Explanatory Note
This Annual Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). These statements are based on managements beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Company set forth under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Forward-looking statements also include statements in which words such as expect, anticipate, intend, plan, believe, estimate, consider or similar expressions are used.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Companys future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
The Company has not generated revenues from its planned principal operations and since its inception. It cannot take advantage of being an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act because it had become a public company prior to December 8, 2011.
Item 1.
BUSINESS
We were incorporated in Nevada on January 23, 2004. On March 1, 2004, we filed a Registration Statement on Form 10SB with the SEC (File No.: 000-50612) and in September 2004, we filed a notice of election to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (File No.: 814-00671) which made us a closed-end management investment company. Our goal was to provide investors with the opportunity to participate with a modest amount in venture capital investments that are generally not available to the public and that typically require substantially larger financial commitments.
We were unable to raise the capital necessary to commence making investments as a BDC and have not generated any revenue. As a result, we had been a development stage company since inception. To date, all of our efforts have been limited primarily to organizational and business planning activities and preparation of documents to be filed with the SEC. All of our expenses incurred since inception relate to fees incurred for these purposes.
On July 13, 2008, our Board of Directors supported by the written consents of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock elected to withdraw our election and we ceased being a BDC and in November 2008, we terminated our Section 12(g) registration and its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act of 1934 by filing the necessary Form 15 with the SEC. At that time, we decided to use the business connections of our then president and become a consulting business. Our goal is to obtain clients through our presidents business contacts and then use subcontractors and independent contractors to provide strategic business planning and management consulting to these clients that are likely to be small domestic companies and to assist medium sized international companies trying to establish a business presence in the United States. All of our resources for the period ended January 31, 2009 were devoted to ending our election as a BDC and preparing related regulatory filings. During the year ended January 31, 2010, we started to work on preparing public filings and developing a new business plan.
In May 2011, our shareholders, based on the consents of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of common stock, voted to Paul Tidwell as Chairman and appointed as President.
In July 2008, we completed a 1-for-100 reverse split of shares of our common stock and issued 82,080,000 (which gives retroactive effect to a 19-for-1 forward split declared in February 2009) new shares to settle a substantial portion of our liabilities. In May 2011, holders of $20,000 of the Companys accrued expenses agreed to accept 2,000,000 of its newly-issued, restricted shares in full settlement of the amounts due to them and issued 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to Paul Tidwell. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 50 shares of common stock commencing on April 1, 2012. In January 2013 the Company issued 9,500,000 shares of common stock (including 3,000,000 to Paul Tidwell) to satisfy $20,000 in consulting fees due to an unaffiliated firm and unpaid costs incurred by Mr. Tidwell. Following these transactions, we had 106,500,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. All shares and per share amounts disclosed throughout this Report give retroactive effect to both of the splits.

In May 2011, the Company entered into agreements with its new President who brought the Company a new business plan of finding and assisting in the salvage of sunken ships. Our new President, Paul Tidwell, devotes fulltime to implementing the new business plan. He has extensive experience in finding and salvaging sunken ships. Some of his activities have been filmed and shown on networks like the History Channel and Discovery Channel. To accomplish this new business plan, the Company will have to raise substantial debt or equity capital or conduct projects jointly with other parties who provide project funding since each project is likely to require several million dollars. Each project will require a surface vessel and crew, small submarine, salvage equipment and sophisticated cameras and filming equipment.
Since May 2011, Paul Tidwell has been working fulltime identifying the specific projects that we will attempt to undertake initially and seek financing for those projects. As part of those plans we consider applicable maritime and international laws concerning the ownership of any recovered items. We also consider projects that may be attractive for the sale of video rights to the search and recovery efforts.
The Company is currently actively considering and negotiating several projects that have been extensively researched by its President. Several trips, including to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, have been taken or have been scheduled. The projects being discussed include:
·
The right to undertake an exploration to find the Flor de la Mar, a Portuguese ship that sank in 1511 with a rumored large cargo of treasures.
·
The right to participate in the salvage of the contents of the Flor de la Mar.
·
The right to sell or auction all or a portion of the contents salvaged from the Flor de la Mar.
·
A program to salvage/recover shipwreck artifacts at various sites throughout Panay Island, Philippines.
·
A program to salvage a Japanese submarine sunk during World War ll.
