BOTS, INC./PR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (form 10-K)

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements included herein. Further, this MD&A should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended April 30, 2021
and 2020, as well as the “Business” and “Risk Factors” sections within this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis may contain various “forward looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of
the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in
this Form 10-K, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated
cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to
“anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements
or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking
statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the
Company’s business and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may
be beyond the control of the Company. The Company has adopted the most
conservative recognition of revenue based on the most astringent guidelines of
the SEC. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to
comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual
basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e. SBDC). The
Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set
forth therein.

Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these
forward-looking statements.

Any future equity financing will cause existing shareholders to experience
dilution of their interest in our Company. In the event we are not successful in
raising additional financing, we anticipate that we will not be able to proceed
with our business plan. In such a case, we may decide to discontinue our current
business plan and seek other business opportunities in the resource sector. Any
business opportunity would require our management to perform diligence on
possible acquisitions.

During this period, we will need to maintain our periodic filings with the
appropriate regulatory authorities and will incur legal and accounting costs. In
the event no other such opportunities are available, and we cannot raise
additional capital to sustain operations, we may be forced to discontinue
business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities in mind
and have not planned for any such contingency.

The Company’s MD&A is comprised of significant accounting estimates made in the
normal course of its operations, overview of the Company’s business conditions,
results of operations, liquidity and capital resources and contractual
obligations.

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations is based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (or “GAAP”). The preparation of those financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities at the date of its financial statements. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

OVERVIEW


Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies Generally

We are in the process of transitioning into the blockchain and robotics
automation industries.

Distributed blockchain technology is a decentralized and encrypted ledger that
is designed to offer a secure, efficient, verifiable, and permanent way of
storing records and other information without the need for intermediaries.
Cryptocurrencies serve multiple purposes. They can serve as a medium of
exchange, store of value or unit of account. Examples of cryptocurrencies
include: bitcoin, bitcoin cash, and litecoin. Blockchain technologies are being
evaluated for a multitude of industries due to the belief in their ability to
have a significant impact in many areas of business, finance, information
management, and governance.

Cryptocurrencies are decentralized currencies that enable near instantaneous
transfers. Transactions occur via an open source, cryptographic protocol
platform which uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central
authority. The online network hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the
blockchain, and each cryptocurrency is associated with a source code that
comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing
the blockchain. In a cryptocurrency network, every peer has its own copy of the
blockchain, which contains records of every historical transaction – effectively
containing records of all account balances. Each account is identified solely by
its unique public key (making it effectively anonymous) and is secured with its
associated private key (kept secret, like a password). The combination of
private and public cryptographic keys constitutes a secure digital identity in
the form of a digital signature, providing strong control of ownership.

No single entity owns or operates the network. The infrastructure is
collectively maintained by a decentralized public user base. As the network is
decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial
institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of the currency units.
Rather, the value is determined by market factors, supply and demand for the
units, the prices being set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter among
transacting parties, as well as the number of merchants that may accept the
cryptocurrency. Since transfers do not require involvement of intermediaries or
third parties, there are currently little to no transaction costs in direct
peer-to-peer transactions. Units of cryptocurrency can be converted to fiat
currencies, such as the US dollar, at rates determined on various exchanges,
such as Cumberland, Coinsquare (in Canada), Coinbase, Bitsquare, Bitstamp, and
others. Cryptocurrency prices are quoted on various exchanges and fluctuate with
extreme volatility.

We believe cryptocurrencies offer many advantages over traditional, fiat
currencies, although many of these factors also present potential disadvantages
and may introduce additional risks, including:



    ·   acting as a fraud deterrent, as cryptocurrencies are digital and cannot be
        counterfeited or reversed arbitrarily by a sender?
    ·   immediate settlement?
    ·   elimination of counterparty risk?
    ·   no trusted intermediary required?
    ·   lower fees?
    ·   identity theft prevention?
    ·   accessible by everyone?
    ·   transactions are verified and protected through a confirmation process,
        which prevents the problem of double spending?
    ·   decentralized - no central authority (government or financial
        institution)? and
    ·   recognized universally and not bound by government imposed or market
        exchange rates.





         22

However, cryptocurrencies may not provide all of the benefits they purport to
offer at all or at any time.

Bitcoin was first introduced in 2008 and was first introduced as a means of
exchange in 2009. Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables a new payment
system and a completely new form of digital money. It is the first decentralized
peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central
authority or middlemen. From a user perspective, we believe bitcoin can be
viewed as cash for the Internet. The bitcoin network shares a public ledger
called the “blockchain.” This ledger contains every transaction ever processed,
allowing a user’s computer to verify the validity of each transaction. The
authenticity of each transaction is protected by digital signatures
corresponding to the sending addresses, allowing all users to have full control
over sending bitcoins currency rewards from their own bitcoin addresses. In
addition, anyone can process transactions using the computing power of
specialized hardware and earn a reward in bitcoins for this service. This
process is often called “mining.”

As with many new and emerging technologies, there are potentially significant
risks. Businesses (including the Company) which are seeking to develop, promote,
adopt, transact or rely upon blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies have a
limited track record and operate within an untested new environment. These risks
are not only related to the businesses the Company pursues, but the sector and
industry as a whole, as well as the entirety of the concept behind blockchain
and cryptocurrency as value. Factors such as access to computer processing
capacity, interconnectivity, electricity cost, environmental factors (such as
cooling capacity) and location play an important role in “mining,” which is the
term for using the specialized computers in connection with the blockchain for
the creation of new units of cryptocurrency.

The Company is engaged in the business of digital cryptocurrency development and
blockchain development.




