273,239,977 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
$0.0001 PAR VALUE PER SHARE
The common stock of WB Burgers Asia, Inc. is quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s Pink® Open Market (the “OTC Pink”) under the symbol WBBA. Upon completion of this Offering, we will attempt to have the shares quoted on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
In this public offering we, “WB Burgers Asia, Inc.” are offering 150,000,000 shares of our common stock and our selling shareholders are offering 123,239,977 shares of our common stock. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders. The offering is being made on a self-underwritten, “best efforts” basis. There is no minimum number of shares required to be purchased by each investor. The shares offered by the Company will be sold on our behalf by our sole officer and Director, Koichi Ishizuka. There is uncertainty that we will be able to sell any of the 150,000,000 shares being offered herein by the Company.

Koichi Ishizuka will be selling shares of common stock on behalf of the Company simultaneously to selling shares of common stock in the Company from his own personal account(s).

The Company
We were originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 30, 2019, under the name Business Solutions Plus, Inc.
On August 30, 2019, Paul Moody was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director.
On February 9, 2021, the Company filed, with the Secretary of State of Nevada (“NSOS”), Restated Articles of Incorporation.
On March 4, 2021, Business Solutions Plus, Inc., (the “Company” or “Successor”) announced on Form 8-K plans to participate in a holding company reorganization (“the Reorganization” or “Merger”) with InterActive Leisure Systems, Inc. (“IALS” or “Predecessor”), the Company and Business 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 Interactive Leisure Systems, Inc. and Business Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
As disclosed in our 8-K filed on March 26, 2021, the above-mentioned Reorganization was legally effective as of March 31, 2021.
Each share of Predecessor’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Successor common stock. The control shareholder, (at the time) of the Predecessor, Flint Consulting Services, LLC, (“Flint”) a Wyoming limited liability company became the same control shareholder of the Successor. Jeffrey DeNunzio, as sole member of Flint is (was) deemed to be the indirect and beneficial holder of 405,516,868 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company representing approximately 93.70% voting control of the Company. Paul Moody, (our now former sole officer/director), was the same officer/director of the Predecessor. There are/were no other shareholders or any officer/director holding at least 5% of the outstanding voting shares of the Company.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, and under the respective articles of incorporation of Predecessor and Successor, the Successor Capital Stock had the same designations, rights, and powers and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, as the Predecessor Capital Stock which was automatically converted pursuant to the reorganization.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Successor, as the holding company, contain provisions identical to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Predecessor immediately prior to the merger, other than as permitted by NRS 92A.200.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of Predecessor stated that any act or transaction by or involving the Predecessor, other than the election or removal of directors of the Predecessor, that requires for its adoption under the NRS or the Articles of Incorporation of Predecessor the approval of the stockholders of the Predecessor, shall require in addition the approval of the stockholders of Successor (or any successor thereto by merger), by the same vote as is required by the articles of Incorporation and/or the bylaws of the Predecessor.
- 1 -
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Successor and Merger Sub were identical to the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Predecessor immediately prior to the merger, other than as permitted by NRS 92A.200;
The Boards of Directors of Predecessor, Successor, and Merger Sub approved the Reorganization, shareholder approval not being required pursuant to NRS 92A.180;
The Reorganization constituted a tax-free organization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code;
Successor common stock traded in the OTC Markets under the Predecessor ticker symbol “IALS” under which the common stock of Predecessor previously listed and traded until the new ticker symbol “BSPI” was announced April 14, 2021, on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s daily list with a market effective date of April 15, 2021. The CUSIP Number 45841W107 for IALS’s common stock was suspended upon market effectiveness. The Company received a new CUSIP Number 12330M107.
After completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, 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 Company abandoned the business plan of its Predecessor and resumed its former business plan of a blank check company after completion of the Merger.
On May 4, 2021, Business Solutions Plus, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among Flint Consulting Services, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company (“FLINT”), and White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company (“WKC”), pursuant to which, on May 7, 2021, (“Closing Date”) , FLINT sold 405,516,868 shares of the Company’s Restricted Common Stock and 1,000,000 Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, representing approximately 93.70% voting control of the Company. WKC paid consideration of three hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($325,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with WKC becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder.
The sole shareholder of White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japanese Company, is Koichi Ishizuka.
On May 7, 2021, Mr. Paul Moody resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director.

A Certificate of Amendment to change our name, from Business Solutions Plus, Inc., to WB Burgers Asia, Inc. was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on June 18, 2021, with a legal effective date of July 2, 2021. The name change to WB Burgers Asia, Inc., as well as a change of our ticker symbol from BSPI to WBBA, was announced by FINRA, via their “daily list”, on July 7, 2021, with a market effective date of both on July 8, 2021. The new CUSIP number associated with our common stock, as of the market effective date of July 8, 2021, is 94684P100.

Risks Relating to Our Company and Our Industry
We rely significantly upon the demand, in general, of product offerings from Wayback Burgers. As a result of our franchising agreement with Jake’s Franchising, we are given the exclusive rights to open and operate Wayback Burgers locations within the country of Japan. We anticipate that the global interest in, and demand for, the products offered by Wayback Burgers will directly impact our financial condition and may cause your investment to be either positively or negatively impacted.
At present, our business plan is solely comprised of opening and operating Wayback Burgers locations within the country of Japan. Any global fluctuation in the demand for Wayback Burgers’ product offerings, which we suspect may translate to increased or decreased demand within Japan, may cause your investment to be either positively or negatively impacted.
Competition from both large, established industry participants and new market entrants may negatively affect our current and future results of operations.
We face vigorous competition from companies throughout the world and in Japan specifically, including large multinational restaurant brand companies. Some established competitors have greater resources and better accessibility than us, therefore they are able to adapt quicker to changes in customer requirements and reach customers easier from all over the globe. As a result of this intense competition there may be upward pressure on selling and promotional expenses. Many competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources. Our sales may be harmed to the extent we may not be able to compete successfully against such restaurants. There can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to successfully compete with current competitors or that we will not face greater competition from other restaurants. If we are unable to continue to compete effectively, it could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In the event that we experience any supply chain disruptions, as a result of Covid-19 or for any other reason, then the results of our operations may be materially impacted.
We rely on local suppliers and distributors to provide us with the ingredients and items that we require in order to create the menu items we offer for sale. In the event that there is any disruption in the supply of these ingredients, then we may not have enough products to meet demand, and in a worst case scenario we may need to expend time and capital in order to find alternative suppliers to meet our evolving needs. Although we do not have reason to believe such an event will occur, we cannot guarantee that it never will. In such an event, the results of our operations may be significantly impacted.
Our business plan depends, in large part, on our ability to attract interest in opening up franchise locations within Japan. If we are not able to generate sufficient interest, then additional franchise locations will not open, and the results of our operations will be materially impacted.
Through our master franchise agreement with Jake’s Franchising, we have the ability to grant franchisees subfranchise rights to establish and operate Franchised Wayback Burgers restaurants within Japan. It is our intent to utilize our flagship location to attract interested franchisees who wish to open additional restaurants within Japan, but if we are unable to generate sufficient interest then there is the possibility that additional Wayback Burger restaurants will not open in the quantity we anticipate, or at all. The agreement we entered into with Jake’s Franchising dictates the cumulative number of Wayback Burgers restaurants that we must have open and in operation within the corresponding timeline, including franchise locations. Full details are available in the related Form 8-K that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 16, 2021, but in summary we must open one restaurant by the end of the 2022 calendar year, three restaurants by the end of the 2023 calendar year, and an additional three restaurants must open, and remain in operation, every following year until December 31, 2041, at which time we must have sixty Wayback Burgers restaurants open and in operation. If we fail to meet these targets, then we would need to renegotiate terms with Jake’s Franchising, or we could potentially lose our master franchise rights in their entirety. This would have a substantial negative impact on our future plans and operations, and would necessitate that we reevaluate our future growth plans and expectations to an as of yet unforeseen extent, but could potentially lead to the full termination of our business activities if we were to lose our master franchise rights.
Mr. Koichi Ishizuka has various business interests and is a control shareholder and/or officer and director of several publicly traded companies. As a result of Mr. Ishizuka’s diverse business activities, he may not have enough available time to allocate to progress the company’s business efforts in an expeditious manner.
Mr. Ishizuka owns and controls several business entities, including Next Meats Holdings, Inc. (an entity we have entered into an informal partnership with). As a result, Mr. Ishizuka has many demands on his time. Although Mr. Ishizuka believes that he has the availability to, and has the intention to, operate WB Burgers Asia, Inc. successfully, there can be no assurances that he will have enough time to devote to the activities of the company as may be required when operations progress. We do not believe that there are any direct conflicts of interest that arise through Mr. Ishizuka’s diverse business interests, because we believe that the businesses in which Mr, Ishizuka is involved are not in direct competition with one another. However, we believe that time allocation may present a difficulty that Mr. Ishizuka may need to address in, as of yet, unforeseen ways, which could create uncertainty and, in a worst case scenario, may force the company to reevaluate its business objectives and expectations.

