Venture Vanadium Inc.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2021

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Venture Vanadium Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 26, 2016. Venture Vanadium Inc. (Formerly Aura Energy Inc.) was previously engaged in the production of wood-manufactured bow ties in China, Hunan Province. This has now ceased. On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into the Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement whereby certain terms of the original agreement were amended.  Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer the titles in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, the receipt from the Company of 1,000,000 shares and a two per cent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the property. We now intend to focus on the minerals and resources sector.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2021.

On January 29, 2021, we entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with certain third parties (the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Buyers may elect to purchase the shares of our common stock held by Ian Ilsley, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, sole director and controlling stockholder, and certain other shareholders of our Company (collectively, the “Sellers”) constituting 77.12% of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The LOI shall not constitute a binding agreement and no binding agreement shall exist until such time as the Sellers and the Buyers execute one or more definitive agreements with respect to the applicable portion of the Shares with legally enforceable obligations with respect to the Acquisition. While we intend to consummate this transaction, there are no assurances that we will be able to do so on the terms contemplated by the parties or at all, and the Buyers may abandon the transaction at any time for any reason or no reason.

Note 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. We had no revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2021. We currently have losses and have not completed our efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management anticipates that we will depend, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. We intend to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that we will be successful in this or any of our endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – IMPACT OF COVID-19

With the present COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will need to manage its cash flow during these difficult times and funding resources may not be available as the outlook is uncertain. The Company’s plan of operations may not proceed and can be held up due to the impact of COVID-19. These are unprecedented times and the Company will adjust to the new realities and will actively monitor the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business. The full extent of the impact of economic uncertainty on the Company’s business operations and financial results will depend on numerous factors that the company may not be able to accurately predict. In an effort to protect the health and safety are employees and consultants a significant amount of time is

8

spent working remotely, international travel has been curtailed and a lot of other functions have been paused. Governments from around the world have enacted various measures to slow the spread and contain COVID-19. These measures include orders to close all business deemed “non-essential”, isolate residents to their homes and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. The Company anticipates that these actions and the global health crisis caused by this pandemic will negatively impact business activity across the globe. It is not clear what the potential effects, if any, that such alterations or modifications we have on our business, financial condition and cash flows. The duration of these measures is also unknown and may be extended with additional imposed measures.

Note 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our year-end is October 31.

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on us.

The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA or the SEC would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements for the three months to January 31, 2021.

Mineral Properties

The Company will expense mineral property exploration expenditures when incurred.  When it has established that a mineral deposit is commercially mineable and following a decision to commence development, the costs subsequently incurred to develop a mine on the property prior to the start of mining operations are capitalized and will be amortized against production following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. Option payments and expenditures required to earn an interest in the properties are capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Stock-based compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting", an update that expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This guidance was adopted by Venture Vanadium Inc. for the financial year ended October 31, 2020. There was no material effect on the financial statements as a result of this adoption.

Revenue Recognition 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASC 606 adoption is on February 1, 2018. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Specifically, Section 606-10-50 requires an entity to provide information about: a. Revenue recognized from contracts with customers, including the disaggregation of revenue into appropriate categories; b. Contract balances, including the opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities; c. Performance obligations, including when the entity typically

9

satisfies its performance obligations and the transaction price that is allocated to the remaining performance obligations in a contract; d. Significant judgments, and changes in judgments, made in applying the requirements to those contracts.

Note 5 – RELATED PARTY LOANS

Related Party Loans are not covered by a formal loan agreement and are interest free with no fixed repayment date. They are due to Ian Ilsley, the company’s sole director and controlling shareholder, and were made following the change of control on May 29, 2019.

Note 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10), we have analyzed our operations subsequent to January 31, 2021 to the date these financial statements were issued and have determined that we do not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

Note 7 – MINERAL PROPERTIES

On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement to acquire exploration rights over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrobois Vanadium/Titanium Property) representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec.

