PART I

Item 1. Business

Corporate History

Next Meats Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Turnkey Solutions, Inc., was incorporated on April 15, 2020 in the State of Nevada.

On April 15, 2020, Paul Moody was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of the Company, at the time known as “Turnkey Solutions, Inc.”

On October 1, 2020, the Company, at the time known as “Turnkey Solutions, Inc.” (the “Company” or “Successor”) announced on Form 8-K plans to participate in a holding company reorganization (“the Reorganization” or “Merger”) with Intermedia Marketing Solutions, Inc. (“IMMM” or “Predecessor”) and Intermedia Marketing Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) collectively (the “Constituent Corporations”) pursuant to NRS 92A.180, NRS A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250. Immediately prior to the Reorganization, the Company was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of Intermedia Marketing Solutions, Inc. and Intermedia Marketing Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The effective date and time of the Reorganization was October 28, 2020 at 4PM PST (the “Effective Time”). The entire plan of Merger is on file with Nevada Secretary of State (“NSOS”) and included in the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 Nevada Secretary of State (“NSOS”) and attached to and made a part thereof to the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 filed with NSOS on October 16, 2020. At the Effective Time, Predecessor merged with and into its indirect and wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub with Predecessor as the surviving corporation resulting in Predecessor as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Concurrently and after the Effective Time, the Company cancelled all of its stock held in Predecessor resulting in the Company as a stand-alone and separate entity with no subsidiaries, no assets and negligible liabilities. The assets and liabilities of Predecessor, if any, remained with Predecessor. The Company abandoned the business plan of its Predecessor and resumed its former business plan of a blank check company after completion of the Merger.

Full details pertaining to the Reorganization can be viewed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on October 29, 2020.

On November 18, 2020 our now former controlling shareholder, Flint Consulting Services, LLC sold 35,000,000 shares of common stock to Next Meats Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Next Meats Co., Ltd. is a Japanese Company that operates in the “alternative meat” industry. It currently offers, and plans to continue to offer, amongst other things, artificial chicken and beef products made from meat substitutes. As will be described later on, Next Meats Co., Ltd. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On November 18, 2020, Paul Moody resigned from his position of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.

Simultaneous to Paul Moody’s resignations, Ryo Shirai was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Hideyuki Sasaki as our Chief Operating Officer and Director, and Koichi Ishizuka as our Chief Financial Officer.

On January 8, 2021 our now former majority shareholder, Next Meats Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, along with our Board of Directors, took action to ratify, affirm, and approve a name change of the Company from Turnkey Solutions, Inc., to Next Meats Holdings, Inc. The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State (“NVSOS”) to enact the name change with an effective date of January 19, 2021. This was previously disclosed in the Form 8-K we filed on January 25, 2021.

Also on January 8, 2021, our now former majority shareholder Next Meats Co., Ltd., along with our Board of Directors took action to ratify, affirm, and approve a change of the Company’s ticker symbol from TKSI to NXMH.

Pursuant to the above, the Company carried out a FINRA corporate action. As a result of the aforementioned actions the Company’s CUSIP number was changed from 90043H102 to 65345L 100. The change in CUSIP, name change, and symbol change were posted on the FINRA daily list on January 25, 2021 with a market effective date of January 26, 2021.

On January 28, 2021, Next Meats Co., Ltd., along with our Board of Directors, took action to ratify, affirm, and approve the issuance of 452,352,298 shares of restricted common stock to Next Meats Co., Ltd. The shares were issued for services rendered to the Company.  

On June 9, 2021 the Company entered into a “Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement” (referred to herein as “the Agreement”) with Next Meats Co., Ltd., a Japan Company. Pursuant to the Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement, effective on December 16, 2021, Next Meats Holdings, Inc. acquired Next Meats Co., Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary. Commensurate with this action, there was a conversion of the Next Meats Holdings, Inc. percentile share interest in exchange for the Company’s 100% share interest in Next Meats Co., Ltd. Immediately prior to the effective time, each (now former) shareholder of Next Meats Co., Ltd. cancelled and exchanged their percentile share interest in Next Meats Co., Ltd. for an equivalent percentile share interest in Next Meats Holdings, Inc. at a pro rata percentage. As a result of the Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement, we now own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Next Meats Co., Ltd., which constitutes 1,000 shares of common stock.

We believe that the aforementioned transaction(s) relating to the Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement described above constituted a tax-free organization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. Full details of the Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement are contained within our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2021.

Following the acquisition of Next Meats Co., Ltd. on December 16, 2021, we ceased to be a shell company. Currently, and going forward, we intend to act as a holding company for our subsidiaries which develop and sell alternative meat products, created from various meat substitutes.

