NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
Next Meats Holdings, Inc. (we, us, our, or the "Company"), formerly known as Turnkey Solutions, Inc., was incorporated on April 15, 2020 in the State of Nevada.
On April 15, 2020, Paul Moody was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of the Company, at the time known as “Turnkey Solutions, Inc.”
On October 1, 2020, the Company, at the time known as “Turnkey Solutions, Inc.” (the “Company” or “Successor”) announced on Form 8-K plans to participate in a holding company reorganization (“the Reorganization” or “Merger”) with Intermedia Marketing Solutions, Inc. (“IMMM” or “Predecessor”) and Intermedia Marketing Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) collectively (the “Constituent Corporations”) pursuant to NRS 92A.180, NRS A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250. Immediately prior to the Reorganization, the Company was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of Intermedia Marketing Solutions, Inc. and Intermedia Marketing Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The effective date and time of the Reorganization was October 28, 2020 at 4PM PST (the “Effective Time”). The entire plan of Merger is on file with Nevada Secretary of State (“NSOS”) and included in the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 Nevada Secretary of State (“NSOS”) and attached to and made a part thereof to the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 filed with NSOS on October 16, 2020. At the Effective Time, Predecessor merged with and into its indirect and wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub with Predecessor as the surviving corporation resulting in Predecessor as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Concurrently and after the Effective Time, the Company cancelled all of its stock held in Predecessor resulting in the Company as a stand-alone and separate entity with no subsidiaries, no assets and negligible liabilities. The assets and liabilities of Predecessor, if any, remain with Predecessor. The Company has abandoned the business plan of its Predecessor and resumed its former business plan of a blank check company after completion of the Merger.
Full details pertaining to the Reorganization can be viewed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on October 29, 2020.
On November 18, 2020 our former controlling shareholder, Flint Consulting Services, LLC sold 35,000,000 shares of common stock to Next Meats Co., Ltd a Japan Company. Collectively, the majority shareholders of Next Meats Co., Ltd are comprised of Ryo Shirai, Hideyuki Sasaki, and Koichi Ishizuka.

On the same day, November 18, 2020, Paul Moody resigned from his position of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
Simultaneous to Paul Moody’s resignations Ryo Shirai was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Hideyuki Sasaki as our Chief Operating Officer and Director, and Koichi Ishizuka as our Chief Financial Officer.
On January 8, 2021 our majority shareholder, Next Meats Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, along with our Board of Directors, comprised of Mr. Koichi Ishizuka, Mr. Ryo Shirai, and Mr. Hideyuki Sasaki, took action to ratify, affirm, and approve a name change of the Company from Turnkey Solutions, Inc., to Next Meats Holdings, Inc.

This was previously disclosed in the Form 8-K we filed on January 25, 2021.
Also on January 8, 2021, our majority shareholder Next Meats Co., Ltd., along with our Board of Directors took action to ratify, affirm, and approve a change of the Company’s ticker symbol from TKSI to NXMH.

On June 9, 2021 the Company entered into a “Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement” (referred to herein as “the Agreement”) with Next Meats Co., Ltd.
Next Meats Co., Ltd. is a Japanese Company that operates in the “alternative meat” industry.

Pursuant to the agreement, at the effective time of the agreement, NXMH acquired NMCO as a wholly owned subsidiary and commensurate with this action, there was a conversion of the NXMH Percentile Share Interest in exchange for the Company’s 100% percentile share interest in NMCO. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (defined below) each NMCO shareholder canceled and exchanged their percentile share interest in NMCO for an equivalent percentile share interest in NXMH pursuant to each NMCO shareholder’s pro rata percentage.
On or about September 17, 2021, we incorporated NextMeats France, a French entity, which will act as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Financial Statements In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the unaudited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the 2021 Annual Report, have been omitted.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021 were $680,909 and $7,210,200, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized at January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021.
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments as of January 31, 2022 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
- Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2022. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accrued expenses.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
The Company had no stock-based compensation plans as of January 31, 2022.
The Company’s stock-based compensation for the periods ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021 were $0 and $5,880,579,874, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 is amended by ASU 2018-01, ASU2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01, which FASB issued in January 2018, July 2018, July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019, respectively (collectively, the amended ASU 2016-02). The amended ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from current GAAP. The amended ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases (i.e. capital leases under current GAAP) and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases will be substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under current GAAP. The amended ASU 2016-02 also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition approach is permitted to be used when an entity adopts the amended ASU 2016-02, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply.
We have no assets and or leases and do not believe we will be impacted in the foreseeable future by the newly adopted accounting standard(s) mentioned above.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
-F5-
Note 3 - Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.
The Company has not recorded enough revenue to cover its operating costs. We expect our wholly-owned subsidiary, NextMeats France, to begin operations in the next fiscal quarter which we expect will produce revenue to cover at least some operating costs. We also expect our wholly-owned subsidiary, Next Meats Japan Co. Ltd to improve its operating income in the next fiscal quarter. However, management plans to fund some operating expenses with related party contributions to capital until there is sufficient revenue to cover all operating expenses. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Note 4 - Income Taxes
The Company has not recognized an
income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future
periods. The tax benefit for the period presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising
from the net operating losses, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits
and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.
As of January 31, 2022, the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $
Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of January 31, 2022.

