ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business
Pedro’s List, Inc., formerly known as Quest Management, Inc. the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 12, 2014. The Company originally intended to engage in the business of development of marketing channels to distribute fitness equipment to the wholesale market in the United States. The Company is currently looking for acquisition candidates that would bring operations, profitability and cash flows to the Company. From October 12, 2014- July 31,2018, Quest Management was in the early stages of developing our business, which is to develop marketing channels to distribute third-party fitness equipment to wholesale markets in the US. Fitness equipment would be any apparatus or device used during physical activity to enhance the strength or conditioning effects of that exercise by providing either fixed or adjustable amounts of resistance or to otherwise enhance the experience or outcome of an exercise routine. As of the year ended October 31, 2021, the Company has had no revenues or business operations.
Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees.
We are a development stage company and currently have one employee. Andrew Birnbaum, our President and a Director handles the Company’s day-to-day operations. We intend to hire employees as revenue supports the expense. Our initial sales are being made by our President and commissioned independent salespeople.
Insurance
We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party of a legal action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.

Plan of Operation for the next 12 months
Our cash balance is $0 as of October 31, 2021. We do not believe that our cash balance is sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations beyond one year’s time unless additional revenues are generated.
Our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we generate additional revenue sufficient to maintain operations or obtain additional capital to pay our bills. There is no assurance we will ever reach that stage.
Over the next twelve months we plan to engage in the following activities to expand our business operations:
Accounting/Auditing & Legal | $ | 25,000 | ||
Office & Administration | $ | 1,000 | ||
Working Capital | $ | 1,000 | ||
Total Expenses | $ | 27,000 |
Accounting/Auditing & Legal: Expenses for accounting will go primarily toward the preparation of financial statements. Expenses for auditing will go to our auditor for our year end audits and quarterly reviews. Expenses for legal fees will go primarily to our lawyer to ensure that all our filings are in order and we are in compliance with different regulatory authorities.
Office and Administration: This will be the cost of purchasing small office equipment such as a computer, printer/scanner/copier/fax, expenses such as telephone, electricity, office supplies, etc.
Working Capital: Items not accounted for elsewhere or that are difficult to predict such as bank fees, entertainment, software products and office equipment.

During the current fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Company issued two promissory notes totaling $11,000. Additionally, the Company borrowed from a Related Party $23,093.

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.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and for the year ended October 31, 2021, we have generated no revenues. We cannot guarantee 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 and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. 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.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
INCOME TAXES
For federal income tax purposes, substantially all expenses incurred prior to the commencement of operations must be deferred and then they may be written off over a 180-month period. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20 years until utilized for federal tax purposes. The Company will provide a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax assets since there is no assurance of future taxable income.
The Company utilizes the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 related to Income Taxes to account for the uncertainty in income taxes. Topic 740 for Income Taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing rules for recognition, measurement and classification in financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be in a tax return. Further, it prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement measurement and recognition of a tax position. The first step involves the determination of whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This topic also provides guidance on the accounting for related interest and penalties, financial statement classification and disclosure. The Company’s policy is that any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense when incurred. The Company has no uncertain tax positions or related interest or penalties requiring accrual at October 31, 2021.
CASH
There was $0 in cash as of the year ended October 30, 2021, and the prior year ended October 30, 2020.
REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY
The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of any resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are incurred. Any revenues earned include sales of our exercise equipment. The Company recognizes these sales once delivery time is confirmed by the customer.
COST OF SALES
Amounts that will be recorded as cost of sales relate to direct expenses incurred in order to fulfill orders of our products. Such costs are recorded and allocated as incurred. Our cost of sales will consist primarily of the cost of product, packaging/labeling costs and shipping expenses.
8 |
|
PROPERTY
Property is stated at historical cost. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Additions and improvements are capitalized while routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the historically recorded asset cost and any accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to other income or expense.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

