TABLE OF CONTENTS

GENERAL NOTE

We refer to our business from the period from inception (June 21, 2010) through approximately mid- to late-2016, as our “historic period”, the business conducted during the historic period as our “original business” and the management of our company during the historic period as “Oliver Lin’s management”.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. Some of the key factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

The discussion of the business of Genufood Energy Enzymes Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“Genufood” “we” or the “Company”), is as of the date of filing this report, unless otherwise indicated.

Original Business

During our historic period, we were a start-up company whose main focus was to promote, market, distribute and export a range of enzyme products manufactured in the United States for sale for human and animal consumption in certain Asian markets, including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”). Our objective was to commence marketing and distribution of a range of enzyme products for human and animal consumption to sole country distributors, wholesalers, dealers and retailers, as well as to the general public following a Multi-Level Marketing - Franchise Investor Dealer Related (MLM-FIDR) concept, beginning in Taiwan, and then China, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka.

At some point, which we believe may have occurred approximately mid-to late-2016, Oliver Lin’s management ceased operating our original business. We have not generated any revenue from operations since that time.

Genufood Energy Enzymes Corp. was incorporated in Nevada on June 21, 2010. Our principal place of business is located at 1108 S. Baldwin Avenue, Suite 107, Arcadia, California 91007 and our telephone number is (855) 707-2077. Our website is www.geecenzymes.com. No part of our website is incorporated into this report.

Recent Developments

On August 1, 2022, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company unanimously approved to expand our business in the area of electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”) and will direct the management team to implement our new business plan in such industry. On August 16, 2022, we formally announced our intention to reposition as EVSE solutions provider, seeking to grow business in EVSE industry, including building, owning, and operating the next generation of electric vehicle charging stations in the U.S. We intend to bring convenient, reliable, and accessible charging experience to electric vehicle drivers, utilizing frictionless technology and carbon-neutral vehicle-charging infrastructure.

On October 26, 2022, we entered into three Charging Station Site Host Agreements (the “Agreements”) with two institutions (the “Site Hosts”), respectively, pursuant to which the Site Hosts agree to allow us to install our electric vehicle charging stations at the locations set forth in the Agreements (the “Charging Stations”). Under the Agreements, we have agreed to share our revenue generated by the sales of electricity at the Charging Stations with the Site Hosts in accordance with the schedules set forth therein.

As of September 30, 2023, we had two sites under construction for charging stations and three sites under planning for future construction. We are actively negotiating and searching for additional sites for future development.

At this time, we reserve the right to further change our business plan at any time.

Hukui Investment

In late September 2020, we announced that we and Hukui Biotechnology Corporation (“Hukui”) had entered into a Series C Preferred Shares Subscription Agreement dated September 23, 2020 (the “Hukui Agreement”), pursuant to which we have agreed to purchase an aggregate 200,000 shares of Hukui’s Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Shares”) at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate investment of $2,000,000.

The Hukui Agreement provided that we would purchase the Series C Preferred Shares in three tranches, through a date on or before June 30, 2022, as follows:

Following the end of our 2021 fiscal year, an individual and resident of the Republic of China (the “Purchaser”), Hukui and us entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 17, 2021 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell the 140,000 shares of Hukui’s Series C Preferred Stock that we had purchased in the First Tranche Closing and the Second Tranche Closing (the “Hukui Shares”) to the Purchaser for $350,000 in cash, or $2.50 per share. The sale of the Hukui Shares closed on November 19, 2021.

As a result of our original purchase of the first 80,000 of the Hukui Shares on December 15, 2020, together with certain other factors, we may have been deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). To the extent that we may have been deemed to be an investment company, we have been relying on Rule 3a-2 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, allowing us to terminate our investment company status on or before December 15, 2021, the first anniversary of our purchase of the first 80,000 of the Hukui Shares, without having to register and be regulated as an investment company.

Believing that it is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to register and be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we explored different lawful means by which we could terminate our potential investment company status. We determined that the only viable option to terminate our potential investment company status and lawfully avoid registration and regulation under the Investment Company Act was to sell the Hukui Shares on or before the December 15, 2021, deadline.

