Corporate History

 

World Scan Project, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 25, 2019.

 

On October 25, 2019, Ryohei Uetaki, our officer and director, paid for expenses involved with the incorporation of the Company with personal funds on behalf of the Company, in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which issuance was exempt from the registration provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of such same said act. The value of the stock provided to Mr. Uetaki is $2,000 and is based on par value of $.0001 per share for both common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.

 

On October 25, 2019, Ryohei Uetaki was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer.

 

On November 18, 2019, Yasumasa Ichikawa was appointed as Chief Technology Officer.

 

On January 25, 2020, the Company entered into and consummated a Share Contribution Agreement with Ryohei Uetaki. Pursuant to this agreement Mr. Uetaki gifted to the Company, at no cost, 300 shares of common stock of World Scan Project Corporation, a Japan corporation (“WSP Japan”), which represented all of its issued and outstanding shares. The Company has since gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of WSP Japan’s common stock and WSP Japan is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company and WSP Japan were under common control at the time of the acquisition.

 

WSP Japan was incorporated under the laws of Japan on January 22, 2020. Currently, WSP Japan is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The Company is an industrial automation equipment manufacturer, designing/developing robots, drones, Web3 infrastructure, IoT equipment and other related products, operating globally.

 

On February 19, 2020, Ryohei Uetaki gifted 7,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which represented all of our issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at the time, to SKYPR LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (referred to herein as “SKYPR LLC”). Our CEO Ryohei Uetaki owns and controls 100% of the membership interests in SKYPR LLC.

 

In September, 2020, the Company entered into subscription agreements with 41 shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company issued 647,350 shares of common stock in total to these shareholders and received $323,675 as aggregate consideration. At the time of purchase the price paid per share by each shareholder was the equivalent to approximately 0.50 USD.

 

These shares were sold pursuant to the Company’s effective S-1 Registration Statement deemed effective on August 28, 2020 at 4pm EST.

SkyFight-X

 

SkyFight-X, was originally developed and designed by our Chief Executive Officer, specifically for the hobbyist drone race known as “SKY FIGHT”, which is organized by Drone Net, a Japanese Company. Drone Net began operating a ‘drone school’ in 2017, and a drone race in 2019. At the tie, our CEO, Ryohei Uetaki, was in the planning stages of a new, small sized drone product, and believed that his products would have higher performance capabilities than the drones at the time used by Drone Net, which prompted him to propose a collaboration between the Company and Drone Net. Currently, Drone Net operates 16 racetracks in Japan, specifically designed for drone use.

 

Although SkyFight-X was designed for Sky Fight, the drones can also be used outside the facilities designed exclusively for drone racing, and they can be used for recreational and miscellaneous purposes.

 

The following includes details regarding the SkyFight-X which we currently offer for sale. As mentioned later on, we have plans to expand our reach to more customers, but at this time it should be noted our only customer is Drone Net.

Structure of Operations of SkyFight-X 

 

 

 

 

At present, the majority of the Company’s operations are carried out in the following manner:

 

(1) The Company receives an order for the Company’s products from Drone Net.

 

In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding, entered into on March 1, 2020, Drone Net shall not develop, manufacture, purchase or sell similar products to SkyFight-X without the Company’s consent through February 28, 2023.

 

(2) The Company places orders to G-Force, Inc., a Japan corporation (“G-Force”) to manufacture the Products, in accordance with the terms outlined in the agreement entered into on March 4, 2020.

 

(3) G-Force purchases lap measuring sensors (the “Sensors”) from ShenZhen RadioMaster Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“RadioMaster”). The sensors are later installed in the SkyFight-X Drones.

 

(4) The Sensors are installed into the drones manufactured by G-Force on behalf of the Company.

 

(5) G-Force manufactures the Products and installs the Sensors. G-Force is a non-exclusive OEM supplier of the Company. After completion of the production process, the Company conducts a final product inspection of the goods produced. During the inspection, on average, the Company physically inspects between five to ten percent of the products for quality control.

 

(6) Following inspection and acceptance of the products, the Company directs G-Force to deliver the products to a location designated by Drone Net; currently the warehouse of Drone Net is in Toyko, Japan, and G-Force delivers the products there directly.

