FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K of Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc., a Nevada corporation, contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expects”, “plans”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about our market opportunity, our strategies, competition, expected activities and expenditures as we pursue our business plan, and the adequacy of our available cash resources. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Actual results may differ materially from the predictions discussed in these forward-looking statements. The economic environment within which we operate could materially affect our actual results. Additional factors that could materially affect these forward-looking statements and/or predictions include, among other things: the volatility of minerals prices, the possibility that exploration efforts will not yield economically recoverable quantities of minerals, accidents and other risks associated with mineral exploration and development operations, the risk that the Company will encounter unanticipated geological factors, the Company’s need for and ability to obtain additional financing, the possibility that the Company may not be able to secure permitting and other governmental clearances necessary to carry out the Company’s exploration and development plans, other factors over which we have little or no control; and other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our management has included projections and estimates in this Form 10-K, which are based primarily on management’s experience in the industry, assessments of our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a review of information filed by our competitors with the SEC or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
All references in this Form 10-K to the “Company”, “Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc.”, “we”, “us,” or “our” are to Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Organization
On September 14, 2009, the Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Until the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we were engaged in the business of acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties. On April 17, 2018, under the laws of the State of Nevada, we changed our name from “Lash, Inc.” to “Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc.” On October 19, 2016, under the laws of the State of Nevada, we changed our name from “Cassidy Ventures Inc.” to “Lash, Inc.”
Amber Joy Finney has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and sole director since September 28, 2016. Ms. Finney is also the holder of 2,271,429 shares of our common stock, amounting to 51.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. William Drury has served as our Secretary since February 19, 2013.
William Drury also served as our Treasurer and sole director from February 19, 2013, until September 28, 2016. Mr. Drury also served as our President from July 31, 2015 until September 28, 2016.
As of June 30, 2022, we were authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.
Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement raising substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our Business – and Immediate Need for Financing
On July 15, 2021, we acquired the assets of Paleo Scavenger, LLC for $10,000. Paleo owns the Within / Without Granola (“WWG”) brand. The purchase price includes the WWG trademarks, brands, books, records, intellectual property, commercial sales channel, customer lists and manufacturing rights. Early in 2021, WWG ceased operations and we restarted the manufacturing process in June 2022.
We generated our first sales since inception during August 2022 of approximately $600. We are currently selling our granola products on Shopify. In addition, we are in the process of qualifying to sell our products on Amazon.
We must raise at least $100,000 to commence our plan of operation, described above, and fund our ongoing operational expenses. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing is not available, we may be unable to continue our operations. Management believes that if we are successful in raising $100,000, we will be able to generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, if such financing is not available, we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will be able to generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
If we are unsuccessful in raising at least $100,000 through a private placement, we will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be highly difficult for a new, development stage business to obtain. Therefore, the Company is highly dependent upon the success of an anticipated private placement offering and failure thereof would result in the Company having to seek capital from other sources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the Company. However, if such financing were available, because we are a development stage company with little in the way of operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high-risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. If and when these funds are obtained, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If we cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of our common stock or secure debt financing, we would be required to cease business operations and as a result, investors in our common stock would lose all of their investment.

CASH FLOWS
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our company obtaining additional capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we could be forced to significantly curtail or cease operations.
We have only realized nominal revenues from our business. In the next 12 months, we plan to identify business to whom we can license and/or distribute our brand and product(s) as well as seek additional opportunities to continue as a going concern.
COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported in China. Since then, the COVID-19 has spread globally including across North America and the United States. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a “pandemic,” or a worldwide spread of a new disease, on March 11, 2020.
Specifically, we caution that our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the outbreak of COVID-19. To date, COVID has directly impacted the ability we have to participate in trade show events and other in-person marketing. Although retailers which may carry our products may be considered essential businesses and therefore be allowed to remain operational, they may experience significantly reduced demand. The risk of a pandemic, or public perception of the risk, could cause customers to avoid public places, including retail properties, and could cause temporary or long-term disruptions in our supply chains and/or delays in the delivery of our inventory to our customers. Further, such risks could also adversely affect retail customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending on our products, which are marketed as premium products. “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities could also disrupt our operations, if our employees or the employees of our sourcing partners who cannot perform their responsibilities from home, are not able to report to work. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our co-packing facilities or operations of our sourcing partners.
CRITICAL ACCOUTNING POLICIES
Please refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview. We had no revenues for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There was a net loss of $(38,537) for the year ended June 30, 2022 and net income of $15,344 after a return to the Company of $25,080 in stock-based compensation and a gain of $12,350 from extinguishment of debt. The $53,881 increase in net loss is attributable to the factors discussed below.
Revenues. We generated no revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Expenses. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, we incurred total operating expenses of 30,297 and $(3,408). The increase of 33,705 was primarily a result $25,990 increase in stock-based compensation from a return to the Company of stock-based compensation of $(25,080) during the year ended June 30, 2021, an increase in professional fees of $3,581, an increase in amortization expense of $2,875 from our July 15, 2021 of the Within / Without Granola brand and an increase of $1,259 of general and administrative expenses .
Other Income (Expense). Our total other income (expense) was $(8,240) and $11,936 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease of $20,176 was attributable to a gain of $12,350 from debt extinguishment for the year ended June 30, 2021 and an inventory impairment charge of $8,225 during the year ended June 30, 2022, offset by a $399 decrease in other expense related to the change in market value of shares issued to Mr. Drury but not yet sold (See Note 3 – Related Party Transaction in the accompanying notes to the financial statements).

