PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights some information contained elsewhere in this prospectus, and it may not contain all of the information important to making an investment decision. Therefore, a potential investor should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding the Company and the common stock being sold in this offerings, including, in particular, the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.
The Company
We are a real estate and hospitality company focused on acquisition, redevelopment, sales, 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.
We seek 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.
On June 30, 2022, we closed on the acquisition of certain real estate assets in San Pedro, Belize, 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 $11.1 million (excluding transaction costs and fees). As our first acquisition in Belize and an important milestone, we are rebranding the real estate assets, so it is easily identifiable as an Awaysis property and fits our strategy of creating a network of Awaysis residential enclave communities.
| 1 |
Our business strategy entails targeting and identifying undervalued assets in emerging markets located in proximity to high demand travel destinations. We intend to focus these efforts on shovel-ready properties and/or other assets that we believe can be used to optimize sales and rental revenues.
Corporate Information
We have historically existed as a publicly quoted shell company. In February 2022, our Board of Directors 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 principal executive offices are located at 3400 Lakeside Drive, Miramar, Florida 33027. Our main telephone number is (855) 795-3311. Our website is www.awaysisgroup.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference and is not a part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
A purchase of any of our securities involves a high degree of risk. Investors should consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus before the purchase of any of our shares of Common Stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company would likely suffer, the market price of the common stock would likely decline, and investors could lose all or a portion of their investment. The Company has listed the following risk factors which it believes to be those material to an investment decision in this offering.
Our proposed business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | We are a development stage company with a limited operating history, making it difficult for you to evaluate our business and your investment. | |
| ● | 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. | |
| ● | We may never become profitable. | |
| ● | We are dependent on management. | |
| ● | The expansion of our operations can have a significant impact on our profitability. | |
| ● | Our financial success is dependent on general economic conditions. | |
| ● | Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuations. | |
| ● | Our proposed objectives are capital intensive and subject to change. | |
| ● | 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 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. | |
| ● | Investors are reliant on management’s assessment, selection, and development of appropriate properties. | |
| ● | We face significant increases in development costs. | |
| ● | Our profitability may be impacted by delays in the selection, acquisition, and re-development of properties. | |
| ● | Our management maintains full discretion in the future disposition of properties. | |
| ● | Our properties may be subject to environmental laws and regulations that have the potential to impose liability. |
| 3 |
| ● | Real estate is not as liquid as other types of assets, which may reduce economic returns to investors. | |
| ● | We may be unable to sell a property if or when we decide to do so, including as a result of uncertain market conditions, which could adversely affect the return on an investment in our Company. |
| ● | We may not succeed in creating a portfolio enclave strategy. | |
| ● | Our properties may be subject to liabilities or other problems. | |
| ● | 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. | |
| ● | There are significant risks associated with “value-add” and properties in need of re-positioning. | |
| ● | Uninsured losses relating to real property may adversely affect our performance. | |
| ● | Competition for investment assets may increase costs and reduce returns. | |
| ● | Environmental regulations and issues, certain of which we may have no control over, may adversely impact our business. | |
| ● | Real estate may develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem. | |
| ● | Terrorist attacks or other acts of violence or war may adversely affect our industry, operations, and profitability. | |
| ● | We will be subject to risks related to the geographic locations of the properties we develop.
| |
| ● | There may be several conflicts of interest that arise as we implement our business plan.
| |
| ● | The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile, which may adversely affect its market price.
| |
| ● | Your interest in us may be diluted if we issue additional shares of common stock.
| |
| ● | We cannot assure you that our common stock will become listed on a national securities exchange and the failure to do so may adversely affect your ability to dispose of our common stock in a timely fashion.
| |
| ● | 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.
| |
| ● | 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.
| |
| ● | Investments in our common stock may provide you with limited rights, and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the short term. |
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.
| 4 |
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 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.
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.
| 5 |
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.
| 6 |
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.
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.
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.
| 7 |
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.
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.
| 8 |
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.
| 9 |
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.
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 or another national securities 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.
| 10 |
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.
Certain of our executive officers and directors, through their direct and 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, along with Mr. Singh and Dr. Trumbach, collectively beneficially owns shares of our common stock equal to approximately 80% 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.
USE OF PROCEEDS
All of the shares of Common Stock being offered under this prospectus are being sold by or for the account of the Selling Shareholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares.
| 11 |
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the registration of 71,653,125 shares of our common stock.
The Selling Shareholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors-in-interest, may offer or sell the shares of common stock from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may also resell the shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe, based on information supplied by the following persons that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially own. The information presented in the columns under the heading “Number of Shares Beneficially Owned After Offering” assumes the sale of all of our shares offered by this prospectus. The registration of the offered shares does not mean that any or all of the Selling Shareholders will offer or sell any of these shares.
We have based the percentage of ownership on 252,227,053 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December [__], 2023. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.
Selling Shareholder information for each additional Selling Shareholder, if any, will be set forth by prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Shareholder’s shares pursuant to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Shareholder and the number of shares registered on its behalf. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the persons named below.
Certain Selling Shareholders set forth in a table below may be broker-dealers, or affiliates of broker-dealers. Each broker-dealer identified below acquired the securities identified in the table as beneficially owned by it as compensation for placement agent and financial advisory services provided to the Company and is offering the covered securities in its proprietary capacity. No broker-dealer identified in the Selling Shareholders table below is acting as a broker-dealer in connection with this offering. Additionally, each Selling Shareholder identified in the table below as an affiliate of a broker-dealer acquired the securities identified in the table as beneficially owned by it in the ordinary course of its business and not as underwriting compensation in this offering, and at the time such securities were acquired, had no agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such securities.
| 12 |
Unless otherwise indicated, none of the Selling Shareholders have within the past three years had any position, office or other material relationship with the Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering 71,653,125 shares of Common Stock, to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Shareholder of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.
Each Selling Shareholder may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Shareholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
| ● | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; | |
| ● | in the over-the-counter market; | |
| ● | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; | |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; | |
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; | |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; | |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; | |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; | |
| ● | broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; | |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; and | |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
Each Selling Shareholder may also sell shares of Common Stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, each Selling Shareholder may transfer the shares of Common Stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If a Selling Shareholder effects such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, a Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. Each Selling Shareholder may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. Each Selling Shareholder may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
| 14 |
Each Selling Shareholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. Each Selling Shareholder also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each Selling Shareholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The Selling Shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock, estimated to be approximately $35,000 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, the Selling Shareholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
The following description of our capital stock is a summary only and is qualified by reference to our Articles of Incorporation included as Exhibit 3.1, and each of the subsequent amendments thereto, included as Exhibits 3.2 and 3.3 and our Bylaws, as amended, included as Exhibit 3.4, in each case to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 to which this prospectus forms a part.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.1 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 252,227,053 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes us to issue an aggregate of 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes.