 

(7) The Company relies on the marketing and sales of Drone Net, in part for its own success. If Drone Net realizes increased demand for the products, then in turn our own operations will increase and benefit from more sales. It should be noted that, at present, Drone Net is our primary customer.

 

Marketing

 

Our marketing plan, at present, is not yet complete and is still being researched and developed. SkyFight-X, our current primary product, is being marketed solely by our primary customer, Drone Net. We believe that Drone Net’s sales of our products will result in increased demand from Drone Net for future products, but this is not directly related to any marketing activities conducted by the Company itself. We do not currently engage in any marketing efforts, with the exception of the company’s website located at: https://www.world-scan-project.com/

ZEXABOX

ZEXABOX is made pursuant to, what we believe to be, strict Japanese guidelines for quality. The device is a GPU Mining Rig, comprised of computer components, used to “mine” digital currency. In layman’s terms, “mine” is defined as the process of solving complex math problems that verifying transaction(s) in the digital currency or blockchain, which, generally speaking, results in a predetermined amount of digital currency to be gained.

As of October 2022, the company offers for sale four types of Zexabox machines: PRO, MINI, ULTIMA, and DIV.

Future plans

 

World Scan Project, Inc., as an industrial automation equipment manufacturer, plans to further develop and apply our technologies in designing/developing Web3 infrastructure note, IoT equipment and other related products, in addition to the robots and drones we have been offering to the market globally.

 

Note: Internally, we are discussing further plans to develop mining rigs, general purpose IoT equipment, and equipment for data centers. An example of general purpose IoT equipment is the digital currency mining rig, ZEXABOX DIV.

 

(1) To expand the revenues from Drone Net

 

It is our understanding that Drone Net has plans to increase its instructional programs, shops and racetracks. The Company expects to increase revenue according to the business expansion of Drone Net. At present, the exact amount that Drone Net will increase its orders in the future is speculative, and we will need to evaluate in greater detail as the scope of Drone Net’s operations increases, if of course it does increase.

 

(2) To begin direct sales to consumers in Japan

 

The Company has tentative plans to evaluate the possibility of directly selling its products via web-based direct sales in Japan. It is possible that we may evaluate, and even begin to do so in 2023, but we do not currently have any definitive plans to do so at this point in time.

 

(3) To expand the sales volume for our digital currency mining rigs

 

The Company is planning to gain sales agents and agencies to expand the sales of its new product named XEXABOX series.

 

(4) To start selling products overseas, mainly in the USA

 

The Company has intentions to begin developing its own sales agencies, and at such time to begin to sell products through such agencies, overseas beginning, potentially, in 2023. These plans remain speculative in nature, however, in order to begin to progress these efforts, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pine Hill Productions, Inc., a New York corporation (Pine Hill”) on March 3, 2020. Pine Hill shall support the Company to expand its business operations into the USA. The consulting fee due to Pine Hill is $3,000 per month.

 

(5) To develop new products

 

The Company will develop core products other than drones and digital currency mining rigs.

 

(6) The Company also have tentative plans, which have not progressed beyond ideas at this point, to evaluate the possibility of working on developing an underwater drone and a hover bike (flying bike). We are exploring the feasibility of these endeavors, however, there is no guarantee that such plans will come to fruition.

 

(7) The Company studies the feasibility of solutions for data centers.

 

Government Regulations in Japan

 

Given that the entirety of our operations are conducted within Japan, and our customers reside in Japan, only the rules and regulations pertaining to Japan are presently applicable to the Company’s operations relating to drones.

 

The Aviation Act prohibits flying drones over residential areas or areas surrounding an airport without permission from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation. Flying drones during night time and during an event is also prohibited. In addition, drones no lighter than 200 grams in unrestricted areas across the country are required to stay below 150 meters (492 feet), and also be kept at least 30 meters (98 feet) from people, buildings, and vehicles.

 

Given that SkyFight-X is lighter than 200 grams, flying SkyFight-X’s for the purposes of drone racing or participating in drone flying schools is not prohibited by any pertinent regulations in Japan. We are not subject to specific regulations pertaining to the manufacturing and design of the SkyFight-X at this time.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data. 

 

No applicable because the Company is a smaller reporting company. 

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

As of October 31, 2022 and 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $5,836,065 and $2,583,218, respectively. The increase in cash is attributed to an increase in revenues. Currently, our cash balance is sufficient to fund our operations without the need for additional funding.

