PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
The Company
Awaysis Capital, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a real estate investment and management company focused on acquisition, construction, selling and managing rentals of residential vacation home communities in desirable travel destinations. We seek to create value through the targeting and acquisition, development, and up-cycling, rebranding, and repositioning of currently undervalued operating and shovel ready residential/resort communities in global travel destinations, with the intention to relaunch these assets under the “Awaysis” brand with the goals of creating a network of residential and resort enclave communities that will optimize both sales and rental revenues, providing attractive returns to owners and exceptional vacation experiences to travelers. At least initially, our target acquisitions are resorts that have not been completed nor have a prior operational history. As such we intend to purchase the real estate and finish the development, then we would sell the finished units and put them in a rental pool.
The Company seeks to own and grow a stable, cash generating, diversified portfolio of single-family and luxury resort/residence properties in the Caribbean, Europe, South America, and the United States.
Our business strategy entails targeting and identifying undervalued assets in emerging markets located in proximity to high demand travel destinations. The Company intends to focus these efforts on shovel-ready properties and/or other assets that we believe can be used to optimize sales and rental revenues. We have currently identified five properties in Belize, all of which are expected to constitute our initial real estate portfolio. To that effect, on June 30, 2022, we closed on the acquisition of certain real estate assets in San Pedro, Belize (the “Casamora Awaysis Assets”), pursuant to our previously announced series of Agreements of Purchase and Sale, all dated April 15, 2022. The total consideration paid by us for the properties subject to the agreements was at the appraisal value of $11.4 million (excluding transaction costs and fees) and was settled in a combination of a Purchase Money Mortgage of $2.6 million at 0% interest rate, payable on demand, a Purchase Money Mortgage of $280,000 at 0% interest rate that was paid on August 8, 2022 and 56.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock based on a per share price equal to the market price on the date of appraisal of $0.150. As the first acquisition by the Company in Belize and an important milestone, the Company expects to rebrand the Casamora Awaysis Asset, so it is easily identifiable as an Awaysis Property and fit perfectly with its strategy of creating a countrywide network of Awaysis residential enclave communities in the country.
The Casamora Awaysis Assets are as follows:
| ● | A rectangular shaped parcel with 100.0 feet of street frontage containing a 9,100 sq. ft. two story reinforced concrete building, with 2,173 sq. ft. of basement, a 1,600 sq. ft. porch/deck and a 3,062 sq. ft. terrace. The plan for this building is to have: (a) on the ground floor, a state-of-the-art fitness facility and wellness spa; (b) on the second floor, an executive conference center, a yoga/pilates studio with individual massage rooms associated with a planned wellness spa, and access to the porch/deck; and (c) on the third floor, a members-only roof-top patio and lounge. |

There is a further open-air patio situated above the covered patio of the penthouse which provides sweeping views of the ocean as well as sunset views over the lagoon side. |
History
The Company was formed in Delaware on September 29, 2008, under the name ASPI, Inc (“ASPI”).
On April 25, 2012, ASPI filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from ASPI, Inc. to JV Group, Inc. and to increase the number of its authorized common shares from One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares to One Billion (1,000,000,000) shares.
From its formation on September 28, 2008, through September 7, 2011, the Company was a publicly quoted shell company seeking to merge with an entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of common stock to create value for the Company’s shareholders.
From September 8, 2011, through October 2015, through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Prestige Prime Office, Limited (“Prestige”), a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Corporation, the Company operated as a serviced office provider in the Far East. Prestige ceased serviced office provider operations in October 2015, and effective September 30, 2017, the Company disposed of Prestige and its assets and liabilities.
The Company also formed a second wholly owned subsidiary, Mega Action Ltd., a British Virgin Island corporation, which never conducted any business activities, and effective September 30, 2017, the Company disposed of such company.
As of November 23, 2021, Michael A. Littman ATTY, Defined Benefit Plan, MAL as trustee, an affiliate of Michael A. Littman, the then secretary and a director of the Company and the owner of 98,108,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing approximately 99.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, sold 98,008,000 shares to Harthorne Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Harthorne”), for aggregate consideration of $500,000, or approximately $0.0051 per share. This transaction was deemed a change of control, and effective as of November 23, 2021, (a) Calvin D. Smiley, Sr., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, resigned from all officer and employment positions with the Company and its subsidiaries, (b) Michael A. Littman resigned from all officer and employment positions with the Company and its subsidiaries, (c) Michael Singh was appointed Chief Executive Officer, (d) Andrew Trumbach was appointed President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer and (e) Lisa Marie Iannitelli was appointed Executive Vice President, Director-Investor Relations.
| 5 |
Contemporaneously, the size of the Board of Directors of the Company was increased from three directors to six directors. Michael Singh was appointed as Chairman of the Board and Andrew Trumbach and Lisa Marie Iannitelli were each appointed as a director, filling the vacancies on the Board resulting from the increase to the size of the Board.
Effective as of January 7, 2022, Messrs. Littman, Smiley and Green each resigned as directors of the Company. Subsequently, Tyler A Trumbach, Claude Stuart and Narendra Kini were appointed to the Board to fill the vacancies resulting from such January 7, 2022 resignations.
In February 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company determined to pursue a business strategy of acquiring, developing, and managing residential vacation home communities in desirable travel destinations.
On May 18, 2022, we changed our name from JV Group, Inc. to Awaysis Capital, Inc. In connection with this name change, we changed our ticker symbol from “ASZP” to “AWCA” and effective May 25, 2022, we began trading on the OTC Market under our new symbol.
Our Planned Business
Our planned business is expected to include real estate development and sales, hospitality rentals, resort operations and club management. Revenues are expected to come from:
| ● | selling our own developed resort inventory that includes Condominiums, Single Family Homes, and Villas. | |
| ● | providing management services to our branded resorts under HOA management agreements; and | |
| ● | manage short-term unit rentals of sold and unsold inventory at the resorts we own or manage. |
The Casamora Awaysis development, our first property, is expected to commence sales and hospitality operations on or about November 1, 2022.
Inventory and Development Activities
We intend to acquire real estate assets to develop into resorts, starting in Belize and then expand into other resort markets as funds allow, including building additional phases at existing resorts, including re-acquiring inventory from owners in default and in the open market and sourcing other real estate assets from third parties.
Our development activities involving the acquisition of real estate are expected to be followed by construction or renovation to create integrated resorts under the “Awaysis” banner and brand. These development activities, and the related management of construction activities, are expected to be performed by us as developers and under a cost plus construction contract with R&R Construction Company Limited or other construction companies. The development and construction of the resorts require a large upfront investment of capital and can take several years to complete in the case of a ground-up or partially completed project.
Marketing and Sales Activities
Our planned marketing and sales activities are expected to be based on targeted direct marketing and a highly personalized sales approach. We intend to use targeted direct marketing to reach potential purchasers of units or sell through a licensed distribution network of both in-market and off-site sales centers. Our products are expected to be marketed for sale or rent globally.
Resort Management Activities
Resort Management
For each resort property we acquire and develop, we intend for our management company subsidiary to enter into a management agreement. The management company is expected to ensure that the resorts are well-maintained and financially stable, and the services provided are expected to include day-to-day operations of the resort, maintenance of the resort, preparation of reports, budgets and projections and employee training and oversight. The management agreements are expected to provide for a cost-plus management fee, which means we would generally earn a fee over and above the cost to operate the applicable resort. As a result, the management fees we expect to earn would be predictable, unlike traditional revenue-based hotel management fees, and our management fees generally would be unaffected by changes in rental rate or occupancy. We also expect to be reimbursed for the costs incurred to perform our management services, principally related to personnel providing on-site services.
| 6 |
Rental of Available Inventory
We intend to rent unsold inventory at our resorts as well as to rent inventory that is sold on behalf of the owners. By using our websites and other direct booking channels to rent available inventory, we intend to be able to reach potential new customers and introduce them to our resorts. Inventory rentals would allow us to utilize otherwise unoccupied inventory to generate additional revenues and provision of ancillary services. We expect that we will earn a fee from rentals of third-party inventory. Additionally, we intend to provide ancillary offerings including food and beverage, retail, and spa offerings at our planned resorts.
Competition
The resort and hotel industry are highly competitive and comprised of several national and regional companies that develop, finance and operate resorts and hotels.
Our planned business will compete with other entities engaged in the leisure and vacation industry, including resorts, hotels, cruises, and other accommodation alternatives, such as condominium and single-family home rentals. We also intend to compete with home and apartment sharing services that operate websites that market available privately-owned residential properties that can be rented on a nightly, weekly, or monthly basis. In certain markets, we may compete with timeshare operators, and it is possible that other potential competitors may develop properties near our resort locations once acquired, developed, and marketed.
Our planned business will compete with the virtually thousands of other hotels, resorts and timeshare operators vying for vacation travelers, in all cases based principally on location, quality of accommodations, price, service levels and amenities, financing terms, quality of service, terms of property use, reservation systems, flexibility, as well as brand name recognition and reputation. We also compete for property acquisitions and partnerships with entities that have similar investment and development objectives to us.
We believe that, in the competitive industry in which we intend to operate, trademarks, service marks, trade names and logos are very important to the marketing and sales of products. While we have trademarked the name and logo “Awaysis”, which we believe is compelling, it is a new brand and there are many other trademarks, service marks, trade names and logos that have much greater brand identification.
There is also significant competition for talent at all levels within the industry, especially in sales and management.
