PART I
| Item 1. | Business. |
General
KAT Exploration, Inc. (OTC “KATX”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 7, 1992 under the name Select Media Communications, Inc. The Company changed its name to In Full Affect, Inc. in February 2005, and then to Western Transitions, Inc. in May 2005 and then to KAT Exploration, Inc. in May 2009. The Company maintains its principal executive offices at 2313 Hollyhill Lane, Denton, TX 76205, Telephone Number 626-429-2780. KATX is authorized to issue 2,450,000,000 shares of common stock, .001 par value. The Company had 1,759,271,048 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at September 20, 2021.
The Company has had limited operations since November 30, 2015, and is a “shell company” as defined in Rule 13b-2 of the Exchange Act. Such operations consist of a search for appropriate transactions such as a merger, acquisition, reverse merger or other business combination with an operating business or other appropriate financial transaction. See “Current Business” below.
Current Business
Since November 30, 2015, the Company’s operations ceased. The company failed to maintain their OTC and SEC filings at that time. On June 19, 2021, Acropolis Capital Partners was granted the Custodian for KAT Exploration, Inc. (KATX). Acropolis is qualified to serve as custodian because it has satisfied the requirements of NRS 78.347(2). Ash has established a “reasonable likelihood of success” on the merits and that if the relief is not granted, KATX and its shareholders, including Ash will suffer “irreparable harm” because KATX is delinquent in its filing and reporting obligations with OTC Markets. Ryan Ash has appointed Caren Currier as Interim CEO to bring the company current and in good stanings while in of a search for a merger, acquisition, reverse merger or a business transaction opportunity with an operating business or other financial transaction; however, there can be no assurance that this plan will be successfully implemented. Until a transaction is effectuated, the Company does not expect to have significant operations. Accordingly, during this period we do not expect to achieve sufficient income to offset our operating expenses, resulting in operating losses that may require us to use and thereby reduce our limited cash balance. Until we complete a merger, reverse merger or other financial transaction, and unless interest rates increase dramatically, we expect to incur a loss of between $10,000 to $12,000 for the fourth quarter ending November 30, 2021 and thereafter of between $1,000 to $2,000 per quarter. The increase in fourth quarter expenses relates to a Company audit and 10-K filings. At this time, the Company has no binding arrangements with respect to any potential merger, acquisition, reverse merger or business combination candidate pursuant to which it may become an operating company.
Opportunities may come to KAT Exploration, Inc.’s attention from various sources, including its management, its stockholders, professional advisors, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. At this time, KAT Exploration, Inc. has no plans, understandings, agreements, or commitments with any individual or entity to act as a finder in regard to any business opportunities for it. While it is not currently anticipated that the Company will engage unaffiliated professional firms specializing in business acquisitions, reorganizations or other such transactions, such firms may be retained if such arrangements are deemed to be in the best interest of the Company. Compensation to a finder or business acquisition firm may take various forms, including one-time cash payments, payments involving issuance of securities (including those of the Company), or any combination of these or other compensation arrangements. Consequently, the Company is currently unable to predict the cost of utilizing such services.
The Company has not restricted its search to any particular business, industry, or geographical location. In evaluating a potential transaction, the Company analyzes all available factors and makes a determination based on a composite of available facts, without reliance on any single factor.
| 3 |
It is not possible at this time to predict the nature of a transaction in which the Company may participate. Specific business opportunities would be reviewed as well as the respective needs and desires of the Company and the legal structure or method deemed by management to be suitable would be selected. In implementing a structure for a particular transaction, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, tender offer, joint venture, license, purchase and sale of assets, or purchase and sale of stock, or other arrangement the exact nature of which cannot now be predicted. Additionally, the Company may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation or other form of organization. Implementing such structure may require the merger, consolidation or reorganization of KAT Exploration, Inc. with other business organizations and there is no assurance that the Company would be the surviving entity. In addition, the present management and stockholders of the Company may not have control of a majority of the voting shares of KAT Exploration, Inc. following reorganization or other financial transaction. As part of such a transaction, some or all of KAT Exploration, Inc.’s existing directors may resign and new directors may be appointed. The Company’s operations following its consummation of a transaction will be dependent on the nature of the transaction. There may also be various risks inherent in the transaction, the nature and magnitude of which cannot be predicted.
The Company may also be subject to increased governmental regulation following a transaction; however, it is not possible at this time to predict the nature or magnitude of such increased regulation, if any.
