Note 1. Organization:

BioPower Corporation (“BioPower” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on September 13, 2010. On January 5, 2011, the Company re-domiciled to Nevada and formed BioPower Operations Corporation, a Nevada corporation. On January 6, 2011, the shareholders of BioPower Corporation contributed their shares of BioPower Corporation to BioPower Operations Corporation and BioPower Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary.

On October 24, 2014, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement (“SEA”) with Green³Power Holdings Company (“G³P”) to acquire G³P and its wholly owned subsidiaries Green³Power Operations Inc., a Delaware corporation (“G³P OPS”), and Green³Power International Company, a Nevis corporation (“G³PI”). This transaction was a stock for stock exchange (the “Exchange”), which was accounted for as an acquisition and recorded as an expense based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the date of the exchange. Also exchanged was one share of the Company’s Series B preferred stock, which is convertible into common shares two years from the date of the SEA, if certain milestones are met as required by the SEA. No value was attributed to the preferred share. We conduct all of our operations through G³P and its subsidiaries which are primarily engaged in the development of waste-to-energy projects and services including design, permitting, equipment procurement, construction management and operations and maintenance of the intended facilities. We intend to hold equity interests in the waste-to-energy facilities on a global basis and operate and maintain the facilities. A second business unit is focused on providing waste remediation services globally.

The Company’s fiscal year end is November 30.

On January 6, 2011, we acquired 100% of BioPower Corporation (“BC”), a Florida corporation incorporated on September 13, 2010, by our then-CEO and Director contributing 100% of the outstanding shares to the Company. As a result, BC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On May 12, 2012, the Company formed FTZ Energy Exchange Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, for the future development of an energy exchange. On June 7, 2012, the Company’s then-Chief Executive Officer contributed 100% of his member interest in FTZ Exchange, LLC (“FTZ”), a wholly owned subsidiary, to the Company for no consideration. FTZ is a licensing company that licenses business know-how and technology to build transaction fee-based exchanges for the sale of products and services in vertical markets.

On August 2, 2012, the Company formed Agribopo, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, for the development of biomass related projects. On November 27, 2012, the Company entered into a non-exclusive global license with Advanced Green Technologies, LLC to convert biomass wastes from animals, humans and cellulosic biomass to cellulosic ethanol, fertilizer and other derivative products.

On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into the SEA with G³P to acquire G³P and its wholly owned subsidiaries, G³P OPS and G³PI through the Exchange.

By October 24, 2016, G³P had failed to meet the provisions of the SEA that would allow G³P to take over control of the Company. As a result, the Company’s Board of Directors tried to come to an arrangement to separate BioPower from its subsidiaries, but in the end, decided that it would be in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders to move forward looking for a new acquisition. From October 24, 2016 until February 2017, the Company continued project development of waste-to-energy projects with extremely limited funds. In February 2017, the Company ceased all operations. At that time, we became a shell company.

In 2019, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with WPP Energy GmbH and China Energy Partners, LLC (“CEP”), but after exhausting all efforts we were unable to negotiate a definitive agreement or close the transaction.

On June 29, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Rafael Ben Shaya, Troy MacDonald, Adam Benchaya, Thomas Perez, Tom Saban and Edouard Pouchoy (collectively, Messrs. Ben Shaya, MacDonald, Benchaya, Perez, Saban and Pouchoy are referred to herein as the “Sellers”).

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company agreed to acquire from the Sellers, and the Sellers agreed to sell to the Company, certain assets comprised of the goodwill, intellectual property, business proprietary know-how and trade secrets, intangible property and other assets of Sellers’ business with respect to HyFi, and any and all rights of Sellers in and to the foregoing (the “Assets”), and certain governance/utility virtual tokens (collectively, the “HyFi Tokens”) expected to be used as a means of payment on the HyFi Platform, as hereinafter defined (the “Acquisition”). The “HyFi Platform” means a decentralized finances (“DeFi”) exchange marketplace using blockchain platform technology. The DeFi principles are based on an ecosystem of financial services utilizing tokenization and non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) for production, licenses, projects and commodities across vertical and horizontal markets.

In addition, the Sellers agreed to (i) pay to the Company, on the closing date of the Acquisition, $300,000 (the “Cash Consideration”), and (ii) transfer to the Company, on the closing date of the Acquisition, 400,000,000 HyFi Tokens (the “HyFi Token Consideration”). The Company intends to use the Cash Consideration to bring the Company into a fully reporting status with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and for public company operating expenses.

