On May 16, 2022, Vicky Sharma, the previous majority shareholder of the Company, entered into a stock purchase agreement for the sale of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to Northeast International Holdings Limited.
As a result of the acquisition, Northeast International Holdings Limited holds approximately 68% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, and as such it is able to unilaterally control the election of our board of directors, all matters upon which shareholder approval is required and, ultimately, the direction of our Company.
Also on May 16, 2022, the previous sole officer and director of the company, Vicky Sharma, resigned his positions with the Company. Upon such resignations, Lu Mei Xian was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, and sole Director of the Company.
The Company intends to be an incubator of Software as a Service (Saas) startups and is in active discussions with multiple SaaS businesses. The Company’s goal is to identify and locate SaaS businesses with the potential to grow, and to bring them under the Starguide corporate umbrella.
On December 8, 2022, the Company acquired 80% shares in Live Investments Holdings, a corporation organized in Great Britain located in London, in exchange for sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000) on closing. Live Investments Holdings Ltd. owns 100% of Live Lead Tech Ltd, a cloud-based lead generation software corporation organized in Great Britain located in London. As a result of the acquisition of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Live Investments Holdings Ltd, the Company have now assumed Live Investments Holdings Ltd’s business operations as a majority-owned subsidiary and on a consolidated basis.
Executive Summary:
Live Lead Tech Ltd is a cloud-based lead generation software company. Its flagship product, LiveLead, is designed to provide businesses with verified leads that are collected automatically from sources like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter. A business lead is defined as a person who is interested in the product or service you sell. Obtaining leads is the first step of the sales cycle and is a major component of any sales-led organization.
LiveLead eliminates the need for businesses of all sizes to hire developers or engage in complex coding in its lead generation efforts., thanks to its user-friendly platform and utilization of technology.
History:
LiveLead is an offshoot of a highly successful product, Boost. Boost was first introduced in 2018 and since its inception, has been making waves in the market with its innovative approach to lead generation. With a focus on social opt-in, Boost has helped countless businesses to gather thousands of leads by providing a simple and intuitive platform for users to sign up for updates, newsletters, and other promotional content. Over the past few years, Boost has established itself as a reliable and trustworthy solution for businesses looking to expand their customer base and grow their revenue.
Boost was launched on the application marketplace AppSumo in 2020 and was met with much fanfare and enthusiasm from the marketing and startup communities. The launch was a major success, with Boost selling several thousand one-time licenses in a matter of weeks. The positive response to Boost's unique approach to lead generation was a testament to the product's value and effectiveness.
At the same time, the founder of Boost recognized that there was still a lot of room for improvement and growth. With this in mind, they decided to spin off Boost into a separate entity and create Live Lead Tech Ltd. The goal of Live Lead Tech is to take the proven success of Boost and build upon it to create an even more powerful and comprehensive solution for businesses looking to maximize their lead generation efforts.
One of the main objectives of LiveLead is to transition Boost from a one-time sale product to a subscription revenue model. This shift will allow LiveLead to provide an even more comprehensive and customized experience for its users, as well as offer additional features and benefits that were not possible with the one-time sale model. Additionally, the subscription revenue model will allow LiveLead to establish a more predictable and sustainable revenue stream, allowing the company to invest more resources into product development and growth.
The history of Boost and the creation of LiveLead is a testament to the founders' commitment to innovation, growth, and providing value to their customers. With a strong foundation in the form of Boost, LiveLead aims to become a major player in the social opt-in lead generation space.

