Forward Looking Statements

 

This Form 10-K contains “forward-looking” statements including statements regarding our expectations of our future operations. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control.

 

These risks and uncertainties include demand for our products and services, governmental regulation of the cannabis industry, our ability to maintain customer and strategic business relationships, the impact of competitive products and pricing, growth in targeted markets, the adequacy of our liquidity and financial strength to support our growth, general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth, our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions, new product development and introduction, existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations, adverse publicity, difficulty in forecasting operating results, change in business strategy or development plans, business disruptions, and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Although the forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to announce publicly revisions we make to these forward-looking statements to reflect the effect of events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report. All written and oral forward-looking statements made subsequent to the date of this report and attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.

 

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in Nevada on September 10, 2013, as Betafox Corp., for the purpose of engaging in the business of manufacturing and selling candles. On May 11 2015, our principal stockholder at that time sold six million shares of our common stock, constituting approximately 73.8% of our issued and outstanding common shares at such time, to Future Continental Limited. In October 2015, Future Continental Limited sold those shares to Mr. Lei Pei, an affiliate of Future Continental Limited, in consideration of Mr. Pei’s agreement to serve as our director and CEO. On January 8, 2018, we changed our name to Wewards, Inc. Our corporate office is located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

We have developed and are the owner of a web-based platform accessible by mobile apps (the “Platform”) that will enable consumers to purchase goods from merchants and earn rebates payable in the form of Bitcoin. The Platform provides an innovative Bitcoin rewards ecosystem. It is designed to transform traditional concepts of commerce into a cooperative society where both merchants and consumers are collaborating, utilizing Bitcoin to reward consumers. The ecosystem provides consumers with rewards each time they complete a challenge defined by a merchant. This is intended to make the ecommerce process beneficial to all market participants, and to help distribute commercial wealth among and between the merchants and consumers.

 

We intend to generate revenue by licensing “white-label” versions of the Platform to third parties. However, to date, no such license agreement has been entered into, and we have not generated any revenues from the Platform.

 

On April 2, 2020, we purchased intellectual property rights (“IP”) from United Power, a Nevada corporation under common ownership with Lei Pei, our sole officer and director and majority shareholder, for cash consideration of $179,300, based on a price determined by an independent valuation.

 

The IP consists of technology and related rights associated with the game Megopoly, an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). Megopoly is an MMO board game where players are able to earn fractions of Bitcoins (satoshi) through buying, selling, and managing virtual real estate properties using in-game currency (Megopoly Coins). The game is similar in some respects to Monopoly.

 

1 
 

The game allows players around the world to interact with each other online. Players travel (move) through different parts of a city, earning profit by investing in properties, charging rent, acquiring bonus assets, and selling their properties to other players for in-game currency. A player is able to progress to higher levels of “cities” at any time.

 

The player’s goal in Megopoly is to earn Megopoly Coins by investing in properties and collecting rent from other players. Players can keep playing the game using their Megopoly Coins for the opportunity to earn more coins, or they can exchange those coins for Bitcoins based on real-time market exchange rates.

 

Megopoly is playable at any time through a web browser on a PC, tablet or smart phone, in both Chinese and English. The game has been designed for players of all skill levels.

 

We began generating revenues in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx Corp., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy, related parties of the Company, as our Chief Executive Officer, Lei Pei, is also the Chief Executive Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy. Pursuant to our license agreement with Sandbx Corp., we received a $50,000 initial setup fee, and a monthly royalty payment in the amount of 10% of net revenues from the sale of in-game assets by the licensee, or $5,000, whichever was greater, resulting in total revenues of $83,454 and $4,166 under this license agreement during the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The license agreement was terminated on May 16, 2021. The Company also entered into an agreement in January of 2021 with Sandbx Corp. to further develop the Megopoly game, whereby the Company has paid Sandbx Corp. monthly fees of $168,500, resulting in $842,500 of related party software development costs for the year ended May 31, 2021.

 

Employees

 

We currently have no full-time employees, other than our sole officer and director Mr. Lei Pei, who receives no salary.

