Potential Changes to Special Characteristics
One characteristic of the Company that could have a material impact on the future financial performance is the technology portfolio is large and can be developed into products in many different markets. If the company tries to develop too many potential products simultaneously it could face risks primarily stemming from resource dilution and strategic misalignment. Spreading resources too thin across multiple projects can lead to inadequate development, testing, and marketing of each product, potentially compromising quality and innovation. This overextension can result in a workforce that is overstretched and potentially less productive, as employees may struggle to maintain focus and momentum when juggling numerous projects. Financial resources also suffer; with capital divided across various initiatives, there may be insufficient funding to fully realize the potential of each product, leading to suboptimal outcomes or even project failures. Additionally, this approach can lead to a lack of strategic focus, as the company might struggle to align its product development efforts with its core competencies and market needs. In the absence of a clear and concentrated strategy, the company risks losing sight of its competitive advantages and market position, ultimately affecting its long-term sustainability and growth. We plan to approach the commercialization of our large technology portfolio in a systematic way to prioritize the opportunities to mitigate this risk as much as possible.
Additionally, some applications of our technology platforms are subject to regulation by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Food and Drug Administration. The primary risk involves compliance with regulations, which can be stringent and complex. The guidelines are designed to ensure that products do not harm the environment or public health, and failure to comply can result in significant legal and financial repercussions. This includes costly fines, mandatory recalls, and potential lawsuits. Moreover, the regulations are subject to change, requiring companies to be vigilant and adaptive, ensuring their products continually meet current standards. In addition to compliance risks, there is the challenge of time-to-market. The process of obtaining regulatory approval can be time-consuming, involving extensive testing and review periods. This delay can be problematic, especially in fast-moving markets, as it can hinder a company's ability to capitalize on new technologies or market trends.
The Company has also licensed a pending patent application for a key component of the technology platform and while patents offer legal protection for innovations, they also pose risks, especially during the application phase. Until a patent is granted, the innovation is not fully protected, which can lead to issues of intellectual property theft or infringement. Competitors may develop similar products, leading to patent disputes or the need for litigation to defend the intellectual property rights. This can be both costly and damaging to the company's reputation. Additionally, the process of obtaining a patent is not only expensive but also uncertain. There is no guarantee that a patent will be granted, and the process can take several years, during which competitors might leapfrog the technology or find alternative solutions. Furthermore, if the product needs to be altered to comply with updated agency regulations, it might also affect the scope or validity of the pending patent, adding another layer of complexity and risk.
Marketing and Sales Strategies
The Company's business strategy is designed to maximize the commercial potential of its three core technology platforms through a diversified approach to product distribution and market engagement. Our first model focuses on manufacturing end products and selling them directly to consumers via online channels. This approach allows us to maintain a direct relationship with our customer base, providing valuable insights into consumer preferences and behavior. By leveraging the power of e-commerce, we aim to establish a strong online presence, facilitating the global reach of our products while optimizing operational efficiency. This direct-to-consumer model also enables us to rapidly adapt to market trends and consumer feedback, ensuring that our products consistently meet the evolving needs of our customers.
Secondly, the Company plans to manufacture end products for sale through distribution channels. This strategy aims to broaden our market reach by tapping into established distribution networks, thereby gaining access to various retail and specialty outlets. By partnering with distributors, we can leverage their expertise and relationships to efficiently penetrate diverse markets, both domestically and internationally. This approach not only extends our geographic reach but also enhances brand visibility and recognition across a wider consumer base. Distributors provide a vital link in reaching customers who may not be accessible through online platforms, thereby ensuring our products are available to a more diverse audience.
Finally, our strategy includes manufacturing value-added ingredients for incorporation into other companies' end products, as well as licensing our technology to other companies for manufacturing and sales. These collaborative approaches allow us to tap into the existing market presence and production capabilities of established companies, leading to a rapid scale-up in production and distribution. Through such partnerships, we can access new customer segments and industries, further diversifying our revenue streams. Licensing our technology offers an additional avenue for revenue generation, allowing other companies to benefit from our innovations while providing us with a steady stream of licensing fees. This multipronged strategy not only maximizes the commercial potential of our technology platforms but also positions the company for robust growth and sustainability in the competitive marketplace. As we embark on this ambitious journey, we seek partners and investors who share our vision and commitment to innovation and excellence.

