NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2023

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Duesenberg Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on August 4, 2010. On April 15, 2011, the Company changed its place of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s common shares trade on the OTC Markets inter-dealer quotation system under the ticker symbol DUSYF.

As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

Name	Incorporation	Incorporation Date
Duesenberg Malaysia Sdn Bhd.	Malaysia Companies Act 2016	May 17, 2018
Duesenberg Technologies Evolution Ltd	Companies Ordinance, Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong	February 18, 2019
Duesenberg Inc.	Nevada, USA	November 1, 2019
Duesenberg Heritage LLC	Nevada, USA	May 21, 2021

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 17, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with those financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended April 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2023.

Going Concern

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with GAAP which contemplate the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. To date the Company has accumulated losses of $12,092,607 since inception. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. To date the Company has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financing. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue its operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of its assets, and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon its ability to raise new capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately on generating profitable operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. On consolidation, all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.

F-5

Intangible Assets

The Company classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization, (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization and (3) goodwill. The Company determines the useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors considered when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement related to the asset, the historical performance of the asset, the Company's long-term strategy for using the asset, any laws or other local regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset, and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized, primarily on a straight-line basis, over their useful lives, generally ranging from 1 to 20 years.

When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value by preparing estimates of sales volume and the resulting profit and cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. These estimated future cash flows are consistent with those we use in our internal planning. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount, we recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value. The Company uses a variety of methodologies to determine the fair value of these assets, including discounted cash flow models, which are consistent with the assumptions management believes hypothetical marketplace participants would use.

As at April 30, 2023, the Company determined that the License acquired from Brightcliff Limited (“Brightcliff”) (Note 9) qualified as an intangible asset with definitive life subject to amortization.

On March 2, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Brightcliff, a company of which Mr. Lim is major shareholder and director of. The Agreement gave the Company a right to use Duesenberg’s logo and trademark (the “Licensed Trademarks”) in designing, developing, and manufacturing electric vehicles as well as various associated merchandise with the Licensed Trademarks for 20 years. As consideration for the license, the Company agreed to a $5,000,000 fee (the “Licensing Fee”), payable in cash or common shares issued at $0.16875. In addition, the Company agreed to a 3% royalty payable on gross revenue from sales of the trademarked products (Note 9).

On April 5, 2023, the Company issued 14,814,815 Shares as payment for the 50% of the Licensing Fee.

General

You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We were incorporated on August 4, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “SOS Link Corporation”. On April 15, 2011, we changed our place of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia, Canada and concurrently changed our name to Venza Gold Corp. On January 6, 2014, we changed our name to CoreComm Solutions Inc., on February 11, 2015, we changed our name to VGrab Communications Inc., and on December 23, 2020, we changed our name to Duesenberg Technologies Inc.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we have the following subsidiaries:

Name	Incorporation	Incorporation Date
Duesenberg Malaysia Sdn Bhd.	Malaysia Companies Act 2016	May 17, 2018
Duesenberg Technologies Evolution Ltd	Companies Ordinance, Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong	February 18, 2019
Duesenberg Inc.	Nevada, USA	November 1, 2019
Duesenberg Heritage LLC	Nevada, USA	May 21, 2021

On May 17, 2018, we incorporated Duesenberg Technologies Malaysia Sdn Bhd., (“Duesenberg Malaysia”), under the Malaysia Companies Act 2016. The main business objective of Duesenberg Malaysia is to facilitate and source New Green Energies, such as electric, hydrogen and solar. In addition, Duesenberg Malaysia continues to maintain the developed online e-commerce. Since its incorporation, Duesenberg Malaysia has been working on the development of its SMART System prototype. Duesenberg’s SMART System will consist of several modules, including Duesenberg Membership system, which will allow its users to sign up for service/maintenance of Duesenberg vehicles, purchase Duesenberg merchandize, book high-end villas/planes/yachts, via internet or quick response code, also known as “QR Code”, Duesenberg Cloud Management System (“DCMS”), and Duesenberg Database Management System (“DDMS”). DCMS and DDMS form the backbone of Duesenberg’s SMART System, allowing to integrate each future developed Duesenberg SMART System’s module into the platform. The Company is currently testing the Duesenberg SMART System’s functionality before integrating it as part of the Duesenberg’s New Energy Vehicle operating system, or marketing it to potential clients as a stand-along system.