Seasonality and Cyclicality
We expect to experience seasonality in the rental segment of our planned business, with stronger revenue generation during traditional vacation periods for those expected locations. Our business of selling units may be moderately cyclical as the demand for vacation units for sale is affected by the availability and cost of financing for purchasers, as well as general economic conditions and the relative health of the travel industry. We intend to offer owner financing up to 50% of the price of the units.
Government Regulation
Our proposed business is subject to various international, national, federal, state, and local laws, regulations and policies in jurisdictions in which we intend to operate. Some laws, regulations and policies would impact multiple areas of our business, such as securities, anti-discrimination, anti-fraud, data protection and security and anti-corruption and bribery laws and regulations or government economic sanctions, including applicable regulations under the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). The FCPA and similar anti-corruption and bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or generating business. Other laws, regulations and policies primarily affect one of our areas of business: real estate development activities; marketing and sales activities; financial services activities; and resort management activities. We will continue to be subject to applicable new legislation, rules and regulations that have been proposed, or may be proposed, by federal, state and local authorities relating to the origination, servicing and securitization of mortgage loans.
Real Estate Development Regulation
Our planned real estate development activities are regulated under a number of different statutes in the jurisdictions we intend to operate, including Belize. We would generally be subject to laws and regulations typically applicable to real estate development, subdivision, and construction activities, such as laws relating to zoning, land use restrictions, environmental regulation, accessibility, title transfers, title insurance and taxation. In Belize, these include the equivalent to the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Accessibility Guidelines promulgated thereunder. In addition, we may be subject to laws in some jurisdictions that impose liability on property developers for construction defects discovered or repairs made by future owners of property developed by the developer.
| 7 |
Marketing and Sales Regulation
Our marketing and sales activities are expected to be highly regulated. A wide variety of laws and regulations govern our marketing and sales activities, including regulations implementing the USA PATRIOT Act, Foreign Investment In Real Property Tax Act, the Federal Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act and fair housing statutes, U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and state “Little FTC Act” and other regulations governing unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices including unfair or deceptive trade practices and unfair competition, state attorney general regulations, anti-fraud laws, prize, gift and sweepstakes laws, real estate, title agency or insurance and other licensing or registration laws and regulations, anti-money laundering, consumer information privacy and security, breach notification, information sharing and telemarketing laws, home solicitation sales laws, tour operator laws, lodging certificate and seller of travel laws and other consumer protection laws.
We expect that we must obtain the approval of numerous governmental authorities for our planned marketing and sales activities. Changes in circumstances or applicable law may necessitate the application for or modification of existing approvals.
Resort Management Regulation
Our planned resort management activities are expected to be subject to laws and regulations regarding community association management, public lodging, food and beverage services, liquor licensing, labor, employment, health care, health and safety, accessibility, discrimination, immigration, gaming, and the environment (including climate change).
Environmental Matters
We expect to be subject to certain requirements and potential liabilities under various U.S. federal, state and local and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and incur costs in complying with such requirements. These laws and regulations govern actions including air emissions, the use, storage and disposal of hazardous and toxic substances, and wastewater disposal. In addition to investigation and remediation liabilities that could arise under such laws, we may also face personal injury, property damage, fines, or other claims by third parties concerning environmental compliance or contamination. We expect to use and store hazardous and toxic substances, such as cleaning materials, pool chemicals, heating oil and fuel for back-up generators at some of our planned facilities, and we expect to generate certain wastes in connection with our planned operations. We may, from time to time, be responsible for investigating and remediating contamination at some of our developed facilities, such as contamination that has been discovered when we have removed underground storage tanks, and we could be held responsible for any contamination resulting from the disposal of wastes that we generate, including at locations where such wastes have been sent for disposal. In some cases, we may be entitled to indemnification from the party that caused the contamination pursuant to our management, construction, or renovation agreements, but there can be no assurance that we would be able to recover all or any costs we incur in addressing such problems. From time to time, we may also be required to manage, abate, remove, or contain mold, lead, asbestos-containing materials, radon gas or other hazardous conditions found in or on our planned properties.
Human Capital
Currently, we have no employees other than our officers and directors. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we intend to adopt some or all of such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any officers, directors, or employees.

Risk Factors
We are a development stage company with a limited operating history, making it difficult for you to evaluate our business and your investment.
Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including but not limited to the absence of an operating history, lack of fully-developed or commercialized properties, insufficient capital, limited assets, expected substantial and continual losses for the foreseeable future, limited experience in dealing with regulatory issues, lack of marketing experience, need to rely on third parties for the development and commercialization of our proposed properties, a competitive environment characterized by well-established and well-capitalized competitors and reliance on key personnel.
We may not be successful in carrying out our business objectives. The revenue and income potential of our business and operations are unproven as the lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate the future prospects of our business. There is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably. Accordingly, we have no track record of successful business activities, strategic decision-making by management, fund-raising ability, and other factors that would allow an investor to assess the likelihood that we will be successful in our business. There is a substantial risk that we will not be successful in fully implementing our business plan, or if initially successful, in thereafter generating material operating revenues or in achieving profitable operations.
Since inception of our new business model, we have not established any material and recurring revenues or operations that will provide financial stability in the long term, and there can be no assurance that we will realize our plans on our projected timetable (or at all) in order to reach sustainable or profitable operations.
Investors are subject to all the risks incident to the creation and development of a new business and each investor should be prepared to withstand a complete loss of his, her or its investment. Furthermore, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have not emerged from the development stage and may be unable to raise further equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Even if we successfully develop and market our business plan, we may not generate sufficient or sustainable revenue to achieve or sustain profitability, which could cause us to cease operations and cause you to lose all of your investment. Because we are subject to these risks, you may have a difficult time evaluating our business and your investment in our Company.
We may never become profitable.
To become profitable, we must successfully implement our proposed business plan and strategies, either alone or in on conjunction with possible collaborators. We may never have any significant recurring revenues or become profitable.
We are dependent on management.
Our business is and will continue to be significantly dependent on our management team. The loss of any member of our management team could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
The expansion of our operations can have a significant impact on our profitability.
We intend on expanding our business through the acquisition, development, and maintenance of real estate assets. Any expansion of operations that we may undertake will entail risks, such actions may involve specific operational activities which may negatively impact our profitability. Consequently, investors must assume the risk that (i) such expansion may ultimately involve expenditures of funds beyond the resources available to us at that time, and (ii) management of such expanded operations may divert management’s attention and resources away from our existing operations, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our present and prospective business activities.
| 10 |
Our financial success is dependent on general economic conditions.
Our financial success may be sensitive to adverse changes in general economic conditions in the United States, Belize and any other jurisdiction in which our assets are located, such as recession, inflation, unemployment, geopolitical situations, and interest rates. Such changing conditions could reduce demand in the marketplace for our planned real estate portfolio. We have no control over these changes.
Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuations.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of a variety of factors, including purchasing patterns of customers, competitive pricing, debt service and principal reduction payments, and general economic conditions. Consequently, our revenues may vary by quarter, and our operating results may experience fluctuations.
Our proposed objectives are capital intensive and subject to change.
Our proposed business plans may change. Many of our potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. Management reserves the right, at any time, to make significant modifications to the Company’s stated strategies depending on future events.
There is a limited trading market for our common stock, which could make it difficult for you to liquidate an investment in our common stock, in a timely manner.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Pink market. Because there is a limited public market for our common stock, you may not be able to liquidate your investment when you want. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common stock will ever develop. There is limited trading in our common stock, and we cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will ever develop. The lack of an active public trading market means that you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you want, thereby increasing your market risk. Until our common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, which we can provide no assurance, we expect that it will continue to be listed on the OTC Pink market. An investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common stock and the trading of our common stock may be extremely sporadic. For example, several days may pass before any shares may be traded. A more active market for our common stock may never develop. In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling the common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.
Our success will depend upon the acquisition of real estate, and we may be unable to consummate acquisitions or dispositions on advantageous terms, the acquired properties may not perform as expected, or we may be unable to efficiently integrate assets into our existing operations.
We intend to acquire, maintain, sell, and rent real estate assets. The acquisition of real estate entails various risks, including the risks that our real estate assets may not perform as expected, that we may be unable to integrate assets quickly and efficiently into our existing operations and that the cost estimates for the development or sale price of a property may prove inaccurate.
Investors are reliant on management’s assessment, selection, and development of appropriate properties.
Our ability to achieve our current objectives is dependent upon the performance of our management team in the quality and timeliness of our acquisition and development of real estate properties. Investors have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our assets. Investors must rely entirely on the decisions of the management team and the oversight of our principals.
We face significant competition that may increase costs.
We will experience significant competition from other sellers of real estate and other real estate projects. Competition may have the effect of increasing our acquisition costs, making it more difficult to identify and close on the acquisition of desirable real estate properties, and decrease the sales price or lease rates of developed assets.
| 11 |
Our profitability may be impacted by delays in the selection, acquisition, and development of properties.
We may encounter delays in the selection, acquisition and development of properties that could adversely affect our profitability. We may experience delays in identifying properties that satisfy ideal purchase parameters.
Our management maintains full discretion in the future disposition of properties.
We cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate assets which will exist at any particular time in the future. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions which may affect the future disposition of our properties, we cannot assure shareholders that we will be able to sell our properties at a profit in the future. Accordingly, the timing of liquidation of our real estate assets will be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions.
Our properties may be subject to environmental laws and regulations that have the potential to impose liability.