Company Overview
Corporate History
Next Meats Holdings, Inc. (we, us, our, or the "Company"), formerly known as Turnkey Solutions, Inc., was incorporated on April 15, 2020 in the State of Nevada.
On April 15, 2020, Paul Moody was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of the Company, at the time known as “Turnkey Solutions, Inc.”.
On October 1, 2020, the Company, at the time known as “Turnkey Solutions, Inc.” (the “Company” or “Successor”) announced on Form 8-K plans to participate in a holding company reorganization (“the Reorganization” or “Merger”) with Intermedia Marketing Solutions, Inc. (“IMMM” or “Predecessor”) and Intermedia Marketing Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) collectively (the “Constituent Corporations”) pursuant to NRS 92A.180, NRS A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250. Immediately prior to the Reorganization, the Company was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of Intermedia Marketing Solutions, Inc. and Intermedia Marketing Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The effective date and time of the Reorganization was October 28, 2020 at 4PM PST (the “Effective Time”). The entire plan of Merger is on file with Nevada Secretary of State (“NSOS”) and included in the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 Nevada Secretary of State (“NSOS”) and attached to and made a part thereof to the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 filed with NSOS on October 16, 2020. At the Effective Time, Predecessor merged with and into its indirect and wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub with Predecessor as the surviving corporation resulting in Predecessor as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Concurrently and after the Effective Time, the Company cancelled all of its stock held in Predecessor resulting in the Company as a stand-alone and separate entity with no subsidiaries, no assets and negligible liabilities. The assets and liabilities of Predecessor, if any, remain with Predecessor. The Company has abandoned the business plan of its Predecessor and resumed its former business plan of a blank check company after completion of the Merger.
Full details pertaining to the Reorganization can be viewed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on October 29, 2020.
On November 18, 2020 our former controlling shareholder, Flint Consulting Services, LLC sold 35,000,000 shares of common stock to Next Meats Co., Ltd a Japan Company. The Purchase Price was paid with personal funds of the majority shareholders of Next Meats Co., Ltd.
On the same day, November 18, 2020, Paul Moody resigned from his position of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
Simultaneous to Paul Moody’s resignations Ryo Shirai was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Hideyuki Sasaki as our Chief Operating Officer and Director, and Koichi Ishizuka as our Chief Financial Officer.
On January 8, 2021 our majority shareholder, Next Meats Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, along with our Board of Directors, comprised of Mr. Koichi Ishizuka, Mr. Ryo Shirai, and Mr. Hideyuki Sasaki, took action to ratify, affirm, and approve a name change of the Company from Turnkey Solutions, Inc., to Next Meats Holdings, Inc. The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State (“NVSOS”) to enact the name change with an effective date of January 19, 2021. This was previously disclosed in the Form 8-K we filed on January 25, 2021.
Also on January 8, 2021, our majority shareholder Next Meats Co., Ltd., along with our Board of Directors took action to ratify, affirm, and approve a change of the Company’s ticker symbol from TKSI to NXMH.
Pursuant to the above, the Company carried out a FINRA corporate action. As a result of the aforementioned actions the Company’s CUSIP number was changed from 90043H102 to 65345L 100. The change in CUSIP, name change, and symbol change were posted on the FINRA daily list on January 25, 2021 with a market effective date of January 26, 2021.
On January 28, 2021, our majority shareholder, Next Meats Co., Ltd., along with our Board of Directors took action to ratify, affirm, and approve the issuance of 452,352,298 shares of restricted common stock to Next Meats Co., Ltd. The shares were issued for services rendered to the Company. Following this issuance we now have 500,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
On June 9, 2021 the Company entered into a “Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement” (referred to herein as “the Agreement”) with Next Meats Co., Ltd., a Japan Company.
Next Meats Co., Ltd. is referred to herein as “NMCO”, and Next Meats Holdings, Inc., is referred to herein as “the Company”, and or “NXMH.” The current shareholders of Next Meats Co., Ltd. are referred to herein as “NMCO shareholders”.
Pursuant to the agreement, at the effective time of the agreement, NXMH shall acquire NMCO as a wholly owned subsidiary and commensurate with this action, there shall be a conversion of the NXMH Percentile Share Interest in exchange for the Company’s 100% percentile share interest in NMCO. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (defined below) each NMCO shareholder shall cancel and exchange their percentile share interest in NMCO for an equivalent percentile share interest in NXMH pursuant to each NMCO shareholder’s pro rata percentage set forth on the chart below (the “Cancellation and Exchange”). At the Effective Time, NMCO shall issue NXMH 1,000 shares of its common stock.
Effective Time: Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, NMCO shall utilize reasonable and best commercial efforts to complete an audit by an accounting firm that is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Upon completion, NXMH shall prepare and file a super Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including Form 10 information on behalf of NMCO. The Agreement shall become effective upon the issuance by NMCO of the 1,000 shares of its common stock to NXMH, which shall not occur until such time as the Super Form 8-K is complete and ready to be filed with the SEC (the date and time the Agreement becomes effective being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, NXMH will operate through NMCO. NMCO is a Japanese Company that operates in the “alternative meat” industry. It currently offers, and plans to continue to offer, artificial chicken and beef products made from meat substitutes.
The aforementioned parties hereto intend that the reorganization contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a tax-free organization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Full details of the agreement can be found in the company’s 8-K filed on June 9, 2021.
On July 20, 2021, Catapult Solutions, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“CPSL”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among CRS Consulting, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company (“CRS”), White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company (“WKC”), and Next Meats Holdings, Inc., a Nevada Company (“NXMH”), pursuant to which, on July 23, 2021, (“Closing Date”), CRS sold 10,000 shares of CPSL’s Series Z Preferred Stock, representing approximately 81.20% voting control of Catapult Solutions, Inc.; 5,000 shares of Series Z Preferred Stock were transferred to WKC and 5,000 shares of Series Z Preferred Stock were transferred to NXMH.
WKC and NXMH paid consideration of three hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of Catapult Solutions, Inc., with WKC and NXMH, becoming the largest controlling stockholders of Catapult Solutions, Inc. Subsequent to the above, Catapult Solutions, Inc. changed its name to Dr. Foods, Inc.
We were, and are, a party to the Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement entered into on June 9, 2021 and later consummated on December 10, 2021. The Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement is detailed in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2021. Following the Effective Time of the aforementioned agreement, the parties listed on page 5 of the aforementioned Form 8-K ceased to be shareholders of Next Meats Co., Ltd. and the sole shareholder of Next Meats Co., Ltd. became, and is now, Next Meats Holdings, Inc., holding 1,000 shares of our common stock, which constitutes 100% of our issued and outstanding shares as of the date of this report. At the Effective Time of the agreement, the shareholders who previously made up the shareholders of Next Meats Co., Ltd., became shareholders of Next Meats Holdings, Inc., and were issued the respective quantities of shares of Next Meats Holdings, Inc.
In January of 2022, we engaged counsel to incorporate Next Meats USA, Inc. on our behalf. Next Meats USA, Inc. (“NXMH USA”) was incorporated on January 18, 2022 and is a California Corporation.
On February 7, 2022, the incorporator of Next Meats USA, Inc. was discharged of any further duties. Simultaneously, Koichi Ishizuka and Koki Terui were appointed as Directors, and Koki Terui was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer.
On February 7, 2022, NXMH USA issued 100 shares of its common stock to Next Meats Holdings, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, in exchange for $10,000. As a result of this action, Next Meats Holdings, Inc. became the sole shareholder of NXMH USA. NXMH USA is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Next Meats Holdings, Inc.

