PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

About the Company

Aedan Financial Corporation (“Aedan” or the “Company”) was originally named Tulip Grove Acquisition Corporation (“Tulip Grove”) and incorporated on May 17, 2017 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.

In July 2017, Tulip Grove filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-12g pursuant to Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and became a public reporting company. In April 2018, the Company effected a change in control of Tulip Grove. As part of that change in control, the then officers and directors of Tulip Grove resigned but retained 500,000 shares of common stock and the Company redeemed 19,500,000 shares of the then 20,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

Eric Fitzgerald and Sammy Yu, Gary Griffes, Brian Hettrick, Victor Citron, Neil Cresswell, Guy Conner, Nicholas Alaniz, and Dawnte Bailey were appointed as officers and Eric Fitzgerald was appointed as the sole director of the Company and the Company issued 5,080,000 shares of common stock to this group of 9 individuals as part of the change in control. In addition, the Company changed its name to Aedan Financial Corp. Mr. Fitzgerald the CEO at that time and Mr. Yu, our current Chief Financial Officer were appointed as our executive officers.

On June 20, 2018, we entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Aedan, Inc. (“AEI”), a private company organized under the laws of Delaware. Under the Acquisition Agreement, we issued to the shareholders of AEI a total amount of 33,900,000 shares of its common stock, at an aggregate cost basis of $25,000, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of AEI. Eric Fitzgerald, Sammy Yu, Nicholas Alaniz, and Gary Griffes, who are officers, directors, and shareholders of the Company, were officers, directors and shareholders of AEI prior to the acquisition and are related parties. AEI has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company has taken over the operations and business plan of AEI. Prior to the acquisition, the Company was a shell and had no ongoing business or operations. Since AEI was an operating and ongoing business with a defined business plan, and accordingly the Company has commenced operations and was no longer deemed to be a shell company as of June 20, 2018

The Company’s corporate offices are located at 1390 Market Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, California. The Company’s telephone number is 866-601-7727.

As a public reporting company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act, the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission quarterly and annual reports and management shareholding information. The Company intends to deliver a copy of its annual report to its security holders, and will voluntarily send a copy of the annual report, including audited financial statements, to any registered shareholder who requests the same.

The Company’s documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission may be inspected at the Commission’s principal office in Washington, D.C. Copies of all or any part of the registration statement may be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Call the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the operation of the public reference rooms. The Securities and Exchange Commission also maintains a web site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy statements, and information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Commission.

Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

	●	have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
	●	comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
	●	submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
	●	disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

The disclosure regarding the company and The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act is incorporated herein by reference from the Form 10-12G filed on July 7, 2017.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

Prior to June 20, 2018 when we acquired AEI, the company was focused on creating a Cryptocurrency Exchange. Due to various security and regulatory related issues in the global cryptocurrency market company management decided to change the direction of the business and began focusing on creating antivirus software powered by artificial intelligence. The Company may re-consider getting back into the cryptocurrency market in the future.

Aedan [safe] - Firewall, Antivirus and Cleanup Application for Android

Aedan specializes in the field of cybersecurity and firewall technologies. Our primary product is Aedan[safe]. From over five years of observation and study of various operating systems, antivirus software and hijack prevention methodologies, we believe that Aedan has developed a unique, revolutionary approach to device security. We believe that Aedan [safe] is the only “artificial intelligence” powered anti-virus software in the world today for use in a mobile security application that is designed programmers to protect data, defend privacy, and optimize the performance of the consumer’s devices. We define artificial intelligence as “the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages”. The Aedan [safe] program manages a series of security and performance elements of the Aedan application. These elements were designed based on known vulnerabilities on computing devices.

The Aedan [safe] application (“app”) uses a modified virtual private network (“VPN”) protocol to monitor port access to previously permitted applications on the local device and blocks incoming connections thus preventing application hijack. The Aedan [safe application pairs security application with a residue and cache cleaner tool, which is currently being upgraded to have a better user interface (“UI”) and enhanced features.

