ITEM 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Nature of Business
JV Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“JV Group,” “we," "us" or “our”) is a publicly quoted shell company seeking to create value for its shareholders by merging with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of its common stock. No potential merger candidate has been identified at this time.
Our History
JV Group was formed in Delaware on September 29, 2008 under the name ASPI, Inc.
On April 25, 2012, ASPI filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from ASPI, Inc. to JV Group, Inc. and to increase the number of its authorized common shares from One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares to One Billion (1,000,000,000) shares.
From its formation on September 28, 2008 through September 7, 2011, we were a publicly quoted shell company seeking to merge with an entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create values for our shareholders.
From September 8, 2011 through October 2015, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Prestige Prime Office, Limited (“Prestige”), a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Corporation, we operated as a serviced office provider in the Far East. Prestige ceased serviced office provider operations in October 2015.
We also formed a second wholly owned subsidiary, Mega Action Ltd (“Mega Action”)., a British Virgin Island corporation, which never conducted any business activities.
From October 2015 to date, we are once again a publicly quoted shell company seeking to merge with an entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create values for our shareholders.
Effective September 30, 2017, we disposed of both of our subsidiary companies, Prestige and Mega Action and at the same time, our affiliate shareholders which had advanced monies to the Company or subsidiaries, issued releases to us in which they forgave all loans which they had made to us.
Our current mailing address is 9605 W. 49th Ave., #200, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 and our telephone number is 303-422-8127.
Reports to Security Holders
Upon effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and as such, we intend to file all required disclosures.
You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC in the SEC’s Public Reference Section, Room 1580, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Section by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we did not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of June 30, 2021, our last fiscal year.
We may lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year during which (i) our annual gross revenue exceeds $1,000,000,000 or (ii) we issue more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt in a three-year period. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company if at any time we are deemed to be a large, accelerated filer. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement.
As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable to generally reporting companies. These provisions include:
- | A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statement and only two years of related Management Discussion and Analysis Disclosures: |
- | Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and |
- | No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. |
As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such sections are provided below:
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires a public company’s auditor to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of its internal controls.
Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities and Exchange Act, implemented by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Act, require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation.
We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this registration statement, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
As long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We are choosing to irrevocably opt into the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10 contains forward-looking statements that may be affected by matters outside our control that could cause materially different results.
Some of the information in this Form 10 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. These statements express, or are based on, our expectations about future events. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as, "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "project", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe" or "continue" or the negative thereof or similar terminology. They include statements regarding our:
· | financial position, |
· | business plans, |
· | the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, |
· | budgets, |
· | amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures, |
· | cash flow and anticipated liquidity, |
· | future operations of unknown nature costs, |
· | acquisition and development of other technology, |
· | future demand for any products and services acquired, |
· | operating costs and other expenses. |
Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results are described under "Risk Factors" and include:
· | general economic conditions, |
· | the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, |
· | our cost of operations, |
· | our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to operate, |
· | availability of capital, |
· | the strength and financial resources of our competitors, |
· | our ability to find and retain skilled personnel, and |
· | the lack of liquidity of our common stock. |
Any of the factors listed above and other factors contained in this Form 10 could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results implied by these or any other forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. We cannot assure you that our future results will meet our expectations. When you consider these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risk factors and the other cautionary statements in this Form 10. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made.
General Business Plan
Our business plan to seek a merger has many uncertainties which pose risks to investors.
We intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms which desire to seek the advantages of an issuer who has complied with the Securities Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in business ventures of virtually any nature. This discussion of our proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. We anticipate that we may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because of our lack of financial resources. We may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or that desire to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional
3 |
capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. All of these activities have risk to investors including dilution and management.
We expect that the selection of a business opportunity will be complex. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, we believe that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act. Such benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all stockholders and other factors. Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We have, and will continue to have, essentially no assets to provide the owners of business opportunities. However, we will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, our Board of Directors. We intend to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to our attention through present associations of our director, professional advisors or by our stockholders. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, we will consider such matters as (i) available technical, financial and managerial resources; (ii) working capital and other financial requirements; (iii) history of operations, if any, and prospects for the future; (iv) nature of present and expected competition; (v) quality, experience and depth of management services; (vi) potential for further research, development or exploration; (vii) specific risk factors not now foreseeable but that may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the company; (viii) potential for growth or expansion; (ix) potential for profit; (x) public recognition and acceptance of products, services or trades; (xi) name identification; and (xii) other factors that we consider relevant. As part of our investigation of the business opportunity, we expect to meet personally with management and key personnel. To the extent possible, we intend to utilize written reports and personal investigation to evaluate the above factors.
We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
Acquisition Interest
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another company or entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. Upon consummation of a transaction, it is probable that our present management and stockholders will no longer be in control of us. In addition, our sole director may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of our stockholders, or sell his stock in us. Any such sale will only be made in compliance with the securities laws of the United States and any applicable state.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under application federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, as a negotiated element of the transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after it has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and is no longer considered an inactive company.