Holders
As of December [__], 2023, there were approximately 215 shareholders of record for our common stock. The number of shareholders does not include beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
As of the date of this prospectus, there are 251,977,053 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of 198,008,000 shares are owned by our directors and executive officer or their affiliates.
Almost all of our outstanding shares of common stock are considered “restricted securities” subject to the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In general, securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 after being fully paid and held for more than 6 months; provided that one year has elapsed since we filed “Form 10 information” with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While affiliates of the Company are subject to certain limits in the amount of restricted securities, they can sell under Rule 144, there are no such limitations on sales by persons who are not affiliates of the Company. In the event non-affiliated holders elect to sell such shares in the public market, there is likely to be an effect on the market price of the Company’s securities.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividend. We do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain earnings, if any, to fund operations, and the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will be dependent upon our financial condition, operation results, capital requirements, applicable contractual restrictions, restrictions in our organizational documents, and any other factors that our Board deems relevant.
Penny Stock Regulation
Shares of our common stock have been and will likely continue to be subject to rules adopted the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ or NYSE system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which contains the following:
| ● | a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; | |
| ● | a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws; | |
| ● | a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the “bid” and “ask” price; | |
| ● | a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; | |
| ● | definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and | |
| ● | such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. |
| 17 |
Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following:
| ● | the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; | |
| ● | the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; | |
| ● | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and | |
| ● | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, 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 written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with our audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus commencing on page F-1.
Overview
We are a real estate investment and management company focused on acquisition, construction, selling and managing short-term 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. The goal is to create 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 $11.1 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 51.6 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 $0.160. 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.

