ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
PART I
Forward-Looking Statements
Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used in this Annual Report, the terms “Altair,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company” and “our business” refer, to Altair International Corp, including its subsidiaries named herein. Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Overview
Altair International Corp. (“Altair”) is a development stage company that was incorporated in Nevada on December 20, 2012. The Company is currently in very preliminary discussions with a number of acquisition targets, each of which we believe would deliver significant value to our shareholders.
The Company is currently engaged in identifying and assessing new business opportunities.
Earn-In Agreement
On November 23, 2020, the Company entered into an Earn-In Agreement with American Lithium Minerals, Inc. (“AMLM”) under which we agreed to make total payments of $75,000 to AMLM in exchange for a 10% undivided interest in 63 unpatented placer mining claims comprised of approximately 1,260 acres, and 3 unpatented lode mining claims in Nevada. This $75,000 obligation has been fully satisfied by the Company ($30,000 paid 12/8/2020 and $45,000 paid 1/5/2021), resulting in Altair owning a 10% undivided interest in the claims. The Company has the option to increase its ownership interest by an additional 50% by a total payment of $1,300,648 for exploration and development costs as follows: $100,648 within year one for an additional 10/%, $600,000 in year two for an additional 20% and $600,000 in year three for an additional 20% ownership interest. The Earn-In Agreement grants Altair the exclusive right to explore the properties. In July 2021, the Company undertook a sampling and testing program on the Stonewall lithium project, which returned results showing anomalous lithium content. During 2022, Altair satisfied payment of the claim fees due to the Unites States Bureau of Land Management, and in August of 2022, Altair and AMLM entered into a 2nd Amendment to the original Earn-In Agreement, which, among other things, detailed that that parties agreed that the 2021 Calendar Year work commitment had been satisfied, and made certain changes to the required Annual Work Commitments required to be satisfied by Altair for the ’22, ’23, and ’24 calendar years. Further sampling and testing will be required to advance the Stonewall project. The Company has not satisfied the Annual Work Commitment for calendar year 2022.
License and Royalty Agreement
On February 10, 2021, the Company entered into a License and Royalty Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (“SX”) and St-Georges Metallurgy Corp. (“SXM”) under which Altair has received a perpetual, non-exclusive license from SX of its lithium extraction technology for Altair to develop its lithium bearing prospects in the United States and SXM’s EV battery recycling technology for which Altair has agreed to act as exclusive master agent to promote the licensing and deployment of the EV battery recycling technology in North America. Altair has agreed to provide SX with a net revenue interest royalty on all metals and minerals extracted (the “Products”) and sold from Altair’s mineral interests in the United States and SX has agreed to provide Altair with a 1% trailer fee on any royalty received by SX from the licensing of the SX EV battery recycling technology to each licensee of the SX EV battery recycling technology referred by Altair or Altair’s sub-agents. Altair will pay a royalty of 5% of the net revenue received by Altair for sales of Products using the lithium extraction technology which decreases to 3% of the net revenue on all payments in excess of US$8,000,000 of production on an annualized basis.

Activities of our wholly-owned subsidiary, EV Lithium Solution, Inc. (EVLS)
On March 19, 2021, EVLS acquired a 100% interest in the IP related to a novel, solid state lithium/graphene battery technology from Cryptosolar Ltd., a Company domiciled in the United Kingdom. We continue to invest in the research and development of this technology and such development is moving forward rapidly. We are currently in the process of patenting the technology and are exploring options for commercialization. On July 21, 2021, the Company engaged Mr. Matthew Kiang to assist in our efforts to commercialize our battery technology, and on August 6, 2021, the Company filed its first patent application for this technology, which referenced 20 claims. In December 2021, we received a non-final rejection of the claims on various grounds and we have since determined that the most prudent course of action will be to file a new patent application rather than amend the existing application. We do not currently have an established timeline for our filing of a new patent application. We have eliminated the use of lithium in our battery platform, resulting in a technology which does not rely on any electrochemical reactions. This development results in an energy supply with a cost that will not be affected by the fluctuations in global lithium prices, and carries no risk of fire as lithium batteries do. We are currently and actively exploring options for commercialization of this technology, which we have named our Energy Storage Unit, or ESU.
Employees
As of the date of this Report, the Company has no full-time nor part-time employees. Our sole officer has a current agreement with the Company to serve in these capacities. We intend to increase the number of our employees and consultants to meet our needs as the Company grows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We do not own any real estate or other properties.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations that are currently pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by or against the Company or respecting its operations or assets, or by or against any of the Company’s officers, directors, or affiliates.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our common shares are quoted on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “ATAO”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Market is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
OTC Market securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Market securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Market issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
Number of Holders
As of June 20, 2023, 24,692,459 issued and outstanding shares of common stock were held by 70 shareholders of record.
Dividend Policy
We have never paid any cash dividends and intend, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. Our Board of Directors will determine our future dividend policy on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.
Recent Issuance of Unregistered Securities
During the year ended March 31, 2023, EROP Enterprises LLC converted $197,783 and $9,812 of principal and interest, respectively, into 773,412 shares of common stock.
On July 22, 2022, Mr. Hampton converted the note payable of $39,684 into 79,368 shares of common stock.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
None.
ITEM 6. [Reserved]
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
| 5 |
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional funds through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities although no assurance can be given as to availability of funds or the terms thereof.
We are both currently and generally exploring options which will bring value to our shareholders and are in early stage discussions with a number of potential acquisition targets. Management resolves to provide updates on these efforts at the earliest such time that they become tangible.
Results of Operations
Year Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2022