·
The right to assist in the sale or auction the existing Indonesian Government inventory of ancient Chinese Porcelain.
The contract/project discussions are being undertaken with a variety of people and entities, including Government officials outside the United States. Before any contract can be completed, the parties have to negotiate how the proceeds of any salvaged assets would be distributed.
The likely outcome of these projects and discussions cannot be predicted at this time.
Competition
There are a number of other entities that seek to salvage sunken vessels. These firms generally have greater resources than do we. We believe that our competitive advantage comes from the extensive research done over a long period of time by our President. This research gives us strong indications as to the specific location and possible contents of targeted sunken vessels. It also provides knowledge as to the likelihood of claims by Governments, insurance companies and others with respect to any contents that are recovered.
We cannot predict whether the competitive advantages that we believe exist will result in success of our operations.
Intellectual Property
We have no patents or trademarks.
Employees
As of April 24, 2017, we had one employee, Paul Tidwell, our President, who devotes fulltime to us. Our president oversees all responsibilities in the areas of business plan development and execution. We do not have any other employees at this time. We plan on using subcontractors and independent consultants to work with us on all projects that we undertake.

Item 1A.
RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to the Business
Innocap has a very limited operating history and anticipates on-going operating losses.
Innocap was formed in 2004 as a BDC. Paul Tidwell became a major shareholder in 2011 and introduced the current business plan involving assisting in the salvage of sunken ships. We currently have insufficient operating history upon which an evaluation of our future performance and prospects can be made. Innocaps future prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays, problems and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business. An investor in our common stock must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies operating in new and competitive markets. These risks include:
·
Competition from entities that are much more established and have greater financial and technical resources than do we;
·
Need to develop corporate infrastructure;
·
Ability to access and obtain capital when required; and
·
Dependence upon key personnel.
Innocap cannot be certain that our new business strategy will be successful or that we will ever be able to commence or sustain revenue generating and profitable activities. Furthermore, Innocap believes that it is probable that we will incur operating losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future.
Innocap has limited financial resources, negative working capital and an accumulated deficit at January 31, 2017. Our independent registered auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on Innocaps financial statements as of January 31, 2017 that states that this lack of resources causes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No assurances can be given that we will generate sufficient revenue or obtain any financing that may be necessary in order to continue as a going concern.
Innocap is and will continue to be completely dependent on the services of our new president, Paul Tidwell, the loss of whose services would likely cause our business operations to cease.
Innocaps current business strategy is completely dependent upon the knowledge, reputation and business contacts of Paul Tidwell, our new President. If we were to lose the services of Mr. Tidwell, it is unlikely that we would be able to continue conducting our business plan even if some financing is obtained.
Our chief executive officer, Mr. Tidwell, is principally responsible for the execution of our business. He is under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us. If he should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired qualified additional personnel, our operations are likely to fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines planned by Mr. Tidwell. We will fail without Mr. Tidwell or an appropriate replacement(s).
We will need to raise financing for many projects that we undertake.
Through research we will identify potential salvage projects. Each project is expensive to undertake in that they require a significant amount of time, a surface vessel and crew, small submarine, salvage equipment and sophisticated cameras and filming equipment. Therefore, we will have to either locate other parties to undertake the projects on a joint venture basis or obtain significant financing to undertake each salvage project. There is no way of predicting what the availability or terms of partnering or financing will be. Without financing, we cannot undertake any salvage project.
Salvage projects, if undertaken, may prove unsuccessful.
We may undertake salvage projects and be unsuccessful in locating the sunken vessel. Even if we locate the vessel, we may be unable to salvage it or it may not have the cargo that was anticipated. In these cases, we will have incurred significant costs without realizing any benefits. If this happens, it may prevent us from obtaining financing for future salvage projects.
6
Paul Tidwell, our Chief Executive Officer, has no meaningful accounting or financial reporting education or experience and, accordingly, our ability to meet Exchange Act reporting requirements on a timely basis will be dependent to a significant degree upon others.
Paul Tidwell, our Chief Executive Officer, has no meaningful financial reporting education or experience. He is and will continue to be heavily dependent on advisors and consultants. It is uncertain whether we will be successful in agreeing to financial arrangements with independent consultants that will be achievable by us. As such, there is risk about our ability to comply with all financial reporting requirements accurately and on a timely basis.
