PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Our Company
Cloudweb, Inc. is a Florida corporation incorporated on May 25, 2014 as Formigli, Inc. In December 2015, the Company changed its name to Data Backup, Inc., and on November 4, 2016, the Company changed its name to Data Backup Solutions Inc. On October 1, 2017, the Company changed its name to Cloudweb, Inc.
Our headquarters are located at 800 W El Camino Real Suite 180 Mountain View, Florida, CA 94040. We do not have a corporate website.
Corporate History
Our Company was incorporated on May 25, 2014 under the name “Formigli, Inc.” Our Company was originally formed with the intent to engage in the worldwide distribution of custom handmade Italian road bikes, made by Renzo Formigli.
On December 3, 2015, Amy Chaffe, our former President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and founder, decided to conduct a corporate restructuring. Our Company filed Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State whereby we amended our Articles of Incorporation by (i) changing our name to “Cloudweb, Inc.”, (ii) increasing our authorized number of shares of common stock from 100 million to 500 million, and (iii) increasing our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock by conducting a forward split of such shares at the rate of 100 shares for every one (1) share currently issued and outstanding and made submission to FINRA with respect to the corporate action and requested a change of ticker symbol to “CLOU”. Our Company’s common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets of the OTC Markets, under the symbol “CLOW”, and first traded on the OTC Markets in November 2015.
On January 28, 2016, our Company concluded a Share Exchange Agreement entered into with Zhi De Liao (“Mr. Liao”), whereby our Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Liao in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Data Cloud Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Data Cloud”). Data Cloud owned 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Web Hosting Solutions Ltd., a United Kingdom Company (“WHS”), which it purchased from James Holland for US$72,000 (GBP 47,000) on November 25, 2015.
At the time WHS had been providing web hosting solutions for approximately ten (10) years and became a UK private limited Company in 2012. In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, our Company elected to enter into the web hosting industry and discontinue our former business operations.
As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Mr. Liao became our Company’s executive officer and sole member of the Board of Directors. Concurrently, Mr. Liao, through his controlled entity, Letterston Investments Ltd., acquired 250,000,000 shares of common stock from our former officer and director Ms. Amy Chaffe. As a result, on the transaction date, Mr. Liao effectively controlled approximately 81% of our Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
On November 4, 2016, our Company filed Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State whereby we amended our Articles of Incorporation by changing our name to “Data Backup Solutions, Inc.” On November 10, 2016, our Company filed Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State whereby we amended our Articles of Incorporation by decreasing our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock by conducting a reverse split of such shares at the rate of 1 share for each one hundred shares (100) shares then currently issued and outstanding. The submission of the change of name to Data Backup Solutions, Inc. and the reverse stock split was not completed and the submission was closed.

On December 1, 2016, our Company entered into an Employment Agreement with James Holland, who at that time, was acting as our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer.
On April 1, 2017, we, entered into a Purchase Agreement with Yui Daing, an individual residing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (the “Purchaser”), Data Cloud Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Web Hosting Solutions Ltd., a United Kingdom private Company limited by shares (“WHS”). The transactions under the Purchase Agreement were completed on April 1, 2017 (the “Closing”). Prior to the Closing, Data Backup owned 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Data Cloud which owns 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of WHS,. Due to the continued consolidated losses experienced by our Company as the result of the losses of our Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, WHS, which included $50,083 USD for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and $21,818 USD for the first three (3) months ended March 31, 2017, our Company entered into the Purchase Agreement and transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Data Cloud to a third party for nominal consideration in return. In connection with the Closing, the employment agreement with James Holland was terminated and Mr. Holland was removed from the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer.
The Purchase Agreement was approved by the shareholders of our Company owning a majority of the voting stock of our Company on April 1, 2017. The Closing of the Purchase Agreement occurred on April 1, 2017. On April 1, 2017, as a result of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement, our Company discontinued the web hosting business
On October 1, 2017, a majority of stockholders of our Company and the board of directors approved a change of name of our Company from Data Backup Solutions, Inc. to the previous name, Cloudweb, Inc. Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to change the name were filed with the Florida Secretary of State on October 18, 2017.
On October 27, 2017, a majority of stockholders of our Company and board of directors approved a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of up to four hundred (400) old shares for one (1) new share of common stock. On November 30, 2017, FINRA approved the reverse stock split. The outstanding shares were restated retroactively.
On November 27, 2019, a majority of stockholders of our Company and our board of directors approved a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of up to one hundred and fifty (150) old shares for one (1) new share of common stock. Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation were filed on December 9, 2019 with the Florida Secretary of State in connection with the reverse split, with an effective date of December 18, 2019. The reverse split will become effective with the OTC Markets at the opening of trading on December 19, 2019.
Other than as set out herein, we have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of our business.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares are listed for quotation on the Pink sheets of the OTC Markets under the trading symbol “CLOW”. Trading in stocks quoted on the Pink Sheets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects.
Pink Sheet securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Pink Sheet securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. Pink Sheet issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
Holders
As of February 27, 2024, we had 34 shareholders of record of our common stock with 27,819,385 shares of common stock outstanding.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
We do not have any equity compensation plans.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
None
Purchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