On December 28, 2021, Ryo Shirai resigned as our Chief Executive Officer and was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The resignation of Mr. Ryo Shirai, as Chief Executive Officer, was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.  

On December 28, 2021, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

On December 28, 2021 we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, resulting in an increase to our authorized shares of Common Stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.

Business Information

We share the same business plan as that of our subsidiaries and we also act as a holding company for our subsidiaries. Through Next Meats Co., Ltd., Next Meats USA, Inc., Next Meats HK Co. Limited, Next Meats (S) Pte. Ltd., and NextMeats France, we develop and sell alternative meat products, with ingredients derived from predominantly, plant based materials. For the purposes of the foregoing business plan, all references to “Next Meats”, Next Meats Co., Ltd.”, “NextMeats France”, “Next Meats USA”, “Next Meats HK”, “Next Meats (S) Pte. Ltd.”, or “the Company”, refer collectively to Next Meats Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted.

Our mission, or philosophy, is that “We Won’t Let Earth End”. Next Meats works to provide a solution to the climate crisis and food insecurity problems by distributing, what we believe to be, delicious alternative-meat products rooted in Japanese cuisine, worldwide. Next Meats is a food-tech venture founded in Tokyo, by people passionate about delivering a better future for our children. We strive to create tasty alternatives to your favorite dishes, without the same environmental impact of using meat. We believe in a more ecologically sustainable future for every person.

At present, our principal focus is on the creation of plant-based food products to replace traditional animal products, while retaining the taste and texture of the original.

At Next Meats, safety and quality are our top priorities. Many people imagine chemical additives when they hear the word “alternative meat”, but it is our intent to only use the minimum, necessary ingredients, and keep additives at a minimum or as a last option. We combine vegetable proteins such as soybeans and peas and mold them with heat and pressure to create a unique texture and flavor. We produce our products only in certified food factories. To ensure that our products are safe, we produce them in clean food factories certified by the Japan Food Safety Management Association (JFS), HALAL, etc., for thorough quality control. We are also exporting more and more of our products overseas as time progresses, and we believe part of the reason is that our products are highly valued for their quality and “Made in Japan” taste.

Below, pictured on the right, is the active production of one of several of our product offerings, NEXT Yakiniku, a meat alternative to skirt steak. Pictured on the left is our NEXT Yakiniku once cooked and prepared for consumption.

While we maintain rigorous safety and cleanliness standards for the factories that produce Next Meats products, it should be noted that we do not, at this time, directly manufacture any of our products. As a result of one of our collaborative agreements, the majority of our products are manufactured utilizing the facilities of Mama Foods Co., Ltd., while in other instances we use, and may continue to utilize, facilities of third party strategic partners to manufacture certain products (for example, the Next Patty is manufactured by one of these third parties). In the future, we may seek to manufacture our products internally, but at this time we have no plans to do so. We intend to maintain ongoing relationships and agreements with local manufacturers for as long as they remain certified by JFS, HALAL, etc. and meet our rigorous safety and cleanliness standards. From time to time we send out staff members into the facilities that manufacturer our products for ongoing inspections and observation.

Currently Available Products

The following list of products is not comprehensive, but it is a showcase of some of our most popular items:

- Free of artificial additives

- High in protein

- No Cholesterol

- Uses Non-GMO soy

- Low in saturated fat

The textures slightly vary but they both have a non-intrusive, lightly sweet and savory flavor which makes it extremely versatile. The NEXT Yakinikus are excellent grilled and "topped on rice" or in a stir fry, or in tacos, and in an endless possibility of dishes.

A full list of our currently available products can be viewed at: https://www.nextmeats.global/product

The vegetable protein for the Next Yakiniku is formed in a twin-screw extruder, then dried, boiled, fried, and seasoned. Finally, it is heat sterilized and frozen. The Next Burger and Next Gyudon and Next Chicken also use processed soy that comes out the extruder but they are cooked differently afterwards.

The main ingredient for all products is soybeans, and different varieties of soybeans and production areas are used for different products to give them varying textures and colors. The products are all sold frozen with the exception of the canned Next Gyudon, and they are all classified as “processed soy products”. In some stores, depending on the results of the bacteria count test, the product can be sold in the chilled zone in the fridge (5℃).

Other than the main ingredient, soybeans, the other part of the product is the seasoning, such as yakiniku sauce, beef bowl sauce, and herb seasoning for chicken.

The below is included to provide a visual of some our current product offerings detailed above.

Trademarks

We have obtained trademarks within Japan for the names of our existing products. Any proposed or future products are also trademarked, or will likely be trademarked, within Japan or are pending receipt of such trademark rights within Japan. In Taiwan we have also trademarked our ‘NEXT Yakiniku’ product. Additionally, our name, ‘Next Meats’ is trademarked in the United States, Japan, China, and Taiwan.

