FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of AFH ACQUISITION IX, Inc. (the “Company”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

AFH Acquisition IX, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 18, 2007. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination and has made no efforts to identify a possible business combination. As a result, the Company has not conducted negotiations or entered into a letter of intent concerning any target business. The business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing company. The Company selected October 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company, based on proposed business activities, is a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.

The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Amir Farrokh Heshmatpour, the sole officer and director of the Company. As of this date the Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities for the Company. The Company has unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Company will consider the following kinds of factors:

(a)

Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;

(b)

Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

(c)

Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;

(d)

Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;

(e)

The cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;

(f)

The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;

(g)

The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and

(h)

Other relevant factors.

In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Company's limited capital available for investigation, the Company may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.

FORM OF ACQUISITION

The manner in which the Company participates in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such promoters.

It is likely that the Company will acquire its participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of common stock or other securities of the Company. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of the Company prior to such reorganization.

The sole stockholder of the Company will likely not have control of a majority of the voting securities of the Company following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, the Company's sole director may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.

In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable.

Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Company of the related costs incurred.

We presently have no employees apart from our management. Our sole officer and director is engaged in outside business activities and anticipate that he will devote to our business very limited time until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 2. Description of Property.

The Company neither rents nor owns any properties. The Company utilizes the office space and equipment of its management at no cost. Management estimates such amounts to be immaterial. The Company currently has no policy with respect to investments or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

To the best knowledge of our sole officer and director, the Company is not a party to any legal proceeding or litigation.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not Applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Common Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Common Stock is not listed on a publicly-traded market. As of ~~January~~October 2810, ~~2016~~2017, there was one holder of record of the Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Company has not yet issued any of its Preferred Stock.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s earnings, if any, its capital requirements and financial condition and such other factors as the Board of Directors may consider.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

The Company does not have any equity compensation plans or any individual compensation arrangements with respect to its Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The issuance of any of our common or preferred stock is within the discretion of our Board of Directors, which has the power to issue any or all of our authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the year ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

None.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

The Company currently does not engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. During the next twelve months we anticipate incurring costs related to:

(i) filing Exchange Act reports, and

(ii) investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition.

We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury, through deferral of fees by certain service providers and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.

The Company may consider acquiring a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.

Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.

The Company anticipates that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will have and/or the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had assets equal to $-0-. ~~This compares with assets of $-0-, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, as of October 31, 2014.~~ The Company’s current liabilities as of October 31, 2016 ~~2015~~ totaled $4654,~~630~~331, comprised of accrued expenses and monies due to parent. This compares with liabilities of $4246,~~816~~630, comprised of accrued expenses and monies due to parent, as of October 31, ~~2014~~2015. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the years ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015.

	Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2015			Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2014
			Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2016			Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2015
Net Cash (Used in) Operating Activities	$	~~(3,999)~~$	—	$	~~(5,957))~~$	—

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities	$	~~3,999~~$	—	$	~~5,957~~$	—
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	-$	—	$	-$	—

The Company has nominal assets and has generated no revenues since inception. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations.

Results of Operations

The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated by the Company from October 18, 2007 (Inception) to October 31, ~~2015~~2016. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of which there can be no assurance. It is management's assertion that these circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $7,701, consisting of legal, accounting, audit, other professional service fees and expenses incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $3,814, consisting of legal, accounting, audit, other professional service fees and expenses incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $6,351, consisting of legal, accounting, audit, other professional service fees and expenses incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

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

Evaluation of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The management of AFH Acquisition IX, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These internal controls include policies and procedures that:

•	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;

•	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

•	Provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

•	Provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that would have a material impact on financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

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

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was ~~effective~~ineffective as of October 31, ~~2015~~2016.

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

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, ~~2015~~2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Litigation with AFH Advisory and Amir F. Heshmatpour

Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.

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

Emerald Dairy, Inc.

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

Banner Bank Judgment

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

The lawsuits arise from three loans issued in the late 1990’s. The lender was Town Bank, a Washington State Bank which is no longer in existence, having been acquired by Banner Bank in the early 2000’s. The borrowers on the three separate loans ~~were~~ were H&H Holdings, Metrophone Telecom, and Amir ~~and Kathy~~ Heshmatpour. In the early 2000’s, the three loans were consolidated into one loan, shortly before Banner Bank acquired Town Bank. Once this acquisition occurred, the relationship between the borrowers and the successor lender soured, and a default was ultimately declared on the loans. Judgments were entered in the Superior Court for the State of Washington in 2003 and in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.

Banner Bank was awarded judgment in the Superior Court for the State of Washington in May 2003 in the amount of $11,073,409 with interest accruing at 12 percent per annum. In November 2003, Banner Bank was awarded a second, separate judgment in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in the amount of $429,863 with interest accruing at 6.875 percent per annum. Both judgments have been renewed and extended in the state and federal courts in Washington and valid until at least 2023. Mr. Heshmatpour contends that negotiated agreements were reached for payment of the outstanding loan balance, resulting in an agreement to pay approximately $11,000,000. Mr. Heshmatpour further contends that the agreements were satisfied, but that Banner Bank failed to properly account for the payments received.8

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of AFH Acquisition IX, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of AFH Acquisition IX, Inc. (“the Company”) as of October 31, 2016 and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with 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. An audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AFH Acquisition IX, Inc., as of October 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

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 Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - The Company

AFH Acquisition IX, Inc., ~~a development stage company~~ (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 18, 2007. The Company iswas 100% owned by AFH Holding & Advisory, LLC (the “Parent”). The financial statements presented represent only those transactions of AFH Acquisition IX, Inc. The Company is looking to acquire an existing company or acquire the technology to begin operations.

As a blank check company, the Company’s business is to pursue a business combination through acquisition, or merger with, an existing company. As of the date of the financial statements, the Company is not conducting negotiations with any target business.

Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts.

~~Note~~On 2August 30, 2017, the Company, the Parent and Enrochem Limited (“Enrochem”), through an arms- ~~Summary~~length ofnon-related ~~Significant~~third party ~~Accounting~~transaction, ~~Policies~~entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Parent agreed to sell its 100% ownership interest to Enrochem, which resulted in a change in control.

Note 2 - Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Method of Accounting

The Company maintains its books and prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.

Loss per Common Share

Loss per common share is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period

Use of Estimates

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

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, using the asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities. This method utilizes enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and gives immediate effect to changes in income tax rates upon enactment. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred assets and liability balances.

Financial Instruments

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

F-7

Recent Pronouncements

On June 10, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915). The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder’s equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this accounting standard during the current period.

F-6

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. The Company currently has no revenues and doesn’t expect any impact of adopting this guidance.

August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205-40)”, which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the adoption of this accounting standard to determine what material impacts it may have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

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

Note 34 - Equity Securities

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

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

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

As of October 31, ~~2015~~2016, there were no issued and outstanding preferred shares and 5,000,000 common shares were issued and outstanding to AFH Holding & Advisory LLC.

Note 45 - Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Note 67 - Related Parties

~~Litigation~~The following litigation with AFH Advisory and Amir F. Heshmatpour are disclosed due to AFH Advisory and Mr. Heshmatpour holding 100% of the outstanding shares of AFH Acquisition IX, Inc. as of October 31, 2016. Effective August 30, 2017, Mr. Heshmatpour had no ownership of the Company.

Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.

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