After making diligent efforts to seek a purchaser of the Hukui Shares, we received three all-cash offers to purchase the Hukui Shares. We accepted the offer of the Purchaser, which was the highest of the three all-cash offers that we received.

We had purchased the Hukui Shares in two tranches, on December 15, 2020, and June 30, 2021, pursuant to the Hukui Agreement, at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,400,000. We sold the Hukui Shares at $2.50 per share, for a total price of $350,000, resulting in a loss of $1,050,000. We recognized impairment loss of the market value of the shares of $1,050,000 for the year ended September 30, 2021. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On December 17, 2021, Hukui and us entered into an Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which our obligation to make the Third Tranche Investment was terminated and the Hukui Agreement was terminated. As a result, we have no continuing contractual obligation to make any investment in Hukui.

With the sale of the Hukui Shares, we believe that we are no longer deemed to be an investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act and, accordingly, we are not required to register and be regulated as an investment company thereunder. Additionally, with the execution of the Termination Agreement, the possibility that we could again become an inadvertent investment company under the Investment Company Act has been removed.

We have decided to expand our business in the area of electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”), and we will need to raise capital to pursue such a business. There are no commitments in place to fund such business and no guarantee can be given that we will be able to secure such funding on terms that are favorable to us, or at all .

Employees

As of December 31, 2023, we had 2 part time employees and 1 full time employee. Our employees were based in both Taiwan and USA.

See Note 6 to the Financial Statements.

On March 31, 2023, we issued an aggregate of 134,213,120 share of our Common Stock to certain of our current and former directors, officers, employees, and a consultant, who converted accrued and unpaid compensation in the aggregate amount of $134,213 at a rate of $0.001 per share of our Common Stock.

Overview

On August 1, 2022, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company unanimously approved to expand our business in the area of electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”) and will direct the management team to implement its new business plan in such industry. On August 16, 2022, the Company formally announced its intention to reposition as EVSE solutions provider, seeking to grow business in EVSE industry, including building, owning, and operating the next generation of electric vehicle charging stations in the U.S. The Company intends to bring convenient, reliable, and accessible charging experience to electric vehicle drivers, utilizing frictionless technology and carbon-neutral vehicle-charging infrastructure.

Under the Agreements, we have agreed to share our revenue generated by the sales of electricity at the Charging Stations with the Site Hosts in accordance with the schedules set forth therein.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has purchased certain electric vehicle charging equipment. Furthermore, the Company is in the process of obtaining permits to construct the Charging Stations at the three confirmed sites. As of December 31, 2022, the Company contracted an architectural firm on providing designing and engineering services for two sites, and working on technical issues for the third site.

As of February 13, 2023, the Company has received the finalized site plans and electrical diagrams from the architectural firm and electrical engineers for 2 sites. The Company has also received permission from the site owners to proceed with the charging station construction permit applications with the local municipalities. The Company expects to install up to a total of 10 charging units for the first 2 sites, and have them operational in October of 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has began constructions on two sites with total of 10 charging units and three sites with signed agreement under planning.

Hukui Investment

Hukui Biotechnology Corporation (“Hukui”) and we entered into a Series C Preferred Shares Subscription Agreement dated September 23, 2020 (the “Hukui Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to purchase an aggregate 200,000 shares of Hukui’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Shares”) at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate investment of $2,000,000.

The Hukui Agreement provided that we would purchase the Series C Preferred Shares in three tranches, through a date on or before June 30, 2022, as follows:

Results of Operations

Year Ended September 30, 2023 compared to the Year Ended September 30, 2022

Revenues

We did not generate any revenues during the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Operating Expenses

We incurred total operating expenses of $432,296 and $348,845 for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our operating expenses consist of business development expenses, legal fees, other professional fees, payroll expenses, stock-based compensation, rent, bank charges, and transfer agent fees. The increase in operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period ended in 2022 was primarily due to increase in payroll expenses, stock-based compensation as well as business development expenses related to the installation of charging stations.

