Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2022
Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc (“TSR” or the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 24, 2016 as Beliss Corp. The Company changed its name to Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery Inc. on June 26, 2019.
TSR formed TSR Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, on August 22, 2019 as the Company’s operating vehicle to focus on the recovery of sunken treasure from historic shipwrecks. The Company was originally focused on the development of high impact internet marketing, search engine optimization (“SEO”) software and techniques, and the development of digital properties (collectively “Internet Marketing”).
On April 6, 2020, TSR formed TSR Media Group, Inc. (“TSR Media”), a wholly owned subsidiary, in order to develop various digital media properties. TSR Media is in the process of developing, through an outside app developer, a treasure search and salvage gaming app. TSR Media also entered into an agreement to purchase a domain called www.flavorfullapps.com and approximately 60 food related apps that are currently listed on Amazon.com, Blackberry World and Google Play.
Note 2 – GOING CONCERN
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net losses
since inception, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on its historical
rate of expenditures, the Company expects to expend its available cash in less than three months from March 17, 2022. Management’s
plans include raising capital through the equity markets to fund operations and, eventually, the generation of revenue through its business.
The Company does not expect to generate any significant revenues for the foreseeable future. At January 31, 2022, the Company had working
capital deficit of $
Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Covid-19 Disclosure
The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (“WHO”) in March 2020. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on TSR’s financial position, operations and cash flows.
Additionally, it is possible that the Company may face additional challenges in obtaining financing due to COVID-19’s effects on the general economy and the capital markets. If the Company is not able to obtain financing due to COVID-19, then it is highly likely that it will be forced to cease operations. The impact on smaller companies such as TSR of having to cease operations due to the effects of COVID-19 would likely result in the Company not being able to survive and would cause a complete loss of all capital invested in the Company.
To date, TSR has not suffered any significant setback due to COVID-19 interfering with operations.
Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. These consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the year ended April 30, 2021. The results of the nine months ended January 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending April 30, 2022.
8
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of TSR Holdings, Inc. and TSR Media, which are wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Significant estimates for the nine month periods ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 include the useful life of property and equipment, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and fair value of non cash equity transactions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
There
were no cash equivalents at January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) up to $
Research and Development Expenses
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer, Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract, Step 3: Determine the transaction price, Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Specifically, Section 606-10-50 requires an entity to provide information about: a. Revenue recognized from contracts with customers, including the disaggregation of revenue into appropriate categories; b. Contract balances, including the opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities; c. Performance obligations, including when the entity typically satisfies its performance obligations and the transaction price that is allocated to the remaining performance obligations in a contract; and d. Significant judgments, and changes in judgments, made in applying the requirements to those contracts.
For the Company’s service contracts, the services provided are considered to be one single performance obligation. Revenue and expenses are recognized as services are rendered. The average period for satisfying the performance obligation is three months. The Company can confirm that all the requirements are considered in these contracts:
1) The contracts with customers were identified;
2) The performance obligation was the creation of a website and the provision of SEO-optimization and other services for this site;
3) The transaction price was determined;
4) The Company has only one performance obligation, so the whole transaction price is related to this performance obligation;
5) The revenue was recognized when the performance obligation had been satisfied.
The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract.
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 260-10, which provides for the calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity.
The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the quarters ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, there were approximately 8,074,096 and 0 shares of common stock underlying our outstanding convertible notes payable and warrants, respectively.
9
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts payable, short term loans, and the Company’s related party loan from a shareholder approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of disposition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Currently the Company’s only assets are a diving vessel and a magnetometer which were purchased in fiscal year 2020 and are being depreciated over three to twelve year useful lives.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company uses market quotes, if available, or an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether or not the asset values are recoverable. The Company has not recognized impairment on its long-lived assets as of January 31, 2022.
Stock Based Compensation to Employees and Service Providers
The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees and service providers, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be 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) or immediately if the share-based payments vest immediately.
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. ASC 470-10 addresses classification determination for specific obligations, such as short-term obligations expected to be refinanced on a long-term basis, due-on-demand loan arrangements, callable debt, sales of future revenue, increasing rate debt, debt that includes covenants, revolving credit agreements subject to lock-box arrangements and subjective acceleration clauses. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.
Customer Deposits
Customer
deposits discloses an amount paid by a customer prior to the Company providing it with goods or services. The Company has an obligation
to provide the goods or services to the customer or to return the money. The Company had $
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
All other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

