Item 1. Business.
BUSINESS
Historical Development
LZG International, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Florida on May 22, 2000, as LazyGrocer.Com, Inc. On August 28, 2009, the Company’s name was changed to LZG International, Inc. Prior to the transaction on October 23, 2021, the Company was a blank check company and had limited operations.
On October 23, 2021, the Company executed an “IT Asset Purchase Agreement” with FatBrain, LLC, a previously unrelated entity, for certain intellectual properties, including patents pending, proprietary technology, licenses, software, development plans and contractual rights. The intellectual property is comprised of an AI Technology with many commercial applications, the first being “Angelina FX”. As consideration, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock to FatBrain, LLC’s material non-controlling member, Peter B. Ritz. The mutually agreed upon asset fair market value of $348,000 was allocated 100% to the Angelina FX software due to the assignment of contractual rights to the Company of a licensing agreement previously entered into on May 7, 2021, between FatBrain and a non-related party, Tempus, Inc. This transaction resulted in a change in control of the Company, whereby Mr. Ritz is the owner of 97.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.
The FatBrain IT Assets acquired in the IT Asset Purchase Agreement include software that uses artificial intelligence to help companies automate enterprise decision cycles to learn, explain and intervene for better outcomes across all business interactions. The software continuously learns from historical transactions, incumbent models and in-house expert teams to deliver a unified framework binding structured and unstructured data in text, numerical, network/graph and video formats. The FatBrain software leverages modern advances in machine learning and cloud economics to enable sustained operational advantages of (i) simplicity with smaller, denser models using vector embeddings, (ii) auditability with explainable, trusted quantification and de-biasing using blockchain, (iii) quality work with noisy, sparse, imbalances or missing date using generative autoencoders, and (iv) technology using transfer and active learning. The Company has initiated the commercialization of the technology and we have spoken to several potential clients.

The problems facing 500M mSMEs today have been aggravating business owners for decades: too much data; too many variables; not enough time. However now, with our AI 2.0 Solutions mSMEs can solve these problems by harnessing the hidden insights from both their existing individual behavior and peer market data.
Our sustainable competitive advantage comprises what we call “Peer Intelligence AI” or “AI 2.0” solutions and technologies which work to harness the power of permissioned private data and insights from thousands of mSMEs aligned to the relevant public data signals to advance the knowledge of the unified market dynamics. That is, Peer Intelligence AI works by connecting into the clients’ existing SaaS products (e.g., Intuit’s QuickBooks, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, 1C, Xero, Slack, and more), where all their business data lives and aligning the data with millions of relevant market signals, including:
| ● | Collation of clients’ different business data sources | |
| ● | Mapping against thousands of market data sources | |
| ● | Industry specific data and insights |
Once our Outcomes™ engine has aligned all of the thousands of different signals (internal and external), it drives the FatBrain AI 2.0 Solutions marketplace where, alongside FatBrain expert coaches it turns meaningless data into actionable insights:
| ● | Turn data into insights | |
| ● | Industry specific coaching | |
| ● | All within our Outcomes™ engine |
Our clients gain regular, valuable actions to improve their business decisions and save time and money, while also being able to benchmark themselves against their market peers and industry comparables, gaining:
| ● | Leaderboard ranking | |
| ● | Trajectory podiums across different areas | |
| ● | Clear and visible tracking of business improvement |
Our go to market uses extended enterprise reach focusing on networks of similarly situated peers across industry sectors. For example, we’re able to offer our FX AI 2.0 Solutions to the two million importers and exporters filing disclosures with the US Customs office to quantify their purchase cycles to minimize their currency risks. Similarly, we’re able to offer our InsureTech AI solutions to the three hundred thousand independent agents to save time by auto-matching the right products to right clients while and helping the agents to get paid faster.
We believe that nearly every one of the mSMEs globally faces challenges that our AI Solutions are designed to address. Our focus in the near term is to build partnerships with institutions that have the leadership necessary to effect structural change within their extended supply chain — to reconstitute their operations around data. Over the long term, we believe that every one of the global mSMEs in the markets we serve will become a potential client.
Employees
We had no employees on the payroll as of May 31, 2022, but have begun the process of hiring and transitioning contract workers to full-time employment status. We expect to have over 500 full time employees in FY 2023 through organic growth and through various business acquisitions.
Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements.
We have registered our Common Shares under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual report will contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accountants.

