Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc.
Condensed Consolidated Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS
Golden Ally Lifetech Group Inc. (“Golden Ally” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 1, 2020, and operates out of Austin, Texas.
Golden Ally is a start-up focusing on a unique product offering. Golden Ally’s 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, as a result, the prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted from the earliest presented period. Under the SPA, the Controlling Shareholders of Signet agreed to sell to the Company their capital stock of the Company, consisting of shares of Series A Convertible Super Preferred Stock (convertible into common shares) and common shares for $ in cash.
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, 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 financial statements, Golden Ally had a net loss of $2,427,579 and used net cash in operations of $665,138 for the three months ending March 31, 2023. Golden Ally has an accumulated deficit of $8,556,736 as of March 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company 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 attempt 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, however, there can be no assurance of such capital will be available on reasonable terms, or at all.
Management has held preliminary discussions with potential investors to secure significant capital for Golden Ally in 2023. Management is optimistic that the diversified options for financing available to Golden Ally in 2023, along with support from significant shareholders, will allow the Company to achieve its objectives and satisfy its capital requirements.
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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
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, 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:
● | Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc., through their ownership of the Convertible Series A Preferred stock and Common Stock, has a 77% of the voting interest; | |
● | Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc., selected all of the new board of directors of Signet; | |
● | Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc., senior management is the senior management of Signet; and | |
● | Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc., is the larger entity based on historical operating activity. |
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 March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, Golden Ally had cash of $191,041 and $581,965, respectively.
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.
Deferred Income Tax and Valuation Allowance
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
8 |
Research and Development (“R&D”)
R&D expenses consist primarily of costs related to product development, personnel expenses, and other R&D expenses. Product development relates to the Company’s creation and development of consumer product. Personnel expenses relate primarily to salaries and benefits. R&D expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
Loans receivable
Loans receivable due from related parties are stated at historical cost and reviewed periodically for collectability.
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.

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.

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. These statements may relate to, among other things, our ability to implement and fund our business plan; expectations for our financial results, revenue, operating expenses and other financial measures in future periods; and the adequacy of our sources of liquidity to satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other liquidity requirements.
April 2022 Reverse Merger (Purchase)
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”) Bottled 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 theory of aquaporins into its commercialized products, i.e., the AQP Bottled Water.
AQP Bottled 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. All AQP Bottled Water products are expected to be produced through OEM arrangements and their distribution logistics will also be supported by the OEM partners.
AQP Bottled Water is an epoch-making product. 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 Bottled 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 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 Bottled 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 March 31, 2023, the Company continued taking steps to implement its business plan, including taking actions under various agreements related to the production, marketing and distribution of its products, including under a Supplier Agreement with Taucoin Asset Management, LLC and a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Taucoin Asset Management, 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, 2022, 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 March 31, 2023, we have incurred a cumulative deficit of $8,556,736. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, Golden Ally received $5,042,000 for stock subscriptions receivable related to its Common Stock. We expect to require further outside sources of liquidity 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 months ended March 31, 2023, we did not generate any revenue.