 

Revenues

 

We recorded revenue of $29,440,341 for the year ended October 31, 2022 as opposed to $11,813,816 for the year ended October 31, 2021.

 

Net Income

 

We recorded net income of $8,908,782 for the year ended October 31, 2022 and net income of $2,332,451 for the year ended October 31, 2021. The increase in net income is attributed to an increase in revenue from 2021 to 2022.

 

Cash flow

 

For the year ended October 31, 2022, we had cash flows from operations in the amount of $4,605,591. For the year ended October 31, 2021, we had cash flows from operations in the amount of $2,032,197. The increase in operating cash flow, in our opinion, is attributed to an increase in net income and an increase in deferred revenue. 

 

For the year ended October 31, 2022, we had negative cash flows from investing activities in the amount of $227,180. For the year ended October 31, 2021, we had negative cash flows from investing activities in the amount of $187,123. The decrease in investing cash flow, in our opinion, is attributed to the purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment.   

 

For the year ended October 31, 2022, we had zero cash flows from financing activities. For the year ended October 31, 2021, we had cash flows from financing activities in the amount of $455. The decrease in financing cash flows, in our opinion, is attributed to the fact that we had proceeds from due to related party for the year ended October 31, 2021.  

  

Working Capital

 

As of October 31, 2022 and 2021, we had working capital of $9,697,677 and $3,233,211, respectively.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company demonstrates some positive trends, compared with the previous fiscal years, in our financial statements as in below:

 

As of October 31, 2022, the Company recorded cash and cash equivalents of $5,836,065, an increase of $3,252,847 when compared October 31, 2021 whereas the Company realized cash and cash equivalents of $2,583,218. The Company's major source of liquidity was derived from the sales of drones   and digital currency mining rigs (cryptocurrency miners). As stated in the consolidated financial statements, the Company, for the year ended on October 31, 2022, recorded a net income of $8,908,782 (+282 % y-o-y) and earned $4,605,591 (+127 % y-o-y) in cash flows from operating activities. 

 

Having reviewed the above, the Company realizes that whether we shall be able to continue demonstrating the positive trends demonstrated in our financial statements, lies in our ability to continue to generate revenue and increase revenue going forward. Principally, the Company's consolidated financial statements are based on going concern assumptions, which assume the realization of assets and offset of liabilities in the normal course of business. Based on this, the Company also recognizes that it is critical for us to continue to operate and/or perform our obligation(s) in the future and procure any required funds needed to meet the redemption of its debt during normal business operations.

 

Management has evaluated the estimated impact of COVID-19, which has become a significant factor impacting operations of businesses globally, one of which we believe we will need to continue to monitor as to the potential effects it may have on our own business.

 

The Company assessed the impact of COVID-19 and believes there to be minimal impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s drone sales, which is currently the Company’s primary source of revenue. The Company will need to continue to monitor COVID-19 and the effects it may have, socially and economically, as it is possible that such developments may in fact impact our operations going forward or more specifically, our sales results. At this time, the Company believes that it will not affect our assumptions as a going concern.

 

Based on the Company’s evaluation, based on the positive financial trends it has experienced year over year e.g. increase in net income and increase in net cash provided by operating activities, management believes that it has completely mitigated the circumstances that led to a doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, i.e. dependency on a single major customer, which existed at the time of the filing of the Company’s prior year report. 

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of World Scan Project, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of World Scan Project, Inc. (the Company) as of October 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 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 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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

Critical Audit Matters

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

Revenue Recognition

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Company’s clients, a determination is made as to who is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sales transaction.

 

Auditing management’s evaluation of agreements with customers involves significant judgment, given the fact that some agreements require management’s evaluation of principal versus agent.

 

To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the assessment by management, we evaluated management’s assessment in relationship to the relevant agreements.

  NOTES TO THE AUDITED  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

OCTOBER 31, 2022

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

World Scan Project, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 25, 2019.

 

On October 25, 2019, Ryohei Uetaki, our officer and director, paid for expenses involved with the incorporation of the Company with personal funds on behalf of the Company, in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which issuance was exempt from the registration provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of such same said act. The value of the stock provided to Mr. Uetaki, based on the par value of $.0001 per share of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, is valued at $2,000.

