Item 1. Description of Business
Overview
NAPC Defense, Inc. (Formerly Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc (“NAPC Defense, Inc.” 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. The Company is in the colonial era treasure shipwreck recovery business operating salvage crews on the east coast of Florida. On April 1, 2024, the Company changed its name to NAPC Defense, Inc. with the State of Nevada, for an additional direction in the military arms and law enforcement field.
Corporate History
NAPC Defense, Inc. (Formerly Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc.), 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. The Company was centered in the colonial era treasure shipwreck recovery business operating salvage crews on the east coast of Florida. On April 1, 2024, the Company changed its name to NAPC Defense, Inc. with the State of Nevada, for an additional direction in the military arms and law enforcement field. The Company will produce and supply CornerShot units under license from Silver Shadow of Israel, to both overseas military and governments as allowed by the US Government, and sales to US based law enforcement agencies. As well the Company intends and has direct lines of sourcing personal ballistics protection for personnel, such as helmets, bullet resistant vests and shields for overseas sale and domestic sale to US entities. In addition, the Company will use contacts and sources for the sale of small caliber arms in form of rifles and pistols including newly developing technologies and products for overseas and domestic sales. Other areas of brokering existing contacts from overseas of larger scale ammunition and artillery from overseas sources is being followed from known sources of supply for brokered sales to US approved allies and other countries. The brokering of armored vehicles for domestic purchase and overseas sales is also being pursued.
Exploration and Salvage of Historic Shipwrecks
During three seasons of treasure recovery operations the Company had contracted with entities for recoveries on 1715 fleet and other or ancient wreck sites along the coast of Florida. Thus, during the 2023 search season, recoveries were made of limited quantities of artifact finds during the treasure season. NAPC Defense, Inc. continued the pursuit of aa reality or other series during this fiscal year.
For the 2023 Treasure recovery season, the Company purchased a treasure recovery vessel and support vessel in March 2023. The 36’ foot vessel is outfitted with prop blowers for bottom removal, and numerous technologies for search and diving. The vessel was used for operations in the 1715 fleet area. the Company still owns the 71’ foot research vessel the Bellows which is still used for research
For the 2023 Summer Season the Company contracted with entities for recoveries on 1715 fleet and other or ancient wreck sites along the coast of Florida. The value of the found artifacts and treasure will be assessed at distribution time, sometime in the fall of 2024.
The Company is still actively pursuing a television or other media for a reality treasure hunting show which is in negotiations presently for development if feasible. the Company intends to own such production and rights for sale and distribution if it occurs.
Salvage of historic shipwrecks is both very speculative and risky as the Company worked through the last three treasure seasons off the East Coast of Florida. The Company still maintains information and expertise on locations of treasure sites, which it is marketing to other companies and players in the treasure business.
During the period of January 2024, the Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest to explore a new business opportunity which existed for the change in business focus to take advantage of new business opportunities in a defense related industry, while maintaining treasure operations. The Company entered into diligence, enquiry, exploration and negotiations for acquisition and rights for defense related technology and rights with a known party.
3
By March 2024, the board determined and entered into an acquisition agreement for the acquisition of the rights, intellectual property, and associated contracts, letters of intent, and assets from Native American Pride Constructors, LLC for acquisition of certain rights to sale and production of the CornerShot firearms and surveillance technology, owned by Silver Shadow of Israel and licensed to Native American Pride Constructors LLC (Native American), and other associated leads and rights into the defense industry, including munitions brokering overseas under United Stated State Department Approval for artillery, rocket, and other munitions sales from off shore sources to U.S. approved allies and other countries. Native American held rights to a number of ATF licenses for sale and production of arms, was a party to a transaction for potential contract and sale of the Cornershot to Saudi Arabia and for sale in the US, and held large access to broker munitions under US approval overseas, from foreign sourced to US Allies and approved countries.