Future Products

Development of new products is ongoing, and in some instances may not be to the point where we can publicly announce our plans. We continually strive to create and sell new products, and we anticipate our product line will continue to expand and diversify in 2023 and the years to follow as our business expands and grows.

Distribution

At present, we distribute our products through several wholesale companies, while also selling directly through our website. The USA version of our website can be viewed at the following link: https://www.nextmeatsusa.com/. We have accounts with Kokubu and NIPPON ACCESS, two of the largest food wholesalers in Japan, and they distribute our products to restaurants and supermarkets throughout the country.

Table of Contents

We have been, or will be, distributing our products in various countries through the efforts of our subsidiaries. Namely, Next Meats USA, Inc., Next Meats HK Co. Limited, Next Meats (S) Pte. Ltd., and NextMeats France will spearhead distribution of our products in the United States, China, Singapore, and France respectively. These strategically incorporated subsidiaries will also allow us to create regional hubs in these countries, through which, in the future, we may launch further expansion efforts into surrounding countries.

As a result of our wholesale and distribution channels mentioned above, Next Meats products are widely distributed in supermarkets and restaurant chains as an alternative meat brand. Notably, several of our food products can be found in Wayback Burgers’ Japanese Restaurant locations. These Wayback Burgers locations are owned and controlled by WB Burgers Asia, Inc. Koichi Ishizuka is the sole officer, director, and controlling shareholder of WB Burgers Asia, Inc.

Below are some of the various supermarkets and restaurants (this is not a full list) that our products can be found in.

Additionally, in Taiwan and Vietnam there are individuals (they are not employees, but they are business associates of our officers and directors) who act as local distributors and sell our products to distributors/retailers in each country, respectively. In Vietnam and Taiwan, we sell the TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) from Japan and conduct the final processing of our products locally. Further, in both Vietnam and Taiwan, the final processing is done at partner factories. In the future, we plan to establish official subsidiaries for each of these countries and transfer business operations directly to them. To date, we have incorporated subsidiaries in Japan, the USA, Hong Kong, Singapore, and France, with future expansion efforts in development.

Pictured below is one of our scientists on staff developing and producing one of our various alternative meats products using the TVP method described above.

As part of our forward-looking plans, we are in the process of establishing additional global branches in China, India, Italy, Spain, and Russia.

Marketing Strategy

At present, our marketing plan is comprised of daily posts and releases through various social networking platforms, SNS messaging, and we have also appeared at events throughout Japan, distributed press releases, and attempted to have our company featured on various news media. Whenever we release a new product, we also release an official press release and/or we hold a press conference in Japan. We have also created a television commercial, which can be viewed on our website. The commercial was originally created in Japanese, and has only aired on television in Japan thus far, but has also been translated into English and Chinese. It was, and is, our belief that creating and running a television commercial would help to differentiate us from many other startups who do not reach out to the general public through this medium. As our operations progress, our marketing initiatives will remain ongoing and we will continually seek to identify and explore new methods of increasing consumers’ awareness of our products.

Collaborative Efforts

On December 11, 2020, Next Meats Co., Ltd. entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Euglena Co., Ltd. with the intent to jointly develop artificial meat products containing Euglena. To date, this has resulted in the creation of “Next Yakiniku Euglena EX” which integrates the microalgae euglena into our Next Yakiniku product. We are currently working on developing a burger patty alongside Euglena Co., Ltd.

On December 28, 2020, Next Meats Co., Ltd. entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Toyota Tsusho Corporation to agree to consider this partnership with the aim of taking measures to make a new food culture permeate society and contribute to the achievement of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), by making use of each companies’ strengths in forming an ecosystem that expands the Japanese and overseas plant meat market and reinforces its value chain. Thus far, this has resulted in introductions to new retailers, assistance with our exporting plans to China (including introductions to factories in China), as well as the development of the “Menchikatsu” cutlet product which was released recently.

On May 5, 2021, Next Meats Co., Ltd. entered into a Joint Research Agreement with Nagaoka University of Technology. The research pertains to regulatory mechanisms of iron-binding protein gene expression in leguminosae plants. Leguminosae plants possess a gene that encodes iron-binding protein, but this gene is not expressed in the seeds, so plant-based meat made using seeds from leguminosae plants, like soybean, lack iron-binding proteins when compared to animal meats. One solution to this problem is the production of cultivars wherein iron-binding protein genes are expressed within the seeds; the elucidation and usage of epigenetic control mechanisms will be effective in modifying gene expression. Therefore, we will conduct fundamental research on the development of plant variant that can produce seeds that contain high levels of iron-binding protein through the usage of the plant epigenetics technology at the Nagaoka University of Technology.