Other expense

During the year ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $195,406 other expenses mainly due to interest incurred for unpaid penalty from IRS and the loss on disposal of our Singapore subsidiary of $192,365. During the year ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $3,823 other expenses mainly due to interest incurred for unpaid penalty from IRS.

Net Loss

As a result of the above, our net loss increased from $352,668 in the year ended September 30, 2022 to $627,702 in the same period ended in 2023.

Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Business

While our liquidity and capital resources are severely limited and present serious obstacles to starting a business, these limitations are unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global economic crisis.

Our personnel are in Taiwan, which has been relatively less affected by the pandemic compared to many other countries in Asia, Europe and the United States.

Depending upon the extent and duration of the pandemic and the resulting global economic crisis, these conditions may have an adverse impact on our ability to raise capital and commence any business we may pursue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

As of September 30, 2023, we had current assets of $134,111 and a working capital surplus of $18,495. In comparison, as of September 30, 2022, we had current assets of $150,893 and a working capital deficit of $54,123.

We had $115,616 in total current liabilities as of September 30, 2023, consisting of $100,849 in accounts payable, $37 in accrued expenses, and $14,730 due to related parties. This is compared to total current liabilities of $205,016 in total current liabilities as of September 30, 2022, consisting of $102,185 in accounts payable and $102,831 due to related parties. The decrease in due to related parties was primarily due to unpaid compensation to officers and directors repaid by shares.

We had total stockholders’ equity of $53,720 and an accumulated deficit of $10,503,191 as of September 30, 2023. In comparison, we had a total stockholders’ deficit of $83,349 and an accumulated deficit of $9,875,489 as of September 30, 2022.

Cash Flows

During the year ended September 30, 2023, we used $305,025 of cash in operating activities which was attributable primarily to our net loss of $627,702 offset by loss on disposal of subsidiary, stock-based compensation, and change in operating assets and liabilities of $322,677. In comparison, during the year ended September 30, 2022, we used $222,828 of cash in operating activities which was attributable primarily to our net loss of $352,668 offset by stock-based compensation and change in operating assets and liabilities of $129,840.

During the year ended September 30, 2023, we used $67,451 of cash investing activity in purchase of equipment. We received $350,000 in payment for the sale of 140,000 Hukui Shares during the year ended September 30, 2022.

During the year ended September 30, 2023, we received $362,000, net of directly associated legal fees from private offering of our Common Stock. During the year ended September 30, 2022, we did not have any financing activity.

There is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our expenses as they become due. We do not anticipate any significant additional revenue until and unless we begin to execute our plan of operations involving the start of our new electric vehicle charging station business. There is no assurance that we will ever reach that stage. The consolidated financial statements presented herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that we cannot continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully execute our business plan and generate profitable operations in the future, and, until and unless we achieve that, to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operation as and when they become due. To date, our capital requirements have primarily been funded by shareholders through the purchase of our Common Stock in private offerings and short-term borrowings from a former officer and another shareholder.

The Company sold 140,000 Hukui Shares for $350,000 cash on November 19, 2021 and received $362,000 from private placement during the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The proceeds have been used for operation expenses.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have material contractual obligations and commitments. We only have one lease that is renewed on a month-to-month basis.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2023, we had not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. As of September 30, 2023, we had not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2023, we had not had any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. As of September 30, 2023, we had not had any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, no significant estimates and assumptions have been made in the consolidated financial statements. The following are some of the critical accounting policies in relation to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. For a full summary of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in which we obtain employee services in share-based payment transactions under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires us to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments over the vesting period.

Recent accounting pronouncements

We do not expect that the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For a full summary of recent accounting pronouncements, please refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The full text of our audited consolidated financial statements begins on page F-1 of this annual report.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On February 23, 2022, (i) DYH & Company (“DYH”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company; and (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company, which acts as the audit committee, engaged KCCW Accountancy Corp. (“KCCW”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of DYH on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended September 30, 2020, and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2021 and through February 23, 2022, there were no disagreements with DYH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of DYH, would have caused DYH to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years.

