PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
We were incorporated in Delaware on July 2, 2018, to engage in the business of reselling new and used tennis and golf equipment. We have since added used golf carts to our resale inventory and have begun engaging in consignment sales of tennis rackets. The concept is to source top-quality, in-demand equipment, and resell it to both domestic and international customers. Our Company has identified popular brands and models that retain value, in new and used condition, across the various markets in which we plan to sell.
We operate as a sports equipment vendor, specializing in tennis and golf. The Company sources high value new and used equipment and sells it online. The target market is an avid domestic or international customer that is serious about his/her golf or tennis game and will return to the Company for future purchases.
To date, the Company’s activities have included building out its business operations and marketing, acquiring inventory, generating revenue via www.ebay.com, as well as developing supplier and business contacts and services.
On January 15, 2019, we issued 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock to 14 individuals pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
On June 19, 2020, we issued 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $20,000 to 7 individuals pursuant to our S-1 Registration Statement declared effective on September 30, 2019.
On September 6, 2020, pursuant to our S-1 Registration Statement declared effective on September 30, 2019, the Company issued 275,000 shares of Common Stock to 10 individuals, for total proceeds of $5,500.
Our principal executive office is located at 2149 Rio De Janeiro Ave., Punta Gorda, FL 33983, and our telephone number is (877) 571-5562. Our corporate website is www.pacificsportsexchange.com.
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding. We do not have any subsidiaries.
Description of Business
We specialize in the reselling of new and used tennis and golf equipment, including reselling used golf carts and engaging in consignment sales of tennis rackets. The concept is to source top-quality, in-demand equipment and resell it to both domestic and international customers. We have identified popular brands and models that retain their value in new and used conditions.
To source in-demand equipment, our Company has established relationships with local Southwest Florida sports retailers to purchase their surplus end-of-season inventory and trade-ins. The Company also attends golf and tennis trade shows and monitors re-seller equipment events to pin-point trends in high-demand used equipment. Both Florida and California have been identified as premium geographic locations to search for and secure the desired supply of top-end equipment.
We currently operate as an online-only entity and utilize eBay as our primary marketing channel. We will also optimize our own website for ‘global’ search terms and internally vend equipment to a worldwide market. Because the Company relies on third-party websites such as eBay to make its sales, such reliance on any third-party platform to generate revenues carries with it certain risks including but not necessarily limited to: the Company could violate the terms of service and lose its selling privileges, or the sites themselves could experience technical issues and/or fail. The Company will always strive to abide by the policies of any third-party platform and will endeavor to provide superior customer service. The Company will also look to improve the marketing and functionality of its own website, to act as a hedge against the risk of relying on third-party partners.

