ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation, (f/k/a Aureus, Inc.) (“Yuengling’s,” “YCRM,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 19, 2013, under the name “Aureus Incorporated.” We were initially organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the state of Nevada. Effective December 15, 2017, we changed our name to “Hohme, Inc.,” and, effective February 7, 2019, we changed our name to “Aureus, Inc. and on September 14, 2021, the Company changed their name to Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation”. We are currently active in the state of Nevada.

 

We are a food brand development company that builds and represents popular food concepts throughout the United States and international markets. Management is highly experienced at business integration and re-branding potential. With little territory available for the older brands, we intend to bring fresh, innovative brands with great potential. Our brands will be unique as we focus on niche markets that are still in need of development.

With little territory available for the older brands, we intend to bring fresh innovative brands that have great potential to our customers. Our brands will be unique in nature as we focus on niche markets that are still in need of development.

 

Our Website

 

www.yuenglingsicecream.com

 

Our Business Objectives

 

Yuengling’s mission is to provide the highest quality ice cream and dairy-related products to its consumers, offer an enjoyable work environment for its employees, establish lasting relationships with its customers and vendors that are centered on trust, strive to surpass its customers’ expectations, always act ethically, and give back to the communities that support it.

 

Business Overview

Yuengling’s started as an American and family-owned company and is proud to maintain high brand recognition, quality & loyalty. Its products are considered in the super-premium category and are all-natural. Yuengling’s exceeds Whole Foods Market® Ingredient Quality Standards. Its products are kosher with no added growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics.

 

Yuengling’s is a strong, recognized brand with a long, positive family history and an experienced management team. We are smaller and more responsive than larger competitors.

 

When national brands continue to reduce the quality of their offerings and downsize their products, Yuengling’s products compare favorably and provide good “value” to our customers. We offer innovative new products and flavors.

 

Operating Strategy

 

Yuengling’s retail operating strategy is three-phased, centering on (1) product development, (2) achieving acceptance in a defined core area, and (3) expanding our operations once specific volume and metrics are attained. We are currently in the early stages of phase two.

 

 

 

 

 1 
 

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

Yuengling’s core marketing area is defined as the area from Scranton, Pennsylvania in the North, central Virginia in the South, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the West, and the New Jersey shore to the East. Our goal is to offer higher than average overall margins for retailers.

 

Our objective is to establish critical mass distribution and specific consumer acceptance levels in the defined core marketing area. We feel this will be accomplished through brand promotion at the store level and top-of-mind-focused marketing programs, including large-scale and small-scale direct consumer product sampling. Once we have sufficient market penetration in our core marketing area, we plan to expand and establish the brand outside this area. At the time of this filing, Yuengling’s Ice Cream is not yet available for sale to the public.

 

The Company plans to begin selling its three-gallon tubs to food service customers in summer of 2023. The Company also plans to begin selling its ice cream pints to distributors and retailers in the summer of 2023.

 

In the future, we anticipate working with several independent ice cream distributors, rather than a few large distributors, to distribute our products regionally and nationally. To help facilitate customer relationships, we may engage food brokers to act as our agents within designated territories or for specific accounts and receive commissions, which average 5% of net collected sales.

 

Our ice cream is shipped from our manufacturer to third-party cold storage facilities. In turn, our products are distributed from these cold storage facilities. We do not own, lease or otherwise maintain any vehicles involved in the shipping of our products.

 

Development Strategy

 

Our development strategy began with market entry in February 2014. The target was to establish distribution in retail grocery stores within the core marketing area with six-quart flavors of ice cream per store. Distribution is warehouse-based.

 

We believe our products are a slight bargain compared to super-premium brands such as Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs and on par with other brands such as Gifford’s. Our promotional pricing strategy depends upon the retailer, with brand positioning as a super-premium offering. We sometimes engage in short-term Everyday Low Price (“EDLP”) program pricing to undermine the existing premium and super-premium players.