The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may have a depressive effect on the value of our securities in the future. There is no assurance that such a trading market will develop.
While the actual terms of a transaction cannot be predicted, it is expected that the parties to any business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the business transaction in a so-called “tax-free” reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under the Code, it may be necessary for the owner of the acquired business to own 80%
4 |
or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such event, our stockholders would retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This would result in significant dilution in the equity of our stockholders.
With respect to any merger or acquisition, and depending upon, among other things, the target company’s assets and liabilities, our stockholders will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in us following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event we acquire a target company with assets and expectations of growth. Any merger or acquisition can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our stockholders.
We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written business agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally we anticipate that such agreements will (i) require specific representations and warranties by all of the parties; (ii) specify certain events of default; (iii) detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after such closing; (iv) outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with the Company’s attorneys and accountants; (v) set forth remedies on defaults; and (vi) include miscellaneous other terms.
As stated above, we will not acquire or merge with any entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction. If such audited financial statements are not available at closing, or within time parameters necessary to insure our compliance within the requirements of the 1934 Act, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform to the representations made by that business to be acquired, the definitive closing documents will provide that the proposed transaction will be voidable, at the discretion of our present management. If such transaction is voided, the definitive closing documents will also contain a provision providing for reimbursement for our costs associated with the proposed transaction.
Competition
We believe we are an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
Investment Company Act 1940
Although we will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, we believe we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event we engage in business combinations that result in us holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the 1940 Act. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment company and incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the 1940 Act and, consequently, any violation of the 1940 Act would subject us to material adverse consequences. We believe that, currently, we are exempt under Regulation 3a-2 of the 1940 Act.
Intellectual Property
We have not and do not own any intellectual property.
Employees
We presently have no full time executive, operational or clerical staff.
We operate with three directors and two officers who provide their services to us on a part time basis:
Calvin D. Smiley, Sr. is our Chief Executive Officer, President and a director;
5 |
Michael A. Littman is our Secretary and Director; and
Redgie Green is a director.
Revenue
We have not recorded any revenues from the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, nor for the period from June 30, 2021 through the date of this filing.
Factors Effecting Future Performance
Our goal is to obtain debt and/or equity finance to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders.
Although there is no assurance that this series of events will be successfully completed, we believe we can successfully complete an acquisition or merger which will enable us to continue as a going concern.
Any acquisition or merger will most likely be dilutive to our existing stockholders.
The factors affecting our future performance are listed and explained below under the section “Risk Factors” below:
Our plan of operation is to obtain debt or equity finance to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that any of the events can be successfully completed, that any such business will be identified or that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after such a transaction has been completed. In particular, there is no assurance that any such business will be located or that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after such a transaction. Any merger or acquisition completed by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our current stockholders.
We believe we are an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
You should be aware that there are various risks associated with our business, including the risks discussed below. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the other information contained in this Registration Statement, in evaluating our business and us.
Our business is to seek to raise the debt and/or equity to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that this series of events will be successfully completed or that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after the new business plan has been implemented.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
WE HAVE A SHARHOLDERS’ DEFICIT AND ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES
As of June 30, 2021, we had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately ($25,363).
Future losses are likely to occur as, until we have opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders as we have no sources of income to meet our operating expenses. As a result of these, among other factors, we received from our registered independent public accountants in their report for the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021, an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
OUR EXISTING FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE INSUFFICIENT TO MEET OUR ONGOING OPERATING EXPENSES
We have no sources of income at this time and no existing cash balances to meet our ongoing operating expenses. In the short term, unless we are able to raise additional debt and/or equity we shall be unable to meet our ongoing operating expenses. On a longer-term basis, we intend to raise the debt and/or equity to meet our ongoing operating expenses and merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that this series of events will be successfully completed.
WE INTEND TO PURSUE THE ACQUISITION OF AN OPERATING BUSINESS
Our sole strategy is to acquire an operating business. Successful implementation of this strategy depends on our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate, acquire such company on acceptable terms and integrate its operations. In pursuing acquisition opportunities, we compete with other companies with similar strategies. Competition for acquisition targets may result in increased prices of acquisition targets and a diminished pool of companies available for acquisition. Acquisitions involve a number of other risks, including risks of acquiring undisclosed or undesired liabilities, acquired in-process technology, stock compensation expense, diversion of management attention, potential disputes with the seller of one or more acquired entities and possible failure to retain key acquired personnel. Any acquired entity or assets may not perform relative to our expectations. Our ability to meet these challenges has not been established.