In addition other defense lines of technology development including small arms, suppressor technology development business, and other items of opportunity held by Native American Pride Contstructors LLC, the board determined that an acquisition agreement of such rights was in the best interest of the Company to pursue as an additional business direction while maintaining its treasure related business. Such agreement was reached on March 26, 2024, however, was subject to further diligence and verification of the list of acquired rights and business plans with a close out date of May 1, 2024 and sign off by NAPC Defense, Inc./BLIS by the CEO for release of the consideration to be made for the purchase of such rights. The board concluded that the addition of this business direction was in the best interest of the Company, regardless of the specific acquisition transaction closing. Pursuant to the March 26, 2024 agreement such acquisition of rights was made for 95,000,000 shares of common stock to be distributed upon approval by NAPC Defense, Inc../BLIS to enumerated parties at such time being May 1, 2024 or after. Such shares were not to be distributed to Native American upon release, so there was no change in control to Native American. There was an acquisition of such rights, intellectual property, sales leads, letters of intent, contract rights and leads, and other matters set forth in such agreement to gain the rights from Native American Pride and change the Company’s name to its new defense line of work to NAPC Defense, Inc. but still maintain the treasure business on a more limited basis.
Such shares were subject to release by the Company upon approval of the business lines, by the then current but now former CEO and Director. Such shares did not cause a change in ownership control by any majority shareholder and have been under the rights as set forth in the acquisition agreement. The matters of diligence to be completed for the acquisition completion were as follows:
Items acquired for NAPC Defense, Inc. on acquisition made, including
| ● | CornerShot rights for sale, domestically and through Saudi Arabia as existing with Silver Shadow of Israel, including the LOI for the CornerShot sale for Saudi Arabia from the Ministry of Defense, which is expected, for an expected order and contract for some 37,000 units of the CornerShot firearms and tactical units to Saudi Arabia as held by Native American Pride for the Silver Shadow of Israel, amount owed for Saudi Arabian payment potential under a contract if transacted. Such rights include the ability to contract and utilize the ATF licenses held for production and sale of firearms and accessories related to such technology under contract with NAPC Defense, Inc./BLIS, and existing approvals from the Department of State for foreign arms transactions, an existing or expected approval for firearms under approval from the Saudi Government. As well this includes the existing relationship with the Saudi Ministry of Defense for interest in the CornerShot purchase, including the relationship and visits expected for closing of such contract. Rights to the proceeds from the joint venture in Saudi Arabia for such introductions and potential future sales, visit to occur in Saudi Arabia, and domestic US sales potentials, including domestic law enforcement shows, conventions and US Military demonstration. |
| ● | In addition, the ability and agreements to produce the CornerShot domestically in the United States which includes a current plastics manufacturer relationship and metals production relationship, both to be contracted, for such units of the CornerShot to be produced for all contracts or purchase orders which could be achieved. Including planned showings of the technology at planned conventions and conferences in Florida in June 2024, and in New Jersey in June 2024 and the visit for Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2024. |
| ● | Rights as existing to the CornerShot from Silver Shadow of Israel. To include the foreign sales to Saudi Arabia created by persons related to Native American, as well as domestic sales to law enforcement or government agencies in the United States. To include all media, CornerShot units, additional show and demonstration units, videos, and other rights. |
| ● | Overseas brokering opportunities of ammunition sales to US Allies, with State Dept. the DDTC (Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, a government agency within the United States Department of State) as a registered broker the ability to request pre-brokering approval. This includes the sources and leads existing to large scale munitions inventories from third parties, including those on a revolving list that is held by parties which are available overseas for sale, to approved countries and end users. This includes all contacts and relations to overseas producers, holders, and potential purchasers of large-scale munitions sales for such areas as Allied and US military or foreign add to Ukraine. These leads and brokering needed confirmation as to available inventories from owners overseas by the Company through relations created with the new operations. The amounts and the available rolling catalogues of available munitions and sources were subject to review and approval for final distribution. The verification was to be made as of or after May 1, 2024, through the former CEO with his experience and knowledge. |
| ● | Verification for ability to design, manufacture and sell new items and lines of firearms and accessories to include but not be limited to rifles, small arms, ammunition, and accessories. the Company had additional information and contacts and will use the abilities of production and sales under the Native American Pride permits to conduct such study of new technologies, firearms, production, prototyping knowledge, and sales rights as necessary. |

Thus on April 1, 2024 there was the change in officers and directors, which was made for an additional new segment of the Company into the defense and law enforcement business. Pursuant to the Board of Directors resolution there was no change in control of the Issuer to any party. The change in officers and directors was made to include the following for the change in the main direction of the Company: The Agreement was entered into without abandoning the treasure and recovery business, while the board made a change in officers and directors. There was no change in control of the Company.