On October 11, 2021, we, through our now wholly owned subsidiary Next Meats Co., Ltd., entered into and consummated a “Collaboration Agreement” with Dr. Foods Co., Ltd., a Japan company and wholly owned subsidiary of Dr. Foods, Inc., a Nevada Company, that shares common management with the Company, to co-develop new food products and subsequently offer them for sale. Dr. Foods Co., Ltd. operates in the “plant-based food” industry. It currently offers, and plans to continue to offer, amongst other things, artificial foie gras made from meat substitutes, and intends to offer, in the future, a diverse range of microalgae-based foods. 

The Collaboration Agreement with Dr. Foods, Inc. is for a period of two years, and may be renewed thereafter under the same terms for additional one-year terms unless terminated in writing, with three months’ notice, by either party. The Collaboration Agreement, amongst other things, details the terms and conditions by which Next Meats Co., Ltd. and Dr. Foods Co., Ltd. may co-develop, cooperate and contribute towards the development of new products and technologies. The specific allotment of tasks per project will be determined in writing by each party at the outset of collaborative efforts. Dr. Foods Co., Ltd. will primarily, although not exclusively, contribute to research and development, and Next Meats Co., Ltd. will primarily, although not exclusively, contribute to distribution of new products/technologies. Costs pursuant to the collaborative efforts of the partners, will be the respective responsibility of the party responsible for fulfilling such tasks.

On March 17, 2022, Next Meats Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Next Meats Holdings, Inc. has agreed to conclude a business alliance agreement with Yakuodo Co., a subsidiary of Yakuodo Holdings, Inc. and as a part of this alliance, Yakuodo has agreed to purchase certain shares of Next Meats Holdings, Inc., to strengthen the relationship between the two companies. Moving forward, the two companies will consider the following possibilities for collaboration with a particular focus on utilization of data owned by Yakuodo, product development utilizing Yakuodo’s employee assets, and improvement of logistics efficiency. All such future plans have not been outlined with any further specificity at this time.

At this time, the majority of Next Meats’ products are manufactured at facilities owned by Mama Foods Co., Ltd. (“Mama Foods”), a Japan Company. Mama Foods is owned and controlled, at this time, by White Knight Co., Ltd., which in turn is owned and controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Koichi Ishizuka.

Future Plans

We anticipate that continued development of new products will be an ongoing process. Simultaneously, we are focused on expanding our sales distribution channels, and issuing pertinent press releases while conducting media interviews. We are in the process of developing our subsidiaries which includes, in some cases, the preparation of specialized domestic products (which we are not yet ready to announce). Increasing production, and local distribution via our subsidiaries, will be a developing process going into the future, and we cannot forecast with any level of specificity, at this time, when such plans will be realized.

During 2023, we intend to begin the process of listing on the NASDAQ if our financial situation is conducive to such an effort. Further, we intend to increase our mass media exposure and have tentative plans to begin placing OOH (Out of Home) advertisements in strategic locations throughout Japan. In 2023 and beyond we tentatively intend to increase our overseas media and event exposure, but such efforts are speculative at present.

Government Regulations

The below does not extensively detail every law and regulation to which the Company may be subject to, but rather provides an overview of the kind of food safety standards to which our product(s) will be held.

The main law that governs food quality and integrity in Japan is the Food Sanitation Act ("FSA") and the law that comprehensively governs food labeling regulation is the Food Labeling Act.

The FSA regulates food quality and integrity by:

- Establishing standards and specifications for food, additives, apparatus, and food containers and packaging;

- Providing for inspection to see whether the established standards are met;

- Providing for hygiene management in the manufacture and sale of food; and

- Requiring food businesses to be licensed.

Under the FSA, additives and foods containing additives must not be sold, or be produced, imported, processed, used, stored, or displayed for marketing purposes unless the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare ("MHLW") has declared them as having no risk to human health after seeking the views of the Pharmaceutical Affairs and Food Sanitation Council ("PAFSC"). In addition, it is not permissible to add any processing aids, vitamins, minerals, novel foods or nutritive substances to food unless they have been expressly declared by the MHLW as having no risk to human health.

The MHLW may establish specifications for methods of producing, processing, using, cooking, or preserving food or additives to be served to the public for marketing purposes ("Specifications"), or may establish standards for food ingredients or additives to be served to the public for marketing purposes ("Standards") pursuant to the FSA. Accordingly, where substances are allowed to be added to food, they may only be used within the limits expressly set by the Specifications and Standards.

