PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
Corporate Developments
Brisset Beer International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 11, 2010, under the name Benefit Solutions Outsourcing Corp. The Company was initially formed to offer small and medium-sized businesses services that reduced invoicing expenses, sped up receipt of monies, and allowed authorization and recovery of paper drafts.
On April 4, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Scenario A, a Quebec corporation (“Scenario A”), to purchase all of its assets relating to “Broken 7”, a craft beer to be brewed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, for a purchase price of $25,000. The Asset Purchase Agreement relates to the Broken 7 trademark and recipe only. No other assets were acquired. $12,500 was paid at closing and $12,500 was to be paid 60 business days after the closing date of April 7, 2014. By letter agreement dated July 16, 2014, the parties agreed to extend the date on which the second payment of $12,500 was due to August 15, 2014. The Company made the final installment of $12,500 to Scenario A on August 14, 2014.
Effective July 24, 2014, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Florida to Nevada and its name from “Buckeye Oil & Gas, Inc.” to “Brisset Beer International, Inc.” by the merger of Buckeye Oil & Gas, Inc. with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, Brisset Beer International, Inc.
Until April 2014, the Company was engaged in the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties. Since its asset purchase in April 2014, the Company has abandoned its interests in its two oil and gas properties and is principally engaged in the development of a brewing, distribution, and marketing of craft-brewed beer business in the province of Quebec, Canada. Our craft beer consists of a single brand known as Broken 7, which we distribute to private retail stores, grocery chains and on-premise accounts across Quebec, Canada.

On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Service Agreement with Sandberg International Limited to provide investor relations for the Company. For such services, Sandberg International receives $500 per month, and on November 10, 2014, was issued 125,000 shares of common stock of the Company, Class A warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.15 per share and a Class B warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.25 per share. The agreement shall continue until either party notifies the other that it desires to terminate the agreement on 30 days’ written notice.
On December 2, 2014 Biere Brisset International Inc., a Canadian corporation wholly-owned subsidiary by Company (“BBII”), entered into a five-year Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with 90127-2021 Quebec Inc., a Quebec company doing business as Breuvages Blue Spike (“Blue Spike”) pursuant to which Blue Spike has the exclusive right to manufacture, distribute and sell BBII’s Broken 7 beer in certain designated networks in the following Canadian provinces and U.S. states: Newfoundland, Prince-Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington DC, Delaware, Maryland. The Company granted Blue Spike a right of first refusal to act as exclusive agent for the distribution and sale of its products in other new territories.
On April 1, 2016, BBII amended the Distribution agreement (the “Amendment”) with Blue Spike to clarify certain of the business terms regarding the margins, pricing, and distribution networks.
Subject to Blue Spike’s approval, the Company may sell products manufactured by Blue Spike in the Company’s own distribution network. Products sold within the Company’s own distribution network are subject to higher margins for the Company. The Company is responsible, at its expense, for the marketing and promotion of Broken 7, and has agreed to invest 25% of the gross margin of its products for marketing and advertising.
The Company granted Blue Spike a right of first refusal if the Company sells or transfers all or a portion of its rights in its brands. If the Company is sold during the term of the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Blue Spike 2.5% of the purchase price for every $250,000 of product sales, up to $5 million but not to exceed 50% of the sale price. The agreement also provides for various payment returns to Blue Spike if the Company is sold when the agreement is no longer in effect, depending on when and why the agreement is no longer in effect. The agreement will automatically renew for an additional five-year term unless either party notifies the other of its intention not to renew 180 days prior to the expiration of the initial term.
On March 1, 2015, BBII entered into a five-year manufacturing and distribution agreement (the “CBB Agreement”) with La Compagnie de Biere Brisset, Inc. (“CBB”), a specialty brewer, to help bring to market and test new line extensions for beer brands owned by the Company. The CBB Agreement grants CBB the right to manufacture Broken 7 beer in accordance with certain minimum and production capacities set forth in the Agreement. Proceeds, if any, from the sale of BBI products will be retained by CBB as compensation for its services. Unless earlier terminated by BBII’s bankruptcy, insolvency or sale of its business or assets or the gross misconduct or negligence of CBB, the Agreement will automatically renew for an additional five-year term unless either party notifies the other of its intention not to renew 180 days prior to the expiration of the initial term.
On April 1, 2016, BBII amended the manufacturing and distribution agreement (the “Amendment”) with Blue Spike to clarify certain of the business terms regarding the margins, pricing, and distribution networks.
The Distribution Agreement and the CBB Agreement were terminated on March 2, 2018.
We are currently seeking acquisition partners we believe would be beneficial for the Company and our shareholders. To this end, we intent to begin the process of identifying sectors and industries that current management believes will provide the most long-term and short-term benefit to the existing and future shareholders of the Company. However, as of the date of this Report we have not identified any potential acquisition candidates or entered any negotiations relating to the same. Additionally, we intend to continue to take such corporate actions necessary to fulfil our reporting obligations with the SEC and undertaking other corporate actions necessary to continue and eventually grow the Company’s business operations, through the identification of suitable acquisition partners. We intend to update our shareholders during this process.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited financial statements and related notes elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended May 31, 2022 and 2021
Revenues
There were no revenues during the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $77,183 for the year ended May 31, 2022 from $0 for the same period ended May 31, 2021.
Our operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2022 consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses of $788 and professional fees of $76,395.
Other Expenses
We had other income of $72,176 for the year ended May 31, 2022, as compared with other expenses of $15,779 for the year ended May 31, 2021.
Our other income for the year ended May 31, 2022 consisted primarily of interest expense, and a loss on derivative liability offset by a gain on forgiveness of convertible notes payable and foreign exchange translation. Our other expenses for the year ended May 31, 2021 consisted of interest expense, offset by a gain on foreign exchange translation, and gain on derivative liability.

Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $5,007 for the year ended May 31, 2022, as compared with a net loss of $15,779 for the year ended May 31, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Going concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $2,398,853 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to generate the necessary funds through licensing of its core products or the ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock or debt is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. These factors, among others, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
As of May 31, 2022, we had total current assets of $317. Our total current liabilities as of May 31, 2022 were $377,886. We had a working capital deficit of $377,569 as of May 31, 2022, compared with a working capital deficit of $475,084 as of May 31, 2021.
Operating activities used $75,688 in cash for the year ended May 31, 2022, as compared with $0 used for the year ended May 31, 2021. Our negative operating cash flow for May 31, 2022 and 2021 was largely the result of our net loss for the years.
Cash flows used by financing activities during the year ended May 31, 2022 provided $77,500, as compared with cash provided of $0 for the year ended May 31, 2021. Our positive financing cash flow for the years ended May 31, 2022 was largely a result of proceeds from convertible notes payable.
The features of the debt instruments and payables concerning our financing activities are detailed in the footnotes to our financial statements.
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Brisset Beer International, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brisset Beer International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, statements of stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years then ended, and the related notes and schedules (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 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 entity’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.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception of $2,398,853. These factors create an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Emphasis of Matters-Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is not able to predict the ultimate impact that COVID -19 will have on its business. However, if the current economic conditions continue, the pandemic could have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company plans to operate.
/s/
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

BRISSET BEER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2022
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Organization
Brisset Beer International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 11, 2010 under the name Benefit Solutions Outsourcing Corp.
The Company was engaged in the marketing of a craft beer which was brewed, distributed, and marketed solely in Quebec, Canada until the change of control which occurred in March 2019, at which time it ceased business operations. Going forward, the Company intends to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for its shareholders. The Company has no particular business combination in mind and has not entered into any negotiations regarding such a combination.
On February 11, 2019, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 21, 2017, by and among Stephan Pilon, Pol Brisset (the “Selling Stockholders”), and Redstone Ventures, LTD (the “Purchaser”), the Purchaser purchased an aggregate of
There are no arrangements, known to the Company, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.
Change of Directors
On February 11, 2019, Stephane Pilon resigned as the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and member of the Board of Directors of the Company and Mr. Pol Brisset resigned as the Secretary and member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Pilon’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company or its management with respect to any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On February 11, 2019, Pol Brisset resigned as the Secretary and member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Brisset’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company or its management with respect to any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Simultaneously with Messrs. Pilon’s and Brisset’s resignations from the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Kevin G. Malone as the President, Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Secretary and Treasurer (Principal Financial Officer) of the Company and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a going concern basis.

| Table of Contents |
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly-owned subsidiaries, Biere Brisset International Inc. and Buckeye Oil & Gas. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in US dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company commenced its craft brewing activities in September 2014. During the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $
We will be required to expend substantial amounts of working capital in order to brew, distribute and market our Broken 7 brand of craft beer. Our current operations have been funded entirely from capital raised from our private offering of securities from February 2014 through December 2015, as well as additional funding received in 2017 through the issuance of convertible notes and stock issuances. We are entirely dependent on our ability to attract and receive additional funding from either the sale of securities or outside sources such as private investment or a strategic partner. We currently have no firm agreements or arrangements with respect to any such financing and there can be no assurance that any needed funds will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient funding of our operations in the future will restrict our ability to grow and reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. Our failure to raise additional funds will adversely affect our business operations, and may require us to suspend our operations, which in turn may result in a loss to the purchasers of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain necessary financing, we will likely be required to curtail our development plans which could cause us to become dormant. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to brew, distribute, and market our craft beer and ultimately achieve profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow from financing and operations to meet its obligations as they become payable. Management may seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the future.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The cash account that is held in Canadian Dollar, and foreign exchange transaction gain (loss) resulting from fluctuations in the currency exchange rate between U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar has been recorded in the statements of operations.

| Table of Contents |
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC 505-50
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains all of its cash balances with two financial institutions in the form of demand deposits.
Loss per Share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenues when satisfying the performance obligation of the associated contract that reflects the consideration expected to be received based on the terms of the contract.
Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue from the Company’s craft beer business is received in the form of commissions. The Company has contracted out services to a single supplier for brewing, labeling and distribution. The Company recognizes commission revenue based on a percentage of sales with fixed margins as negotiated with the contract brewer. Revenue is recorded at the time of delivery to the customer. Any receivables remaining unpaid forty-five days after invoicing by an unrelated party business will be charged to the Company. The unrelated party business undertakes to pay the said receivable account to the Company without delay once recovered, less the costs of collection and late penalty fees.

Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 - Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date
The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of May 31, 2022 or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and related party and third party notes payables approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s notes payable to related parties approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of terms that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at May 31, 2022 and 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We will do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

| Table of Contents |
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adding new disclosure requirements, such as disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payments (“ASU 2018-07”). This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The effective date for the standard is for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than the Company’s adoption date of Topic 606. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2018-07 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income tax amount recorded as of May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021, are as follows:

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of May 31, 2022, the date of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year end. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of May 31, 2022, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officer, and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.
As of May 31, 2022, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework of 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that as of May 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the following material weaknesses:
| ● | Due to our small number of employees and resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed. |
| 23 |
| Table of Contents |
| ● | As a result of the limited number of accounting personnel, we rely on outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including financial statements and management discussion and analysis, which could lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure. |
|
|
|
| ● | The Company’s Board of Directors has two directors and does not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is the management’s view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit committee financial expert is an important entity-level control over the Company’s financial statements. |
A “material weakness” is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard 5) or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that a material weakness exists due to the items stated above, resulting from the Company’s limited resources and personnel.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, if and when the Company obtains sufficient capital resources, management intends to hire personnel with sufficient U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and to segregate appropriate duties among them. We also intend to appoint one or more independent members to our Board of Directors who shall also be appointed to a standing audit committee which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management. While we are actively seeking outside members, including candidates with accounting experience, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful. Given the size of our Company, lack of revenues and current lack of financing to continue with our business, it is unlikely that we will be able to hire any additional personnel or that anyone will agree to join our Board until general economic conditions and our own business prospects improve significantly.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fourth quarter ended May 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(2) On February 11, 2019, Pol Brisset resigned as the Secretary and member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Brisset’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company or its management with respect to any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.
(3) Simultaneously with Messrs. Pilon’s and Brisset’s resignations from the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Kevin G. Malone as the President, Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Secretary and Treasurer (Principal Financial Officer) of the Company and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.
MR. KEVIN MALONE BIO
Mr. Malone, 57 years old, has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer and President of Supernova Energy, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: SPRN), an oil and gas exploration development stage company, since March 2014. From February 2013 to June 15, 2017, Mr. Malone served as a member of the board of directors of Cruzani, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: CZNI) then known as US Highland Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: UHLN), and from January 8, 2016 to June 15, 2017, as the President of U.S. Highland, Inc. Prior to joining US Highland, Inc. in February 2013, Mr. Malone worked in the financial service industry since 1985. From March 2009 through October 2012, Mr. Malone served as head trader for R.F. Lafferty & Company, Inc. From January 2006 until March 2009, Mr. Malone worked in the same capacity at Westminster Securities Corporation. From December 2002 through January 2006, Mr. Malone worked for Aegis Capital Corporation.
Our directors are elected for a term of one year and serve until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. Each executive officer serves at the pleasure of the Board.
Audit Committee and Financial Expert; Committees
The Company does not have an audit committee. We are not a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors.
The Company has no nominating or compensation committees at this time. The entire Board participates in the nomination and audit oversight processes and considers executive and director compensation. Given the size of the Company and its stage of development, the entire Board is involved in such decision-making processes. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.
| 25 |
| Table of Contents |
None of our directors or officers has been affiliated with any company that has filed for bankruptcy within the last ten years. We are not aware of any proceedings to which any of our officers or directors, or any associate of any such officer or director, is a party adverse to our company or has a material interest adverse to it. There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. Other than as described below, we have not compensated our directors for service on our Board of Directors or reimbursed for expenses incurred for attendance at meetings of our Board of Directors.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires officers and directors of the Company and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in their ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and forward copies of such filings to the Company. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, our officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.
Code of Ethics
The Company currently has not adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its principal executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer because of its small size and limited resources and because management’s attention has been focused on matters pertaining to raising capital and the operation of the business.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings that have occurred within the past ten years concerning our directors, or control persons which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one’s participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The table below sets forth information concerning compensation paid, earned, or accrued by our chief executive officers (each a “Named Executive Officer”) for the last two fiscal years. No executive officer earned compensation in excess of $100,000 during fiscal 2022 or 2021.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table lists, as of the date of this Annual Report, the number of shares of common stock of the Company beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each executive officer and director of the Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal stockholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Related Party Transactions
Convertible notes
On February 17, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note for $7,500 proceeds. The Company recorded a debt discount related to the beneficial conversion feature of the note for $7,500. The note is convertible in common stock at 50% discount to the lowest average 20-day trading price and was due on August 17, 2017. At the Company’s election, the convertible promissory note can also be settled by cash payment. The note has not yet been paid and is currently in default.
During the year ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $1,144 and $1,144, respectively.
Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of the Company’s Common Stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
According to the NASDAQ definition, we have no independent directors.