The Aedan [safe] application will operate as both a virus scanner and a cleaner app and will integrate the virus scanner and cleaner in a single UI. It will have the capability to function as a browser cache data purge to remove temporary internet files, a residual data purge to remove all residual junk data from all apps, a RAM cleaner to purge or suspend background services and as an ad blocker and will also be designed to scan and remove applications and URLs that cause excessive junk and cookies.

Overview

The Aedan[app] is intended to prevent attackers from “hijacking” a mobile phone’s local device communication applications, microphones, and cameras. Each component of the app is based upon artificial intelligence and is more sophisticated than traditional anti-virus scanner. When the artificial intelligence engine detects a potential threat Aedan[safe] kills the service of the malicious code and runs a data removal tool over the infected allocated memory. The virus or potential threat becomes suspended, removed, and blocked from future local service activities.

Additionally, firewall policies are preconfigured to prevent network intrusion. Suspicious network activities are managed by the artificial intelligence engine RIMS, which implements a sophisticated form of pattern detection to identify and react to potential risks in real-time.

Aedan [safe] Features

Malicious Monitoring

●

This features scans the model device for viruses and potential vulnerabilities. Aedan will notify the user and then automatically correct the issue.

Aedan Firewall

●

The app has an advanced rule system implementing a VPN protocol of the local device to manage port traffic internally without affecting external network configurations. The firewall policies are pre-configured to prevent network intrusion. Suspicious network activities are managed by the artificial intelligence engine which implements a sophisticated form of pattern detection to identify potential risks in real-time.

RAM and Local Service

●

The app optimizes random access memory “RAM” local service activities by defining actual service use and idle usage. The system decides the appropriate configuration of the launched application. Idle applications are temporarily suspended until indicated by the user thus making the mobile phone more efficient.

Residual Junk

●

Aedan [safe] may clear out miscellaneous junk files which occupy local storage and serve no purpose. The user may initiate an on-demand cleanup or allow the artificial intelligence engine to automate this function periodically when the device appears to be underperforming.

RAM Optimization

●

When background services and applications which aren’t currently used by the user are consuming system resources, Aedan[safe] temporarily suspends and clears the unnecessary service activities which populate the RAM.

Vulnerabilities

●

The app addresses vulnerabilities which include microphone and camera hijacking, remote screen record and screenshots, application hijacking, and automated authentication attacks.

Network Security

●

The app system works a set of advanced rules systems designed to handle the removal of various malware and injection attacks (“viral countermeasures”) to assist in managing access and control of application port use. The firewall may engage secured tunnels for each supported mobile application to prevent application hijacking.

Local System Memory Manager

●

The app manages residual junk files and faulty applications.

The virus or potential threat becomes suspended, removed, and blocked from future local service activities. An Advanced rule system implementing a Virtual Private Network(VPN) protocol of the local device to manage port traffic internally without affecting external network configurations.

The firewall policies are preconfigured to prevent network intrusion. Suspicious network activities are managed by the artificial intelligence engine RIMS, which implements a sophisticated form of pattern detection to identify and react to potential risks in real-time.

We started free Beta trials on October 3, 2018 thru Google Play Store. According to our Google online analytic dashboard, the Aedan [safe] application has been downloaded 1,933,217 times. There were no terms for the free trial, nor do we have the ability to shut off or uninstall the use of the beta software in the free trials, so will not be able to convert any of these free trials into future revenue paying customers.

On March 4th 2019 we launched our paid version of Aedan [safe] Artificial Intelligence powered Mobile Security application at $0.99 per user device currently available for Android through the Amazon Mobile App Store and Google Play Store. At the date of this Report it is too early to determine the number of downloads of our app that will materialize, or the amount of revenue we will generate

Future Development Projects

The Company has some additional projects in process that it intends to expand upon if it receives enough future financing.

Aedan ICE

The Aedan ICE Network is an Intelligent Cloud Environment(“ICE”) which manages various complex tasks through Blockchain type technologies. This enables Aedan to verify malicious codes and learn from global vulnerabilities

The Aedan ICE Network will allow us to securely deploy additional features for the Aedan [safe] Mobile Security application.

