NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN

The Company’s ability to continue operating as a “going concern” is dependent on its ability to increase revenues and raise sufficient additional working capital. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s grossing billing are continuing increased significantly since last year. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QOEG and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Statements in U.S. dollars:

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“dollar”). The dollar is the functional currency of the Company and the Company’s U.S. subsidiary. The financial statements of the non-US subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the methods mandated by ASC 830.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments originally purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These financial statements have not been subjected to an audit or review or compilation engagement, and no assurance is provided on them.

Stock based compensation:

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the ASC 718 “Shares-Based Compensation” FASB Accounting Standards Classification using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Foreign Currency:

The Company translates the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries from the local (functional) currencies to U.S. dollars. The rates of exchange at each fiscal year end are used for translating the assets and liabilities and the average monthly rates of exchange for each year are used for the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operations

Going Concern

Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this offering circular have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to increase revenues or raise additional capital as required. For the quarter ended February 28, 2023, the Company's gross billing were $2.02 Million, 244% increased compare to Feb 28, 2022.

Financings and Securities Offerings

Investing Activities.

Since inception, our principal sources of operating funds have been proceeds from equity financing including the sale of our Common Stock to initial investors known to management and principal shareholders of the Company. We do not expect that our current cash on hand will fund our existing operations. We will need to raise additional capital in order execute our business plan and growth goals for at least the next twelve-month period thereafter. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to execute a slower than planned growth path, reduce overhead and scale back its business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operational expansion and growth. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Business Strategy

Quality Online Education Group has founded in Aug 2018 in Ontario Canada with a global reach. We provide comprehensive online English lessons to students around the world. English education resource is unbalanced between areas. To address this unmet need, we have developed online and mobile education platforms, customized the content and optimized the marketing method to provide high quality yet affordable products that enable students around the world to take live online English lessons with native English-speaking teachers. We connect our students with highly qualified teachers who have gone through our rigorous selection and training process before they deliver lessons. We hire, train, and manage our tutors from North America and the Philippines.

Our market consists of students from K12 to adults. The lessons we provide are focused on the interaction and application of English.

We have successfully launched a direct selling model through Mommy Influencer in different part of Southeast Asia countries. This business model is cost-effective, saving us significant sales and marketing dollars and build a better cash flow outlook compared to the competitors who only use online advertisement. With the proper expansion of operations, coupled with the replication of our direct selling model to targeted areas around the world more than 200 cities around the globe, we expect to achieve magnitudes of exponential growth.

Company’s Plan of Operation.

We are launching small group lessons, where one teacher simultaneously teaches 2-4 students online. The one-to-many model has a lower unit price than other competitors, and may be affordable for more students yet yield a higher margin.

We intend to further develop our sales platform by entering additional cities in Southeast Asia and other countries in need of English teaching resources. Also, we plan to develop and launch new product lines such as the test preparation training for IELTS and non-English types. Our current student base covers Japan, Thailand, France and Germany. We anticipate a more significant profit margin through increasing the student retention rate and launching new product lines, like group lessons.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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 Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures to be ineffective as of November 30, 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the 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.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 (f) and 15d- 15 (f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.

Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our CEO, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

Due to our limited resources, the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist at February 28, 2023:

We believe that these material weaknesses primarily related, in part, to our lack of sufficient staff with appropriate training in GAAP and SEC rules and regulations with respect to financial reporting functions, and the lack of robust accounting systems, as well as the lack of sufficient resources to hire such staff and implement these accounting systems.

If and when our financial resources allow, we plan to take a number of actions to correct these material weaknesses including, but not limited to, establishing an audit committee of our Board of Directors comprised of three independent directors, adding experienced accounting and financial personnel and retaining third-party consultants to review our internal controls and recommend improvements.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibits 31.1 to this Quarterly Report is the Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Director. This Certification is required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 4 of this Quarterly Report, which you are currently reading, is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to above and in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
