PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation, (f/k/a Aureus, Inc.) (“Yuengling’s,” “ARSN,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 19, 2013, under the name “Aureus Incorporated.” We were initially organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the state of Nevada. Effective December 15, 2017, we changed our name to “Hohme, Inc.,” and, effective February 7, 2019, we changed our name to “Aureus, Inc. and on September 14, 2021, the Company changed their name to Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation”. We are currently active in the state of Nevada.

We are a food brand development company that builds and represents popular food concepts throughout the United States and international markets. Management is highly experienced at business integration and re-branding potential. With little territory available for the older brands, we intend to bring fresh, innovative brands with great potential. Our brands will be unique as we focus on niche markets that are still in need of development.

Our Business Objectives

Yuengling’s mission is to provide the highest quality ice cream and dairy-related products to its consumers, offer an enjoyable work environment for its employees, establish lasting relationships with its customers and vendors that are centered on trust, strive to surpass its customers’ expectations, always act ethically, and give back to the communities that support it.

Business Overview

Yuengling’s is an American and family-owned company with high brand recognition & loyalty. Its products are considered in the super-premium category and are all-natural. Yuengling’s exceeds Whole Foods Market® Ingredient Quality Standards. Its products are kosher with no added growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics.

Yuengling’s is a strong, recognized brand with a long, positive family history and an experienced management team. We are smaller and more responsive than larger competitors.

When national brands continue to reduce the quality of their offerings and downsize their products, Yuengling’s products compare favorably and provide good “value” to our customers. We offer innovative new products and flavors.

Operating Strategy

Yuengling’s retail operating strategy is three-phased, centering on (1) product development, (2) achieving acceptance in a defined core area, and (3) expanding our operations once specific volume and metrics are attained. We are currently in the early stages of phase two.

Marketing and Distribution

Yuengling’s core marketing area is defined as the area from Scranton, Pennsylvania in the North, central Virginia in the South, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the West, and the New Jersey shore to the East. We believe we offer higher than average overall margins for retailers.

Our goal is to establish critical mass distribution and specific consumer acceptance levels in the defined core marketing area. We feel this will be accomplished through brand promotion at the store level and top-of-mind-focused marketing programs, including large-scale and small-scale direct consumer product sampling. Once we have sufficient market penetration in our core marketing area, we plan to expand and establish the brand outside this area. At the time of this filing, Yuengling’s Ice Cream is sold in select markets in eastern Pennsylvania.

The Company plans to begin selling its three-gallon tubs to food service customers in the spring or early summer of 2022. The Company also plans to begin selling its ice cream pints to distributors and retailers in the spring or summer of 2022.

In the future, we anticipate working with several independent ice cream distributors, rather than a few large distributors, to distribute our products regionally and nationally. To help facilitate customer relationships, we may engage food brokers to act as our agents within designated territories or for specific accounts and receive commissions, which average 5% of net collected sales.

Our ice cream is shipped from our manufacturer to third-party cold storage facilities. In turn, our products are distributed from these cold storage facilities. We do not own, lease or otherwise maintain any vehicles involved in the shipping of our products.

Development Strategy

Our development strategy began with market entry in February 2014. The target was to establish distribution in retail grocery stores within the core marketing area with six-quart flavors of ice cream per store. Distribution is warehouse-based.

We believe our products are a slight bargain compared to super-premium brands such as Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs and on par with other brands such as Gifford’s. Our promotional pricing strategy depends upon the retailer, with brand positioning as a super-premium offering. We sometimes engage in short-term Everyday Low Price (“EDLP”) program pricing to undermine the existing premium and super-premium players.