Planned Additional Features

Encrypted Call and SMS with remote message removal.

●

This service will encrypt text messages, video and voice data calls for Aedan [safe] subscribers. A subscriber may send a secured SMS and retard or edit the text message after sending it.

●

Images, audio and video clips can be recalled and or removed at a specific time.

Unlimited Encrypted Cloud Storage

●

This feature allows users to create encrypted folders on their local device which can be accessed through any internet connected web browser. These folders are individually encrypted and can be removed from both the user remote cloud container and the local device.

Encrypted Direct Connect Data Sharing.

●

This feature provides a temporary encrypted data connection for dragging files from one device to another over WIFI, Bluetooth, or cellular networks.

A user may transfer entire encrypted folders to remote devices which may be available with the originating authentication credentials.

Encrypted Email Account

This email service will be included in the user subscription. The service allows the user to send encrypted emails to supported servers. The email server runs within the Aedan ICE Network which implements Blockchain technologies to transport encrypted data to other Aedan [safe] subscribers.

Aedan subscribers may also send encrypted envelopes to non-Aedan users which deploys the email message in the received user web browser. This is a cloud-based interface which gives the unsecured user a temporarily secured endpoint.

Aedan OS R.E.A.C.H. (Remotely Emulated Application Cloud Host)

Aedan is also a cloud application developer with a focus on secured cloud-based software development and secured application streaming for computing devices, with an emphasis on remotely emulated application hosting, true cloud computing and “Haas” hardware as a service.

Aedan has developed the capability to provide the consumer with the ability to access a computer system running on a cloud infrastructure from anywhere in the world with internet access. Aedan’s “Haas” is accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface such as a web browser.

In this model, a complete application is offered to the customer as a software service on-demand without ever having the need to upgrade the user’s hardware. A single instance of the service runs on the cloud and multiple end users are serviced. On the customers’ side, there is no need for upfront investment in servers or software licenses, while for the provider, only a single application needs to be hosted and maintained.

Hardware as A Service

The R.E.A.C.H. Service will allow users to upgrade RAM, Number of GPU Cores and SSD Storage, all which directly relate to the speed and power of a computer by a simple click. Each feature will be charged to the user account.

Online Games

The R.E.A.C.H. gaming server will bring online gaming to the next level. A LAN (Local-Area Network) Party on the R.E.A.C.H. Network will be the most secure way to play online. With the R.E.A.C.H., a user may simply rent games and stream them within their Internet-connected web browser. Our next step will be streaming only the application requested to the user device within the web browser without the full OS streaming for the session.

NAS Local

The R.E.A.C.H. will allow the user’s local network attached storage to sync with the client session, so the user may upload and download files from a NAS (Network-Attached Storage) to the R.E.A.C.H. or to another R.E.A.C.H. user on its buddy list. This makes it easy to share content and backup your cloud. The R.E.A.C.H. platform is compatible with multiple cloud environments and remote storage, so the user may connect all cloud environments to one primary and secured host.

In summary, in this model, the customers do not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure, network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration settings.

Aedan VR

AedanOS Dropkick is a Virtual Reality (VR) based interface which implements EEG (Electroencephalography) technology to control PC/Console games, cloud desktop environments and search the internet using thought.

Cloud Computing Services

In addition to its Cloud-based operating system, Aedan also intends to offer services related to Cloud-based configuration management, which Aedan believes is a game-changing technology that no security team working with virtual infrastructures should be without.

Amid growing enterprise adoption of cloud computing, it is no surprise that security professionals have been searching for security mechanisms to secure cloud-based server hosting. The effort often begins by looking to the same technologies that were used to secure the data center, such as firewalls, antivirus and intrusion detection systems. It is a logical approach; however, the types of risks traditional security technologies were created to combat focus on risks to local resources only, which limits their effectiveness when attempting to secure a cloud-based resource.

