Exhibit 23.1

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

The Marquie Group, Inc. (formerly Music of Your Life, Inc.)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Marquie Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2021 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Marquie Group, Inc. as of May 31, 2021 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 12. 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 audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

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

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. 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 matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Loss on conversions of notes payable and accrued interest to common stock – Refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements

 

Critical Audit Matter Description

 

The Company has had outstanding notes payable to lenders which are convertible into Company common stock at conversion prices which are based on the future trading price of the Company's common stock. For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company issued a total of 4,304,842 shares of its common stock (as adjusted for the April 21, 2022 1 for 1,000 reverse split) pursuant to conversions of an aggregate of $835,050 in principal and accrued interest. The $1,445,042 excess of the $2,218,092 fair value of the 4,304,842 shares of common stock at the respective dates of issuance over the $835,050 liability reduction was charged to Loss on Conversions of Notes Payable.

 

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

 

Our principal audit procedures related to the Company's loss on conversions of notes payable and accrued interest to common stock expense included:

 

(1) We obtained Company prepared quarterly schedules of all conversions of notes payable and accrued interest to common stock for the year ended May 31, 2021.

 

(2) For the fair value measurements, we agreed the prices used to independent third-party sources of closing trading prices of the Company common stock on the respective issuance dates. We then verified the calculation by multiplying the number of shares issued times the respective closing trading prices for each conversion.

 

(3) For the liability reduction amounts, we agreed the principal and accrued interest amounts to Notices of Conversions for each conversion.