On February 18, 2019, we formed another subsidiary, Duesenberg Technologies Evolution Ltd (“Duesenberg Evolution”). The main business objective of Duesenberg Evolution is to research new technologies and software integration development techniques and establish connections with potential strategic partners in the Asian region and in P.R. China. In addition, Duesenberg Evolution is to position itself as commodities trader to capture the current market trends in P.R. China.

On August 14, 2019, Duesenberg Evolution finalized a development of a mobile software application, Duesenberg WeChat Application, which was developed to be used with smartphones in P.R. China using the WeChat on Android and Apple iOS operating systems. Duesenberg WeChat Application allows its users to sign up for memberships, deposit money, purchase products, redeem vouchers, and upload media promotions onto the smartphones.

In March of 2020 we completed development of the prototype Duesenberg vending machine (the “Vending Machine”) and were attempting to organize the first test run before starting a large-scale production and commercialization of the Vending Machines. Prior to COVID-19 measures, we were expecting to have the first prototype of the Vending Machine installed and operational at a local university by the end of April with further units to be placed across the university’s campus and other universities across Malaysia. However, due to COVID-19 measures, we were required to postpone the roll-out until the restrictions set to prevent the spread of virus were lifted and businesses were allowed to resume their normal operations.

The newly developed Vending Machine is customizable to sell variety of consumer products ranging from traditional snacks, soft drinks, and coffee, to prepaid mobile cards and other goods, while simultaneously displaying advertisements and other various promotional content. Each Vending Machine is based on the operating system developed by us, and is supplied with a credit card reader and a QR Code reader, which facilitate not only payments with credit cards, but also enables payments via eWallet and other membership-based payments. Due to the Company’s current focus on development of New Energy and Heritage Vehicles, we have temporarily stopped our development and marketing of the Vending Machine.

On November 1, 2019, we incorporated Duesenberg Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Duesenberg Nevada”). The purpose of Duesenberg Nevada is to undertake the development of Electric Vehicles (“Duesenberg EV”) using the Duesenberg brand. We were given the rights to use the Duesenberg trademark name in 2018. In order to develop the Duesenberg

EV we are planning to partner with 3-rd party developers and suppliers in the United States of America. We plan on using our Duesenberg SMART System as part of the Duesenberg EV’s operating system.

On January 8, 2021, Duesenberg Nevada signed an agreement with Rocket Supreme, the Barcelona, Spain automotive design house established by Christopher Reitz. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received initial ergonomics exterior and interior data sheets and CAS IGES files as well as the initial drafts of the exterior and interior designs for the Duesenberg EV. We expect the final design of the first Duesenberg EV to be released in mid to late 2023. Based on the initial drafts, we commenced negotiations with various manufacturers required to continue the development and manufacturing of the required components for the Duesenberg’s EV. Majority of current work is being outsourced to Hampshire Automotive Sdn Bhd (“Hampshire Automotive”), an entity related to the Company, who has already established necessary connections with suppliers and other manufacturers required for manufacturing of the Heritage Vehicles.

On May 21, 2021, we formed Duesenberg Heritage LLC. under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Duesenberg Heritage”). Duesenberg Heritage’s operations will be focused on reproducing very limited Duesenberg heritage vehicles, the Duesenberg Model J and Boat Tail series, which were originally manufactured in the 1920s and 1930s. The Company is currently in the initial stage of its prototype development and expects that the pre-production of the heritage vehicles from that era (as well as possibly converting them to electrical models) will commence during Fiscal 2023. The pre-production process is expected to be time consuming and will require highly specialized and skilled tradesman. In order to facilitate this, the management is actively looking to engage or hire qualified consultants, and for the ways to finance the process.

In order to support the development and future production of Duesenberg EV or New Energy Vehicles (“NEV”) as well as Duesenberg Heritage vehicles, we will require significant financing. During the year ended October 31, 2022, we closed two private placement financings by issuing a total of 11,113,152 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) for gross proceeds of $1,567,184. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, we raised an additional $50,000 through a private placement financing which closed on February 17, 2023. The Shares were issued pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) to the persons who are not residents of the United States and are otherwise not “U.S. Persons” as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S of the Act. In addition, we borrowed $14,556 in exchange for 8% notes payable due on demand, and $29,567 from our CEO in exchange for 4% notes payable due on demand. The funds we have raised in the above financings are not sufficient to bring our Duesenberg EV and Duesenberg Heritage vehicle production plans to completion, and we will require additional funding. We cannot assure the reader that we will be successful in securing the further funding as required.

Other notable expenses included $36,000 in management fees, as compared to $84,000 we incurred during the six-month period ended April 30, 2022.