The principals of our Company have experience in both the sports of tennis and golf, and through this experience have identified high-value, high-margin equipment that resells profitably to both international and domestic customers. The goal is to create a unique supply chain that targets niche, valued products and their buyers. Serious golfers and tennis players are very particular about their equipment and will go to considerable lengths to secure what they are looking for in a quest to improve their game; this customer is our prime target market, and our marketing approach will be to create a relationship (wherever possible) with this customer and become their ongoing equipment supplier through social media and electronic outreach.
Distribution Methods
Potential customers can find our equipment promoted through websites such as eBay and eventually through our own pacificsportsexchange.com website. eBay makes it relatively easy to ship goods to international destinations, and eBay also services the domestic US market. Through eBay, our Company can ship tennis racquets anywhere within the continental U.S.A. for an average flat rate of $8 per item. In addition to utilizing third-party websites such as eBay, our Company is developing a robust website of our own and will undertake a key-word optimization effort to globally rank the site for tennis and golf related keywords. While eBay allows for start-up companies such as ours to instantly reach a global audience, our longer-term strategy is to have customers interact and purchase equipment directly from our website. Not only will this help with the margin-per-transaction, but also gives us an opportunity to create a long-term relationship and database with each customer. However, it must be cautioned that as website optimization occurs, especially on a global scale, this will take time and resources to accomplish, and initially eBay is our key marketing channel.
Competitive Business Conditions and Strategy; Position in the Industry
Our Company competes with other vendors of golf and tennis equipment. We compete with a wide assortment of vendors from small local golf and tennis shops to larger established vendors such as Dick’s Sporting Goods and Amazon. There is also an assortment of successful online vendors such as Tennis Warehouse, Midwest Sports, Holabird Sports, and Puetz Golf, among others. At first glance the retail industry appears challenging, especially factoring in direct sales from the equipment manufacturers themselves; however, a competitive advantage lies in the specialized nature of both our target customer and our targeted products. While we sell to local domestic customers, our primary target market is foreign buyers from Asia and Europe that have a penchant for specific brands and product models not available in their local markets. We have identified select new and classic equipment that is in high demand to foreign buyers, and we have identified a reliable method to source the desired equipment. Our source of in-demand equipment comes from a network of local tennis and golf shops. Located throughout Southwest Florida, these local shops and their owners are embedded within their communities and have great relationships with the local playing public; season in and season out they receive a steady supply of trade-in equipment. Our Company has found that these vendors are happy to sell this old equipment to us at a discount. Hence, our niche strategy within the larger mass market is to service the specialized and under-served international demand with a supply of equipment sourced from a network of local Florida sport shops. Our Company believes this sourcing strategy can be duplicated on the East Coast of Florida and in other warm weather states such as California and Arizona.
Talent Sources and Names of Principal Suppliers
The key to our success is in the quality of our leadership, and their ability to share industry knowledge and secure a reliable supply chain. Our Company is headed by Timothy Conte, a retired educator and life-long tennis and golf enthusiast. Mr. Conte is passionate about each sport and carries a Florida United States Tennis Association (USTA) tennis ranking, as well as a 9.2 United States Golf Association (USGA) golf handicap. At both a professional and volunteer level, Mr. Conte has made key Florida vendor/industry contacts and is thoroughly versed on the latest equipment technology. He is also aware and appreciative of classic tennis and golf equipment that stands the test of time and is still widely sought-after today. Mr. Conte is well traveled and has played both tennis and golf in Europe and in Asia. Mr. Conte is currently devoting 20 hours per week to our Company.
Our Company also benefits from the services of Jennifer Whitesides. Mrs. Whitesides is also a golf and tennis enthusiast and is involved in Florida USTA tennis instruction and carries a USGA golf handicap. Mrs. Whitesides’ main responsibility is to secure a reliable supply chain. Golf and tennis shops, trade shows, and reseller events of South Florida will be the initial source of equipment, followed by a structured buying campaign in California. Mrs. Whitesides works side-by-side with Mr. Conte, leverage her existing industry contacts and ensure that the supply of equipment meets any pending demand. Mrs. Whitesides works a total of 8 hours per week for our Company.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, enacted in April 2012. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
We can take advantage of these provisions through November 30, 2023. If certain events occur prior to November 30, 2023, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we would cease to be an emerging growth company prior to November 30, 2023.
We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have taken advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this Annual Report and may elect to take advantage of other reduced burdens in future filings.
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. However, we have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosure available to smaller reporting companies.

Net loss was $26,033 for the year ended August 31, 2023, and $13,399 for the year ended August 31, 2022. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in revenue and offset by a decrease in operating expenses.
Cost of goods sold for the years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 was $15,289 and $26,589, respectively. Operating expenses for the years ended August 31,2023 and 2022 were $29,538 and $31,979, respectively. Operating expenses during the years ended August 31,2023 and 2022 were primarily attributed to general and administration expenses of $1,471 and $2,310 and professional fees of $28,067 and $29,669, respectively. The decrease in general and administration expenses during the year ended August 31, 2023, is primarily due to a decrease in sales commission.
Liquidity and Capital
As of August 31, 2023, we had $2,151 in cash, $2,420 in total assets, $91,503 in liabilities and $89,083 in working capital deficit.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, our Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to our Company. If adequate working capital is not available to our Company, it may be required to curtail or cease its operations.

Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our financial statements.
| 10 |
| Table of Contents |
While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Inventory
All inventory is finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Our Company utilizes first-in first-out for inventory items held. We periodically review inventories for obsolescence and any inventories identified as obsolete are written down. Although we believe that the assumptions used to estimate inventory write-downs are reasonable, future changes in these assumptions could provide a significantly different result.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is earned from the reselling of new and used sports equipment. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfils its obligations pursuant to each of its equipment sales transactions:
| · | identify the contract with a customer; |
|
|
|
| · | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
| · | determine the transaction price; |
|
|
|
| · | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
| · | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company operates as an online-only retailer and utilizes eBay as its prime marketing channel. The Company currently relies on eBay, a third-party marketplace, to facilitate its sales. Such reliance on any third-party platform to generate revenues carries with it certain risks, including but not necessarily limited to: the Company could violate the terms of service and lose its selling privileges, or the sites themselves could experience technical issues and/or fail. The Company always strives to abide by the policies of any third-party platform and endeavors to provide superior customer service.
Typical sales transactions are usually fulfilled within twenty-four (24) hours of completing the transaction online. Contracts stating the transaction price and our performance obligation to deliver the ordered products are deemed to be entered into on eBay at the time the customer submits payment, which is conducted through the PayPal payment platform. Due to the instantaneous nature of a customer submitting an order online at a stated price and the same (or next)-day shipment of product, the Company does not anticipate that variable consideration or contract assets or liabilities will arise in the normal course of business.
| 11 |
| Table of Contents |
Revenues are recognized based on the sales contract price, net of sales taxes, when control of the promised goods are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. Our contracted prices primarily include cost of inventory, shipping and handling, eBay commission fee and our margin, which varies depending on each item. We may provide incentives to our customers from time-to-time, including discounts, coupons and rewards, which are treated as a reduction in revenue. The Company does not accept returns and clearly indicates this in our listings. However, if a customer receives an item that is not as described in the eBay listing, we must follow the eBay money-back guarantee policy which obligates us to issue a full refund within three (3) business days. We do not provide an estimate for returns as we do not anticipate any returns in the normal course of business.
Consignment Sales
The Company, as a consignee, provides a service to sell tennis racquets through its online marketplace with eBay. The Company retains a percentage of the proceeds received as payment for its consignment items, which the Company refers to as its “take rate.” The Company recognizes consignment revenue upon shipment of the consigned good to a customer as its performance obligation of providing consignment services to the consignor is satisfied at that point. The Company reports consignment revenue on a net basis as an agent and not the gross amount collected from a customer. Title to the consigned goods remain with the consignor until transferred to a customer subsequent to purchase of the consigned goods. In any event of damage or loss of consignment items, the Company will recognize an expense and will pay all related disbursements. The Company does not take title of consigned goods at any time.
Other Sales