A decline in general economic condition could lead to reduced consumer demand and could negatively impact our business operation and financial condition, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating and financial performance may be adversely affected by a variety of factors that influence the general economy. Consumer spending habits, including spending on products relating to the food or beverage products we offer, are affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, levels of unemployment, salaries and wage rates, prevailing interest rates, income tax rates and policies, consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions. In addition, consumer purchasing patterns may be influenced by consumers’ disposable income. In the event of an economic slowdown, consumer spending habits could be adversely affected, and we could experience lower net sales than expected on a quarterly or annual basis which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face inventory risk, and if we fail to predict accurately demand for products, we may face write-downs or other charges.
We are exposed to inventory risks that may adversely affect operating results as a result of new product launches, changes in product cycles and pricing, limited shelf-life of certain of our products, changes in consumer demand, and other factors. We endeavor to predict accurately, based on reasonable assumptions determined by management’s expectations and direct discussions with distributors and suppliers, the expected demand for products in order to avoid overproduction. Additionally, it may be more difficult to make accurate predictions regarding new food or beverage products, and inaccurate assumptions made by management could have a negative impact upon our operations and results, the extent of which we cannot accurately determine at this time.
The success of our business relies heavily on brand image, reputation, and product quality.
It is important that we maintain and increase the image and reputation of our existing brands and products. Concerns about product quality, even when unsubstantiated, could be harmful to our image and reputation of our brands and products. Our brand image and reputation may also be impacted, in one direction or another, based upon the global actions of Wayback Burgers, over which we have limited, or no, control. We also could be exposed to lawsuits relating to product liability or marketing or sales practices. Deterioration to our brand equity may be difficult to combat or reverse and could have a material effect on our business and financial results.
If we were to lose the services of our sole officer and director, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka, we may not be able to execute our business plan.
We currently depend on the continued services and performance of our sole officer and director, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka. His leadership has played an integral role in our company. The loss of our sole officer and director could disrupt our operations and have an adverse effect on our ability to grow our business. In addition, competition for senior executives and key personnel in our industry is intense, and we may be unable to retain our senior executives and key personnel or attract and retain new senior executives and key personnel in the future, in which case our business may be severely disrupted.
The outbreak of the coronavirus may negatively impact sale of our products that we sell as well as consumer spending, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to risks arising from the recent global outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. A pandemic, including COVID-19, or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, suppliers, manufacturers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to the spread of the disease or shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 could have on our business, the continued spread of COVID-19 could disrupt the results of our restaurants’ operations, the overall supply chain, and other related activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. COVID-19 has also had an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could impair our ability to raise capital when needed. While we have not yet experienced any disruptions in our business or other negative consequences relating to COVID-19, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 may adversely affect our customers.
Further, such risks as described above could also adversely affect our customers' financial condition, resulting in reduced spending on the products offered at our current or future restaurants. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
If the government of Japan places restrictions on restaurants’ ability to operate, as a result of a future Covid-19 outbreak or for any reason whatsoever, then the results of our operations would suffer.
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, governments throughout the world have, depending on the severity of the outbreak in their country, placed restrictions on indoor dining which have had a negative impact on the sales of the majority of restaurants. We cannot guarantee with any certainty that such restrictions will not occur in Japan in the future, and we cannot accurately forecast the impact this would have on our operations, as we have recently commenced operations. There is also the possibility that the government may take further actions, in response to Covid-19 or for any other reason, that could materially impact the ability of restaurants to operate at a level consistent with expectations. In such an event, the results of our operations would almost certainly suffer, but we cannot determine to what extent at this time.

An increase in the cost of energy or the cost of environmental regulatory compliance could affect our profitability.
Energy costs could continue to rise, which would result in higher transportation, freight and other operating costs. We may experience significant future increases in the costs associated with environmental regulatory compliance, including fees, licenses and the cost of capital improvements to our operating facilities in order to meet environmental regulatory requirements. Future operating expenses and margins will be dependent on the ability to manage the impact of cost increases. We cannot guarantee that it will be able to pass along increased energy costs or increased costs associated with environmental regulatory compliance to our customers through increased prices.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert our management's attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and are required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs, made some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increased demand on our systems and resources. Among other things, the Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business and results of operations. We may need to hire more employees to comply with these requirements in the future, which will increase our costs and expenses.
We may require additional capital to support growth, and such capital might not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.
In the future we may require additional funds, beyond those generated by this offering, to respond to business challenges and or advance our growth. Accordingly, we may need to engage in public or private equity, equity-linked or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, including the ability to pay dividends. This may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business could be adversely affected.
We have limited experience as a public company. Our inability to successfully operate as a public company could cause you to lose part of or your entire investment.
We have limited experience in complying with the various rules and regulations, which are required of a public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations, which are required of a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment.
We expect our quarterly financial results to fluctuate.
We expect our net sales and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including changes in:
| · | Demand for our products; |
| · | Our ability to obtain and retain existing customers or encourage repeat customers; |
| · | Our ability to manage our product inventory; |
| · | General economic conditions; |
| · | Advertising and other marketing costs; and |
| · | Costs of creating and expanding our business to new territories. |
As a result of the variability of these and other factors, our operating results in future quarters may be below the expectations of our stockholders.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud; any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the future trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. Although we have established written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements, such requirements and application policies may change, and the learning curve may render us having a lack of formal process and timeline for closing the books and records at the end of each reporting period and such weaknesses restrict our ability to timely gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statements. Our management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff and this will impact the bottom line of our earnings. Any and all efforts to hire additional staff to remedy this deficiency are in the planning stages, and have not yet been determined with any level of specificity. We cannot forecast, with any level of certainty, the cost that will be incurred to remedy this issue, nor can we predict how long it may take us to identify and/or hire additional staff. However, we have had preliminary, and informal, discussions with individuals who may be capable of remedying this deficiency. To date, these discussions have not led to anything material.
We believe that government regulations in Japan pertaining to operating a food establishment, are in an ongoing state of change, as the needs of the government and population may necessitate a change in regulation. We will need to ensure that we continue to maintain and comply with any new or changing regulations, related to, but not limited to, operating a food establishment. If we do not do so, we believe our operations may be negatively impacted.
While we believe that we are in compliance with all rules and regulations pertinent to operating a restaurant within Japan, legislation and regulations are in an ongoing state of change, as the needs of the government and population may necessitate a change in regulation. Although we anticipate that we will be provided suitable forewarning to ensure compliance with all such changes, we cannot guarantee that will be the case. In the event that we fail to comply with changing rules and regulations, then the results of our operations may suffer and in a worst case scenario we may be forced to scale back or curtail operations entirely. It is the company’s belief that we are in compliance with any and all pertinent regulations in Japan, based on the research of our management. Currently we have a director of food sanitation and a fire protection manager, and we have obtained a restaurant business license from a Japanese Public Health Center in order to operate in compliance with Japanese regulations.

American investors may have difficulty enforcing judgments against our Company and Officers.
We are a Nevada corporation and most of our assets are and will continue to be located outside of the United States. Almost all of our operations will and are already conducted in Japan. In addition, our sole officer and director is a national and resident of a country other than the United States, with the majority of his assets outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon them. It may also be difficult to enforce court judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against our Company and our officers and director, since they are not residents in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Japan or other Asian countries would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts.
If we fail to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations, our financial results, financial condition and our ability to continue as a going concern will be adversely affected and we will have to scale back, or possibly even cease, operating activities. Our Auditor has issued a going concern opinion regarding our activities given we have not established a source of revenue great enough to cover our operating expenses.
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 the Company’s financial statements, as of April 30, 2023 . These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.
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 established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital and the sale of shares of stock. 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.
In the absence of sufficient revenue, management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital and the sale of shares of stock. 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.
The JOBS Act will allow the Company to postpone the date by which it must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC.
The JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies”. The Company meets the definition of an “emerging growth company” and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:
-be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting;
-be exempt from the "say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the "say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of Chief Executive Officers;
-be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and
-be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements.
Although the Company is still evaluating the JOBS Act, it currently intends to take advantage of all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. The Company has elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers, which would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.
Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time are we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, being required to provide only two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.
We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million.

Risks Relating to the Company’s Securities
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.
We have no intention to declare or pay any cash dividend on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
There may be future sales of our securities or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We are generally not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur.
As a result of Mr. Koichi Ishizuka’s voting control of the Company, he has the ability to control virtually all business matters, and matters which require a vote of shareholders.
Mr. Ishizuka owns and controls approximately 79.30% of the voting control of the company. As a result, Mr. Ishizuka has the ability to control matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of organizational documents, and approval of major corporate transactions, such as a change in control, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets. Consequently, shareholders will not be able to materially influence matters that require a vote of shareholders, and there is no possibility that the company may be taken over by a third party given Mr. Ishizuka’s current equity stake in the Company.
A large number of shares issued in this offering may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock.
A large number of shares issued in this offering may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares. All of the securities issued in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.
We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future which may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 1,000,000 are designated as Series A Preferred Stock with super voting rights. Every one share of Preferred Series A Stock has super voting rights that allows for 1,000 votes for every vote of Common Stock.
Accordingly, our board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. At this time, we have 0 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Our preferred stock does not have any dividend, conversion, liquidation, or other rights or preferences, including redemption or sinking fund provisions. However, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as holders of common stock.

Risks Relating to this Offering
Investors cannot withdraw funds once invested and will not receive a refund.
Investors do not have the right to withdraw invested funds. Subscription payments will be paid to WB Burgers Asia, Inc., or a subsidiary of the company, and held in our, or a subsidiary’s corporate bank account, if the Subscription Agreements are in good order and the Company accepts the investor’s investment. Therefore, once an investment is made, investors will not have the use or right to return of such funds.
We may be subject to the penny stock rules which will make shares of our common stock more difficult to sell.
We may be subject now and in the future to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares of common stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our common stock. As long as our shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of common stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
We are selling the shares of this offering without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any shares.
This offering is self-underwritten, which means that we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares. We intend to sell our shares through our Chief Executive Officer, Koichi Ishizuka, who will receive no commissions. There is no guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless he is successful in selling all of the shares of our Company’s offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plan. Furthermore, Mr. Ishizuka is selling shares on his own behalf, in addition to those shares he is selling on behalf of the company. While Mr. Ishizuka intends to prioritize selling shares of the company before his own, he is under no obligation to do so and there can be no assurance that Mr. Ishizuka will offer to sell securities on behalf of the company before he offers to sell his own.
We may require additional funding to satisfy our future capital needs, and future financing strategies may adversely affect holders of our common stock.
Our operations may require additional funding. We do not know whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we are successful in raising additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders are likely to experience substantial dilution. Any additional equity securities we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of stock. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and or other arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights that may be perceived to be disfavorable to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate capital funding in the future to continue operations and implement our strategy. As a result of these uncertainties, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s Pink® Open Market (the “OTC Pink”) under the symbol WBBA. There is currently a limited trading market in the Company’s shares of common stock. As a result of the limited trading market, investors who decide to purchase shares pursuant to this offering may experience limited liquidity, and may experience limited ability to sell shares in the open market.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s Pink® Open Market (the “OTC Pink”) under the symbol WBBA. There is currently a limited trading market in the Company’s shares of common stock. As a result of the limited trading market of our common stock, investors who decide to purchase shares as a result of this offering may experience limited demand for their shares of common stock, which may limit their ability to sell their shares in the open market.