Our general and administrative expenses increased by $5,263, or 11% from $46,338 we incurred during the period ended April 30, 2022, to $51,601 we incurred for the six-month period ended April 30, 2023; general and administrative expenses included corporate communication fees of $914 (2022 - $18,522) and administrative fees of $22,194 (2022 - $23,687). Our corporate communication fees decreased as a result of shortage of funding and with our decision to concentrate the funds that we had available on research and development as opposed to increasing the shareholder awareness of our Company. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, we recorded $35,995 in amortization expense (2022 - $665), of which $35,445 (2022 - $Nil) were associated with amortization of our Licensed Trademarks, which are being amortized over a 20-year period based on a straight line.

Other Items

During the three months ended April 30, 2023, we recorded $2,660 (2022 - $1,418) in interest expense and $26,696 in realized foreign exchange gain (2022 - $12,978) associated with the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies.

During the six months ended April 30, 2023, we recorded $5,107 (2022 - $2,866) in interest expense and $23,410 in realized foreign exchange gain (2022 - $10,836) associated with the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies. In addition, we recorded $341,188 loss on debt settlement, associated with conversion of $31,267 we owed to our debt holders on account of notes payable which accumulated interest at 4% per annum and were due on demand, and conversion of $265,674 we owed to our CSO, Brendan Norman for a total of 2,699,463 Shares valued at $645,171. The debt was converted at $0.11 per share at the time when our shares traded at $0.239, resulting in $348,231 loss on conversion of debt. This loss was in part offset by forgiveness of $7,042 we owed to one of our vendors. We did not have similar transactions during the six-month period ended April 30, 2022.

Translation to Reporting Currency

Changes in translation to reporting currency result from differences between our functional currencies, being the Canadian dollar for the parent Company, Malaysian Ringgit for Duesenberg Malaysia, and Hong Kong Dollar for Duesenberg Evolution, and our reporting currency, being the United States dollar. These differences are caused by

fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between the four currencies as well as different accounting treatments between various financial instruments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

GOING CONCERN

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We have generated only minimal revenue from operations since inception, have never paid any dividends and are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders and management, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.

Based upon our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. At April 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $3,659,988 and accumulated losses of $12,092,607 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future. The consolidated financial statements included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Therefore, we may be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.

Working Capital Deficit

	At April 30, 2023		At October 31, 2022
Current assets	$	27,210	$	286,892
Current liabilities		(3,687,198)		(1,377,292)
Working capital deficit	$	(3,659,988)	$	(1,090,400)

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, our working capital deficit increased by $2,569,588, from $1,090,400 as at October 31, 2022, to $3,659,988 as at April 30, 2023. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily related to an increase in our current liabilities of $2,309,906. This change was associated with a $2,288,272 increase in amounts payable to our related parties, mainly on account of unpaid license fee contemplated under the license agreement with Brightcliff. This increase was further amplified by increased accounts payable of $62,672, which were in part associated with the amount we owed for the audit of our financial statements. These increases were in part offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities of $12,548, to $16,222 as compared to $28,770 as at October 31, 2022, and a decrease in notes payable of $28,490 to $76,794, as compared to $105,284 as at October 31, 2022, as during the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, we converted $31,267 in outstanding notes payable into 284,241 Shares.

Our current assets decreased by $259,682 from $286,892 at October 31, 2022, to $27,210 at April 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly associated with decreased cash balance of $13,138, as compared to $253,002 we had on October 31, 2022, with decreased amounts receivable, which at April 30, 2023, totaled $843, as compared to $1,182 we recorded as receivable at October 31, 2022, and with decreased prepaids of $13,229, as compared to $32,708 as at October 31, 2022.

Cash Flows

	2023		2022
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(309,628)	$	(487,414)

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		585		(1,042)

Net cash used in operating activities

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, we used $309,628 to support our operating activities. This cash was used to cover our cash operating expenses of $413,772, determined as net loss of $778,286 decreased by non-cash transactions totaling $364,514, and to decrease amounts due to our related parties by $20,078. These uses of cash were offset by $63,694 increase in accrued salaries due to our related parties, decrease in our prepaids and amounts receivable of $19,587 and $343, respectively, and by an increase in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $40,598.

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2022, we used $487,414 to support our operating activities. This cash was used to cover our cash operating expenses of $696,580, to increase our receivables and prepaid expenses by $12,433 and $7,315, respectively, and to reduce amounts due to our related parties by $10,651. These uses of cash were offset by increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $16,513, and an increase to accrued salaries and management fees payable to our management team of $223,052.