TSR Media Group, Inc. entered into an App Company and App Purchase agreement with an individual on February 12, 2020 to purchase a website, www.flavorfullapps.com as well as 50 related recipe and cooking apps. Under the original terms of the agreement TSR agreed to pay the individual 300,000 shares of restricted common stock. The agreement was amended on April 26, 2020 to increase the share amount paid for the website and apps to 600,000 shares of restricted common stock, reflecting the current market value of TSR’s share price as well as additional consideration for the individual assisting with redoing the website and consulting for new apps. The purchase of the website and associated apps was valued at $102,000 based on fair value of TSR’s shares on the date of the amended purchase agreement. During the year ended April 30, 2021, TSR Media Group, Inc. and the seller of the website and cooking apps entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement where the seller of the website and the related cooking apps agreed to unwind the original App Company and App Purchase agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, TSR agreed to give back the website and the cooking apps to the seller and the seller agreed to return 500,000 shares of restricted stock to TSR’s control for cancellation and to waive any claim to the 100,000 shares that had not yet been issued. At April 30, 2021, the Company wrote down the remaining balance of the website and cooking apps balance to $0 and recorded an impairment loss of $62,333.
Note 5 – PURCHASE OF TRADEMARK, GRAPHICS, RELATED MEDIA AND PRODUCT MATERIALS
The Company entered into a Trademark and Usage Purchase Agreement with Galleon Quest, LLC (“GQ”), a privately held limited liability company, on March 5, 2020.
Under the terms of the Trademark and Usage Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 1,200,000 shares of its restricted common stock to GQ in exchange for the acquisition of a registered trademark and all other developed graphics, including for gaming, web site and all other material for television, multimedia, gaming, food and products such as beverages, and all other issues. In addition, the Company agreed that GQ shall retain the right to ten percent of the gaming rights and five percent of the television media revenue, which shall be for rights of the gaming name rights, as used in all app, online or other gaming as owned by TSR and any television related media. All shares issued by both parties under the agreement have all rights and entitlements as the common stock of every other shareholder of such share class.
The purchase of the trademark and related graphics and materials was valued at $636,000 based on the fair value of TSR’s shares on the date of the Trademark and Usage Purchase Agreement.

The convertible notes payable are convertible into a fixed number of shares and with no down round protection features. The Company accounted for the beneficial conversion features based on the intrinsic value at the date of issuance. During the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and year ended April 30, 2021, the Company recognized beneficial conversion features totaling $400,000 and $250,000, respectively. The discount from the beneficial conversion features are being amortized through charges to interest expense over the term of the convertible notes payable. The Company recorded interest expense related to the amortization of debt discounts on these notes of $482,466 and $0 for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and the year ended April 30, 2021, respectively.
New Convertible Notes Payable Issued During the Nine Month Periods Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
On May 5, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with a corporation. The note payable, with a face value of $150,000, including a $15,000 original issue discount, bears interest at 10.0% per annum and is due on May 5, 2022. The convertible note payable is convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a fixed conversation rate of $0.10. The conversion of the note into shares of the Company’s common stock is potentially highly dilutive to current shareholders. If the note holder elects to sell the shares that it has acquired as a result of converting the note into shares of common stock, then any such sales may result in a significant decrease in the market price of the Company’s shares.
On May 7, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with a corporation. The note payable, with a face value of $100,000, including a $10,000 original issue discount, bears interest at 10.0% per annum and is due on May 7, 2022. The convertible note payable is convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a fixed conversation rate of $0.10. The conversion of the note into shares of the Company’s common stock is potentially highly dilutive to current shareholders. If the note holder elects to sell the shares that it has acquired as a result of converting the note into shares of common stock, then any such sales may result in a significant decrease in the market price of the Company’s shares.
On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with a corporation. The note payable, with a face value of $150,000, including a $15,000 original issue discount, bears interest at 10.0% per annum and is due on May 19, 2022.

