Important factors that may cause actual results to differ from projections include, for example:

Organizational History and General Background of the Registrant

The Company was incorporated in Florida in 1995 for the purpose of designing and manufacturing heat pump pool heaters, residential air conditioners and parallel flow coils for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry. In June 2002, the Registrant and its subsidiaries filed a petition for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Company emerged from bankruptcy in March 2004 free and clear of all liens, claims and obligations. On July 17, 2017, Peregrine Industries, Inc., (the “Registrant”) issued a total of 22,477,843 or 97.7% of the issued common restricted shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Shares”) to Dolomite Holdings Ltd., organized under the laws of the State of Israel and the corporate parent and principal shareholder of the Registrant (“Dolomite”). The Shares were issued upon the conversion by Dolomite, effective July 14, 2017, of principal and accrued interest owed by the Registrant to Dolomite evidenced by convertible notes and other short-term debt in the aggregate amount of $443,718, representing all of the liabilities of the Registrant at its fiscal year-ended June 30, 2017. The fair value of the shares was deemed to be the carrying value of the principal and accrued interest, $443,718. Dolomite was a related party therefore the settlement had no gain or loss. The issuance of the Shares was made in reliance upon the exemptions provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and Regulation S promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). . Effective July 21, 2017, Dolomite sold, transferred and assigned the total of 22,477,843 restricted shares of the Registrant’s common stock, to four persons, none of whom were affiliated with the Registrant or with Dolomite. The 22,477,843 Shares represented in excess of 97% of the Registrant’s total issued and outstanding Shares at July 21, 2017, resulting in a change of control of the Company.

On September 3, 2021, through our wholly owned subsidiary Mace Merger, Corp., Mace, Corporation was merged into our Company, through the issuance to each shareholder of one share of Peregrine, Industries for each four share of Mace, Corporation which they held. A total of 250,000,000 were issued. The 22,477,843 shares held per the above paragraph were returned to the Company for cancelation.

Business Objectives of the Registrant

The Registrant, through the above merger is now carrying on the business, of Mace Corporation. Management has a business plan which it intends to pursue during the coming fiscal year. The Company is actively pursuing the Mace business model on which to concentrate. The Mace business model is in its infancy and accordingly, there is no basis for investors in the Company’s common stock to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business or the particular industry in which it operates. We may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of an early stage or potential emerging growth company.

Employees

Because of the virus and minimal operations the Company, presently, has two full time and two part time employees. We currently have no employees, except for those included in the Mace, Corporation merger. The officers perform any duties necessary for corporate maintenance. Our CEO performs all duties related to the operations of this business. We also plan to utilize additional independent contractors on a part-time/as needed basis.

Quotation of the Company’s securities on the OTCQB limits the liquidity and price of the Company’s common stock more than if the Company’s shares of common stock were listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or a national exchange. For the periods indicated, the following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of common stock. The below prices represent inter-dealer quotations without retail markup, markdown, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

The Shares were issued upon the conversion by Dolomite, effective July 14, 2017, of principal and accrued interest owed by the Registrant to Dolomite evidenced by convertible notes and other short-term debt in the aggregate amount of $443,718, representing all of the liabilities of the Registrant at its fiscal year-ended June 30, 2017. The fair value of the shares is determined to be the carrying value of the principal and accrued interest of $443,718 since Dolomite was related party. Therefore the settlement didn’t have any gain or loss.

The issuance of the Shares was made in reliance upon the exemptions provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Regulation S promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The 22,477,843 Shares represented in excess of 97% of the Registrant’s total issued and outstanding Shares at July 21, 2017, resulting in a change of control of the Company.

Effective July 30, 2021 the Company issued 250,000,000 common restricted shares to the shareholders of Mace, Corporation in return for their shareholding in Mace, Corporation. At the same time the four controlling shareholders of the Company returned their combined 22,477,843 common restricted shares to be cancelled.

Recent Developments

Results of Operations during the year ended July 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended July 31, 2022.

Although we have not generated any revenues during the years previous to the Mace merger, Mace Corporation did generate $22,007 and $22,723 sales revenue during the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. Operating losses for the years ended July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022 were $394,086 and $307,902 previous to building sale proceeds of $198,204 and forgiven payroll grants of $10,000, for the year ended July 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022 we had $397,465 and $572,972 cash on hand. For the year ended July 31, 2023, the Company used $173,939 for operating activities, compared to the year ended July 31, 2022 when we provided $390,714 cash, primarily from the sale of the Company owned building. For the year ended July 31, 2023 we used $11,568 compared to $18,724 to acquire patents during the year ended July 31, 2022.  During the year ended July 31, 2023 we raised $10,000 from the sale of common stock compared to the year ended July 31, 2022 when we received $50,000 from the sale of common shares, $106,700 from SBA loans and repaid a $50,000 related party loan.