In the current period we recognized $270,000 of stock compensation expense from shares issued in the prior period for which their value is was amortized over the term of the CEO’s employment agreement. We recognized $90,000 of the stock compensation expense in the prior year.
Director compensation expense for the year ended March 31, 2023, was $32,500 compared to $30,000 for the year ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $2,500. We compensate our director, Ramzi Khoury, $2,500 per month in the current year.
General and administrative expense (“G&A”) for the year ended March 31, 2023, was $96,150 compared to $173,669 for the year ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $77,519 or 44.6%.

In the prior period professional fees were $65,037 and outside services were $40,374. In the prior period we also had $17,382 of investor relation expenses which we did not have in the current period.
Other Expense
Total other expense for the year ended March 31, 2023, was $1,292,809, consisting of $195,528 of interest expense, which includes $184,389 of debt discount amortization, a loss on the change in the fair value of derivative of $1,003,598 and a loss on the issuance of convertible debt of $138,127. Our losses were offset by a gain on the settlement of debt of $6,000, and a gain on conversion of debt of $38,444. Total other expense for the year ended March 31, 2022, was $438,788, consisting of $565,067 of interest expense, which includes $529,432 of debt discount amortization, a gain on the change in the fair value of derivative of $455,023, a loss on the issuance of convertible debt of $219,366, a loss on the settlement of debt of $5,647, and impairment expense of $107,000.
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended March 31, 2023, was $1,750,349, in comparison to a net loss of $2,470,514 for the year ended March 31, 2022. The decrease to our net loss is attributed to the decrease of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
| 6 |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow used in Operating Activities.
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company used $142,020 of cash for operating activities compared to $396,238 of cash for operating activities in the prior period.
Cash flow used in Investing Activities.
We had no cash flow from investing activity during the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Cash flow from Financing Activities
We have financed our operations primarily from either advancements or the issuance of equity and debt instruments. During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company received $150,000 of cash from financing activities. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company received $595,000 of cash from financing activities offset by payments of $300,000 to settle loans payable to related parties.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds, advances from shareholders and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.
Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next six months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business); (ii) acquisition of assets; and (iii) sales and marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Refer to Note 2 of our financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a summary of our critical accounting policies and recently adopted and issued accounting standards.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Altair International Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Altair International Corp. (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit and net losses since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. 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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters 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. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021. | |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Organization and Description of Business
ALTAIR INTERNATIONAL CORP. (the “Company” “Altair”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 20, 2012. The Company’s physical address is 322 North Shore Drive, Building 1B, Suite 200, Pittsburgh, PA 15212.
License and Royalty Agreement
On February 10, 2021, the Company entered into a License
and Royalty Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (“SX”) and St-Georges Metallurgy
Corp. (“SXM”) under which Altair has received a perpetual, non-exclusive license from SX of its lithium extraction technology
for Altair to develop its lithium bearing prospects in the United States and SXM’s EV battery recycling technology for which Altair
has agreed to act as exclusive master agent to promote the licensing and deployment of the EV battery recycling technology in North America.
Altair has agreed to provide SX with a net revenue interest royalty on all metals and minerals extracted (the “Products”)
and sold from Altair’s mineral interests in the United States and SX has agreed to provide Altair with a 1% trailer fee on any royalty
received by SX from the licensing of the SX EV battery recycling technology to each licensee of the SX EV battery recycling technology
referred by Altair or Altair’s sub-agents. Altair will pay a royalty of 5% of the net revenue received by Altair for sales of Products
using the lithium extraction technology which decreases to 3% of the net revenue on all payments in excess of US $
The lithium extraction technology remains under development by SX and SXM.
EVLS
In August of 2021, the Company filed a patent application with the USPTO for its carbon nanotube/graphene based battery technology, which was comprised of 20 claims. In late November of 2021, we received a non-final rejection notice from the USPTO, citing a number of issues with the claims that would require amendment and/or modification. As we wish to submit a patent application with new ‘artwork,’ or technical drawings, we have decided to file a new patent application when feasible, as per USPTO policy an applicant cannot submit new artwork with an amended application. The technology remains viable, under further development, and, in our view, holds great potential to have a disruptive impact in the battery space.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.
| 14 |
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, EV Lithium Solutions, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Mining Expenses
The Company records all mining exploration and evaluation costs as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three 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 levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
| Level 1: | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
| Level 2: | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
| Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of:

Income taxes
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
| 15 |
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty income taxes. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 allows companies to account for nonemployee awards in the same manner as employee awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods.
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has approximately potentially dilutive shares of common stock from convertible notes payable and potentially dilutive shares of common stock from outstanding warrants. Diluted amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit $ as of March 31, 2023. Further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from third parties and/or private placement of common stock. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 4 – ASSET PURCHASE
On March 19, 2021, the Company, through its newly
formed Nevada subsidiary, EV Lithium Solutions, Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with CryptoSolar LTD, a company formed
under the laws of the United Kingdom, that has energy storage technology for a variety of industries, including electric vehicles, to
be used in place of traditional batteries that rely upon chemical reactions rather than an electric field for higher energy output and
a longer life than traditional batteries. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, CryptoSolar received shares of Altair's
common stock at the closing of the transaction and will receive up to additional shares of common stock in connection with the
successful commercial development of the scaled-up EV battery prototype and

The shares issued were valued at $per share, the closing stock price on the date of grant, for total non-cash expense of $. On August 23, 2021, the Company issued another shares of common stock per the terms of the agreement. The shares issued were valued at $per share, the closing stock price on the date of grant, for total non-cash expense of $. The Company determined that it was unable to substantiate the actual fair value of the technology that was acquired so has chosen to impair the full amount of $as of the year ended March 31, 2021, and the $as of the year ended March 31, 2022.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAX
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. The U.S. federal income tax rate is 21%.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following March 31:
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
| Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | ||||||||
| Current Operations | $ | $ | ||||||
| Less: valuation allowance | ( | ) | ( | ) | ||||
| Net provision for Federal income taxes | $ | $ | ||||||
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
| Deferred tax asset attributable to: | ||||||||
| Net operating loss carryover | $ | $ | ||||||
| Less: valuation allowance | ( | ) | ( | ) | ||||
| Net deferred tax asset | $ | $ | ||||||
At March 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss
carry forwards of approximately $
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. Topic 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) management has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the following.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Management’s Report Disclosure Controls and Procedures
During the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2023 out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, we engaged accounting consultants to assist in the preparation of our financial statements. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by our 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 management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2023.
We are aware of the following material weaknesses in internal control that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data:
| • | Due to our size and limited resources, we currently do not employ the appropriate accounting personnel to ensure (a) we maintain proper segregation of duties, (b) that all transactions are entered timely and accurately, and (c) we properly account for complex or unusual transactions |
| • | Due to our size and scope of operations, we currently do not have an independent audit committee in place |
| • | Due to our size and limited resources, we have not properly documented a complete assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting. |
| 22 |
Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations, which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process, which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.
Changes in Internal Control and Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws both provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors, to the fullest extent, permitted by Nevada law.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. Officers, directors and ten-percent or greater beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based upon a review of those forms and representations regarding the need for filing for the year ended March 31, 2023, we believe all necessary forms have been filed.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our directors and executive officers have not been personally involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
| • | any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
| • | any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
| • | being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or to be associated with any person practicing in banking or securities activities; |
| • | being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a Federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; |

Audit Committee
We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we have no operations at the present time, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