Under various local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of non-compliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of its properties, we may be potentially liable for such costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability, complying with environmental regulatory requirements or remediation of any contaminated property could have a materially adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related events, including the various measures implemented or adopted to respond to the pandemic and the global economic downturn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The global COVID-19 pandemic and the various measures taken or implemented by governments and other authorities in the United States and around the world, businesses, organizations, and individuals have had, and will likely continue to have, an impact on domestic and international travel, consumer demand for travel, commercial activities across the travel, lodging and hospitality industries, businesses generally, and consequently, on our business and operations.
The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic over the longer term remain uncertain and dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of COVID-19, the introduction and spread of new variants of the virus that may be resistant to currently approved vaccines and the continuation of existing or implementation of new government travel restrictions, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions taken, including mobility restrictions, the timing, availability, and effectiveness of vaccines, and the impact of these and other factors on travel behavior in general, and on our business in particular, which may result in a lower sales demand for units, reduction in bookings and an increase in booking cancellations as well as an increase in material prices due to the increase in logistic cost.
As we look forward, we recognize the challenging macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, depressed consumer spending and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. To date, these conditions other than the increase in construction costs, have not had a material impact on our business demand, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition; however, the impact in the future of these macroeconomic events on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition is uncertain and will depend on future developments that we may not be able to accurately predict.
Real estate is not as liquid as other types of assets, which may reduce economic returns to investors.
Real estate assets are not as liquid as other types of investments, and this lack of liquidity may limit our ability to react promptly to changes in economic, financial, investment or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with real estate investments, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investments. Thus, our ability at any time to sell assets or contribute assets to property funds or other entities in which we maintain an ownership interest may be restricted. This lack of liquidity may limit the ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic, financial, investment or other conditions and, as a result, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
| 12 |
We may be unable to sell a property if or when it decides to do so, including as a result of uncertain market conditions, which could adversely affect the return on an investment in our Company.
Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors, some of which are beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of the properties acquired. We cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments which will exist at any particular time in the future. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions, which may affect the future disposition of the properties acquired, we cannot assure our shareholders that we will be able to sell such properties at a profit in the future. Accordingly, the extent to which our shareholders will receive cash dividends and realize potential appreciation on real estate investments will be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions. Furthermore, we may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. Funds may not be available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. In acquiring a property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These provisions would restrict our ability to sell a property.
We may not succeed in creating a portfolio enclave strategy.
The acquisition of assets is critical to our ability to enter new emerging markets and build local market density. This strategy will contribute to our ability to grow sales and rental revenues and increase profitability over time. In order to build on this concept of creating vacation-remote work enclave communities, we must be able to identify and maintain a pipeline of locally managed vacation homes and condominiums in new and emerging markets. We have been able to find existing shovel ready resorts and vacation properties by giving developers and owners an exit strategy and providing market and developmental expertise to reposition the acquired assets to maximize revenues, but that may not continue. Our ability to maintain this momentum depends on our ability to provide a unique travel experience to both owners and guests and to be able to consistently generate income to the residence owners. Our ability to provide this level of income and expectations are likely to be partially dependent on the labor cost of our local markets and our ability to hire teams for a diversity of roles at a reasonable cost given the constraints of each particular local market environment.
Our properties may be subject to liabilities or other problems.
We intend to perform certain due diligence for each property or other real estate related asset that we acquire. We will also seek to obtain appropriate representations and indemnities from sellers with respect to such properties or other investments. We may, nevertheless, acquire properties or other investments that are subject to uninsured liabilities or that otherwise have problems. In some instances, we may have only limited or perhaps even no recourse for any such liabilities or other problems or, if we received indemnification from a seller, the resources of such seller may not be adequate to fulfill its indemnity obligation. As a result, we could be required to resolve or cure any such liability or other problems, and such payment could have an adverse effect on our cash flow available to meet other expenses or to make dividend payments to shareholders.
The failure to successfully execute and integrate strategic acquisitions that support our long-term strategies could adversely affect our growth rate and consequently our revenues and results of operations.
We expect to acquire multiple properties at any given time. If we are not able to consummate these strategic acquisitions, it could negatively impact our growth rate, revenue results, results of operations and the trading prices of our common stock. Furthermore, strategic acquisitions and other strategic transactions and relationships involve a number of financial, accounting, operational, legal, compliance and other risks and challenges, any of which could negatively affect our growth rate revenue results, results of operations and the trading price of our common stock and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
There are significant risks associated with “value-add” and properties in need of re-positioning.
Our targeting of financially distressed properties (and, in some cases, raw land) may result in properties which are partially leased or completely vacant and thus not generating positive cash flow (or any cash flow). Similarly, under-performing and value-add properties that we are targeting may experience unanticipated delays in, or increases of the cost to improve or reposition those properties that may be beyond our control. There is no assurance we will be successful in stabilizing such properties given the significant number of factors beyond our control, including general or local economic conditions and local market demand that may come into play. These types of properties may pose greater investment risk than fully stabilized properties.
Uninsured losses relating to real property may adversely affect our performance.
We will attempt to ensure that all of its properties are comprehensively insured (including liability, fire, storm and extended coverage) in amounts sufficient to permit replacement in the event of a total loss, subject to applicable deductibles. However, in the event such insurance is not sufficient, or if we do not have a sufficient external source of funding to repair or reconstruct a damaged property our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future.
| 13 |
Competition for investments may increase costs and reduce returns.
We will experience competition for real property investments from individuals, corporations, banks, and insurance company investment accounts, as well as other real estate limited partnerships, real estate investment funds, commercial developers, pension plans, other institutional and foreign investors and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities. We will compete against other potential purchasers of properties of high-quality commercial properties leased to credit-worthy tenants and residential properties and, as a result of the weakened world economy, there is greater competition for the properties of the type in which we will invest. Some of these competing entities may have greater financial and other resources allowing them to compete more effectively. This competition may result in us paying higher prices to acquire properties than it otherwise would, or we may be unable to acquire properties that we believe meet our investment objectives and are otherwise desirable investments.
In addition, our properties may be located close to properties that are owned by other real estate investors and that compete with us for tenants. These competing properties may be better located and more suitable for desirable tenants than our properties, resulting in a competitive advantage for these other properties. We may face similar competition from other properties that may be developed in the future. This competition may limit our ability to lease space, increase its costs of securing tenants, and limit our ability to charge rents and/or require us to make capital improvements we otherwise might not make to our properties. As a result, we may suffer reduced cash flow with a decrease in share price and/or the ability to provide dividends.
Environmental regulations and issues, certain of which we may have no control over, may adversely impact our business.
Federal, state, and local laws and regulations impose environmental controls, disclosure rules and zoning restrictions which directly impact the management, development, use, and/or sale of real estate. Such laws and regulations tend to discourage sales and leasing activities and mortgage lending with respect to some properties, and may therefore adversely affect us specifically, and the real estate industry in general. Failure to uncover and adequately protect against environmental issues in connection with a portfolio investment may subject us to liability as the buyer of such property or asset. Environmental laws and regulations impose liability on current or previous real property owners or operators for the cost of investigating, cleaning up or removing contamination caused by hazardous or toxic substances at the property.
We may be held liable for such costs as a subsequent owner and developer of such property. Liability can be imposed even if the original actions were legal, and we had no knowledge of the presence of hazardous or toxic substances.
We may also be held responsible for the entire payment of the liability if we are subject to joint and several liabilities and the other responsible parties are unable to pay. Further, we may be liable under common law to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the site, including the presence of asbestos containing materials. Insurance for such matters may not be available. Additionally, new or modified environmental regulations could develop in a manner which could adversely affect us.
Real estate may develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergies or other reactions.
As a result, the presence of significant mold at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected property. In addition, the presence of significant mold could expose us to liability from its tenants, employees of such tenants and others if property damage or health concerns arise.
Terrorist attacks or other acts of violence or war may adversely affect our industry, operations, and profitability.
Terrorist attacks or other acts of violence or war may harm our results of operations. There can be no assurance that these attacks or armed conflicts, whether international or domestic, will not occur. These attacks or armed conflicts may directly or indirectly impact the value of the property we own or that secures our loans. Losses resulting from these types of events may be uninsurable or not insurable to the full extent of the loss suffered. Moreover, any of these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. These attacks or armed conflicts could also result in economic uncertainty in the United States or abroad. Adverse economic conditions resulting from terrorist attacks or other acts of violence or war could reduce demand for space in our properties due to the adverse effect on the economy and thereby reduce the value of our properties.
We will be subject to risks related to the geographic locations of the properties we develop.
We intend to acquire, maintain, and sell real estate assets. If the commercial or residential real estate markets or general economic conditions in the geographic areas in which we intend to operate declines, we may experience a greater rate of default by tenants on their leases with respect to properties in these areas and the value of the properties in these areas could decline. Any of these events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
| 14 |
There may be several conflicts of interest that arise as we implement our business plan.
Certain of our officers and directors and our affiliates may engage, for their own account, or for the account of others, in other business ventures similar to ours or otherwise, and neither we nor any shareholder shall be entitled to any interest therein. Our management will devote only so much time to our business as is reasonably required. If a specific business venture becomes available, such person(s) may face a conflict in selecting between our business and his or her other business interests. We have not yet formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. We will not share in the risks or rewards of such other ventures; however, such other ventures will compete for their time and attention, which might create other conflicts of interest. We do not at this time require our officers or directors to devote any particular amount of time to the Company. As a result, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We are buying certain assets in our portfolio from certain of our officers and directors. Even though these will be purchased with arms-length appraisals, there is still an inherent conflict between the roles of certain officers and/or directors acting and representing the sellers and buyers in the same transaction.