SCARCITY OF, AND COMPETITION FOR, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS
We believe we are an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, we will also compete in seeking merger or acquisition candidates with numerous other small public companies. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
WE HAVE NOT EXECUTED ANY FORMAL AGREEMENT FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION AND HAVE ESTABLISHED NO STANDARDS FOR BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
We have not executed any formal arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of a private or public entity. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in concluding a business combination. We have not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. There is no assurance we will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms favorable, if at all. We have not established a specific length of operating history or specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will
7 |
require a target business opportunity to have achieved, and without which we would not consider a business combination. Accordingly, we may enter into a business combination with a business opportunity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential for earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics.
WE MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
We have not commenced operations as yet and consequently have not been directly impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak at this time. However, the detrimental effect of the Covid-19 outbreak on the economy as a whole may have a detrimental impact on our ability to raise funding and identify an entity to merge with for the foreseeable future. We are unable to predict with any certainty the ultimate impact Covid-19 outbreak on our plans at this time.
WE MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY ADVERSE GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Current conditions in domestic and global economies are extremely uncertain. Adverse changes may occur as a result of softening global economies, wavering consumer confidence caused by the threat of terrorism and war, and other factors capable of affecting economic conditions. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
BECAUSE OUR PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER CONTROLS OUR ACTIVITIES, HE MAY CAUSE US TO ACT IN A MANNER THAT IS MOST BENEFICIAL TO HIMSELF AND NOT TO OTHER SHAREHOLDERS WHICH COULD CAUSE US NOT TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT OUTSIDE INVESTORS MIGHT VIEW FAVORABLY
Our principal shareholder owns approximately 99% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, he effectively controls all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers and related party transaction. This insider also has the ability to delay or perhaps even block, by his ownership of our stock, an unsolicited tender offer. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our Company that you might view favorably.
OUR DIRECTORS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHICH MAY NOT BE RESOLVED FAVORABLY TO US.
Certain conflicts of interest may exist between our directors and us. Our Directors have other business interests to which they devote their attention and may be expected to continue to do so although management time should be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to us. See "Directors and Executive Officers" (page 23 below), and "Conflicts of Interest." (page 23 below).
WE MAY DEPEND UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS WHO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON REASONABLE TERMS AND AS NEEDED.
To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. Our Board without any input from stockholders will make the selection of any such advisors. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us. In the event we consider it necessary to hire outside advisors, we may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they are able to provide the required services.
WE ARE NOT A REPORTING COMPANY AT THIS TIME BUT WILL BECOME ONE DUE TO THE FILING OF THIS FORM 10.
Upon the successful filing of this Form 10, we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, shareholders will have access to the information required to be reported by publicly held companies under the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder. We intend to provide our
8 |
shareholders with quarterly unaudited reports and annual reports containing financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles audited by independent certified public accountants and intend to register under the Securities Exchange Act, Section12(g). There can be no assurance that we shall be able to file this Form 10 successfully or that we shall become a reporting company.
WE ARE AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY,” AND ANY DECISION ON OUR PART TO COMPLY ONLY WITH CERTAIN REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES” COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we expect and fully intend to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)2(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to opt in to the extended transition period for complying with the revised accounting standards. We have elected to rely on these exemptions and reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” and expect to continue to do so.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THE FILING AND INTERNAL CONTROL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY THE SEC WHICH MAY RESULT IN A DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON SHARES AND AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING.
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8934 on June 26, 2008, the SEC adopted rules requiring each public company to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual reports. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements may have to also attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. We may be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement:
· | Of management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting; |
· | Of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year-end; and |
· | Of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. |
Furthermore, our independent registered public accounting firm may be required to file its attestation on whether it believes that we have maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, INCLUDING ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING ACCEPTABLE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, ARE COSTLY AND MAY INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY.
The rules and regulations of the SEC require a public company to prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, which will require that the Company engage legal, accounting, auditing and other professional services. The engagement of such services is costly. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires, among other things, that we design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the limited technically qualified personnel we have may make it difficult for us to design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event that we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our overall financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, compliance with these rules and regulations will nonetheless increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.
We are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. However, we anticipate that the expenses that will be required in order to adequately prepare for being a public company could be material. We estimate that the aggregate cost of increased legal services; accounting and audit functions; personnel, such as a chief financial officer familiar with the obligations of public company reporting; consultants to design and implement internal controls; and financial printing alone will be a few hundred thousand dollars per year and could be several hundred thousand dollars per year. In addition, if and when we retain independent directors and/or additional members of senior management, we may incur additional expenses related to director compensation and/or premiums for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the costs of which we cannot estimate at this time. We may also incur additional expenses associated with investor relations and similar functions, the cost of which we also cannot estimate at this time. However, these additional expenses individually, or in the aggregate, may also be material.
In addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.