 

Research and Development Expenditures

 

We intend to continue to make investments in research and development and product development in seeking to sustain and improve our competitive position and meet our customers’ needs.

 

Government Regulation

 

Because of the current regulatory uncertainties surrounding the Platform, we do not intend to operate the Platform in the United States unless and until we are satisfied that our operations will not be in violation of any statutes or regulations. At this time, we are unable to determine what governmental agencies, if any, will have jurisdiction over the Platform, or what effect, if any, those government regulations will have on the Platform. Currently, all of our operations consist of outsourced licensing arrangements.

 

Patents and Trademarks

 

We do not own any patents or trademarks.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

 

Our principal executive offices consist of 8,015 square feet of office space located at 2960 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89102. Prior to September 1, 2020, the Company subleased office space from United Power, Inc. (“United Power”), an affiliate of the Company by reason of common ownership with Lei Pei, the Company’s sole officer and director and majority shareholder, at a base monthly rent of $15,000. On September 1, 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement directly with the building’s owner, Future Property Limited, who is not a related party, for the same monthly rent of $15,000.

 

The term of our lease expires on March 8, 2023, and provides for a base monthly rent of $15,000, with increases of up to 3% each year based on increases, if any, of the Consumer Price Index. We have been informed by an independent real estate broker that the rent being charged by United is consistent with rents being charged by other landlords for commercial space in the area where the building is located.

 

Our anticipated future lease commitments on a fiscal year basis are as follows:

 

2022   $ 180,000
2023     135,000
Total   $ 315,000

 

We believe that our current facilities are adequate for our current needs. We intend to secure new facilities or expand existing facilities as necessary to support future growth. We believe that suitable additional space will be available on commercially reasonable terms as needed to accommodate our operations.

 

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.

 

ITEM 4.  MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Not applicable.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements” and our consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

 

Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this section are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report.

 

Overview

 

Wewards, Inc. (“Wewards” or “the Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 10, 2013, as Betafox Corp. On January 8, 2018, we changed our name to Wewards, Inc.

We began generating revenues in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx Corp., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy, related parties of the Company, as our Chief Executive Officer, Lei Pei, is also the Chief Executive Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy. Pursuant to our license agreement with Sandbx Corp., we received a $50,000 initial setup fee, and a monthly royalty payment in the amount of 10% of net revenues from the sale of in-game assets by the licensee, or $5,000, whichever was greater, resulting in total revenues of $83,454 and $4,166 under this license agreement during the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The license agreement was terminated on May 16, 2021. The Company also entered into an agreement in January of 2021 with Sandbx Corp. to further develop the Megopoly game, whereby the Company has paid Sandbx Corp. monthly fees of $168,500, resulting in $842,500 of related party software development costs for the year ended May 31, 2021.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The establishment and consistent application of accounting policies is a vital component of accurately and fairly presenting our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), as well as ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing financial reporting. While there are rarely alternative methods or rules from which to select in establishing accounting and financial reporting policies, proper application often involves significant judgment regarding a given set of facts and circumstances and a complex series of decisions.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 under current regulations. The Company had approximately $2,499,798 and $3,768,042 in excess of FDIC insured limits at May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the licensing of our software by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. All revenues to date have been recognized from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx Corp., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy, related parties of the Company, as our Chief Executive Officer, Lei Pei, is also the Chief Executive Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy.

 

We derive revenue principally from licensing our intellectual property, including our game, and related extra content and services that can be utilized by players of our game. Our product and service offerings include, but are not limited to, licensing to third parties (“software license”) to distribute and host our games and content (“Online-Hosted Service Games”).

 

We evaluate and recognize revenue by:

 

  · identifying the contract(s) with the customer;
  · identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
  · determining the transaction price;
  · allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  · recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

 

Online-Hosted Service Games. Sales of our Online-Hosted Service Games are determined to have one distinct performance obligation: the online hosting. We recognize revenue from these arrangements as the service is provided through our licensing agreement(s).