 

Production

 

Yuengling’s Ice Cream’s primary production facility has been Totally Cool, Inc. (“Totally Cool”) a high quality, modern, FDA-compliant facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. Our packaging consists of six quarts to a case, eight pints to a case, and three-gallon tubs. Totally Cool is a smaller ice cream production facility that produces ice cream and other frozen desserts for several local, regional, and national brands. Totally Cool’s size allows for smaller and more flexible production runs. We currently do not have a written agreement with Totally Cool; but rather, we order our products as needed pursuant to purchase orders. We do not anticipate that we would encounter any material difficulty in obtaining alternative production sources, at a comparable cost, if our co-packer decides to terminate their relationships with us. Nevertheless, any disruption in supply could have a material adverse effect on our company.

 

Product Specifications

 

Our packaging consists of six quarts to a case and eight pints to a case. We offer super-premium butterfat (14%) basis with super-premium flavorings and super-premium ingredients. Our products have high solids, and mid-range weight (50% overrun/air) for a super-premium mouth feel.

 

Product History

 

In February 2014, Yuengling’s brand was launched in quart containers in 10 flavors. Quarts were the best way to gain access to shelf space without displacing an existing 48oz or 16oz products. In October 2014, we launched two seasonal flavors, and we added four new flavors in February 2015. In July 2015, we launched six-pint flavors in 800 Ahold stores and began 3-gallon tub food service sales. In May 2016, we were granted a trademark for “Black & Tan” for the ice cream category, and in September 2016, we were granted a trademark for “Butterbeer” for the ice cream category.

 

At the national level, our primary retail competitors are Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs. At the regional level, our direct retail competitors are Giffords (Maine), Graeter’s (Ohio), and Turkey Hill (Pennsylvania).

Primary Advantages

 

We believe we have a higher quality than most national brands, comparable to Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs. We have new and different flavors. We also believe we have better value to consumers in cost per ounce, strong brand loyalty, and close relationships with retailers.

 

American Sourced

 

  · Yuengling’s Ice Cream uses a high super-premium butterfat (14%) base-paired with America’s finest artisan flavorings and inclusions (12%);

 

  · Yuengling’s Ice Cream contains no added growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. Yuengling’s Ice Cream is rBST / rBGH free, kosher, and 11 of our 13 flavors are gluten-free

 

American Made

 

Yuengling’s Ice Cream’s primary production facility has been Totally Cool, a high quality, modern, FDA-compliant facility in Maryland. Yuengling’s recipe contains high solids and mid-range weight (50% overrun / air) for a gourmet mouth feel. We believe Yuengling’s Ice Cream is a Pennsylvania preferred brand and exceeds the Whole Foods Market® Ingredient Quality Standards.

 

American Served

 

Yuengling’s Ice Cream is offered at select universities, restaurants, professional stadiums, local grocers, and upscale convenience stores. We offer packaging for a range of consumers, including three-gallon tubs (food service), six quarts per case (food service + Retail + Online), and 8-Pints per case (Universities, Stadiums + Retail + Online).

 

Employees

 

We currently have three full-time employees, including officers and directors. We believe that we have been successful in attracting experienced and capable personnel. Mr. Dickson’s employment agreement prohibits him from competing with us or disclosing our proprietary information to non-authorized third parties. Our employees are not represented by any labor union.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  

Results of Operations for the Year Ended October 31, 2022, compared to the Year Ended October 31, 2021

 

Revenue
We had $0 in revenue for the year ended October 31, 2022, compared to $3,450 for the year ended October 31, 2021. The large decrease in revenue is due to a loss in retail food service customers. As the Company reorganized, it sold through its remaining inventory and did not produce additional product while it worked on plans to relaunch the Yuengling’s Ice Cream brand.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

We incurred $0 in costs of goods sold for the year ended October 31, 2022, compared to $148,014 for the year ended October 31, 2021. In the prior period we had a large write down of our inventory of approximately $136,000 due to expired or goods sold below cost.