 

On October 25, 2019, Ryohei Uetaki was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer.

 

On November 18, 2019, Yasumasa Ichikawa was appointed as Chief Technology Officer.

 

On January 25, 2020, the Company entered into and consummated a Share Contribution Agreement with Ryohei Uetaki. Pursuant to this agreement Mr. Uetaki gifted to the Company, at no cost, 300 shares of common stock of World Scan Project Corporation, a Japan corporation (“WSP Japan”), which represented all of its issued and outstanding shares. The Company has since gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of WSP Japan’s common stock and WSP Japan is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company and WSP Japan were under common control at the time of the acquisition.

 

WSP Japan was incorporated under the laws of Japan on January 22, 2020. Currently, WSP Japan is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The Company’s primary business is focused on developing and manufacturing of autonomous aerial vehicles including drones.

 

On February 19, 2020, Ryohei Uetaki gifted 7,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which represented all of our issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at the time, to SKYPR LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (referred to herein as “SKYPR LLC”). Our CEO Ryohei Uetaki owns and controls 100% of the membership interests in SKYPR LLC.

 

In September, 2020, the Company entered into subscription agreements with 41 shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company issued 647,350 shares of common stock in total to these shareholders and received $323,675 as aggregate consideration. At the time of purchase the price paid per share by each shareholder was the equivalent of about 0.50 USD.

 

These shares were sold pursuant to the Company’s effective S-1 Registration Statement deemed effective on August 28, 2020 at 4pm EST.

 

We operate through our wholly owned subsidiary, World Scan Project Corporation, a Japanese Company. We are a start-up stage company currently focused on developing, designing and selling small sized drones which may be used for a variety of purposes.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 2-18-23, Nishiwaseda, Shinjuku-Ku, Tokyo, 169-0051, Japan.

 

The Company has elected October 31st as its year end.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES     

 

Principles of Consolidations

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, World Scan Project Corporation, whose registered address is 2-18-23, Nishiwaseda, Shinjuku-Ku, Tokyo, 162-0051, Japan. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

All advertising, promotion and marketing expenses, including commissions, are expensed when incurred.

 

Leases

 

The Company capitalizes all leased assets pursuant to ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from Topic 842 as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

 

Related party transaction   

 

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of six months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies

 

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. If there is a claim for a defect of product within four days after arrival of goods, the Company shall accept a goods return.

 

Advance payments and prepaid expenses

 

Advance payments and prepaid expenses are cash paid amounts that represent costs incurred from which a service or benefit is expected to be derived in the future.

 

Inventory 

 

Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, and are valued at the lower of cost or market value. This valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently-available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.

 

Fixed assets and depreciation

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment loss. The initial cost of the assets comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the respective assets as follows: computer software developed or acquired for internal use, 2 to 5 years; computer equipment, 2 to 5 years; buildings and improvements, 5 to 15 years; leasehold improvements, 2 to 10 years; and furniture and equipment, 1 to 5 years.

Foreign currency translation 

 

The Company maintains its books and records in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations. 

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of shareholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:

 

  October 31, 2022
Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate 148.26
Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate 127.39

 

Comprehensive income or loss

 

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.

 

Revenue recognition  

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 – Revenue from contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue amount represents the invoiced value, net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”) and applicable local government levies. The Consumption Tax on sales is calculated at 10% of gross sales. The Company is subject to consumption taxes in Japan for the year ended October 31, 2022. For the year ended October 31, 2021, a consumption tax refund of $330,694 was recorded in Other income due to a tax exemption.   

 

The following table summarizes our revenue recognized under ASC 606 in our consolidated statements of operations:

 

    Year Ended
    October 31,
    2022   2021
         
Revenues               
Product sales     $ 14,043,637   $ 11,637,104
Product sales – related party     7,879     -
Crypto miners sales, net     14,917,287     -
Program for educational institution     33,541     38,606
Other     437,997     138,106
Total Revenue Under ASC 606     29,440,341     11,813,816
             
             
Total Revenue Under ASC 606   $ 29,440,341   $ 11,813,816
               

 

Revenue from product sales

 

Revenue for products is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer and the customer completes the product inspection. Cash receipts for undelivered products are recorded as deferred revenues. As of October 31, 2022, the Company no deferred revenues related to product sales. 

