NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A) Organization, Basis of Presentation and liquidity
Multi Solutions II, Inc.'s (the "Company") business purpose is 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 business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business, rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company's search for a business opportunity will not be limited to any particular geographical area or industry, including both domestic and international companies.
The Company does not have any revenues from operations and, absent a merger or other combination with an operating company, or a public or private sale of the Company's equity or debt securities, the occurrence of either of which cannot be assured, the Company will be dependent upon future loans or equity investments from the Company's present shareholders or management, for which there is no existing commitment except as disclosed in Note 2. Although the Company has no present commitment from any such parties to provide funding, except as disclosed in Note 2, if the Company reaches the point where the Company needs funds to remain in operation, the Company will attempt to raise funds from the Company's present shareholders or management in the form of equity or debt. If, in such situation, the Company is unable to raise funds from those parties, it is likely that the Company's business would cease operations. As disclosed in Note 2, the Company increased its borrowing capacity on the credit facility to $700,000 . As of April 30, 2023, the Company believes it has adequate cash and available borrowing capacity under the credit facility to sustain operations for the next twelve months from the issuance date of this report.
The unaudited interim condensed financial statements of the Company as of April 30, 2023 and for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim condensed financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at April 30, 2023, the results of its operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations and cash flows for such periods are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year or for any future period. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

(C) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(D) Cash Equivalents
(E) Loss Per Share
(F) New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Updates to be adopted in the future
Management does not believe that recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted,
would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
SEC Proposed Rules
On March 21, 2022, the SEC proposed rule changes that would require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The proposed rules would require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks would also include disclosure of a registrant's greenhouse gas emissions, which have become a commonly used metric to assess a registrant's exposure to such risks. In addition, under the proposed rules, certain climate-related financial metrics would be required in a registrant's audited financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the proposed rule changes.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Multi Solutions II, Inc.'s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 2023 and Notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2023, and our Condensed Financial Statements and the related Notes contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. All statements in the following discussion that are not reports of historical information or descriptions of current accounting policy are forward-looking statements. Please consider our forward-looking statements in light of the factors that may affect operating results set forth herein.
Overview
Our principal business objective for the next twelve months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business, rather than immediate, short-term earnings. Our search for a business opportunity will not be limited to any particular geographical area or industry, including both domestic and international companies.
We have negative shareholders' equity and have not earned any revenues from operations since 2005. However, we have issued an 11% revolving credit promissory note in favor of Vector Group Ltd. ("Vector") in the principal amount of up to $700,000, maturing in December 2025, as amended as of June 10, 2022, which we believe provides us with access to sufficient capital for the next twelve months from the issuance date of this report. We are currently devoting our efforts to locating merger candidates. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company, and ultimately, achieve profitable operations. Our historical operating results disclosed in this Form 10-Q are not meaningful to our future results.
We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. During the next twelve months we anticipate incurring costs associated with being a publicly traded company, including the filing of Exchange Act reports, and we could incur expenses and expenditures related to: (i) investigating and analyzing business combinations, and (ii) consummating an acquisition. We believe we will be able to finance these expenses and expenditures through amounts, as needed, to be lent by or invested in us by our shareholders, management or other investors.
We may consider acquiring a business which has recently commenced operations, a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, a company seeking to develop a new product or service or an established business that 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 that does not need substantial additional capital, but 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.
Our management has not had any meaningful discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a business combination with us. 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.
10
MULTI SOLUTIONS II, INC.
Our management anticipates that we will likely be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing and the dilution of interest for present and prospective shareholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management's plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
We anticipate 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 firms seeking 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.
In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise because our directors and officers also serve as the directors and officers of Multi Soft II, Inc., an entity under common control, each of our officers and directors has entered into an agreement with us and Multi Soft II, Inc. whereby they have each agreed that Multi Soft II, Inc. shall not analyze or consider any possible business combination opportunities until we have agreed to consummate a business combination.
If we consummate a business combination, we will use our best efforts to have our stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), and anticipate that our common stock will be eligible to trade on the OTCBB subsequent to such business combination. In addition, subsequent to such business combination, we may seek the listing of our common stock on any of the several NASDAQ markets or the NYSE American, either immediately after such business combination or sometime in the future. However, in 2011, the NASDAQ, NYSE, and NYSE American adopted a “seasoning” requirement for the listing of former reverse merger companies, which includes trading in another market for an adequate period of time at certain minimum price levels, with an adequate number of round lot shareholders and completing SEC filings during this time, although there is an exception to this requirement for firmly underwritten public offerings which generate net proceeds of at least $40 million. We may be unable to comply with seasoning requirements for listing prior to the listing deadline and we may be unable to qualify for the $40 million exception, which could adversely impact our ability to access U.S. stock exchanges. There can be no assurance that after we consummate a business combination we will be quoted on the OTCBB or be able to meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange or quotation service, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on any of those or any other stock exchange or quotation service. If an active trading market for our shares does not develop, the value and liquidity of our shares will be materially and adversely affected.

MULTI SOLUTIONS II, INC.
Comparison of Three Months Ended April 30, 2023 and 2022
Revenues. We did not generate revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 were $8,249 and $7,226, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, such expenses consisted primarily of professional fees associated with various matters associated with being a publicly traded corporation. These general and administrative expenses are subject to inflationary increases as well as changes in the regulatory environment and may increase in the future. In addition, if we effectuate a merger or other business combination with an operating business, we believe the level of expenses necessary to operate a publicly traded company will increase.
Other Expense. Other expense was $16,464 and $15,516 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other expense for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 related to interest expense on the outstanding balance of the 11% revolving credit facility due December 2025.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 was $24,713 and $22,742, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We do not have any revenues from operations and, absent a merger or other combination with an operating company, or a public or private sale of our equity or debt securities, the occurrence of either of which cannot be assured, we will be dependent upon future loans or equity investments from our present shareholders or management, for which there is no existing commitment. Although we have no present commitment from any such parties to provide funding aside from the credit facility, if we reach the point where we need funds to remain in operation, we will attempt to raise funds from our present shareholders or management in the form of equity or debt. If, in such situation, we are unable to raise funds from those parties, it is likely that our business would cease operations. As of April 30, 2023, we had a cash balance of $16,701, total liabilities of $1,076,543 and a positive working capital balance of approximately $8,400. We believe our available borrowing capacity under the credit facility provides us with sufficient capital for the next twelve months from the issuance date of this report.
In April 2012 we entered into an 11% revolving credit promissory note in favor of Vector in the principal amount of up to $700,000, maturing in December 2025, as amended as of June 10, 2022. The outstanding principal and interest owed to Vector as of April 30, 2023 was $1,068,226, which included principal of $617,800 and accrued interest of $450,426. We believe this revolving credit facility provides us with access to sufficient capital for the next twelve months from the issuance date of this filing. If we later determine that our capital reserves are insufficient, we will either cease operations or we will need to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional shares or through debt. There is no existing commitment to provide additional capital. In such situation, there can be no assurance that we shall be able to receive additional financing, and if we are unable to receive sufficient additional financing upon acceptable terms, it is likely that our business would cease operations.
Discussion of Cash Flows
For the three months ended April 30, 2023, net cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,519. Net cash used in operations was $15,481, compared to $15,272 for the three months ended April 30, 2022.
For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, no cash was provided by investing activities.
For the three months ended April 30, 2023,and 2022 cash provided by financing activities was $19,000 and $20,000, respectively, and was associated with borrowing under the revolving credit facility.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting estimates are described in more detail in Note 1 to our financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2023.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company as defined Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this section.

During the quarter covered by this report, we have not made any change to our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