 

General and administrative expenses

We had $89,687 of general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) for the year ended October 31, 2022, compared to $90,223 for the year ended October 31, 2021, a decrease of $536 or 0.6%.

 

Bad debt expense

During the year ended October 31, 2022, due to the uncertainty of the collection of our note receivable the Company has written the receivable off and recognized $80,000 of bad debt expense.

 

Consulting – related party

We had $0 of related party consulting expenses for the year ended October 31, 2022, compared to $85,000 for the year ended October 31, 2021. In the prior period we made a payment of $40,000 to Everett Dickson, our former CEO and two payments totaling $45,000 to Robert Bohorad, YICA’s former Chief Operating Officer and our current CEO.

 

Officer compensation

We had $63,000 of officer compensation for the year ended October 31, 2022, compared to $0 for year ended October 31, 2021. In the current period we began to compensate Mr. Bohorad, CEO, $5,000 per month.

Professional fees

We incurred $107,583 of professional fees for the year ended October 31, 2022, compared to $171,692 for the year ended October 31, 2021, a decrease of $64,109 or 37.3%. Professional fees generally consist of audit, legal, accounting and investor relation service fees. The decrease is due to a decrease in investor relation expense of approximately $70,000, which was offset by small increases in all other professional fees.

 

Other income (expense)

For the year ended October 31, 2022, we had total other expense of $141,082, compared to total other income of $110,973 for the year ended October 31, 2021. In the current period we incurred $108,677 of interest expense, which included $27,978 of debt discount amortization, earned $174 of interest income and recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $80,637. We also incurred additional expense of $186,886 for the issuance of convertible debt and a gain of $73,670 for the change in the fair value of derivatives. In the prior period we incurred $176,157 of interest expense, which included $93,750 on debt discount amortization, earned $738 of interest income, recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $151,418 and a loss on conversion of debt of $26,000. We also incurred additional expense of $59,028 for the issuance of convertible debt and a prepayment penalty on that debt of $17,819.

 

Net loss

We incurred a net loss of $481,352 for the year ended October 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $602,452 for the year ended October 31, 2021. Our net loss decreased due to reasons discussed above.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash flow from operations

Cash used in operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2022 was $268,238 compared to $416,801 of cash used in operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2021.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation (“the Company”) as of October 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2022, 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 October 31, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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 an accumulated deficit, net losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These factors, among others, 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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Accounting for Embedded Conversion Features on Notes Payable — Refer to Notes 2 and 8 to the financial statements

 

Description of the Critical Audit Matter

 

The Company has issued several notes payable during the year with conversion rates that are adjustable at a discounted rate to public trading prices near the conversion date. The terms allow for variable amounts of shares to be converted for a set dollar value; this and other factors require the embedded conversion feature to be accounted for as a derivative and revalued at the conversion date or each period end if still outstanding. Calculations and accounting for the notes payable and embedded conversion features require management’s judgments related to initial and subsequent recognition of the debt and related features, use of a valuation model, and value of the inputs used in the selected valuation model.

 

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

 

Our audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for embedded conversion features on notes payable included the following:

 

·We confirmed a selection of notes payable and related terms, including notes paid off during the year.
·We performed an independent assessment of the appropriate valuation model for derivatives, independent calculations based on the binomial model, and compared the Company’s results to a reasonable range.
·We analyzed notes payable and derivatives and determined if there were unusual transactions related to notes payable and evaluated the appropriate accounting treatment for such transactions.
·We tested substantially all transactions related to notes payable and all related matters including embedded conversion features.

YUENGLING’S ICE CREAM CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2022

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation, (f/k/a Aureus, Inc.) (“Yuengling’s,” “YCRM,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 19, 2013, under the name “Aureus Incorporated.” We were initially organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the state of Nevada. Effective December 15, 2017, we changed our name to “Hohme, Inc.,” and, effective February 7, 2019, we changed our name to “Aureus, Inc. and on September 14, 2021, the Company changed their name to Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation”. We are currently active in the state of Nevada.