The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile, which may adversely affect its market price.
The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations due to factors such as:
| ● | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition or results of operations; | |
| ● | the success or failure of our operating strategies and our perceived prospects; realization of any of the risks described in this section; failure to be covered by securities analysts or failure to meet the expectations of securities analysts; | |
| ● | a decline in the stock prices of peer companies; and | |
| ● | a discount in the trading multiple of our common stock relative to that of common stock of certain of our peer companies due to perceived risks associated with our smaller size. |
As a result, shares of our common stock may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid to acquire them. Furthermore, declines in the price of our common stock may adversely affect our ability to conduct future offerings or to recruit and retain key employees, including our managing directors and other key professional employees.
Your interest in us may be diluted if we issue additional shares of common stock.
In general, shareholders do not have preemptive rights to any common stock issued by us in the future. Therefore, shareholders may experience dilution of their equity investment if we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, including shares issuable under equity incentive plans, or if we issue securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock, which we intend to do.
We cannot assure you that our common stock will become listed on a securities exchange and the failure to do so may adversely affect your ability to dispose of our common stock in a timely fashion.
We plan to seek listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ exchange as soon as reasonably practicable. We may not currently meet the initial listing standards of any of those exchanges or any other stock exchange and cannot assure you when or if we will meet the listing standards, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of the common stock on any stock exchange.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The SEC’s penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and the salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that before a transaction in a penny stock occurs, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s agreement to the transaction. If applicable in the future, these rules may restrict the ability of brokers-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares, until our common stock no longer is considered a penny stock.
| 15 |
Certain of our executive officers and directors, through their indirect ownership of common stock, can substantially influence the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval and may prevent you and other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions, which could result in conflicts of interest that could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.
Harthorne Capital, Inc., which is owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, beneficially owns shares of our common stock equal to approximately 98% (without taking into account the expected issuance of 56.8 million shares as part of our acquisition of the Casamora Awaysis Assets and other potential issuances of shares relating to the Company’s existing private offering of common stock) of our outstanding shares of common stock). As a result, such individuals will have the ability, acting together, to substantially influence the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other shareholders and be disadvantageous to our shareholders with interests different from those individuals. These individuals also have significant control over our business, policies and affairs as officers and/or directors of our Company. These stockholders may exert influence in delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, even if such change in control would benefit the other stockholders of the Company. Lastly, the significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the market value of the Company’s common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on your ability to have any control over the Company. In addition, stock ownership of insiders and management, at high levels of ownership, may induce executive decisions inconsistent with growth-oriented risk-taking.
Investments in our common stock may provide you with limited rights, and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the short term.
Common stock and similar equity securities generally represent the most junior position in an issuer’s capital structure and, as such, generally entitle holders to an interest in the assets of the issuer, if any, remaining after all more senior claims to such assets have been satisfied. Holders of common stock generally are entitled to dividends only if and to the extent declared by the governing body of the issuer out of income or other assets available after making interest, dividend, and any other required payments on more senior securities of the issuer. We anticipate that we will retain our earnings, if any, for future growth and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the short term. Investors seeking cash dividends should not invest in our common stock for that purpose.

Certain information contained in this MD&A includes “forward-looking statements.” Statements which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to us and our management and their interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting our existing and proposed business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks described in detail in the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K entitled “Risk Factors” as well as elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “could,” “scheduled,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, and especially given the nature of our existing and proposed business, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K will in fact occur. Potential investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.
Overview
We are a real estate investment and management company focused on acquisition, construction, selling and managing rentals of residential vacation home communities in desirable travel destinations. We seek to create value through the targeting and acquisition, development, and up-cycling, rebranding, and repositioning of currently undervalued operating and shovel ready residential/resort communities in global travel destinations, with the intention to relaunch these assets under the “Awaysis” brand with the goals of creating a network of residential and resort enclave communities that will optimize both sales and rental revenues, providing attractive returns to owners and exceptional vacation experiences to travelers. At least initially, our target acquisitions are resorts that have not been completed nor have a prior operational history. As such we intend to purchase the real estate and finish the development, then we would sell the finished units and put them in a rental pool.
The Company seeks to own and grow a stable, cash generating, diversified portfolio of single-family and luxury resort/residence properties in the Caribbean, Europe, South America, and the United States.
Our business strategy entails targeting and identifying undervalued assets in emerging markets located in proximity to high demand travel destinations. The Company intends to focus these efforts on shovel-ready properties and/or other assets that we believe can be used to optimize sales and rental revenues. We have currently identified five properties in the country of Belize, all of which are expected to constitute our initial real estate portfolio. To that effect, on June 30, 2022, we closed on the acquisition of certain real estate assets in San Pedro, Belize (the “Casamora Awaysis Assets”), pursuant to our previously announced series of Agreements of Purchase and Sale, all dated April 15, 2022. The total consideration paid by us for the properties subject to the agreements was at the appraisal value of $11.4 million (excluding transaction costs and fees) and was settled in a combination of a Purchase Money Mortgage of $2.6 million at 0% interest rate, payable on demand, a Purchase Money Mortgage of $280,000 at 0% interest rate that was paid on August 8, 2022 and 56.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock based on a per share price equal to the market price on the date of appraisal of $0.150. As the first acquisition by the Company in Belize and an important milestone, the Company expects to rebrand the Casamora Awaysis Asset, so it is easily identifiable as an Awaysis Property and fit perfectly with its strategy of creating a countrywide network of Awaysis residential enclave communities in the country for owners and guests to travel, work and play.
Cost of Revenues
The company had no revenues as of June 30, 2022, and no cost of revenues.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and other personnel-related expenses, which may include share-based compensation, for employees engaged in sales, marketing and support of our products and services, promotional and public relations expenses and management and administration expenses in support of sales and marketing.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative costs include payroll, employee benefits, and other personnel-related costs, which include share-based compensation, associated with administrative and support staff, as well as legal and accounting costs, insurance costs, and other administrative fees.

Results of Operations – Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021
We had no significant activity during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. We commenced activities and started to incur material costs in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 as a result of our change in control transaction in November 2021 and commencement in February 2022 of our business strategy of acquiring, developing, and managing residential vacation home communities in desirable travel destinations.
We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.
Revenues
We recognized no revenue during the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, as we had no revenue generating activities during these periods.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
During the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we incurred sales and marketing expenses of $49,269 and $0, consisting of marketing and support of our products and services, promotional and public relations expenses and management and administration expenses in support of sales and marketing.
General and Administrative Expenses
During the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $190,582 and $12,023, consisting of audit and accounting fees, travel and entertainment, payroll and employee benefits, legal fees, filing fees and transfer agent fees, all relating to both sustaining the corporate existence of the Company and public company-related expenses and transitioning from being a shell company to an operating company under its new management.
Operating Loss
During the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we recognized operating losses of $(239,851) and $(12,023), respectively. These losses were primarily attributable to the Company transitioning from being a shell company to an operating company under its new management and brand.
Other Income (Expenses)
During the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we incurred interest expenses of $0 and $2,488, respectively.
Net Loss
During the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 we recognized net losses of $(239,851) and $(14,511), respectively. These losses were primarily attributable to accounting, marketing, legal, filing fees and transfer agent fees to sustaining the corporate existence of the Company and public company related expenses, and transitioning from being a shell company to an operating company under its new management and brand.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $481,965 and had a positive working capital of $8,959,498, of which was mainly from the issuance of shares for real estate inventory and sale of shares from private placement. We have sufficient cash or commitments for funding to satisfy our basic operations for at least 12 months, and expect the anticipated cost of development of our first properties to come from pre-sales and not cash-on-hand. We will need to raise additional cash to satisfy our long-term requirements.
Presently, our principal shareholder has indicated its intention to provide such funds as may be required for the Company to become, and remain, a fully reporting public company while seeking to create value for shareholders by pursuing our business plan to reinvent the Company as a real estate investment and management company. Such intentions do not represent a binding commitment by the principal shareholder and there is no guarantee that our principal shareholder will be able to provide the funding necessary to achieve this objective.
If we are unable to obtain the necessary funding from our principal shareholder, we anticipate facing major challenges in raising the necessary funding to affect our business plan. Raising debt or equity funding for small publicly quoted, penny stock companies is extremely challenging. We can provide no assurance that financing will be available in the amounts it needs or on terms acceptable to it, if at all. If we are not able to secure adequate additional working capital when it becomes needed, it may be required to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible and/or suspend or curtail planned acquisitions and developments. Any of these actions could materially harm our planned business.
| 19 |
Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements and to remain operational beyond the next 12 months or to further expand our asset base is through the sale of shares of our capital stock to third parties. While we intend in the short term to seek to raise up to $25 million through the sale of our common stock, we cannot assure you we will be successful in raising any or all of such capital and in meeting our working capital needs. Through June 30, 2022, we have raised an aggregate of $1,818,000 in such private placement and can give no assurance that we will be successful in raising the remaining funds being sought. The capital raises from issuances of equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. In addition, to the extent we determine to incur indebtedness, our incurrence of debt could result in debt service obligations and operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities for the years ended June 30, 2022, or 2021. Net cash flows used in operating activities were $(200,381) and $(5,923) for the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, net cash flow used for investing activities was $22,145 and $0, respectively.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
In 2021, we financed our operations primarily by way of advances from notes payable from a former director and former majority shareholder, and in 2022 through June 30, 2022, we have financed our operations by way of advances from our current majority shareholder, issuance of shares and debt for real estate inventory, and cash raised from the private placement offering. The Company offered up to $25 million worth of restricted shares of common stock to a limited number of accredited investors, at a price per share of $1.00.