We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which requires us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.
By having filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC in March 2004 (File No. 000-50612), we became subject to the reporting requirements under Section 12(g) of the 34 Act. Subsequently, in November 2008, we terminated our Section 12(g) registration (and its reporting requirements) under the SEC Exchange Act of 1934 by filing the necessary Form 15 with the SEC.
In addition, upon the effective date of our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-153035, effective January 16, 2009) we became required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm has to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel has to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.
We currently have only one employee, which is not a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities. We may be unable to afford the cost of increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees.
Having only one director, who is also an officer, limits our ability to establish effective independent corporate governance procedures and increases the control of our president/director.
We have only one director, who is also an officer. Accordingly, we cannot establish board committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like compensation or audit issues.
Until we have a larger board of directors that would include some independent members, if ever, there will be limited oversight of our presidents decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the 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 and includes 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 that 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 acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
7
Because of our limited resources and personnel, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.
Legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it more difficult for us to retain or attract officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with relatively recent accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles in our company because of our extremely limited resources. Our lack of financial resources limits our ability to compensate potential directors sufficiently in light of the regulatory and legal environment as well as provide liability insurance to potential officers and directors. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We continue to evaluate and monitor developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.
We have no committed source of financing. We will need to seek debt or equity financing to undertake our business plan of finding and salvaging sunken ships. Debt financing will likely involve issuing notes that will be convertible into shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued common shares. In addition, if a trading market ever develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuance may also serve to enhance existing managements ability to maintain control of our Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability. These provisions may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.
Our Articles of Incorporation and applicable Nevada law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorneys fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such persons written promise to repay us therefore, if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we may be unable to recoup.
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our securities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.
8
Currently, there is no established public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any established public market will ever develop.
Our shares trade on the OTCQB. However, there has not been any established trading market for our common stock, and there is currently no established public market whatsoever for our securities. If a public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment. There can be no assurances as to whether:
(i)
any market for our shares will develop;
(ii)
the prices at which our common stock will trade; or the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors. In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.
The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter market which is commonly referred to as the OTCQB as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.
Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a penny stock, for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a persons account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a persons account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
·
The basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and
·
That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
9
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if and when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, in all probability, if they trade at all, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future, and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.
Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
·
Boiler room practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons;
·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
·
Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
If a public market for our common stock develops, short selling could increase the volatility of our stock price.
Short selling occurs when a person sells shares of stock which the person does not yet own and promises to buy stock in the future to cover the sale. The general objective of the person selling the shares short is to make a profit by buying the shares later, at a lower price, to cover the sale. Significant amounts of short selling, or the perception that a significant amount of short sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. In contrast, purchases to cover a short position may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on over-the-counter bulletin board or any other available markets or exchanges. Such short selling if it were to occur could impact the value of our stock in an extreme and volatile manner to the detriment of our shareholders.
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell shares.
Secondary trading in our common stock will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted.
The ability of our officers and majority shareholders to control our business may limit or eliminate minority shareholders ability to influence corporate affairs.
Currently, our president and four other principal shareholders beneficially own more than 90% of our outstanding common stock. Because of this level of beneficial stock ownership, these shareholders will be in a position to continue to elect our board of directors, decide all matters requiring stockholder approval and determine our policies. The interests of such shareholders may differ from the interests of other shareholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority shareholders would have no way of overriding decisions made by our principal shareholders. This level of control may also have an adverse impact on the market value of our shares because these stockholders may institute or undertake transactions, policies or programs that result in losses, may not take any steps to increase our visibility in the financial community and/or may sell sufficient numbers of shares to significantly decrease our price per share.
10
Anti-takeover provisions of Nevada State Law hinder a potential takeover of Innocap.
Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings or resources, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them at a price higher than that which they initially paid for such shares. There may not be any market into which to sell these shares and, if a market exists, the prices may be lower.
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.
We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our two directors have the unchallenged ability, among other things, to determine levels of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and any potential investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
To continue to have our shares quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board, we will be required to remain current in our filings with the SEC and our securities will not be eligible for quotation if we are not current in our filings with the SEC.
