NOTE 1 – BUSINESS

Golden Ally Lifetech Group Inc. (“Golden Ally” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 1, 2020, and operates primarily out of Austin, Texas.

Golden Ally is a high-tech start-up focusing on a unique product offering. Golden Ally activities to date have focused on the development and exploration of water filtration technology and consumer products with Aquaporin (“AQP”) Active Water. Golden Ally has been working with field experts and research institutions to apply and explore the ability to enhance water filtration for improved body cell absorption in commercialized water products.

On April 6, 2022, Golden Ally closed on the Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (“SPA”) with Signet International Holdings, Inc. (“Signet”), a Delaware corporation formed on February 2, 2005, and the Signet controlling shareholders. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by Signet of Golden Ally is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent to the acquisition by Golden Ally of Signet with the issuance of stock by Golden Ally for the net assets of Signet. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse merger accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of Signet, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Golden Ally. Accordingly, Golden Ally’s financial statements prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, reflect only the business of Golden Ally. Under the SPA, the controlling shareholders of Signet exchanged their capital stock of the Company, consisting of 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Super Preferred Stock (convertible into 50,000,000 common shares), 4,474,080 common shares, and $373,350‎ of cash for all the shares of Golden Ally.

In March 2022 Signet’s Board of Directors approved, among other things, an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, subject to stockholder approval. Stockholder approval was obtained through written consent. Upon approval of all regulating authorities, on July 8, 2022, Signet’s name was changed from “Signet International Holdings, Inc.” to “Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc.”

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes Golden Ally will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Golden Ally has not yet established a source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, Golden Ally had a net loss of $3,548,138 and used net cash in operations of $3,747,918 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Golden Ally has an accumulated deficit of $3,605,708 as of June 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of Signet to continue as a going concern.

In order to continue as a going concern, Golden Ally will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for Golden Ally by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing.

Management has held preliminary discussions with potential investors to secure significant capital for Golden Ally in 2022. Management believes that the diversified options for financing available to Golden Ally in 2022, along with support from significant shareholders, will allow it to achieve its objectives and satisfy its capital requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully secure outside financing on reasonable terms, or at all.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Golden Ally be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by GAAP in annual financial statements have been omitted or condensed and these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Signet’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022. These condensed financial statements of Golden Ally include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the Golden Ally’s financial position as of June 30, 2022, and results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. There have been no significant changes in the Golden Ally’s accounting policies from those described in the Golden Ally’s audited financial statements and the related notes to those statements.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Business Combination was accounted for as a recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under this method of accounting, of Signet International Holdings, Inc., was treated as the acquired company and Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc., was treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes.

Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc. was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for continued reasonableness. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Golden Ally considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, Golden Ally had cash of $2,914,914 and $2,999,370.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Golden Ally maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Golden Ally continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in its accounts. Management believes Golden Ally is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Loss per Share

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Golden Ally had no dilutive instruments outstanding during the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Golden Ally has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and Golden Ally does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations

NOTE 4 – PREPAID EXPENSE

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Golden Ally entered into an agreement for legal services and paid $750,000 as a retainer to the legal service provider. As of June 30, 2022, $522,983 of the retainer was expensed and the $227,017 was recorded as a prepaid expense.

NOTE 5 – LOAN RECEIVABLE – RELATED PARTY

The Company has accounted for the lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Upon commencement of the lease, the Company recorded a right of use asset and lease liability for $138,210. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $5,759 in amortization, $1,052 in interest expense and made payments of $6,300 on the lease liability. As at June 30, 2022, the right of use asset was $132,451 and the lease lability was $132,962.

NOTE 7 – GOODWILL

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by Signet of Golden Ally is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent to the acquisition by Golden Ally of Signet with the issuance of stock by Golden Ally for the net assets of Signet. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse merger accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of Signet, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Golden Ally. As part of the agreement, Golden Ally exchanged 100% of its shares for 77% of Signet shares, representing a premium for the 23% of Signet stock not acquired. Golden Ally recorded $1,777,204 in Goodwill for the $1,403,854 value of shares not acquired and $373,350 cash paid.

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that discuss future events or expectations, projections of results of operations or financial condition, trends in our business, business prospects and strategies and other “forward-looking” information. In some cases, you can identify “forward-looking statements” by words like “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words.