For the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, net cash from financing activities was $704,491 and $5,923, respectively.
We are dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund our ongoing operations and to execute our business plan to become a real estate investment and management company. In addition, we are dependent upon our controlling shareholder to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may not be able to implement our plan of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The company applies judgment and estimates that may have material effect in the eventual outcome of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, accounts receivable, inventory and goodwill. The following explains the basis and the procedure where judgment and estimates are applied.
Inventories
New real estate inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of finished inventories determined on the specific identification method is removed from inventories and recorded as a component of cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized. In addition, an allocation of depreciation and amortization is included in cost of goods sold. Under the specific identification method, if finished real estate inventory can be sold for a profit there is no basis to write down the inventory below the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statements, we had an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2022 and 2021, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting periods then ended. As of year, ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we had cash in the amount of $481,965 and -0-, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had executed subscription pending funding in the amount of $1,193,000 and -0-, respectively.
The Company is commencing operations and seeking to generate sufficient revenue and have received sufficient subscriptions and funding to support its current basic operations for at least the next 12 months; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s long-term strategy. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue to further develop its first properties through presales, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, generate sufficient revenue through presales or otherwise, and its ability to raise additional funds by way of private offering or debt. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The consolidated financial statements and supplementary data required by this item are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K immediately following Part IV and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company needs to implement disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of June 30, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an assessment, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our then existing disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). As of the date of this assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management came to this result due to the Company failing to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K to announce the acquisition of the Casamora Awaysis Assets.
Although we have begun to rectify these weaknesses by the hiring of Amir Vasquez as our new CFO, our remediation of these deficiencies is still ongoing.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) of the Exchange Act). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time. We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a -15(f) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2022, and have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.

Committees of the Board of Directors
Structure and Operation of the Board
We do not have standing audit, compensation, or nominating committees of our Board. However, the full Board performs all of the functions of a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee. The Board currently consists of six directors: Mr. Singh (Chairman), Dr. Trumbach, Ms. Iannitelli, Dr. Stuart, Dr. Kini and Mr. Trumbach. The following is a brief description of these functions of the Board:
Nomination of Directors
The Board does not currently have a standing nominating committee, and thus we do not have a nominating committee charter. Due to our small size and limited operations to date, the Board determined that it was appropriate for the entire Board to act as the nominating committee. The full Board currently has the responsibility of selecting individuals to be nominated for election to the Board. Board candidates are typically identified by existing directors or members of management. The Board will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. Any such candidates will be evaluated on the same basis as other candidates being evaluated by the Board. Information with respect to such candidates should be sent to Awaysis Capital, Inc., 3400 Lakeview Drive, Suite 100, Miramar, FL 33027; c/o Chairman. The Board considers the needs for the Board as a whole when identifying and evaluating nominees and, among other things, considers diversity in background, age, experience, qualifications, attributes and skills in identifying nominees, although it does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity.
Audit Committee Related Function
We do not have a standing audit committee, and thus we do not have an audit committee charter. Due to our small size and limited operations to date, the Board determined that it was appropriate for the entire Board to act as the audit committee. The Board intends to review with management and the Company’s independent public accountants the Company’s financial statements, the accounting principles applied in their preparation, the scope of the audit, any comments made by the independent accountants upon the financial condition of the Company and its accounting controls and procedures and such other matters as the Board deems appropriate. Because the Company’s common stock is traded on the OTC Pink market, the Company is not subject to the listing requirements of any securities exchange regarding audit committee related matters.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have an independent audit committee financial expert, and we do not have an audit committee. Dr. Trumbach meets the definition of an audit committee financial expert but he is not independent.
Risk Oversight
The Board’s risk oversight is administered primarily through the following:
| ● | review and approval of an annual business plan; | |
| ● | review of a summary of risks and opportunities at meetings of the Board; | |
| ● | review of business developments, business plan implementation and financial results; | |
| ● | oversight of internal controls over financial reporting; and | |
| ● | review of employee compensation and its relationship to our business plans. |
| 24 |
Due to the small size and early stage of the Company, we have not adopted a formal policy on whether there should be a separate Non-Executive Chairman.
Compensation Committee Related Function
The Board does not currently have a standing compensation committee, and thus we do not have a compensation committee charter. Due to our small size and limited operations to date, the Board determined that it was appropriate for the entire Board to act as the compensation committee. The full Board currently has the responsibility for reviewing and establishing compensation for executive officers and making policy decisions concerning salaries and incentive compensation for executive officers of the Company.
The Company’s executive compensation program is administered by the Board, which determines the compensation of the executive officers of the Company. In reviewing the compensation of the individual executive officers, the Board intends to consider the recommendations of the executive officers, published compensation surveys and current market conditions.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed with this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Corporate Governance
Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC reports of ownership of our securities and changes in reported ownership. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations from the reporting persons that no Form 5 was required, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, with the exception of one untimely Form 3 for each of Messrs. Trumbach, Nelson, Singh, Trumbach, Narendra and Iannitelli, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners have been met.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table shows the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned, as November 2, 2022, by (i) each of our directors and director nominees, (ii) each of our named executive officers, (iii) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group, and (iv) all those known by us to be to a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock. In general, “beneficial ownership” refers to shares that an individual or entity has the power to vote or dispose of, and any rights to acquire common stock that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of November 2, 2022. We calculated percentage ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. The percentage of common stock beneficially owned is based on 100,143,322 shares outstanding as of November 2, 2022. In addition, shares issuable pursuant to options or other convertible securities that may be acquired within 60 days of November 2, 2022 are deemed to be issued and outstanding and have been treated as outstanding in calculating and determining the beneficial ownership and percentage ownership of those persons possessing those securities, but not for any other persons.
This table is based on information supplied by each director, officer and principal stockholder of the Company. Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, the Company believes that the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown to be beneficially owned by them, based on information provided by such stockholders. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each director, executive officer and 5% or greater stockholders of the Company listed is: c/o Awaysis Capital, Inc., 3400 Lakeside Drive, ,Suite 100, Miramar, FL 33027

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Related Person Transaction
The Board intends to implement a policy to review, approve and oversee any transaction between us and any related person and any other potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis, and develops policies and procedures for the approval of related party transactions. Prior to consideration of a transaction with a related person, the material facts as to the related person’s relationship or interest in the transaction would be disclosed to the disinterested directors. The transaction would not be approved unless a majority of the members of the Board who are not interested in the transaction approve the transaction. The Board intends to takes into account, among other factors that it deems appropriate, whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available in a transaction with an unrelated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the related person transaction.
Each of Mr. Singh, Dr. Trumbach and Ms. Iannitelli are Executive Directors of Harthorne, the owner of approximately 98% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.
As of June 30, 2022, and 2021, Harthorne advanced $12,497 and $5,923, respectfully, relating to costs paid on behalf of the Company.
Family Relationships
Tyler Trumbach, the Company’s Chief Legal Counsel and a director, is the son of Dr. Andrew Trumbach, the president and a director of the Company. There are no other familial relationships between any of our officers and directors.
| 28 |
Apart from the disclosures set forth under this Item 13, there have been no related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
Director Independence
We use the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
| ● | The director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company; | |
| ● | The director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service); | |
| ● | A family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company; | |
| ● | The director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); | |
| ● | The director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or | |
| ● | The director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. | |
| Under such definitions, one of our directors can be considered independent. |
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements of Awaysis Capital, Inc. for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, with management and have reviewed related written disclosures of BF Borgers CPA PC, our independent accountants of the matters required to be discussed by SAS 114 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU Section 380), as amended, with respect to those statements.

Based on this review and these discussions, the Board of Directors recommends that the financial statements be included in this Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Awaysis Capital, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Awaysis Capital, Inc. as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 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 3 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 3. 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.
Critical Audit Matter
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nature of Business
Awaysis Capital, Inc. (formerly known as JV Group, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, (“Awaysis”, “JV Group”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our’) is a publicly quoted shell company transitioning to an operating company. We are a real estate investment and management company focused on acquisition, construction, selling and managing rentals of residential vacation home communities in desirable travel destinations. We seek to create value through the targeting and acquisition, development, and up-cycling, rebranding, and repositioning of currently undervalued operating and shovel ready residential/resort communities in global travel destinations, with the intention to relaunch these assets under the “Awaysis” brand with the goals of creating a network of residential and resort enclave communities that will optimize both sales and rental revenues, providing attractive returns to owners and exceptional vacation experiences to travelers.
The Company’s principal executive office is located at 3400 Lakeside Dr, Miramar, FL 33027.
Company History
JV Group was formed in Delaware on September 29, 2008 under the name ASPI, Inc.
On May 18, 2022, we changed our name from JV Group, Inc. to Awaysis Capital, Inc. In connection with this name change, we changed our ticker symbol from “ASZP” to “AWCA” and effective May 25, 2022, we began trading on the OTC Market under our new symbol.
In December 2021, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Awaysis Capital, LLC, a Florida single member limited liability corporation to hold the office lease and to become the master payroll company for Awaysis Capital Inc.
We also formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Awaysis Casamora Limited, a Belize single member limited liability corporation to hold the title to the acquisition of the Casamora assets.