To continue to have our shares quoted on the OTCQB, we will be required to remain current in our filings with the SEC in order for shares of our common stock to remain eligible for quotation on the OTCQB. In the event that we become delinquent in our required quarterly and annual filings with the SEC, quotation of our common stock will be terminated following a 30 day grace period if we do not make our required filing during that time. If our shares are not eligible for quotation on the over-the-counter bulletin board, investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.
We were required to file periodic reports with the SEC (by virtue of having filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC on March 1, 2004), and such reports as were filed remain available to the public for inspection and copying. In November 2008, we subsequently terminated our Section 12(g) registration (and its reporting requirements) under SEC Exchange Act of 1934 by filing the necessary Form 15 with the SEC.
11
Despite the above and as of effectiveness of our registration statement on January 16, 2009 we became required to file periodic reports with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. Except during the year following our registration statement becoming effective, these reporting obligations may (in our discretion) be automatically suspended by operation of statute under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if we have less than 300 shareholders and have not filed a Form 8A with the SEC. That situation exists now which means that we may file periodic reports voluntarily with the SEC but will no longer be obligated to file those periodic reports with the SEC, and your access to our business information would then be even more restricted. Since January 16, 2009 (the date our registration statement on Form S-1 became effective), we have been required to deliver periodic reports to security holders. However, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our directors, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 until we have both 500 or more security holders and greater than $10 million in assets and are required to register our shares under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. This means that your access to information regarding our business will be limited.
For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in the Companys securities in any market which may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk. Any person considering an investment in such securities should be aware of these and other risk factors set forth in this Form 10-K.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
As of April 19 2017, there is no and has never been any established trading market for our common stock, and there is currently no established public market whatsoever for our securities. We have a trading symbol (INNO) but there can be no assurances as to whether:
·
any market for our shares will develop in the foreseeable future if at all;
·
the prices at which our common stock will trade; or
·
the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors.
Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or blue sky laws of certain states and foreign jurisdictions. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time.
We have never paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to apply any earnings to fund the development of our business. The purchase of shares of common stock is inappropriate for investors seeking current or near term income.
As of the close of business on April 24, 2017, there were 46 stockholders of record of our common stock, and 130,825,000 shares were issued and outstanding.
No underwriter participated in the issuance of our shares, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid to anyone.
The Company has never repurchased any of its equity securities.
Blue Sky Considerations
Because our securities have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors should consider any secondary market for the Companys securities to be a limited one.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
We are considered to be a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1), and, therefore, are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this annual report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements contained in this annual report involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:
·
our future operating results,
·
our business prospects,
·
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties,
·
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we may be involved,
·
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital, and
·
other factors identified in our filings with the SEC, press releases, if any and other public communications.
These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as we believe, anticipate, expect, estimate or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which are described in close proximity to such statements and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this Form 10-K. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of the date of this report and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Companys management believes to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Companys results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read together with the Companys financial statements and the notes to financial statements, which are included in this report.
Operations
We were incorporated in Nevada on January 23, 2004. In September 2004, we filed a notice of election to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which made us a closed-end management investment company. Our goal was to provide investors with the opportunity to participate with a modest amount in venture capital investments that are generally not available to the public and that typically require substantially larger financial commitments.
In July 2008, we withdrew our election and ceased being a BDC. At that time, we decided to use the business connections of our president and become a consulting business. Our goal was to obtain clients through our presidents business contacts and then use subcontractors and independent contractors to provide strategic business planning and management consulting to these clients that are likely to be small domestic companies and medium sized international companies trying to establish a business presence in the United States. In November 2008 we terminated our Section 12(g) reporting requirements under the Exchange Act of 1934 by filing a Form 15 with the SEC.
Our efforts to commence revenue producing consulting activities, in our judgment, have been severely impacted by the recession and slow recovery affecting the economy during the period 2008 through 2010. The SEC adopted Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Exchange Act Rule 12b-2 which defines a shell company as a registrant that has no or nominal operations, and either
(a)
no or nominal assets;
(b)
assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or
(c)
assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
Our balance sheet had no assets, and we had not generated operating revenue. Therefore, we were a shell company until April 2011 when our new President began implementing a specific business plan, as discussed below, on a full time basis.