As at December 31, 2023, our Company had a working capital deficiency of $570,534 compared with a working capital deficiency of $493,116 as at December 31, 2022. The increase in working capital deficit was primarily due to an increase in due to related party and accrued interest on convertible and promissory notes.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flow from operating activities. During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $43,049 compared to $61,800 used during the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating activities mainly consists of professional fees (audit fees, accounting fees, filing fees and transfer agent cost) and web development cost.
Cash flows used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, comprised of a net loss of $77,418, which was reduced by net changes in operating liabilities of $34,369.
Cash flows used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2022, comprised of a net loss of $102,996, which was reduced by amortization of debt discount of $1,184 and net changes in operating liabilities of $40,012.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our Company did not have any investing activities.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our Company received $43,049 and $61,800 for advancement from related party, respectively.
Going Concern
As of the year ended December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $233,387,947. We believe that its existing capital resources may not be adequate to enable it to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our Company is currently seeking new business opportunities with established business entities for merger with or acquisition of a target business. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we fail to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, we may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of our business plans.
Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
These tiers include:
Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3: defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying value of cash, prepayments and the Company’s loan from shareholder approximates its fair value due to their short-term maturity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. Our Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Cloudweb, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cloudweb, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or are 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 especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

CLOUDWEB, INC.
NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(in U.S. Dollars, except for number of shares or otherwise stated)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Cloudweb, Inc. (the “Company”, or “we”) is a Florida corporation incorporated on May 25, 2014 as Formigli, Inc. In December 2015, the Company changed its name to Data Backup, Inc., and on November 4, 2016, the Company changed its name to Data Backup Solutions Inc. On October 1, 2017, the Company changed its name to Cloudweb, Inc.
We are currently exploring different options of further developing and marketing our web hosting and data storage services. This includes plans to make hosting available for free while being supported by advertiser content. The Company will also look into white labeling its services to allow other brands to use our platforms for their own needs.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
These tiers include:
Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3: defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying value of cash, prepayments and the Company’s loan from shareholder approximates its fair value due to their short-term maturity.
Web Development Cost
In accordance with FASB ASC350-50 “Web Development Costs”, all costs incurred during the website planning stage are incurred. During the website application and infrastructure development stage, software tool costs and internet domain costs are capitalized, and website hosting costs are expensed. Cost incurred in the graphics development, content development and operating stage are generally expensed unless the costs are software related and should then be capitalized.
| F-7 |
| Table of Contents |
Share-based Expenses
ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services and non-employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Pursuant to ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits.
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the following convertible notes were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per shares as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive:

Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a CCF and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). With the adoption of ASU 2020-06, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature these debts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has chosen to early adopt this standard on January 1, 2021 financial statements and did not record BCF on the issuance of convertible notes with conversion rate below the Company’s market stock price on the date of note issuance.

| Table of Contents |
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company believes that its existing capital resources may not be adequate to enable it to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company estimates that it will require additional cash resources from loan from related party and unaffiliated parties based on its current operating plan and condition. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we fail to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, we may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAX
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income tax amount recorded as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (our chief executive officer), we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to our Company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.
Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for our Company.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2023, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:
| 11 |
| Table of Contents |
Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
Inadequate Segregation Of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
Lack Of Audit Committee & Outside Directors On The Company’s Board Of Directors: We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
Management, including our chief executive officer, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Except as provided above, there is no information to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this Form 10-K that has not been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Our common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(1) of the Exchange Act.
Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics in place for the Company. Our business operations are not complex and are very limited. Our Company seeks advice and counsel from outside experts such as our lawyers and accountants on matters relating to corporate governance and financial reporting.
Board and Committee Meetings
Our board of directors held no formal meetings during the year ended December 31, 2023. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Colorado Revised Statutes and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

Nomination Process
As of December 31, 2023, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our Company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our Company at the address on the cover of this annual report.
Audit Committee
Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not have a standing audit committee as we currently have limited working capital and minimal revenues. Should we be able to raise sufficient funding to execute our business plan, we will form an audit, compensation committee and other applicable committees utilizing our directors’ expertise.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not currently have a director who is qualified to act as the head of the audit committee.

_________________
(1) | Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on February 27, 2024. As of February 27, 2024, there were 27,819,385 shares of our Company’s common stock issued and outstanding. |