Thus, pursuant to the Board of Directors intent for the new addition of a business line for defense, it was decided and concluded that as of April 1, 2024, Craig A. Huffman, Patrick Scheider, and Frederick Conte, resigned as officer and directors, with Craig A. Huffman to continue as Secretary and Chief Legal Officer for the Corporation while overseeing and approval of the acquisition, overseeing corporate compliance, contracting and numerous other matters on a continuing basis. The board appointed Edward K. West as Director and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen L. Gurba as President and Director, Evelyn R. Gurba as director, Derrick West as director, and John Spence as director and Chief Financial Officer.
As of April 1, 2024, the Company determined the new business priority would best be reflected by a change in the name to NAPC Defense, which was reflected by a change of the Corporate name in the State of Nevada to NAPC Defense, Inc. Additional changes were made subsequently with the State of Florida for business registration, the SEC, and is in process for OTCMarkets.com.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Market Information
Our common stock is presently quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “BLIS”, as reflected below, though the current trading volume is small. No assurance can be given that any market for our common stock will continue in the future or be maintained. If an “established trading market” ever develops in the future, the sale of “restricted securities” (common stock) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission by members of management, consultants, promissory note holders or others may have a substantial adverse impact on any such market and the sale of restricted securities by management or others may significantly depress the market price of the Company’s shares. There is currently a limited trading market for our securities on the Pink Sheets. We cannot assure when and if an active-trading market in our shares will be established, or whether any such market will be sustained or sufficiently liquid to enable holders of shares of our common stock to liquidate their investment in our company. If an active public market should develop in the future, the sale of unregistered and restricted securities by current shareholders may potentially have a substantial negative impact on any such market. The Company’s share price is quoted on the Pink Sheets. Accordingly, an investment in our securities should only be considered by those investors who do not require liquidity and can afford to suffer a total loss of their investment. An investor should consider consulting with professional advisers before making such an investment. Furthermore, the price of our common stock may be subject to a very high degree of volatility, which makes owning shares of our common stock highly risky. Shareholders may find it to be very difficult to deposit our shares into a brokerage account and should consult with a financial advisor before purchasing NAPC Defense Inc.’s shares.
Our stock price fluctuated between $0.0440 and $0.0044 for the year ended April 30, 2024 and $0.06 and $0.01 for the year ended April 30, 2023. The price of our shares may fluctuate significantly despite the absence of any apparent reason. In addition, our stock is thinly traded, leading to even greater volatility. You should expect this volatility to continue into the foreseeable future.
The following table reflects the high and low prices of our stock for each quarter during the periods ended April 30, 2024 and 2023:
| Quarter Ended | High Price | Low Price | ||
| July 31, 2022 | 0.06 | 0.02 | ||
| October 31, 2022 | 0.04 | 0.02 | ||

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide a narrative of our financial results and an evaluation of our financial condition and results of operations. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. A description of our business is discussed in Item 1 of this report, which contains an overview of our business as well as the status of our ongoing project operations.

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 August 13, 2024.
Summary of the Year Ended April 30, 2024 Results of Operations Compared to the Year Ended April 30, 2023 Results of Operations
Revenue
The Company recorded revenue of $0 and $85,000 and during the years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue in 2023 is due to the Company granting an exclusive license to use photographic and video rights of the Company’s treasure recovery activities for use to publicize non-fungible token sales as well as appearances by the Company persons for such publication and sales.
Operating Expenses
During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company incurred consulting and accounting expense of $248,722, labor expense of $73,992, professional fees of $14,300, legal fees of $17,040, boat expense of $108,499, rent expense of $9,600, general and administrative expense of $94,345 and depreciation expense of $17,222.
During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company incurred consulting and accounting expense of $148,807, labor expense of $24,218, professional fees of $75,862, legal fees of $75,363, boat expense of $127,455, research and development of $8,349, general and administrative expense of $80,054 and depreciation expense of $8,914.
