(A DELAWARE CORPORATION)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - The Company

AFH Acquisition VII, Inc., a development stage company (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 24, 2007. The Company is 57.84% owned by AFH Holding & Advisory, LLC (the “Parent”). The Company is looking to acquire an existing company or acquire the technology to begin operations.

As a blank check company, the Company’s business is to pursue a business combination through acquisition, or merger with, an existing company.

Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and as set forth below has entered into an LOI.

On October 5, 2012, AFH Holding & Advisory, LLC (“AFH Advisory”), a major shareholder of the Company, entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with two target companies, Eurocar, Inc. (“Eurocar”) and Park Place Motors Ltd. (“Park Place,” together with Eurocar, the “Target Companies”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire the Target Companies through a series of transactions including a merger or other business combination pursuant to which the Company would cease to be a shell company, as defined in the rules of the SEC (the “Reverse Merger”).

On October 26, 2012, AFH Advisory, Eurocar and Park Place entered into an amendment to the LOI, pursuant to which the parties to the LOI agreed to revise the provision with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company post Reverse Merger. On January 28, 2013, the parties to the LOI entered into an Amended and Restated Letter of Intent (the “Amended and Restated LOI”), pursuant to which the parties to the LOI agreed to revise the provision with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company post Reverse Merger, provided for certain acknowledgments regarding the proceeds of the Offering, amended a provision regarding a potential subsequent financing and amended certain financial representations made by each of Eurocar and Park Place. On February 1, 2013, the parties to the Amended and Restated LOI entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated LOI to revise, among other things, the beneficial ownership of the Company post Reverse Merger. On May 20, 2013, the parties to the Amended and Restated LOI entered into a Second Amended and Restated Letter of Intent (the “Second Amended and Restated LOI”).

In October 2012, the Company commenced a private placement offering, as amended, (the “Offering”) to several accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) for up to 1,300,000 Shares (the “Maximum Offering”) for aggregate proceeds equal to $2,600,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”). The Company may increase the Maximum Offering to 1,560,000 Shares and the Maximum Offering Amount to $3,120,000 to cover over-allotments. There is no minimum number of Shares that may be purchased in the Offering. No warrants were issued to investors in the Offering. The Offering was conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation D, Section 4(2) and Rule 506 thereunder.

Proceeds from the Offering were used to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Reverse Merger with the Target Companies as indicated in the Second Amended and Restated LOI.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, wherein deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

The Company's short-term and long-term deferred tax liability is based on the calculation of the deferred taxes on the Company's unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities using a 40% effective tax rate based on a 31% federal income tax rate (net of state tax deduction) combined with an 8.84% California state income tax rate. The Company recognizes a deferred tax asset (through changes in the valuation allowance) for the exact amount of the deferred tax liability. The classification of these deferred taxes is concurrent with the classification of investments for which the unrealized gain is derived. For balance sheet presentation, current deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset and presented as a single amount and non-current deferred tax assets and liabilities within each tax jurisdiction have been offset and presented as a single amount.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly probable that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. As of January 31, 2016, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and the Company had no positions which, in the opinion of management, would be reversed if challenged by a taxing authority. The Company’s evaluation of tax positions was performed for those tax years which remain open to audit. The Company may from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by the taxing authorities, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company is assessed interest and/or penalties, such amounts will be classified as income tax expense in the financial statements.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of due to parent. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

Recent Pronouncements

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-1, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”, which eliminates the concept from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. Under the ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 3 - Equity Securities

Holders of shares of common stock shall be entitled to cast one vote for each common share held at all stockholder’s meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights.

The preferred stock of the Company shall be issued by the Board of Directors of the Company in one or more classes or one or more series within any class and such classes or series shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, limitations or restrictions as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine, from time to time.

No holder of shares of stock of any class shall be entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase or receive any part of any new or additional issue of shares of stock of any class, or of securities convertible into shares of stock or any class, whether now hereafter authorized or whether issued for money, for consideration other than money, or by way of dividend.

Note 4 - Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reported recurring losses from operations. As a result, there is an accumulated deficit of $3,027,836 at January 31, 2016.

The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise capital or acquire a marketable company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 – Receivable from Related Party

Receivable from Related Party represents funds received by the Company for reverse merger expenses that were forwarded to the parent company and which have not yet been allocated to fees incurred with the transaction described in Note 1. It is expected that all funds will be collected and shall be used for expenses in future periods.