14
In May 2011, the Company entered into agreements with its new President who brought the Company a new business plan of finding and salvaging sunken ships. Our new President, Paul Tidwell, devotes fulltime to implementing the new business plan. He has extensive experience in finding and salvaging sunken ships. Some of his activities have been filmed and shown on networks like the History Channel and Discovery Channel. To accomplish this new business plan, the Company will have to raise substantial debt or equity capital or conduct projects jointly with other parties who provide project funding since each project is likely to require several million dollars. Each project will require a surface vessel and crew, small submarine, salvage equipment and sophisticated cameras and filming equipment.
The Company is currently actively considering several projects that have been extensively researched by its President. Several trips, including to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, have been taken. Negotiations have been underway with companies based in Florida, Canada and Sweden. A contract has been signed with an Indonesian company. That company is now negotiating a contract with the appropriate Indonesian government departments. If fully executed, the Company would need to obtain financing to carry out its obligations. There is no certainty that such financing could be obtained. The negotiations with the companies in Florida, Canada and Sweden relate to attempts to combine their resources with the Companys knowledge. No assurances can be given regarding the likelihood of these negotiations culminating in executed contracts.
The projects being discussed include:
·
A program to salvage a Japanese submarine sunk during World War ll.
·
The right to assist in the sale or auction the existing Indonesian Government Inventory of Porcelain.
·
The right to undertake an exploration to find the Flor de la Mar, a Portuguese ship that sank in 1511 with a rumored large cargo of treasures.
·
The right to participate in the salvage of the contents of the Flor de la Mar.
·
The right to sell or auction all or a portion of the contents salvaged from the Flor de la Mar.
·
A program to salvage/recover shipwreck artifacts at various sites throughout Panay Island, Philippines.
The contract/project discussions are being undertaken with a variety of people and entities, including Government officials outside the United States. Before any contract can be completed, the parties have to negotiate how the proceeds of any salvaged assets would be distributed. The likely outcome of these projects and discussions cannot be predicted at this time.
Innocap has received an agreement with a company based in the Republic of the Philippines under which Innocap agreed to organize, plan and supervise recovery efforts of a shipwreck located off the coast of the Philippines. The ship, based on preliminary studies, appears to contain a cargo of Chinese porcelain made during the Ming Dynasty. Efforts will be made by Innocap to further identify and evaluate the best method of recovery, which includes conservation and archeological study of the pieces when made available. Under the agreement, the Philippine company is responsible for obtaining all necessary Government and other approvals, permits and licenses. The preliminary recovery efforts will begin when and if all required permits and licenses are obtained.
Under the terms of the agreement, Innocap will be entitled to 50% of any cargo that is recovered from the salvage. Although many ships from the Ming Dynasty era contained cargoes worth millions of dollars by todays standards, there is no way at this time to estimate the value of the cargo on this sunken ship.
There is no way of predicting whether or when any of the projects being negotiated or pursued by Innocap will be completed and, if completed, the level of profits, if any.
Innocap, Inc. has limited financial resources and has not established a source of equity or debt financing and an accumulated deficit at January 31, 2017. Our independent registered auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on Innocaps financial statements as of January 31, 2017, that states that this lack of resources causes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No assurances can be given that we will generate sufficient revenue or obtain any financing that may be necessary in order to continue as a going concern.
The Company agreed to pay $25,000 per quarter to its President starting with the quarter ended July 31, 2014. All other expenses incurred during the year ended January 31, 2017 consist of costs, including travel expenses, incurred by Mr. Tidwell to negotiate potential contracts, rent, consulting fees, administrative costs and professional fees.
15
Other
As a corporate policy, we will not incur any cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, of which there are currently none except as described in Liquidity below.
Results of Operations
Revenue
We have not had any revenues from operations as of January 31, 2017.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 were $222,919 and $151,070, respectively. The Company also recorded $12,600 for loss on settlement of payable for the year ended January 31, 2016.
Net Loss
Net loss for the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 were $222,919 and $151,070, respectively.