 

6 
 

Licensing Revenue

 

We utilize third-party licensees to distribute and host our games and content in accordance with license agreements, for which the licensees typically pay us a fixed minimum guarantee and/or sales-based royalties. These arrangements typically include multiple performance obligations, such as a time-based license of software and future update rights. We recognize as revenue a portion of the minimum guarantee when we transfer control of the license of software (generally upon commercial launch) and the remaining portion ratably over the contractual term in which we provide the licensee with future update rights. Any sales-based royalties are generally recognized as the related sales occur by the licensee.

 

Significant Judgments around Revenue Arrangements

 

Identifying performance obligations. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, (i.e., the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available), and are distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., it is separately identifiable from other goods or services in the contract). To the extent a contract includes multiple promises, we must apply judgment to determine whether those promises are separate and distinct performance obligations. If these criteria are not met, the promises are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Determining the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that we will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring our goods and services to the customer. Determining the transaction price often requires judgment, based on an assessment of contractual terms and business practices. It further includes review of variable consideration such as discounts, sales returns, price protection, and rebates, which is estimated at the time of the transaction. In addition, the transaction price does not include an estimate of the variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Sales-based royalties are recognized as the sales occur.

 

Allocating the transaction price. Allocating the transaction price requires that we determine an estimate of the relative stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Determining the relative stand-alone selling price is inherently subjective, especially in situations where we do not sell the performance obligation on a stand-alone basis (which occurs in the majority of our transactions). In those situations, we determine the relative stand-alone selling price based on various observable inputs using all information that is reasonably available. Examples of observable inputs and information include: historical internal pricing data, cost plus margin analyses, third-party external pricing of similar or same products and services such as software licenses and maintenance support within the enterprise software industry. The results of our analysis resulted in a specific percentage of the transaction price being allocated to each performance obligation.

 

Determining the Estimated Offering Period. The offering period is the period in which we offer to provide the future update rights and/or online hosting for the game. Because the offering period is not an explicitly defined period, we must make an estimate of the offering period for the service-related performance obligations (i.e., future update rights and online hosting). Determining the Estimated Offering Period is inherently subjective and is subject to regular revision. Generally, we consider the specified contract period of our software licenses and therefore, the offering period is estimated to be over the term of the license. We recognize revenue for future update rights and online hosting performance obligations ratably on a straight-line basis over this period as there is a consistent pattern of delivery for these performance obligations.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company expenses software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. Software development costs also include costs to develop software to be used solely to meet internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver our services. The Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ends, and amortization begins when the product is available for general release to customers.

Revenues, Related Party

 

We began to generate revenues from the licensing of our Megopoly game platform to a company owned by United Power’s Chief Operating Officer during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020. Revenues were $83,454 and $4,166 for the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. However, the license agreement under which we generated these revenues was terminated on May 16, 2021. Accordingly, we are not currently engaged in revenue producing activities.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2021 were $3,139, compared to $6,375 during the year ended May 31, 2020, a decrease of $3,236, or 51%. The expenses consisted primarily of office, travel, compliance and business development expenses. General and administrative expense decreased during the current period due to decreased office expenses.

 

Software Development, Related Party

 

Software development expenses for the year ended May 31, 2021 was $842,500, compared to $-0- during the year ended May 31, 2020, an increase of $842,500. The $842,500 of software development costs relate to improvements in the Megopoly game performed by Sandbx.

 

Rent Expense

 

Rent expense was $180,000 during both years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020. Rent expense consisted of office space that was subleased from a company owned by Mr. Lei through August 31, 2020, and directly from the building’s owner thereafter, who is not a related party, under substantially the same terms.

 

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees for the year ended May 31, 2021 were $92,209, compared to $245,666 during the year ended May 31, 2020, a decrease of $153,457, or 62%. Professional fees decreased primarily due to cost savings related to transitioning to new compliance professionals and reductions in fees paid to software developers during the current period.