Note 6 – Due to Parent

Due to parent represents cash advances from AFH Holding & Advisory LLC and totaled $14,364 and $12,624 as of January 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015, respectively. AFH Holding & Advisory LLC is the majority shareholder of the Company. They are due on demand and will be paid when the entity merges through acquisition. There has been no demand of payment as of January 31, 2016.

Note 7 - Related Parties

Litigation with AFH Advisory and Amir F. Heshmatpour

Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.

AFH Advisory is presently a plaintiff and a counterclaim defendant in a matter that is pending in both Delaware Superior Court (Index No. N12C-09-045-MMJ [CCLD]) and Delaware Chancery Court (Index No. C.A. No. 8005-JJ). AFH Advisory brought the suit against Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. ("Emmaus") in regards to Emmaus' attempt to cancel AFH Advisory's ownership interest in Emmaus, and its refusal to reimburse AFH Advisory for expenses relating to a reverse merger. Emmaus has brought counterclaims against AFH Advisory for a declaratory judgment canceling AFH Advisory's ownership interest in Emmaus, fraud, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. All parties completed document discovery and filed motions for summary judgment. Emmaus' motion for partial summary judgment was granted by the Court, which held that the Third Letter of Intent ("LOI III") between AFH Advisory and Emmaus was terminated, the public offering contemplated by LOI III was terminated, the advisor shares Emmaus gave to AFH Advisory and its affiliates pursuant to the terms of LOI III had been canceled, and that AFH and its affiliated must return all Emmaus shares in their possession. The partial summary judgment motion brought by individual counterclaim defendant Amir Heshmatpour, and joined in by AFH Advisory, was granted in part by the Court, which held that Emmaus was not entitled to compensatory damages on its fraud and fraud in the inducement claims. Following the Court's decision on these summary judgment motions, AFH Advisory does not have any remaining claims against Emmaus. Emmaus continues to maintain claims against AFH Advisory for breach of contract, fraud, and unjust enrichment. AFH Advisory has asserted defenses for these remaining claims, and it is defending this matter. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with Emmaus, the terms of which are confidential, the fraud claims against AFH and Heshmatpour brought by Emmaus have been dismissed. On April 7, 2015, a settlement of all claims was reached between the parties whereby AFH Advisory agreed to transfer publicly traded securities of one of AFH’s portfolio companies to Emmaus with a current trading value of $30,000.

Emerald Dairy, Inc.

AFH Advisory and other entities brought a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County against Emerald Dairy, Inc. (“Emerald”) and its Chairman, Mr. Shan, asserting that they were entitled to a large number of shares of Emerald, both from Emerald and from shares individually owned, and pledged, by Chairman Shan. Emerald and Chairman Shan defaulted. On March 27, 2015, a default judgment was issued by the Superior Court of California in favor of AFH Advisory in the amount of $1,132,181 which includes damages of $897,121, prejudgment interest of $224,260, and attorney fees of $10,800.

Banner Bank Judgment

Mr. Amir Heshmatpour is a defendant in two lawsuits related to Banner Bank which have been reduced to judgment.

The lawsuits arise from three loans issued in the late 1990’s. The lender was Town Bank, a Washington State Bank which is no longer in existence, having been acquired by Banner Bank in the early 2000’s. The borrowers on the three separate loans were H&H Holdings, Metrophone Telecom, and Amir and Kathy Heshmatpour. In the early 2000’s, the three loans were consolidated into one loan, shortly before Banner Bank acquired Town Bank. Once this acquisition occurred, the relationship between the borrowers and the successor lender soured, and a default was ultimately declared on the loans.

Banner Bank was awarded judgment in the Superior Court for the State of Washington in May 2003 in the amount of $11,073,409 with interest accruing at 12 percent per annum. In November 2003, Banner Bank was awarded a second, separate judgment in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in the amount of $429,863 with interest accruing at 6.875 percent per annum. Both judgments have been renewed and extended in the state and federal courts in Washington and valid until at least 2023. Mr. Heshmatpour contends that negotiated agreements were reached for payment of the outstanding loan balance, resulting in an agreement to pay approximately $11,000,000. Mr. Heshmatpour further contends that the agreements were satisfied, but that Banner Bank failed to properly account for the payments received.