Liquidity
Innocap does not have any credit facilities or other commitments for debt or equity financing. In May 2011, the Company and principal shareholders entered into agreements with its new president who will bring the Company a new business plan of finding and salvaging sunken ships. Our President, Paul Tidwell, has extensive experience in finding and salvaging sunken ships. Some of his activities have been filmed and shown on networks like the History Channel and Discovery Channel. To accomplish our business plan, the Company will have to raise substantial debt or equity capital since each project is likely to require several million dollars. Each project will require a surface vessel and crew, small submarine, salvage equipment and sophisticated cameras and filming equipment. Initially, the Company will seek funds from the business contacts of its new officers. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing and, if obtained, what the terms will be. The Company is currently seeking sources of debt and equity financing but cannot predict the likelihood of success.
We are currently subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934 and will continue to incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements if required. We estimate that these costs may range up to $50,000 per year for the next few years and will be higher if our business volume and activity increases. These obligations will reduce our ability and resources to fund other aspects of our business. We hope to be able to use our status as a public company to increase our ability to use noncash means of settling obligations and compensating independent contractors who provide services for us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of those efforts. We will reduce any compensation paid to management if there is insufficient cash generated from operations to satisfy these costs.
In July 2008, we elected to cease being a BDC and to become a consulting company. At that time, we effectuated a 1 for 100 reverse split of shares of our common stock and issued 82,080,000 (as restated to give effect to the 19 for 1 forward split declared in May 2011) new shares to settle a substantial portion of our outstanding liabilities.
In May 2011, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to settle $20,000 in accrued expenses due to consultants. In May 2011, the Company also issued 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to Paul Tidwell. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 50 shares of common stock commencing on April 1, 2012.
In January 2013, the Company issued 9,500,000 shares of common stock (including 3,000,000 to Paul Tidwell) to satisfy $20,000 in consulting fees due to an unaffiliated firm and unreimbursed costs incurred by Mr. Tidwell.
In April 2014, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of newly-issued common stock to an unaffiliated investor for $100,000.
In October 2014, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of newly-issued common stock to an unaffiliated investor for $50,000.
16
In January 2015, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of newly-issued common stock to an unaffiliated investor for $50,000.
In August 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Charles E. Hill and Associates (Investor) under which the Investor agreed to finance an exploration to find the Flor de la Mar, a Portuguese ship that sank in 1511 with a rumored large cargo of treasures. Undertaking this project is contingent on finalizing an agreement with the Government of Indonesia. The Investor is an entity controlled by a minority shareholder of the Company.
As of January 31, 2017, the Investor had provided advances of $210,000 under this Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will provide the Investor with periodic budgets and documentation of expenses relating to the project. If anything is recovered from the project, the Companys share will be split evenly with the Investor after expenses are reimbursed. If a contract with Indonesia is executed, it is likely that the contract will specify that the Company will have to split the proceeds of any recovery with Indonesia. If a contract is not reached with Indonesia, the Advance will be applied to any other contract that is executed by us.
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 accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.
There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Note 2 to the financial statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Seasonality
We do not yet have a basis to determine whether our business will be seasonal.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure and controls and procedures
Based on his evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K the Companys principal executive officer has concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 31, 2017.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was 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. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined, under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuers principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuers 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 and includes 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 issuer;
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuers assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
The Companys principal executive officer has assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2017. In making this assessment, the Companys principal executive officer was guided by the releases issued by the SEC and to the extent applicable the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Companys principal executive officer has concluded that based on his assessment, as of January 31, 2017, the Companys procedures of internal control over financial reporting were not effective.
Readers are cautioned that internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
18
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Item 9B
OTHER INFORMATION
No event occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 that would have required disclosure in a report on Form 8-K.
PART III
Item 10.
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.
Our executive officers and directors are as follows:
Name | Age | Title |
Paul Tidwell | 67 | Chairman, President and CFO |
Paul Tidwell - has worked as a consultant and contractor in various aspects of the salvage industry for more than 25 years. He has been president of Innocap since May 2011.
The term of office of each director expires at our annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. No officer or director has any prior history with a blank check company, a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, other entity, or person.
Possible Potential Conflicts
The OTCQB on which we plan to have our shares of common stock quoted at some point in the future does not have any director independence requirements.
No member of management is or will be required by us to work on a full time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer in that he may have other business interests in the future to which he devotes his attentions, and he may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through his exercise of such judgment as is consistent with his understanding of his fiduciary duties to us. In an effort to deal with such potential conflict our President has entered into an agreement with the Company as summarized in Risk Factor entitled There are significant potential conflicts of interest. Our president devotes only a portion of his time to us and may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. In the course of other business activities, he may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us, as well as the other entities with which he is affiliated or knows. As such, there may be conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
Currently we have only one officer who is also our only director and will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.