PEDRO’S LIST, INC.
(Formerly Quest Management, Inc.)
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2021, and 2020
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Pedro’s List, Inc., formerly known as Quest Management, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 12, 2014. The Company originally intended to engage in the business of development of marketing channels to distribute fitness equipment to the wholesale market in the United States. The Company, as described in the subsequent events footnote, expects to acquire Pedro’s List, LLC in the first calendar quarter of 2022 and is entering into the business of offering an online service to consumers looking for credible and reputable home service and repair providers in Mexico.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars. The Financial Statements and related disclosures as of October 31, 2021 and 2020 are audited pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Quest Management,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” are to Pedro’s List, Inc.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed for potential impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company had no such intangibles at October 31, 2021 and 2020, and recorded no impairment losses during the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company will recognize revenue from the sale of our exercise equipment by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under US GAAP. Fair value is defined 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. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

NOTE 1- Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging grown company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has chosen to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, the Company will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10-30, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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 the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period, unless their effect is anti-dilutive due to continuing losses. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2 – Financial Condition and Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had limited operations during the period from October 12, 2014 (date of inception) to October 31, 2021 resulted in accumulated deficit of $835,927. As of October 31, 2021, Company had working capital deficit of $63,927. These factors raise substantial doubt as to its ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing and achieve profitable operations.
Management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors. Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve profitable operations in order to continue as a going concern.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available to the Company, it may be required to curtail its operations.
NOTE 3 – Notes Payable
On May 31, 2016, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $16,605 to Peak Marine Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Peak”). This Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) was issued in consideration of advances and loans made by Peak to the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the holder has the right to convert any portion of the principal amount thereof at the par value of the Company’s common stock. The holder also has the right to assign any portion of the Note or assign the shares to be issued upon any conversion of the Notes, to other parties. During the month of December 2016, Peak sold all its interest in the Note to five (5) independent third parties (the “Holders”).
During the month of January 2017, the Holders provided notices of election to convert a total of $15,000 of the Note into shares, which totaled shares of common stock. An outside party assumed the remaining balance on the Note of $1,605 in April 2021. This balance was added to the advances the party is owed in accounts payable, plus the accrued interest of $550 mentioned below.
At October 31, 2021, the Company had recorded $550 in accrued interest payable on the note that was assumed as mentioned above. This amount was included in the forgiveness of debt during the current year. The interest expense for the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0 and $64, respectively.
At October 31, 2021, the Company has a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $6,150 to an LLC. This Promissory Note (the “Note”) was issued in consideration of advances and loans made by the LLC to the Company.
At October 31, 2021, the Company has two Promissory Notes in the principal amount of $6,000 to an Individual. This Promissory Note (the “Note”) was issued in consideration of a payment made by him to the Company’s attorney and a vendor.
At October 31, 2021, the Company has a Promissory Notes in the principal amount of $5,000 to an outside party. This Promissory Note (the “Note”) was issued in consideration of a payment made by him to the Company’s attorney.
These loans were for operating expenses of the Company, due upon demand and have no interest rate. The notes were originally made for six to twelve months, but are due upon demand without any penalties or interest.

NOTE 4 – Note Payable-Related Party
As of October 31, 2021, loan amount of $12,500 is due to Custodian of the company. The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is payable on demand.
These loans were for operating expenses of the Company, due upon demand and have no interest rate.
NOTE 5 – Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10 (formerly known as FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740-10 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulation in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding the income tax exposures. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in the subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the balance sheets and statements of income.
The Company has no unrecognized tax benefit, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit during the period ended October 31, 2021.
We classify interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statement of income under general and administrative expenses. As of October 31, 2021, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The components of deferred income tax assets (liabilities) at October 31, 2021, were as follows:
Balance | Rate | Tax | ||||||||||
Federal loss carryforward | $ | 835,927 | (1) | 21 | % | $ | 175,545 | |||||
Valuation allowance | (175,545 | ) | ||||||||||
Deferred tax asset | $ | — | ||||||||||
(1) | This amount has been restated due to an adjustment in a previous period for the value assigned to shares issued for services. |
The new law also changes the rules on NOL carry forward. The 20-year limitation was eliminated, giving the taxpayer the ability to carry forward losses indefinitely. However, NOL carry forward arising after January 1, 2018, will now be limited to 80 percent of taxable income.