Revenues
As of September 30, 2023 our revenue consists primarily of monthly rental income of villas and commission from the sale of real property.
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
We commenced activities and started to incur material costs in the second half of 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. Our business strategy continued throughout the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, showing substantial growth in operating expenses in preparation for expected future growth in revenue.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2023, our operations and activities increased significantly.
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 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. We recently commenced rentals of a few “rental ready” units and expect increasing sales to also generate cash flow and working capital.
Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022
Revenues
We recognized revenue of $107,760 and $-0- during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue generated during fiscal year 2023 consisted of a few months’ worth of a monthly rental of 2 units and commissions from a property sale. Fiscal year 2022 had no revenue generating activities during this period.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred sales and marketing expenses of $91,319 and $49,269, respectively, 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.
| 19 |
General and Administrative Expenses
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $4,312,499 and $190,582, respectively, 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 fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized operating losses of $(4,296,058) and $(239,851), respectively. These losses were primarily attributable to increased operating expenses related to salaries due to the Company transitioning from being a shell company to an operating company under its new management and brand.
Other Income (Expenses)
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred interest expenses of $612 and $0, respectively, consisting of a gain on foreign exchange transaction and interest earned.
Net Loss
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized net losses of $(4,295,446) and $(239,851), 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.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2023, as Compared to September 30, 2022
Revenues
We recognized rental revenue of $6,800 and $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As development progresses at our Casamora Awaysis development, a few units were placed into the rental pool allowing for rental revenue operations to commence.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred sales and marketing expenses of $3,021 and $67,512, respectively, consisting of marketing and support of our products and services, promotional and public relations expenses, fundraising costs, investor relations, and administration expenses in support of sales and marketing. The decrease is primarily due to a stronger focus on investor funding and fundraising efforts in the prior period.
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.

General and Administrative Expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $3,535,607 and $331,144 respectively, 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. The increase is primarily due to transitioning from being a shell company to an operating company under its new management.
Operating Loss and Net Loss
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized net losses and operating losses of $(3,531,828) and $(398,656), 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 along with the deployment of its sales, marketing, and acquisition initiatives.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of $22,558 and had a positive working capital of $2,213,087, of which was mainly from the issuance of shares for real estate inventory and sale of shares from our private placement of common stock. We do not 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, investors subscriptions, advances from its principal shareholders and not cash-on-hand. We will need to raise additional cash to satisfy both our short and long-term requirements.
Historically, our principal shareholder has advanced funds on our behalf as we have 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. The shareholder has indicated its intention to continue to do so; provided, however, that 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. To date, our principal shareholder has advanced an aggregate of approximately $255,000 on behalf of the Company to cover certain of the Company’s expenses. Neither the shareholder nor the Company have entered into any agreement with respect to the terms and conditions of such advances, including any repayment terms, although we expect to do so.
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, we 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.
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 private 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 September 30, 2023, we have raised an aggregate of $1,918,000 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 fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 or 2022. Net cash flows used in operating activities were $(257,255) and $(157,645) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. Net cash flows used in operating activities were $20,630 and $(287,031) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net cash used in operations primarily consisted of the selling, marketing, and general expenses that resulted from the company recently going operational.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash flow used for investing activities was $(29,631) and $(22,145), respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash flow used for investing activities was $1,849 and $(15,726) respectively. This primarily consisted of the purchase of machinery and equipment related to the development of our properties in the prior period. We have had no such purchases during the three months ending September 30, 2023.
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, 2023, we have financed our operations by way of advances from our current majority shareholders, issuance of shares and debt for real estate inventory, in addition to 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 fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash from financing activities was $(195,000) and $661,755, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash from financing activities was $0 and $(159,777), respectively, which primarily consisted of principal shareholder advances, payment towards a note payable, and proceeds from issuance of stock.
| 22 |
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 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, the Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2023 and 2022, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting periods then ended. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash in the amount of $22,558 and has a subscription pending funding in the amount of $943,000 which has not yet been collected. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had collected $0 from executed subscriptions and $0 from its principal shareholder.
The Company is commencing operations and seeking to generate sufficient revenue and have received sufficient subscriptions that if and when funded would 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.