Board of Directors
All directors hold office until the completion of their term of office, which is not longer than one year, or until their successors have been elected. Our directors term of office expires on January 31, 2018. All officers are appointed annually by the board of directors and, subject to existing employment agreements (of which there are currently none) and serve at the discretion of the board. Currently, our directors receive no compensation for their role as directors.
If we have an even number of directors, tie votes on issues will be resolved in favor of the chairmans vote.
19
All directors will be reimbursed by us for any expenses incurred in attending directors meetings provided that we have the resources to pay these fees. We will consider applying for officers and directors liability insurance at such time when we have the resources to do so.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
On February 16, 2010, we adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which is applicable to our future employees and which also includes a Code of Ethics for our chief executive and principal financial officers and any persons performing similar functions. A code of ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
·
honest and ethical conduct,
·
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements,
·
compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations,
·
the prompt reporting violation of the code, and
·
accountability for adherence to the code.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings.
There have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director, executive officer, promoter or control person of Innocap during the past five years.
Item 11.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Item 12
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As of April 24, 2017, we had 130,825,000 shares of common stock outstanding which are held by 46 shareholders. The chart below sets forth the ownership, or claimed ownership, of certain individuals and entities. This chart discloses those persons known by the board of directors to have, or claim to have, beneficial ownership of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of April 24, 2017; of all directors and executive officers of Innocap; and of our directors and officers as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, Innocap believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the common stock beneficially owned by them. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities which may be acquired by such person within 60 days from the date indicated above upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities. Each beneficial owners percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and which are exercisable within 60 days of the date indicated above, have been exercised.
Name and Address of Beneficial Owner | Number of Shares Beneficially Owned | Percent of Class |

Shareholder Matters
As an issuer of penny stock, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us as long as our shares continue to be penny stocks. Although the federal securities law provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS or Nevada law). Certain provisions of Nevada law create rights that might be deemed material to our shareholders. Other provisions might delay or make more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control or might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management or might make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that some of our shareholders may believe to be in their best interests.
Directors Duties. Section 78.138 of the Nevada law allows our directors and officers, in exercising their powers to further our interests, to consider the interests of our employees, suppliers, creditors and customers. They can also consider the economy of the state and the nation, the interests of the community and of society and our long-term and short-term interests and shareholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by our continued independence. Our directors may resist a change or potential change in control if they, by a majority vote of a quorum, determine that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in our best interest. Our board of directors may consider these interests or have reasonable grounds to believe that, within a reasonable time, any debt which might be created as a result of the change in control would cause our assets to be less than our liabilities, render us insolvent, or cause us to file for bankruptcy protection
Amendments to Bylaws - Our articles of incorporation provide that the power to adopt, alter, amend, or repeal our bylaws is vested exclusively with the board of directors. In exercising this discretion, our board of directors could conceivably alter our bylaws in ways that would affect the rights of our shareholders and the ability of any shareholder or group to effect a change in our control; however, the board would not have the right to do so in a way that would violate law or the applicable terms of our articles of incorporation.

Item 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
In January 2013, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to satisfy unreimbursed costs incurred by Mr. Tidwell.
In December 2014, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to settle $27,000 of accrued expenses due to Mr. Tidwell.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, Mr. Tidwell received 5,000,000 shares of common stock to satisfy accrued expenses due to him.
Director Independence; Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is comprised of one individual, who is also integral to the operations of our company, we do not have a majority of independent directors as that term is defined under Rule 4200(a) (15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, even though that definition does not currently apply to us, because we are not listed on the NASDAQ. We anticipate that if we expand our Board of Directors in the future, that we will seek to include members who are independent. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include independent directors.
Our Board of Directors has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by the entire board as a whole. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. Further, since our securities are not listed on an exchange, we are not subject to any qualitative requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees.
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given the nature of our operations and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
None of our directors is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In general, an audit committee financial expert is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:
a)
understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,
b)
is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,
c)
has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,
d)
understands internal controls over financial reporting, and
e)
understands audit committee functions.