The increase in operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2024 is attributable to increased consulting and accounting expense of $99,915, increased labor expenses of $49,744, increased general and administrative expense of $14,291 and increased depreciation of $8,308, which is a result of more exploration activity during the year ended April 30, 2024.
Other Expenses
Total other expenses were $128,266 during the year ended April 30, 2024 and $477,103 during the year ended April 30, 2023. Other expenses in 2024 and 2023 were due to interest expenses. The interest expense was a result of interest on notes and the amortization of the interest relating to the beneficial conversion features of several convertible promissory notes. Other expenses were down in 2024 due to the conversion of multiple notes and the commensurate decrease in interest expenses related to the notes.
Net Loss
For the year ended April 30, 2024 the Company incurred net losses of $711,986 versus net losses of $941,125, for the year ended April 30, 2023. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to decreased interest expenses in 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Cash Requirements
Liquidity and capital resources
As at April 30, 2024, our total assets were $1,759,732.
As at April 30, 2024, our current liabilities were $1,045,060 and stockholders’ equity was $714,672.
As of April 30, 2024, we had a net working capital deficit of $1,045,060.
Cash flows from operating activities
For the year ended April 30, 2024 net cash flows used in operating activities was $340,738.
For the year ended April 30, 2023 net cash flows used in operating activities was $424,056.
The decrease in cash used in operating activities is attributable to decreased interest and boat expenses.
Cash flows from investing activities
For the year ended April 30, 2024 net cash flows used in investing activities was $0. For the year ended April 30, 2023 net cash flows used in investing activities was $148,225.
7
The decrease in net cash flows used in investing activities was attributable to the purchase of two additional vessels during 2023, with no purchases in 2024.
Cash flows from financing activities
For the year ended April 30, 2024 cash flows provided by financing activities were $134,016.
For the year ended April 30, 2023 cash flows provided by financing activities were $732,000.
The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is attributable to decreased proceeds from the sale of common stock.
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 and a significant decline in the price of our stock.
The Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent auditors for the years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors believe, based on our financial results as of April 30, 2024, that such results raised substantial doubts about the Company’s 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.
Limited operating history; need for additional capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in a start-up stage of operations and have generated very negligible revenues since inception. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
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 does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

F-1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
NAPC Defense, Inc.
(formerly Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc.)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of NAPC Defense, Inc. (the Company) as of April 30, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2024, and the related notes and schedules (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 April 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception. These factors, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
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 required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

These factors, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 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 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue Recognition
As described in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, including licensing revenue. To determine whether the Company’s promise to provide a right to access its intellectual property or a right to use its intellectual property, the Company considers the nature of the intellectual property to which the customer will have rights.
We identified the Company’s application of revenue recognition as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination of this critical audit matter related to the high degree of subjectivity in the Company’s judgments in determining the qualitative factors. Auditing these judgments and assumptions by the Company involves auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit evidence and effort required to address these matters.
The primary procedures we performed to address these critical audit matters included the following:
| ● | We obtained the licensing agreement and management’s assessment of ASC 606 and performed the following procedures: | |||
| - | Reviewed the licensing agreement for relevant terms. | |||
| - | Reviewed management’s assessment and conclusion of ASC 606 in relation to the licensing agreement and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s application of their accounting policies in the determination of the revenue to be recognized. | |||
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| Years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 |
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. The Company changed its name to NAPC Defense, Inc. in April 2024.
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”).
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 one month from August 13, 2024. 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 April 30, 2024, the Company had a net
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 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.
Convertible Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default
The Company does not have additional sources of debt or equity financing to refinance or pay off its convertible notes payable that are currently in default. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral for the obligations arising under the secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to significantly scale back or cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company.
The convertible notes that have been issued by the Company are convertible at the lender’s option. These convertible notes represent significant potential dilution to the Company’s current shareholders. As such when these notes are converted into equity there is typically a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s common stock.
See Note 5 – Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable, for further information regarding the Company’s convertible notes payable and notes that are currently in default.
Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting policies of NAPC Defense, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s year-end is April 30.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of NAPC Defense Holdings, Inc. and NAPC Defense Media Group, Inc., 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 years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 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 original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
There
were no cash equivalents at April 30, 2024 and $206,722 at April 30, 2023. 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 $
F-9
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.
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.