The increased costs associated with operating as a public company may decrease our net income or increase our net loss and may cause us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services to offset the effect of such increased costs. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

THE JOBS ACT ALLOWS US TO DELAY THE ADOPTION OF NEW OR REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT EFFECTIVE DATES FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES.
Since, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, this election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
WE HAVE A MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN OUR CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We have conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations for the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and published in 2013, and subsequent guidance prepared by COSO specifically for smaller public companies. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not sufficient as of June 30, 2021 for the reasons discussed below:
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
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 annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management identified the following material weakness and significant deficiencies in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021:
· | The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked personnel with accounting expertise to meet our financial reporting requirements. |
· | Material Weakness – Inadequate segregation of duties. |
The management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses will remain until such time that the Company has the resources to increase the number of personnel committed to the performance of its financial duties that such weaknesses can be specifically addressed. This will include, but not limited to, the following:
· | Hiring of additional personnel to adequately segregate financial reporting duties. |
· | The retention of outside consultants to review our controls and procedures. |
IF WE PURSUE OUR OBJECTIVES OF EXPANDING OUR OPERATIONS THROUGH ACQUISITIONS, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THOSE ACQUISITIONS.
In connection with our anticipated acquisitions and new market expansion, we may face risks commonly encountered with growth through acquisitions and expansions. These risks include the incurrence of higher than anticipated capital expenditures and operating expenses, the adverse impact on our ongoing business resulting from greater attention of management to the acquired businesses or new market operations and difficulties encountered in integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired business. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with acquisitions or expansions. To the extent the Company does not successfully avoid or overcome the risks or problems related to its acquisitions or expansions, the Company's results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
11 |
To the extent that the Company expands into new markets or through acquisition, it will need to employ or consult with personnel that are knowledgeable in such markets. In addition, the success of any particular acquisition may be significantly dependent on retaining key members of the acquired company's existing management. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to employ or retain the necessary personnel, that the Company will be able to successfully implement its management process and culture with local management or that the Company's expansion efforts will be successful.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THE EFFORTS OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS.
The Company's future success depends on the continued services of its executive and senior officers, especially our President, Calvin D. Smiley and our Secretary, Michael A. Littman. The loss of the services of one or more key personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's operations. The Company's success also depends on its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
THERE IS A VERY LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND INVESTORS ARE NOT ASSURED OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL THEIR STOCK, SHOULD THEY DESIRE TO DO SO.
Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Pink Sheets. However, that stock has traded in very limited quantities in the past few years. We believe a significant factor in the limited market is our limited capitalization and liquidity, results of operation and the characterization of our stock as a “penny stock.” We hope to remedy our financial condition and results of operation in the future. This, in turn, may assist us in obtaining listing of our stock on the OTC-QB, Nasdaq or NYSE/American Exchange. However, there is no assurance that any of these objectives will be met or that the market will ever increase to a point where investors could sell their stock at a desirable price, should they desire to do so.
REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING BUSINESS COMBINATION AND DILUTION TO STOCKHOLDERS
Our primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a private concern which, in all likelihood, would result in us issuing securities to stockholders of such private company. The issuance of previously authorized and unissued shares of our common stock would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by present and prospective stockholders and may result in a change in control or management. In addition, any merger or acquisition can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of the shares held our stockholders.
THE REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS BY SEC AND NASD MAY HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE TRADABILITY OF OUR SECURITIES.
Our securities are currently listed on the OTC PINK. Our shares are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000).
For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore.
12 |
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
The shares of our common stock may be thinly-traded on the Pink Sheets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our shares of common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares of common stock until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares of common stock is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities price.
OUR STOCK IS GOING TO BE CLASSISFIED UNDER THE “SHELL” STATUS OF RULE 144(i) AND WILL NOT BE TRADEABLE EXCEPT UNDER LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES.
Until and unless the Company meets certain criteria under Rule 144(i), our shares will not be tradeable for 1 year after we are no longer a “shell” defined as having minimal operations, and cash assets only, unless we file and pursue to effectiveness an Offering Statement on Form 1-A or a Registration Statement on Form S-1. We also must remain current in our SEC filings under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act.
OUR STOCK WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE THINLY TRADED AND AS A RESULT YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR ASK PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO LIQUIDATE YOUR SHARES.
We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our shares of Common Stock will develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares of common stock at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares of common stock of our Company.
RULE 144 SALES IN THE FUTURE MAY HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON OUR STOCK PRICE.
All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by our present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. We are registering all of our outstanding shares so officers, directors and affiliates will be able to sell their shares if this Registration Statement becomes effective. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for one year may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company's outstanding common stock
13 |
or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a nonaffiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of two years. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.
THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE HIGHLY VOLATILE
Our shares of common stock are listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. It is likely that our common stock will be subject to price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices quoted by market makers. Due to the low volume of shares traded on any trading day, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our common stock. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our stock to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our common stock may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. If high spreads between the bid and ask prices of our common stock exist at the time of a purchase, the stock would have to appreciate substantially on a relative percentage basis for an investor to recoup their investment. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. No assurance can be given that an active market in our common stock will be sustained. If an active market does not continue, holders of our common stock may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell their shares at all.
LOSS OF CONTROL BY OUR PRESENT MANAGEMENT AND STOCKHOLDERS MAY OCCUR UPON ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES.
We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of our voting power and equity. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control us, and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of us by our current shareholders.
IF THE REGISTRATION OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS REVOKED IN THE FUTURE, OUR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES WILL CEASE TO EXIST
In the event our securities registration was to be revoked, we would not have the ability to raise money through the issuance of shares and would lose the ability to continue the business plan set out in this filing. Common stock issued and outstanding at that time would no longer be tradable.
WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING CASH DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
WE MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN FINDING A MERGER THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH POSITIVE LONG-TERM RESULTS
The business of selecting and entering into a merger is fraught with all kinds of issues. For instance, the business may need capital that is never achieved, the management is not capable of carrying the business forward successfully, the business plan is ill conceived, and not executed, or competitive factors cause business failure. There are many other factors in addition to these, as may have been discussed above in “Risk Factors” which could cause our Company to fail and the investors capital will be at risk.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This registration statement on Form 10 and other reports filed by us from time to time with the SEC (collectively, the "Filings") contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, our management as well as estimates and assumptions made by our management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan," or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to our business, industry, and our operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to the historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
OVERVIEW
JV Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“JV Group,” “we," "us" or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 29, 2008. Our mailing address is 9605 W. 49th Ave., #200, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 and our telephone number is 303-422-8127.
We are a publicly quoted shell company seeking to merge with other entities with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create values for our shareholders. No potential merger candidate has been identified at this time.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our plan of operations is to raise debt and/or equity to meet our ongoing operating expenses and seek to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete this series of transactions. In particular, there is no assurance that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after such
15 |
a transaction. Any merger or acquisition completed by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our current stockholders.
Our intended general and administrative budget for the next twelve months is as follows:
Q1 financial year ended June 30, 2022 |
Q2 financial year ended June 30, 2022 |

As of June 30, 2021, we had no cash on hand and committed resources of debt or equity to fund these losses. We will be reliant, potentially, on advances from our principal shareholders or our directors and officers. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding these sources.
Our principal shareholder has indicated his intention to provide such funds as may be required for the Company to become, and remain, a fully reporting public company while seeking to create value for shareholders by merging with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of its common stock. Such intentions do not represent a binding commitment by the principal shareholder and there is no guarantee that our two principal shareholders will be able to provide the funding necessary to achieve this objective.
We currently believe that our principal shareholder will be able to provide us with the funding necessary to effect our business plan to merge with another entity. However, while our principal shareholder has indicated his intention to provide us with sufficient funding to achieve this objective, there is no guarantee that he will be able to provide funding necessary to enable us to merge with another entity.
If we are unable to obtain the necessary funding from our principal shareholder, we anticipate facing major challenges in raising the necessary funding to effect our business plan to merge with another entity. Raising debt or equity funding for small publicly quoted, penny stock, shell companies is always extremely challenging.
We may face a number of obstacles in our attempt to raise funding to achieve our objective of merging with a yet to be identified company or group. One of those is Rule 419, under the Securities Act of 1933.
Rule 419 defines a "blank check company" as a company that i. Is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person; and ii. Is issuing "penny stock," as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
We are a “blank check company” and therefore, in order to raise public or private funds, we must comply with the requirements of Rule 419 which includes restrictive escrow and other provisions. These provisions will make it difficult, if not impossible, for us to raise funds for the company.
Therefore, because of these difficulties in raising funding in penny stock or shell companies, if our principal shareholder is unable to provide us with the funding required to merge with another entity, it is very likely that we will be unable to implement our business plan to merge with another entity to create value for all of our shareholders”.
We believe we are an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater
16 |
financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
We intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms which desire to seek the advantages of an issuer who has complied with the Securities Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in business ventures of virtually any nature. This discussion of our proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. We anticipate that we may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because of our lack of financial resources.
We may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or that desire to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
We expect that the selection of a business opportunity will be complex and risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, we believe that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act. Such benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all stockholders and other factors. Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We have, and will continue to have, essentially no assets to provide the owners of business opportunities. However, we will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, our sole director. We intend to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to our attention through present associations of our director, professional advisors or by our stockholders. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, we will consider such matters as (i) available technical, financial and managerial resources; (ii) working capital and other financial requirements; (iii) history of operations, if any, and prospects for the future; (iv) nature of present and expected competition; (v) quality, experience and depth of management services; (vi) potential for further research, development or exploration; (vii) specific risk factors not now foreseeable but that may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the company; (viii) potential for growth or expansion; (ix) potential for profit; (x) public recognition and acceptance of products, services or trades; (xi) name identification; and (xii) other factors that we consider relevant. As part of our investigation of the business opportunity, we expect to meet personally with management and key personnel. To the extent possible, we intend to utilize written reports and personal investigation to evaluate the above factors.