 

We are a food brand development company that builds and represents popular food concepts throughout the United States and international markets. Management is highly experienced at business integration and re-branding potential. With little territory available for the older brands, we intend to bring to our customers fresh innovative brands that have great potential. All of our brands will be unique in nature as we focus on niche markets that are still in need of development.

 

We operate two lines of business. Through our subsidiary, YIC Acquisitions Corp. (“YICA”), we acquired the assets of Yuengling’s Ice Cream in June 2019. YICA produces and sells high-quality ice cream without artificial colors, flavoring, or preservatives and no added hormones.

 

In September 2020, we entered into the micro market segment and launched our second business line, Aureus Micro Markets (“AMM”). Closely tied to the vending machine industry, Micro Markets look and feel like modern convenience stores while functioning with the ease and efficiency of vending foodservice and refreshment services.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the years ended October 31, 2022 or 2021.

 

Restricted Cash

The Company has an obligation to transfer $50,000 to Mid Penn Bank as security pursuant to the Agreement of Sale and Security Agreement with Mid Penn Bank and Yuengling Ice Cream Corp, by February 28, 2023. If the funds are not transferred by February 28, 2023, the Bank the has option to call the loan and to require the Company to pay any attorney’s fees incurred.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022.

 

 

 

 

 F-7 
 

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary YIC Acquisitions Corp. All material transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The Company periodically assesses if any of the inventory has expired or if the value has fallen below cost. When this occurs, the Company recognizes an expense for inventory write down. Total inventories at October 31, 2022 and 2021 were $56,212 and $56,212, respectively. Inventory consists of lids for pint size containers. They are stored in plastic bags inside of sealed cardboard boxes so are considered usable.  The company’s plan is to run production and use them in the next 6-9 months.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. As of October 31, 2022 and 2021, there are 44,490,234 and 20,472,145 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, if the Preferred A were to be converted. As of October 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

 

Stock-based Compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 allows companies to account for nonemployee awards in the same manner as employee awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible notes to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

 

Fair Value Measurements

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. ASC Topic No. 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as described below:

 

Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates.

 

Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.

 

 

 

 

 F-8 
 

 

The following required disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows: Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. The items are generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations of their fair values.

 

The carrying amounts of Notes Payable approximate the fair value as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

 

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2022 and 2021: 

                                 
Description   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Gains  
Derivative   $     $     $ 247,034     $ 73,670  
Total   $     $     $ 247,034     $ 73,670  

 

 

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2021:

 

Description   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Gains  
Derivative   $     $     $     $ 14,875  
Total   $     $     $     $ 14,875  

 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to tax net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of these differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled, as well as operating loss carryforwards. 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 that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term.

 

Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of October 31, 2022, and 2021, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported.

  

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

 

 

 

 F-9 
 

 

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery. YIC Acquisitions Corp (Yuengling’s Ice Cream) generates its revenue through the sale of pints to retailers, through the online sales of pints directly to consumers, and through the sale of 3 gallon tubs to food service establishments, such as restaurants, stadiums, and universities. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery or, for online sales, at the time of the transaction. Retailers and food service customers’ terms are generally 15 or 30 days. Online sales are paid via credit card and funds are generally received within 30 days.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company has chosen the early adoption of ASU 2020-06. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. If the standard was not early adopted the Company would have had to recognize a beneficial conversion feature on a convertible note in the amount of $87,222. The full amount would have been recognized as interest expense as of October 31, 2022, as the loan was exchanged for a new convertible note in October 2022.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements 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 has an accumulated deficit of $4,032,125, had a net loss of $481,352, and net cash used in operating activities of $268,238 for the year ended October 31, 2022. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock and/or debt financing is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. These conditions and the ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

 

NOTE 4 - PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT

 

Property and Equipment are first recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows between three and five years.