While Cloud services offer flexibility, scalability, and economies of scale, there have been commensurate concerns about security. As more data moves from centrally located server storage to the Cloud, the potential for personal and private data to be compromised will increase. Confidentiality, availability, and integrity of data are at risk if appropriate measures are not put in place prior to selecting a Cloud vendor or implementing your own cloud and migrating to Cloud services. Cloud services such as Software as a service, Platform as a service or Infrastructure as a service will each have their own security concerns that need to be addressed and the Company’s services are designed to ensure maximum security.

Overview of the Smartphone Industry

According to a December 12, 2018 report from the market intelligence firm IDC provided projections for global smartphone shipments in 2018 and 2022. The research company expects a drop of 3% in 2018 followed by a small increase in 2019 that will carry on through to 2022. The total units shipped for 2018 is estimated at 1.42 billion while the 2022 estimate is put at 1.57 billion. Android should maintain a comfortable lead in terms of platform used. The decline for 2018, which was partially due to US-China trade issues and a decline in the Chinese market itself. Growth is expected to return in 2019 and through 2022, with IDC estimating a five-year compound annual growth rate of 1.7% (2017-2022).

According to IDC the leaders in the smartphone market are as follows:

Quarter	2018Q1		2018Q2		2018Q3
Samsung	23.5	%	21.0	%	20.3	%
Huawei	11.8	%	15.9	%	14.6	%
Apple	15.7	%	12.1	%	13.2	%
Xiaomi	8.4	%	9.5	%	9.5	%
OPPO	7.4	%	8.6	%	8.4	%
Others	33.2	%	32.9	%	33.9	%
TOTAL	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

Market Challenges

The global smartphone market is shrinking as consumers wait for the next game-changing feature and some of the biggest markets reach saturation. Apple Inc. cut its sales forecast for the first time in two decades while industry leader Samsung Electronics Co. is looking at innovations such as foldable screens to counter its own weaker sales. Meanwhile, Chinese challengers that include Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Huawei are pushing overseas as the market peaks at home. The initial boom may be over, but smartphones – one of the most popular consumer products ever introduced – remain a vital part of the global economy.

Why is growth stalling? Technology and demographics. There aren’t the same innovative leaps being made. Phones are getting more durable, and are offering more processing power and memory capacity. Users can download an app for almost anything- from camera filters to augmented reality to a digital assistant.

What’s the future? 5G, or fifth-generation, networks. These phones will be able to download a feature-length movie in seconds. Samsung’s innovations, foldable screens, and new battery technology could provide a catalyst.

Underserved and underpenetrated markets. There are very low penetration rates in India, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, home to more than half the Earth’s population. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-13/how-global-smartphone-sales-growth-ground-to-a-halt-quicktake

Challenges facing incumbent solutions

The standard incumbent solution is that smartphones come equipped with all the security a device needs, making it unnecessary to install a battery-hogging antivirus app on your hone. Their advice is, “In almost all cases, Android phones and tablets do not need antivirus installed. Android viruses are by no means as prevalent as media outlets may have you believe, and your device is much more at risk of theft than it is a virus.” Tech Advisor, “Do you need an antivirus on Android?” Marie Black, 23 Aug 2018 The problem with this conjecture is that the vast majority of known Android viruses are installed on the back of dubious apps. It is true that Google Play store works diligently to prevent nefarious apps from getting installed on phones, but dodgy apps can and do find their way through and onto devices. Also, many apps are installed onto phones outside of the Google Play store. Dodgy apps, even if found and taken down, can reappear under new developers with new names. Vendors of smartphones promise that they regularly provide security patches. Unfortunately, it turns out that even if you update your Android device, it may not be as up to date as possible.