From October 2015 to February 2022, we were a publicly quoted shell company seeking to merge with an entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create values for our shareholders. In February 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company determined to pursue a business strategy of acquiring, developing and managing residential vacation home communities in desirable travel destinations.
| F-7 |
The Company’s principal executive office is located at 3400 Lakeside Drive, Suite 100, Miramar, FL 33027 and its main number is 855-795-3377. The Company’s website address is www.awaysisgroup.com.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The Company is still assessing the impact COVID-19 may have on its business, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable the Company to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and global efforts to contain its spread will impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the pandemic and the actions taken to contain or treat the COVID-19 pandemic.
We currently have not been directly impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak due to our limited operations. However, management believes the effect of the pandemic outbreak on the global economy has driven demand for vacation home ownership and remote work at home while travelling. The Company believes that this will enhance its ability to raise funding for working capital and other needs and to attract an experienced management team to take advantage of the opportunities for growth.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. These policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied. The Company has selected June 30 as its financial year end. The Company did not earn any revenue during the years ended June 30, 2022.
Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Awaysis Capital, LLC and Awaysis Casamora Limited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We
maintain cash balances in a non-interest-bearing account and unrestricted cash in escrow that currently does not exceed federally insured
limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered
to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2022, our cash balance was $
Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
| F-8 |
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using highly observable inputs.
Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.
Our financial instruments consist of prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accounts payable - related party and note payable – related party. The carrying amount of our prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accounts payable - related party and note payable – related party approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Related Party Transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of our membership interests including such person’s immediate families, (ii) our management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence our financial and operating decisions. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See Note 8 below for details of related party transactions in the period presented.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The fixed assets include property, equipment and software which ownership is maintained by the Company.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) as assets, operating lease non-current liabilities, and operating lease current liabilities in our balance sheet. Finance leases are property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet.
ROU assets represent the right to use an asset for the lease term and lease liability represent the obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over lease term. As most of the leases doesn’t provide an implicit rate, we generally use the incremental borrowing rate on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over lease term.
We were not party to any lease agreements during the year ended June 30, 2022, or 2021.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
| F-9 |
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition Standard, ASC 606 is used by the Company to recognize revenue. ASC 606 standards were jointly issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation
At this time, we have not identified specific planned revenue streams, nor have we recognized any revenue during the years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.
Inventory
New real estate inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of finished inventories determined on the specific identification method is removed from inventories and recorded as a component of cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized. In addition, an allocation of depreciation and amortization is included in cost of goods sold. Under the specific identification method, if finished real estate inventory can be sold for a profit there is no basis to write down the inventory below the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Inventory
of real estate under construction was $
| F-10 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - From inception, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
● Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
● Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
● Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts payable, warrant liability and notes payable approximated fair value as of June 30, 2022, and 2021 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
We
expense advertising costs when advertisements occur. Advertising for the Company consists primarily of the creation and marketing of
the Awaysis brand guideline, logo, wordmark, tagline, and website. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately $
The cost of equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in return for goods and services is measured by the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The related expense is recognized as services are rendered or vesting periods elapse.
No stock-based compensation was issued during the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding during the year ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those years, and must be adopted under a modified retrospective method approach. Entities may adopt ASU 2016-13 earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. Implementation of this ASU had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. Implementation of this ASU had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2022, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. GOING CONCERN
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40):
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). The Company’s
financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statements, the
Company had an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2022 and 2021, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting
periods then ended. As of year, ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, it has cash in the amount of $
The Company is commencing operations and seeking to generate sufficient revenue and have received sufficient subscriptions and funding to support its current basic operations for at least the next 12 months; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s long-term strategy. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue to further develop its first properties through presales, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, generate sufficient revenue through presales or otherwise, and its ability to raise additional funds by way of private offering or debt. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

DEMAND PROMISSORY Note
| $280,000.00 | Plantation, FL | June 30, 2022 |

The entire unpaid Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and costs, shall be due and payable upon written Demand of the Lender delivered to Awaysis Capital at its principal place of business at 4405 Peters Road, Plantation, Florida 33317. This address may be amended by written notice to the Lender at 5348 Vegas Drive, Las Vegas, CA 89108 The date of the receipt of this notice shall be the date of maturity of the note (the “Maturity Date”), or on the day an Event of Default as defined below occurs (the “Date of Default”) whichever shall occur first. All remaining principal, interest, and costs shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, or on the day the Lenders give written notice of the acceleration of this Promissory Note pursuant to an Event of Default as defined in Section 5 of the Loan Agreement (as defined below), whichever shall come first.
3. Application of Payments. Monies received by Lenders from any source for application toward payment of the obligations hereunder shall be applied first to interest and costs and then to principal. If an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs, monies may be applied to the obligations in any manner deemed appropriate by the Lender. If any payment received by the Lender under this Promissory Note is rescinded, voided or for any reason returned by the Lender because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of Borrower as though such payment had not been made.
4. This Section is Left Intentionally Blank.
5. Events of Default; Remedy. If any of the following occurs, an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Promissory Note shall exist:
(a) Failure by Borrower to pay the entire Principal Amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the Maturity Date, or
(b) Material failure by Borrower to perform or observe any agreement, covenant or condition contained herein or contained in the Loan Agreement; or
(c) The occurrence of any Event of Default defined as any dissolution, winding down of operations, or bankruptcy proceedings initiated by the Borrower.
No acceptance of a past-due installment or other indulgences granted from time to time, shall be construed as a novation of this Promissory Note or as a waiver of any right or of the right of the Lenders thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Promissory Note or to prevent the exercise of any right or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable laws.
6. Governing Law; Changes. This Promissory Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought, be it the Borrower or by the Lender. This Promissory Note is intended as a contract under and shall be construed and enforceable in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
7. Payments Not to Violate Law. Nothing contained herein, nor any transaction related hereto, shall be construed to, or operate so as to, require the Borrower to pay interest at a rate greater than it is now lawful in such case for which to contract, or to make any payment or to do any act contrary to applicable law, and the Lender shall reimburse the Borrower for any interest paid in excess of the highest rate allowed by applicable law or any other payment which may inadvertently be required by the Lender to be paid contrary to applicable law; and if any clauses or provisions herein contained operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Promissory Note, in whole or in part, then such clauses and provisions only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Promissory Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
8. Miscellaneous. Borrower hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or dishonor and of protest, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever, and agrees to remain bound under this Promissory Note until the principal and interest are paid in full, notwithstanding any extensions of time for payment which may be granted even though the period or periods of extension be indefinite and notwithstanding any inaction by, or failure to assert any legal rights available to the Lender of this Promissory Note. Borrower acknowledges that the Lender may reproduce (by electronic means or otherwise) any of the documents evidencing this Promissory Note and thereafter may destroy the original documents. Borrower hereby agrees that any document so reproduced shall be the binding obligation of Borrower enforceable and admissible in evidence against it to the same extent as if the original documents had not been destroyed.
| 2 |
9. Subordination. The rights of the Holder of this Note to receive payment hereunder and other rights of the Holder of this Note are subject and subordinate to the rights of any Senior Secured Parties of the Maker. Maker will not make and Lender will not accept, at any time while indebtedness is owing and outstanding to Senior Secured Parties, (A) any principal payments to Senior Secured Parties, (B) any advance, transfer, or assignment of assets as security to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may make regularly scheduled payments of interest only to Creditor so as Maker is not in default under any agreement between Maker and Senior Secured Party.
In the event of any distribution, division, or application, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the Marker’s assets, or the proceeds of Maker’s assets, in whatever form, to creditors of Makers or upon indebtedness of Borrower, whether by reason of the liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of Maker, or by reason of any execution sale, receivership, insolvency, or bankruptcy proceeding, assignment for the benefit of creditors, proceedings for reorganization, or readjustment of Maker or Maker’s properties, then and in such event, the Senior Secured Parties shall be paid in full before any payment is made to the Lenders.

Exhibit 14.1
AWAYSIS CAPITAL, INC.
Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct
1. General Policy
It is the policy of Awaysis Capital, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Awaysis” or the “Company”) to conduct business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and with integrity.
Each Awaysis employee, officer and director must comply with the policies set forth in this Code of Ethics and Conduct (the “Code”). All employees, officer and directors should review this Code or summary materials that may be issued in conjunction with the Code, and make sure that these policies guide their actions. If any employee, officer or director becomes aware of an issue of legal compliance which is not adequately addressed in this Code, the Compliance Officer should be notified. The text of the Code can also be found through the Company’s website (awaysisgroup.com).
Awaysis takes compliance with laws, regulations, rules and the Code seriously. Any intentional violation will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from employment. Disciplinary actions may also apply to an employee’s supervisor who directs or approves the employee’s improper actions or who is aware of those actions, but does not act appropriately to correct them or fails to exercise appropriate supervision. In addition to imposing its own discipline, Awaysis may also bring violations of law or suspected violations of law to the attention of appropriate law enforcement personnel.
This Code includes statements of Awaysis’ policy in a number of specific areas. We need your help to comply with these policies. To that end, the Company’s Chairman has been named as the Code of Ethics and Conduct Compliance Officer, charged with reviewing the Company’s compliance policies and specific compliance situations that may arise.