Risk Factors
We face risks and uncertainties that could affect us and our business as well as the industries in which we operate generally. These risks are outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our latest Offering Circular (beginning on page 6) filed with the SEC, which may be accessed at www.sec.gov, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under Regulation A. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time, and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance.
The Competition
The Company is on the cusp of commercializing its innovative technology platform, targeting a variety of markets and industries, each characterized by its unique set of competitive dynamics. This section will first outline some examples of the industry-specific risks associated with these diverse markets. Following this, we will explore the broader competitive landscape at the corporate level, highlighting the challenges and opportunities we face in our expansion and market penetration efforts.
In the realm of consumer-level odor control, our offerings are positioned against established brands such as Febreze, Glade, and Poo Pourri. These competitors predominantly focus on masking fragrances rather than directly neutralizing malodorants, presenting a significant point of differentiation for our products.
Turning to environmental odor control, we encounter traditional rivals in the form of chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide solutions. However, it's noteworthy that these substances pose considerable safety risks due to their hazardous nature. Additionally, we face competition from Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) absorbent granules, which, while initially effective, gradually lose efficacy and can eventually foster the growth of odor-causing microbes within filters.
In the air filter segment, our products contend with treatments like nanosilver and quats, which are touted for their contamination protection capabilities. Nevertheless, these treatments often fall short in combating a wide array of odors and microbes, a limitation our products aim to overcome.

Looking ahead, our Company is poised for a significant transformation in its financial trajectory, thanks to our strategic plan to commercialize our innovative technology platforms. We are targeting diverse and lucrative industries such as odor control, fire protection, and mobile device screen protection - sectors that not only have a substantial market demand but also present opportunities for technological innovation and differentiation. By tapping into these industries, we aim to unlock new revenue streams and drive substantial profits. Our focus will be on leveraging the unique aspects of our technology to meet specific market needs, thereby creating a competitive edge in these sectors.
9
The potential for profit generation in these areas is substantial. Odor control technology, for instance, has applications ranging from household products to industrial waste management, presenting a wide market scope. Fire protection technology, on the other hand, is critical in various sectors including construction, manufacturing, and consumer goods, offering opportunities for both B2B and B2C engagement. Similarly, the market for mobile device screen protection is continuously expanding, driven by the global increase in smartphone usage and the consumer's growing interest in protecting their investments. Our company’s innovative solutions in these areas are expected to resonate well with the market, driving significant sales and profitability. This shift from minimal operational income to significant profit generation will mark a pivotal phase in our company's growth and development.
Material Changes in Sales or Revenues
The income statements of our company accurately mirror its early stage, with working capital predominantly sourced through shareholder advances. However, a notable transformation in our financial structure was observed in the fiscal year 2023, primarily attributed to the acquisition of three major technology licenses. These licenses form the cornerstone of our newly established technology platforms and are pivotal to our anticipated future profitability. The acquisitions not only augmented our inventory with essential raw materials but also led to the creation of substantial intangible assets. The funding for these acquisitions was primarily secured through the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock, supplemented by a portion of cash.
Specifically, the technology license for our fire safety technology contributed an intangible asset valued at $500,000 to our balance sheet. Additionally, two strategic acquisitions, one for SiO2 coatings and the other for halogen coatings, collectively resulted in intangible assets amounting to $396,113. These assets, integral to our technology portfolio, are currently being amortized over a 20-year period, reflecting our long-term commitment to and confidence in the value they bring to our company. This strategic investment in intellectual property underlines our dedication to fostering innovative technologies and our focus on long-term growth and profitability.
Capital Commitments
The Company currently holds no substantial commitments regarding capital expenditures. This indicates that, at present, there are no significant financial obligations tied to the acquisition of assets or large-scale investments.
However, this situation is likely to change following the conclusion of the fundraising efforts. It is anticipated that the company will engage in certain capital investments, such as manufacturing and R&D capabilities, once the fundraising is successfully completed. This will mark a new phase of financial planning and asset development for the Company.
Plan of Operations for Non-Revenue-Generating
The primary use of the capital over the next 12 months will be to establish and scale up manufacturing capabilities. This is a critical step in commercializing our technology, as it will enable us to produce at a volume necessary to meet market demand. Additionally, the funding will be allocated towards obtaining necessary performance testing, certifications, and regulatory approvals, which are crucial for market entry, especially in industries that are heavily regulated. This process will ensure that our products not only meet the highest standards of quality and safety but also comply with industry-specific regulations. Furthermore, a portion of the capital will be dedicated to strengthening our supply chain and logistics framework, ensuring that we can deliver our products efficiently and reliably to our customers.
Finally, a significant portion of the raised capital will be invested in marketing and sales efforts. Building brand awareness and establishing a market presence are essential for the successful launch of our products. We plan to implement a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes digital marketing, industry events, and strategic partnerships. Sales efforts will be focused on both direct-to-consumer channels and building relationships with distributors and retailers, which are key to accessing broader markets. This dual approach will allow us to not only reach our end-users directly but also tap into established distribution networks, thereby maximizing our market reach. In summary, the capital from this offering will be the catalyst that transforms our extensive intellectual property portfolio into a suite of commercially viable products, setting the stage for revenue growth and long-term success in the market. We do not believe it will be necessary to raise additional funds within the next six months to implement this strategic plan.
Impact of Trends on Capital Requirements
Currently, the sales figures presented in the financial statements are relatively low. This minimal sales performance, however, does not fully reflect the company's ongoing efforts in business development. The team has been actively involved in various initiatives aimed at expanding the company's reach and enhancing its market presence. These efforts, though not immediately apparent in current financial outcomes, are laying the groundwork for future growth and revenue generation.
On a promising note, the Company has recently entered into a distribution agreement with a firm specializing in odor remediation and another for food security. These partnerships are expected to yield positive financial results in upcoming periods, especially with planned investments in sales and marketing strategies. Additionally, there are multiple potential distribution opportunities being explored in other markets, such as food preservation and adult incontinence. These markets are showing encouraging trends, driven by factors such as the aging population fueling the adult incontinence market and increasing concerns over food shortages. These industry dynamics present significant opportunities for growth and are aligned with the Company's strategic direction.
10
The Company's investigations and conversations about pricing so far indicate that in our intended markets, there is sufficient flexibility in how much customers are willing to pay for our added benefits. This suggests that we can achieve profitability at our current cost projections.