Our Facilities

At present, our sole facilities are our research lab in Nagaoka, Niigata, which opened in February of 2021 and our Tokyo offices, both of which are rented by Next Meats Co., Ltd. from an unrelated third party at a price of 84,000 JPY per month and 426,662 JPY per month, respectively. Our Nagaoka Research Lab is solely used for research activities and does not include a “production line”. The lab is 75 square meters in size and has seven employees. The research conducted here is led by Doctors of microbiology, life sciences, and engineering. Our recent research topics include: the incorporation of microorganisms in raw materials and/or end products, fermentation technology, the use of epigenetics on raw materials, research on new varieties of plants, and research on machinery used in the manufacturing process.

We had previously developed plans to construct our own NEXT factory dedicated to alternative protein/product development. It was to include sustainable technologies and DX Systems (HVAC air conditioning unit). However, during this fiscal year, we have determined to put such plans on indefinite hiatus given management’s belief that such an endeavor would result in a large capital expenditure. Management believes it can fulfill its current and anticipated future levels of production with current manufacturers.

Employees

At present, Next Meats Holdings, Inc. has two employees, solely comprised of our officers and Directors. Next Meats Co., Ltd. has twenty two employees, twenty of which are full time employees and two are part time employees. Non executive employees of Next Meats Co., Ltd. who are full time employees receive, in addition to their salaries, social insurance in Japan. Social insurance is comprised of Pension, Health, Unemployment and Worker's Accident Compensation.  The remainder of our subsidiaries do not have employees, with the exception of their officers and directors, and such executive members do not receive any benefits at this time.

Competition

The alternative meat industry is highly competitive, with a major market share held by prominent companies, such as Beyond Meat, a Los Angeles-based producer of plant-based meat substitutes. In 2019, Beyond Meat, which manufactures the plant-based Beyond Burger, went public at a valuation of almost $1.5B. Beyond Meat began offering direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales in August 2020 and announced partnerships with Yum! Brands and McDonald’s in 2021.

In Japan, there are also several prominent alternative-meat companies which we consider to be our direct competitors including, but not necessarily limited to, Marukome Co., Ltd., Maisen Fine Foods Co., and Kabaya Foods Corporation. Marukome Co., Ltd, one of Japan’s oldest and top miso paste producers, launched their Daizu Labo (Soybean Laboratories) brand, which features over 30 soy-based substitutes for animal products, eight advertised as ‘meat’ (ready to eat, dried, and frozen). Maisen Fine Foods Co., gradually expanded its business from organic brown rice to rice-based and allergy-friendly food products. In 2016, they launched a series of gluten-free soybean and rice-based meat products. Kabaya Foods Corporation, a confectionery company founded in 1946, launched a soy-based jerky in 2018 with the slogan “a new era of snack is coming.”

Despite these, and other, competitors, we believe that we have significant competitive strengths which poise Next Meats to become a prominent market participant in the alternative food industry going forward.

Our principal executive offices are located at 3F 1-16-13 Ebisu Minami Shibuya-ku,Tokyo Japan.

The Company has elected April 30th as its year end.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

At present, our primary facilities are our research lab in Nagaoka, Niigata, which opened in February of 2021 and our Tokyo offices. Our Nagaoka Research Lab is solely used for research activities and does not include a “production line”. The lab is 75 square meters in size and currently has approximately seven employees. The research conducted here is led by Doctors of microbiology, life sciences, and engineering. Our recent research topics include: the incorporation of microorganisms in raw materials and/or end products, fermentation technology, the use of epigenetics on raw materials, research on new varieties of plants, and research on machinery used in the manufacturing process.

Both our research lab in Nagaoka, Niigata and our office space in Tokyo, are rented from unrelated third parties. We rent our research lab in Nagaoka, Niigata at a rate of 84,000 JPY per month (approximately $614). Our Tokyo offices are rented at a rate of 426,662 JPY (approximately $3,118).

Our subsidiaries also rent office space on a need be basis to hold inventory, and perform daily operative tasks.

At present, we do not own any physical properties. 

We previously mentioned, in prior filings, that we had plans to develop our own “NEXT factory” dedicated to alternative protein/product development. Such plans have been put on indefinite hiatus given management’s belief that such an endeavor would result in a large capital expenditure, and since management believes it can fulfill its current and anticipated future levels of production with current manufacturers.

As part of our plans to construct the NEXT Factory, we had purchased a plot of land, which has was cleared for construction, in Nagaoka City. Our plans for the construction of the NEXT Factory have now been placed on indefinite hiatus as mentioned, and consequently we will be seeking to sell this land back to Nagaoka City, but there can be no assurances that we will do so on terms that we deem to be favorable.

No physical construction of the NEXT factory have occurred and plans were primarily constrained to drawings, planning, etc. 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.”

These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. 