If a question arises as to whether any action complies with Awaysis policies or applicable law, an employee, officer or director should present that question directly to the Compliance Officer. Concerns about violations of any part of this Code may be made anonymously, by sending them to the Compliance Officer at the Company’s headquarters,. Simply ask your question or give any information you may have. If you are reporting a possible violation, it is important to give the information you have in as much detail as possible, and as accurately as you can, neither overstating it nor omitting any relevant facts. In raising an issue, you may remain anonymous, although you are encouraged to identify yourself. Should you choose to identify yourself, your identity will be kept confidential to the extent feasible or permissible under the law. All employees, officers and directors of Awaysis have the commitment of the Company that they will be protected from retaliation for any report of possible misconduct made in good faith. Knowingly making a false accusation or providing false information to the Company, however, is improper, a violation of this Code, and an action that subjects the actor to discipline. Failure to report known or suspected wrongdoing of which any member of Awaysis has knowledge may, by itself, subject that person to disciplinary action.
This Code generally highlights some of the more important legal principles with which employees, officers and directors are expected to be familiar. The fact that this Code does not specifically reference other applicable laws (some of which may be covered in other Awaysis policies), does not diminish their importance or application. There are, of course, other Awaysis policies separate from this one; these are made available to, and must be adhered to by, employees of the Company.
2. Compliance with the Law
Awaysis seeks to comply with all applicable government laws, rules and regulations. We need the cooperation of all employees, officers and directors to do so and to bring lapses or violations to light. While some regulatory schemes may not carry criminal penalties, they control the licenses and certifications that allow the Company to conduct its business. Awaysis’ continued ability to operate depends upon your help.
Some of the regulatory programs that affect the Company and with which employees may deal in the course of their duties include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | labor and wage & hour laws; | |
| ● | occupational safety and health regulation; | |
| ● | antitrust laws; | |
| ● | building, safety and fire codes; | |
| ● | regulations concerning use of animals in research; | |
| ● | laws and regulations of hazardous materials and radiation; | |
| ● | laws and regulations covering biotechnology products and pharmaceuticals; | |
| ● | healthcare laws and regulations; | |
| ● | export control system; and | |
| ● | environmental programs. |
The Compliance Officer can provide employees with information on these rules, and can direct questions or concerns to the proper person.
3. Company Stock
Because our stock is publicly traded, certain of the Company’s activities are subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws. These laws govern the dissemination or use of information about the affairs of Awaysis or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and other information which might be of interest to persons considering the purchase or sale of the stocks. Violations of the federal securities laws could subject you and the Company to stiff criminal and civil penalties. Accordingly, Awaysis does not sanction and will not tolerate any conduct that risks a violation of these laws.
a. Disclosure of Transactions in Awaysis Securities
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requires continuing disclosure of transactions in the Company’s publicly traded securities by the Company, its directors, executive officers, major shareholders and certain other affiliated persons. We are committed to complying with obligations related to this disclosure. Covered transactions are reported to the SEC and the reports are public; they may be viewed through the Awaysis website, by clicking on the “Investors” tab and then selecting “SEC Filings.”
b. Insider Trading
It is illegal for any person, either personally or on behalf of others, (i) to buy or sell securities while in possession of material nonpublic information, or (ii) to communicate (to “tip”) material nonpublic information to another person who trades in the securities on the basis of the information or who in turn passes the information on to someone who trades. All directors, officers, employees, and temporary insiders, such as accountants and lawyers, must comply with these “insider trading” restrictions.
All information that an investor might consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold securities is considered “material.” Information that is likely to or may affect the price of securities is almost always material. Examples of some types of material information are:
| ● | information regarding the results of our research and development, including clinical trial results, results from pre-clinical experiments and the status of regulatory approval or the regulatory process for any of our product candidates; | |
| ● | financial and operating results for the month, quarter or year; | |
| ● | financial forecasts, including proposed or approved budgets; | |
| ● | possible mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other purchases and sales of products, businesses, companies and investments in companies; | |
| ● | obtaining or losing important contracts, such as critical licensing agreements; | |
| ● | major personnel changes; and | |
| ● | major litigation developments. |
All information about Awaysis or its business plans is potentially “insider” information until publicly disclosed or made available by Awaysis. Thus, Awaysis employees, officers or directors may not disclose it to others. This prohibition includes disclosure to relatives, friends, or business or social acquaintances. Information is considered to be nonpublic unless it has been effectively disclosed to the public (for example, by a press release). Further, the information must not only be publicly disclosed, but there must also be adequate time for the market as a whole to digest the information.
When an employee, officer or director knows material nonpublic information about Awaysis, he or she is prohibited from these activities:
| ● | trading in the stocks for his or her own account or for the account of another (including any trust of which the employee, officer or director is a trustee, or any other entity that buys or sells securities, such as a mutual fund); | |
| ● | having anyone else trade for the employee, officer or director; and | |
| ● | disclosing the information to anyone else who then trades or in turn “tips” another person who trades. |
Neither the employee nor anyone acting on the employee’s behalf, nor anyone who learns the information from the employee, may trade for as long as the information continues to be material and nonpublic.
If an employee, officer or director is considering buying or selling the stocks and has a question as to whether the transaction might involve the improper use of material nonpublic information, that individual should obtain specific prior approval from the Compliance Officer. Consultation with the individual’s own attorney is also strongly encouraged.
On a related point, you should remember that outsiders may be listening or watching and may be able to pick up information they should not have. No discussion of Awaysis’ material nonpublic information should take place in public areas — such as corridors, elevators and restaurants — and care should be taken in the handling and disposal of papers containing material nonpublic information. Any questions or concerns about disclosure of nonpublic information should be brought to the Compliance Officer.
4. Confidential Information
You may be entrusted with Awaysis’ confidential business information. You are required to safeguard and use such information only for Company purposes. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors or harmful to Awaysis, if disclosed. You are expected to maintain the confidentiality of any and all such information entrusted to you by the Company or others with whom we have confidential relationships. Examples of confidential business information include, but are not limited to: the Company’s trade secrets, business plans, clinical trial results, results from pre-clinical experiments and the status of regulatory approval or the regulatory process for any of our product candidates, detailed income, cost and profit figures, new product plans, research and development ideas or information, manufacturing processes, and information about potential acquisitions, divestitures and investments. The Company often enters confidentiality agreements with third parties, such as individuals, universities and companies with which we are doing or considering doing business, and information acquired from those parties is likely to be confidential; in these cases, any employee, consultant or other agent of the Company with access to that information is required to maintain the confidentiality of the other party’s information. If you are not sure, you should check with your supervisor or with company counsel. Failure to observe these obligations of confidentiality may compromise our competitive advantage over competitors and may additionally result in a breach of contract or a violation of securities, antitrust or employment laws. You should not discuss confidential Company information outside the Company, even with your own family.
Consultants retained by Awaysis sign appropriate confidentiality agreements with the Company.
5. Special Ethical Obligations For Employees With Financial Reporting Responsibilities
As a public company, we are also committed to carrying out all continuing disclosure obligations in a full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable manner. Depending on their position with Awaysis, employees, officers or directors may be called upon to provide information to assure that the Company’s public reports are complete, fair and understandable. Awaysis expects all of its personnel to take this responsibility very seriously and to provide prompt and accurate answers to inquiries related to the Company’s public disclosure requirements.
The Finance Department bears a special responsibility for promoting integrity throughout the organization. The Chief Executive Officer and Finance Department personnel have a special role both to adhere to these principles themselves and also to ensure that a culture exists throughout the Company as a whole that ensures the fair and timely reporting of Awaysis’ financial results and condition.
Because of this special role, the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the members of Awaysis’ Finance Department are obligated to:
| ● | act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships; | |
| ● | provide information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable to ensure full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that Awaysis files with, or submits to, government agencies and in other public communications; | |
| ● | comply with rules and regulations of federal, state, provincial and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies; | |
| ● | respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of work except when authorized or otherwise legally obligated to disclose (Confidential information acquired in the course of work is not to be used for personal advantage.); | |
| ● | promote and be an example of ethical behavior as a responsible partner among peers, in the work environment and the community; and | |
| ● | promote the responsible use of and control over Company assets. |
Employees, officers and directors should promptly report to the Compliance Officer any conduct that the individual believes to be a violation of law or business ethics or of any provision of the Code, including any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict. Violations, including failures to report potential violations by others, will be viewed as a severe disciplinary matter that may result in personnel action, including termination of employment.
6. Continuing Disclosure Obligations and Accuracy of Business Records
In order to support all our disclosure obligations, it is Awaysis’ policy to record and report our factual information honestly and accurately. Failure to do so is a grave offense and will subject an individual to severe discipline by the Company, as well as possible criminal and civil penalties.
Investors count on Awaysis to provide accurate information about our business and to make responsible business decisions based on reliable records. Every individual involved in creating, transmitting or entering information into Awaysis’ financial and operational records is responsible for doing so fully, fairly, accurately, and timely, and with appropriate supporting documentation. No employee, officer or director may make any entry that intentionally hides or disguises the true nature of any transaction. For example, no individual may understate or overstate known liabilities and assets, record false revenues or revenues early, defer or accelerate the proper period for recording items that should be expensed, falsify quality or safety results, or process and submit false or inaccurate invoices.
Compliance with established accounting procedures, Awaysis’ system of internal controls, and generally accepted accounting principles is necessary at all times. In order to achieve such compliance, the Company’s records, books and documents must accurately reflect the transactions and provide a full account of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Knowingly entering inaccurate or fraudulent information into Awaysis’ accounting system is unacceptable and may be illegal. Any individual who has knowledge that an entry or process is false and material is expected to consult the Compliance Officer. In addition, it is the responsibility of each employee, officer and director to cooperate with the Company’s authorized auditors.