Item 5. Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions
A relatively small group of executives and directors own a large portion of the issued and outstanding shares of Megola, Inc.. Consequently, these shareholders can control the operations of the Company and will have the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including, but not limited to:
•
Election of the Board of Directors,
•
Removal of any Director(s),
•
Removal of any Director(s),
•
Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination.
Thus, a small group of executives and directors will have complete control over the Company’s management and affairs. Accordingly, their ownership may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for the Common Stock.
Related Party Transactions
During the Company’s last two fiscal years and through the date of this filing (the “Reporting Period”), described below are certain transactions or series of transactions between us and certain related persons.
Disclosed are transactions, or proposed transactions, which could have a material impact on our operations, in which any directors, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of the outstanding common, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest. Transactions that would have a material impact on our operations are defined as those valued at the lesser of $120,000 or the average of 1% of our total assets over the last two fiscal years.

Prior to the appointment of a custodian in 2018, management had agreed verbally to retire the debt payable to 1863942 Ontario Corporation by the issuance of certain shares, however, the shares were never issued. The amount was previously reflected on the balance sheets as “Due to Shareholder” and was non-interest bearing and due on demand.
On November 26, 2020, the Company and 1863942 Ontario Corporation agreed to enter into a formal written promissory note with respect to the total amount due of $205,184 and executed an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”). The Note bears no interest and is convertible at any time five days after the issuance date at the election of the holder into shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.0025 per share.

At March 31, 2024 $31,149 remained outstanding and is reflected on the balance sheet as accounts payable.
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officer(s), director(s) and significant stockholders. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of an appropriate committee of our Board of Directors. On a moving forward basis, our Board of Directors will continue to approve any related party transactions.

However, the shortfall must be made up the following year or the Agreement becomes non-exclusive. Liquidnano failed to pay two invoices for sales made in 2024 and was sent a Default Notice on December 31, 2023 which gave them 90 days to pay the outstanding invoices. The payments were not made and the Agreement was terminated on March 30, 2024.

The agreement has a term of 24 months, renewal for consecutive 12-month periods subject to STAT meeting certain minimum purchase commitments.