 

Revenue – related party

 

During the year ended October 31, 2022, revenue totaling approximately $7,879 was recognized from sales to related party ZEXAVERSE Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “ZEXAVERSE”). ZEXAVERSE is considered as a related party due to the fact that Ryohei Uetaki, CEO of the Company, controls the said company. The terms and conditions applied to the above transactions were the same as those applied to sales to customers not related to the Company.

 

Revenue from crypto miners sales       

 

During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Company acted as an agent in facilitating the sales of crypto miners, produced by a third-party manufacturer, to customers of the Company. Revenue for the sale of crypto miners was recognized when the miners were delivered to the customers and the customers completed the inspection of the miners. Management assessed the Company’s contracts with the third-party manufacturer and customers in consideration of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, and determined the Company as the agent in said transactions. As such, the company recognized crypto miner sales net of costs. For the year ended October 31, 2022, Cost of goods sold for minor purchases, netted by the gross sales was $35,580,995. $7,401,171 of deferred revenues are related to deposits for crypto miners.

 

Revenue from educational institution program

 

Revenue for educational institution fees is recognized when the services are provided to the customer. Cash receipts for undelivered products are recorded as deferred revenues. As of October 31, 2022, the Company had no deferred revenues related to the educational institution program.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. 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. 

 

Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share   

 

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. Each shareholder of Series A Preferred Stock may convert their shares at the option of the holder thereof into an equal amount of shares of any other class or series of the Company’s stock on a one to one basis, therefore the Company computes diluted earnings (loss) per shares by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the total of weighted average number of common shares and total preferred shares outstanding.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

    October 31,  
       
    2022   2021  
 Basic earnings per share   $ .84   $ .22  
 Diluted earnings per share   $ .43    $ .11  

   

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

- Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

- Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

- Level 3 – Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. 

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of October 31, 2022. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of October 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had no financial instruments.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.    

 

Concentration of Purchases   

 

Net purchase from suppliers accounting for 10% or more of total purchases are as follows:

 

For the year ended October 31, 2022, 51.81% of the inventories were purchased from G-Force in the amount of $5,864,586 and 24.95% of the inventories were purchased from DN Branch in the amount of $2,823,899.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2021, 90.6% of the inventories were purchased from G-Force in the amount of $4,545,382.

 

Concentration of Revenues     

 

Gross revenues from customers accounting for 10% or more of total revenues are as follows:

 

For the year ended October 31, 2022, 48.31% of total revenue was generated from Drone Net in the amount of $14,221,414.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2021, 98.95% of total revenue was generated from Drone Net in the amount of $11,690,057.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company demonstrates some positive trends, compared with the previous fiscal years, in our financial statements as in below:

 

As of October 31, 2022, the Company recorded cash and cash equivalents of $5,836,065, an increase of $3,252,847 compared to $2,583,218 in the prior year ended October 31, 2021, and the Company’s major sources of liquidity derived from the sales of drones and crypto miners. As stated in the consolidated financial statements, the Company, for the year ended on October 31, 2022, recorded a net income of $8,908,782 (+282% y-o-y) and earned $4,605,591 (+127% y-o-y) in cash flows from operating activities.

 

Having reviewed the above, the Company realizes that whether we shall be able to continue demonstrating the positive trends demonstrated in our financial statements, lies in our ability to continue to generate revenue and increase revenue going forward. Principally, the Company's consolidated financial statements are based on going concern assumptions, which assume the realization of assets and offset of liabilities in the normal course of business. Based on this, the Company also recognizes that it is critical for us to continue to operate and/or perform our obligation(s) in the future and procure any required funds needed to meet the redemption of its debt during normal business operations.

 

Management has evaluated the estimated impact of COVID-19, which has become a significant factor impacting operations of businesses globally, one of which we believe we will need to continue to monitor as to the potential effects it may have on our own business.

 

The Company assessed the impact of COVID-19 and believes there to be minimal impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s drone sales, which is currently the Company’s primary source of revenue. The Company will need to continue to monitor COVID-19 and the effects it may have, socially and economically, as it is possible that such developments may in fact impact our operations going forward or more specifically, our sales results. At this time, the Company believes that it will not affect our assumptions as a going concern.