The conversion of the note into shares of the Company’s common stock is potentially highly dilutive to current shareholders. If the note holder elects to sell the shares that it has acquired as a result of converting the note into shares of common stock, then any such sales may result in a significant decrease in the market price of the Company’s shares.
On December 6, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with a corporation. The note payable, with a face value of $70,666, including a $17,666 original issue discount, bears interest at 0.0% per annum and is due on March 6, 2022. The default interest rate is 15% if the note is not repaid within ninety days of the issue date, retroactive to the date of issuance. There was also $3,000 for legal fees included in the note balance. After the occurrence of any event of default, the convertible note payable is convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a fixed conversation rate of $0.10. The lender also received 282,667 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 for a period of five years from the date of the note. During the twelve months immediately following the Closing, with respect to each and any securities offering conducted by the Company, the Company agrees to, and hereby does, irrevocably grant to the Buyer the option to purchase up to $1,000,000 worth of the securities offered in such offering at the applicable offering prices thereunder. The conversion of the note into shares of the Company’s common stock is potentially highly dilutive to current shareholders. If the note holder elects to sell the shares that it has acquired as a result of converting the note into shares of common stock, then any such sales may result in a significant decrease in the market price of the Company’s shares.

Note 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Finder’s Agreement
In April of 2021, TSR entered into an agreement with a corporation that is a registered broker dealer. The term of the agreement is for 120 days. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a finder’s fee to the broker dealer upon receiving financing from any investor that was introduced by the broker dealer. The finder’s fee will be paid in cash equal to 5% (2% for pre-existing relationships) of the gross proceeds of an equity/convertible debt transaction and/or cash equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of a non convertible debt transaction. The Company also agreed to pay the broker dealer non callable warrants equal to 5% (2% pre existing relationships) warrant coverage of any financing received. The broker dealer will also be entitled to receive a fee of 6% for any licensing, joint venture or merger that results from an introduction made to the Company by the broker dealer. No fees will be paid unless the Company actually receives the financing. If during the twenty four month period following termination of the agreement, any party introduced enters into an agreement to purchase securities from the Company, then the Company will pay the finder’s fee.
Partnering Agreement
In April of 2021, TSR entered into an agreement with a limited liability company and an individual consultant who controls the limited liability company for both services and the rights to treasure that is successfully recovered in a known shipwreck area. The term of the agreement is for a minimum of one year. Under the terms of the agreement TSR and the consultant agreed:
1. That the consultant has rights as a third party to certain known treasure sites controlled through a third party. Such rights exist under such agreement between the consultant and the company owning such rights. The consultant has been working such site area for an extensive period, and has produced finds of artifacts, as well as other scanned, researched, and targeted areas for further search and recovery.
2. The consultant is agreeing to take capital in, as well as contributions of available and as available, boats, crew and equipment, which TSR may have in exchange for a percentage of recovery from such site, which the consultant is entitled to from recoveries made. TSR shall receive that portion set out below for such investment of funds.
3. The consultant, agreed to enter into a partnership for such shipwreck noted above where the consultant will work, in exchange for 25% of the net due to the consultant from finds made, during the time period of this agreement, in exchange for $50,000, payable in monthly amounts starting at the time of the first payment. Each payment of $10,000 shall entitle TSR to 5% of such net proceeds up to the 25% of the net due to the consultant. Such net, means that amount after the State of Florida proceeds, and the amount due to the owner of the shipwreck site. Such amount of investment shall entitle TSR to such share for a period to December 31, 2021. In addition, after a two month term of this agreement, TSR will award the consultant 100,000 common shares of restricted stock, and additional shares upon success at the discretion of TSR.