Security Research Labs has published the results of an in-depth study in which it claims several big-name vendors are guilty of saying they’ve rolled out important patches when they haven’t. https://srlabs.de/bites/android_patch_gap/

The Loapi trojan, which was spreading itself through ad campaigns under the guise of antivirus solutions, has taken advantage of those users who have wanted extra security for the devices, by putting such a heavy workload on the phone that it causes the battery to overheat, thus destroying the device. Loapi can also send text messages, subscribe the user to paid services without their knowledge and allow attackers to execute HTTP requests for DDoS attacks, and mine the cryptocurrency Monero. It can prevent a user from uninstalling it by blocking the screen and closing the window when the user tries to remove its administrative rights. Tech Advisor, “Do you need an antivirus on Android?” Marie Black, 23 Aug 2018.

The end result is that we believable every smartphone is hackable.

The Zerodium Threat

Zerodium is an American information security company founded in 2015 based in Washington, D.C. Its main business is acquiring premium zero-days vulnerabilities with functional exploits from security researchers and companies, and reporting the research, along with protective measures and security recommendations, to its corporate and government clients.

Last year, Zerodium publicly offered $1 million for a powerful, new hack that would remotely sneak into an iPhone running Apple’s latest software. In November, Zerodium announced the winner – an unidentified team of hackers. Zerodium publicly offers up to $100,000 for Android and Windows phone hacks. It will pay $80,000 for hacks that involve the Adobe PDF reader or Flash Player. Zerodium is selling “zero days,” the golden gun of the cyber world. These are rare, powerful hacks that exploit never-before-seen vulnerabilities. They get their name from the notion that tech companies have had “zero days” to fix them. “This is a weapon, “said Zuk Avraham, founder of the cybersecurity firm Zimperium. Selling Zero-days on the open market can make the internet and gadgets less safe to use. – CNN Money, April 7, 2016 “Bug Bounties” are cash prizes given to researchers who spot nasty weak spots. However, Denelle Dixon-Thayer, Chief legal officer of Mozilla, says “Hackers might be more apt to create weapons that can actively put users at risk – rather than disclosing it to us. There are very real, very dangerous reasons that mobile security for smartphones is needed and needed now.

Market Opportunities

The opportunity for Aedan [safe] lies in educating the consumer regarding the very real threats posed to smartphones by unscrupulous actors. According to Jennifer Schlesinger/Andrea Day in a story “Hacking your smartphone”, 14 June 2016, “Your smartphone could be hacked without your knowledge. Not only can it be hacked, but it can also be done very easily without your knowledge.” Operating Systems can have flaws, providing vulnerabilities that attackers can take advantage of. Public Wi-Fi places can be unsecured territory. Malicious apps and Malware are constantly being created. If a user has an older phone, it is exponentially vulnerable to hacks.

Digital Security Divide

Android is slightly more popular in the U.S. than iOS, with 53% of smartphone users on Google’s operating system, compared to 45% on Apple. Globally, Android is significantly more popular- almost 90% of phones shipped in the 3^rd quarter of 2016 ran Android. In India, 97% of smartphones are Android, Quartz reports, and many of them cost less than $100. – CNN Business: Why smartphone security is a luxury for those who can afford it, by Selena Larson June 7, 2017. The gap between the security haves and have nots is often called the “digital security divide,” which researcher Chris Soghoian described in a 2016 Ted Talk. According to Malkia Cyril, founder and executive director of the Center for Media Justice, the digital security divide disproportionately affects communities of color and having secure phones not only protects someone’s data but their rights.

The fortune at the bottom of the pyramid

Samsung and Chinese smartphone makers have been focusing on the low-end of the smartphone market, trying to mine the “fortune at the bottom of the pyramid,” as C.K. Prahalad described the strategy more than a decade ago. There are trillions in disposable income in the hands of the masses at the bottom of the world income pyramid. This spells potential for Aedan [safe] Mobile Security app as our nominal cost presents real opportunities for all individuals, from all income levels, to have secured smartphone capability. “How Facebook And Alibaba Are Turning The World’s Poor Into Entrepreneurs”, Panos Mourdoukoutas, Forbes.com October 5, 2014.