The Company has provided DYH with a copy of the disclosures it is making herein and has requested that DYH furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not DYH agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is provided herewith as Exhibit 16.1.

No consultations occurred between the Company and KCCW during the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2021 and through February 23, 2022, regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or other written or oral information provided that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information relating to our Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated 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 (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

Comingling of funds: We do not have adequate control of our petty cash, resulting in the comingling of our petty cash with the nominal account holder’s personal funds.

Lack of Adequate Staffing: We do not have adequate in-house accounting personnel and expertise in key positions, resulted in overly relying on outside consultants in preparing financial statements and other required disclosures by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Ineffective oversight: We do not exercise effective oversight and monitoring procedures designed and implemented to certain control activities.

Overly relied on outside professionals: We are unable to prepare internally financial statements and relied on outside professional consultants to prepare financial statements and adequate disclosures.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified above, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2022 based on the criteria set forth in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO.

Due to the nature of the material weaknesses, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected. The material weaknesses identified above either individually or in aggregation did not result in any identified misstatements or errors in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended September 30, 2023.

Management’s Plan for Remediation 

Management has discussed the material weaknesses noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Management is committed to improving its internal controls and, subject to having adequate financial resources, intends to:

However, due to limitation of funds and personnel, we have so far been unable to begin to implement the plan to remediate the material weaknesses noted above.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all control issues or misstatements. Accordingly, our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our control system are met. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become adequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Ms. Lin also received her bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Chung Yuan Christian University in 2007.

None of our directors presently serves as a director of any other public companies. We have not entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, although they have indemnification protection under the laws of the State of Nevada, in which we are incorporated. We do not currently maintain director and officer liability insurance.

We believe that what qualifies each of our directors to serve as such is that each of our directors has a good working relationship with our shareholders generally, has been engaged in private raises of capital, which we will require, and has a broad background in business, all of which qualities and attributes could help us in the future.

Term of Office

Directors hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our Bylaws provide that our Board of Directors will consist of no less than one nor more than nine members, as may be set from time to time by our shareholders. Our officers are appointed by, and serve at the discretion of, the Board of Directors.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors is currently composed of 5 members, neither of whom qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his or her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us.

In addition, our Board of Directors has not made a subjective determination as to any of our directors that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, although such subjective determination is required by Nasdaq requirements. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board of Directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by our directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years, there have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director, executive officer, promoter or control person of the Company, including any allegations (not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated), permanent or temporary injunction, or any other order of any federal or state authority or self-regulatory organization, relating to activities in any phase of the securities, commodities, banking, savings and loan, or insurance businesses in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity, or involving mail or wire fraud in any business.

Corporate Governance, Committee Structure and Conflicts of Interest

We do not have standing audit, compensation and nominating/corporate governance committee, or committees performing similar functions. We have not adopted a code of ethics. We anticipate that as we become more familiar with the obligations of U.S. public companies, we will implement appropriate corporate governance structures to comply with SEC and/or stock exchange requirements. We intend to comply with all corporate governance requirements applicable to us at this time.

Since our Board of Directors does not have standing audit, compensation or nominating/corporate governance committees, or any other committees, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. We do not currently have a director who would satisfy the requirements of being an audit committee financial expert. Our Board of Directors has determined that such committees are not necessary at this time, since the Company is in the early stages of its plan of operations, and there is no active trading of our Common Stock. It should be noted that since, at most, only one of our directors is independent, there is a risk of conflicts of interest arising from time to time. During the next fiscal year, our Board of Directors will monitor whether and when it would be appropriate to diversify the Board of Directors to include independent directors and/or establish Audit, Compensation and/or Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors

We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, our directors welcome the views of our shareholders. During the next fiscal year, our Board of Directors will continue to monitor whether and when it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

GENUFOOD ENERGY ENZYMES CORPORATION

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Genufood Energy Enzymes Corporation

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genufood Energy Enzymes Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2023, and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2023, the Company had recurring losses from operations, an accumulated deficit, and a negative cash flows from operating activities. As such there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our 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 entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 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 are no critical audit matters.