As an emerging growth company, we have elected, under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, to 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.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Executive Overview
LZG International, Inc. was a “blank check” company until acquired by the current management team on October 23, 2021 (“AI Recap”). Incorporated in the State of Florida on May 22, 2000, as LazyGrocer.Com, Inc., the company offered an online grocery solution, limited its operations in November 2001 and changed its name to LZG International, Inc., on August 28, 2009.
As part of the AI Recap, we capitalized the company with software and related IT Assets, including the Outcomes™ engine and the connected AI Solutions, that use artificial intelligence (“AI”) to help businesses automate and optimize enterprise decision cycles (“AI Solutions”).
Since 2015, our Outcomes™ engine and platform have enabled scores of innovations across dozens of F500 business cases, billions of transactions, and hundreds of millions of behavioral profiles.
In 2019, for example, our AI solution for Bank of America outperformed by over 60% the combined effectiveness and efficiency of BOA’s $100M state of the art system and 800 of its investigative experts to fight financial crimes.
4
In November 2021, we launched a foreign exchange (“FX”) AI solution to tackle discriminatory pricing, especially with the start-up, small and mid-sized enterprises (“SMEs”) in the $6.6 trillion-dollar daily FX market. The solution uses our Peer Intelligence technology to auto-match individual client’s purchase cycles with their currency and supply chain risk to optimize FX and minimize constraints, across thousands of peers, in hundreds of sectors.
On February 23, 2022, we acquired the software assets of Intellagents, LLC., to accelerate our insurance focus.
After the close of the period covered by this report, the Company acquired the capital stock of Prime Source and certain affiliates (“Prime Source”), as described in the current report on Form 8-K filed on June 24, 2022. The business of Prime Source is owned by a subsidiary of the company, and is being integrated into the world-wide business of the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2022, we had cash of $81,567 and total liabilities of $3,149,738 compared to cash of $4,735 and total liabilities of $294,610 on May 31, 2021. Receivables from trade activity and related party receivables total $9,949,625 compared to $0.00 on May 31, 2021. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, we have begun to generate ongoing revenues, but they are not yet sufficient to cover our operating costs. During the year ended May 31, 2022, we primarily relied upon stock and stock subscription sales to fund our operations. During the year ended May 31, 2021, we relied upon advances and notes payable from related parties to fund our operations. The current conditions continue to raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently devoting our efforts to obtaining capital from stockholders and are seeking to acquire additional companies with established revenue sources. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to find additional investors and the ability to acquire additional businesses with established revenues.
During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to investigating, analyzing and acquiring businesses. Our current operating costs will also increase as we continue to develop our newly acquired intellectual assets. We believe we will be able to meet our anticipated operating needs through funds provided by additional stockholders.
Results of Operations
We recorded $216,166 of Revenue in 2022. Our gross operating profit was $173,651 in 2022. There was no sales activity in 2021. General and administrative expenses were $1,068,919 and $13,800 in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest Expense was $18,795 in 2022 and $16,042 in 2021.
Our net loss increased for 2022 ($919,793) compared to 2021 ($29,842).
Obligations
In 2022, existing debt was converted to subordinated notes which were later converted to common stock.
On May 31, 2018, a stockholder converted $92,500 of its accounts payable to a promissory note which bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand. On May 31, 2021, the stockholder converted $6,000 of its accounts payable to a promissory note which bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand, resulting in a total principal balance due of $119,200. Interest expense was $3,978 and $9,056 for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. On October 23, 2021, the loan was converted to a convertible promissory note with outstanding interest and principal due of $147,923. On May 11, 2022, the note was converted to 900,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
On May 31, 2021, the Company owed a third party $69,800. The loan incurred interest at 8% per annum and was due on demand. On October 23, 2021, the loan was converted to a convertible promissory note with outstanding principal and interest due of $107,245. On May 11, 2022, the note was converted to 8,907,754 shares of common stock of the Company. Interest expense was $7,197 and $5,107 for 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the years ended May 31, 2009 and 2010, an officer of the Company loaned an aggregate of $23,500 to the Company. On April 20, 2010, these loans were combined into one promissory note which carries interest at 8% and is not collateralized. The original promissory note had a due date of June 30, 2012; however, the officer agreed to extend the due date of the principal and interest on this note to June 30, 2022. Interest expense was $784 and $1,880 for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. On October 23, 2021, the loan was converted to a convertible promissory note with outstanding principal and interest due of $45,501. On May 11, 2022, the note was cancelled.
5
On May 11, 2022, the Company assumed a promissory note from a related party in connection with an asset acquisition. The $3,000,000 note bears interest at 8% per annum and is payable on Demand, no later than January 5, 2023. There is no interest expense nor any accrued interest at May 31, 2022.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. See “Note 7 – Income Taxes” in the notes to our financial statements for schedules that describe the new rates adjusted in the period enacted.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). 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 have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
This information appears following Item 15 of this Report and is included herein by reference.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective because we had a control deficiency. During the period we did not have adequate personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. Due to the size and operations of our Company we anticipate the ability to remedy this deficiency in the next fiscal year.