Business

We share the same business plan as that of our subsidiaries and we also act as a holding company for our subsidiaries. Through Next Meats Co., Ltd., Next Meats USA, Inc., Next Meats HK Co. Limited, Next Meats (S) Pte. Ltd., and NextMeats France, we develop and sell alternative meat products, with ingredients derived from predominantly, plant based materials.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

As of April 30, 2022 and 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $620,297 and $7,210,200, respectively. As a result of furthering our business agenda, which comes with, what we believe to be, increased general and administrative expenses, our cash balance from the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, has decreased significantly.

Currently, our cash balance is not sufficient to fund our operations and our revenues cannot cover our cost and expenses for any extended period of time. We have primarily relied upon fundraising activities from the sale of our common stock in order to fund our business activities. We believe, and intend, to use future revenues to fund our operating activities. However, if our revenue does not increase as we expect, then we may be forced to conduct future fundraising activities, which may include, but are not limited to, the sale of our common stock, or capital contribution from our officers and directors.

If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will have to adjust our operating strategy accordingly.

As of April 30, 2022, and 2021, we had total assets of $5,728,600 and $8,485,731, respectively. We attribute the increase in total assets, to the acquisition of additional assets during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022.

As of April 30, 2022, and 2021, we had total liabilities of $853,814 and $498,865, respectively. We attribute the increase in total liabilities, to an increase in accrued expenses and other payables.

Revenues

For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated revenue in the amount of $6,950,236 and $398,386, respectively. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, our cost of revenues were $5,707,788 and $301,166, respectively. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, our gross profit was $1,242,448 and $97,220, respectively. The increase in gross profit came about as a result of increased operations.

Net Loss

We recorded a net loss of $5,795,980 and $5,881,649,768 for the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The greater net loss for the year ended April 30, 2021, was the result of significant share-based expenses.

Cash flows

For the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we had negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $8,452,904 and $1,151,090, respectively. The variance in cash flows is primarily attributable to advance payments and prepaid expenses for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022.

For the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we had negative cash flows from investing activities in the amount of $1,092,511 and $697,095, respectively. The variance in cash flows is attributable to land and improvements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022. In regards to land improvement, as part of our plan to construct the NEXT Factory, we purchased a plot of land, which has since been cleared for construction, in Nagaoka City. Our plans for the construction of the NEXT Factory have now been placed on indefinite hiatus, and consequently we will be seeking to sell this land back to Nagaoka City, but there can be no assurances that we will do so on terms that we deem to be favorable.

For the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we had net cash provided by financing activities in the amount of $4,084,478 and $9,128,446, respectively. The variance in cash flows is attributable to a significant stock issuance during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.

The Company has not recorded enough revenue to cover its operating costs. We expect our wholly-owned subsidiary, NextMeats France, to increase activity in the next fiscal quarter which we expect will produce revenue to cover at least some operating costs. We also expect our wholly-owned subsidiary, Next Meats Japan Co. Ltd to improve its operating income in the next fiscal quarter. However, management plans to fund some operating expenses with related party contributions to capital until there is sufficient revenue to cover all operating expenses. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Next Meats Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Next Meats Holdings, Inc. as of April 30, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

Next Meats Holdings, Inc. (we, us, our, or the "Company"), formerly known as Turnkey Solutions, Inc., was incorporated on April 15, 2020 in the State of Nevada.

On April 15, 2020, Paul Moody was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of the Company, at the time known as “Turnkey Solutions, Inc.”

On October 1, 2020, the Company, at the time known as “Turnkey Solutions, Inc.” (the “Company” or “Successor”) announced on Form 8-K plans to participate in a holding company reorganization (“the Reorganization” or “Merger”) with Intermedia Marketing Solutions, Inc. (“IMMM” or “Predecessor”) and Intermedia Marketing Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) collectively (the “Constituent Corporations”) pursuant to NRS 92A.180, NRS A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250. Immediately prior to the Reorganization, the Company was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of Intermedia Marketing Solutions, Inc. and Intermedia Marketing Solutions Merger Sub, Inc. was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The effective date and time of the Reorganization was October 28, 2020 at 4PM PST (the “Effective Time”). The entire plan of Merger is on file with Nevada Secretary of State (“NSOS”) and included in the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 Nevada Secretary of State (“NSOS”) and attached to and made a part thereof to the Articles of Merger pursuant to NRS 92A.200 filed with NSOS on October 16, 2020. At the Effective Time, Predecessor merged with and into its indirect and wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub with Predecessor as the surviving corporation resulting in Predecessor as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Concurrently and after the Effective Time, the Company cancelled all of its stock held in Predecessor resulting in the Company as a stand-alone and separate entity with no subsidiaries, no assets and negligible liabilities. The assets and liabilities of Predecessor, if any, remain with Predecessor. The Company has abandoned the business plan of its Predecessor and resumed its former business plan of a blank check company after completion of the Merger.