 

Based on the Company’s evaluation, based on the positive financial trends it has experienced year over year e.g. increase in net income and increase in net cash provided by operating activities, management believes that it has completely mitigated the circumstances that led to a doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, i.e. dependency on a single major customer, which existed at the time of the filing of the Company’s prior year report. 

  

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE  

 

Accounts receivable from customers totaled $1,847,068 as of October 31, 2022 and $4,724 as of October 31, 2021. No bad debt allowance was provided as of October 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

 

Concentration of Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable from customers accounting for 10% or more of total accounts receivable are as follows:

 

For the year ended October 31, 2022, 77.36% of total accounts receivable was owed to the Company by Drone Net in the amount of $1,428,976 and 15.36% of total accounts receivable was owed to the Company by Chabi land in the amount of $283,792.  

 

NOTE 5 - ADVANCE PAYMENTS AND PREPAID EXPENSES

 

Advance payments are comprised of the payments for the undelivered products and other deliverables. As of October 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had advance payments and other prepaid expenses of $16,389,562 and $3,035,135, respectively.

    For the Years Ended  
    December 31,  
    2022     2021  
Current   $ 5,282,697     $ 1,333,338  
Deferred     (357,819)     -  
Total   $ 4,924,878     $ 1,333,338  

 

 

A reconciliation of the effective income tax rates reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to the Japanese statutory tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

 

    For the Years Ended  
    December 31,  
    2022     2021  
Japanese statutory tax rate     34.59 %     34.59 %
Change in valuation allowance     1.01 %     1.78 %
Effective tax rate     35.60 %     36.37 %

 

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented below:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2022     2021  
Deferred tax assets                
Business tax payable   $ 307,438     $ 34,744  
Other     82,991       9,016  
Subtotal     390,429       43,760  
Less valuation allowance      (82,991 )     (43,760 )
Total deferred tax assets   $ 307,438     $ -  

 

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in future periods. The Company regularly assesses the ability to realize its deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company weighs all available positive and negative evidence, including its earnings history and results of recent operations, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.

 

The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for growth. The adjustments of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets may cause greater volatility in the effective tax rate in the periods in which the valuation allowance is adjusted. For the year ended October 31, 2021, a full valuation allowance was provided. For the year ended October 31, 2022, certain valuation allowance was released for WSP Japan considering the collectability of deferred tax assets.

NOTE 10 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS     

  

Revenue

 

During the year ended October 31, 2022, revenue totaling $7,879 was recognized from sales to related party ZEXAVERSE. The said company is considered as a related party due to the fact that Ryohei Uetaki, CEO of the Company, controls the said company.

 

The terms and conditions applied to the above transactions were the same as those applied to sales to customers not related to the Company.

 

Loan to the Company

 

As of October 31, 2022, our CEO and Director, Ryohei Uetaki, has advanced to the Company $18,517 for salary and $458 for expenses. This advance is considered as a loan to the Company which is unsecured, noninterest-bearing and payable on demand.

 

Transfer of assets to ZEXAVERSE

 

Aiming to establish a new revenue source, the Company planned to enter a new business, create avatars which offer exploring opportunities in metaverse. Found less feasible to realize reasonable revenue, the Company gave up the idea and related assets were transferred to ZEXAVERSE before the Company put those in service.

 

For the said transaction, the Company and ZEXAVERSE entered into a memorandum on July 1, 2022 and assets were all transferred to ZEXAVERSE on July 15, 2022. However, the Company was the contracting party with the vendors in sourcing assets for the new business, the Company invoiced the sum of contract value with vendors to ZEXAVERSE upon the said transfer and booked the said amount as other receivables – related party, a total of $727,911. The amount we disbursed to the vendors and the amount the company invoiced to ZEXAVERSE, which was paid by October 31, 2022, are the same amount. There is no revenue/loss, inventory, cost of goods sold occurred or recorded as an asset to the Company in relation to this transaction.  

 

Sales activities with ZEXAVERSE

 

During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Company sold goggles ($7,879 in total) to ZEXAVERSE. The terms of conditions applied to the said transactions were the same conditions the Company applies to the non-Related Party clients, and the Company did not give any advantages to ZEXAVERSE.

Account receivables and sales relevant to the said transactions are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income hereinabove.