TSR shall also contribute, on a project and availability basis, for such operations, supporting vessels through TSR, to include the RV Bellows, with appropriate crew, and use for project site use, for survey use, etc. to support operations directed by the consultant on site from number 1 above, as well as addressed below. TSR shall have the right to contribute crew, technical, divers or other persons to observe and participate on such ventures.
5. Additional sites which may be identified by the consultant for future joint ventures which have not been explored, within or outside the state of Florida waters, where TSR shall provide capital and other materials, crew and vessels, to be agreed upon by the Parties, but wherein TSR if funding such ventures, shall be entitled to 50% of such finds, sites and artifacts.
Trademark and Usage Purchase Agreement Gaming and Media Rights Payments

Board of Directors Agreements
In September of 2021, the Company entered into agreements with two individuals to join on the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the Board of Directors Agreements, each of the Directors agreed to serve as an independent outside director of the Company and to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and to provide those services required of a director under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as both may be amended from time to time (“Articles and Bylaws”) and under Nevada law, the federal securities laws and other state and federal laws and regulations, as applicable.

During the term of this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Directors for reasonable, business related expenses approved by or as reasonably necessary for the Company, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. For his or her services as a Director of the Company, the Director shall receive the option for shares of the Company, to be earned at the value of $2,000 per month for such first two year term, at the lowest of conversion of such amount at $0.10 per share, or if such shares are publicly trading at over $0.50 per share for a period of over 30 trading days during such term, then such price value per share shall be adjusted to $0.25 per share. The Director shall also have the option to purchase such the same amount of shares in the same amount ($2,000 per month) accumulated during such term, and such option shall be able to be exercised within sixty days of the end of each calendar year.

Forward-looking statements
Statements made in this Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate” or “continue,” or the negative thereof. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Financial information contained in this report and in our financial statements is stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Description of Business
Treasure Shipwreck & Recovery, Inc. (“TSR”, “us,” “we,”, the “Company”) is focused, through its wholly owned subsidiary TSR Holdings, Inc., on the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks. The Company has acquired various assets including a research vessel and specialized sensing equipment to be utilized to attempt to locate and eventually recover artifacts and treasure from historic shipwrecks, generally from the colonial era. The Company has acquired the intellectual property rights in a purchase agreement for the naming, trademark and use rights of Galleon Quest, from a third party to be used on Games and Apps, and merchandising of products.
COVID-19 Pandemic Threat and Continuity Plan
Due to current events involving the global COVID-19 pandemic, TSR, under the guidance of its President, is reviewing procedures to monitor current events as they relate to our business and to be prepared to respond to any potential threats or issues in order to protect the Company and its assets. We are also in the process of reviewing plans to locate a back office for our corporate records and information at a location to be designated so that in the event that access to the Company’s offices are restricted, the Company is able to continue with its business and operations.
The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (“WHO”) in March 2020. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the TSR’s financial position, operations and cash flows.
Possible effects may include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s operations, inability of management team members and other key personnel and consultants to provide services or provide services in a timely manner, unavailability of equipment, parts and supplies used in operations, lack of access to maintenance and repair facilities for the Company’s salvage vessel, and a decline in the value of the Company’s assets including its salvage vessel, equipment and its digital properties.
Additionally, it is possible that the Company is not able to obtain financing due to COVID-19’s effects on the general economy and the capital markets. If the Company is not able to obtain financing due to COVID-19 then it is highly likely that it will be forced to cease its operations. The impact of smaller companies such as TSR having to cease operations due to effects of COVID-19 would likely result in the Company not being able to survive and would cause a complete loss of all capital invested in the Company.
Results of operations
We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our consolidated 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. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. Based on its historical rate of expenditures, the Company expects to expend its available cash in less than one month from March 17, 2022.

Other Income (Expenses)
Interest expense was $574,905 during the nine month period ended January 31, 2022. There was no interest expense during the same period in 2021. The interest expense in 2022 was a result of interest on notes and the amortization of the interest relating to the beneficial conversion features of several convertible promissory notes.

Summary of the Three Months Ended January 31, 2022 Results of Operations Compared to the Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2021 Results of Operations
Revenue
The Company did not generate any revenue during the three month periods ended January 31, 2022 and 2021.