Operating Loss

 

Our operating loss for the year ended May 31, 2021 was $1,034,394, compared to $427,875 during the year ended May 31, 2020, an increase of $606,519, or 142%. Our operating loss increased primarily due to $842,500 of software development fees, partially offset by revenues and cost savings related to reductions in professional fees as we transitioned to new compliance team members during the current year.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other expense, on a net basis, for the year ended May 31, 2021 was $502,171, compared to other expense, on a net basis, of $469,506 during the year ended May 31, 2020, an increase of $32,665, or 7%. Other expense consisted of $525,000 of interest expense on related party loans, as offset by $22,829 of interest income for the year ended May 31, 2021. Other expense consisted of $539,556 of interest expense on related party loans, as offset by $70,050 of interest income for the year ended May 31, 2020. Other expense, on a net basis, increased primarily due to diminished interest income on cash balances, as partially offset by reductions in interest expense.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the year ended May 31, 2021 was $1,536,565, compared to $897,381 during the year ended May 31, 2020, an increase of $639,184, or 71%. The increased net loss was primarily due to $842,500 of software development fees incurred during the current period, as partially offset by cost savings related to reductions in business development fees professional fees, and an increase in revenues.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of May 31, 2021, the Company had current assets of $3,000,047, comprised almost entirely of cash. The Company's current liabilities as of May 31, 2021 were $2,122,564, consisting of $15,670 of accounts payable, $1,944,467 of accrued interest and $162,427 of current maturities of operating lease obligations.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. During the year ended May 31, 2021, net cash flows used in operating activities was $1,017,309. For the year ended May 31, 2020, net cash flows used in operating activities was $311,990. The increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to our increased net loss.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the year ended May 31, 2021, we did not use any cash in investing activities. During the year ended May 31, 2020, net cash flows used in investing activities was $179,300. The decrease is attributable to the purchase of software developed by a related party in the prior year.

 

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

 

During the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not use any cash in financing activities.

 

Satisfaction of our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months

 

As of May 31, 2021, our balance of cash on hand was $2,999,798. We currently have sufficient funds to fund our operations at their current levels for the next twelve months. Since our CEO and majority shareholder, Mr. Pei, acquired control over the Company in May 2015, we have been wholly dependent upon him and his affiliated companies, to provide financing to us when needed, generally in the form of convertible loans. There can be no assurance that Mr. Pei will continue to make additional financing available to us when needed.

 

We will need additional funds to repay our related party debts should they not be converted to equity. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing (whether from our affiliates or third parties), the terms of such financing may contain undue restrictions on our operations and result in substantial dilution for our stockholders. We cannot guarantee that we will ever become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability, and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise additional funds.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Wewards, Inc.,

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wewards, Inc. (“the Company”) as of May 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Due to the net loss for the year, the Company evaluated the need for a going concern.

 

Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgement given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.

 

To evaluate the appropriateness of the lack of going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s lack of disclosure on going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

Wewards, Inc. (“Wewards” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 10, 2013 as Betafox Corp., with the initial intent to manufacture and sell color candles. On April 26, 2015, Giorgos Kallides (the “Seller”), entered into an agreement with Future Continental Limited (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which, on May 11, 2015, the Seller sold to Purchaser six million (6,000,000) shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) owned by the Seller, constituting approximately 73.8% of the Company’s 8,130,000 issued and outstanding common shares at such time, for $340,000. In October 2015, the Purchaser sold the 6,000,000 Shares to Mr. Lei Pei, an affiliate of the Purchaser, in consideration of Mr. Pei’s agreement to serve as our director and CEO. On January 8, 2018, by consent of Lei Pei as the Company’s principal shareholder, the Company changed its name to Wewards, Inc. The Company’s corporate office is located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

We have developed and are the owner of a web-based platform accessible by mobile apps (the “Platform”) that will enable consumers to purchase goods from merchants and earn rebates payable in the form of Bitcoin. The Platform provides an innovative Bitcoin rewards ecosystem. It is designed to transform traditional concepts of commerce into a cooperative society where both merchants and consumers are collaborating, utilizing Bitcoin to reward consumers. The ecosystem provides consumers with rewards each time they complete a challenge defined by a merchant. This is intended to make the ecommerce process beneficial to all market participants, and to help distribute commercial wealth among and between the merchants and consumers. We intend to generate revenue by licensing “white-label” versions of the Platform to third parties. However, to date, no such license agreement has been entered into, and we have not generated any revenues from the Platform.

