• Inability to raise additional capital through equity, debt, or related party borrowings, which is necessary to fund operations for the next twelve months.

• Lack of significant revenue generation from its new business line in nutrition product technology support.

Future Outlook

The company anticipates requiring additional funding through equity financing, debt securities, or borrowings from financial institutions or related parties to execute its business plan in the nutrition product technology support sector. However, there is no assurance that sufficient funding will be raised to meet obligations over the next twelve months.

Management Comments

• Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
• There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in achieving these objectives.
• Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
• We are presently examining changes to our procedures and policies to ensure a more timing reporting.

Industry Context

The company's pivot to technical support services for nutrition food products aligns with a growing health and wellness market. However, its inability to generate significant revenue in this sector since Q3 FYE 2020, coupled with severe financial distress, indicates a failure to capitalize on or effectively penetrate this market, contrasting sharply with the growth seen by successful players in the nutrition and wellness industry.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• The company's complete lack of revenue generation for multiple consecutive periods is significantly below industry standards for any operating business, let alone one in a growing sector like nutrition food products.
• A working capital deficit of over $1.4 million and an accumulated deficit of nearly $3.9 million, with only $4,175 in cash, indicates a severe liquidity crisis far worse than typical small reporting companies, which often struggle but usually show some operational revenue.
• The reliance on non-interest bearing, unsecured loans from related parties (specifically the CEO) for operational funding, without formal commitment, is a red flag for corporate governance and financial stability, contrasting with standard corporate financing practices.
• The admission of ineffective disclosure controls and procedures is a serious governance issue, indicating a lack of internal financial oversight that is critical for public companies, regardless of size.

Corporate Governance

Legal Proceedings

• No legal proceedings during the nine months ended November 30, 2025, and currently not involved in any pending litigation or legal proceedings.

Related Party Transactions

• Reliance on advances from related parties for cash requirements, with no formal written commitment for continued support.
• Loan outstanding with CEO, Ms. Yan Li, totaling $789,232 as of November 30, 2025 (increased from $763,424 on February 28, 2025). These loans are non-interest bearing, due upon demand, and unsecured.
• A related party provides accounting services to the company at an estimated annual fee of $19,000.
• Accounts payable of $47,643 to two related parties (controlled by the CEO) for inventory purchased in November 2017 and sold by February 29, 2020, remains outstanding.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders face significant risk of capital loss due to the company's going concern issues, lack of revenue, increasing losses, and potential inability to secure future financing. The ineffective disclosure controls also pose a risk to the reliability of reported information.
• Creditors (primarily related parties) face high exposure to the company's financial distress, particularly the CEO, Ms. Yan Li, with an unsecured, non-interest bearing loan of $789,232.
• The company's severe financial state and lack of revenue suggest instability, which could impact any employees (though the filing primarily mentions officer compensation).
• The company has not generated significant revenue from its new business line, implying minimal customer base or impact.

Next Steps

• Obtain additional funding through equity financing, debt securities, or borrowings from financial institutions or related parties to execute the business plan.
• Examine changes to procedures and policies to ensure more timely reporting, following the conclusion that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Key Dates

Recommendation

The company exhibits severe financial distress with no revenue, increasing losses, a substantial working capital deficit, and an accumulated deficit of nearly $3.9 million. Management explicitly states 'substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern' and insufficient cash for the next twelve months, with no guarantee of securing future financing. Furthermore, disclosure controls were deemed ineffective. These factors collectively point to an extremely high risk of business failure and significant capital loss for investors.