We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and investors will not have the opportunity as part of their investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management may not apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that ultimately increase the value of investors’ investment. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.
We will continue to incur costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies.
We will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of being a public company. We will also continue to incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and the OTC Markets Group. Our executive officers and other personnel will need to continue to devote substantial time to these rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are expected to result in higher than average legal and financial compliance costs than if we were a private company and they are expected to make some other activities more time-consuming and costly. These rules and regulations may also make it difficult and expensive for us to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers of the Company, which may adversely affect investor confidence and could cause our business or stock price to suffer.
We will continue to incur ongoing costs and expenses to comply with SEC reporting requirements and to remain in compliance. Without substantive revenue, we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.
We are, and we will continue to be, required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, or other information with the SEC as provided by the Securities Exchange Act. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a portion of our available cash resources. We only recently began generating revenues as a result of opening our first Wayback Burgers restaurant location. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues, or should we not have available cash reserves to remain in compliance, it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

The Company is electing to not opt out of JOBS Act extended accounting transition period. This may make its financial statements more difficult to compare to other companies.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012, as an emerging growth company the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the PCAOB or the SEC. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the standard for the private company. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with any other public company which is not either an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.
Emerging Growth Company
The recently enacted JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on emerging growth companies. The Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:
| · | be temporarily exempted from the internal control audit requirements Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| · | be temporarily exempted from various existing and forthcoming executive compensation-related disclosures, for example: “say-on-pay”, “pay-for-performance”, and “CEO pay ratio”; |
| · | be temporarily exempted from any rules that might be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or supplemental auditor discussion and analysis reporting; |
| · | be temporarily exempted from having to solicit advisory say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden-parachute shareholder votes on executive compensation under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; |
| · | be permitted to comply with the SEC’s detailed executive compensation disclosure requirements on the same basis as a smaller reporting company; and, |
| · | be permitted to adopt any new or revised accounting standards using the same timeframe as private companies (if the standard applies to private companies). |
Our company will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
| · | the last day of the fiscal year during which we have annual total gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; |
| · | the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of our common equity securities in an offering registered under the Securities Act; |
| · | the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during a previous three-year period; or |
| · | the date on which we become a large accelerated filer, which generally is a company with a public float of at least $700 million (Exchange Act Rule 12b-2). |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
You should read the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in conjunction with the section inclusive of our financial statements and the related notes provided elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties about our business and operations. Our actual results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those we describe under “Risk Factors”, beginning above on page 6.
We make forward-looking statements in this Registration Statement, in other materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or otherwise release to the public. In addition, our management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings) and demand for our food and beverage products, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained in this section, regarding our future plans, strategies and expectations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Business Summary
WB Burgers Asia, Inc., operates through its two wholly owned subsidiaries, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd and Store Foods, Ltd., which share the same business plan. WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. holds the rights to the “Master Franchise Agreement” with Jakes’ Franchising LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, as it pertains to the establishment and operation of Wayback Burger Restaurants within the country of Japan. The Master Franchise Agreement provides WBBJ the right to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the country of Japan, and also license affiliated and unaffiliated third parties (“Franchisees”) to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Country of Japan. It should be noted that the above operations are primarily conducted, at this time, through WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance is $115,812 as of April 30, 2023 and $126,669 as of July 31, 2022. We have been utilizing available cash balances and funds from our Chief Executive Officer, Koichi Ishizuka, and may continue to do so in the future.
Mr. Ishizuka has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. In order to implement our plan of operations for the next twelve-month period, we may require further funding. Being a start-up stage company, we have very limited operating history. After a twelve-month period we may need additional financing but currently do not have any arrangements for such financing, although the Company may seek to sell shares of its common stock in the future to fund its operations.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash we need, or scale back operations entirely.
Our total assets as of April 30, 2023 were $3,332,995 and $3,760,615 as of July 31, 2022. For both of these periods, our total assets were primarily comprised of franchise rights and equipment.
Liabilities
Our total liabilities were $351,261 as of April 30, 2023, and $485,267 as of July 31, 2022. For both periods, our total liabilities were primarily comprised of lease liabilities.
Revenues
The company generated $168,090 in revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and our cost of revenue was $289,413, while our gross loss was $121,323. We believe that our gross loss was attributable to a small number of customers visiting our Wayback Burgers restaurant locations during this quarter, as we had not, as of April 30, 2023, conducted sufficient marketing efforts to attract enough customers to become profitable.
The company generated $435,313 in revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and our cost of revenue was $874,204, while our gross loss was $438,891. We believe that our gross loss was attributable to a small number of customers visiting our Wayback Burgers restaurant locations during this period, as we had not, as of April 30, 2023, conducted sufficient marketing efforts to attract enough customers to become profitable.
The revenue generated is from our Wayback Burgers restaurant locations. We offer an array of quick bites, including, but not limited to, traditional hamburgers, fries, shakes, and other alternatives.
Operating Expenses
Our total operating expenses were $185,604 for the three months ended April 30, 2023, and $241,009 for the three months ended April 30, 2022. For both periods, our total operating expenses were solely comprised of general and administrative expenses.
Our total operating expenses were $1,605,242 for the nine months ended April 30, 2023, and $594,837 for the nine months ended April 30, 2022. For both periods, our total operating expenses were solely comprised of general and administrative expenses. The variance between periods is attributable to the fact that our restaurant locations had only recently commenced operations during the nine months ended April 30, 2022.
Net Income/Loss
We recorded a net loss of $310,002 and $553,945 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively.
We recorded a net loss of $1,893,220 and $849,683 for the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively.
We believe we will need additional revenue to cover our expenses going forward. We attribute our net loss to initial start up costs, which resulted in a significant variance between the two periods.
Cash flows
For the nine months ended April 30, 2023, we had negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $1,591,429. For the nine months ended April 30, 2022, we had negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $1,034,283. The variance between periods is the result of a significantly larger net loss during the nine months ended April 30, 2023.
For the nine months ended April 30, 2023, we had negative cash flows from investing activities in the amount of $12,241. For the nine months ended April 30, 2022, we had negative cash flows from investing activities in the amount of $1,129,351. The variance between periods is the result of a significantly larger fixed asset purchases during the nine months ended April 30, 2022.
For the nine months ended April 30, 2023 we had positive cash flows from financing activities in the amount of $1,563,481 and for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 we had positive cash flows from financing activities in the amount of $2,558,267. The variance between periods is the result of greater cash received from the sale of stock for the nine months ended April 30, 2022.
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 established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital and the sale of shares of stock. 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.
Change in Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 20, 2022, WB Burgers Asia Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, BF Borgers CPA PC (“BFG”) effective immediately. This decision was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, comprised solely of Koichi Ishizuka. The report of BFG on the Company’s financial statements for fiscal years ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
On May 20, 2022, the Company engaged M&K CPAS, PLLC (“M&K”) as its new independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2022 and for the financial periods going forward. This decision was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, comprised solely of Koichi Ishizuka.

Japanese Food-Service Market
The Japanese Food-Service Market is Segmented by Type (Full-service Restaurants, Quick Service Restaurants, Cafes, Bars, 100% Home Delivery Restaurants, Street Stalls and Kiosks) and Structure (Independent Consumer Food Service and Chained Consumer Food Service). We believe Japanese consumers, in general, tend to be highly demanding, putting great emphasis on quality and branding and are willing to spend more resources on value-added products. (1)
The Japanese food service market was valued at USD 142.84 billion in 2020, and it is projected to witness a CAGR of 0.84% during the forecast period, 2021 - 2026. The coronavirus pandemic has made short-term projections hard to predict, with sales in March 2020 down almost 40% for some food companies. Japanese food service operators, which rely on lunch and dinner demand from business workers, are also suffering as more companies have employees working from home at the government’s request. (1)
According to a report released by TableCheck Inc., the percentage of reservations (dining reservations) being canceled increased about 3.6 times before the pandemic for groups of 10 or more. A French restaurant and bar named Scene near Hachioji Station on the Keio Line, earlier in June 2020, launched take-out and delivery services which we believe many others will begin offering if not already, due in part to the changing attitudes of dining out as a result of the ongoing pandemic. We believe take-out and delivery services, along with menu options that are quick to prepare, increasing in consumer demand. (1)
The variety of restaurants and menu items available in the Japanese food service industry continues to expand in the country, as Japanese consumers are interested in trying a new and vast variety of cuisines, which are available at their convenience in Japan. Food from Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas are becoming increasingly popular, partly due to a large number of Japanese traveling abroad every year.
The Japanese food service market is highly competitive, with a major market share held by prominent companies, such as McDonald’s Corporation, Yum! Brands Inc., Zensho Holdings Co. Ltd, Skylark Group, MOS Food Services Inc., and Yoshinoya Holdings Co. Ltd. Zensho Holdings Co. Ltd, with the largest market share of 2.76% in 2020, emerging as the market leader, and Skylark Group holding the second-largest share with 1.66%.(1)
Currently, in the Japanese market, hamburgers and related fast-food options have been prevalent, with high-end gourmet hamburgers being in the most expensive category consisting usually of single restaurant locations, followed by lesser expensive hamburger options via chain restaurants such as Shake Shack and MOS Premiums. The size of the current market for hamburgers in Japan is approximately $6.6 Billion (2020), and has been steadily increasing ever since 2015. It is also projected to grow by approximately 5% over the next few years. Hamburgers are considered to be one of the few food categories that were not affected by COVID-19 in Japan and were able to take advantage of home deliveries and to-go orders during the pandemic.