Production

Yuengling’s Ice Cream is currently produced by Totally Cool, Inc. (“Totally Cool”) at a high quality, modern, FDA-compliant facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. Our packaging consists of six quarts to a case, eight pints to a case, and three-gallon tubs. Totally Cool is a smaller ice cream production facility that produces ice cream and other frozen desserts for several local, regional, and national brands. Totally Cool’s size allows for smaller and more flexible production runs. We currently do not have a written agreement with Totally Cool; but rather, we order our products as needed pursuant to purchase orders. We do not anticipate that we would encounter any material difficulty in obtaining alternative production sources, at a comparable cost, if our co-packer decides to terminate their relationships with us. Nevertheless, any disruption in supply could have a material adverse effect on our company.

Product Specifications

Our packaging consists of six quarts to a case and eight pints to a case. We offer super-premium butterfat (14%) basis with super-premium flavorings and super-premium ingredients. Our products have high solids, and mid-range weight (50% overrun/air) for a super-premium mouth feel.

Product History

In February 2014, Yuengling’s brand was launched in quart containers in 10 flavors. Quarts were the best way to gain access to shelf space without displacing an existing 48oz or 16oz products. In October 2014, we launched two seasonal flavors, and we added four new flavors in February 2015. In July 2015, we launched six-pint flavors in 800 Ahold stores and began 3-gallon tub food service sales. In May 2016, we were granted a trademark for “Black & Tan” for the ice cream category, and in September 2016, we were granted a trademark for “Butterbeer” for the ice cream category.

At the national level, our primary retail competitors are Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs. At the regional level, our direct retail competitors are Giffords (Maine), Graeter’s (Ohio), and Turkey Hill (Pennsylvania).

Primary Advantages

We believe we have a higher quality than most national brands, comparable to Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs. We have new and different flavors. We also believe we have better value to consumers in cost per ounce, strong brand loyalty, and close relationships with retailers.

American Sourced

American Made

Yuengling’s Ice Cream is currently produced by Totally Cool at a high quality, modern, FDA-compliant facility in Maryland. Yuengling’s recipe contains high solids and mid-range weight (50% overrun / air) for a gourmet mouth feel. We believe Yuengling’s Ice Cream is a Pennsylvania preferred brand and exceeds the Whole Foods Market® Ingredient Quality Standards.

American Served

Yuengling’s Ice Cream is offered at select universities, restaurants, professional stadiums, local grocers, and upscale convenience stores. We offer packaging for a range of consumers, including three-gallon tubs (food service), six quarts per case (food service + Retail + Online), and 8-Pints per case (Universities, Stadiums + Retail + Online).

Employees

We currently have three full-time employees, including officers and directors. We believe that we have been successful in attracting experienced and capable personnel. Mr. Dickson’s employment agreement prohibits him from competing with us or disclosing our proprietary information to non-authorized third parties. Our employees are not represented by any labor union.

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

Results of Operations for the Year Ended October 31, 2021, compared to the Year Ended October 31, 2020

Revenue
We had $3,450 in revenue for the year ended October 31, 2021, compared to $57,460 for the year ended October 31, 2020. The large decrease in revenue is due to a loss in retail food service customers. As the Company reorganized, it sold through its remaining inventory and did not produce additional product while it worked on plans to relaunch the Yuengling’s Ice Cream brand.

Cost of Goods Sold

We incurred $148,014 in costs of goods sold for the year ended October 31, 2021, compared to $45,168 for the year ended October 31, 2020. In the current period we had a large write down of our inventory of approximately $136,000 due to expired or goods sold below cost.

General and administrative expenses

We had $90,223 of general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) for the year ended October 31, 2021, compared to $147,448 for the year ended October 31, 2020, a decrease of $57,225 or 38.8%. The decrease is due to decreased spending on investor relations and marketing during the current period compared to the prior period as the Company works on its plans to relaunch the Yuengling’s Ice Cream brand and evaluate other business opportunities.

Consulting – related party

We had $85,000 of related party consulting expenses for the year ended October 31, 2021, compared to $0 for the year ended October 31, 2020. In the current period we made a payment of $40,000 to Everett Dickson, our former CEO and two payments totaling $45,000 to Robert Bohorad, YICA’s former Chief Operating Officer and our current CEO.