| Peter B. Ritz | 57 | Director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, & Secretary | ||||
| Shawn R. Carey | 57 | Chief Operating Officer | ||||
| Greg L. Popp | 53 | Chief Executive Officer until 10/23/21; Director & President until 4/1/22 | ||||
| L. Lee Perry | 78 | Director until 10/23/21 | ||||
| Michael T. Moe | 59 | Director | ||||
The experience of our directors and executive officers is as follows:
Peter B. Ritz, our Chief Executive Officer, is 57 years old and has served as CEO and CFO of the Company since October 23, 2021. Mr. Ritz has served as Managing Director of FatBrain LLC from September 2015 to the present. FatBrain provides an enterprise AI cloud software platform and services delivering dynamic risk analytics to diverse businesses such as Bank of America, Comcast, Hearst, IBM, Pilgrim’s Pride and Samsung. Mr. Ritz is responsible for sales, corporate development and the overall business advancement for FatBrain. From February 2014 to July 2017, he served as Chairman of the Board for Observable Networks, Inc., which offered cybersecurity SaaS software and this company was acquired by Cisco 3Q17 and is now part of its Secure business. He also served as Chair of their compensation committee and was responsible for corporate development.
Shawn R. Carey was appointed on November 10, 2021, as Chief Operating Officer in charge of Field Operations and Business Development for the Company. Mr. Carey is 57 years old and has been involved with the FatBrain technology since January 2016. He earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Computer Engineering and Computer Science, from Boston University on a Naval ROTC scholarship and served as a Communications Officer with the US Marine Corps. He co-founded iPipeline and served as its Chief Technology Officer. Shawn also served as managing director at Xtium, and was an Executive Management Consultant for Swingtide, a consultancy serving insurance industry transformation imperatives.

From October 2020 to the present, he serves as Chairman of the Board for Hi Solutions Inc., a home technology solutions company.
Code of Ethics
Since we have only three persons serving as executive officers and directors and because we have minimal operations, we have not adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive and financial officers. Our board of directors will revisit this issue in the future to determine if adoption of a code of ethics is appropriate. In the meantime, our management intends to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosure in our reports to the SEC, and comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations.
8
Corporate Governance
We are a smaller reporting company with minimal operations and only three directors and executive officers. Our board of directors (“Board”) has general charge, supervision and control of the business and affairs of the Company. We believe this leadership structure is appropriate for the size of the Company. In addition, the Board’s role in the Company’s risk management process includes reviewing operational, financial, legal, regulatory, and strategic risks. The Board reviews these factors to enable it to understand and assess the Company’s risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. The Board has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process.
We do not have a standing nominating committee for directors, nor do we have an audit committee with an audit committee financial expert serving on that committee. Our Board acts as our nominating and audit committee.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended May 31, 2022, the persons listed below did not file all applicable reports in a timely manner in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
Rajashi Das filed on an untimely basis one required report on Form 3. Shawn R. Carey, an officer of the Company, filed one required report on Form 3 on an untimely basis. Peter B. Ritz, a director, officer and 10% shareholder of the Company, has not timely filed Form 4 on two occasions of acquiring additional shares of the Company’s common stock. an officer and 10% shareholder of the Company, Michael Moe has not timely filed Form 4 on one occasion of acquiring additional shares of the Company’s common stock.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Executive Officer Compensation
Our principal executive officer until October 23, 2021, Mr. Popp, did not receive compensation during the past fiscal year ended May 31, 2022. None of our named executive officers received any cash or non-cash compensation during the past two fiscal years, nor did they have outstanding equity awards at year end. We have not entered into employment contracts with our executive officers and their compensation, if any, will be determined at the discretion of our board of directors.
We currently do not have a compensation committee and during the last completed fiscal year our board of directors did not consider or approve any executive officer compensation.
We do not offer retirement benefit plans to our executive officers, nor have we entered into any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement, whether written or unwritten, that provides for payments to a named executive officer at, or in connection with, the resignation, retirement or other termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of the company or a change in the named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.