As of July 31, 2023 the Company has sufficient cash to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months. If additional cash is required, through borrowings from its majority shareholders or a related party, management believes it can satisfy its cash requirements by obtaining financing from its controlling shareholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has only limited capital. Additional financing may be necessary for the Company to continue as a going concern.

As of July 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Peregrine Industries, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Peregrine Industries, Inc. as of July 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 July 31, 2023 and 2022, 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.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Year Ended July 31, 2023

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS:

Peregrine Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on October 1, 1995 for the purpose of manufacturing residential pool heaters. The Company was formerly located in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Products were primarily sold throughout the United States, Canada, and Brazil. In June 2002, the Registrant and its subsidiaries filed a petition for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. At present, the Company has no business operations and is deemed to be a shell company. The Company had a change in control on July 8, 2013 as a result of the sale by our former principal shareholders, Richard Rubin, Thomas J. Craft, Jr. and Ivo Heiden, of their 324,000 shares of common stock, representing approximately 61.8% of the Company's outstanding common stock, to Dolomite Industries Ltd ("Dolomite"). In connection with the private sale of their shares of common stock to Dolomite on July 2, 2013, Messrs. Rubin and Heiden agreed to waive a total of $224,196 in liabilities owed to them at June 30, 2013. In connection with the change of control transaction, two former principal shareholders transferred and assigned all $195,000 of their two convertible notes to three unaffiliated third parties and one affiliated party. See also note 3. On June 12, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Registrant appointed Mr. Zohar Shpitz as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Registrant. Mr. Shpitz was appointed as CFO in connection with the resignation of Mr. Ofer Naveh as the Registrant's CFO, effective June 19, 2017.  On July 21, 2017, new management acquired, 22,477,843 or 97.7% of the issued common restricted shares.  The new management is developing a business plan which they anticipate implementing within the current fiscal year.

On September 3, 2021, through our wholly owned subsidiary Mace Merger, Corp., Mace, Corporation was merged into our Company, through the issuance to each shareholders of one share of Peregrine, Industries for each four share of Mace, Corporation which they held. A total of 250,000,000 were issued. The 22,477,843 shares held, by the new management, per the above paragraph, were returned to the Company for cancelation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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").

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the 2022 financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income or net income or cash flows as previously reported.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Peregrine, Industries, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Year Ended July 31, 2023

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains its cash in United States’ dollars in United States’ bank accounts which balances, may exceed the federal insured limit of $250,000.

Land and Building

On October 28, 2021, Mace Corporation completed the sale of its land and building, located at 9171 W Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, Nevada.  Net proceeds of $632,629, resulting from the sale price of $679,000, were held in escrow and received by the Company on November 2, 2021.

Earnings (loss) per share:

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of options to purchase common stock (only if those options are exercisable and at prices below the average share price for the period) and shares issuable upon the conversion of issued and outstanding preferred stock. Due to the net losses reported, dilutive common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented. There were no common equivalent shares required to be added to the basic weighted average shares outstanding to arrive at diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of July 31, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by performing the following five steps analysis:

Step 1: Identify the contract

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price

Step 5: Recognize revenue

Peregrine, Industries, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Year Ended July 31, 2023

The Company generates revenue from the sale of items used for the care of babies. Although the Company plans to sell, its products through distributors, the bulk of current revenue is derived through internet and social media venues. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of services and when the Company has the right to invoice the customer using the allowable practical expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18 since the right to invoice the customer corresponds with the performance obligations completed. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the Company’s customers are satisfied. Satisfaction of contract terms occurs when shipping is performed, and the customers assume risk of loss. The amount of consideration the Company expects to receive consists of the sales price adjusted for any incentives if applicable. In applying judgment, the Company considered customer expectations of performance, materiality and the core principles of ASC Topic 606. The Company’s performance obligations are generally transferred to the customer at a point in time. The Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include any variable consideration.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Accounts receivable as of July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022 were $18,116 and $22,654 respectively. An allowance for doubtful accounts will be provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectable based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the period. Management has reviewed the current accounts receivable and has concluded that no allowance was necessary as of July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022.  Bad debts will be written off against the allowance when identified.

Inventory

As at July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had $601,105 and $784,294 worth of inventory, stated at the lower of cost or market, valued on an average cost basis. The inventory is reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted for and discrepancies. Managements’ evaluation was that there was impairment of $182,415 required on July 31, 2023 or $0.00 on July 31, 2022.

Related Party Transactions

We consider all directors, officers and those who own more than 5% shares to be related parties and record any transactions between them and the Company to be related party transactions and disclose such transactions on notes to the financial statements.

Prepaid Expenses and Product Deposits

Prepaid expenses, totaling $4,248 and $13,181 at July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022 respectively consist of cash paid in advance for services to be provided. The Company outsources all of the manufacturing processes and has paid deposits, to its manufacturers. At July 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no outstanding deposits. Service provider prepayments are amortized over the useful life of the service.