Sales and Revenue/ Strategy

Our Strategy

Our goal is to make Aedan [safe] the world’s first mobile security application powered by Artificial Intelligence, detecting known and unknown threats and preventing application hijacking. We plan to disrupt the market for mobile security solutions by distributing innovative products and services that provide leading performance at prices that are a fraction of alternative solutions. Aedan [safe] Mobile Security Application is designed to meet the needs of a time when hacking records, hacking devices, and identity theft are rampant.

Smartphones are used for more tasks than ever. Banking, online shopping, checking credit scores – all require sensitive personal information and data that needs to be safeguarded.

We are deploying a multi-step plan for the future:

●

Complete the development and testing of our Apple iOS version to bring Aedan [safe] to the iOS Apple store.

●

Stage a Marketing Campaign to raise our visibility in the marketplace to all consumers and all income levels.

●

Deliver high performance at disruptive price points.

●

Maintain and extend our technological leadership by employing, contracting and training individuals in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Automated Defense Systems.

●

Expand our market into the Educational, Medical and Defense sectors to bring a more efficient and intelligent approach to security solutions.

●

Keep our competitive edge by teaming up with individuals and companies which comprise the professionals in cybersecurity, IT security, IoT, Defense, and Emergency Response Management Systems.

Pricing/add on features -how much money need for marketing

Competition

The markets for our products are intensely competitive and are subject to rapid changes in technology. We expect both product and pricing competitive pressures to increase in the near-term as the industry continues to consolidate and our competitors grow rapidly through acquisitions. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, stronger relationships with strategic channel partners, larger technical staffs, established relationships with hardware vendors and/or greater financial, technical and marketing resources and other market advantages. Increasingly, commoditized security protection is offered by third parties at significant discounts to our prices or, in some cases is bundled for free. Potential customers may perceive our products as less valuable or even unnecessary if similar functionality is available at a significant discount or free. According to Orbis Research, a leading research institute founded in 1957 in a recent Jun12, 2018 article entitled “Global Antivirus Software Market, there are in excess of 20 key established antivirus users including Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, AVG, Avast Software, ESET, Bitdefender, Fortinet, F-Secure, G Datasoftware, Avira, Qihoo, Kaspersky Panda Security, Quick Heal, Comodo, Microsoft, Rising, Cheetah Mobile, AhnLab .

However, we believe the competitor products do not satisfy the needs of the consumer and may cause additional risks or provide a false sense of security. These applications do not include a firewall or artificial intelligence to identify and correct issues in defective apps, and they also allow advertisements, adware, application hijacking vulnerabilities, memory and battery consumption on the tested devices. In summary, the initial high demand for the free Aedan [safe] mobile security solutions offered and the potential weaknesses identified in our competitors provide an attractive market opportunity

Market Information

None

THE SECURITIES ENFORCEMENT AND PENNY STOCK REFORM ACT OF 1990

The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

As of the date of this Report, our Common Stock is defined as a “penny stock” under the Securities and Exchange Act. It is anticipated that our Common Stock will remain a penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:

●

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

●

contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;

●

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

●

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

●

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and

●

contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:

●

the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

●

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

●

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

●

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

HOLDERS

As of the date of this Report, we had 39,480,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 11 shareholders of record.

DIVIDENDS

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this Report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

Revenues

We have not generated any revenue since our inception. In March 2019 we began to generate revenues from the downloads of our Aedan[safe] application.

Operating Expenses and Net Loss

In 2017 we were a shell company with very minimal activity and operating expenses of $10,352. In 2018 we emerged from shell status and began operating activities. We incurred $98,902 in expenses in 2018. Any comparison between 2018 and 2017 is not indicative of any operating trends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2018, we had $1,468 of cash on hand, compared $-0- on hand as of December 31, 2017. The Company’s independent auditors have issued a report raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. To date, 100% of the Company’s funding since inception has come in the form of loans from our Chairman, Mr. Eric Fitzgerald. These loans were subsequently forgiven.