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company agreed to file with the State of Nevada the certificate of designation for the Series C preferred stock on or before the date that is 60 calendar days after the closing of the Acquisition. In exchange for the sale of the Assets and the Cash Consideration, the Company agreed to issue to the Sellers an aggregate of 900,000 Series C preferred shares within 30 calendar days after the State of Nevada provides written confirmation of filing of the certificate of designation for the Series C preferred stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the parties agreed that the Series C preferred stock will have the following terms, among others:

The Acquisition closed on June 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, the Sellers delivered the Cash Consideration and the HyFi Token Consideration.

On August 27, 2021, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a certificate of designations for the Series C preferred stock.

Series A Preferred Stock Redemption Agreement & Senior Promissory Note

Also on the Closing Date, the Company and CEP entered into a share redemption agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”), dated as of June 29, 2021, pursuant to which the Company redeemed one share of the Company’s Series A preferred stock from CEP (the “Series A Share”). On the Closing Date, as provided in the Redemption Agreement, the Company issued to CEP a senior promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000. The Series A Share will be held in escrow. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) occurs under the Note, then the Company will direct the escrow agent to release the Series A Share to CEP; provided, however, that CEP will also retain all rights and privileges under the Note (and the Company will remain bound to all obligations under Note) even if the Series A Share is required to be released by the escrow agent to CEP as provided in the Redemption Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, CEP will regain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Series A Share upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note, regardless of the amount of the outstanding balance owed under the Note at the time of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC on September 3, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (the “ASC”) which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception. As of August 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,286,995 and stockholders’ deficit of $5,286,995.

Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through private placements, as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or other securities and obtaining some short-term loans. The Company will be required to continue to so until its operations become profitable. Also, the Company has, in the past, paid for consulting services with its common stock to maximize working capital, and intends to continue this practice where feasible.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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. The most significant estimates relate to income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under ASC 606. As of and period ended August 31, 2021 the financial statements were not impacted due to the application of ASC 606 because the Company had no revenues.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On August 31, 2021, and November 30, 2020, the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $181,273 and $-0-, respectively.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions quarterly to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance outlined in Section 718-10 of the ASC for disclosure about stock-based compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Net Loss per Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard.

We adopted ASC 842 on July 1, 2021. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have any impact on our financial statements.

Stockholders’ Equity

On July 28, 2021, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation, as amended, in order to, among other things, (i) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000, (ii) increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 10,000 to 5,000,000, and (iii) change the par value of the preferred stock from $1.00 par value per share to $0.0001 par value per share. As of August 31, 2021, the Company had authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of August 31, 2021, and November 30, 2020, respectively, there were 45,000,000 and 43,107,680 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, and 900,000 and 1 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

On the Closing Date, as provided in the Redemption Agreement, the Company issued to CEP the Note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 with an interest rate of 6% per annum. The Series A Share will be held in escrow. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) occurs under the Note, then the Company will direct the escrow agent to release the Series A Share to CEP; provided, however, that CEP will also retain all rights and privileges under the Note (and the Company will remain bound to all obligations under Note) even if the Series A Share is required to be released by the escrow agent to CEP as provided in the Redemption Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, CEP will regain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Series A Share upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note, regardless of the amount of the outstanding balance owed under the Note at the time of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note.

On June 29, 2021, the Sellers agreed to (i) pay to the Company, on the closing date of the Acquisition, $300,000 (the “Cash Consideration”), and (ii) transfer to the Company, on the closing date of the Acquisition, 400,000,000 HyFi Tokens (the “HyFi Token Consideration”). The Company intends to use the Cash Consideration to bring the Company into a fully reporting status with the SEC and for public company operating expenses.

In exchange for the sale of the Assets and the Cash Consideration, the Company agreed to issue to the Sellers an aggregate of 900,000 Series C preferred shares within 30 calendar days after the State of Nevada provides written confirmation of filing of the certificate of designation for the Series C preferred stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the parties agreed that the Series C preferred stock will have the following terms, among others:

On August 27, 2021, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a certificate of designations for the Series C preferred stock.

Overview

BioPower Operations Corporation (“we,” “our,” “BioPower”, or the “Company”) was organized in Nevada on January 5, 2011. Since February 2017, the Company has been a shell company.