The Company does not have any arrangements with banks or financial institutions with respect to the availability of financing in the future.
The payment of any cash distributions is subject to the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. At this time the Company has no plans to pay any additional cash distributions in the foreseeable future.
Competition
KAT Exploration, Inc. is in direct competition with many other entities in its efforts to locate a suitable transaction. Included in the competition are business development companies, special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), venture capital firms, small business investment companies, venture capital affiliates of industrial and financial companies, broker-dealers and investment bankers, management consultant firms and private individual investors. Many of these entities possess greater financial resources and are able to assume greater risks than those which KAT Exploration, Inc. could consider. Many of these competing entities also possess significantly greater experience and contacts than KAT Exploration, Inc.’s management. Moreover, KAT Exploration, Inc. also competes with numerous other companies similar to it for such opportunities.
Employees and Consultants
The Company currently has one executive officers. Caren Currier serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Management of the Company expects to use consultants, attorneys and accountants as necessary, and it is not expected that KAT Exploration, Inc. will have any full-time or other employees, except as may be the result of completing a transaction.

General
The Company has limited operations and is actively seeking merger, reverse merger, acquisition or business combination opportunities with an operating business or other financial transaction opportunities. Until a transaction is effectuated, the Company does not expect to have significant operations. Accordingly, during such period, the Company does not expect to achieve sufficient income to offset its operating expenses, resulting in operating losses that may require the Company to use and thereby reduce its cash balance. For further information on the Company’s plan of operation and business, see Item I, Current Business. Until the Company completes a merger, reverse merger or other financial transaction, and unless interest rates increase dramatically, the Company expects to continue to incur a loss of between $10,000 to $12,000 for the fourth quarter ending November 30, 2021 and thereafter of between $1,000 to $2,000 per quarter. The increase in fourth quarter expenses relates to a Company audit and 10K filings.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| Item 9. | Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting And Financial Disclosure. |
None
| Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer who is also the Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period reported in this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”), concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company is accumulated and would be made known to them by others as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Principal Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Internal control over financial reporting including those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurances that the Company’s transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
| 8 |
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2020 and concluded that such internal controls are effective. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Controls – Integrated 1992 Framework.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
During the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2021, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART III
| Item 10. | Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance |
The directors and executive officers of the Company are as follows:
| Name | Age | Position | ||
Caren Currier |
58 | President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Director |
Caren Currier has served as Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and as a Director of the Company since June 2021. Caren has over 25 years of experience in accounting. Caren started her professional career helping her father with his construction company. While attending college, Caren was invited to intern with a CPA firm that had a number of construction firms as clients. This experience resulted in Caren's pursuit of a career in cost accounting. Caren Currier served as the Controller/CFO for the previous management of Zalemark Holding Company, an OTC company. We are pleased that Caren has decided to continue on in this capacity with our management team.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for establishing broad corporate policies and for overseeing our overall management. In addition to considering various matters which require board approval, the Board provides advice and counsel to, and ultimately monitors the performance of, our executive officer(s). All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected to serve, subject to the discretion of the Board, until their successors are appointed. The Company has not held an annual meeting of stockholders since 2003.
Board Leadership Structure
Ms. Currier is our Chief Executive Officer and leads our Board of Directors. We have not designated a lead independent director. We believe that this structure is appropriate for the Company at this time. Specifically, we believe that the current leadership structure provides leadership and engagement while we seek and evaluate opportunities. Because we do not currently have any operations, we believe the potential risks of concentration of authority are outweighed by the efficiency of having the same person serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.
Role of the Board in Risk Oversight
One of the key functions of our Board of Directors is informed oversight of our Company’s risk management processes. Our Board administers its oversight functions primarily through monitoring and assessing risks through its full membership rather than through standing committees, including assessing significant financial risks and risks of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Committees of the Board
Our Board of Directors does not have any committees. We believe this structure is appropriate in light of the Company’s current capital structure and level of operations. If the Company’s capital structure, level of operations or Board composition changes significantly, we intend to consider forming formal audit and/or compensation committees and to adopt appropriate written charters for such committees. Currently, however, there are no plans to appoint certain directors to specific committees. Until such time as an audit committee or compensation committee is formed, the full Board of Directors will continue to conduct the functions typically assigned to those committees.
| 10 |
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors and any of our executive officers.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
None of our directors are eligible to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act. If and when the Company commences operations and adds independent directors to serve on its board, it expects to add one or more such persons who qualify as “audit committee financial expert.”
Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a code of ethics. We believe this approach is appropriate in light of the Company’s current capital structure and level of operations, but we expect to continue to evaluate the appropriateness of adopting a code of ethics as our Company continues to develop.
Communication to the Board of Directors
You may contact our Board of Directors or any director by mail addressed to the attention of our entire Board or the specific director identified by name or title, at KAT Exploration, Inc. 2313 Hollyhill Lane, Denton, TX 76205 All communications will be submitted to our Board or the specified director on a periodic basis.
| Item 11. | Executive Compensation. |
For each of the fiscal years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company there was no direct compensation awarded to, earned by or paid by us to any of our executive officers.
Stock Options/SAR Grants
There were no (i) stock option/SARs grants, (ii) aggregated option/SAR exercises or (iii) long-term incentive plan awards in the fiscal years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020.
Compensation of Directors
All directors are eligible to receive a fee of $100 for each Board of Directors meeting attended.
The members of the Board as a group received no director fees covering the fiscal years ended November 30, 20210 and 2020. All Board meetings were held telephonically.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of KAT EXPLORATION, INC.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kat Exploration, Inc. (the "Company") as of November 30, 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows, for the year ended November 30, 2021, and the related notes collectively referred to as the "financial statements. The financial statement of Kat Exploration Inc. As of November 30, 2020, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 28, 2021, expressed an unqualify opinion on those statement.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern as disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statement, the Company has continuously incurred a net loss of $13,000 for the year ended November 30, 2021, and an accumulated deficit of $(2,636,371) at November 30, 2021. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through November 30, 2021, is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the company ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the 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 audits. 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 audits 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. Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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

KAT EXPLORATION, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2021
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Kat Exploration Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 7, 1997. For purposes of financial statements presentation,
The Company has limited operations and is actively seeking merger, acquisition or business combination opportunities with an operating business or other financial transaction opportunities. Until a transaction is effectuated, the Company does not expect to have significant operations. Accordingly, during such period, the Company does not expect to achieve sufficient income to offset its operating expenses, resulting in operating losses that may require the Company to use and thereby reduce its cash balance. 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.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial instruments included
in cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities for the instruments held. There were
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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. ASC Topic No. 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as described below:
Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates.
Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.
| F-6 |
The following required disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows: Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. The items are generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations of their fair values.
The carrying amounts of Notes Payable approximate the fair value as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
Income Taxes
We follow ASC 740-10-30, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which 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 fiscal 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 Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We adopted ASC 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”) with regard to uncertainty income taxes. ASC 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 ASC 740-10-25, we 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 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. We had no material adjustments to our liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. For the years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, the diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per shares as the inclusion of any potentially dilutive shares would result in anti- dilution due to the net loss incurred by the Company
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
| F-7 |
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern as disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statement, the Company has continuously
incurred a net loss of $
These factors raise substantial doubt about the company ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s deferred tax asset relates to net operating losses
that may be carried forward to future years. At November 30, 2021, the Company has available net operating losses of $
No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforwards will not be utilized. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forward are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The Company’s increase in valuation allowance of NIL during the year ended November 30, 2021, was recorded to offset the deferred tax benefit of the Company’s tax loss for the year.
The Company’s decrease in valuation of $NIL during the year ended November 30, 2021, was recorded to offset the deferred tax expense incurred during the year ended November 30, 2021, which was attributable to the change in the federal statutory rate which impacted the deferred tax asset associated with the Company’s net operating losses that can be utilized to offset future taxable income of the Company.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of:
| Schedule of income tax expense | November 30, 2021 | November 30, 2020 | ||||||
| Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | ||||||||
| Current Operations | $ | $ | ||||||
| Less: valuation allowance | ||||||||
| Net provision for Federal income taxes | $ | $ | ||||||
| F-8 |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the fiscal years ending, due to the following:
| Schedule of deferred income taxes | November 30, 2021 | November 30, 2020 | ||||||
| Deferred tax asset attributable to: | ||||||||
| Net operating loss carryover | $ | $ | ||||||
| Less: valuation allowance | ||||||||
| Net deferred tax asset | $ | $ | ||||||
As of November 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. As of November 30, 2021, the Company’s income tax returns generally remain open for examination for three years from the date filed with each taxing jurisdiction.
NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) management has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.