On or about February 4, 2022, we sold 208,855 shares of restricted Common Stock to Daisuke Kuroika, a Japanese Citizen, at a price of $2.10 per share of Common Stock. The total subscription amount paid by Daisuke Kuroika was approximately $438,596.

We also share the same business objectives as our wholly owned subsidiaries, which is the development, sale, and distribution of alternative meat products to customers across the globe. We also intend to further our business objectives in conjunction with our partnership with Dr. Foods, Inc.
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”), that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act), that eases restrictions on the sale of securities; and increases the number of shareholders a company must have before becoming subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC’s) reporting and disclosure rules (See Emerging Growth Companies Section Below).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance is $680,909 as of January 31, 2022. Our cash balance is not sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations for any period of time. In order to implement our plan of operations for the next twelve-month period, we require further funding. After a twelve-month period we may need additional financing but currently do not have any arrangements for such financing.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to scale back operations or suspend operations until we do raise the cash we need.
Net Loss
We have recorded a net loss of $1,209,849 and $5,880,866,796 for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, respectively. We have recorded a net loss of $3,543,228 and $5,880,946,556 for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, respectively.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.
As of January 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded enough revenue to cover its operating costs. We expect our wholly-owned subsidiary, NextMeats France, to begin operations in the next fiscal quarter which we expect will produce revenue to cover at least some operating costs.

However, management plans to fund some operating expenses with related party contributions to capital until there is sufficient revenue to cover all operating expenses. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

| ITEM 4 | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer (who is acting as our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of January 31, 2022, the end of the fiscal period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our chief executive officer, with the participation of our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to material weaknesses identified below.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: domination of management by a limited individuals without adequate compensating controls, lack of a majority of outside directors on board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives and lack of well-established procedures to identify, approve and report related party transactions. These material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the above annual evaluation.
Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred for the most recent fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2022, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