HyFi Asset Purchase Agreement

On June 29, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Rafael Ben Shaya, Troy MacDonald, Adam Benchaya, Thomas Perez, Tom Saban and Edouard Pouchoy (collectively, Messrs. Ben Shaya, MacDonald, Benchaya, Perez, Saban and Pouchoy are referred to herein as the “Sellers”).

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company agreed to acquire from the Sellers, and the Sellers agreed to sell to the Company, certain assets comprised of the goodwill, intellectual property, business proprietary know-how and trade secrets, intangible property and other assets of Sellers’ business with respect to HyFi, and any and all rights of Sellers in and to the foregoing (the “Assets”), and certain governance/utility virtual tokens (collectively, the “HyFi Tokens”) expected to be used as a means of payment on the HyFi Platform, as hereinafter defined (the “Acquisition”). The “HyFi Platform” means a decentralized finances (“DeFi”) exchange marketplace using blockchain platform technology. The DeFi principles are based on an ecosystem of financial services utilizing tokenization and non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) for production, licenses, projects and commodities across vertical and horizontal markets.

In addition, the Sellers agreed to (i) pay to the Company, on the closing date of the Acquisition, $300,000 (the “Cash Consideration”), and (ii) transfer to the Company, on the closing date of the Acquisition, 400,000,000 HyFi Tokens (the “HyFi Token Consideration”). The Company intends to use the Cash Consideration to bring the Company into a fully reporting status with the Securities and Exchange Commission and for public company operating expenses.

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company agreed to file with the State of Nevada the certificate of designation for the Series C preferred stock on or before the date that is 60 calendar days after the closing of the Acquisition. In exchange for the sale of the Assets and the Cash Consideration, the Company agreed to issue to the Sellers an aggregate of 900,000 Series C preferred shares within 30 calendar days after the State of Nevada provides written confirmation of filing of the certificate of designation for the Series C preferred stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the parties agreed that the Series C preferred stock will have the following terms, among others:

The Acquisition closed on June 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, the Sellers delivered the Cash Consideration and the HyFi Token Consideration.

On August 27, 2021, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a certificate of designations for the Series C preferred stock.

Series A Preferred Stock Redemption Agreement & Senior Promissory Note

Also on the Closing Date, the Company and China Energy Partners, LLC (“CEP”) entered into a share redemption agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”), dated as of June 29, 2021, pursuant to which the Company redeemed one share of the Company’s Series A preferred stock from CEP (the “Series A Share”). On the Closing Date, as provided in the Redemption Agreement, the Company issued to CEP a senior promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000. The Series A Share will be held in escrow by an attorney designated by CEP (the “Escrow Agent”), and the CEP will designate such Escrow Agent within 30 calendar days after the Closing Date. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) occurs under the Note, then the Company will direct the Escrow Agent to release the Series A Share to CEP; provided, however, that CEP will also retain all rights and privileges under the Note (and the Company will remain bound to all obligations under Note) even if the Series A Share is required to be released by the Escrow Agent to CEP as provided in the Redemption Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, CEP will regain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Series A Share upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note, regardless of the amount of the outstanding balance owed under the Note at the time of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note.

HyFi Platform

The HyFi Platform is a proposed decentralized finances (DeFi) exchange marketplace utilizing blockchain technology. The DeFi principles are based on the creation of an innovative ecosystem of financial services accessible to anyone with Internet access.

The HyFi Token will be featured on the HyFi Platform as the governance token. The HyFi Token may also be used as a payment token for transaction fees on the HyFi Platform. The HyFi ecosystem will be built on a combination of tokens to support its economy.

The HyFi economy is being established to advance and accelerate technologies to be funded through the use of our marketplace. Our initial focus will be on renewable energy, environment, agri-food and then other markets globally.

The HyFi Platform will initially focus on two distinct businesses: (1) the NFT Marketplace and (2) the Commodities Trading Marketplace.

NFT Marketplace

NFTs are collectible digital assets in which various objects are digitized. Each NFT represents ownership of something inherently distinct and unique, whether it be a physical or a digital item. NFTs cannot be mutually exchanged for one another because each NFT has a specific value based on its unique traits and attributes. When NFTs are sold, the digital version of the object is sold as a unique, blockchain-authenticated collectible.