Director Compensation
We do not have any standard arrangement for compensation of our directors for any services provided as director, including services for committee participation or for special assignments.

On May 31, 2021, Mr. Popp converted $6,000 of its accounts payable to a promissory note which bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand, resulting in a total principal balance due of $119,200. Interest expense was $3,978 and $9,056 for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. On October 23, 2021, the loan was converted to a convertible promissory note with outstanding interest and principal due of $147,923.

The $3,000,000 note bears interest at 8% per annum and is payable on Demand, no later than January 5, 2023. There is no interest expense nor any accrued interest at May 31, 2022.

Any affiliated transactions will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from independent parties. Our board of directors will review and approve all affiliated transactions with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.
Director Independence
Michael Moe is the sole independent director as defined by NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(a)(2). This rule defines persons as “independent” who are neither officers nor employees of the company and have no relationships that, in the opinion of the board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as directors.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
For the year ended May 31, 2022, the firm of Adeptus Partners, LLC, or Adeptus, acts as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of LZG International Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of LZG International Inc. (the Company) as of May 31, 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2022, 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, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception and has revenue-generating activities that do not exceed operational expenses that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our 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.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements and are summarized below.
(A) Revenue Recognition
In 2022, the Company’s sources of revenue are from the sale of intellectual property licenses and technology, including services to configure, test and deploy IT solutions on client servers, and provide training and support to a client’s staff. Revenues are reported net of returns.

LZG International Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Years Ended May 31, 2022 and 2021
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised technologies or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised technologies or services. The Company applies the following five-step revenue recognition model in accounting for its revenue arrangements:
The ASC 606 criteria the Company uses to recognize revenue comprise of the following:
| ● | Contract with the customer – The Company acquired the contractual rights to the Angelina Agreement, dated May 10, 2021. This agreement comprises a subsisting, identifiable contract between Tempus Inc. (an unrelated entity) and the Company, reflecting that the parties have approved the agreement, are committed to fulfilling their obligations, each party’s rights are identifiable, and the payment terms are quarterly subscriptions fees and transactions revenues. |
The Company also acquired the contractual rights to the CGI Distribution Agreement Addendum, dated April 2021. This agreement comprises a subsisting, identifiable contract between CGI (an unrelated entity) and the Company, reflecting that the parties have approved the agreement, are committed to fulfilling their obligations, each party’s rights are identifiable, and the payment terms are monthly subscriptions fees and transactions revenues.
| ● | Performance obligations – Related to the Angelina Agreement, the Company builds the software solution called Angelina FX which logs into a customer’s general ledger, such as QuickBooks, and automatically determines the amount of savings a customer would enjoy if using the Angelina FX rate versus what they actually paid, as reflected in an FX Fair Value Report. |
Related to the CGI Distribution Agreement Addendum, the Company designs the ecosystem platform and API integrations that allow insurers and brokers to rapidly improve client engagement and improve efficiencies in existing distribution channels.
| ● | Transaction price – Economic considerations are clearly spelled out in the agreements. The Angelina Agreement revenue is comprised of annual subscription revenue, plus a share of the transaction revenue earned from the application. The CGI Distribution Agreement Addendum revenue is comprised of monthly subscription revenue plus additional transaction revenue based on hourly work performed. |
| ● | Allocation of transaction price – The quarterly payment earned under the Angelina subscription obligation for using the service is $ |
| ● | Revenue recognition – Revenue is recognized when the subscription obligation of providing, hosting and operating the software has been performed. Total revenue recognized was $ |
(B) Cost of Revenues
Cost
of Revenues primarily include expenses incurred by the Company to host and deliver products through the marketplace. Related platform
and payment processing fees are recorded in the period incurred. In
2022, the Company recognized $