When billing others for the Company’s services, Awaysis has an obligation to exercise diligence, care, and integrity. Awaysis is committed to maintaining the accuracy of every invoice it processes and submits. Each employee who is involved in submitting charges, preparing claims, billing, and documenting services is expected to monitor compliance with applicable rules and maintain the highest standards of personal, professional, and institutional responsibility. By the same token, each employee who is involved with processing and documenting vendors’ or contractors’ claims for payment is similarly expected to maintain the highest standards of professionalism and ethics. Any false, inaccurate, or questionable practices relating to billing others or to processing claims made by others for payment should be reported immediately to a supervisor, the controller or the Compliance Officer.
Every individual should also be aware that almost all business records of the Company may become subject to public disclosure in the course of litigation or governmental investigation. Records are also often obtained by outside parties or the media. Employees should therefore attempt to be as clear, concise, truthful, and as accurate as possible when recording any information. They must refrain from making legal conclusions or commenting on legal positions taken by the Company or others. They must also avoid exaggeration, colorful language, and derogatory characterizations of people and their motives. Awaysis will not tolerate any conduct that creates an inaccurate impression of the Company’s business operations.
7. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets
Employees, officers and directors should protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s ability to conduct its research and development and, ultimately, on its profitability. All Company assets should be used for legitimate business purposes.
8. Corporate Opportunities
Employees, officers and directors are prohibited from (a) taking for themselves personally opportunities that they discover through the use of Company property, information or position, (b) using Company property, information or position for personal gain, and (c) competing with the Company. Each employee, officer and director owes a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.
9. Fair Dealing
Employees, officers and directors should endeavor to deal fairly with the Company’s suppliers, competitors and employees, and should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair-dealing practices.
10. Conflicts of Interest
Awaysis employees, officers and directors should avoid all potential conflicts of interest or situations that give the appearance of such conflict of interest. A conflict of interest occurs when the private interest of a Awaysis employee (or an immediate family or household member or someone with whom you have an intimate relationship) interferes, in any way — or even appears to interfere — with the duties performed by the employee or with the interests of the Company as a whole. A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, officer or director, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company. Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, such persons are of special concern.
Any personal or business activities by an employee, officer or director that may raise concerns about conflict, potential conflict or apparent conflict of interest must be disclosed to, and approved in advance by, the Compliance Officer. You should also obtain the approval of a supervising officer when accepting a board position with a not-for-profit entity, when there may be a Awaysis business relationship with the entity or an expectation of financial or other support from Awaysis.
11. Gifts, Meals and Entertainment
a. Entertainment and Gifts
Awaysis recognizes that in some instances, gifts, favors and entertainment can provide an entirely appropriate means of furthering a business relationship. These are permitted only when all of the following conditions are met:
| ● | Public disclosure would not embarrass Awaysis; | |
| ● | They are of limited value; and | |
| ● | They are consistent with our business practices. |
Normal business courtesies involving no more than ordinary amenities (such as lunch, dinner, a spectator event, or a golf game) are permitted, as are token non-cash gifts of nominal value. The guiding principle is that no gift, favor or entertainment should be accepted or provided if it will obligate, or appear to obligate, the recipient. If you are uncertain about the propriety of a gift, you should contact the Compliance Officer for guidance. Awaysis employees may not offer, give, solicit, or receive any payment that could appear to be a bribe, kickback, payoff, or other irregular type of payment.
b. Relationships with Government Personnel
Separate and more stringent gift, meals and entertainment rules apply to dealings with government officials. Federal and state anti-kickback laws prohibit Awaysis and its representatives from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, requesting, or receiving any money or other benefit, directly or indirectly, in return for obtaining or rewarding favorable treatment in connection with the award of a government contract. Any employee who becomes aware of any such conduct should immediately report it to the Compliance Officer. The anti-kickback laws must be considered whenever something of value is given or received by Awaysis or its representatives or affiliates that is in any way connected to work performed for the government. There are many transactions that may violate the anti-kickback rules. As a result, no one acting on behalf of Awaysis may offer or accept gifts, loans, rebates, services, or payment of any kind to or from government suppliers and vendors without first consulting the Compliance Officer.
c. Business Dealings in Foreign Countries
Federal law prohibits U.S. companies, and those acting on their behalf, from bribing foreign officials to obtain or retain business. Foreign officials include officers and employees of a foreign government or of a foreign governmental department or agency. Indirect payments including those to agents or third parties with the knowledge that at least a portion of the payment will be given to a foreign official for an illegal purpose are prohibited. Awaysis will not tolerate any conduct that violates this law.
12. Interacting with the Government
a. Relations with Government
Awaysis values its good relations with local, state, federal, and foreign governments. We are committed to being a “good corporate citizen” and are proud of the contributions we have made to help the communities where we do business. It is Awaysis’ policy is to maintain good relations with local, state and federal governments and government agencies, to deal honestly and fairly with government representatives and agents, and to comply with valid and reasonable governmental requests and processes. It is a violation of the Company’s policy to provide false or misleading information to any government agent or representative, or to encourage anyone else to do so. It is a violation of the Company’s policy to destroy records relevant to a fact-finding process, or to direct or encourage anyone else to do so. As noted elsewhere, violations of this policy will give rise to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. See Section 19, below, for instructions on how to deal with government investigations or inquiries.
13. Market Competition
Awaysis is committed to complying with all state and federal antitrust laws. These laws cover matters like prohibitions on price-fixing, dividing markets or territories, and other unlawful agreements. Any questions that arise in this area should be addressed to the Compliance Officer.
14. Purchasing
Purchasing decisions must be made in accordance with applicable Awaysis policy. In addition, the prohibitions discussed in Section 11 of this Code, entitled “Gifts, Meals and Entertainment” apply to purchasing decisions. Purchasing decisions must in all instances be made free from any conflicts of interest that could affect the outcome. Awaysis is committed to a fair and objective procurement system which results in the acquisition of quality goods and services at a fair price.
15. Exports and Imports
Awaysis employees and agents should be aware that there are also many U.S. laws that govern the import of items into the United States. Among other things, these laws control what can be imported into the United States, how the articles should be marked and the amount of duty to be paid. Awaysis complies with all U.S. import laws. If an employee or agent is uncertain about whether a transaction involving the importation of items into the United States complies with these laws, he or she must contact the Compliance Officer for guidance.
There are also many U.S. laws and regulations governing international trade and commerce which serve to limit the export of certain products to certain countries. Awaysis is committed to complying with those laws. Because these rules are complicated and change periodically, at such time as the Company has products, its employees and agents seeking to export a product will first confirm the legal trade status of that country and, if uncertain about whether a foreign sale complies with U.S. export laws, contact the Compliance Officer for guidance.
16. Media/Public Relations and Governmental Inquiries
When Awaysis provides information to the news media, securities analysts and stockholders, it has an obligation to do so accurately and completely. In order to ensure that Awaysis complies with its obligations, employees receiving inquiries regarding Awaysis’ activities, results, plans or position on public issues should refer the request to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, unless he has designated another person to act as corporate spokesperson. Awaysis employees may not speak publicly for the Company unless specifically authorized by senior management.
In the unlikely event that a government representative seeks to interview an employee regarding Awaysis’ business activities or an employee’s work at the Company, the employee should contact the Compliance Officer.
Occasionally, someone will arrive unexpectedly or a government representative may seek to inspect the Company’s facility. If this happens, an employee should immediately notify his or her manager or supervisor and contact the Compliance Officer.
17. Response to Investigations or Government Inquiries
Numerous state and federal agencies have broad legal authority to investigate Awaysis and review its records. Awaysis will comply with subpoenas and respond to governmental investigations as required by law. The Compliance Officer is responsible for coordinating Awaysis’ response to investigations and the release of any information.
If an employee or officer receives an investigative demand, subpoena or search warrant involving Awaysis, it should be brought immediately to the Compliance Officer. No documents should be released or copied without authorization from the Compliance Officer. If an investigator, agent or government auditor comes to a Awaysis’ facility, contact the President and CEO or his designee immediately. In the absence of the Chief Executive Officer, contact Awaysis’ Compliance Officer. Ask the investigator to wait until the contacted individual arrives before reviewing any documents or conducting any interviews. The Compliance Officer is responsible for assisting with any interviews. If Awaysis employees are approached by government investigators and agents while they are away from Awaysis’ premises and asked to discuss Company affairs, the employee has the right to insist on being interviewed during business hours with a supervisor or counsel present. Alternatively, any employee may choose to be interviewed or not to be interviewed at all. The Company recognizes the choice of how to proceed in these circumstances is left entirely the employees. If an employee chooses to speak with government personnel, it is essential that the employee be truthful. Questions may be directed to the Compliance Officer.
Awaysis employees are not permitted to alter, remove or destroy documents or records of Awaysis except in accordance with regular document retention and destruction practices. If a government investigation should be conducted, it is essential that no documents or records be destroyed or damaged during its course.
20. Amendments And Waivers
This Code applies to all Awaysis employees, officers and directors. There shall be no substantive amendment or waiver of any part of the Code affecting the directors, senior financial officers or executive officers, except by a vote of the Board of Directors, which will ascertain whether an amendment or waiver is appropriate and ensure that the amendment or waiver is accompanied by appropriate controls designed to protect Awaysis.
In the event that any substantive amendment is made or any waiver of the type requiring disclosure is granted, the waiver will be posted on the Awaysis’ website and/or filed with the SEC as appropriate, thereby allowing the Awaysis shareholders to evaluate the merits of the particular waiver.