Should the volume targets not be met the agreement will become non-exclusive for the remaining term of the agreement. Any sales by the Company in the Territory or by STAT outside of the Territory, the Company will pay STAT a commission fee of 10% of all such sales and the sales will be included in the minimum purchase commitments. The product included in the agreement is MedeSol Cleaner Deodorizer. The agreement was amended on November 14, 2023 to change the Effective Date of the agreement to November 13, 2023 which resulted in extending the time period for achieving the minimum targets above.
On August 8, 2024, the Company signed a new Representation Agreement with STAT Sanitizing which pays a 10% commission to STAT Sanitizing for sales of the OdorSol Cleaner Deodorizer and OdorSol Portable Toilet Deodorizer.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Megola, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for period of twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
·
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
·
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
·
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Megola, Inc.’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
·
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
·
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Megola Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Going Concern
As discussed in Note 2, certain conditions indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Megola, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Megola, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2023, and 2022, the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 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 March 31, 2023, and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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. 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.
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 suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are as described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matter
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.
In our audit of Megola, Inc.'s financial statements, we identified a critical audit matter related to the company's acquisition of intangible assets through three distinct agreements in FY 2023. This matter is critical due to the significance of these intangible assets, specifically intellectual property and patents, to the company's financial position and results of operations.
1. First Agreement - Exclusive License/Manufacturing with GS Capital Blends LLC:
Megola, Inc. entered into an agreement with GS Capital Blends LLC for the exclusive license and manufacturing of their product line, which includes intellectual property and patent-pending formulas. To address this matter, we obtained external confirmation to validate the existence of intangible assets, the legal transfer of rights as outlined in the agreement, exclusivity, and the estimated useful life of the acquired assets determined by management.
2. Second Agreement - Sale of Business Assets with RGB Wholesale:
The company acquired a specialty coffee product line from RGB Wholesale, but before the closing of FY 2022, management assessed that no future economic benefits would accrue from these assets. Consequently, an impairment decision was made. We perform audit procedures on this matter by evaluating the impairment assessment made by management and ensuring the proper recognition of the impairment loss in accordance with accounting standards.
3. Third Agreement - Exclusive Licensing/Manufacturing with Medosol Global Inc.:
Megola, Inc. entered into two separate agreements with Medosol Global Inc., acquiring exclusive licensing and manufacturing rights for intellectual property, formulas, and patent-pending technology. To validate the accuracy of this information, we relied on confirmations received from the respective owner/awardee of intangible assets, aligning our assessment with management's amortization schedule and the value recorded using the cost method. Further details on the intangible asset valuation can be found in Note 5 of the financial statements.
Our audit procedures included confirmation with the owners/awardees of the intangible assets, verification of management's assessment and amortization period, and comprehensive valuation procedures. This critical audit matter emphasizes the importance of these intangible assets to Megola, Inc.'s financial statements and the thoroughness of our audit procedures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the reported information.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these audited financial statements.
Megola, Inc. ("Megola" or "the Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name SuperiorClean, Inc. on March 29, 2001 to franchise and support third party carpet cleaning operations.
On September 25, 2003, the Company changed its name to Megola, Inc. pursuant to an acquisition agreement with Megola, Inc., an Ontario company (“Megola Canada”). On November 26, 2003, the Company and Megola Canada completed the agreement by way of a reverse acquisition. Megola Canada was formed to sell physical water treatment devices to a wide range of end-users in the United States, Canada and internationally under a license granted by Megola GmbH in Germany. Megola operated up until March 2016 when it no longer had the financial resources to continue to meet its ongoing obligations in the normal course and was subsequently struck in the State of Nevada.
The Company was reinstated on May 9, 2019 and on May 17, 2018, the 8th District Court for Clark County, Nevada, entered an Order granting the application for custodianship of Megola, Inc. to International Venture Society, LLC.
On September 24, 2018, Mr. William Eric Ottens paid $50,000 to the then controlling shareholder for 1 share of Special 2018 Series A Preferred Shares. This effected a change of control, and Mr. Ottens became the sole officer and director of the Company.
Current Information:
On September 25, 2018, the Company entered into a formal agreement to ratify the divestiture of the shares of our former controlled subsidiary, Megola Canada, in agreement with 1863942 Ontario Corporation, an entity controlled by the officer and director of Megola Canada who is also a shareholder of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company transferred the shares of Megola Canada to 1863942 Ontario Corporation and assumed certain debts incurred in prior periods in the amount of $205,184 which were paid by 1863942 Ontario Corporation.
On December 24, 2018, effective February 13, 2019, the Custodianship of Megola, Inc. in the State of Nevada was discharged.
On January 25, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company and the majority shareholder of the Company approved an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation whereby the Company designated a series of Preferred Shares, being Series D, E, F and G. Concurrently they approved the cancellation of the 2018 Special Series B and D shares of preferred stock upon their return to treasury. Further the Company received and approved the consents of Mr. Rodney Nettles and Mr. Bob Gardiner to serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Company, such action to take place upon the Company filing all required reports with OTCMarkets. The aforementioned Certificate of Amendment was filed with the State of Nevada on February 28, 2020.
On January 30, 2020, Mr. Ottens entered into an agreement with Mr. Rodney Nettles, whereunder he agreed to sell his 1 share of 2018 Special Series A Preferred Stock for cash consideration of $50,000. Further to this agreement, certain shareholders holding the 2018 Special Series B and the 2018 Special Series D Preferred stock agreed to cancellation of their shares for cumulative cash consideration of $15,000 from Mr. Nettles upon closing of the sale of the 2018 Special Series A Preferred Stock, all of which transactions are dependent upon the filing of all reports required with OTC Markets. The transactions contemplated by this agreement closed during the period covered by this report.
On May 21, 2020, Mr. William Eric Ottens resigned as the sole officer and director of the Company, and concurrently, Mr. Robert Gardiner was appointed President and a director and Mr. Rodney Nettles was appointed Secretary/Treasurer and a director. As at the date of this report Mr. Ottens continues to be the controlling shareholder of the Company.
On August 24, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Mr. Mark Suchy and Mr. Samuel Chiang to the Board of Directors of the Company.