    

NOTE 11 - LEASE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

Our adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and subsequent ASUs related to Topic 842, requires us to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as an ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures as detailed below. We adopted this standard on the effective date of November 1, 2020 and used this effective date as the date of initial application. Under this application method, we were not required to restate prior period financial information or provide Topic 842 disclosures for prior periods. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permitted us to not reassess our prior conclusions related to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs, and we did not elect the use of hindsight.

 

We determine if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. We review all options to extend, terminate, or purchase the ROU assets, and when reasonably certain to exercise, we include the option in the determination of the lease term and lease liability. We have six operating leases related to our office space in Tokyo with remaining lease terms of 1 to 3 years. We recognized $311,951 and $99,850 in operating lease costs for the years ended October 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, respectively.

 

Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the lease, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes any lease incentives. When readily determinable, we use the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term.

 

The tables below present financial information associated with our leases. As noted above, we adopted Topic 842 using a transition method that does not require application to periods prior to adoption.

 

Balance Sheet Classification October 31, 2022 October 31, 2021
           
Right-of-use assets Lease asset long $ 705,007 $ 406,816

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Principal Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Office who also serves as our Principal Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, Ryohei Uetaki, has reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by the report October 31, 2022 and has concluded that (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued in 2013. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of October 31, 2022, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is ineffective based on those criteria.

 

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control processes will prevent all error and all 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that the breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our Chief Executive Officer considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of Treadway Commission were: domination of management by a single individual without adequate compensating controls, lack of a majority of outside directors on board of directors, inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, lack of well-established procedures to identify, approve and report related party transactions, and lack of an audit committee.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and inadequate segregation of duties results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

Management recognizes that its controls and procedures would be substantially improved if we had an audit committee and two individuals serving as officers and as such is actively seeking to remediate this issue.

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

 

We have increased our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise to remediate material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who 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 when funds are available to us.

 

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.

 

We will work as quickly as possible to implement these initiatives; however, the lack of adequate working capital and positive cash flow from operations will likely slow this implementation.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There have been no changes in internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal fourth quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Ethics

 

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company's employees, officers and directors as the Company is not required to do so.

 

In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company's board of director(s) (the "Board of Directors" or "Board"), is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company's financial statements and other services provided by the Company's independent public accountants. The Board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company review the Company's internal accounting controls, practices and policies.

 

Committees of the Board

 

Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our sole director believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the director(s) can adequately perform the functions of such committees.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our director has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.

 

We believe that our director(s) are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The director(s) of our Company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of directors can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our officers and sole director have not been involved in or a party in any of the following events or actions during the past ten years:

 

1. any bankruptcy petition filed by or against 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;
2. any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
3. being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
4. being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission 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.
5. Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;
6. Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated;
7. Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or(ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or(iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
8. Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Independence of Directors

 

We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are required to do so.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Director(s) evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

 

Shareholder Proposals

 

Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Director(s) believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Director(s) will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Director(s) may do so by directing a written request addressed to our sole Director Ryohei Uetaki, at the address appearing on the first page of this Information Statement.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company’s common stock. Such officers, directors and persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file with the SEC.

 

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms that were received by the Company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, the Company is not aware of any failures to file reports or report transactions in a timely manner during the Company’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.

 

Procedure for Nominating Directors

 

In 2021 and 2022, we have not made any material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among our directors, executive officers or persons nominated to become executive officers or directors.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

During the past ten (10) years, none of our directors, persons nominated to become directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons was involved in any of the legal proceedings listen in Item 401 (f) of Regulation S-K.

 

Arrangements

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between an executive officer, director or nominee and any other person pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as an executive officer or director.

This package may also include long-term stock based compensation to certain executives, which is intended to align the performance of our executives with our long-term business strategies. Additionally, while our Board of Directors has not granted any performance base stock options to date, the Board of Directors reserves the right to grant such options in the future, if the Board in its sole determination believes such grants would be in the best interests of the Company.

The Board of Directors may grant incentive bonuses to our executive officer and/or future executive officers in its sole discretion, if the Board of Directors believes such bonuses are in the Company’s best interest, after analyzing our current business objectives and growth, if any, and the amount of revenue we are able to generate each month, which revenue is a direct result of the actions and ability of such executives.

In order to attract, retain and motivate executive talent necessary to support the Company’s long-term business strategy we may award our executive and any future executives with long-term, stock-based compensation in the future, at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, which we do not currently have any immediate plans to award.

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.