 

On April 2, 2020, we purchased intellectual property rights (“IP”) from United Power, a Nevada corporation under common ownership with Lei Pei, our sole officer and director and majority shareholder, for cash consideration of $179,300, based on a price determined by an independent valuation.

 

The IP consists of technology and related rights associated with the game Megopoly, an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). Megopoly is an MMO board game where players are able to earn fractions of Bitcoins (satoshi) through buying, selling, and managing virtual real estate properties using in-game currency (Megopoly Coins). The game is similar in some respects to Monopoly.

 

The game allows players around the world to interact with each other online. Players travel (move) through different parts of a city, earning profit by investing in properties, charging rent, acquiring bonus assets, and selling their properties to other players for in-game currency. A player is able to progress to higher levels of “cities” at any time.

 

The player’s goal in Megopoly is to earn Megopoly Coins by investing in properties and collecting rent from other players. Players can keep playing the game using their Megopoly Coins for the opportunity to earn more coins, or they can exchange those coins for Bitcoins based on real-time market exchange rates.

 

Megopoly is playable at any time through a web browser on a PC, tablet or smart phone, in both Chinese and English. The game has been designed for players of all skill levels.

 

We began generating revenues in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx Corp., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy, related parties of the Company, as our Chief Executive Officer, Lei Pei, is also the Chief Executive Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy. Pursuant to our license agreement with Sandbx Corp., we received a $50,000 initial setup fee, and a monthly royalty payment in the amount of 10% of net revenues from the sale of in-game assets by the licensee, or $5,000, whichever was greater, resulting in total revenues under this license agreement of $83,454 and $4,166 during the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The license agreement was terminated on May 16, 2021. The Company also entered into an agreement in January of 2021 with Sandbx Corp. to further develop the Megopoly game, whereby the Company has paid Sandbx Corp. monthly fees of $168,500, resulting in $842,500 of related party software development costs for the year ended May 31, 2021.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All references to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) are in accordance with The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 under current regulations. The Company had approximately $2,499,798 and $3,768,042 in excess of FDIC insured limits at May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

  - Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  - Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  - Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts payables and accrued expenses are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

Software Development Costs

The Company expenses software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. Software development costs also include costs to develop software to be used solely to meet internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver our services. The Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ends, and amortization begins when the product is available for general release to customers.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. We analyzed the derivative financial instruments (the Convertible Notes), in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument's contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument's settlement provisions. The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the licensing of our software by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. All revenues to date have been recognized from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx Corp., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy, related parties of the Company, as our Chief Executive Officer, Lei Pei, is also the Chief Executive Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy.

 

We derive revenue principally from licensing our intellectual property, including our game, and related extra content and services that can be utilized by players of our game. Our product and service offerings include, but are not limited to, licensing to third parties (“software license”) to distribute and host our games and content (“Online-Hosted Service Games”).

 

We evaluate and recognize revenue by:

 

  · identifying the contract(s) with the customer;
  · identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
  · determining the transaction price;
  · allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  · recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

 

Online-Hosted Service Games. Sales of our Online-Hosted Service Games are determined to have one distinct performance obligation: the online hosting. We recognize revenue from these arrangements as the service is provided through our licensing agreement(s).

 

Licensing Revenue

 

We utilize third-party licensees to distribute and host our games and content in accordance with license agreements, for which the licensees typically pay us a fixed minimum guarantee and/or sales-based royalties. These arrangements typically include multiple performance obligations, such as a time-based license of software and future update rights. We recognize as revenue a portion of the minimum guarantee when we transfer control of the license of software (generally upon commercial launch) and the remaining portion ratably over the contractual term in which we provide the licensee with future update rights. Any sales-based royalties are generally recognized as the related sales occur by the licensee.

Significant Judgments around Revenue Arrangements

 

Identifying performance obligations. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, (i.e., the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available), and are distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., it is separately identifiable from other goods or services in the contract). To the extent a contract includes multiple promises, we must apply judgment to determine whether those promises are separate and distinct performance obligations. If these criteria are not met, the promises are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Determining the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that we will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring our goods and services to the customer. Determining the transaction price often requires judgment, based on an assessment of contractual terms and business practices. It further includes review of variable consideration such as discounts, sales returns, price protection, and rebates, which is estimated at the time of the transaction. In addition, the transaction price does not include an estimate of the variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Sales-based royalties are recognized as the sales occur.