GOING CONCERN
Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc. currently has limited operations. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc. which includes a statement raising substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash balance was $13,555 and working capital was $(226,408) at June 30, 2022. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to be approximately $100,000. If we experience a shortage of funds prior to generating revenues from operations we may utilize funds from our directors, who have informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for operating costs, however they have no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to us. Management believes our current cash balance will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
As at June 30, 2022, our total assets were $28,904 were comprised of cash for $13,555, $8,224 for inventory, intellectual property of $6,125 (net of accumulated amortization) and trademarks for $1,000. The intellectual property and trademarks resulted from our July 15, 2021 acquisition of the Within / Without Granola brand.
As at June 30, 2022, our current liabilities of $248,187 were comprised of account payable of $45,685, accrued liabilities for $48,286 and related party loans of $154,216. As at June 30, 2022, our stockholders’ deficiency was $(219,283).
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. Net cash used in operations was $(29,065) and $(14,508) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash flows used by investing activities was $10,000 and $-0-, respectively, from our asset purchase of Within / Without Granola on July 15, 2021.

| Table of Contents |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash flows provided by financing activities was $51,719 and $10,000, respectively from related party cash advances.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our plan of operation for the following twelve months is as follows:
On July 15, 2021, we acquired the assets of Paleo Scavenger, LLC for $10,000. Paleo owns the Within / Without Granola (“WWG”) brand. The purchase price includes the WWG trademarks, brands, books, records, intellectual property, commercial sales channel, customer lists and manufacturing rights. Early in 2021, WWG ceased operations and we restarted the manufacturing process in June 2022.
We generated our first sales since inception during August 2022 of approximately $600. We are currently selling our granola products on Shopify. In addition, we are in the process of qualifying to sell our products on Amazon.
We must raise at least $100,000 to commence our plan of operation, described above, and fund our ongoing operational expenses. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing is not available, we may be unable to continue our operations. Management believes that if we are successful in raising $100,000, we will be able to generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, if such financing is not available, we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will be able to generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
If we are unsuccessful in raising at least $100,000 through a private placement, we will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be highly difficult for a new, development stage business to obtain. Therefore, the Company is highly dependent upon the success of an anticipated private placement offering and failure thereof would result in the Company having to seek capital from other sources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the Company. However, if such financing were available, because we are a development stage company with little in the way of operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high-risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. If and when these funds are obtained, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If we cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of our common stock or secure debt financing, we would be required to cease business operations and as a result, investors in our common stock would lose all of their investment.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Index to the Financial Statements

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc. as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Artisan Consumer Group, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2022 and 2021
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Artisan Consumer Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 14, 2009, and its year-end is June 30. The Company’s principle executive office address is 999 N Northlake Way Ste 203, Seattle, Washington 98103-3442.
The Company had previously acquired mineral properties located in the Thunder Bay mining district, Province of Ontario, Canada but never determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. As of June 30, 2015, the Company ceased our exploration operations in the Thunder Bay mining district due to a lack of funds. As of September 30, 2018, the Company ceased pursing all mining exploration.
The Company is currently working on restarting the Within / Without Granola (“WWG”) brand, which was acquired on July 15, 2021 form Paleo Scavenger, LLC for $
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company provides estimates for its common stock valuations and valuation allowances for deferred taxes.
Cash Flow Reporting
The Company follows ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.
| F-6 |
| Table of Contents |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022.
The Company maintains its cash balance at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (FIFO: first-in, first-out) or market. The cost of inventory includes the cost of raw materials and freight. At March 31, 2021, the Company wrote-off the inventory as spoiled for $
Basic Earnings (loss) per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock.
Basic net earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.
Share Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718 and No. 505. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period. Stock based compensation amounted to $

Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 were effective January 1, 2008.
As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observations of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be adjusted on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Income Taxes
The Company’s policy is to provide for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) legislation reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from
The Company intends to file income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. The tax years for 2015 to 2021 remain open for examination by federal and/or state tax jurisdictions. The Company is currently not under examination by any other tax jurisdictions for any tax year.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offering.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIION AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

As of June 30, 2022, there are 500,000,000 shares of common stock at par value of $
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company’s policy is to provide for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carryforwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carryforward period.

The Company is not aware of any uncertain tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 or during the prior three years applicable under FASB ASC 740. We did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the balance sheet. All tax returns for the Company remain open for examination.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences for the periods presented are as follows:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022.
MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As of June 30, 2022, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive officer and the principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s 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 GAAP in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement. |
In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, completed only by Amber Joy Finney, our President and Chief Officer, Treasurer and sole director, who also serves as our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, Ms. Finney concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.
This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iii) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President and Chief Executive Officer, and sole Director, who also serves as our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, in connection with the review of our financial statements as of June 30, 2022.
Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

At VRex, Mr. Drury designed, constructed, and staffed one of the first full time true 3D stereoscopic production facilities in the world, creating content for clients, such as, the United States Army, Merck, Merrill Lynch, and Pfizer. At VRex Mr. Drury’s work was instrumental in the sale of VRex to the Malaysian Government for inclusion in their Cyber Jaya Technology Park. Mr. Drury holds degrees from Boston University and Baruch College. Mr. Drury is also member of the boards of directors of Quantum Genomics Corporation, ICN Corporation and Global Oxygen Development Corp.
TERM OF OFFICE
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, which director does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his or her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past five years.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
Other than our officers and directors, we currently have no other significant employees.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early exploration stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company has not adopted a code of ethics because it has only commenced operations.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following tables set forth certain information about compensation paid, earned or accrued for services by our President and all other executive officers (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”) in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest.