Full details pertaining to the Reorganization can be viewed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on October 29, 2020.

On November 18, 2020 our former controlling shareholder, Flint Consulting Services, LLC sold 35,000,000 shares of common stock to Next Meats Co., Ltd a Japan Company. Collectively, the majority shareholders of Next Meats Co., Ltd are comprised of Ryo Shirai, Hideyuki Sasaki, and Koichi Ishizuka. The Purchase Price was paid with personal funds of the majority shareholders of NMC.

On the same day, November 18, 2020, Paul Moody resigned from his position of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.

Simultaneous to Paul Moody’s resignations Ryo Shirai was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Hideyuki Sasaki as our Chief Operating Officer and Director, and Koichi Ishizuka as our Chief Financial Officer.

On January 8, 2021 our majority shareholder, Next Meats Co., Ltd., a Japan Company, along with our Board of Directors, comprised of Mr. Koichi Ishizuka, Mr. Ryo Shirai, and Mr. Hideyuki Sasaki, took action to ratify, affirm, and approve a name change of the Company from Turnkey Solutions, Inc., to Next Meats Holdings, Inc. The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State (“NVSOS”) to enact the name change with an effective date of January 19, 2021. This was previously disclosed in the Form 8-K we filed on January 25, 2021.

Also on January 8, 2021, our majority shareholder Next Meats Co., Ltd., along with our Board of Directors took action to ratify, affirm, and approve a change of the Company’s ticker symbol from TKSI to NXMH.

Pursuant to the above, the Company carried out a FINRA corporate action. As a result of the aforementioned actions the Company’s CUSIP number was changed from 90043H102 to 65345L 100. The change in CUSIP, name change, and symbol change were posted on the FINRA daily list on January 25, 2021 with a market effective date of January 26, 2021.

On January 28, 2021, our majority shareholder, Next Meats Co., Ltd., along with our Board of Directors took action to ratify, affirm, and approve the issuance of 452,352,298 shares of restricted common stock to Next Meats Co., Ltd. The shares were issued for services rendered to the Company. Following this issuance we had 500,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On June 9, 2021 the Company entered into a “Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement” (referred to herein as “the Agreement”) with Next Meats Co., Ltd.

Next Meats Co., Ltd. is a Japanese Company that operates in the “alternative meat” industry. It currently offers, and plans to continue to offer, amongst other things, artificial chicken and beef products made from meat substitutes. The product offerings from Next Meats Co., Ltd. are currently sold to various food distributors, supermarkets, and restaurant groups.

Next Meats Co., Ltd. is referred to herein as “NMCO”, and Next Meats Holdings, Inc., is referred to herein as “the Company”, and or “NXMH.” The current shareholders of Next Meats Co., Ltd. are referred to herein as “NMCO shareholders”.

Pursuant to the agreement, at the effective time of the agreement, NXMH acquired NMCO as a wholly owned subsidiary and commensurate with this action, there was a conversion of the NXMH Percentile Share Interest in exchange for the Company’s 100% percentile share interest in NMCO. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (defined below) each NMCO shareholder canceled and exchanged their percentile share interest in NMCO for an equivalent percentile share interest in NXMH pursuant to each NMCO shareholder’s pro rata percentage.

On or about September 17, 2021, we incorporated NextMeats France, a French entity, which will act as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. We intend to utilize NextMeats France to, amongst other things, operate as a reseller and distributor, in France and throughout Europe, of food products currently offered by Next Meats Co., Ltd. There are currently no agreements in place between Next Meats Co., Ltd. and NextMeats France, however each entity is currently under common control and shares the same management team.

In January of 2022, we engaged counsel to incorporate Next Meats USA, Inc. on our behalf. Next Meats USA, Inc. (“NXMH USA”) was incorporated on January 18, 2022 and is a California Corporation.

On February 7, 2022, the incorporator of Next Meats USA, Inc. was discharged of any further duties. Simultaneously, Koichi Ishizuka and Koki Terui were appointed as Directors, and Koki Terui was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer.

On February 7, 2022, NXMH USA issued 100 shares of its common stock to Next Meats Holdings, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, in exchange for $10,000. As a result of this action, Next Meats Holdings, Inc. became the sole shareholder of NXMH USA. NXMH USA is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Next Meats Holdings, Inc.

Next Meats Holdings, Inc., intends to utilize NXMH USA as a means to expand its business operations into the United States. Currently, the Company offers a wide variety of alternative meat products and it is the Company’s plan to make these products more readily available to those in the United States via NXMH USA.