More regulations expected



2019 revealed a growing awareness on the part of federal agencies that
cryptocurrency (and technology in general) is beginning to become less a
component of society and more of the core element of it. The Federal Reserve
revealed recently the U.S. central bank is mulling over a potential digital
analogue for the greenback. Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue Service has firmed
up its guidance on reporting cryptocurrency transactions for the coming tax
season.

Now with one of the biggest and most controversial tech companies in the world
getting in on the cryptocurrency game, the cryptocurrency industry will likely
see local and national governments pay closer attention to the digital
currencies, for good or ill. For his part, Benzinga sees the current outlook on
guidance and regulations in cryptocurrency as mostly benign.

While most of the current legislation has been encouraging, ongoing experiments
may cut both ways for the larger cryptocurrency market. Supportive regulations
like those highlighted by Alex promise to foster growth and increase
transparency throughout the industry. On the other hand, highly restrictive
regulations like those coming out of China could mean increased turmoil for
digital assets.




The Market Consolidations



Turmoil might be a characteristic feature lower on the cryptocurrency food
chain. Because, despite flattening in 2018 as the price of bitcoin fell, the
number of cryptocurrencies in the market surged to more than 2300 through 2019,
according to the latest account from CoinMarketCap. Unfortunately, fewer than a
third of coins trade more than $100,000 of volume in a day. Meanwhile, more than
a third are valued at less than a tenth of a penny. The result is that there are
more coins in the cryptocurrency market now than ever before, but the total
amount of capital has flatlined throughout 2019. While a potential upswing in
cryptocurrency interest from mainstream finance might contribute to a subsequent
increase of capital, it’s unlikely to trickle down to the very smallest coins.
What’s more, as greater scrutiny comes to the market, regulatory burdens and
increased transparency among the larger players will likely root out those just
trying to make quick coin. In any case, the market has probably reached a
saturation point, and the number of available coins is likely to grow through
2021.




Crypto and Fintech Hook Up



The overarching theme of all of these trends is that cryptocurrency is growing
up, becoming mainstream and finally finding actual use cases, rather than just
hypothetical ones. With the introduction of Libra, the problem isn’t explaining
why cryptocurrency will be valuable and necessary soon but making it valuable
and necessary now – do or die. There are obviously questions about how
transactions will be implemented across an array of ledgers or how anonymized
transactions can be regulated. Part of this will come in the consolidation of
the industry and the continued struggle for interoperability between wallets and
ledgers. However, most of these questions will likely be answered by whoever
tries first, and financial technology companies are by far the most eager to
fill that role.

This necessity of innovation has been an evident trend throughout major areas of
the cryptocurrency market. Libra itself is (or was) stacked with members from
various fintech companies. Meanwhile, fintech unicorns like Plaid and Chime have
reached their valuations largely from investments by companies in the finance
industry like Visa and Goldman Sachs Group that are curious about digital
assets, but terrified of the uncertainty that surrounds them.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, deferred compensation
and contingencies.

We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates allow
us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources.

We believe the following accounting policies are our critical accounting
policies because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition
and results of operations, and they require critical management judgments and
estimates about matters that may be uncertain. If actual results or events
differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our
reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could
be materially affected.

Revenue Recognition Policies

Revenues are presented net of discounts. In general, we recognize revenue when
(i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or
determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Where arrangements
have multiple elements, revenue is allocated to the elements based on the
relative selling price method and revenue is recognized based on our policy for
each respective element. We generate revenue primarily from sales of the
electronic cigarettes, components for electronic cigarettes and related
accessories. We recognize revenue when the product is shipped.

Amounts billed or collected in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as
deferred revenue.

The Company measures construction revenue as a Cost-type contract in accordance
with ASC 605, which discusses accounting for performance of construction
contracts. The Company recognizes revenue on a cost-plus basis, provisions for
reimbursable costs (which are generally spelled out in the contract), overhead
recovery percentages, and fees. A fee may be a fixed amount or a percentage of
reimbursable costs or an amount based on performance criteria. Generally,
percentage fees may be accrued as the related costs are incurred, since they are
a percentage of costs incurred, and profits therefore are recognized as costs
are incurred.




Our operating results for the years ended April 30, 2021, and 2020 are
summarized as follows:



                                  For the year ended April 30,

for the year ended April 30, 2021. There were no sales in year ending April 30,
2020
therefore cost of goods sold remained the same.



Gross Profit


Our gross profit for the year ended April 30, 2021 was $0 compared to $115 for

April 30, 2021, from $718,386 for the year ended April 30, 2020.

The increase was primarily due to increase in stock-based compensation,
increasing from $273,000 in 2020 to $3,900,000 in 2021.

Our total operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2021 of $4,205,939

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Cash Requirements


We had cash available of $1,935 as of April 30, 2021. Based on our revenues,
cash on hand and current monthly burn rate, the company has enough cash to
sustain operations for 6 months. Without the use of stock-based compensation
and/or the raising of capital, the company projects it does not have enough
capital to sustain operations for a period of approximately the next 12 months.



Sources and Uses of Cash



Operations


We used $84,809 in continuing operating activities for the year ended April 30,
2021
, as compared to using $264,622 for the year ended April 30, 2020.



Investments


We used $5,000 in investment activities as of April 30, 2021, as compared to
cash received in investing activities of $24,103 for the year ended April 30,
2020
.




Financing



We received $90,064 in financing activities for the year ended April 30, 2021,
as compared to cash used of $16,618 for the year ended April 30, 2020. Our
financing activities for the year ending April 30, 2021 consisted of borrowing
$90,064 from a related party. Our financing activities for the year ending April
30, 2021
consisted of borrowing $123,382 from a related party, while paying
$140,000 in notes payable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



None



Going Concern


Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is relatively
new and has a short history and relatively few sales, no certainty of
continuation can be stated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared assuming that we
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