NFT marketplaces are platforms where NFTs can be stored, displayed, traded and in some cases, created (or “minted”). NFTs cannot be purchased on centralized or decentralized cryptocurrency or other exchanges. Instead, they are listed and traded on online marketplaces that are specially built for NFTs. We expect to launch our NFT Marketplace by the end of September 2021.

NFTs will be created that will represent up to 49% ownership interest of a license to a particular geographic market (e.g., India) or a particular industry market vertical. There will be a subclass of NFTs that represent an opportunity for many participants to have fractional ownership and participation in the unique exclusive license NFT. The HyFi cash flow NFT Marketplace intends to initially list companies in the energy or energy and environment related sectors that will provide license fees from unique license fee contracts for horizontal markets such as territories. As an example, an energy trading company lists on the HyFi Platform that it is willing to pay license fees of 5% annually with a potential bonus based on income for its energy trading license for North America. It is willing to sell up to 49% of its ownership in that license for $250,000,000 minimum and maximum $1,000,000,000 in units of $50,000,000 each to institutional holders. The HyFi Platform will either (1) receive fees for due diligence for each license; listing fees for listing on the HyFi Platform; and other fees associated with this transaction, or (2) do a strategic alliance, charge no fees and have a percentage of the transaction. This decision is up to the applicant.

The cash flow NFT Marketplace also intends to initially accept horizontal marketplace NFTs. As an example, an agriculture company has specific technology licenses for growing protocols for organic and non-pesticides food. The company has operations in Costa Rica and other Central American countries. The company intends to sell up to 49% of its technology licenses for $500,000 minimum to $5,000,000 maximum per country and pay 5% license fees and a potential bonus annually. The HyFi Platform will either (1) receive fees for due diligence for each license; listing fees for listing on the HyFi Platform; and other fees associated with this transaction or (2) do a strategic alliance, charge no fees and have a percentage of the transaction. This decision is up to the applicant.

Once an owner is satisfied with the amount paid for the licenses, they end the sale of the NFT ownership licenses. At that point the NFTs can then become part of the HyFi commodities marketplace where NFT Tokens are traded.

The Company has been in discussions with various companies in energy and energy related sectors and horizontal sectors who are interested in listing their NFTs on the NFT Marketplace. At the same time, we are working with our vendors to build out the NFT Marketplaces. We are also in initial discussions with major investment groups regarding possible joint ventures, licensing or NFT purchases. There can be no assurance that any such discussions will lead to customers or revenue.

On July 28, 2021, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation, as amended, in order to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000, (ii) increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 10,000 to 5,000,000, (iii) change the par value of the preferred stock from $1.00 par value per share to $0.0001 par value per share; and (iv) increase the number of directors from one to four. As of August 31, 2021, the Company had authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of August 31, 2021, there were 45,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and 900,000 and 1 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

On October 7, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its amended and restated articles in order to change its corporate name from BioPower Operations Corporation. to HyFi Corp (the “Name Change”). The Name Change is expected to be effective in the coming weeks, following clearance by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Going Concern

Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We have a minimal operating history and minimal revenues or earnings from operations. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues for the immediate future.

There is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our expenses. We must raise cash from sources other than revenues generated, such as from the proceeds of loans, public or private equity sales, and/or advances from related parties. There is no guarantee that any loans will be received, any equity sales will be made, and/or any related parties will advance funds to us or that such funds will be available on favorable terms.

Plan of Operation

We were dormant from February 2017 to June 29, 2021.

We are working to define the details for the NFT and commodity trading marketplaces. We are focused on completing the technology needs for our September 30, 2021 launch of the NFT marketplace. At the same time, we are also focused on the end of the year completion of the full HyFi Platform, including the commodities marketplace.

The Company has been in discussions with various companies in energy and energy related sectors and horizontal sectors who are interested in listing their NFTs on the Cash Flow NFT Marketplace. At the same time, we are working with our vendors to build out the NFT Marketplaces. We are also in initial discussions with major investment groups regarding possible joint ventures, licensing or NFT purchases. There can be no assurance that any such discussions will lead to customers or revenue.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. We have not generated any revenue since inception. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.

If we are unable to meet our needs for cash from either our operations, or possible alternative sources, then we may be unable to continue, develop, or expand our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of August 31, 2021.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on 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.

Change in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended August 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