 

Allocating the transaction price. Allocating the transaction price requires that we determine an estimate of the relative stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Determining the relative stand-alone selling price is inherently subjective, especially in situations where we do not sell the performance obligation on a stand-alone basis (which occurs in the majority of our transactions). In those situations, we determine the relative stand-alone selling price based on various observable inputs using all information that is reasonably available. Examples of observable inputs and information include: historical internal pricing data, cost plus margin analyses, third-party external pricing of similar or same products and services such as software licenses and maintenance support within the enterprise software industry. The results of our analysis resulted in a specific percentage of the transaction price being allocated to each performance obligation.

 

Determining the Estimated Offering Period. The offering period is the period in which we offer to provide the future update rights and/or online hosting for the game. Because the offering period is not an explicitly defined period, we must make an estimate of the offering period for the service-related performance obligations (i.e., future update rights and online hosting). Determining the Estimated Offering Period is inherently subjective and is subject to regular revision. Generally, we consider the specified contract period of our software licenses and therefore, the offering period is estimated to be over the term of the license. We recognize revenue for future update rights and online hosting performance obligations ratably on a straight-line basis over this period as there is a consistent pattern of delivery for these performance obligations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty's performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include stock options, warrants and restricted stock. The number of potential common shares outstanding relating to stock options, warrants and restricted stock is computed using the treasury stock method. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be recovered through future operations.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

Various taxing authorities may periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.

 

The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if converted method. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

 

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Accounts Payable, Related Party

The Company owed United Power, Inc. (“United Power”) $15,006 for unpaid rent and utilities as of May 31, 2020. As disclosed in Note 6, below, prior to September 1, 2020, the Company subleased office space from United Power, an affiliate of the Company by reason of common ownership with Lei Pei, the Company’s sole officer and director and majority shareholder, at a base monthly rent of $15,000.

Revenues, Related Party

We began generating revenues in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy, related parties of the Company, as our Chief Executive Officer, Lei Pei, is also the Chief Executive Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy. Pursuant to our license agreement with Sandbx, we received a $50,000 initial setup fee, and a monthly royalty of 10% of net revenues from the sale of in-game assets by the licensee, or $5,000, whichever was greater, resulting in total revenues of $83,454 and $4,166 under this license agreement during the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This license agreement was terminated on May 16, 2021.

On January 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Statement of Work with Sandbx Corp., a related party, pursuant to which Sandbx has been engaged to provide software development and related services to further develop and improve Megopoly, the Company’s online MMO Game, at a rate of $50 per hour of service. The Company paid Sandbox $842,500 for services provided under this Statement of Work during the year ended May 31, 2021.

 

See also Notes 4, 5 and 6, below, for additional related party transactions.

 

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and 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, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

 

   Fair Value Measurements at May 31, 2021 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3

The fair values of our related party debts are deemed to approximate book value, and are considered Level 2 and 3 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35.

 

There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs for the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

On April 2, 2020, the Company purchased intellectual property rights (“IP”) from United Power, a Nevada corporation under common ownership with Lei Pei, the Company’s sole officer and director and majority shareholder, for cash consideration of $179,300, based on a price determined by an independent valuation. The IP consists of technology and related rights associated with the game Megopoly, an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). Because United Power is a related party, the acquisition did not result in a stepped-up basis in the IP, and the full purchase price of $179,300 was treated as an equity contribution during the year ended May 31, 2020.