Licensing Revenue
The Company recognizes licensing revenue under ASC 606-10-55-59. In order to determine whether the Company’s promise to provide a right to access or to use its intellectual property, the Company should consider the nature of the intellectual property to which the customer will have rights. Intellectual property is either:
| a. | Functional intellectual property. Intellectual property that has significant standalone functionality (for example, the ability to process a transaction, perform a function or task, or be played or aired). Functional intellectual property derives a substantial portion of its utility (that is, its ability to provide benefit or value) from its significant standalone functionality. |
| b. | Symbolic intellectual property. Intellectual property that is not functional intellectual property (that is, intellectual property that does not have significant standalone functionality). Because symbolic intellectual property does not have significant standalone functionality, substantially all of the utility of symbolic intellectual property is derived from its association with the entity’s past or ongoing activities, including its ordinary business activities. |
Intellectual property that has significant standalone functionality is functional IP. Functional IP is a right to use IP because the IP has standalone functionality and the customer can use the IP as it exists at a point in time.
All of the Company’s revenue in 2023 consists of revenue pursuant to a Media Use and License Agreement, which was determined to be Functional IP.
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss. As of April 30, 2024 and 2023, there were approximately and shares of common stock underlying our outstanding convertible notes payable and warrants, respectively.
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 convertible 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 three diving vessels and a magnetometer. They are being depreciated over three to twelve year useful lives.
F-10
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. Identified intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
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 consolidated 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.

Note 5 – NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
Related Party Convertible Loan
An officer of the Company provided
a loan to NAPC Defense, Inc., under a convertible promissory note in the year ended April 30, 2022. This convertible promissory note
is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and is convertible into common shares of the Company stock at $2.75 per share and due on demand.
The balance due to the officer was $
On
April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with an individual who is a member of the Company’s Board of
Directors. The convertible note payable, with a face value of $
On August 1, 2023, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with an individual who is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The note payable, with a face value of $50,000, bears interest at 10.0% per annum and is due on August 1, 2024. The convertible note payable is convertible upon default, at the note holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a fixed conversion rate of $0.01. 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 February 1, 2024 the Company entered into a Master Convertible Corporate Note Agreement with Native American Price, LLC. Native American Pride, LLC advanced $63,791 to NAPC Defense, Inc. during the year ended April 30, 2024 to cover various operating expenses. The loan balance is convertible into the shares of NAPC Defense, Inc. at the discretion of the Native American Price, LLC at a rate of $0.03 per share. The note does not pay interest and there is no specific time frame for repayment of the principal balance. At April 30, 2024 the balance owed on the note was $63,791.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
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 April 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and report 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 financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of April 30, 2024, 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 report financial information required to be included on our 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 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 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 management’s 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 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.

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 April 30, 2024, 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 annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
(b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company has not made any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended April 30, 2024.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.
PART III
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons of the Company
Directors of the Company are elected by the shareholders to a term of one year and serve until their successors are replaced by the Board, or elected and qualified. Officers of the Company are appointed by the Board of Directors to a term of one year or longer under any agreement and serve until their successors are duly appointed and qualified, or until the officer is removed from office. The Board of Directors has no nominating, auditing or compensation committees.
The name, age and position of the company officers and director is set forth below:
| Name | Age | Position | Since | |||
| Edward K. West | age 64 | Chief Executive Officer and Director | since appointment of March 26, 2024 | |||
| John Spence | age 33 | Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Company | March 26, 2024 | |||
| Stephen L. Gurba | age 67 | President and Director | March 26, 2024 | |||
| Evelyn Gurba | age 60 | Outside Director | March 26, 2026 | |||
| Derrick West | age 42 | Director | March 26, 2024 |
Corporate Governance
The Company does not have a compensation committee and it does not have an audit committee financial expert. It does not have a compensation committee because its Board of Directors consists of only one director whom is not independent, as he is also an officer. There is no independent audit committee financial expert because it is believed the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive due to the current circumstances of the Company. Further, because there are only minimal operations at the present time, it is believed the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
10
Conflicts of Interest
The Company does not currently foresee any conflict of interest.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the company directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company’s common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of its common stock. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. The Company intends to ensure to the best of its ability that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are complied with in a timely fashion.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