Corporate History
We were originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 30, 2019, under the name Business Solutions Plus, Inc.
On August 30, 2019, Paul Moody was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director.
On February 9, 2021, the Company filed, with the Secretary of State of Nevada (“NSOS”), Restated Articles of Incorporation.
On March 4, 2021, Business Solutions Plus, Inc., (the “Company” or “Successor”) announced on Form 8-K plans to participate in a holding company reorganization (“the Reorganization” or “Merger”) with InterActive Leisure Systems, Inc. (“IALS” or “Predecessor”), the Company and Business 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 Interactive Leisure Systems, Inc. and Business Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
As disclosed in our 8-K filed on March 26, 2021, the above-mentioned Reorganization was legally effective as of March 31, 2021.
Each share of Predecessor’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Successor common stock. The control shareholder, (at the time) of the Predecessor, Flint Consulting Services, LLC, (“Flint”) a Wyoming limited liability company became the same control shareholder of the Successor. Jeffrey DeNunzio, as sole member of Flint is (was) deemed to be the indirect and beneficial holder of 405,516,868 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company representing (at the time) approximately 93.70% voting control of the Company. Paul Moody, (our now former sole officer/director), was the same officer/director of the Predecessor. There are/were no other shareholders or any officer/director holding at least 5% of the outstanding voting shares of the Company.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, and under the respective articles of incorporation of Predecessor and Successor, the Successor Capital Stock had the same designations, rights, and powers and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, as the Predecessor Capital Stock which was automatically converted pursuant to the reorganization.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Successor, as the holding company, contain provisions identical to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Predecessor immediately prior to the merger, other than as permitted by NRS 92A.200.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of Predecessor stated that any act or transaction by or involving the Predecessor, other than the election or removal of directors of the Predecessor, that requires for its adoption under the NRS or the Articles of Incorporation of Predecessor the approval of the stockholders of the Predecessor, shall require in addition the approval of the stockholders of Successor (or any successor thereto by merger), by the same vote as is required by the articles of Incorporation and/or the bylaws of the Predecessor.
The Reorganization constituted a tax-free organization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code;
Successor common stock traded in the OTC Markets under the Predecessor ticker symbol “IALS” under which the common stock of Predecessor previously listed and traded until the new ticker symbol “BSPI” was announced April 14, 2021, on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s daily list with a market effective date of April 15, 2021. The CUSIP Number 45841W107 for IALS’s common stock was suspended upon market effectiveness. The Company received a new CUSIP Number 12330M107.
After completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, 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 Company abandoned the business plan of its Predecessor and resumed its former business plan of a blank check company after completion of the Merger.
On May 4, 2021, Business Solutions Plus, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among Flint Consulting Services, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company (“FLINT”), and White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company (“WKC”), pursuant to which, on May 7, 2021, (“Closing Date”) , FLINT sold 405,516,868 shares of the Company’s Restricted Common Stock and 1,000,000 Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, representing approximately 93.70% voting control of the Company. WKC paid consideration of three hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($325,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with WKC becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder.
The sole shareholder of White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japanese Company, is Koichi Ishizuka.
On May 7, 2021, Mr. Paul Moody resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director.
On May 7, 2021, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director.
A Certificate of Amendment to change our name, from Business Solutions Plus, Inc., to WB Burgers Asia, Inc. was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on June 18, 2021, with a legal effective date of July 2, 2021. The name change to WB Burgers Asia, Inc., as well as a change of our ticker symbol from BSPI to WBBA, was announced by FINRA, via their “daily list”, on July 7, 2021, with a market effective date of both on July 8, 2021. The new CUSIP number associated with our common stock, as of the market effective date of July 8, 2021, is 94684P100.
On July 1, 2021, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, resulting in an increase to our authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,500,000,000.
On September 14, 2021, we entered into an “Acquisition Agreement” with White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, whereas we issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to White Knight Co., Ltd., in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Pursuant to the agreement, on October 1, 2021, White Knight Co., Ltd. agrees to, and has since forgiven any outstanding loans with WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. as of October 1, 2021. Following this transaction, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. became our wholly owned subsidiary which we now operate through.
The aforementioned Acquisition Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14, 2021. All references to the Acquisition Agreement are qualified, in their entirety, by the text of such exhibit.
WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., referred to herein as “WBJ”, which we now operate through and share the same business plan of, holds the rights to the “Master Franchise Agreement” with Jakes’ Franchising LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, as it pertains to the establishment and operation of Wayback Burger Restaurants within the country of Japan.
The Master Franchise Agreement provides WBJ the right to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the country of Japan, and also license affiliated and unaffiliated third parties (“Franchisees”) to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Country of Japan. The Master Franchise Agreement, amongst other things, also provides WBJ the right of first refusal to enter into a subsequent Master Franchise Agreement with Jake’s Franchising, LLC to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Countries of Indonesia, Malaysia (Eastern Malaysia only, Western Malaysia if it becomes available as it is currently licensed to another party), the Philippines, Vietnam, China, India, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Taiwan.
WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. seeks to make “Wayback Burgers” a nationally recognized brand, if not a household name, within the country of Japan through the promotion and opening of various Wayback Burgers Restaurants.
Following the acquisition of our now wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., on September 14, 2021, we ceased to be a shell company. Immediately upon our acquisition of WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. we adopted the same business plan as WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd.
On November 9, 2021, our wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., consummated a lease agreement with Arai Co., Ltd., a Japanese realty group, for the location of our first Wayback Burgers restaurant. The property is located in the popular shopping plaza of Omotesando, located in the Tokyo prefecture.
On or about February 8, 2022, we incorporated Store Foods Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Store Foods Co., Ltd. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Currently, Koichi Ishizuka is the sole Officer and Director of Store Foods Co., Ltd. At present, Store Foods Co., Ltd. has yet to commence operations.
To date, Store Foods Co., Ltd. has yet to commence operations. While our future plans for Store Foods Co., Ltd. are not definitive and may change, the intended business purpose of the Company is as follows:
1. Food sales;
2. Food wholesale and retail;
3. Chain organizations consisting of food retailers as members;
4. Restaurants;
5. Manufacturing and sales of boxed lunches for catering;
6. Alcohol sales;
7. Health supplement and health drink sales;

10. System development;
11. Delivery;
12. Application development and sales;
13. Advertising;

15. All businesses incidental to any of the above.
On March 11, 2022, we opened our first flagship Wayback Burgers location, with dine in options, to the public in the Omotesando shopping plaza. At this location, we offer an array of quick bites, including, but not limited to, traditional hamburgers, fries, shakes, and other alternatives.
In August of 2022, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., entered into and consummated a rental agreement with “Kitchen Depot” for a ghost kitchen in the Tamachi neighborhood of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Kitchen Depot is an unrelated third party, and the rental agreement is for a period of two years, with the option to renew at the conclusion. From this location, as of August 27, 2022, the Company has begun to offer delivery of Wayback Burgers menu items, such as those offered at the Company’s physical “dine in” restaurant location in the Omotesando shopping plaza, located in Tokyo, Japan. This location only offers a delivery option with no option to dine in.
On August 17, 2023, our majority shareholder, White Knight Co., Ltd., and Koichi Ishizuka, our sole Officer and Director, executed a resolution to ratify, affirm, and approve to file an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on August 17, 2023, effective immediately.
The Amended and Restated Certificated of Incorporation resulted in an increase to the authorized shares of our Common Stock from One Billion Five Hundred Million (1,500,000,000) to Five Billion (5,000,000,000). It also revised the rights of Series A Preferred Stock, now allowing each one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted into one thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock at the discretion of the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock.
On August 18, 2023, our majority shareholder, White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japanese Company, owned and controlled by our sole Officer and Director, Koichi Ishizuka, elected to convert its 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of WB Burgers Asia, Inc. into shares of Common Stock. This conversion has been approved by the Company, and the conversion became effective on August 18, 2023. Every 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock was converted into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, for a total of 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