April 2022 Reverse Merger (Purchase); Recent Developments

On February 28, 2022, Signet International Holdings, Inc. (“Signet”),‎ Estate of Ernest W. Letiziano, Ms. Hope Hillabrand, and Mr. Thomas Donaldson ‎‎(collectively, the “Controlling Shareholders”) and Golden Ally Lifetech Group Co., Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Golden Ally”) entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “SPA”).

Under the SPA, the Controlling Shareholders agreed to exchange their capital stock of Signet, consisting of 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Super Preferred Stock (convertible into 50,000,000 common shares), 4,474,080 common shares, and $375,000‎ cash for all the shares of Golden Ally (the “Purchase”).

The Purchase contemplated by the SPA was consummated on April 6, 2022. Immediately after the Closing, the former stockholders of Golden Ally Sub collectively hold beneficially and of record over 99% of the total issued and outstanding equity securities and voting power of Signet. The Purchase resulted in Golden Ally becoming a subsidiary of Signet and the shareholders of Golden Ally holding shares of Signet.

In March 2022 Signet’s Board of Directors approved, among other things, an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, subject to stockholder approval. Stockholder approval was obtained through written consent. On July 8, 2022, Golden Ally was merged with and into Signet and Signet’s name was from “Signet International Holdings, Inc.” to “Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc.” In this report references to “Golden Ally” or the “Company” refer to the operations and assets of the Company on a post-purchase basis.

Our Business

Golden Ally is focused on its Aquaporin (“AQP”) Active Water project, which is a derivative of an academic inspiration from the 2003 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, Dr. Peter Agre and Dr. Roderick MacKinnon jointly, “for discoveries concerning channels in cell membranes”. Golden Ally has been working closely with experienced field experts and top scientific research institutions to apply the famous Nobel Prize theory of aquaporins into its commercialized products, i.e., the AQP Active Water.

AQP Active Water is the product of a unique water filtration technology derived from raw materials with exclusive access by Golden Ally. The advanced technology can enhance water filtration for better body cell absorption to improve health. All AQP Active Water products are expected to be produced through OEM arrangements and their distribution logistics will also be supported by the OEM partners.

AQP Active Water is an epoch-making product. Consumption for a prolonged period is foreseen to possibly extend human body cells’ lifespan. Golden Ally has been running laboratory tests on its products at the David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles.

High-income households are Golden Ally’s targeted consumers due to a strong correlation between income level and health spending. The global consumer pool for AQP Active Water is estimated at 17.61 million households. These households represent the portion that has an annual household income of over $150,000 USD, a level that can potentially support annual household spending on healthcare products.

Results of Operations

Overview

Golden Ally is a developmental stage company that is currently implementing its business plan, which is to be a high-tech start-up focused on a unique product offering. Our activities to date have focused on the development and exploration of water filtration technology and consumer products with AQP Active Water. We have been working with field experts and research institutions to apply and explore the ability to enhance water filtration for improved body cell absorption in commercialized water products. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company continued taking steps to implement its business plan, including negating various agreements related to the production, marketing and distribution of its products, including a Bottling Agreement with Azure Water Bottling of Florida, LLC.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

We have had limited operations and have been issued a “going concern” opinion by our auditor for the year ended December 31, 2021, based on our lack of an established source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2022, we have incurred a cumulative deficit of $3,605,708. There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our business operations.

Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in developing our products and market downturns.

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, Golden Ally received $5,042,000 for stock subscriptions receivable related to its Common Stock. We expect to require further investments and have no assurance that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to raise additional capital to maintain our operations in the future, we may be unable to carry out our business plans or we may be forced to cease operations.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes Golden Ally will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. No revenues have been generated to date and we expect limited revenues.

Results of Operations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not generate any revenue. Our operating expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 were $1,586,388 and $3,548,138, consisting primarily of professional fees and other expenses paid to develop and implement marketing strategies for its products. and wages and salaries for Company personnel. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 we incurred a loss from operations of $1,586,388 and $3,548,138. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 we did not have any operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital and Cash Flows. Golden Ally used cash flows of $3,747,918 for‎ operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

On January 3, 2022, Golden Ally entered into an agreement with a company owned by a related party, Taucoin Asset Management LLC, to develop and implement marketing strategies for its products. During the first six months of 2022, the Company paid a total of $1,800,000 on this agreement.

In July 2022, the Company paid a related party, Taucoin Asset Management LLC, additional amounts of $200,000 and $400,000 to develop and implement marketing strategies for Company products.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures in our financial statements. We had no critical accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2021, or for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

We have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are summarized in Note 3 to our financial statements. Although we believe that our estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