In December 2012, the Federal Judgment was certified in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in the amount of $711,899 with interest accruing. In March 2013, the State Court Judgment was registered as a sister state judgment in the Los Angeles County Superior Court of California in the amount of $22,873,953 with interest accruing.

Banner Bank has renewed its efforts to enforce the judgments beginning in 2013 and has consistently sought enforcement thereafter. Debtor exams of the Heshmatpours have been taken. While the parties have discussed settlement, no settlement has been reached as of the date of this filing.

On June 24, 2013 and December 18, 2013, Banner Bank obtained a charging order against Mr. Heshmatpour’s membership interest in AFH Holding & Advisory LLC in the Central District of California and Los Angeles Superior Court, respectively. Under the charging orders, AFH and all members are directed to pay any distributions due or that become due to Mr. Heshmatpour directly to Banner Bank until the judgments plus all accrued interest are paid in full. On December 18, 2013, the Heshmatpours’ Motion to Vacate the State Court Judgment was denied. This was not appealed by the Heshmatpours and, therefore, fully enforceable.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Plan of Operation

The Company has not restricted its search for any specific kind of businesses, and it may acquire a business which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its business life. It is impossible to predict the status of any business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may offer.

In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity.

It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such business combination would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of its transaction, the Company may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after the Company has entered into an agreement for a business combination or has consummated a business combination. The issuance of additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the Company's securities may depress the market value of the Company's securities in the future if such a market develops, of which there is no assurance. However, if the Company cannot effect a non-cash acquisition, the Company may have to raise funds from a private offering of its securities under Rule 506 of Regulation D. There is no assurance the Company would obtain any such equity funding.

The Company will participate in a business combination only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Negotiations with a target company will likely focus on the percentage of the Company which the target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for their shareholdings.

Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain representations and warranties of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing and will include miscellaneous other terms. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the Company's shareholders at such time.

During October of 2012, AFH Holding & Advisory, LLC (“AFH Advisory”), a major shareholder of the Company, entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) and subsequent amendments with two target companies. The targets expressed a reluctance to proceed forward under the terms of the LOI, as amended. As such, there is a substantial likelihood that AFH will not affect the acquisition and that the Reverse Merger will not be consummated. For this reason, AFH has decided to pursue other targets to acquire.

Results of Operations

The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated by the Company from September 24, 2007 (Inception) to January 31, 2016. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of which there can be no assurance. It is management’s assertion that these circumstances may hinder the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates.

For the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net losses of $1,825 and $1,290, respectively, consisting of legal, accounting, audit, other professional service fees and expenses.

For the period from September 24, 2007 (Inception) to January 31, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $3,027,836 comprised of legal, accounting, audit, other professional service fees and other organizational costs and expenses incurred in relation to the formation of the Company, the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K and reverse merger expenses which represent cash from the private placement offering (see financial statements Note 7) which were used towards fees in relation to the LOI (see financial statements Note 7). $1,200,000 of such proceeds will be kept by the parent, AFH Holding & Advisory.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At January 31, 2016, the Company had no capital resources and will rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses pending acquisition of an operating company.

Management anticipates seeking out a target company through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World Wide Web sites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons who will be contacted or solicited. Management may engage in such solicitation directly or may employ one or more other entities to conduct or assist in such solicitation. Management and its affiliates will pay referral fees to consultants and others who refer target businesses for mergers into public companies in which management and its affiliates have an interest. Payments are made if a business combination occurs, and may consist of cash or a portion of the stock in the Company retained by management and its affiliates, or both.

The Company and/or shareholders will supervise the search for target companies as potential candidates for a business combination. The Company and/or shareholders may pay as their own expenses any costs incurred in supervising the search for a target company. The Company and/or shareholders may enter into agreements with other consultants to assist in locating a target company and may share stock received by it or cash resulting from the sale of its securities with such other consultants.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our operational expenses, in their report on our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we have losses for the three months ended January 31, 2016 totaling $1,825 as well as an accumulated deficit since inception amounting to $3,027,836 and working capital deficit of $36,400.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15, an evaluation was completed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President, Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s President, Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal controls over financial reporting are designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, 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.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

	1.	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
	2.	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
	3.	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 31, 2016.

This annual report does not include a report from the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to the permanent exemption established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for public companies designated as small filers.