The Master Franchise Agreement provides WBJ the right to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the country of Japan, and also license affiliated and unaffiliated third parties (“Franchisees”) to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Country of Japan, this agreement lasts for a term of twenty years, unless it is terminated sooner in accordance with terms outlined in the Master Franchise Agreement, and may be extended one additional, consecutive term of ten years. In exchange for such rights, we paid Jake’s Franchising $2,700,000 USD, and we must pay an additional $10,000 for each additional company operated Wayback Burgers restaurant and for each sub-franchised location the fee is either $10,000 or 28.57% of the initial franchise fee collected for such Restaurant, whichever is greater. Additionally, there is also a royalty fee in the amount of three percent (3%) of the Gross Sales of all Company-Operated Wayback Burgers Restaurants in the Country and the greater of two percent (2%) of the Gross Sales of all Franchised Wayback Burgers Restaurants in the Country or forty percent (40%) of the royalty fees collected for all Franchised Wayback Burgers Restaurants in the Country. The Master Franchise Agreement, amongst other things, also provides WBJ the right of first refusal to enter into a subsequent Master Franchise Agreement with Jake’s Franchising, LLC to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Countries of Indonesia, Malaysia (Eastern Malaysia only, Western Malaysia if it becomes available as it is currently licensed to another party), the Philippines, Vietnam, China, India, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Taiwan.
The Master Franchise Agreement dictates specific duties we must perform which include, but are not limited to, providing Jake’s Franchising with plans and specifications for restaurant locations, provide employees with Wayback Burgers mandated training, present Jake’s Franchising with copies of all potential advertising and promotional material, etc. Furthermore, we are required to open one Wayback Burgers restaurant by the end of the 2022 calendar year, three restaurants by the end of the 2023 calendar year, and an additional three restaurants must open, and remain in operation, every following year until December 31, 2041, at which time we must have sixty Wayback Burgers restaurants open and in operation. If we fail to meet these targets, then we would need to renegotiate terms with Jake’s Franchising, or we could potentially lose our master franchise rights in their entirety. For full terms and details of the Master Franchise Agreement, one can view a complete copy which has been filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 16, 2021. The Master Franchise Agreement is included herein by reference, please refer to the exhibits.
WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. seeks to make “Wayback Burgers” a nationally recognized brand, if not a household name, within the country of Japan through the promotion and opening of various Wayback Burgers Restaurants.
Following the acquisition of our now wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., on September 14, 2021, we ceased to be a shell company. Immediately upon our acquisition of WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. we adopted the same business plan as WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd.
Background
The first Wayback Burgers, previously known as Jake’s Wayback Burgers, began with a single location in Newark, Delaware approximately thirty-one years ago in 1991, offering a combination of burgers, hot dogs, fries, milkshakes, and other similar menu options. Since then, it has reached a global scale with a presence in the US, Europe, Africa, and Asia with hundreds of corporate owned restaurants and over five hundred franchise locations worldwide offering much of the same comfort items many have grown accustomed to, with the addition of a few menu items specifically geared toward the pallets of those in various demographics.
The products we seek to offer in our anticipated location(s), and those we seek to franchise to within Japan, will also offer many of the same product offerings many are accustomed to elsewhere such as hamburgers, hot dogs chicken sandwiches, hand-dipped milkshakes, various side dishes, fresh salad, kid’s meals, refreshing drinks and alcoholic beverages. We intend to source our ingredients in any of our current or future location(s) from highly regarded local Japanese suppliers in order to satisfy the food quality standards as set by Wayback Burgers Inc., within the United States.
Our First Location
On November 9, 2021, our wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., consummated a lease agreement with Arai Co., Ltd., a Japanese realty group, for the location in which we now operate our first Wayback Burgers restaurant. The property is located in the popular shopping plaza of Omotesando, located in the Tokyo prefecture, in the country of Japan. We believe the high volume of foot traffic and shopping will yield a large group of patrons seeking to try our product offerings.
On March 11, 2022 we opened our first flagship Wayback Burgers location to the public in the Omotesando shopping plaza in Japan. We offer an array of quick bites, including, but not limited to, traditional hamburgers, fries, shakes, and other alternatives.
Other Current Locations
In August of 2022, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., entered into and consummated a rental agreement with “Kitchen Depot” for a ghost kitchen in the Tamachi neighborhood of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Kitchen Depot is an unrelated third party, and the rental agreement is for a period of two years, with the option to renew at the conclusion. From this location, as of August 27, 2022, the Company has begun to offer delivery of Wayback Burgers menu items, such as those offered at the Company’s physical “dine in” restaurant location in the Omotesando shopping plaza, located in Tokyo, Japan. This new location only offers a delivery option with no option to dine in.
At this time, orders can be placed through UberEats, Damaekan, and Menu. The Company believes that its Wayback Burgers delivery-only location, with convenient online ordering, will serve to not only attract additional customers, but will also expand awareness of our menu items and Wayback Burgers as a whole.
Mobile Application
The Company has entered the final stage of development for its own mobile application for food delivery services. At present, the Company is finalizing development, and is in the process of finalizing plans for the launch of the application, hiring delivery staff, etc. At this point in time, we do not have a timeframe for when we intend to launch our mobile application.

Marketing Strategy
In order to grow an initial customer base, from which we intend to launch future expansion efforts, our marketing strategy begins with the physical location of our flagship restaurant. Our current location in Omotesando is in a shopping center with high foot-traffic that can serve to attract not only customers, but also future franchisee prospects throughout Japan. For future franchisee locations, we intend to identify areas where competitors are not already located, such as road-side in the outskirts of major cities, and open our restaurants in these areas.
However, we do not intend to rely solely on our physical location in order to attract customers, we also are in the early stages of our marketing stratagem comprised, in part, of SNS (social networking service) marketing through collaboration with influencers and celebrities, magazine advertisements, and expansive television and media appearances.
Wayback Burgers in Japan intends to position itself as a newly entered and authentic American hamburger brand, comparable to our competitor Shack Shake, while contrasting ourselves through offering higher quality foods at competitive price points. We plan to achieve this by focusing on the ingredients, such as the option of vegetables in our hamburgers, the increased diameter of our meat patties, and the overall volume of our menu items. Additionally, we intend to offer original Japanese breakfast and dinner menu options, as well as forming a special collaboration focused on all-plant based alternative foods with Next Meats, Co., Ltd., a Japanese alternative meat company.
Expansion Plans
We have forecasted our expansion plans over the next few years, however, as we have just recently commenced operations, we may find that our plans may be materially altered, expanded, or curtailed as dictated by market forces at the time. As such, our expansion plans should be read as a framework for our future goals, but not a guarantee that we will carry out any or all such operations in the indicated timeline.
At present, our expansion plans are as follows:
- On March 11, 2022 we opened our first flagship Wayback Burgers location to the public in the Omotesando shopping plaza in Japan. We offer an array of quick bites, including, but not limited to, traditional hamburgers, fries, shakes, and other alternatives. We intend to utilize our franchise location to host meetings with all franchise candidates. In addition to our general marketing plans, which includes social media and internet advertising, we intend to utilize our flagship location to showcase any collaborative events/activities that we may engage in, which we believe may assist us in garnering the interest of future franchisees.
- By the conclusion of 2024 , we are aiming to open five Wayback Burgers restaurants throughout Japan, with one of these restaurants directly managed by us while the remaining four would ideally be franchise locations. This number may increase or decrease depending on the results of our operations.
- Additionally, by the conclusion of 2024 , we intend to execute another master franchise agreement in Asia for the right to open Wayback Burgers restaurants in another Asian country or territory. We have not yet identified which country or territory we will seek to acquire these rights for first. As noted previously, we have the right of first refusal to enter into a subsequent Master Franchise Agreement with Jake’s Franchising, LLC to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Countries of Indonesia, Malaysia (Eastern Malaysia only, Western Malaysia if it becomes available as it is currently licensed to another party), the Philippines, Vietnam, China, India, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Taiwan.
Partnerships
The company believes partnerships are a vital means to expansion and that partnerships with other food institutions or distributors may allow the Company to provide menu items that might appeal to a larger demographic within the Japanese market.
Our current Officer and Director, Koichi Ishizuka has existing ties and relationships with Next Meats Co., Ltd. a Japanese plant alternative meat company, that produces and sells plant-based foods (predominantly meat alternatives) to consumers. As a result of the collaboration with Next Meats Co., Ltd., at our flagship Wayback Burgers restaurant we have been able to add alternative meat options into its menu, and in the future we may create customized menu options as provided by Next Meats Co., Ltd. Menu alterations are subject to approval by Jake’s Franchising, LLC. It is the belief of management that such offerings can gain a larger market share in the country of Japan allowing for greater growth potential. However, such plans are speculative and may not materialize. It is also possible that if such plans do materialize, they may not result in the expected level of growth the Company forecasts as a result of the partnership or partnerships it enters into. Additionally, we may explore the possibility of entering into an agreement with Dr. Foods, Inc., a company in the “alternative meat” industry which has common management with the Company.
It should be noted that Koichi ishizuka has an equity interest in Next Meats Holdings, Inc., a Nevada Company. He also currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Director of Next Meats Holdings, Inc. Next Meats Co., Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Next Meats Holdings, Inc. Koichi Ishizuka is also the Sole Officer, Director, and controlling shareholder of Dr. Foods, Inc.
Government Regulations
The below does not extensively detail every single law and regulation to which the Company may be subject to, but rather provides an overview of the kind of food safety standards to which our restaurant(s) will be held.
The main law that governs food quality and integrity in Japan is the Food Sanitation Act ("FSA") and the law that comprehensively governs food labelling regulation is the Food Labelling Act.
The FSA regulates food quality and integrity by:
- Establishing standards and specifications for food, additives, apparatus, and food containers and packaging;
- Providing for inspection to see whether the established standards are met;
- Providing for hygiene management in the manufacture and sale of food; and
- Requiring food businesses to be licensed.
Under the FSA, additives and foods containing additives must not be sold, or be produced, imported, processed, used, stored, or displayed for marketing purposes unless the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare ("MHLW") has declared them as having no risk to human health after seeking the views of the Pharmaceutical Affairs and Food Sanitation Council ("PAFSC"). In addition, it is not permissible to add any processing aids, vitamins, minerals, novel foods or nutritive substances to food unless they have been expressly declared by the MHLW as having no risk to human health.
The MHLW may establish specifications for methods of producing, processing, using, cooking, or preserving food or additives to be served to the public for marketing purposes ("Specifications"), or may establish standards for food ingredients or additives to be served to the public for marketing purposes ("Standards") pursuant to the FSA. Accordingly, where substances are allowed to be added to food, they may only be used within the limits expressly set by the Specifications and Standards.
In order to operate a restaurant in Japan, we were required to obtain, and have obtained, a restaurant business license from a local health center. The requirement to obtain this license is that we must have, and we currently do have, an employee to act as a director of food sanitation, and a fire protection manager. Additionally, we must pay consumption tax, corporate tax, social insurance for our employees, as well as welfare pension for our employees. We follow all related guidelines and the company directly pays all such fees in order to remain in compliance.
Employees
Currently, we, “WB Burgers Asia, Inc.”, have only one employee, our sole officer and Director Koichi Ishizuka, who is not compensated at present for his services. Our wholly subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. has two officers, Koichi Ishizuka, Chief Executive Officer, Mitsuru Anthony, Co-Chief Operating Officer.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price per share of common stock pursuant to this offering, which is not to exceed a fixed price of $0.20, was arbitrarily determined. The offering price was determined by us and is based on our own assessment of our financial condition and prospects, limited operating history, and the general condition of the securities market. It does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value.
We are quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s Pink® Open Market (the “OTC Pink”) under the symbol WBBA.
There is no assurance that our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus will trade in excess of the current market price of our common stock as may be quoted by the OTC Markets Group’s OTC Pink tier.
The current and future market price of our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for the common stock, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions.

