LUCENT, INC.
NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2023
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Lucent, Inc. (the “Company”) is located in the State of Montana where it was incorporated on May 13, 2019 to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date. Other than issuing shares to its original shareholders, the Company has not commenced any operational activities. The Company’s fiscal year end is May 31.
The balance sheet as of February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2022 has been derived from unaudited financial statements, and the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s most current filing on Form S-1/A filed with the SEC on April 10, 2020.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of February 28, 2023, and results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2023 and the period from inception on May 13, 2019 through February 28, 2023, have been made.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has not commenced operations and has accumulated a deficit of $9,521 as of February 28, 2023. The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. Management has evaluated these factors and as determined that they raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Management expects to seek potential business opportunities for merger or acquisition of existing companies. The Company has yet to locate any merger or acquisition candidates. Management is not limiting their search for merger or acquisition candidates to any industry or locations. Management, while not especially experienced in matters relating to public company management, will rely upon their own efforts and, to a much lesser extent, the efforts of the Company’s shareholder, in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The officers have agreed to advance funds to the Company to meet its obligations.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to establish accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These financial statements include some estimates and assumptions that are based on informed judgments and estimates of management. We evaluate our policies and estimates on an on-going basis and discuss the development, selection, and disclosure of critical accounting policies with the Board of Directors. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and as such requires the use of judgment. Our financial statements may differ based upon different estimates and assumptions.
7
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements present the balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $13 and $13, respectively.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other than as noted above the Company has not implemented any pronouncements that had material impact on the financial statements 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 its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 4 - CAPITAL STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. No preferred shares have been authorized or issued. At both February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2022, 5,000,000 common shares are issued and outstanding.
On May 16, 2019, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.0004 (par value $0.0001) for total cash of $2,000.
At February 28, 2023, there are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock of the Company.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2022, the Company owed $7,570 and $7,570, respectively, to officers for advances, and expenses paid, on behalf of the Company. The amounts due to related party are to be repaid when cash is available to the Company. There is no interest attached to these advances.
The Company does not own or rent property. The Company’s office space is provided by an officer at no cost to the Company.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 20, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date that would have a material effect on the financial statements thereby requiring adjustment or disclosure.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments which the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof); finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates; expansion and growth of the Company’s business and operations; and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results or developments will conform with the Company’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the Company; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Company.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this Filing and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, and its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for its limited history; (ii) the Company’s business and growth strategies; and, (iii) the Company’s financing plans. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include, but are not limited to, the Company’s limited operating history, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results and expenses, government regulation, technological change and competition.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations. The Company assumes no obligations to update any such forward-looking statements.
General Business Development
Lucent, Inc., incorporated in the State of Montana on May 13, 2019, to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date. Other than issuing shares to its original shareholder, the Company never commenced any operational activities other than organizational activities and preparation of this registration statement on Form 10 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company has no full-time employees and owns no real estate or personal property. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination and has made no efforts to identify a possible business combination. As a result, the Company has not conducted negotiations or entered into a letter of intent concerning any target business. The business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of or merger with, an existing company.
Going Concern
The future of our company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock, if necessary.

Results of Operations
We did not generate revenues during the three- or nine-month periods ended February 28, 2023, or for the three- or nine-month periods ended February 28, 2022. Total operating expenses were $0 during the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2023, and the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2022. Net losses for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2023, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2022, were $0 and $0, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
In Financial Reporting release No. 60, “CAUTIONARY ADVICE REGARDING DISCLOSURE ABOUT CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES” (“FRR 60”), the Securities and Exchange Commission suggested that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include: non-cash compensation valuation that affects the total expenses reported in the current period and the valuation of shares and underlying rights acquired with shares. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is not exposed to market risk related to interest rates or foreign currencies.
Controls And Procedures
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of February 28, 2023, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), who concluded, that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2023.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during current quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