Prior to the issuance of shares to Next Meats Holdings, Inc., NXMH USA did not have any significant assets, or material transactions, to disclose. The financial statements for Next Meats Holdings, Inc., for its quarter ended April 30, 2022, will be consolidated to include those of NXMH USA.

On or about February 8, 2022, we incorporated Next Meats HK Co. Limited (“Next Meats HK”), a Hong Kong Company. Next Meats HK is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Registry Number associated with this entity in Hong Kong is 3126390.

On or about March 2, 2022, we incorporated Next Meats (S) Pte. Ltd. (“Next Meats Singapore”), a Singapore Company. Next Meats Singapore. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company Registration Number in Singapore is 202207295H.

These financial statements consolidate those of NXMH, NMCO, NextMeats France, NXMH USA, Next Meats HK, and Next Meats Singapore.

On December 28, 2021 we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, resulting in an increase to our authorized shares of Common Stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Financial Statements In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the unaudited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the 2021 Annual Report, have been omitted. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2022 and April 30, 2021 were $620,297 and $7,210,200, respectively.

Income Taxes

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. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized at April 30, 2022 and April 30, 2021.

Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments as of April 30, 2022 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

- Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.  

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of April 30, 2022. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accrued expenses.

Related Parties

The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Share-Based Compensation

ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.”  Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable:  (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued.  The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.  

The Company had no stock-based compensation plans as of April 30, 2022.

The Company’s stock-based compensation for the periods ended April 30, 2022 and April 30, 2021 were $0 and $5,880,579,874, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 is amended by ASU 2018-01, ASU2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01, which FASB issued in January 2018, July 2018, July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019, respectively (collectively, the amended ASU 2016-02). The amended ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from current GAAP. The amended ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases (i.e. capital leases under current GAAP) and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases will be substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under current GAAP. The amended ASU 2016-02 also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition approach is permitted to be used when an entity adopts the amended ASU 2016-02, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply.

We have no assets and or leases and do not believe we will be impacted in the foreseeable future by the newly adopted accounting standard(s) mentioned above.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 3 - Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.

The Company has not recorded enough revenue to cover its operating costs. We expect our wholly-owned subsidiary, NextMeats France, to increase activity in the next fiscal quarter which we expect will produce revenue to cover at least some operating costs. We also expect our wholly-owned subsidiary, Next Meats Japan Co. Ltd to improve its operating income in the next fiscal quarter. However, management plans to fund some operating expenses with related party contributions to capital until there is sufficient revenue to cover all operating expenses. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Income Taxes

The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the period presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the net operating losses, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. As April 30, 2022, the Company has incurred a net  loss of approximately $6,880,384 which resulted in a net operating loss for income tax purposes.  The loss results in a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,444,881 at the effective statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset has been offset by an equal valuation allowance. Given our inception on April 15, 2020, and our fiscal year end of April 30, 2022, we have completed three taxable fiscal years.

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not.  In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company has incurred a net operating loss carryforward of $6,880,384  which begins expiring in 2040. The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for non-capital losses carried forward. The potential benefit of the net operating loss has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the loss carried forward in future years.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate is as follows:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of April 30, 2022.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC.  The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, both of which are Koichi Ishizuka, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective. 

Our Chief Executive Officer, Koichi Ishizuka, has reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by the report April 30, 2022 and has concluded that (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.  Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of April 30, 2022, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is ineffective based on those criteria.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Koichi Ishizuka, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control processes will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that the breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.  However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our Chief Executive Officer considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of Treadway Commission were: inadequate compensating controls, lack of a majority of outside directors on board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, and lack of an audit committee.

The Company believes that the material weaknesses are due to the Company’s limited resources and limited operating history.

Our Chief Executive Officer believes that the material weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and inadequate segregation of duties results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

Our Chief Executive Officer recognizes that its controls and procedures would be substantially improved if we had an audit committee and as such is actively seeking to remediate this issue. 

Changes in Internal Control

There have been no changes in internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Employees

Details as to our employees are contained herein on page 6 under the subsection titled, “Employees”.

Director’s Term of Office

Directors will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are elected annually by our board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. Presently, we have two directors, Hideyuki Sasaki and Koichi Ishizuka.

Corporate Governance

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.

In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company's financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. Our officers and directors review the Company's internal accounting controls, practices and policies.

Committees of the Board

Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the Directors can adequately perform the functions of such committees.

Table of Contents

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors have determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.

We believe that our Directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Directors of our Company do not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of Directors can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent Director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our officers and directors have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

Independence of Directors

We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are required to do so.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company, and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

Shareholder Proposals

Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees.