Under the terms of the assignment agreement, we issued 50,000 shares to Ian Ilsley on June 21, 2019 and a further 50,000 shares ninety days thereafter in consideration for him having entered into the assignment agreement.

Under the terms of the option agreement, payments totaling $65,000 were made to the Optionor and 1,150,000 shares were issued to the Optionor. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into the Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement whereby certain terms of the original agreement were amended.  Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer the titles in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, the receipt from the Company of 1,000,000 shares and a two per cent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the property. These transactions were reflected in the accounts to January 31, 2020. This transaction is reflected in the financial statements to January 31, 2020 and have been capitalized in accordance with the company’s accounting policy noted in note 2 above.

Whilst the company’s development of its assets has been seriously curtailed during the past year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company does not believe that there has been any impairment to its exploration licences. The results of the work program to date are encouraging. Furthermore, industry experts believe that vanadium prices are at the bottom of the cycle, with the upward price trend being driven by demand from China. It should be noted that there is the possibility that this assessment could change in the near future.

Note 8 – INCOME/(LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted income (loss) per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. As of January 31, 2021 and 2020 there were no outstanding warrants or options.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

		For the three months ended   January 31,
		2021				2020
Earnings per share – Basic and Diluted
Income (Loss) for the period		$	(10,469)			$	(86,661)
Basic average common stock outstanding - Basic and Diluted			56,047,470				55,701,818
Net earnings per share – Basic and Diluted		$	(0.00)			$	(0.00)

 

 

Note 9 - RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

We have 75,000,000, $0.001 par value shares of common stock authorized.

 

In June 2019, we issued 1,100,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share to the Optionor under the terms of the option agreement to acquire exploration rights over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrosbois Property) as modified.

 

In June 2019, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share to a director under the terms of the assignment of the option agreement to acquire exploration rights over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrosbois Property).

 

In October 2019, we issued 162,272 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $100,000 at approximately $0.61625 per share.

 

In October 2019, we issued 205,198 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $150,000 at approximately $0.731 per share.

 

In October 2019, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 to a senior geologist under the terms of his consultancy agreement entered into on January 1, 2019 with us.

 

In October 2019, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 to a director under the terms of the assignment of the option agreement to acquire exploration rights over 30 mineral claims (The Desgrosbois Property).

 

In November 2019, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of the titles in the Desgrosbois Property.

 

In January 2020, the company issued 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.05 to a senior geologist under the terms of his consultancy agreement entered into on October 1, 2019 with us. The total value of the shares issued based on their trading value at the grant date was $105,000.

As at January 31, 2021, there were 150,000 shares to be issued to a senior consultant at a price of $0.80 per share for a total value of $120,000 based on their trading value at the grant date. There have been no further issuances of shares to consultants. It is intended that these will re-commence once the travel restrictions implemented as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have been lifted and the consultants are again able to fulfill their duties per their consultancy agreements.

Note 10 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as set forth below, there are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates (any owners of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities) is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

On March 16, 2021, certain parties purportedly representing Veljko Ilić, a natural person, and Envision Corp., a Florida corporation, filed “Definitive Additional Materials” on Schedule 14A on Edgar summarizing their claims and position with respect to a transaction that such parties may have previously contemplated to potentially consummate with Ian Ilsley, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, sole director and controlling stockholder, pursuant to a certain Letter of Intent, dated on or about October 1, 2020, that such parties purportedly entered into with Mr. Ilsley. We do not believe that any such agreement was binding or valid, and in any way even if it was binding or valid, which it was not, such letter of intent ceased to be effective as a result of inaction by the parties thereto and in any respect by one or both parties electing not to proceed with the transaction contemplated by such letter of intent in a timely manner. Pursuant to such letter of intent, either party could terminate the letter of intent at any time for any reason or no reason. We believe such letter of intent was terminated in early 2021, and Mr. Ilsley provided an additional notice of termination of such transaction to such parties in March 2021. We have no intention to negotiate or proceed with any transaction with such parties.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this report includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report for the year ended October 31, 2020 for a discussion of some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q” or “Quarterly Report”) that are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "approximate" or "continue," or the negative thereof. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Financial information contained in this quarterly report and in our unaudited interim financial statements is stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Corporate History

Venture Vanadium Inc., formerly known as Aura Energy Inc. and as Arcom (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 26, 2016. Venture Vanadium Inc. has only one officer and director who is Ian Ilsley. We were engaged in the production of wood-manufactured bow ties in China, Hunan Province. This activity has now ceased.