NOTE 6 – Capital Changes
On February 6, 2020, $4,145 of debt was purchased in the Company in exchange for shares of common stock issued to a Related Party. The Company recorded a loss on the conversion of this debt in the amount of $615,855. The fair market value of the common stock was on the date of the conversion.
NOTE 7 – Contingencies and Commitments
The Company follows ASC 440 & ASC 450, subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies and commitments respectively. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.
The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Management of the Company has conducted a diligent search and concluded that there were no commitments, contingencies, or legal matters pending at the balance sheet dates.
The effects of Covid -19 could impact our ability to operate under the going concern and maintain sufficient liquidity to continue operations. The impact of Covid-19 on companies is evolving rapidly and its future effects are uncertain. There are material uncertainties from Covid-19 that cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to operate under the going concern. It is highly likely that our company will have issues relating to the current situation that need to be considered by management. There will be a wide range of factors to take into account in going concern judgments and financial projections including travel bans, restrictions, government assistance and potential sources of replacement financing, financial health of suppliers and customers and their effect on expected profitability and other key financial performance ratios including information that shows whether there will be sufficient liquidity to continue to meet obligations when they are due.

Upon motion and application to the District Court, Clark County Nevada, the Court granted the shareholder’s request and the shareholder was appointed as custodian for the Company (“Custodian”).
As Custodian of the Company, the shareholder was ordered to file an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation which was filed in conformity with N.R.S. 78.347(4) and the shareholder was ordered to have the Company’s charter reinstated in Nevada, to notice and hold a shareholder meeting; to provide a report to the Court of the actions taken at the shareholder meeting; to identify and name a new registered agent in the State of Nevada; to reinstate the Company in the State of Nevada; and the Custodian. In addition to the aforementioned items set forth in the Order Appointing the Custodian, the Custodian was given the power and authority to take any action it deemed reasonable and for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. The Custodian is now in the process of meeting all of the requirements set forth in the Court Order and filing a motion to terminate its services. Upon granting the motion, the Court will issue an Order acknowledging that the Custodian has performed all of the duties that had been required of it and the management of the Company will revert exclusively to the officers and directors appointed by the Custodian.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of October 31, 2021 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and our disclosure controls and procedures were also ineffective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the CEO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records which in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 30, 2021, management used the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the criteria established by COSO, management (with the participation of the CEO and CFO) identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2021, which arose from the limited number of number of staff at the Company and the inability to achieve proper segregation of duties:
· | The Company lacked effective controls for ensuring the accuracy of reporting over significant account balances, including the review, approval, and documentation of related transactions and account reconciliations and other complex accounting procedures. |
· | The Company lacked effective controls because their directors are not independent. |
As a result of these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2021, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Security and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
20 |
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management, including the CEO and acting CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect that there are resource constraints and that the benefits 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 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 breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
As of October 31, 2021: Our executive officer’s and director’s and their respective ages are as follows:
Name | Age | Positions | ||
Andrew Birnbaum (*) | 57 | President, Treasurer, Secretary and Director |
(*) On February 3, 2020, Andrew Birnbaum was appointed President, Treasurer, Secretary and Director of the Company.
Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officer and director for the past five years.
ANDREW BIRNBAUM
Mr. Andrew Birnbaum has served as President and Director since February 3, 2020. Mr. Birnbaum, age 56, has over 25 years of professional experience. He currently serves as the CEO of Pedro’s List, LLC where he has worked since February 2020. In 2019, he ran a wholesale and CBD products company. In 2018 he was CEO of Titan Digital Currency Exchange. In 2016 and 2017, he operated an international electronic device company named The League of Scoundrels. Prior to that he served as CEO of a publicly traded company named Vapor Hub International.
TERM OF OFFICE
Directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, who doesn’t qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Company has no plans to list on the NASDAQ Global Market). The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to our director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by directors and us with regard to our director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
We currently have one employee, our sole officer and director, Andrew Birnbaum.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our director. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early development stage company and has only one director, and to date, such director has been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our director and officer has the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with our executive officer or director.
22 |
INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of our company has, during the last ten years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking or commodities laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto.
STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our board of directors. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the board of directors, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. During the upcoming year, our board of directors will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process. |
CODE OF ETHICS
We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officer, director and employee. When we do adopt a code of ethics, we will disclose it in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Under these rules, a director is not considered to be independent if he or she also is an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Our board of directors has determined that the Company does not have any independent directors.