Under the terms of the contract, the Company was required to pay $70,000 for the inventory and intellectual property related to Genie and to issue20,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock at $1 per share for a total of $20,000. During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold sufficient inventory and allocated all of the proceeds to fund the required payment of $70,000, and on December 10, 2020, the Company issued 20,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred stock.

Under the terms of the agreement B2D sold to the Company certain inventory on hand owned by B2D for the cash purchase price of $20,000 due and payable by March 31, 2021 and the issuance of 20,000 shares of Series F Preferred stock valued at $1.00 per share. B2D is a company producing and selling a line of hemp extract products designed for athletes and individuals leading an active lifestyle. The products are THC free and legal in all 50 states. During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold sufficient inventory and allocated all of the proceeds to fund the required payment of $20,000 and on December 10, 2020, the Company issued 20,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred stock.
On October 13, 2020, the share acquisition between Rodney Nettles and William Eric Ottens was finalized and 1 share of Special Series A Preferred stock was transferred to Mr. Nettles, thus effecting a change in control of the Company. Concurrently, a total of 10,000,000 shares of 2018 Special Series B Preferred stock were returned to the Company and canceled. On November 24, 2020 the holder of 20,000,000 shares of 2018 Special Series D Preferred Stock also returned their shares for cancelation. The impact of the return and cancelation of the 10,000,000 2018 Special Series B and 20,000,000 Special Series D Preferred stock was retroactively applied as at September 30, 2020.
On October 19, 2020, Mr. Paul Cohen and Mr. John MacLeod were appointed to the Advisory Board of the Company.
On July 19, 2021, two shareholders holding shares of Series A Preferred stock converted 1 share each and received 250 shares of common stock each increasing the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company by 500 shares.

The shares were issued on May 24, 2022, and valued at cost, and the Company capitalized the value of the supply agreement and licensing rights. Subsequently on March 31, 2023 the Company determined to fully impair this asset due to a delay in initiating operations under the acquired license.

On May 24, 2022, we issued a total of 75,000 Series D Preferred shares (the “Acquisition shares”), par value $10 per share in respect to the aforementioned agreement. We valued the transaction at cost on the acquisition date and capitalized the intellectual property as intangible assets. Subsequently we entered into an amendment to the original agreement (the “Amendment”) reducing the number of acquisition shares to 50,000, extending the terms of a lock-up provision (the “Lock-up”) with respect to the conversion of the Acquisition shares to December 31, 2024, and granting GS Capital Blends a coupon of 5% on the par value of the Acquisition shares, or $500,000 through termination of the Lock-up.