Peregrine, Industries, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Year Ended July 31, 2023

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists primarily of office furniture and equipment stated at original cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation was calculated using the straight line method based on the estimated useful life of the underlying asset, generally three to five years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Production Molds

The building of production molds is outsourced to specialists and is recorded at the total cost to acquire each. The molds are built to specifications that include the number of parts anticipated to be produced. The cost of the mold is depreciated on a straight line basis over 5 years. Cost of repairs and maintenance will be expensed as incurred. The value of each mold is reviewed quarterly and will be impaired, when necessary, based on managements’ valuation of the molds continuing viability. Depreciation of $359,040 has been recorded through July 31, 2023. Because the molds were totally depreciated no depreciation was recorded for the year ended July 31, 2023 compared to $51,899 for the year ended July 31, 2022.

Patents

Patent costs consist of the legal fees paid to prepare, file and process the patent applications. Patents will be amortized, utilizing the straight line method, over the useful life of the patent and will be reviewed quarterly to determine if impairment is required. Research and development are not included in the cost of patents, and, are expensed as incurred. Management paid $11,568 for patent costs and determined that patent assets should be impaired by $12,293 for the year ended July 31, 2023. 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This pronouncement requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset on the balance sheet. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, along with related clarifications and improvements, as of April 30, 2022.

The Company has evaluated and 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.

Income taxes

The Company follows ASC Topic 740 for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Peregrine, Industries, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Year Ended July 31, 2023

The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of July 31, 2023, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had a material effect on the Company.

The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. As of July 31, 2023, no income tax expense has been incurred.

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50 and since 2020 ASC 718 as well. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of July 31, 2023

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN:

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has accumulated losses aggregating $4,828,154 and $4,434,068 as of July 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.   During the year ended July 31,  2023, the Company recorded a loss of $394,086 which included an inventory valuation write down of $182,415, compared to a net loss for the year ended July 31, 2022 of $99,698 which included profit of $198,204 derived from the sale of its building, plus $10,000 from debt forgiveness. The Company has sufficient cash on hand to support its operations for the next fiscal year but has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company is taking appropriate action to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps include, but are not limited to: 1) implementation of new business plan 2)focus on sales to minimize the need for capital at this stage; 3) raising equity financing; 4) continuous focus on reductions in cost where possible. There is no assurance that equity or debt offerings will be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of the Company.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGIES

Leases

Prior to April 1, 2022, our office was located in 9171 W Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas. We sold the property on October 28, 2021 and subsequently signed a lease agreement for the same building for approximately 8 months from October 28, 2021 to June 30, 2022.  No ASC Topic 842 was implemented under this agreement since it’s under 1 year. Effective April 1, 2022, we moved to 4525 W Reno Avenue, Las Vegas under a 24-month rental agreement covering April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024, with an initial monthly rental rate of $1,525 in the first year increasing to a monthly rate of $1,600 in second year. At July 31, 2023, in accordance with ASC Topic 842, we recognized a right of use (“ROU”) asset of $12,314 and an operating lease liability of $12,614. The lease liability is determined by discounting the future lease payments under the lease terms and applying a 5% per annum discount rate to determine the current lease liability.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2023. This evaluation was implemented under the supervision and with the participation of our officers and directors.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of July 31, 2023 our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our officers and directors have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures had the following material weaknesses:

We were unable to maintain any segregation of duties within our financial operations due to our reliance on limited personnel in the finance function. This control deficiency resulted in an audit adjustment to our financial statements, and could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties.

We do not have an independent Board of Directors, nor do we have a board member designated as an independent financial expert. The Board of Directors is comprised of four members who also serve as executive officers. As a result, there is a lack of independent oversight of the management team, lack of independent review of our operating and financial results, and lack of independent review of disclosures made by us; and documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete. There is a lack of formal documentation of internal control policies and procedures.

To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, the following:

Engaging consultants to assist in ensuring that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures;

Hiring additional qualified financial personnel;

Expanding our current board of directors to include additional independent individuals willing to perform directorial functions; and

Increasing our workforce in preparation for exiting the development stage and commencing revenue producing operations.

Since the recited remedial actions will require that we hire or engage additional personnel, these material weaknesses may not be overcome in the near-term due to our limited financial resources. Until such remedial actions can be realized, we will continue to rely on the limited advice of outside professionals and consultants. These initiatives will be subject to our ability to obtain sufficient future financing and subject to our ability to start generating revenue.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

Our officers have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of July 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon its assessment, management concluded that, as of July 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles. We are in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address our material weaknesses in our internal controls.

Management has identified specific remedial actions to address the material weaknesses described above:

Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by augmenting our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions and preparation of tax disclosures. We plan to mitigate the segregation of duties issue by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once we have achieved positive cash flow from operations and/or have raised significant additional working capital; and improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including cash disbursements and quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

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 an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the year ended July 31, 2023 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