Non-cash operating activities

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, we recorded $2,399 in accrued interest on the notes payable, $2,398 in accrued interest on the note payable issued to Mr. Lim, and $17,466 in foreign exchange fluctuation between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies. In addition, we recorded $35,995 in amortization expense, of which $35,445 were associated with amortization of our Licensed Trademarks and $550 were associated with amortization of our office equipment, and $341,188 we recognized as loss on debt settlement.

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2022, we recorded $2,866 in interest on the notes payable, $665 in amortization of our office equipment, and $12,725 in foreign exchange fluctuation between the US, Canadian, Malaysian, and Hong Kong currencies. In addition, we recognized $48,000 on grant of 240,000 Shares to Mr. Chee Wai Hong and to Mr. Barth (120,000 each), which were recorded as part of management fees.

Net cash provided by financing activities

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2023, we closed a private placement financing with Mr. Brendan Norman by issuing 333,333 Shares at $0.15 per Share for gross proceeds of $50,000. During the same period we borrowed $19,179 from our CEO, Mr. Lim, in exchange for unsecured promissory notes accruing interest at 4% per month compounded monthly and due on demand.

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2022, we closed a private placement financing by issuing 2,511,962 Shares at $0.20 per Share for gross proceeds of $502,393. During the same period, Mr. Lim advanced to us $20,550 in the form of vendor payments made by him on our behalf. Mr Lim agreed to convert the full amount we owed to him on account of these vendor payments to shares of our common stock at $0.20 per share, which were issued on February 24, 2022.

Capital Resources

Our ability to continue the development and marketing of the Duesenberg Applications, SMART Systems, Duesenberg WeChat Application, as well as Duesenberg EV and Duesenberg Heritage vehicles, is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding. We expect to raise funds through sales of our debt or equity securities. We have no committed sources of capital. If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

As of April 30, 2023, we had cash on hand of $13,138 and working capital deficit of $3,659,988, which raises substantial doubt about our continuation as a going concern. We plan to mitigate our losses in future years by controlling our operating expenses and actively seeking new distribution channels for our Duesenberg products, Duesenberg EV, and Duesenberg Heritage Vehicles. We cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in generating additional capital to support our development. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022. The following accounting policies have been determined by our management to be the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation:

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. On consolidation, the Company eliminates all intercompany balances and transactions.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction

The Parent Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, Duesenberg Malaysia’s functional currency is Malaysian Ringgit, and Duesenberg Evolution’s functional currency is Hong Kong dollar. Duesenberg Nevada and Duesenberg Heritage functional currency is the United States dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The Company translates assets and liabilities to US dollars using period-end exchange rates, and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses arising on translation to the reporting currency are included in the other comprehensive income.

Foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in foreign exchange expense. Except for translations of intercompany balances, all translations of monetary balances to the functional currency at the period-end exchange rates are included in foreign exchange expense. The translations of intercompany balances to the functional currency at the period-end exchange rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals as well as notes payable and amounts due to related parties. We believe the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and amounts receivable.

At April 30, 2023, we had $2,748 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank, $10,135 in cash on deposit with a bank in Malaysia, and $255 in cash on deposit with a bank in Hong Kong. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.

Intangible Assets

We classify intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization, (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization and (3) goodwill. We determine the useful lives of our identifiable intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors we consider when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement related to the asset, the historical performance of the asset, the Company's long-term strategy for using the asset, any laws or other local

regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset, and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized, primarily on a straight-line basis, over their useful lives, generally ranging from 1 to 20 years.

When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value by preparing estimates of sales volume and the resulting profit and cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. These estimated future cash flows are consistent with those we use in our internal planning. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount, we recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value. We use a variety of methodologies to determine the fair value of these assets, including discounted cash flow models, which are consistent with the assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use.

As at April 30, 2023, we determined that the License we acquired from Brightcliff Limited (“Brightcliff”) qualified as intangible asset with definite life subject to amortization.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to our current size and lack of segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended April 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Mr. Norman to issue 333,333 Shares at $0.15 per Share for total proceeds of $50,000. These shares were issued on February 17, 2023.

on March 2, 2023, share price discounted at 25% and in accordance with the letter from Brightcliff agreeing to the conversion price of $0.16875 per share.

The above Shares were issued pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) to the persons who certified they were not residents of the United States and were otherwise not “U.S. Persons” as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S of the Act.
