receivables) that are in the scope of the update. The update also made amendments to the current impairment model for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities and certain guarantees. The guidance will become effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. We are evaluating the effect of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15). ASU 2016-15 eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayments or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a zero-coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interests obtained in a financial asset securitization. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements, but the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact as of the filing of this report.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." The amendments in this update state that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory, such as intellectual property and property and equipment, when the transfer occurs. The amendments in this update will become effective for us on January 1, 2018. The amendments in this update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-16 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01). In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-01 on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." The ASU expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. In addition, the amendments in this update modify disclosure requirements for presentation of hedging activities. Those modifications include a tabular disclosure related to the effect on the income statement of fair value and cash flow hedges and eliminate the requirement to disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instruments, if any. The ASU will become effective for us on January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted for all hedging relationships that exist at the date of adoption. We are evaluating the effect of ASU 2017-12 on our consolidated financial statements.
The Company evaluates new pronouncements as issued and evaluates the effect of adoption on the Company at the time. The Company has determined that the adoption of recently adopted accounting pronouncements will not have an impact on the financial statements.

Since the convertible loan notes issued during the period have a beneficial conversion feature which is contingent upon future market prices, they did not meet the conditions necessary for equity classification and as a result, the imbedded conversion feature is considered a derivative liability.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK
On May 2, 2017, the Company initiated a private placement of up to 10 million Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one warrant. Warrant is convertible into one share at an exercise price of $0.20 per share and is valid for two years.
During the period to September 30, 2017, the Company issued 5.9 million Units for net proceeds of $295,001.
The Company issued on December 21, 2016, 5 million restricted common shares to Lupama as a joining bonus as per the terms of the consulting agreement signed with Lupama. These shares were valued at $350,000, based on the quoted market price of $0.07 per common share on the date of issuance. As per the terms of the consulting agreement, these shares will vest only after 12 months and are subject to the consultant not resigning or the consulting agreement not terminating prior to the vesting date. As a result, the value of the shares will be accounted only on their vesting unconditionally.
At September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had 200,000,000 common shares of par value $0.001 common stock authorized.
NOTE 8 - WARRANTS
As explained in Note 7, the Company issued 5.9 million warrants in connection with the private placement.
Fair value of 5.9 million warrants issued was estimated at $318,782 using the Black-Scholes valuation technique, using the following assumptions:
