FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The U. S.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report contains these types of statements. Words such as “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or “continue” or comparable terminology used in connection with any discussion of future operating results or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. All forward-looking statements reflect our present expectation of future events and are subject to a number of important factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

 

 

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Historical Development

 

Nova Star Innovations, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Maine on April 25, 1986, as Hystar Aerospace Marketing Corporation of Maine (“Hystar-Maine”). Hystar-Maine was formed to lease, sell and market the Hystar airship, a heavy-lift airship, and the Burket Mill, a waste milling device; however, the venture was found to be cost prohibitive and Hystar-Maine ceased such activities. On April 11, 2001, Hystar-Maine completed a change of domicile merger with Nova Star Innovations, Inc. for the sole purpose of changing Hystar-Maine’s domicile to the state of Nevada. On September 13, 2016, Nova Star Innovations, Inc. filed Articles of Domestication in the state of Wyoming, effectively moving the Company’s state of domicile from Nevada to Wyoming.

 

Our Business Plan

 

Our business plan is to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire an interest in a business opportunity. Our acquisition of a business opportunity may be made by an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of stock, or otherwise. We have very limited sources of capital, and we probably will only be able to take advantage of one business opportunity. As of the date of this filing we have not identified any business opportunity that we plan to pursue, nor have we reached any preliminary or definitive agreements or understandings with any person concerning an acquisition or merger.

At this time, management is unsure what effect the COVID-19 pandemic (the “Pandemic”) will have on our search for companies to combine with. Since we have minimal operations, the Pandemic has not caused any significant changes to our operations.

 

Based upon current economic conditions, management believes that it is possible, if not probable, for a company like ours, without many assets or liabilities, to negotiate a merger or acquisition with a viable private company. The opportunity arises principally because of the expensive legal and accounting fees and the length of time associated with the registration process of “going public.”

 

Our search for a business opportunity will not be limited to any particular geographical area or industry and includes both U.S. and international companies. Our management has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions and other factors. Our management believes that companies who desire a public market to enhance liquidity for current stockholders, or plan to acquire additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for cash, will be potential merger or acquisition candidates.

 

The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and extremely risky and will be made by management in the exercise of their business judgment. Our activities are subject to several significant risks which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have no operating business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management which will, in all probability, act without consent, vote, or approval of our stockholders. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify and merge with or acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to Nova Star and our stockholders. Should a merger or acquisition prove unsuccessful, it is possible management may decide not to pursue further acquisition activities and management may abandon our search and we may become dormant or be dissolved.

 

It is possible that the range of business opportunities that might be available for consideration by us could be limited by the fact that our common stockCommon Stock is not quoted to trade on any market. We cannot assure you that a market will develop or that a stockholder will be able to liquidate his/her/its investments without considerable delay, if at all. If a market develops, the liquidity of penny stock is affected by specific disclosure procedures required by rules to be followed by all broker-dealers, including but not limited to, determining the suitability of the stock for a particular customer, and obtaining a written agreement from the customer to purchase the stock. This rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell our securities in any market.

Investigation and Selection of Business Opportunities

 

We anticipate that business opportunities will come to our attention from various sources, including our officer and director,Director, our stockholders, professional advisors such as attorneys and accountants, securities broker-dealers, investment banking firms, venture capitalists, members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited proposals. Management expects that prior personal and business relationships may lead to contacts with these various sources.

 

We expect that our due diligence will encompass, among other things, meetings with the target business’s incumbent management and inspection of its facilities, as necessary, as well as a review of financial and other information which is made available to our management. This due diligence review may be conducted either by our management or by unaffiliated third parties we may engage. Our limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a target business before we consummate a business combination. We anticipate that we will rely upon funds provided by advances and/or loans from management and significant stockholders to conduct investigation and analysis of any potential target companies or businesses. We may also rely upon the issuance of our common stockCommon Stock in lieu of cash payments for services or expenses related to any analysis. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if we had more funds available to us, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the promoters, owners, sponsors or other persons associated with the target business seeking our participation.

 

Our management will analyze the business opportunities; however, Mr. Clayton, Director and President, is not a professional business analyst (See Part III, Item 10, below). He has not had experience with mergers and acquisitions of business opportunities and has not been involved with an initial public offering. Due to his limited experience with mergers and acquisitions, he may rely on principal stockholders or associates, or promoters or their affiliates to assist in the investigation and selection of business opportunities.

 

Certain conflicts of interest exist or may develop between the Company and Mr. Clayton because he operates his own company and currently devotes his attention to this business (See Item 10, below). He may devote his attention to other business interests although management time should be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through his exercise of judgment in a manner which is consistent with his fiduciary duties to us.

 

A decision to participate in a specific business opportunity may be made upon our management’s analysis of:

the quality of the business opportunity’s management and personnel,
the anticipated acceptability of its new products or marketing concept,
the merit of its technological changes,
the perceived benefit that it will derive from becoming a publicly held entity, and
numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze through the application of any objective criteria.
the quality of the business opportunity’s management and personnel,
the anticipated acceptability of its new products or marketing concept,
the merit of its technological changes,
the perceived benefit that it will derive from becoming a publicly held entity, and
numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze through the application of any objective criteria.

 

No one factor described above will be controlling in the selection of a business opportunity. Management will attempt to analyze all factors appropriate to each opportunity and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potential business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development. Thus, the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities will be extremely difficult and complex. Potential investors must recognize that because of our limited capital available for investigation and management’s limited experience in business analysis, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the business opportunity to be acquired.

 

In many instances, we anticipate that the historical operations of a specific business opportunity may not necessarily be indicative of the potential for future operations because of the possible need to substantially shift marketing approaches, significantly expand operations, change product emphasis, change or substantially augment management, or make other changes. We will be dependent upon the owners of a business opportunity to identify any such problems which may exist and to implement, or be primarily responsible for, the implementation of required changes.

Form of Acquisition

 

We cannot predict the manner in which we may participate in a business opportunity. Specific business opportunities will be reviewed as well as our needs and desires and those of the promoters of the opportunity. The legal structure or method deemed by management to be suitable will be selected based upon our review and our relative negotiating strength. Such methods may include, but are not limited to, leases, purchase and sale agreements, licenses, joint ventures and other contractual arrangements. We may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation or other forms of organization. We may be required to merge, consolidate or reorganize with other corporations or forms of business organizations. In addition, our present management and stockholders most likely will not have control of a majority of our voting shares following a merger or reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, our existing directorDirector may resign and new directorsDirectors may be appointed to fill those vacancies without any vote by our stockholders.

 

We likely will acquire our participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of common stockCommon Stock or other securities. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in that circumstance retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those persons who were our stockholders prior to such reorganization.

 

In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.

 

The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete a business combination cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the indemnification and evaluation of a prospective business combination that is not ultimately completed may result in a loss to the Company. Also, fees may be paid in connection with the completion of all types of acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers. These fees are usually used to pay legal costs, accounting costs, finder’s fees, consultant’s fees and other related expenses. In the event that any such fees are paid, they may become a factor in negotiations regarding any potential acquisition or merger by us. We have no present arrangements or understandings respecting any of these types of fees.

 

Significant stockholders may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of all or any portion of their common stockCommon Stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed reorganization, merger or acquisition. It is not anticipated that any such opportunity will be afforded to other stockholders or that such other stockholders will be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction. We have not adopted any procedures or policies for the review, approval or ratification of any related party transactions.

 

In the event we merge or acquire a business opportunity, the successor company will be subject to our reporting obligations. This is commonly referred to as a “back door registration.” A back door registration occurs when a non-reporting company becomes the successor of a reporting company by merger, consolidation, exchange of securities, acquisition of assets or otherwise. This type of event requires the successor company to file a Form 8-K current report with the SEC which provides the same kind of information about the company to be acquired that would appear in a registration statement, including audited and pro forma financial statements. This regulation may eliminate many of the perceived advantages of these types of transactions. Accordingly, we may incur additional expense to conduct due diligence and present the required information for the business opportunity in any report.

 

Also, the SEC may elect to conduct a full review of the successor company and may issue substantive comments on the sufficiency of disclosure related to the company to be acquired.

 

In addition, regulations also deny the use of Form S-8 for the registration of securities of a shell company and limit the use of Form S-8 to a reorganized shell company until the expiration of 60 days from when any such entity is no longer considered to be a shell company. This prohibition could further restrict opportunities for the Company to acquire companies that may already have stock option plans in place that cover numerous employees. In such an instance, there may be no exemption from registration for the issuance of securities in any business combination to these employees, thereby necessitating the filing of a registration statement with the SEC to complete any such reorganization, and incurring the time and expense costs that are normally avoided by “back door” registrations.

Competition

 

We expect to encounter substantial competition in our effort to locate attractive business opportunities. Business development companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations, venture capital affiliates of large industrial and financial companies, small investment companies, and wealthy individuals will be our primary competition. Many of these entities will have significantly greater experience, resources and managerial capabilities than we do and will be in a better position than we are to obtain access to attractive business opportunities. We also will experience competition from other public reporting companies, many of which may have more funds available for such opportunities.

 

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business

 

We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and to strengthen auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, and compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.

 

We are subject to the Exchange Act of 1934 and are required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K. We are also subject to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act which requires the Company to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to our stockholders at a special or annual meeting of stockholders or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14A; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.

 

Employees

 

We currently have no employees. We do not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees so long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities. We will determine the need for employees based upon a specific business opportunity, if any.

 

Available Information

 

We currently do not have a Company website.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, we are not required to provide the information for this Item.

Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, we are not required to provide the information for this Item.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

The Company recognizes the importance of cybersecurity and the potential risks associated with cyber incidents. As a small entity with simple operations managed solely by our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), we have not implemented formal cybersecurity policies or procedures. However, we take reasonable steps to protect our electronic data and ensure the security of our operations.

Given the size of our company and the nature of our operations, we believe the risk of significant cybersecurity incidents is minimal. Our CEO is responsible for overseeing all aspects of our business, including the management of cybersecurity risks. We utilize standard commercial software for business operations, which includes basic security features such as password protection and data encryption.

To date, we have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents, and there has been no known unauthorized access to our systems. We will continue to monitor our cybersecurity risk profile and take appropriate actions to safeguard our data and systems.

Should any material cybersecurity incidents occur, we will assess the situation and disclose the nature, scope, and potential impact of the incident in accordance with SEC regulations.

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

 

Executive Overview

 

We are an emerging growth company that has not recorded revenues for the past two fiscal years. We are dependent upon financing to continue basic operations. Management intends to rely upon advances or loans from management, significant stockholders or third parties to meet our cash requirements, but we have not entered into written agreements guaranteeing funds and, therefore, no one is obligated to provide funds to us in the future. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plan is to combine with an operating company to generate revenue.

 

If we obtain a business opportunity, then it may be necessary to raise additional capital. We likely will sell our common stockCommon Stock to raise this additional capital. We anticipate that we would issue such stock pursuant to exemptions to the registration requirements provided by federal and state securities laws. The purchasers and manner of issuance will be determined according to our financial needs and the available exemptions to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. We do not currently intend to make a public offering of our stock. We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock,Common Stock, then our stockholders may experience dilution in the value per share of their common stock.Common Stock.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have not recorded revenues from operations since inception. We have not established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs and we have relied primarily upon related parties to pay for our operating expenses.

 

At December 31, 2021 our2023 we had cash decreasedof $17,265 compared to $265 compared to $2,015cash at December 31, 20202022 as a result of limited financing activities. Our total liabilities increased to $393,436$481,731 for 20212023 compared to $362,088$427,853 at December 31, 2020. This increase in total liabilities primarily represents notes payable of $5,550, notes – payable related party of $6,000 and an increase of $19,298 in accrued interest for all notes payable.2022. (See “Commitments and Obligations,” below.)

 

We intend to obtain capital from management, significant stockholders and/or third parties to cover minimal operations; however, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available. Our ability to continue as a going concern during the long term is dependent upon our ability to find a suitable business opportunity and acquire or enter into a merger with such company. The type of business opportunity with which we acquire, or merge, will affect our profitability for the long term.

 

During the next 12 months the Company anticipates incurring additional costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through advances and loans provided by management, significant stockholders or third parties. We may also rely on the issuance of our common stockCommon Stock in lieu of cash to convert debt or pay for expenses.

Results of Operations

 

We had no revenues during 20212023 and 2020.2022. We recorded a slight increase in general and administrative expense for December 31, 20212023, compared to December 31, 2020.2022. Interest expense for notes payable and notes payable – related party increased from $17,936$20,417 at December 31, 20202022, to $19,298$21,977, for December 31, 2021.2023. Our net loss increased from $31,536$34,417 to $33,098$36,877 for December 31, 20212023, compared to December 31, 2020.2022. Management expects net losses to continue until we acquire or merge with a business opportunity.

Commitments and Obligations

 

At December 31, 2021,2023, we reported notes payable of $104,726$109,726 and notes payable – related party of $144,450.$186,350. The notes payable represent services received, as well as cash advances received. All of the notes payable are non-collateralized, carry interest at 8% and are due on demand. Accrued interest for all notes payable was $137,260$179,655 and $117,962$157,677 at December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively.

 

We recorded accounts payable – related party of $6,000 and $6,000 for 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively. These accounts payable relate to consulting services and professional services provided by a stockholder.

 

We owed vendors $1,000 and $500 for 2021 and 2020, respectively.

At December 31, 20212023, two lenders represent in excess of 95% of the Company’s accounts payable and notes payable.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). A company qualifies as an emerging growth company if it has total annual gross revenues of less than $1.07 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year and, as of December 8, 2011, had not sold common equity securities under a registration statement. Under the JOBS Act we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. See “Note 3 – Income Taxes” in the notes to our financial statements for schedules that describe the new rates adjusted in the period enacted.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Nova Star Innovations, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Nova Star Innovations, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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 December 31, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has limited assets, negative working capital, and net losses since inception. 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 audit, 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.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters 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. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 20212023 and 20202022

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a. Organization & Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company was incorporated in Maine on April 25, 1986, as Hystar Aerospace Marketing Corporation of Maine. On April 11, 2001, the Company merged with Nova Star Innovations, Inc. (Nova Star) a Nevada corporation, in a domicile merger.

 

b. Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

c. 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.

 

d. Earnings Per Share

 

The computation of earnings per share of common stockCommon Stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.

      
 For the Years Ended

 2021 2020 2023 2022
Net Loss (numerator) $(33,098) $(31,536) $(36,877) $(34,417)
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding (denominator)  18,000,000   18,000,000   18,000,000   18,000,000 
Basic Loss per Common Share $(0.00) $(0.00) $(0.00) $(0.00)

 

For the years ended December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the Company had no potentially dilutive common stockCommon Stock equivalents issued.

 

e. Concentrations of Risk

 

Two lenders represent in excess of 95% of the Company’s Accounts Payable and Notes Payable for the fiscal years ended December 31, 20212023, and December 31, 2020.2022.

 

f.g. Recent Pronouncements

 

The Company has evaluated Recent Accounting Pronouncements and has determined that all such pronouncements either do not apply or their impact is insignificant to the financial statements.

 

g.h. Fair Value Measurements

 

If required by authoritative literature, the Company would account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

The cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and accrued interest have fair values that approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

17

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited assets, has a negative working capital of $393,171464,466 and has incurred losses of $420,171491,466 since inception. Its activities have been limited for the past several years and it is dependent upon financing to continue operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is management’s plan to acquire or merge with other operating companies.

 

18

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which 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.  

 

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 basis.  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 currently has no issues creating timing differences that would mandate deferred tax expense. Net operating losses would create possible tax assets in future years. Due to the uncertainty of the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, a valuation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate.  A provision for income taxes has not been made due to net operating loss carry-forwards of $420,171491,466 and $387,073454,588 as of December 31, 20212023, and December 31, 2020,2022, respectively, which may be offset against future taxable income through 2037. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements.

 

The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. The schedules below reflect the Federal tax provision, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance using the new rates adjusted in the period of enactment.

Deferred tax assets and the valuation account are as follows:

      
 For the Years Ended
December 31,
 For the Years Ended
December 31,
 2021 2020 2023 2022
Net operating loss carryforward (at 21%) $88,236  $81,285  $103,208  $95,463 
Valuation allowance  (88,236)  (81,285)  (103,208)  (95,463)
Deferred tax asset $  $  $    $   

 

18

A reconciliation of amounts obtained by applying the Federal tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income to income tax benefit is as follows:

   
  For the Years Ended
December 31,
  2021 2020
Federal tax benefit (at 21%) $6,951  $6,622 
Change in valuation allowance  (6,951)  (6,622)
  $  $ 

The impact of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act has been deemed to be insignificant on the deferred tax asset valuation.

     
  For the Years Ended
December 31,
  2023 2022
Federal tax benefit (at 21%) $7,745  $7,227 
Change in valuation allowance  (7,745)  (7,227)
  $—    $—   

 

The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

 

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 December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to a control deficiency. Specifically, during the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. Due to the size and operations of the Company we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another company.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our principal 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:

maintain records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
provide 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
provide 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.
maintain records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
provide 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
provide 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.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021,2023, management has relied on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO - 2013), “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013),” to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon that framework, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective due to the lack of additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information.

 

Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 20212023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Mark S. Clayton -- Mr. Clayton is the owner and President of Fitness Equipment Source, a company that wholesales exercise equipment. He has operated that business for over 20 years. He graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor’s degree in business management.

During the past ten years our executive officer has not been involved in any legal proceedings that are material to an evaluation of their ability or integrity; namely: (1) filed a petition under federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency laws, nor had a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing; (2) been convicted in a criminal proceeding or named subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) been the subject of 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 (4) been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any federal or state securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the SEC has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Since we have only one person serving as directorDirector and executive officer, and because we have minimal operations, we have not adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive and financial officers. Our boardBoard of directorsDirectors will revisit this issue in the future to determine if adoption of a code of ethics is appropriate. In the meantime, our management intends to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosure in our reports to the SEC and comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations.