Professional fees

We incurred $171,692 of professional fees for the year ended October 31, 2021, compared to $84,940 for the year ended October 31, 2020, an increase of $86,752 or 102%. Professional fees generally consist of audit, legal and accounting fees. The increase in the current year is due to an increase of audit, legal and accounting fees related to the filing of our Form 1-A and Form 10.

Other income (expense)

For the year ended October 31, 2021, we had total other expense of $110,973, compared to total other income of $27,208 for the year ended October 31, 2020. In the current period we incurred $176,157 of interest expense, which included $93,750 on debt discount amortization, earned $738 of interest income, recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $151,418 and a loss on conversion of debt of $26,000. We also incurred additional expense of $59,028 for the issuance of convertible debt and a prepayment penalty on that debt of $17,819. In the prior period we incurred $127,934 of interest expense, earned $2,072 of interest income and recognized a gain for the change in derivative of $154,620.

Net loss

We incurred a net loss of $602,452 for the year ended October 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $192,888 for the year ended October 31, 2020. Our net loss increased largely due to the write off of inventory and expenses incurred with the issuance of convertible debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow from operations

Cash used in operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2021 was $416,801 compared to $259,135 of cash used in operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2020.

Cash Flows from Investing

Cash used in investing activities for the purchase of equipment for the year ended October 31, 2021 was $0 compared to $14,300 of cash used in investing activities for the year ended October 31, 2020. In the prior year we purchased $30,300 of equipment and received $16,000 from the sale of other property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing

For the year ended October 31, 2021, we netted $655,472 from financing activities. We received $114,582 from proceeds from notes payable, $86,250 from the issuance of convertible debt, $168,600 from the sale of preferred stock, $540,000 from the sale of common stock and $30,570 from related party loans. We repaid $142,391 of a notes payable, $111,569 back for the convertible debt and the related partly loans of $30,570 during the same period. For the year ended October 31, 2020, we netted $212,381 from financing activities, mostly from $118,300 from proceeds from notes payable, $77,500 from the sale of common stock, $115,450 from the sale of preferred stock and repayments of $97,719 of notes payable.

Critical Accounting Policies

This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” Section is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to inventories, income taxes, accounts receivable allowance, fair value derivatives, and reserve for warranty claims. We base our estimates on historical experience, performance metrics, and various other assumptions that we believe 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 others sources. Actual results will differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We apply the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Use of Estimates

Financial statements prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management estimates include the estimated collectability of its accounts receivable, the valuation of long-lived assets, warranty reserves, the assumptions used to calculate derivative liabilities, assumptions used to value equity instruments issued for financing and compensation, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue under Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09. This standard provides authoritative guidance clarifying the principles for recognizing revenue and developing a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We review our sales transactions to identify contractual rights, performance obligations, and transaction prices, including the allocation of prices to separate performance obligations, if applicable. Revenue and costs of sales are recognized once products are delivered to the customer’s control, and performance obligations are satisfied.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Hedging (Topic 815, and Leases (Topic 841). This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of ASU 2019-10 does not have a material effect on its financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluation the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect.  These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, 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.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

YUENGLING’S ICE CREAM CORPORATION

(formerly Aureus, Inc.)

Index to Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation (“the Company”) as of October 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2021, 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 October 31, 2021 and 2020 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, net losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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. 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 audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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.

Critical Audit Matters

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.

Accounting for Embedded Conversion Features on Notes Payable — Refer to Notes 1 and 7 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company has issued several notes payable during the year with conversion rates that are adjustable at a discounted rate to public trading prices near the conversion date. The terms allow for variable amounts of shares to be converted for a set dollar value; this and other factors require the embedded conversion feature to be accounted for as a derivative and revalued at the conversion date or each period end if still outstanding. Calculations and accounting for the notes payable and embedded conversion features require management’s judgments related to initial and subsequent recognition of the debt and related features, use of a valuation model, and value of the inputs used in the selected valuation model.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for notes payable and related accounts included the following, among others:

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation (formerly Aureus Incorporated) (the “Company”, “Yuengling’s”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 19, 2013. The Company was organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the state of Nevada. The Company is currently in active status in the state of Nevada.