The price of the current offering is to be fixed and not exceed a maximum price of $0.20 per share of common stock for the duration of the offering.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.
The following table illustrates the dilution to the purchasers of the common stock in this offering. Net tangible book value in the below table does not include our “Franchise Rights”, which are deemed to be an intangible asset.
Note: “Net increase to original shareholder” below is based upon a par value of $0.0001.

1 We were a party to a corporate reorganization, legally effective as of March 31, 2021. Information regarding this reorganization is detailed herein on page 2 and elsewhere herein. Prior to this reorganization, we have no information to report pursuant to the above table. The quarter ending April 30, 2021, only includes data stemming back to March 31, 2021.
Holders
As of the date of this registration statement, we have approximately 220 shareholders of record. This is inclusive of Cede and Co., which is deemed to be one shareholder of record. For further clarification, Cede & Co. is currently defined by the “NASDAQ”, as “a Nominee name for The Depository Trust Company, a large clearing house that holds shares in its name for banks, brokers and institutions in order to expedite the sale and transfer of stock.”
Penny Stock Regulation
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.

Corporate Governance
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the SEC and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Director as the Company is not required to do so.
In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Director, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company's financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants.
The Board of Directors, comprised solely of Koichi Ishizuka, who also serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviews the Company's internal accounting controls, practices and policies.
- 29 -
Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Director believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the Director can adequately perform the functions of such committees.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors, consisting solely of Koichi Ishizuka, 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 the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.
We believe that our Director is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Director of our Company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of Directors, consisting solely of Koichi Ishizuka, can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent Director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any net positive cash flows from operations to date.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our Director and our Executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
| 1. | Bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
| 2. | Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
| 3. | Being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |
| 4. | Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. |
| 5. | Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated; |
| 6. | Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated; |
| 7. | Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or(ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or |
| 8. | Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. |
Independence of Directors
We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are required to do so.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the 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 Director expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Shareholder Proposals
Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Director. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our Sole Officer and Director, Koichi Ishizuka, at the address appearing on the first page of this Registration Statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of WB Burgers Asia, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WB Burgers Asia, Inc. (the Company) as of July 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the two-year period ended July 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the two-year period ended July 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Restatement to Correct Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2021 consolidated financial statement has been restated to correct misstatements discovered during the current year.
The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans in regarding these matters are also described in Note 4. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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, audits 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audits Matters
The critical audits matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audits of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audits committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audits matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audits matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audits matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Going Concern
As discussed in Note 4 the Company has negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses, which are difficult to substantiate.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

Notes to Consolidated Audited Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
We were originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 30, 2019, under the name Business Solutions Plus, Inc.
On August 30, 2019, Paul Moody was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Business Solutions Plus, Inc.
On March 3, 2021, Business Solutions Plus, Inc. (the “Company” or “Successor”) transmuted its business plan from that of a blank check shell company to forming a holding company that is a business combination related shell company. The reason for the change being that our former sole director desired to complete a holding company reorganization (“Reorganization”) pursuant to NRS 92A.180, NRS A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250. The constituent corporations in the Reorganization were InterActive Leisure Systems, Inc. (“IALS” or “Predecessor”), the Company and Business Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Our former director was the sole director/officer of each constituent corporation in the Reorganization. In preparation of the Reorganization, our former sole and controlling shareholder, Flint Consulting Services, LLC cancelled and returned to the Company’s treasury all issued and outstanding common shares of the Company held and owned by it. The Company issued 1,000 common shares of its common stock to Predecessor and Merger Sub issued 1,000 shares of its common stock to the Company prior to the Reorganization. Immediately prior to the merger, the Company was a wholly owned direct subsidiary of IALS and Merger Sub was a wholly owned and direct subsidiary of the Company.
On March 22, 2021, the company filed articles of merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger became effective on March 31, 2021 at 4:00 PM EST(“Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, Predecessor merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger), and Predecessor was the surviving corporation. Each share of Predecessor common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Successor common stock.
In addition, the new ticker symbol “BSPI” was announced April 14, 2021 on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s daily list with a market effective date of April 15, 2021. The Company received a new CUSIP Number 12330M107.
On May 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among Flint Consulting Services, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company (“FLINT”), and White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company (“WKC”), pursuant to which, on May 7, 2021, (“Closing Date”), FLINT sold 405,516,868 shares of the Company’s Restricted Common Stock and 1,000,000 Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, representing approximately 93.70% voting control of the Company. WKC paid consideration of three hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($325,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with WKC becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder.
The sole shareholder of White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japanese Company, is Koichi Ishizuka.
On the Closing Date, Mr. Paul Moody resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer. In addition, Mr. Moody resigned as Director on the Closing Date. Also on the Closing Date, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director.
On June 18, 2021, our majority shareholder, White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, and our sole Director Mr. Koichi Ishizuka, executed a resolution to ratify, affirm, and approve a name and ticker symbol change of the Company from Business Solutions Plus, Inc., to WB Burgers Asia, Inc. A Certificate of Amendment to change our name was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State with an effective date of July 2, 2021.
On July 1, 2021, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, resulting in an increase to our authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,500,000,000.
On September 14, 2021 we entered into an “Acquisition Agreement” with White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, whereas we issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to White Knight Co., Ltd., in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Pursuant to the agreement, on October 1, 2021, White Knight Co., Ltd. has agreed to, and has subsequently forgiven any outstanding loans with WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. as of October 1, 2021. Following this transaction, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. became our wholly owned subsidiary which we now operate through.
In regards to the above transaction, the Company claims an exemption from registration afforded by Section Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S") for the above sales/issuances of the stock since the sales/issuances of the stock were made to non-U.S. persons (as defined under Rule 902 section (k)(2)(i) of Regulation S), pursuant to offshore transactions, and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.
On September 14, 2021, we acquired 100% of the equity interest of WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Following the acquisition, we ceased to be a shell company and adopted the same business plan as that of our now wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. WB Burgers Japan Co. (“WBBJ”), which we now operate through and share the same business plan of, holds the rights to the “Master Franchise Agreement” with Jakes’ Franchising LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, as it pertains to the establishment and operation of Wayback Burger Restaurants within the country of Japan. The Master Franchise Agreement provides WBBJ the right to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the country of Japan, and also license affiliated and unaffiliated third parties (“Franchisees”) to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Country of Japan. The Master Franchise Agreement, amongst other things, also provides WBBJ the right of first refusal to enter into a subsequent Master Franchise Agreement with Jake’s Franchising, LLC to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Countries of Indonesia, Malaysia (Eastern Malaysia only, Western Malaysia if it becomes available as it is currently licensed to another party), the Philippines, Vietnam, China, India, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Taiwan. At the time these shares were issued and WBBJ became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, all rights and obligations previously held by WBBJ, particularly the franchise rights of approximately $2.7 million and the associated related party loan, became those of the Company. This was a common control transaction and we have shown this consolidation retrospectively in the restatement of the fiscal 2021 financial statements (see Notes 2 and 10).
On February 9, 2022, we incorporated Store Foods Co., Ltd. (“Store Foods”), a Japan Company. Store Foods is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and currently Koichi Ishizuka is the sole Officer and Director. As of July 31, 2022, operations for Store Foods had not yet commenced. As a result, we now have two wholly owned subsidiaries, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd, and Store Foods Co., Ltd., both of which are Japan Companies.
While our plans for Store Foods are not definitive and may change, the intended business purpose of the Company is as follows:
1. Food sales;
2. Food wholesale and retail;
3. Chain organizations consisting of food retailers as members;
4. Restaurants;
5. Manufacturing and sales of boxed lunches for catering;
6. Alcohol sales;
7. Health supplement and health drink sales;
8. Manufacturing and sales of functional foods;
9. Lease of goods related to restaurant management;
10. System development;
11. Delivery;
12. Application development and sales;
13. Advertising;
14. Management consulting;
15. All businesses incidental to any of the above.
The Company’s main office is located at 3F K’s Minamiaoyama 6-6-20 Minamiaoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo
107-0062, Japan.
The Company has elected July 31st as its year end.

Note 2 - Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
We have restated herein our audited consolidated financial statements at July 31, 2021 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021. We have also restated impacted amounts within the accompanying footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
Restatement Background
In August of 2022, the sole director of WB Burgers Asia, Inc.(the “Company”) was advised by M&K CPAs PLLC (“M&K”), its registered independent public accounting firm, that the Company’s previously issued financial statements included in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2021, should be restated to correct historical errors related to the recognition of cash received for the sale of shares, the calculation of the fair market value of shares issued, and classifications due to the recapitalization of the Company. The restated financials also show the differences between this current Form 10-K and the previously filed report due to the consolidation of financial reporting to include all activity of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers, Japan Co., Ltd (“WBBJ”). WBBJ became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in September of 2021, after the preparation of the previous Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2021. As a result, we determined that we would restate such financial statements to correct the accounting errors and also highlight the restatement differences resulting from the financial consolidation of the Company and its subsidiary.
Description of misstatements
(1) Recognition of cash received for the sale of shares and recording of the related issuance of shares
We recorded adjustments for cash received for the sale of common shares that was incorrectly recognized. On July 1, 2021, cash for the purchase of 9,090,909 shares of common stock was received by related party, White Knight Co., Ltd. and was not held by the Company, via its subsidiary, until September 2021. Additionally, these shares were not issued to the purchaser on July 1, 2021 as previously reported but were issued after the fiscal year end, in October 2021.
(2) Recognition of financial activity of wholly owned subsidiary
We recorded adjustments made to the financial statements due to the consolidation of financial information with our wholly owned subsidiary.
(3) Adjustment to the fair market value of shares issued as compensation
We recorded an adjustment to the value of 1,000,000 shares of Series A preferred shares issued as compensation due to the adoption of a third party evaluation of those shares, which differed from our previous valuation.
(4) Retroactive restatements of shares cancelled and returned and shares exchanged in merger and reorganization
We recorded adjustments to the statement of owners’ equity to account for the revision, by the Company’s transfer agent, of the dates of shares cancelled and returned, and also shares exchanged pursuant to a reorganization. These retroactive date changes were due to the recapitalization of the Company pursuant to its reorganization, legally effective March 31, 2021 and when control of the Company passed from our previous controlling shareholder to our current controlling shareholder, who is our CEO and sole director, Koichi Ishizuka.
(5) Reclassification of additional paid-in capital
We reclassed the amount of expenses paid on behalf of the Company on the Statement of Cash Flows to properly report those payments as cash provided by operating activities rather than cash provided by financing activities.
Description of Restatement Tables
The following tables represent our restated consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flow for the year ended July 31, 2021. In the restated consolidated financial statement tables, we have presented a reconciliation from our prior period as previously reported to the restated values. The values as previously reported for fiscal year 2021 were derived from our 2021 Annual Report, filed on November 3, 2021.