 

Long lived assets, including property and equipment, to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

 

 

 

 F-10 
 

 

Maintenance and repair expenses, as incurred, are charged to expense. Betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts with any gain or loss on the disposition included as income.

 

Property and equipment stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation consisted of the following: 

         
   October 31,
2022
   October 31,
2021
 
Property and equipment  $30,300   $30,300 
Less: accumulated depreciation        
Property and equipment, net  $30,300   $30,300 

 

Depreciation Expense

Property and equipment consist of shelving and racks purchased for the Aureus Micro Markets business, which has been temporarily put on hold. As of October 31, 2022, the Company’s fixed assets have not yet been placed in service. Depreciation will begin on the date the assets are placed into service. If the Company does not pursue the Micro Markets business it may be able to use the shelving and racks in its current business.

 

NOTE 5 – LOAN RECEIVABLE

 

On May 17, 2022, the Company and Revolution Desserts, LLC (“Revolution”) terminated the Definitive Agreement entered into on April 30, 2022.

NOTE 11 – PREFERRED STOCK

 

Series A Preferred

The Company has designated Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a par and stated value of $0.001 per share. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends.

 

Except as otherwise required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation and except as set forth below, the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote together with the shares of Common Stock and other voting securities of the Corporation as a single class and, regardless of the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding and as long as at least one of such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding shall represent Sixty Six and Two Thirds Percent (66 2/3%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or action by written consent of shareholders. Each outstanding share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall represent its proportionate share of the 66 2/3% which is allocated to the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The entirety of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as such time shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into two thirds of the after conversion outstanding fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Each individual share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock at a ratio determined by dividing the number of shares of Series A Convertible Stock to be converted by the number of shares of outstanding pre-conversion Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Such initial Conversion Ratio, and the rate at which shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock. As of October 31, 2022, there are 5,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock owned by the Mr. Dickson.

 

 

 

 F-14 
 

 

As of October 31, 2022, the Company has preferred stock to be issued in the amount of $392,022. As of October 31, 2022, the preferred Series A can be converted at $0.0044 per share, into 89,095,909 shares of common stock. As of the balance sheet date and the date of this report, these shares have not been issued to the Purchaser. S99-3A(2) ASR 268 requires preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable (1) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (2) at the option of the holder, or (3) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Given that there is an unknown amount of preferred shares to be issued, cash has been repaid and the preferred shares are convertible at the option of the holder, the Company determined that mezzanine treatment appears appropriate. As such, the Company feels these securities should be classified as Mezzanine equity until they are fully issued.

The Series B preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock at the option of the holder at a 35% discount to the lowest closing price for the thirty days prior to conversion.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAX

 

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 Company is using the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% and 5% estimated state tax.

 

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following October 31: 

          
   2022   2021 
Federal income tax benefit attributable to:          
Book income  $(125,200)  $(126,500)
Related party accrual   (10,700)    
Other nondeductible expenses   (11,900)    
Less: valuation allowance   147,800    126,500 
Net provision for Federal income taxes  $   $ 

 

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

          
   2022   2021 
Deferred tax asset attributable to:          
Net operating loss carryover  $(244,100)  $(371,200)
Related party accrual   10,700     
Less: valuation allowance   233,400    371,200 
Net deferred tax asset  $   $ 

 

 

 

 

 F-15 
 

 

At October 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $939,000 that maybe offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the October 31, 2022 or 2021 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act establishes new tax laws that affects 2018 and future years, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

 

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

 

ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. Topic 740 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 Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of October 31, 2022, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Nevada.

