Overview
Wewards, Inc. (Wewards or the Company) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 10, 2013 as Betafox Corp., with the initial intent to manufacture and sell color candles. On April 26, 2015, Giorgos Kallides (the Seller), entered into an agreement with Future Continental Limited (Purchaser), pursuant to which, on May 11, 2015, the Seller sold to Purchaser six million (6,000,000) shares of common stock of the Company (the Shares) owned by the Seller, constituting approximately 73.8% of the Companys 8,130,000 issued and outstanding common shares at such time, for $340,000. In October 2015, the Purchaser sold the 6,000,000 Shares to Mr. Lei Pei, an affiliate of the Purchaser, in consideration of Mr. Peis agreement to serve as our director and CEO. On January 8, 2018, by consent of Lei Pei as the Companys principal shareholder, the Company changed its name to Wewards, Inc. The Companys corporate office is located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Company has developed and is the owner of a web-based platform accessible by mobile apps (the Platform) that will enable consumers to purchase goods from merchants and earn rebates payable in the form of Bitcoin. The Platform provides an innovative Bitcoin rewards ecosystem. It is designed to transform traditional concepts of commerce into a cooperative society where both merchants and consumers are collaborating, utilizing Bitcoin to reward consumers. The ecosystem provides consumers with rewards each time they complete a challenge defined by a merchant. This is intended to make the ecommerce process beneficial to all market participants, and to help distribute commercial wealth among and between the merchants and consumers. The Company intends to generate revenue by licensing white-label versions of the Platform to third parties. However, to date, no such license agreement has been entered into, and the Company has not generated any revenues.
On April 2, 2020, the Company purchased intellectual property rights (IP) from United Power, a Nevada Corporation under common ownership with Lei Pei, the Companys sole officer and director and majority shareholder, for cash consideration of $179,300, based on a price determined by an independent valuation.
The IP consists of technology and related rights associated with the game Megopoly, an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). Megopoly is expected to be the first MMO 3-D board game in the world, where players will be able to earn fractions of Bitcoins (satoshi) through buying, selling, and managing virtual real estate properties using in-game currency (Megopoly Coins). The game will be similar in some respects to Monopoly.
The game will allow players around the world to interact with each other online. Players travel (move) through different parts of a city, earning profit by investing in properties, charging rent, acquiring bonus assets, and selling their properties to other players for in-game currency. A player will be able to progress to higher levels of cities at any time.
The players goal in Megopoly is to earn Megopoly Coins by investing in properties and collecting rent from other players. Players can keep playing the game using their Megopoly Coins for the opportunity to earn more coins, or they can exchange those coins for Bitcoins based on real-time market exchange rates.
Megopoly will be playable at any time through a web browser on a PC, tablet or smart phone, initially in Chinese, and in English in the near future. The game has been designed for players of all skill levels.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, net cash flows used in operating activities was $259,298. For the same period ended February 28, 2019, net cash flows used in operating activities was $762,459. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to our decreased net loss.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, we did not use any cash in investing activities compared to $432,200 for the same period ended February 28, 2019. The decrease is attributable to investments made in intangible assets in the prior period that was not necessary in the current period.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the nine months ended February 29, 2020, we did not use any cash in financing activities. For the nine months ended February 28, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $4,965,000. In the comparative period, $35,000 was received by way of a loan from our sole officer, director and principal shareholder, and the Company repaid $5,000,000 on related party loans.
16
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
As of February 29, 2020, we had available cash of $4,249,099, current liabilities of $12,216,340 and had never generated any revenues. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Unless and until we begin to generate revenues and positive cash flow from our Platform or Megopoly game, as to which there is no assurance, we expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through cash on hand, related party loans and/or further issuances of other securities. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet our working capital requirement from these sources.
We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. To date, we have been wholly dependent upon our CEO and majority shareholder, Mr. Pei, and his affiliated companies, to provide financing to us, generally in the form of convertible loans. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, and we might be unable to continue in business.
Material Commitments
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any material commitments.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not have any agreements at this time, to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require managements subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from managements current judgments.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 under current regulations. The Company had approximately $3,999,199 and $4,258,497 in excess of FDIC insured limits at February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Reclassifications
In the current period, the Company separately classified professional fees from general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Statement of Operations. For comparative purposes, amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.
17
Software Development Costs
The Company expenses software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. Software development costs also include costs to develop software to be used solely to meet internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver our services. The Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ends, and amortization begins when the product is available for general release to customers.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, who is one in the same, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 29, 2020. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 29, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019 under Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