Note 3 - 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.
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 July 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021 were $126,669 and $30,021, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, as this was the first quarter that the Company generated revenues. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. Under ASC 606, disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows affected by economic factors.
Foreign currency translation
The Company maintains its books and records in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of shareholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:
| July 31, | ||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||
| Current JPY:US$1 exchange rate | 134.61 | 109.49 | ||||
| Average JPY:US$1 exchange rate | 119.62 | 109.69 | ||||
Comprehensive income or loss
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Inventory
Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, and are valued at the lower of cost or market value. This valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment loss. The initial cost of the assets comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the respective assets.
ROU lease assets and liabilities
The Company capitalizes all leased assets pursuant to ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from Topic 842 as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company adopted the standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.
Franchise Rights and amortization
Franchise rights are stated at cost less amortization. Initial cost of the asset comprises the deposit and fees paid to the franchisor. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the life of the recognized asset, which is the duration of the contract held between the Company and the franchisor.
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 July 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021 except for an accrual of $520 for Japanese income taxes payable by our wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd.
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
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.
- F8 -
The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments as of July 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 July 31, 2022 and 2021. 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.
Share-Based Compensation
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 July 31, 2022.
The Company’s stock-based compensation for the periods ended July 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021 were $0 and $53,008, 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.
Note 4 - 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 established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital and the sale of shares of stock. 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 5 - Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.
- F9 -
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 July 31, 2022, the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $1,712,727 which resulted in a net operating loss for income tax purposes. The loss results in a deferred tax asset of approximately $359,673 at the effective statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset has been offset by an equal valuation allowance. Given our inception on August 30, 2019, and our fiscal year end of July 31, 2022, we have completed three taxable fiscal years as of July 31, 2022.
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company has incurred a net operating loss carryforward of $359,673 which begins expiring in 2036. The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for non-capital losses carried forward. The potential benefit of the net operating loss has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the loss carried forward in future years.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:
| July 31, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | ||||||
| Deferred tax asset, generated from net operating loss | $ | 359,673 | $ | 30,480 | |||
| Valuation allowance | (359,673) | (30,480) | |||||
| $ | — | $ | — | ||||
The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate is as follows:
| Federal income tax rate 21.0% | 21.0 | % | ||
| Increase in valuation allowance (21.0%) | (21.0 | %) | ||
| Effective income tax rate 0.0% | 0.0 | % |
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
Note 6 - 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 July 31, 2022 and 2021.
Note 7 - Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.
As of July 31, 2022 and 2021 fixed assets were made up of the following:
| Estimated | ||||||||||||
| Useful | ||||||||||||
| Life | July 31, | July 31, | ||||||||||
| (approx. years) | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||
| Furniture fixtures and equipment | 5 | $ | 48,408 | $ | - | |||||||

| Accumulated depreciation | (73,669 | ) | - | |||||||||
| Net book value | $ | 805,882 | $ | - | ||||||||
Total depreciation expense for the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, was $73,669 and $0, respectively, all of which was recorded in our general and administrative expenses on our statement of operations.
Note 8 - Right of Use Asset
The Company capitalizes all leased assets pursuant to ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from Topic 842 as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company adopted the standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.
Our adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and subsequent ASUs related to Topic 842, requires us to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as an ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures as detailed below.
We determine if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. We review all options to extend, terminate, or purchase the ROU assets, and when reasonably certain to exercise, we include the option in the determination of the lease term and lease liability.
Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the lease, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes any lease incentives. When readily determinable, we use the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term.
The tables below present financial information associated with our leases. As noted above, we adopted Topic 842 using a transition method that does not require application to periods prior to adoption. The initial recognition of the ROU operating lease was $653,704 for both the ROU asset and ROU liability. As of July 31, 2022, the ROU lease liability was $442,025.
| Balance Sheet Classification | July 31, 2022 | July 31, 2021 | |||

Note 10 - Franchise Rights
On June 9, 2021, our wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd (WBBJ), entered into a Master Franchise Agreement with Wayback Burgers. Compensation of approximately $2,275,204 was paid by WBBJ to Jake Franchise for these franchise rights. These funds were borrowed from related party White Knight. In addition, White Knight paid approximately $395,673 directly to Jake Franchise which was also considered a loan to the company. These payments were originally combined as a loan to the Company and $2,317,272 of this loan has since been forgiven and is posted as additional paid-in capital. The franchise rights are being amortized over a 20 year period. The amortization expense was approximately $122,659 and approximately $24,399 for the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Note 11 - Accrued Expenses and Other Payables
Accrued expenses and other payables totaled $5,040 and $9,250 at July 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, and consisted primarily of professional fees.
Note 12 - Other Income (Expense)

Note 13 - Shareholder Equity
Preferred Stock
The authorized preferred stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.0001. There were 1,000,000 Series A preferred shares issued and outstanding as of July 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences to be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our authorized Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.
Of the 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 1,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value each. Series A Preferred stock pay no dividends, have no right to convert into common stock or any other class of securities of the Corporation, and each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to one thousand (1,000) votes of Common Stock. With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws.
On February 9, 2021, the Company filed, with the Secretary of State of Nevada, (“NSOS”) Restated Articles of Incorporation which amended the par value and authorized preferred stock.

On September 14, 2021 we entered into an “Acquisition Agreement” with White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, whereas we issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to White Knight Co., Ltd., in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Pursuant to the agreement, on October 1, 2021, White Knight Co., Ltd. has agreed to, and has subsequently forgiven any outstanding loans with WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. as of October 1, 2021. Following this transaction, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. became our wholly owned subsidiary which we now operate through. WB Burgers Japan Co.

The Master Franchise Agreement provides WBBJ the right to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the country of Japan, and also license affiliated and unaffiliated third parties (“Franchisees”) to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Country of Japan. The Master Franchise Agreement, amongst other things, also provides WBBJ the right of first refusal to enter into a subsequent Master Franchise Agreement with Jake’s Franchising, LLC to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Countries of Indonesia, Malaysia (Eastern Malaysia only, Western Malaysia if it becomes available as it is currently licensed to another party), the Philippines, Vietnam, China, India, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Taiwan. At the time these shares were issued and WBBJ became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, all rights and obligations previously held by WBBJ, particularly the franchise rights of approximately $2.7 million and the associated related party loan, became those of the Company. This was a common control transaction and we have shown this consolidation retrospectively in the restatement of the fiscal 2021 financial statements (see Notes 2 and 10).