We are a food brand development company that builds and represents popular food concepts throughout the United States and international markets. Management is highly experienced at business integration and re-branding potential. With little territory available for the older brands, we intend to bring to our customers fresh innovative brands that have great potential. All of our brands will be unique in nature as we focus on niche markets that are still in need of development.

We operate two lines of business. Through our subsidiary, YIC Acquisitions Corp. (“YICA”), we acquired the assets of Yuengling’s Ice Cream in June 2019. YICA produces and sells high-quality ice cream without artificial colors, flavoring, or preservatives and no added hormones. In September 2020, we entered into the micro market segment and launched our second business line, Aureus Micro Markets (“AMM”). Closely tied to the vending machine industry, Micro Markets look and feel like modern convenience stores while functioning with the ease and efficiency of vending foodservice and refreshment services. They provide an improved customer experience and greater product variety, with a proven track record of increasing sales at vending locations while keeping labor costs down and improving operating efficiencies. Micro markets are a hybrid form of vending, food service, coffee service, and convenience stores that provide an improved customer experience, exponentially greater product variety, and increased sales within a single location while keeping labor costs down and improving operational efficiencies. The expanded product variety, open flow, and cashless payment options mean that consumers spend less time in line fumbling with cash/change, can purchase multiple items with one transaction, and buy more items per transaction than with cash transactions.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the years ended October 31, 2021 or 2020.

Restricted Cash

The Company has an obligation to transfer $50,000 to Mid Penn Bank as security pursuant to the Agreement of Sale and Security Agreement with Mid Penn Bank and Yuengling Ice Cream Corp, by September 30, 2022. If the funds are not transferred by September 30, 2022, the Bank the has option to call the loan and to require the Company to pay any attorney’s fees incurred.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary YIC Acquisitions Corp. All material transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The Company periodically assesses if any of the inventory has expired or if the value has fallen below cost. When this occurs, the Company recognizes an expense for inventory write down. Total inventories at October 31, 2021 and 2020 were $56,211 and $202,724, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based Compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 allows companies to account for nonemployee awards in the same manner as employee awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to tax net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of these differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled, as well as operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term.

Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of October 31, 2021, and 2020, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery. YIC Acquisitions Corp (Yuengling’s Ice Cream) generates its revenue through the sale of pints to retailers, through the online sales of pints directly to consumers, and through the sale of 3 gallon tubs to food service establishments, such as restaurants, stadiums, and universities. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery or, for online sales, at the time of the transaction. Retailers and food service customers’ terms are generally 15 or 30 days. Online sales are paid via credit card and funds are generally received within 30 days.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. As of October 31, 2021 and 2020, there are 3,070,821,710 and 1,620,604,188 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, if the Preferred A were to be converted. As of October 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic No. 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as described below:

Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates.

Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.

The following required disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows: Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. The items are generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations of their fair values.

The carrying amounts of Notes Receivable and Notes Payable approximate the fair value as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2021:

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2020:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815, and Leases (Topic 841). This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of ASU 2019-10 does not have a material effect on its financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, 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 our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,550,773 at October 31, 2021, had a net loss of $602,452, and net cash used in operating activities of $416,801 for the year ended October 31, 2021. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock and/or debt financing is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. These conditions and the ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

NOTE 4 - PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT

Property and Equipment are first recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows between three and five years.

Long lived assets, including property and equipment, to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Maintenance and repair expenses, as incurred, are charged to expense. Betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts with any gain or loss on the disposition included as income.

Property and equipment stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense

Depreciation expense for the year ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0 and $0, respectively. As of October 31, 2021, the Company’s fixed asset have not yet been placed in service. Depreciation will begin on the date the assets are placed into service.