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Treasurer Mrs. Whitesides, and Mr. Conte, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2023, due to the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies discussed below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and related information. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the financial statements present fairly, in material respects, our financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
| 12 |
| Table of Contents |
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in the Exchange Act. These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an ineffective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the receipts and expenditures of Company assets are made in accordance with our management and directors authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention of or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Under the supervision of management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and subsequent guidance prepared by the Commission specifically for smaller public companies as of August 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of August 31,2023 because it identified the following material weakness and significant deficiencies:
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We expect to be materially dependent upon third parties to provide us with accounting consulting services for the foreseeable future which we believe mitigates the impact of the material weaknesses discussed above. Until such time as we have a chief financial officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP and establish an audit committee and implement internal controls and procedures, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures will not result in errors in our financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls 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 a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to 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 our Company have been detected.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to SEC rules that permit us to provide only management’s report on internal control over financial reporting in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred during the year ended August 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.
Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections
None.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.
Executive Officers and Directors
The following table sets forth the name, age and position of each of our executive officers and directors as of the date of this Prospectus.
Name | Age | Position | ||
Timothy Conte | 77 | President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director | ||
Jennifer Whitesides | 41 | Secretary, Treasurer and Director |
Each director serves for a term of one year or until their successor is duly elected and qualified. Our executive officers are appointed by our Board of Directors. There are no family relationships between our current Directors and officers.
Background of Executive Officers and Directors
The following is a brief summary of the background of each of our executive officers and Directors:
Timothy Conte - Mr. Conte has a diverse background of experience. He graduated in 1967 from Bucks County Community College with a degree in business. In 1969, he completed a BS business and marketing degree from Rider University, and in 1977, he completed a business and education master’s degree from New Jersey College. In the intervening years between 1969 and 1976, Mr. Conte was a General Manager for Amaco. From 1978 until 1984, Mr, Conte owned and operated his own Auto Damage Appraising company. In 1985, Mr. Conte began teaching, and worked in the Charlotte County School Board (Florida) until his retirement in 2016. Mr. Conte specialized in teaching business and math. Mr. Conte was also active in athletics at the school board, helping to coach both the men’s golf and tennis teams.
Our Board of Directors believes that Mr. Conte is qualified to serve as a member of our Board because of the perspective and experience he brings in business management and from his athletic expertise.
Jennifer Whitesides - Mrs. Whitesides graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from BYU in 2003, and in 2015, achieved a master’s degree in social work from Ohio State University. Mrs. Whitesides worked for Columbus Ohio Social Services from 2005 - 2007, and from 2007 - 2010 worked at LDS Social Services. In 2012, Mrs. Whitesides, became Vice President of Marketing and Operations at Whitesides Orthodontics, a local business run by her husband Dr. Joseph Whitesides. Mrs. Whitesides is engaged in the community and assists in the coaching of young tennis players/prospects. Mrs. Whitesides works with local professionals to help youngsters develop the proper psychological mindset or mental approach to tennis and golf.
Our Board of Directors believes that Ms. Whitesides is qualified to serve as a member of our Board because of the perspective and experience she brings in the sports community.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. Our Board evaluated the business of our Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or our directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

| Table of Contents |
Board of Directors, Committees and Director Independence
Our Board of Directors currently consists of two (2) members. Neither of our Directors is considered to be an independent director because they each serve our Company as executive officers. We have not established any committees of our Board, nor are either of our Directors “audit committee financial experts” within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.
Committees of the Board
Our Company does not have a nominating, compensation, or audit committee, or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees at this time because our directors can adequately perform the functions of such committees.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a board member that qualifies as “independent” as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our Directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

| Table of Contents |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Pacific Sports Exchange, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pacific Sports Exchange, Inc. (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at August 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, has minimal operations, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. 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 audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
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 are no critical audit matters.
/s/
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