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 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.
● A rectangular shaped parcel with 100.0 ft. of frontage on the beach reserve and the Caribbean Sea having a total square footage of 13,590 sq. ft.

The northernmost building has four remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bath units, each with a living room, kitchen, and covered porches. The southernmost building has two 1-bedroom, 1 bath remodeled units, each with a living room and kitchen on the ground floor and one 3-bedroom, 2-bath gutted unit on the second floor, each with their own covered porches. The plan is to eventually renovate all the units into more modern, luxury boutique waterfront villas.

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.

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 principal executive offices are located at 3400 Lakeside Drive, Suite 100, Miramar, Florida 33027. Our main telephone number is (855) 795-3311. Our website is www.awaysisgroup.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference and is not a part of this prospectus.
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, has started its hospitality operations and has commenced sales operations on or about June 1, 2023. As development progresses, and more units are expected to become rentable, increased hospitality operations are expected over the next couple months.
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.
| 26 |
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.
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.
| 27 |
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.
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.
| 28 |
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 four full-time employees, including our executives. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity or, insurance; however, we intend to adopt some or all of such employee benefits in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any officers, directors, or employees. Our employees are all based in the United States, at our office located in Mirimar, Florida. These employees oversee day-to-day operations of the Company. As required, we also engage consultants to provide services to the Company both in the U.S. and Belize, including real estate, regulatory, legal and corporate services. We are subject to labor laws and regulations that apply to our locations in the U.S. and Belize. These laws and regulations principally concern matters such as pensions, paid annual vacation, paid sick days, length of the workday and work week, minimum wages, overtime pay, insurance for work-related accidents, severance pay and other conditions of employment. We have no unionized employees.
We believe we are able to attract and retain top talent by creating a culture that challenges and engages our employees, offering them opportunities to learn, grow and achieve their career goals.
We provide competitive compensation for our employees. We may also offer annual bonuses and stock-based compensation for eligible employees.
We aim to provide our employees with advanced professional and development skills, so that they can perform effectively in their roles and build their capabilities and career prospects for the future.
We strive to encourage a diversity of views and to create an equal opportunity workplace.
PROPERTIES
Our principal executive office is located at 3400 Lakeside Drive, Suite 100, Miramar, Florida, pursuant to a 62 month lease that commenced at or around September 1, 2022. This facility, consisting of 2,349 square feet, is expected to provide the space and infrastructure necessary to accommodate our present operations, based on our current business plan. The annual rent for the first lease year is approximately $86,000, with future lease years subject to escalation clauses.
| 29 |
As of September 30, 2023, we own the Casamora Resort Assets, which are still under development.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm business. We were not currently a party or subject to any legal proceeding or governmental regulatory proceeding nor are we currently aware of any pending or potential legal proceeding or governmental regulatory proceeding proposed to be initiated against us that would have a material adverse effect on us or our business.