LZG International Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Years Ended May 31, 2022 and 2021
(C) Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
(D) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at the amount due from customers and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities on the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivables based on collection risks, historical experience. Estimated losses are recorded to the allowance for doubtful accounts and as a general expense. There were no anticipated losses in 2022 and therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts.
(E) Fair Value Measurement
The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, which are described as follows:
| ● | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical 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 |
| ● | Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data |
It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of related party loans because there is no established market for these loans and it is inappropriate to estimate future cash flows, which are largely dependent on the Company establishing or acquiring operations at some future point. No financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
(F) Intangible Assets
The Company relies on guidance under ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, to account for intangible assets. Intangible assets are either amortized over their finite lives as determined by management or their contractual lives or analyzed periodically for impairment if indefinite lived. A periodic review is made of the assets for impairment.
The estimated useful lives for each intangible asset class are as follows:
Estimated Useful Lives | ||||
| AI Technology (Angelina FX) | ||||
| Intellagents IT Platform and ecosystem | ||||
| FatBrain IT |
(G) Impairment Assessment
The Company evaluates intangible assets and long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This includes but is not limited to significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions or other events that indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. For the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company recorded no impairments to intangible assets or long-lived assets.

Years Ended May 31, 2022 and 2021
(H) Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses are expensed and incurred and primarily consist of costs associated with acquiring new clients or selling new products. Expenses include online advertising costs as well as outsourced marketing strategy.
(I) General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of costs primarily related to finance operations, human resources, executive management, legal, corporate technology, corporate development, amortization, and certain other administrative costs that are not directly attributed to a product or service.
(J) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements, management is required 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(K) Basic and Fully Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”) the computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented in the financial statements.
The computations of basic and fully diluted loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented in the financial statements, plus the common stock equivalents, which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, or the exercise of convertible debentures. As of May 31, 2022 and 2021, all common stock activity has been included and there were no items considered to be anti-dilutive.

| Net (loss) available to common stockholders | $ | ( | ) | $ | ( | ) | ||
| Weighted average shares | ||||||||
| $ ( | $ | ( | ) | |||||
(L) Software Costs
The Company follows ASC 985-20, Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, whereby costs incurred during the period of planning and design, prior to the period determining technological feasibility, for all software developed to be sold to external users, has been charged to operations in the period incurred as research and development costs. Additionally, costs incurred after determination of readiness for market have been expensed as research and development. Purchased software that has reached technological feasibility and that has no alternative use, other than existing licenses or contracts for which it is being utilized, is capitalized at cost and amortized ratably over the term of the underlying contract.

(N) Reclassification
Certain amounts from the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
(O) Recent Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated Recent Accounting Pronouncements and has determined that all such pronouncements either do not apply or their impact is insignificant to the financial statements.
NOTE 3 – REVENUES
Deferred revenue is recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable. The Company typically sells software and services with a term from one month up to 1 year. Payments may be made by customers in advance, at the time of sale. As such, the company may receive up to 1 year of revenue in advance.
The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which may include unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations is influenced by several factors, including the timing of renewals, the timing of delivery of software licenses, average contract terms, and foreign currency exchange rates. Unbilled portions of the remaining performance obligations are subject to future economic risks including bankruptcies, regulatory changes, and other market factors.
NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In 2022, the Company made three intangible asset acquisitions as describe in the following paragraphs. For all the acquisitions, the Company utilized third party consultants to determine the value of the assets purchased.
On October 23, 2021, the Company
executed an “IT Asset Purchase Agreement” with FatBrain, LLC for certain intellectual properties. The members of FatBrain
LLC are also stockholders of the Company. The intellectual property is comprised of an AI Technology with many commercial applications,
the first being “Angelina FX”. As consideration, the Company issued

NOTE 6 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has revenue-generating activities that do not exceed operational expenses. Historically, its activities have been limited and have been dependent upon financing to continue operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is management’s plan to further develop and market its technology and acquire revenue generating companies.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
As of May 31, 2022, the
Company has available unused net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the net
operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company,
and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the net
operating loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the net operating loss carryforwards
and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements. The net deferred tax assets are approximately