We believe that the members of our Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances.
22
Item 14.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees: We have incurred fees totaling $11,500 and $10,750 for audit services for the fiscal 2016 and 2015 annual audits of the Companys financial statements included as part of our Form 10-K filing and audit related services including the quarterly reviews associated with our Form 10-Q filings.

These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards and were not incurred for fiscal 2017 and 2016.
Tax Services Fees: Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance. These services include assistance regarding federal, state, and local tax compliance. Tax fees were not incurred during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016.
All Other Fees: Other fees, which were not incurred, would include fees for products and services other than the services reported above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Innocap, Inc.
Jefferson, Texas
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Innocap, Inc. as of January 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended. Innocap, Inc.s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innocap, Inc. as of January 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Innocap, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, Innocap, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

January 31, 2017 and 2016
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Innocap, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 23, 2004. In May 2011, the Company and its principal shareholders entered into agreements with its current President who provided the Company with a new business plan of finding and assisting in the salvaging of sunken ships. To do this, the Company will have to raise capital to undertake each project. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing.
NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Companys financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Year-end
The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on January 31.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. GAAP 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 could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered or assets shipped to a customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits.
Share-Based Payments
The measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and its director are recognized in the financial statements, based on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants and recognizes the fair value of the award over the period of the services are rendered or goods are provided.
F-7
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of January 31, 2017 or 2016. There were 1,000,000 shares of convertible preferred shares outstanding at both periods which are not considered dilutive because the Company incurred operating losses during each fiscal year.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions from January 31, 2017 through the financial issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
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 accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At January 31, 2017, the Company had negative working capital and an accumulated deficit of $839,670 and had no revenues. These factors, among others, indicate that the Companys continuation as a going concern for the twelve months following the filing of these financial statements is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations or obtain adequate financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
The Company intends to continue seeking revenue producing projects through a new business plan of operations and the business contacts of its new officers. No assurances can be given as to the likelihood of it obtaining any revenue producing projects.
NOTE 4 EXPLORATION FINANCING
On August 17, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Charles E. Hill and Associates (Investor) under which the Investor agreed to finance in several stages an exploration to find the Flor de la Mar, a Portuguese ship that sank in 1511 with a rumored large cargo of treasures. The first stage of financing will be up to $500,000. Undertaking this project is contingent on finalizing an agreement with the Government of Indonesia. The Investor is an entity controlled by a minority shareholder of the Company.
As of January 31, 2017, the Investor had provided advances of $210,000 under this Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will provide the Investor with periodic budgets and documentation of expenses relating to the project. If anything is recovered from the project, the Companys share will be split evenly with the Investor after expenses are reimbursed. If a contract with Indonesia is executed, it is likely that the contract will specify that the Company will have to split the proceeds of any recovery with Indonesia.
F-8
NOTE 5 STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT
Preferred Stock
The Companys certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its board of directors. Accordingly, the Companys board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with voting, liquidation, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock.
In May 2011, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to its President Paul Tidwell. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 50 shares of common stock commencing on April 1, 2012.
As of January 31, 2017, the Company had 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
In May 2016, the Company agreed to settle accrued liabilities to third parties of $12,000 for the issuance of 1,200,000 shares of common stock, valued at $15,600 and issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to its President valued at $39,000 to settle obligations of $30,000 due to him. The Company recorded a $12,600 loss for the settlements.
In May 2016, the Company issued 800,000 shares of the Companys common stock to a consultant for services. These shares were valued at $10,400 on the date of issuance.
In December 2016, The Company agreed to settle accrued liabilities to third parties of $48,000 for the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $48,000 and issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to its President valued at $24,000, to settle obligations of $24,000 due to him.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
Innocap experienced a change in control both in 2008 and in 2011. Accordingly, the utilization of its net operating loss against future taxable income will be limited and no net operating losses are available to carry forward to offset future taxable income. The operating loss incurred subsequent to the change in control that occurred in 2011 was approximately $400,000. The potential benefit from the carryforward of this loss has been fully reserved because utilization is doubtful.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is provided office space by its President for $350 per month. There is no formal lease agreement. The Companys President is currently funding many of the Companys current operating and travel expenses.