On February 1, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 12-for-1 forward split which increased the number of outstanding shares of common stock from 4,440,000 to 53,280,000 as of such date.  Unless otherwise stated, share amounts presented in this Quarterly Report are reported on a post-split basis.

On June 12, 2019, we entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Ian Ilsley to assign his rights and obligations under an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) to us with Mr. Fayz Yacoub (the “Optionor”) where the Optionor agreed to grant an exclusive option to acquire an undivided one hundred percent (100%) interest in and to 30 mineral claims in property representing 1,789.80 hectares (4,422.69 acres) situated in Quebec, Canada (the “Desgrosbois Property”).

Under the terms of the Assignment Agreement, we issued 50,000 shares to Ian Ilsley on June 21, 2019 and a further 50,000 shares ninety days thereafter in consideration for his having entered into the Assignment Agreement.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, payments totaling $65,000 were made to the Optionor and 1,150,000 shares were issued to the Optionor. On November 22, 2019, Mr. Ilsley, Venture Vanadium Inc. and Mr. Yacoub entered into an Amended and Restated Desgrosbois Option Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) whereby certain terms of the Option Agreement were amended.  Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, Mr. Yacoub agreed to transfer title to the Desgrosbois Property to us in exchange for a $70,000 cash payment, issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a two-percent (2.0%) Net Smelter Return on all metals extracted from the Desgrosbois Property. These transactions are reflected in the accounts through January 31, 2021.

Research and Development Expenditures

We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.

Bankruptcy or Similar Proceedings

There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding entered into either voluntarily by us and involuntarily against us.

  

Reorganizations, Purchase or Sale of Assets

  

There have been no reorganizations, or purchase or sale of assets during the period of this Quarterly Report.

Compliance with Government Regulation

  

We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the construction and operation of any facility in any jurisdiction which we would conduct activities.

Employees and Employment Agreements

  

We have no employees, except our sole officer and director Ian Ilsley, as of the date of this report. We have no employment agreement with Mr. Ilsley. Our sole officer and director, Ian Ilsley, currently devotes approximately 30 hours per week to company matters. As our business and operations increase, we will assess the need for full-time management and administrative support personnel.

  

Legal Proceedings

  

Except as set forth below, there are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates (any owners of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities) is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

On March 16, 2021, certain parties purportedly representing Veljko Ilić, a natural person, and Envision Corp., a Florida corporation, filed “Definitive Additional Materials” on Schedule 14A on Edgar summarizing their claims and position with respect to a transaction that such parties may have previously contemplated to potentially consummate with Ian Ilsley, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, sole director and controlling stockholder, pursuant to a certain Letter of Intent, dated on or about October 1, 2020, that such parties purportedly entered into with Mr. Ilsley. We do not believe that any such agreement was binding or valid, and in any way even if it was binding or valid, which it was not, such letter of intent ceased to be effective as a result of inaction by the parties thereto and in any respect by one or both parties electing not to proceed with the transaction contemplated by such letter of intent in a timely manner. Pursuant to such letter of intent, either party could terminate the letter of intent at any time for any reason or no reason. We believe such letter of intent was terminated in early 2021, and Mr. Ilsley provided an additional notice of termination of such transaction to such parties in March 2021. We have no intention to negotiate or proceed with any transaction with such parties.

Results of Operations

We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other avenues, the sale of equity or debt securities.