We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
We are a publicly quoted shell company seeking to merge with other entities with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create values for our shareholders. No potential merger candidate has been identified at this time.
Revenue
We recognized no revenue during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as we had no revenue generating activities during this period.
17 |
General and Administrative Expenses
During the year ended June 30, 2021, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $12,023, comprising legal and share transfer agent fees totaling $12,023 and officer’s compensation of $0. During the year ended June 30, 2020, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,400, comprising administrative and share transfer agent fees and officer’s compensation of $0.
Operating Loss
During the year ended June 30, 2021, we incurred an operating loss of ($12,023) compared to $(2,400) for the same period in 2020 due to the factors discussed above.
Interest and Other Income (Expenses) Net
During the year ended June 30, 2021, we generated an interest expense of ($2,488) compared to ($1,340) during the same period ended June 30, 2020.
Income before Income Tax
During the year ended June 30, 2021, our net loss before income taxes was ($14,511) due to the factors discussed above, compared to the year ended June 30, 2020 of a loss of ($3,740).
Provision for Income Tax
No provision for income taxes was recorded during the year ended June 30, 2021 or June 30, 2020.
Net Income
During the year ended June 30, 2021, our net income loss was ($14,511) due to the factors discussed above, compared to ($3,740) for year ended June 30, 2020.
CASH FLOW
As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any cash or cash equivalents, no assets, no revenue generating activities or other source of income and we had outstanding liabilities of $25,563 and a shareholders’ deficit of (25,363).
Consequently, we are now dependent on raising additional equity and/or debt to meet our ongoing operating expenses. There is no
assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary equity and/or debt that we will need to fund our ongoing operating expenses.
It is our current intention to seek to raise debt and/or equity financing to meet ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed.
Future losses are likely to occur as, until we are able to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders, we have no sources of income to meet our operating expenses. As a result of these, among other factors, we received from our registered independent public accountants in their report for the financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition, we are dependent upon our controlling shareholder to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may not be able to implement our plan of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
All companies are required to include a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of their financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of our Financial Statements on page F-9. These policies were selected because they represent the more significant accounting policies and methods that are broadly applied in the preparation of our financial statements.
Inflation
In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future.
Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Per SEC regulations, we are required to disclose our off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, such as changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. As of June 30, 2021, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Share-based Compensation
The cost of equity instruments issued to non-employees in return for goods and services is measured by the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued. The cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments is based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, who is also our acting principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness 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 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this registration statement on Form 10. Based on that evaluation, we concluded that because of the material weakness and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and related information. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the financial statements present accurately, in material respects, our financial position and results of operations in fairness and conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in the Exchange Act. These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate, and that the assumptions and opinions in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls, including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an ineffective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with our management’s and directors’ authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, based on the framework in “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and published in 2013, and subsequent guidance prepared by COSO specifically for smaller public companies. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2021 for the reasons discussed below.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be
20 |
prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. 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 annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weakness and significant deficiencies in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021:
· | The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked personnel with accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. |
· | Material Weakness – Inadequate segregation of duties. |
There are no assurances that the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will not result in errors in our financial statements, which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and maintained, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must account for resource constraints. In addition, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, can and will be detected.
This registration statement on Form 10 does not include an attestation report from our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this registration statement on Form 10.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We do not own or lease any properties.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL.
Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of interest including, among other things, time, efforts and corporation opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities. While our sole officer and director of our business is engaged in business activities outside of our business, he devotes to our business such time as he believes to be necessary.
23 |
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
Presently no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring an affiliate, associate person or business opportunity from any affiliate or any client of any such person.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
In the ordinary course of business, the board of directors maintains a compensation committee and an audit committee.
The primary function of the compensation committee is to review and make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation, including bonuses, of our officers and to administer the grants under our stock option plan.
The functions of the audit committee are to review the scope of the audit procedures employed by our independent auditors, to review with the independent auditors our accounting practices and policies and recommend to whom reports should be submitted, to review with the independent auditors their final audit reports, to review with our internal and independent auditors our overall accounting and financial controls, to be available to the independent auditors during the year for consultation, to approve the audit fee charged by the independent auditors, to report to the board of directors with respect to such matters and to recommend the selection of the independent auditors.
In the absence of a separate audit committee our board of directors’ functions as audit committee and performs some of the same functions of an audit committee, such as recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditor’s independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls.

Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Our future dividend policy will be determined by our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our financial
25 |
condition and performance, our cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences, and the restrictions that applicable laws, any future preferred stock instruments, and any future credit arrangements may then impose.
Penny Stock.
Penny Stock Regulation Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Excluded from the penny stock designation are securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange/system or sold to established customers or accredited investors.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in connection with the transaction, and the monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. As our securities have become subject to the penny stock rules, investors may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
ITEM 10: RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

ITEM 12: INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Delaware General Corporation Law requires us to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of us and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.
The Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Delaware General Corporation Law may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
The Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.
According to our bylaws, we are authorized to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent authorized under Delaware subject to certain specified limitations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we are advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of JV Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of JV Group, Inc. as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience 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 2. 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 audit. 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

JV Group was formed in Delaware on September 29, 2008 under the name ASPI, Inc (“ASPI”).
On April 25, 2012, ASPI filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from ASPI, Inc. to JV Group, Inc. and to increase the number of its authorized common shares from One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares to One Billion (1,000,000,000) shares.
From its formation on September 28, 2008 through September 7, 2011, we were a publicly quoted shell company seeking to merge with an entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create values for our shareholders.
From September 8, 2011 through October 2015, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Prestige Prime Office, Limited (“Prestige”), a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Corporation, we operated as a serviced office provider in the Far East. Prestige ceased serviced office provider operations in October 2015.
We also formed a second wholly owned subsidiary, Mega Action Ltd (“Mega Action”)., a British Virgin Island corporation, which never conducted any business activities.
From October 2015 to date, we are once again a publicly quoted shell company seeking to merge with an entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create values for our shareholders.
Effective September 30, 2017, we disposed of both of its subsidiary companies, Prestige and Mega Action and at the same time, our shareholders issued release to us in which they forgave all loans which they had made to us.
Impact of COVID-19
We currently have no ongoing operations and consequently have not been directly impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak. However, the detrimental effect of the Covid-19 outbreak on the economy as a whole may have a detrimental impact on our ability to raise funding for our working capital needs or to merge with an entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create values for our shareholders for the foreseeable future.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have no ongoing business or income and for year ended June 30 2021 incurred a loss of $14,511 and had an accumulated deficit of $1,014,160 as of June 30, 2021. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional debt or equity funding to meet our ongoing operating expenses and ultimately in merging with another entity with experienced management and profitable operations. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in achieving these objectives.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. These policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied. The Company has selected June 30 as its financial year end. The Company did not earned any revenue during the years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain cash balances in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. As of June , 2021 and 2020, our cash balances were $0.
Fair Value Measurements:
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using highly observable inputs.
Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.
Our financial instruments consist of prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accounts payable - related party. The carrying amount of our prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accounts payable - related party approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Related Party Transactions:
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of our membership interests including such person's immediate families, (ii) our management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence our financial and operating decisions. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See Note 5, 6 and 8 below for details of related party transactions in the period presented.
Leases:
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) as assets, operating lease non-current liabilities, and operating lease current liabilities in our balance sheet. Finance leases are property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet.
F-9 |
ROU assets represent the right to use an asset for the lease term and lease liability represent the obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over lease term. As most of the leases doesn’t provide an implicit rate, we generally use the incremental borrowing rate on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over lease term.
We were mot party to any lease agreements during the years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.
Income Taxes:
The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Uncertain Tax Positions:
We evaluate tax positions in a two-step process. We first determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We classify gross interest and penalties and unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as long-term liabilities in the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Service revenues are recognized as the services are performed in proportion to the transfer of control to the customer and real estate revenues are recognized at the time of sale when consideration has been exchanged and title has been conveyed to the buyer. At this time, we have not identified specific planned revenue streams.
During the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not recognize any revenue.
Advertising Costs:
We expense advertising costs when advertisements occur. No advertising costs were incurred during the years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.
Stock Based Compensation:
The cost of equity instruments issued to non-employees in return for goods and services is measured by the fair value of the equity instruments issued in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” Measurement date for non-employees is the grant date of the stock-based compensation. The cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments is based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued.
No stock based compensation was issued during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
F-10 |
Net Loss per Share Calculation:
Basic earnings (loss) per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Recently Accounting Pronouncements:
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 4. PREPAID EXPENSES
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the balance of prepaid expenses was $200 relating to share transfer agent fees for the month of July invoiced to us in June.
NOTE 5. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the balance of accounts payable was $19,640 and $11,052 respectively and related to outstanding share transfer agent fees and accounting fees.
Any outstanding liabilities relating our former operations as a serviced office provider ceased to be consolidated into our financial statements when we disposed our operating subsidiary, Prestige, effective September 30, 2017.