We believes that due to the acquisition of AEI, and the commencement of revenue generation from the Aedan[safe] app we can raise capital through private placements to investors. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising capital, generating profitable operations, or receiving additional loans from Mr. Fitzgerald. Failure to raise additional capital, or generate profits from operations, will have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Seasonality

Our activities are not impacted by seasonality.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Going concern

The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception to date and has sustained an operating loss of $(98,902) for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company had a working capital deficit of ($10,412) and an accumulated deficit of ($166,572) as of December 31, 2018; and a working capital deficit of ($43,021) and an accumulated deficit of ($70,333) as of December 31, 2017. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its officers and directors or other sources, as may be required.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations or from the sale of its equity. However, the Company currently has no commitments from any third parties for the purchase of its equity. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.

Basis of presentation

As described above, Aedan Corporation and Aedan Inc. were under the common control of the CEO, and its officers before and after the date of transfer. As a result, the Company adopted the guidance in ASC 805-50-05-5 for the transfer of net assets between entities under common control to apply a method similar to the pooling-of-interests method. Under this method, the financial statements of the Company shall report results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as though the transfer of net assets had occurred at the beginning of the period. Results of operations for that period will thus comprise both those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period to the date the transfer is completed and those of the combined operations from that date to the end of the period. Similarly, the Company shall present the statements of financial position and other financial information as of the beginning of the period as though the assets and liabilities had been transferred at that date. Financial statements and financial information presented for prior years also shall be retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and are expressed in United States dollars. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2018, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; and its wholly-owned subsidiary Aedan Inc. which was acquired on June 20, 2018.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and 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. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, purchase price allocation of acquired businesses, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company cash equivalents totaled $1,468 and $-0- respectively.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Net Loss per Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the unaudited consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the unaudited consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have not entered into 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 and would be considered material to investors.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, we meet the definition of an “emerging growth company.” We have irrevocably elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. As a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non- emerging growth companies.

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and we do not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Aedan Financial Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Aedan Financial Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY PAYABLES AND TRANSACTIONS

In order to fund its operations, the Company has relied on interest-free demand loans from its founder and CEO, Mr. Eric Fitzgerald. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, Mr. Fitzgerald donated $131,003 and $312, respectively, and the Company recorded this forgiveness of debt as capital contributions, in the same periods, respectively, with no impact on profit or loss.

As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the related party loan payable balances were $-0- and $40,771 respectively.

As described throughout this Report, the Company and Aedan Inc. are related parties. As such, the number of common shares granted to Eric Fitzgerald and the officers are considered related party transactions.

NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

On April 18, 2018, on 19,500,000 shares of the then 20,000,000 shares of outstanding stock valued at par.

On April 19, 2018 the Company issued 5,080,000 shares of its common stock for no consideration. At the time of issuance, the Company had no operations or business activity. As such, the Company recorded compensation expense on the issuance of these shares calculated at the par value of $0.0001 per share, or $508 in compensation expense.

On June 20, 2018, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition”) with Aedan, Inc. (“AEI”), a private related company.

The Acquisition was effected by the Company through the exchange of all the issued and outstanding capital stock (25,000 shares) of AEI for a total amount of 33,900,000 shares of its common stock, at an aggregate cost basis of $25,000. Since this is a related party transaction, the 25,000 shares were considered canceled.

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.0001 and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.0001.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/ Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO/CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our CEO/CFO has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2018, at a reasonable assurance level.

Our Board of Directors has assigned a priority to the short-term and long-term improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. We intend to retain a qualified Chief Financial Officer in the third quart of 2017 to remedy the processes that would eliminate the issues that may arise due to the absence of separation of duties within the financial reporting functions. Additionally, the Board of Directors will work with management to continuously review controls and procedures to identified deficiencies and implement remediation within our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures.

We believe that our financial statements presented in this annual report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

Inherent Limitations – Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. We will continue to use outsourced professional CFO services for the immediate future. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Those rules define internal control over financial reporting as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that:

	●	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
	●	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

●

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls 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 the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in May 2013.

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were ineffective, based in part on the issues discussed above.