The initial term of the Agreement runs through November 30, 2027, with an option to extend for an additional five years.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible to design or supervise a process that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The policies and procedures include:

 

  · maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
     
  · reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and
     
  · reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

 

 

 

 11 
 

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period October 31, 2022.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal year October 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting were not effective at that reasonable assurance level. The following aspects of the Company were noted as potential material weaknesses:

 

  · Due to our size and limited resources, we currently do not employ the appropriate accounting personnel to ensure (a) we maintain proper segregation of duties, (b) that all transactions are entered timely and accurately, and (c) we properly account for complex or unusual transactions;
     
  · Due to our size and scope of operations, we currently do not have an independent audit committee in place;
     
  · Due to our size and limited resources, we have not properly documented a complete assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Attestation Report of Independent Public Accounting Firm

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because as a smaller reporting company we are not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws both provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors, to the fullest extent, permitted by Nevada law.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock.  Officers, directors and 10% or greater beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  Based upon a review of those forms and representations regarding the need for filing for the year ended October 31, 2022, we believe all necessary forms have been filed.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

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

 

  · any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
     
  · any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
     
  · being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or to be associated with any person practicing in banking or securities activities;
     
  · being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a Federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
     
  · being subject of, or a party to, any Federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of any Federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
     
  · being subject of or party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no familial relationships among any of our directors or officers.

 

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, which has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”

  

Board Committees

 

Our board does not currently have a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee due the board’s limited size and the Company’s limited operations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our Board, it is not practical for us to have committees other than those described above, or to have more than two directors on such committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and our committees and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

Director Compensation

 

At this time, our directors do not receive cash compensation for serving as members of our Board of Directors. The term of office for each director is one year or until his/her successor is elected at our annual meeting and qualified. The duration of office for each of our officers is at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no nominating, auditing committee, or compensation committee. Therefore, the selection of a person or election to the Board of Directors was neither independently made nor negotiated at arm’s length.

 

During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, our sole director, Mr. Dickson, received no compensation for director services.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End. There were no outstanding equity awards as of October 31, 2022.

 

Board Committees

 

We do not currently have any committees of the Board of Directors. Additionally, due to the nature of our intended business, the Board of Directors does not foresee a need for any committees in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth, as of January 25, 2023, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by: (i) each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each director or nominee for director of our Company, (iii) each of the executives, and (iv) our directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each shareholder is c/o our company at our principal office address:

 

Name and Address of Beneficial Owner (1) (2)   Common Stock
Beneficially
Held
    Percent of
Class (3)
 
Named Executive Officers and Directors                
Everett M. Dickson     170,358,196 (3)     66.67%  
Robert C. Bohorad     30,000,000       11.7%  
                 
All Executive Officers and Directors as a group (2 Persons)     200,358,196       78.4%  
                 
5% or More Stockholders                
None                

 

  (1) Unless as otherwise indicated in the following table and the footnotes, our named executive officers and directors’ address in the following table is c/o Aureus Inc., One Glenlake Parkway #650, Atlanta, GA 30328.

 

  (2) Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) because of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the above table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power concerning the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of this Form 10.

 

  (3) In calculating any percentage in the following table of common stock beneficially owned by one or more persons named therein, the following table is based on 255,527,518 shares of common stock, consisting of 85,166,322 shares outstanding as of the filing date of this Form 10-K and 170,358,196 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Dickson. (The Shares A Preferred Stock are convertible into such number of shares of common stock resulting in two-thirds (66.67%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a post-conversion basis.)

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

During the year ended October 31, 2022, a $5,500 payment was mistakenly made to a Company controlled by Everett Dickson. The amount is to be repaid.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Company paid Robert Bohorad, the Company’s President and CEO, $22,000 for compensation. As of October 31, 2022, there is $41,000 of accrued compensation due to Mr. Bohorad.

 

In June 2022, Everett Dickson advanced the Company $6,000 for a general operating expense. The $6,000 was repaid the following month.

 

Director Independence

 

We currently do not have any independent directors, as the term “independent” is defined in Section 803A of the NYSE Amex LLC Company Guide. Since the OTC Markets does not have rules regarding director independence, the Board makes its determination as to director independence based on the definition of “independence” as defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and American Stock Exchange (“Amex”).