Market Analysis:
A lead is a potential customer who has shown interest in a company's product or service and provided their contact information for future marketing efforts. A lead can be generated through various methods such as filling out a form on a website, attending an event, or responding to an advertisement.
Lead generation refers to the process of identifying and nurturing leads to the point where they become interested in a company's offerings. Effective lead generation involves creating a strong marketing strategy that attracts potential customers and converting them into leads. This can include tactics such as search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, email marketing, and social media marketing. The ultimate goal of lead generation is to build a pipeline of qualified leads that can be passed on to sales teams for further nurturing and potential conversion into customers.
The demand for lead generation software is on the rise as businesses seek effective and efficient ways to capture leads. According to a report from July 2021 by The Insight Partners, the global lead generation solution market is projected to experience robust growth from 2021 to 2028, with a CAGR of 17.5% from 2021 to 2028, rising from US$ 3,103.80 million in 2021 to US$ 9,589.11 million by 2028.
The growth of the market can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for lead-generation solutions by small and medium-sized businesses, the popularity of digital marketing and automation technologies, and the rise of e-commerce and the use of social media platforms for marketing purposes.
However, a major challenge for businesses is obtaining genuine and verified leads. Traditional lead generation methods such as collecting information from websites or social media can be time-consuming, inaccurate, and often result in unqualified leads.
Problem Definition:
This presents a significant opportunity for Live Lead Tech Ltd and its lead generation software, LiveLead. The software offers a user-friendly platform that eliminates the need for complicated tools and can be used by businesses of all sizes. LiveLead collects verified leads from sources such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter, providing businesses with a reliable and efficient way to capture genuine leads.
Social sign-up is a popular feature used by websites and apps to increase their signup conversion rate. The idea behind it is simple: users can sign up using their existing social media accounts, rather than filling out a lengthy form. This not only saves time for the user but also reduces friction in the sign-up process. However, this feature is not commonly used on opt-in forms on websites, where businesses typically ask visitors to provide their name and email address in exchange for something of value, such as a newsletter, an e-book, or a discount.
Businesses are always looking for new ways to collect leads and build their email lists. LiveLead offers a unique solution to this problem by providing businesses with opt-in links that they can place anywhere on their websites or learning pages. These links can be shared on social media, embedded in emails, or even added to QR codes. With LiveLead, businesses can collect email contacts wherever they can place a link, providing them with a new channel to reach their audience and grow their email lists.
Asking people to type their email addresses can be a significant barrier to collecting leads, as it can be a poor user experience. Some people may be hesitant to provide their personal information, while others may simply find the process too time-consuming. LiveLead social opt-in solves this problem by allowing the audience to opt in quickly without typing their name and email address. The audience simply clicks on a LiveLead link and the information is automatically captured. This streamlines the opt-in process and provides a better user experience, making it easier for businesses to collect leads and grow their email lists.
Target Market:
We understand that every business is unique, with its own set of challenges and goals. That's why we have designed our lead generation software to be highly versatile, and capable of catering to businesses of all sizes and industries. Our target market is extensive, and we aim to provide value to small and medium-sized businesses, startups, and large enterprises alike. Leveraging the latest technology, LiveLead provides an effortless and efficient solution for businesses seeking to boost visibility, expand their customer base, and generate high-quality leads. Designed to meet the needs of both new startups and well-established enterprises, the software helps businesses achieve growth goals and succeed in a competitive marketplace. Its user-friendly interface and powerful lead collection capabilities make LiveLead an ideal solution for businesses looking to stay ahead of the curve and enhance their lead generation efforts.

Products:
Our flagship product, LiveLead, is a powerful and innovative lead-generation software designed to help businesses reach and engage with their target audience more effectively. Utilizing state-of-the-art intelligence technology, LiveLead automatically collects verified leads from sources such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The software is designed with ease of use in mind, and requires no special expertise or coding knowledge to operate, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes and industries.
In addition to LiveLead, we are committed to developing complementary products that will help businesses grow and succeed. One such product idea is the AI Lead Generation Chat Widget, a chat-based lead capture tool that uses AI technology to engage with website visitors and collect their information in real time, increasing the effectiveness of lead generation efforts.
How LiveLead Works:
LiveLead is a cloud-based software that helps businesses collect leads through social sign-up and login APIs. The software is designed to be user-friendly and enables businesses to create opt-in links without needing to code. An opt-in link is a link that visitors can click on to opt-in and subscribe for more information or receive something in exchange, such as an eBook. Opt-in links are similar to opt-in forms, which are used on websites for visitors to enter their email address, but opt-in links do not require the visitor to fill out a form with their information. With LiveLead, businesses can create opt-in buttons and QR codes based on their created opt-in links. Opt-in buttons are graphical elements that are placed on a website, encouraging visitors to click and opt-in.
Opt-in QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that, when scanned with a smart phone camera, redirect visitors to the opt-in link.
Both opt-in buttons and QR codes can be customized to include the business' own social app credentials and custom domain, or they can choose to use the LiveLead default social apps and domain name.
Once a visitor clicks on an opt-in link, they are directed to a consent screen from the chosen social network, where they can approve or deny the request for their social account information.
If the visitor approves the request, their information, including email address and name, is collected and saved to the database. This information is then displayed on the user's dashboard and, if the user has entered the API key of their CRM or email automation tool, it will be sent to the external integration. The opt-in process also provides the visitor with access to locked resources promised by the business, such as an eBook and a free report.
Additionally, LiveLead offers advanced features for agencies and resellers, such as the ability to create white labeled accounts to sell and set up for their clients, making it a great solution for businesses that want to offer their own branded lead collection services to their customers.
Core Technology:
LiveLead operates on a robust and cost-effective tech stack consisting of MeteorJS, MongoDB, NodeJS, JQuery, and Nginx servers running on Ubuntu. MeteorJS is a full-stack JavaScript platform that provides fast and reactive updates to the user interface, ensuring a seamless and smooth user experience.
MongoDB is a NoSQL document-oriented database that provides high performance and scalability. It stores the lead information collected from the opt-in links, making it easily accessible and retrievable for the business. NodeJS is a JavaScript runtime environment that is designed for building scalable network applications, providing an efficient and effective means for communication between the different components of the software.

JQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript library that simplifies HTML document traversal and manipulation. It is used in LiveLead to add interactivity to the user interface and provide dynamic updates to the web page content. Nginx is a high-performance HTTP server that provides efficient request handling and is designed for web applications. It is used in LiveLead to handle incoming HTTP requests, providing fast and reliable response times.
The combination of these technologies provides a powerful and scalable solution for businesses looking to collect leads through social sign-up and login APIs.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $36,638 for the year ended January 31, 2023 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $25,532 during the prior year.
During the year ended January 31, 2023, the net cash used in operating activities was attributed to net loss of $44,555 reduced by depreciation of $796, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3,121 and an increase in management salary payable of $4,000.
During the year ended January 31, 2022, the net cash used in operating activities was attributed to net loss of $25,532 reduced by depreciation of $268 and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $65.
Investing Activities
During the year ended January 31, 2023, we used $112,499 for investing activities comprised of acquisition of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired of $28,899 and purchase of property, plant and equipment of $83,600. During the year ended January 31, 2022, we did not have any investing activities.
Financing Activities
During the year ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, net cash from financing activities was $150,483 and $6,540, respectively. During the year ended January 31, 2023, we received proceeds from related parties of $141,678 and proceeds from former director of $8,805. During the year ended January 31, 2022, we received proceeds from issuance of common stock of $3,540 and proceeds from related parties of $3,000.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.
Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business and (ii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS
As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any material commitments.
PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any 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 are material to investors.
GOING CONCERN
The independent auditors’ report accompanying our January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022 financial statements contain an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared “assuming that we will continue as a going concern,” which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery or classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as going concern.

VANCOUVER, WA 98660

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors & Audit Committee:
Starguide Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Starguide Group, Inc. as of January 31, 2023 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity, cash flows, and the related notes (collectively referred to as “financial statements”) for the fiscal year then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2023 and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, although the Company has limited operations it has yet to attain profitability. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The 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 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 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 audit, 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/S/
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated 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 in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States of America. The Company’s fiscal year end is January 31.
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 80% owned subsidiaries of Live Investments Holdings Ltd. which owns 100% of Live Lead Tech Ltd. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency Translations
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Live Investments Holdings Ltd. and Live Lead Tech Ltd. is the Great British Pounds (GBP). All transactions initiated GBP are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements,” as follows:
| 1) | Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. |
|
|
|
| 2) | Equity at historical rates. |
|
|
|
| 3) | Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. |
Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings in the period of settlement.

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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Combinations
In accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”, the Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Any cost or equity method interest that the Company holds in the acquired company prior to the acquisition is re-measured to fair value at acquisition with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income for the difference between fair value and the existing book value. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets.
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 no cash equivalents at January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022.
Related Parties
We follow ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures”, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions (see Note 7).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities. are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
ASC 820 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, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

| Table of Contents |
Level 1 - | quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
|
|
Level 2 - | quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable |
|
|
Level 3 - | inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions) |
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows:
Office Equipment | |
|
|
Computer Equipment | |
|
|
Computer Software |
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.
The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the year ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, no impairment losses have been identified.
| F-9 |
| Table of Contents |
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
Tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) are assessed at each reporting date for indications that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. The asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or a group of assets exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the group of assets.
Goodwill
We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.
Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated primarily through the use of a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital.
The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted net loss per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if convertible notes to issue common stock were converted resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the loss of the Company. For the year ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive instruments
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
| F-10 |
| Table of Contents |
The Company utilizes the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 related to Income Taxes to account for the uncertainty in income taxes. Topic 740 for Income Taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing rules for recognition, measurement and classification in financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be in a tax return. Further, it prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement measurement and recognition of a tax position.
Lease
The Company entered into an office lease agreement in Great Britain for an one-year term starting from December 2022 and expired in November 2023.
In accordance with ASC 842, “Leases,” we determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
The office lease meets the definition of a short-term lease because the lease term is 12 months or less without an automatic extension clause. Consequently, consistent with Company’s accounting policy election, the Company does not recognize the right-of-use asset and the lease liability arising from this lease.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard effective February 1, 2021 and there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Utilization of the NOL carry forwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These ownership changes may limit the amount of the NOL carry forwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders.
Tax returns for the years ended 2018 through 2023 are subject to review by the tax authorities.
NOTE 10 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In early 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic. This pandemic has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at January 31, 2023. The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged outbreak could have a material adverse impact on financial results and business operations of the Company in the future. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this financial statements. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to January 31, 2023 to the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have reviewed the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) within the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that as a result of material weaknesses related to lack of segregation of duties and multiple levels of review over the financial reporting process, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers, and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a). We are required to disclose delinquent filings of reports by such persons.
Based solely on our review of certain reports filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors, and 10% or greater beneficial stockholders were met during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022.
Corporate Governance
Board Committees and Charters
Our board of directors does not maintain a separate audit, nominating and corporate governance or compensation committee. Functions customarily performed by such committees are performed by our board of directors as a whole. We do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” since we currently do not have an audit committee.
Code of Business Conduct
We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller. We only have one officer and director and do not believe we need a code of ethics at this time.
Board Diversity
While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our board of directors considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation, type and length of business experience of our board of directors members, as well as, a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix. Our board of directors believes that diversity brings a variety of ideas, judgments, and considerations that can benefit our stockholders and us.

Audit committee policies & procedures
We do not currently have a standing audit committee. The above services were approved by our Board of Directors.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