His authentic and data-driven approach to achieving aggressive business growth has also benefited his companies in the areas of capital raising and global expansion. Joshua holds a Master of Business Administration, with a focus in Technology Management, from the University of Washington where he continues to serve as a mentor for current students.
On February 3, 2023, the Company closed a Definitive Contract for the Exclusive License/Manufacturing of certain MedeSol Global Inc. product lines for a cash payment of $25,000, paid in November 2022, and the issuance of 25,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred stock, par value $10 per share. We valued the transaction at $275,000 including cash consideration on the acquisition date and capitalized $76,144 with respect to acquired inventory and allocated $198,856 to intangible assets.
On February 29, 2024, Simon Johnston was appointed to serve on the Board of Directors, Mark Suchy resigned as Secretary and Treasurer, and Joshua Johnston was appointed to serve as Secretary and Treasurer.
On March 31, 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to discontinue the SCARS and B2D lines of business and impair the remaining unamortized intangible assets and inventory.
The Company has $957 cash on hand, product inventory valued at $122,096 and accounts receivable of $4,060 for total current assets of $127,113 and current liabilities of $433,273 on March 31, 2024, and we have incurred operating losses to date. While sales have commenced with respect to acquired inventory and product licenses, funds generated from these sales were not sufficient to pay debt and fund ongoing operations.
The Company’s operations have been funded to date by management and shareholders, save for the acquisition costs to purchase certain assets, licensing and intellectual property rights which were partially funded from the sales of acquired product inventory and through the issuance of shares of the Company’s preferred stock. The Company expects this funding to continue until such time as it can acquire a profitable operating business or undertake a financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to receive this funding from management or shareholders, will be able to generate sufficient revenue from sales of products or that the funding received or generated will be sufficient to pay for its ongoing operations. Management’s plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern includes successful operation of its recently acquired assets in order to attain profitable operations, the development of a commercially viable business, and financing of the Company’s operations through sale of its common stock, as well as shareholder and management advances until such time as it has established profitable operations.
NOTE 3 - USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of these financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Fiscal Year-End
The Company has selected March 31 as its fiscal year-end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets reflect the purchase price of various intangible assets including intellectual property rights to various commercial products and process technology, patents, other rights and licensing agreements acquired. The Company has implemented the Business Combinations Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Intangible assets acquired are amortized over their useful life, which the Company has determined to be twenty (20) years. The Company expenses costs to maintain or extend intangible assets as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The Company recorded impairment of $29,538 and $15,000 with respect to certain intangible assets at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the fair value measurement rules, which provide guidance on the use of fair value in accounting and disclosure for assets and liabilities when such accounting and disclosure is called for by other accounting literature. These rules establish a fair value hierarchy for inputs to be used to measure fair value of financial assets and liabilities. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 (highest priority), Level 2, and Level 3 (lowest priority).
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the balance sheet date.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3—Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions as to what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available.
Investments are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. The carrying amount of receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
of lease receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short-term nature or effective interest rates, which constitutes level three inputs.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 260 – "Earnings Per Share," the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.
Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method), convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features, stock awards and stock options. The computation of loss per share for the comparative periods excludes potentially dilutive securities of underlying preferred shares if their inclusion would be antidilutive. During the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company recorded net losses and therefore, inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive and are excluded from the statement of profit and loss. The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities at fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. This generally occurs when a purchased product has been shipped to a customer from our fulfilment center at which time both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to and accepted by the customer, and the selling price has been collected.
Inventory
Inventories, which consist of finished, saleable goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and is adjusted to actual cost quarterly based on a physical count. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. We also hold raw materials in inventory which are valued at cost. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $6,926 and $0 of impairment to inventory.
Warranty
We do not record warranty liabilities at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred under the terms of the applicable limited warranty as all component parts are covered by our respective industry suppliers. We hold on hand sufficient replacement units for customer product replacement should the need arise in order to meet expected customer service terms. While we offer a return policy which includes a 30-day money back guarantee, in the most recent two years of product sales there have been no product returns and therefore we have not recorded a liability for any warranty obligations. We assess the need for warranty and return liabilities at each report date.
Advertising Costs