 

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY

 

Convertible notes payable, related party consists of the following at May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

 

   May 31,   May 31, 
   2021   2020 
         
On February 26, 2017, Sky Rover Holdings, Ltd (“Sky Rover), which is owned and controlled by Mr. Pei, agreed to loan up to $20,000,000 to the Company, of which $8,000,000 was loaned on February 28, 2017. Sky Rover was issued an unsecured, 5%, convertible promissory note which is due on February 28, 2024 (as extended), and is, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder, convertible into common shares at any time before the due date, at a conversion price of $0.08 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, forward splits, recapitalizations, a merger, etc.). At the option of the Company, the interest may also be paid by issuing restricted shares of common stock, at the same conversion price per share. On June 26, 2018, the Company repaid $4,000,000 of principal of this loan. In addition, Sky Rover converted $1,500,000 of principal of this loan into common shares at the conversion price of $0.08 per share into a total of 18,750,000 shares. Sky Rover waived accrued and unpaid interest of $363,904, which was credited to additional paid in capital. As of May 31, 2021, there is $532,960 of accrued interest due on this loan.  $2,500,000   $2,500,000 
           
On November 20, 2017, Sky Rover loaned an additional $8,000,000 to the Company. Sky Rover was issued an unsecured, 5%, convertible promissory note which is due on November 20, 2024 (as extended), and is, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder, convertible into common shares at any time before the due date, at a conversion price of $0.08 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, forward splits, recapitalizations, a merger, etc.). At the option of the Company, the interest may also be paid by issuing restricted shares of common stock, at the same conversion price per share. As of May 31, 2021, there is $1,411,507 of accrued interest on this loan.   8,000,000    8,000,000 
           
Total convertible notes payable, related party   10,500,000    10,500,000 
Less: current portion        
Convertible notes payable, related party, less current portion  $10,500,000   $10,500,000 

 

If Sky Rover converts the remaining $10,500,000 of principal on the Convertible Notes at the present conversion price of $0.08 per share into 131,250,000 shares, then those shares, plus the 101,353,450 shares Mr. Pei currently owns, would give him beneficial ownership of 232,603,450 shares of the Company’s 238,733,450 then-issued and outstanding shares (assuming that no other shares are issued prior to conversion), which would approximate 97.4% of the then-outstanding shares.

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized “blank check” preferred stock of 50,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share. The voting powers, conversion features, if any, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and other rights of each series of preferred stock shall be prescribed by resolution of the Board of Directors at the time a specific series of preferred stock is designated. None of the preferred shares have been designated or issued as of the date of this Report.

 

Common Stock

The Company has 500,000,000 authorized shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock, and had 107,483,450 shares issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2021.

 

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAX

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

 

For the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At May 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $6,802,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2034.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The effective income tax rate for the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted of the following:

 

   May 31, 
   2021   2020 
Federal statutory income tax rate   21%   21%
State income taxes   -%    -% 
Change in valuation allowance   (21%)   (21%)
Net effective income tax rate        

 

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:

 

   May 31, 
   2021   2020 
Deferred tax assets:          
Net operating loss carry forwards  $1,428,420   $1,223,460 
           
Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance  $1,428,420   $1,223,460 
Less: Valuation allowance   (1,428,420)   (1,223,460)
Net deferred tax assets  $   $ 

 

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, who is one and the same, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2021 (the “Evaluation Date”). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who is one and the same, have concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, the nature of which is summarized below.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management has conducted, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, who is one and the same, an assessment, including testing of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date. Management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:

 

  1. We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is management’ s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an important entity level control over the Company’s financial statements. Currently the single-member Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.
     
  2. We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of May 31, 2021, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company’ s bank accounts.

 

12
 

 

  3. Lack of segregation of duties – We have no employees other than our CEO and CFO, who are one and the same person. Therefore, all accounting information is currently reviewed only by one person.
     
  4. Related parties – The Company has no formal process related to the identification and approval of related party transactions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board Committees and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

We do not currently have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee of the board of directors, or any committee performing similar functions. Our board of directors performs the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees. As of the date of this prospectus, no member of our board of directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

Director Nominations

 

As of May 31, 2021, we did not affect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. We have not established formal procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s board of directors.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To our knowledge, based solely on the review of the copies of these forms furnished to us and representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all forms required to be filed under Section 16 of the Exchange Act for the year ended May 31, 2021 were filed timely.

There are no stock option plans, retirement, pension, or profit-sharing plans for the benefit of our current sole officer and director.