PACIFIC SPORTS EXCHANGE INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Pacific Sports Exchange Inc., (“Pacific Sports” “the Company,” “we” or “us”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on July 2, 2018. It is based in Punta Gorda, Florida. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.
The Company operates as a sports equipment vendor, specializing in tennis and golf. The Company sources high value new and used equipment and sells it online. The target market is an avid domestic or international customer that is serious about his/her golf or tennis game and will return to the Company for future purchases.
To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to generating revenue via www.ebay.com, as well as developing initial business contacts and services.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of August 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit and has earned nominal operating revenues.
The ability of the Company to obtain profitability is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either 1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or 2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available to the Company, it may be required to curtail or cease its operations.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.
| F-7 |
| Table of Contents |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make the required payments for services. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped in categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon past history. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The Company had no accounts receivable or allowance for doubtful accounts at August 31, 2023 or 2022.
Inventory
The Company’s inventory consists of tennis equipment and golf carts. All inventory is finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The inventory is stored on-site at the Florida office of the Company. The Company utilizes first-in first-out for inventory items held. We periodically review inventories for obsolescence and any inventories identified as obsolete are written down. Although we believe that the assumptions we use to estimate inventory write-downs are reasonable, future changes in these assumptions could provide a significantly different result.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is earned from the reselling of new and used sports equipment. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations pursuant to each of its equipment sales transactions:
| · | identify the contract with a customer; |
| · | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| · | determine the transaction price; |
| · | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
| · | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company operates as an online-only retailer and utilizes eBay Inc. (“eBay”) as its prime marketing channel. The Company currently relies on eBay, a third-party marketplace, to facilitate its sales. Such reliance on any third-party platform to generate revenues carries with it certain risks, including but not necessarily limited to: the Company could violate the terms of service and lose its selling privileges, or the sites themselves could experience technical issues and/or fail. The Company always strives to abide by the policies of any third-party platform and endeavors to provide superior customer service.
Typical sales transactions are usually fulfilled within twenty-four (24) hours of completing the transaction online. Contracts stating the transaction price and our performance obligation to deliver the ordered products are deemed to be entered into via eBay at the time the customer submits payment, which is conducted through the PayPal payment platform. Due to the instantaneous nature of a customer submitting an order online at a stated price and the same or next business day shipment of product, the Company does not anticipate that variable consideration or contract assets or liabilities will arise in the normal course of business.
| F-8 |
| Table of Contents |
Revenues are recognized based on the sales contract price, net of sales taxes, when control of the promised goods are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. Our contracted prices primarily include cost of inventory, shipping and handling, eBay commission fee and our margin, which varies depending on each item. We may provide incentives to our customers from time to time, including discounts, coupons and rewards, which are treated as a reduction in revenue. We may provide sales under a consignment for a client. When acting as an agent, where we do not take delivery of the inventory, we record all costs of sales as a reduction in revenue. The Company does not accept returns and clearly indicates this in our listings. However, if a customer receives an item that is not as described in the eBay listing, we must follow the eBay moneyback guarantee policy which obligates us to issue a full refund within three (3) business days. We do not provide an estimate for returns as we do not anticipate any returns in the normal course of business.
Consignment Sales
The Company, as a consignee, provides a service to sell tennis racquets through its online marketplace with eBay. The Company retains a percentage of the proceeds received as payment for its consignment items, which the Company refers to as its “take rate.” The Company recognizes consignment revenue upon shipment of the consigned good to a customer as its performance obligation of providing consignment services to the consignor is satisfied at that point. The Company reports consignment revenue on a net basis as an agent and not the gross amount collected from a customer. Title to the consigned goods remain with the consignor until transferred to a customer subsequent to purchase of the consigned goods. In any event of damage or loss of consignment items, the Company will recognize an expense and will pay all related disbursements. The Company does not take title of consigned goods at any time.
Other Sales
The Company purchases used golf carts as their own inventory for resale. The Company reports revenue on a gross basis from amounts collected from the customer upon transferring the product to the buyer.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes the following expenses: inventory costs and expenses related to eBay fees, repair, fuel and shipping services.
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260,” Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities (such as warrants, options, convertible Preferred Stock, and convertible debt) are excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings (loss) per share when their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities currently issued and outstanding, so basic and dilutive loss per share is the same.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables that it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

| Table of Contents |
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850,” Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which 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.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of August 31, 2023 and 2022. The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets, liabilities, the carry forward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.
Concentrations
During the years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, revenue was comprised of two sales channels, over the Internet (ebay.com) and direct resale, to unrelated third parties. These sales channels represented
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In support of the Company’s efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from related parties until such a time that the Company can support its operations or attain adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders.
During the years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company received a loan of $

NOTE 5 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “ Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of