WB Burgers Asia, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
We were originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 30, 2019, under the name Business Solutions Plus, Inc.
On August 30, 2019, Paul Moody was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Business Solutions Plus, Inc.
On March 3, 2021, Business Solutions Plus, Inc. (the “Company” or “Successor”) transmuted its business plan from that of a blank check shell company to forming a holding company that is a business combination related shell company. The reason for the change being that our former sole director desired to complete a holding company reorganization (“Reorganization”) pursuant to NRS 92A.180, NRS A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250. The constituent corporations in the Reorganization were InterActive Leisure Systems, Inc. (“IALS” or “Predecessor”), the Company and Business Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Our former director was the sole director/officer of each constituent corporation in the Reorganization. In preparation of the Reorganization, our former sole and controlling shareholder, Flint Consulting Services, LLC cancelled and returned to the Company’s treasury all issued and outstanding common shares of the Company held and owned by it. The Company issued 1,000 common shares of its common stock to Predecessor and Merger Sub issued 1,000 shares of its common stock to the Company prior to the Reorganization. Immediately prior to the merger, the Company was a wholly owned direct subsidiary of IALS and Merger Sub was a wholly owned and direct subsidiary of the Company.
On March 22, 2021, the company filed articles of merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger became effective on March 31, 2021 at 4:00 PM EST(“Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, Predecessor merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger), and Predecessor was the surviving corporation. Each share of Predecessor common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Successor common stock.
In addition, the new ticker symbol “BSPI” was announced April 14, 2021 on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s daily list with a market effective date of April 15, 2021. The Company received a new CUSIP Number 12330M107.
On May 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among Flint Consulting Services, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company (“FLINT”), and White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company (“WKC”), pursuant to which, on May 7, 2021, (“Closing Date”) , FLINT sold 405,516,868 shares of the Company’s Restricted Common Stock and 1,000,000 Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, representing approximately 93.70% voting control of the Company. WKC paid consideration of three hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($325,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with WKC becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder.
The sole shareholder of White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japanese Company, is Koichi Ishizuka.
On the Closing Date, Mr. Paul Moody resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer. In addition, Mr. Moody resigned as Director on the Closing Date. Also on the Closing Date, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director.
On June 18, 2021, our majority shareholder, White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, and our sole Director Mr. Koichi Ishizuka, executed a resolution to ratify, affirm, and approve a name and ticker symbol change of the Company from Business Solutions Plus, Inc., to WB Burgers Asia, Inc. A Certificate of Amendment to change our name was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State with an effective date of July 2, 2021.
On July 1, 2021, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, resulting in an increase to our authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,500,000,000.
On September 14, 2021 we entered into an “Acquisition Agreement” with White Knight Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, whereas we issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to White Knight Co., Ltd., in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Pursuant to the agreement, on October 1, 2021, White Knight Co., Ltd. has agreed to, and has subsequently forgiven any outstanding loans with WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. as of October 1, 2021. Following this transaction, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. became our wholly owned subsidiary which we now operate through.
In regards to the above transaction, the Company claims an exemption from registration afforded by Section Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S") for the above sales/issuances of the stock since the sales/issuances of the stock were made to non-U.S. persons (as defined under Rule 902 section (k)(2)(i) of Regulation S), pursuant to offshore transactions, and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.
On September 14, 2021, we acquired 100% of the equity interest of WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Following the acquisition, we ceased to be a shell company and adopted the same business plan as that of our now wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd. WB Burgers Japan Co. (“WBBJ”), which we now operate through and share the same business plan of, holds the rights to the “Master Franchise Agreement” with Jakes’ Franchising LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, as it pertains to the establishment and operation of Wayback Burger Restaurants within the country of Japan. The Master Franchise Agreement provides WBBJ the right to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the country of Japan, and also license affiliated and unaffiliated third parties (“Franchisees”) to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Country of Japan. The Master Franchise Agreement, amongst other things, also provides WBBJ the right of first refusal to enter into a subsequent Master Franchise Agreement with Jake’s Franchising, LLC to establish and operate Wayback Burgers restaurants in the Countries of Indonesia, Malaysia (Eastern Malaysia only, Western Malaysia if it becomes available as it is currently licensed to another party), the Philippines, Vietnam, China, India, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Taiwan. At the time these shares were issued and WBBJ became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, all rights and obligations previously held by WBBJ, particularly the franchise rights of approximately $2.7 million and the associated related party loan, became those of the Company. This was a common control transaction and we have shown this consolidation retrospectively in the restatement of the fiscal 2021 financial statements (see Notes 2 and 10).
On February 9, 2022, we incorporated Store Foods Co., Ltd. (“Store Foods”), a Japan Company. Store Foods is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and currently Koichi Ishizuka is the sole Officer and Director. As a result, we now have two wholly owned subsidiaries, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd, and Store Foods Co., Ltd., both of which are Japan Companies.
While our plans for Store Foods are not definitive and may change, the intended business purpose of the Company is as follows:
1. Food sales;
2. Food wholesale and retail;
3. Chain organizations consisting of food retailers as members;
4. Restaurants;
5. Manufacturing and sales of boxed lunches for catering;
6. Alcohol sales;
7. Health supplement and health drink sales;
8. Manufacturing and sales of functional foods;
9. Lease of goods related to restaurant management;
10. System development;
11. Delivery;
12. Application development and sales;
13. Advertising;
14. Management consulting;
15. All businesses incidental to any of the above.
The Company’s main office is located at 3F K’s Minamiaoyama 6-6-20 Minamiaoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo
107-0062, Japan.
The Company has elected July 31st as its year end.
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.
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 April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022 were $115,812 and $126,669, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, as this was the first quarter that the Company generated revenues. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. Under ASC 606, disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows affected by economic factors.
Foreign currency translation
The Company maintains its books and records in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of shareholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:
| April 30, | ||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||
| Current JPY:US$1 exchange rate | 134.13 | 128.86 | ||||
| Average JPY:US$1 exchange rate | 137.04 | 115.07 | ||||
Comprehensive income or loss
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Inventory
Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, and are valued at the lower of cost or market value. This valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment loss. The initial cost of the assets comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the respective assets.
ROU lease assets and liabilities
The Company capitalizes all leased assets pursuant to ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from Topic 842 as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company adopted the standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.
Franchise Rights and amortization
Franchise rights are stated at cost less amortization. Initial cost of the asset comprises the deposit and fees paid to the franchisor. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the life of the recognized asset, which is the duration of the contract held between the Company and the franchisor.
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 April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022 except for accruals of $0 and $520, respectively, for Japanese income taxes payable by our wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd.
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
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 April 30, 2023 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.
- F18 -
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 April 30, 2023 and July 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.
Share-Based Compensation
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 April 30, 2023.
The Company’s stock-based compensation for the periods ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022 were $0 for both periods.
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.
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 established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital and the sale of shares of stock. 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
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.
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 April 30, 2023, the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $3,569,822 which resulted in a net operating loss for income tax purposes. The loss results in a deferred tax asset of approximately $749,663 at the effective statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset has been offset by an equal valuation allowance. Given our inception on August 30, 2019, and our fiscal year end of July 31, 2022, we have completed three taxable fiscal years as of April 30, 2023.
- F19 -
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 April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022.
Note 6 - Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.
As of April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022 fixed assets were made up of the following:
| Estimated | ||||||||||||
| Useful | ||||||||||||
| Life | April 30, | July 31, | ||||||||||

Total depreciation expense for the periods ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, was $142,557 and $20,416, respectively, all of which was recorded in our general and administrative expenses on our statement of operations.
Note 7 - Right of Use Asset
The Company capitalizes all leased assets pursuant to ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from Topic 842 as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company adopted the standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.
Our adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and subsequent ASUs related to Topic 842, requires us to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as an ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures as detailed below.
We determine if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. We review all options to extend, terminate, or purchase the ROU assets, and when reasonably certain to exercise, we include the option in the determination of the lease term and lease liability.
Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the lease, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes any lease incentives. When readily determinable, we use the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term.
The tables below present financial information associated with our leases. As noted above, we adopted Topic 842 using a transition method that does not require application to periods prior to adoption. The initial recognition of the ROU operating lease was $653,704 for both the ROU asset and ROU liability. As of April 30, 2023, the ROU lease liability was $233,410.
| Balance Sheet Classification | April 30, 2023 | July 31, 2022 | |||
| Right-of-use assets | Lease asset long | $ | 216,288 | $ | 442,025 |
| Current lease liabilities | Short-term lease liability | 233,410 | 330,066 | ||
| Non-current lease liabilities | Lease liability long term | - | 148,822 | ||
| Maturities of lease liabilities as of April 30, 2023 are as follows: | |||||

Note 8 - Deposits
During the period ended July 31, 2022, the Company paid two security deposits for leased office and restaurant space totaling approximately $266,063 at the April 30, 2023 exchange rate.
Note 9 - Franchise Rights
On June 9, 2021, our wholly owned subsidiary, WB Burgers Japan Co., Ltd (WBBJ), entered into a Master Franchise Agreement with Wayback Burgers. Compensation of approximately $2,275,204 was paid by WBBJ to Jake Franchise for these franchise rights. These funds were borrowed from related party White Knight. In addition, White Knight paid approximately $395,673 directly to Jake Franchise which was also considered a loan to the company. These payments were originally combined as a loan to the Company and $2,317,272 of this loan has since been forgiven and is posted as additional paid-in capital. The Franchise rights are being amortized over a 20 year period. The amortization expense was approximately $80,326 and $57,165 for the periods ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Note 10 - Accrued Expenses and Other Payables
Accrued expenses and other payables totaled $15,551 and $5,040 at April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively, and consisted primarily of withholding taxes.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICERS
Under our Bylaws of the corporation, every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or Officer of another Corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time to time against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right, which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of Officers and Directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding must be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director or Officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such Directors, Officers, or representatives may have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of Stockholders, provision of law, or otherwise, as well as their rights under this Article.
Without limiting the application of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or Officer of another Corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person. The indemnification provided in this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, Employee, or Agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

RE: Opinion to be filed with an S-1 Registration statement to be filed by WB Burgers Asia, Inc., a Nevada corporation
Dear Sir,
This Opinion is in connection with a registration statement to be filed by WB Burgers Asia, Inc. a Nevada corporation on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the offering of 150,000,000 common shares . The Company’s selling shareholders are offering 123,239,977 shares of your common stock. It is my understanding that the Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders. The offering is being made on a self-underwritten, “best efforts” basis. There is no minimum number of shares required to be purchased by each investor. The shares offered by the Company will be sold on your behalf by your officers and Directors. The selling shareholders are also deemed to be underwriters of this offering.
You have requested my opinion as to the matters set forth below in connection with the Registration Statement. For purposes of this opinion, I have examined the Registration Statement, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation as amended, the Company’s Bylaws, the Exhibits attached to the Registration Statement as amended, the Subscription Agreements which, according to the Company have been executed by the 17 selling shareholders and such other documents and matters of law as I have deemed necessary for the expression of the opinion herein contained.
I have made assumptions that are customary in opinions of this kind, including the assumptions of the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted as copies thereof, and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion with respect to the registration of 123,239,977 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Shares”), for public sale by the Company’s selling shareholders as disclosed in the S-1 Registration Statement, the subject shares are validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and owned by the 17 selling shareholders. In connection with the registration of 150,000,000 shares of your common stock, for public sale by the issuer it is my opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and when issued and paid for as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, will be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
This opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States, and the applicable laws of the State of Nevada. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference made to this firm in the Registration Statement under the heading “Legal Matters.”
In all such examinations, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, and the conformity to the originals of all copies submitted to me by the parties herein. In passing upon certain corporate records and documents of the Company, I have necessarily assumed the correctness and completeness of the statements made or included therein by the Company, and I express no opinion thereon. As to the various questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied, to the extent I deemed reasonably appropriate, upon representations or of officers or directors of the Company and upon documents, records and instruments furnished to me by the Company, without verification except where such verification was readily ascertainable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the amended Registration Statement and to the use of my name under the caption "Interests of Named Experts and Counsel" in the prospectus comprising part of the Registration Statement.
This opinion is rendered pursuant to Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K under the Act and may not be used or relied upon for any other purpose. This opinion is given as of the effective date of the Registration Statement, and I assume no obligation to update or supplement the opinions contained herein to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in laws which may hereafter occur.
Sincerely