Revenue and cost of goods sold

For the three months ended January 31, 2021, we reported no revenue.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the three-month period ended January 31, 2021, were $10,469 and the total operating expenses for the three-month period ended January 31, 2020, were $86,661. The operating expenses for the three-month period ended January 31, 2021 included audit fees of $7,500; rent expense of $1,948; regulatory filing fees of $1,000; and sundry general and administrative expenses of $21. The reduction in operating expenses reflects the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on our operations.

Net Loss

The net loss for the three-month period ended January 31, 2021, was $10,469 and the net loss for the three-month period ended January 31, 2020, was $86,661.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Financial Condition

As of January 31, 2021, our total assets were $1,030,050 compared to $1,030,071 as of October 31, 2020; reflecting the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on our operations.

As of January 31, 2021, our current liabilities were $146,113 and Stockholder’s Equity was $780,606.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2021, net cash flows used in operating activities was negative $21, compared with negative $67,207 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2020. The limited cash flows used in the three-month period ended January 31, 2021 reflects the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on our operations.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2021, we did not use any cash in investing activities. In the three month period to January 31, 2020, we used $105,000 in investing activities.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2021, we did not use any cash in financing activities, for the three-month period ended January 31, 2020 we used $5,000 in in financing activities. These were in connection with changes in related party loans.

Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

  

·      

Have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

·        

Provide an auditor attestation with respect to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;

·        

Comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

·        

Submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

·        

Disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.

  

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

  

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is

14

held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period. However, even if we no longer qualify for the exemptions for an emerging growth company, we may still be, in certain circumstances, subject to scaled disclosure requirements as a smaller reporting company. For example, smaller reporting companies, like emerging growth companies, are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or the auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.

Our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 and we anticipate that they will issue another going concern opinion in connection with this fiscal year. This means that there is doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

  

We have no 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.

  

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Inherent limitations to any system of disclosure controls and procedures include, but are not limited to, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of such controls by one or more persons. In addition, we have designed our system of controls based on certain assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, about the likelihood of future events, and our system of controls may therefore not achieve its desired objectives under all possible future events.

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CEO and CFO Certifications

 

Exhibit 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report are the Certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. These certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 9A. of this Quarterly Report, which you are currently reading, is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to above and in the Section 302 Certifications, and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Except as set forth below, there are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

On March 16, 2021, certain parties purportedly representing Veljko Ilić, a natural person, and Envision Corp., a Florida corporation, filed “Definitive Additional Materials” on Schedule 14A on Edgar summarizing their claims and position with respect to a transaction that such parties may have previously contemplated to potentially consummate with Ian Ilsley, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, sole director and controlling stockholder, pursuant to a certain Letter of Intent, dated on or about October 1, 2020, that such parties purportedly entered into with Mr. Ilsley. We do not believe that any such agreement was binding or valid, and in any way even if it was binding or valid, which it was not, such letter of intent ceased to be effective as a result of inaction by the parties thereto and in any respect by one or both parties electing not to proceed with the transaction contemplated by such letter of intent in a timely manner. Pursuant to such letter of intent, either party could terminate the letter of intent at any time for any reason or no reason. We believe such letter of intent was terminated in early 2021, and Mr. Ilsley provided an additional notice of termination of such transaction to such parties in March 2021. We have no intention to negotiate or proceed with any transaction with such parties.

ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2021. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

ITEM 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuance of Unregistered Securities

None.

ITEM 3.	DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None

ITEM 4.	MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE

Not applicable

ITEM 5.	OTHER INFORMATION

On January 29, 2021, we entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with certain third parties (the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Buyers may elect to purchase the shares of our common stock held by Ian Ilsley, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, sole director and controlling stockholder, and certain other shareholders of our Company (collectively, the “Sellers”) constituting 77.12% of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The LOI shall not constitute a binding agreement and no binding agreement shall exist until such time as the Sellers and the Buyers execute one or more definitive agreements with respect to the applicable portion of the Shares with legally enforceable obligations with respect to the Acquisition. While we intend to consummate this transaction, there are no assurances that we will be able to do so on the terms contemplated by the parties or at all, and the Buyers may abandon the transaction at any time for any reason or no reason.