Committees of the Board of Directors
Structure and Operation of the Board
Presently, our Board of Directors maintains a standing Audit Committee that does not yet satisfy Nasdaq’s definition of independence. The Company does not have a standing compensation or nominating committee. However, the full Board performs all of the functions of a standing 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 Lakeside 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.
| 32 |
Audit Committee
Our recently formed Audit Committee consists of Dr. Trumbach, Dr. Stuart and Dr. Kini. The Board has determined that Dr. Stuart and Dr. Kini are independent; and Dr. Trumbach is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in SEC rules, although he is not independent. The Audit Committee has not yet adopted acts pursuant to a written charter, but expects to do so.
The primary functions of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board in overseeing (i) the effectiveness of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and internal controls and the audits of the Company’s financial statements, (ii) the qualifications, independence, appointment, retention, compensation and performance of the Company’s registered public accounting firm, and (iii) the performance of the Company’s internal audit department or department or person(s) having the equivalent responsibility and functions.
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.
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. |
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.

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 consider, 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.

Director Independence

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, two of our directors can be considered independent. |

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 consolidated balance sheets of Awaysis Capital, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 4, 2023, on those statements included an explanatory paragraph that described the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements
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 consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

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 operating company. We are a vacation rental 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 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 revenues, providing attractive returns to investors and exceptional vacation experiences to travelers.
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.
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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The
summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the consolidated 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and has earned $
Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Awaysis Capital, LLC, Awaysis Cove Limited, Awaysis Chial Limited and Awaysis Casamora Limited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
| F-8 |
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.
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 accounts consist of prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accounts payable due to related parties and note payable. 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.
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.
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
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and all related amendments on January 1, 2022, on a modified retrospective basis. Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option and when doing so is at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception for all classes of assets, and therefore has not applied the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to leases of 12 months or less. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. The Company’s classes of assets that are leased include real estate leases and equipment leases. Real estate leases typically pertain to the Company’s corporate office locations, field operation locations, or vacation properties whereby the Company takes control of a third party’s property during the lease period for the purpose of renting the property on a short-term basis.
| F-9 |
The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements may contain variable costs such as common area maintenance, operating expenses or other costs. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred on the consolidated statements of operations.
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 party to an operating lease agreement which commenced during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, we were not party to an operating lease agreement at June 30, 2022. See Note 8 below for details of lessee leases.
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.
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 (
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 total booking value is generally due prior to the commencement of the reservation. The total booking value collected in advance of the reservation is recorded on the balance sheets as funds payable to owners, hospitality and sales taxes payable and deferred revenue in the amount obligated to the homeowner, the taxing authority, and the Company, respectively.
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
The Company is a development stage corporation. We have identified certain revenue streams during the development stage.
| F-10 |
The Company currently derives its revenue primarily from the short-term unit rentals of sold and unsold inventory at the resort we own and manage.
Revenue from rentals is recognized over the period in which a guest completes a stay.
Revenue
recognized from rentals was $
Other services consist of revenue derived from our real estate brokerage and other related services.
Revenue
recognized from these other services was $
Other Services
In addition to providing vacation rental platform services, the Company provides other services including real estate brokerage and management services to the home owners associations. The purpose of these services is to attract and retain homeowners as customers of the Company’s vacation rental platform. As such, the Company enters into an exclusive rental management contract with each home owners associations it controls. Under the real estate brokerage services, the Company assists home buyers and sellers in listing, marketing, selling and finding homes. Real estate commissions earned by the Company’s real estate brokerage business are recorded as revenue at a point in time which is upon the closing of a real estate transaction (i.e., purchase or sale of a home). The commissions the Company pays to real estate agents are recognized concurrently with associated revenues and presented as cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Under the home owners association management services, the Company provides common area property management, community governance, and association accounting services to community and homeowner associations in exchange for a management fee and other incrementally billed services. The services represent an individual performance obligation in which the Company has determined it is primarily responsible. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered for the management fee and incrementally billed services are recognized at a point in time.
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 $
Financial Instruments
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, 2023, and 2022 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 $
| F-11 |
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.
Stock-based compensation of $ and $ was issued for services during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in the General and Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