The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2022 is attributable to a decrease in professional fees and depreciation expense. The decrease in professional fees was due to fees for accounting and consulting that were accrued.
Other Income (Expenses)
Interest expense was $222,525 during the three month period ended January 31, 2022. There was no interest expense during the same period in 2021. The interest expense in 2022 was a result of interest on notes and the amortization of the interest relating to the beneficial conversion features of several convertible promissory notes.

For the three month period ended January 31, 2022 the Company incurred net losses of $316,689 versus net losses of $132,795 for the three month period ended January 31, 2021. The increased net loss is a result of increased interest expense in the three months ended January 31, 2022.
Liquidity and capital resources
As at January 31, 2022, our total assets were $693,331.
As at January 31, 2022, our current liabilities were $696,945 and stockholders’ deficit was $3,614.
As of January 31, 2022, we had a net working capital deficit of $675,890.
17
Cash flows from operating activities
For the nine month period ended January 31, 2022 net cash flows used in operating activities was $589,706.
For the nine month period ended January 31, 2021 net cash flows used in operating activities was $286,701.
The increase in cash used in operating activities is attributable to increased interest expense.

Cash flows from financing activities
For the nine month period ended January 31, 2022 cash flows provided by financing activities were $413,000.
For the nine month period ended January 31, 2021 cash flows provided by financing activities were $302,455.
The increase in cash provided by financing activities is attributable to increased proceeds from the sale of convertible loans.
We qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.
For example, smaller reporting companies are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or the auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of the Company’s common shares in order to continue to fund business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing shareholders. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned operations. Future financing activities involving the sale of common stock under subscription agreements or entering into convertible promissory note agreements may cause substantial dilution to current shareholders. The Company has retained counsel and an outside sponsoring brokerage in September, 2021, for the preparation of a Reg-A for a financial raise which terms have not been set as of yet.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Cash Requirements
As of the date of this report, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. At January 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $675,890. The Company is in immediate need of further working capital and is seeking options, with respect to financing, in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof. Based on its historical rate of expenditures, the Company expects to expend its available cash in less than six months from March 17, 2022.
The Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent auditors for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it is highly likely that all capital invested in the Company will be lost.
Management believes that current trends toward lower capital investment in start-up companies pose the most significant challenge to the Company’s success over the next year and in future years. Additionally, the Company will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. The Company’s management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement its business plan and impede the speed of its operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Responsibility for Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting. The Company’s controls over financial reporting are designed under the supervision of the Company’s President and Principal Financial Officer to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of January 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and reporting of financial information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of January 31, 2022, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and based on the criteria for effective internal control described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (as revised). Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and reporting of financial information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
The management including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures, or its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
The Company has limited resources and as a result, a material weakness in financial reporting currently exists, because of our limited resources and personnel, including those described below.
| * | The Company has an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. | |
| * | We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions. | |
| * | We do not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is managements view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit committee financial expert is an important entity-level control over the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
A material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard 5) or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that a material weakness exists due to a lack of segregation of duties, resulting from the Company’s limited resources and personnel.
19
Remediation Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As a result of these findings, management, upon obtaining sufficient capital and operations, intends to take practical, cost-effective steps in implementing internal controls, including the possible remedial measures set forth below. As of January 31, 2022, we did not have sufficient capital and/or operations to implement any of the remedial measures described below.
| * | Assessing the current duties of existing personnel and consultants, assigning additional duties to existing personnel and consultants, and, in a cost effective manner, potentially hiring additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements to allow for proper segregation of duties, as well as additional resources for control documentation. | |
| * | Assessing the duties of the existing officers of the Company and, in a cost effective manner, possibly promote or hire additional personnel to diversify duties and responsibilities of such executive officers. | |
| * | Board to review and make recommendations to shareholders concerning the composition of the Board of Directors, with particular focus on issues of independence. The Board of Directors will consider nominating an audit committee and audit committee financial expert, which may or may not consist of independent members. | |
| * | Interviewing and potentially hiring outside consultants that are experts in designing internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (as revised). |
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