NOTE 10 – PREFERRED STOCK

Series A Preferred

The Company has designated Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a par and stated value of $0.001 per share. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not be entitled to receive any dividends.

Except as otherwise required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation and except as set forth below, the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote together with the shares of Common Stock and other voting securities of the Corporation as a single class and, regardless of the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding and as long as at least one of such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding shall represent Sixty Six and Two Thirds Percent (66 2/3%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or action by written consent of shareholders. Each outstanding share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall represent its proportionate share of the 66 2/3% which is allocated to the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The entirety of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as such time shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into two thirds of the after conversion outstanding fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Each individual share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock at a ratio determined by dividing the number of shares of Series A Convertible Stock to be converted by the number of shares of outstanding pre-conversion Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Such initial Conversion Ratio, and the rate at which shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock. As of October 31, 2021, there are 5,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock owned by the CEO.

As of October 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has preferred stock to be issued in the amount of $437,850 and $269,250, respectively. As of October 31, 2021, the preferred Series A can be converted at $0.0008 per share, into 547,312,500 shares of common stock. As of the balance sheet date and the date of this report, these shares have not been issued to the Purchaser. S99-3A(2) ASR 268 requires preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable (1) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (2) at the option of the holder, or (3) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Given that there is an unknown amount of preferred shares to be issued, cash has been repaid and the preferred shares are convertible at the option of the holder, the Company determined that mezzanine treatment appears appropriate. As such, the Company feels these securities should be classified as Mezzanine equity until they are fully issued. 

Series B Preferred

The Series B preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock at the option of the holder at a 35% discount to the lowest closing price for the thirty days prior to conversion.

On August 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchased Agreement with Kanno Group Holdings II Ltd.(“KGH”), in which KGH purchased $3,000 of Series B Preferred Stock. The Company rescinded its agreement with KGH, agreeing to return the $3,000 it had received for the preferred stock.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAX

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company is using the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% and 5% estimated state tax.

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following October 31:

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

At October 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $371,200 that maybe offset against future taxable income.  No tax benefit has been reported in the October 31, 2021 or 2020 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act establishes new tax laws that affects 2018 and future years, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. Topic 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of October 31, 2021, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Nevada. 

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) management has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the following.

Subsequent to October 31, 2021, the Company issued the 110,000,000 shares of common stock that was due as of October 31, 2021.

Subsequent to October 31, 2021, the Company sold 120,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.0008, for total cash proceeds of $96,000.

On January 21, 2022, the Company increased its authorized common stock from 1,750,000,000 (1.75 billion) to 2,000,000,000 (2 billion) shares.

On January 20, 2022, the Company entered into a Service Agreement with Desmond Partners, LLC for consulting services to be provided. The agreement is effective on February 1, 2022 for an initial term of three months. Per the terms of the agreement the consulting will receive a fee of $10,000 per month and 5% equity in the Company.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer who also acts as our principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  The disclosure controls and procedures ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2021, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible to design or supervise a process that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The policies and procedures include:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period October 31, 2021.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal year October 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting were not effective at that reasonable assurance level. The following aspects of the Company were noted as potential material weaknesses:

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of Independent Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because as a smaller reporting company we are not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws both provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors, to the fullest extent, permitted by Nevada law.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock.  Officers, directors and ten-percent or greater beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  Based upon a review of those forms and representations regarding the need for filing for the year ended October 31, 2021, we believe all necessary forms have been filed.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our directors and executive officers have not been personally involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

Family Relationships

There are no familial relationships among any of our directors or officers.

Director Independence

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, which has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”

Board Committees

Our board does not currently have a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee due the board’s limited size and the Company’s limited operations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our Board, it is not practical for us to have committees other than those described above, or to have more than two directors on such committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and our committees and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary Compensation

The following table provides information as to cash compensation of all executive officers of the Company, for each of the Company’s last two fiscal years.