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 fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As of June 30, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, a net loss and net cash used in
operating activities for the reporting periods then ended. As of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, it has cash in the
amount of $
The Company is commencing operations and seeking to generate sufficient revenue to support its current basic operations for at least the next 12 months; however, the Company’s cash position is not sufficient to support the Company’s - 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nature of Business
Awaysis Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Awaysis”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our’) is real estate investment and management company focused on acquisition, construction, selling and managing short term 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. The goal is to create 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 is licensed as a real estate corporation in Florida.
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. 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.
Company History
The Company was formed in Delaware on September 29, 2008 under the name ASPI, Inc.
On May 18, 2022, the Company changed its 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.
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. The information in its website is not a part of this Form 10-Q.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied. The Company has selected June 30 as its financial year end.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Awaysis Capital, LLC, Awaysis Casamora Limited, Awaysis Chial Limited and Awaysis Cove Limited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and filed on October 17, 2023. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
| F-19 |
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 purposes 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 September 30, 2023, our cash balance was $
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value.
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.
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 cash and cash equivalents accounts payable, accounts payable - related party and note payable – related party. The carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents, 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 6 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.
| F-20 |
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and all related amendments on January 1, 2022, on a modified retrospective basis. Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option and when doing so is at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception for all classes of assets, and therefore has not applied the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to leases of 12 months or less. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. The Company’s classes of assets that are leased include real estate leases and equipment leases. Real estate leases typically pertain to the Company’s corporate office locations, field operation locations, or vacation properties whereby the Company takes control of a third party’s property during the lease period for the purpose of renting the property on a short-term basis.
The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements may contain variable costs such as common area maintenance, operating expenses or other costs. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred on the consolidated statements of operations.
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 don’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 excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over lease term.
We were party to an operating lease agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
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.
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 (
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
| F-21 |
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
The Company is a development stage corporation.
The Company currently derives its revenue primarily from the short-term unit rentals of sold and unsold inventory at the resort we own and manage.
Revenue from rentals is recognized over the period in which a guest completes a stay.
Revenue
recognized from rentals was $
Other services consist of revenue derived from our real estate brokerage and other related services.
Revenue
recognized from other services was $
Other Services
In addition to providing vacation rental platform services, the Company provides or intends to provide other services including real estate brokerage and management services to the home owners associations. The purpose of these services is to attract and retain homeowners as customers of the Company’s vacation rental platform. As such, the Company enters into or would enter into an exclusive rental management contract with each home owners associations it controls. Under the real estate brokerage services, the Company assists or would assist home buyers and sellers in listing, marketing, selling and finding homes. Real estate commissions earned by the Company’s real estate brokerage business are or would be recorded as revenue at a point in time which is upon the closing of a real estate transaction (i.e., purchase or sale of a home). The commissions the Company pays to real estate agents are recognized concurrently with associated revenues and presented as cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Under the home owners association management services, the Company provides or would provide common area property management, community governance, and association accounting services to community and homeowner associations in exchange for a management fee and other incrementally billed services. The services represent an individual performance obligation in which the Company has determined it is primarily responsible. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered for the management fee and incrementally billed services are recognized at a point in time.
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,
consisting of real estate under construction, was $
Financial Instruments
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 September 30, 2023 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 $
| F-22 |
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.
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 three months ended September 30, 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As of September 30, 2023, 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 September 30, 2023 and 2022, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting
periods then ended. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash in the amount of $
The Company is commencing operations and seeking to generate sufficient revenue and have received sufficient subscriptions that if and when funded would 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.

The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.

The Company expects such proceeds to be funded, and the Pending Shares to be issued, during fiscal year 2024.

Item 17. Undertakings.
Pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended and updated from time to time)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sales securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any additional material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
| II-3 |
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities:
If the undersigned Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of this Registration Statement, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided , however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