NOTE 6 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the balance of accounts payable – related party was $5,923 and $0 respectively and related to legal fees paid on behalf of the Company by an entity controlled by one of our directors.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
We did not provide any current or deferred US federal income tax provision or benefit for the years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020 as we incurred tax losses during these years. When it is more likely than not, that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income, we must record an allowance against any future potential future tax benefit. We have provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward periods.
The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2020 or 2019 as defined under ASC 740, " Income Taxes." We did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of the accumulated deficit on the balance sheet.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes.
The sources and tax effects of the differences for the periods presented are as follows:
June 30, 2021 | June 30, 2020 | |||||||
Statutory U.S. Federal Income Tax Rate | 21 | % | 21 | % | ||||
State Income Taxes | 5 | % | 5 | % | ||||
Valuation Allowance | (26 | %) | (26 | %) | ||||
Effective Income Tax rates | 0 | % | 0 | % |
F-11 |
A reconciliation of the income taxes computed at the statutory rate is as follows:
June 30, 2021 | June 30, 2020 | |||||||
Tax credit (expense) at Federal and State statutory rate (26%) | $ | 3,773 | $ | 972 | ||||
Increase in valuation allowance | (3,773 | ) | (972 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax assets | 0 | % | 0 | % |
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has U.S. federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $263,682. NOL’s incurred prior to June 30, 2017 will expire, if not utilized, in the years 2028 through 2037. However, NOLs generated subsequent to June 30, 2017 do not expire but may only be used against taxable income to 80%. In response to the novel coronavirus COVID-19, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act temporarily repealed the 80% limitation for NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, use of the Company’s NOLs carryforwards may be limited in the event of cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year period.
The Company's income tax returns for 2011 and all subsequent years remain open to audit by federal and state jurisdictions.

15. ACTION BY DIRECTORS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted by law to be taken at a Board of Directors' meeting may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board consent to such action in writing. Action shall be deemed to have been so taken by the Board at the time the last director signs a written consent the action taken, unless, before such time, any director has revoked his or her consent by a written notice of revocation by the director and received by the secretary or any other person authorized by the bylaws or the Board of Directors to receive such a revocation. Such action shall be effective at the time and date it is so taken unless the directors establish a different effective time or date. Such action has the same effect as action taken at a meeting of directors and may be described as such in any document.

Article V
INDEMNIFICATION
1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this article:
(a) "Corporation" includes any domestic or foreign entity that is a predecessor of the Corporation by reason of a merger or other transaction in which the predecessor's existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction.
(b) "Director" means an individual who is or was a director of the Corporation or an individual who, while a director of the Corporation, is or was serving at the Corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation or other person or of an employee benefit plan. A director is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the Corporation's request if his or her duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, the director to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. "Director" includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a director.
(c) "Expenses" includes counsel fees.
(d) "Liability" means the obligation incurred with respect to a proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses.
(e) "Official capacity" means, when used with respect to a director, the office of director in the Corporation and, when used with respect to a person other than a director as contemplated in Article V, Section 2(a), the office in the Corporation held by the officer or the employment, fiduciary, or agency relationship undertaken by the employee,
12 |
fiduciary, or agent on behalf of the Corporation. "Official capacity" does not include service for any other domestic or foreign corporation or other person or employee benefit plan.
(f) "Party" includes a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.
(g) "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal.
2. AUTHORITY TO INDEMNIFY DIRECTORS.
(a) Except as provided in Article V, Section 2(d), the Corporation may indemnify a person made a party to a proceeding because the person is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:
(1) The person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and
(2) The person reasonably believed:
(A) In the case of conduct in an official capacity with the Corporation, that his or her conduct was in the Corporation's best interests; and
(B) In all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the Corporation's best interests; and
(3) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
(b) A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of Article V, Section 2(a)(2)(B). A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose that the director did not reasonably believe to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed not to satisfy the requirements of Article V, Section 2(a)(1).
(c) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in this Article V, Section 2.
(d) The Corporation may not indemnify a director under this Article V, Section 2:
13 |
(1) In connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the Corporation; or
(2) In connection with any other proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal benefit.
(e) Indemnification permitted under this Article V, Section 2 in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
3. MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. The Corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding.
4. ADVANCE OF EXPENSES TO DIRECTORS.
(a) The Corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if:
(1) The director furnishes to the Corporation a written affirmation of the director's good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described in Article V, Section 2.
(2) The director furnishes to the Corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the standard of conduct; and
(3) A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this article.
(b) The undertaking required by Article V, Section 4(a)(2) shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.
(c) Determinations and authorizations of payments under this Article V, Section 4 shall be made in the manner specified in Article V, Section 6.
5. COURT-ORDERED INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. A director who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court,
14 |
after giving any notice the court considers necessary, may order indemnification in the following manner:
(1) If it determines that the director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Article V, Section 3, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the court shall also order the Corporation to pay the director's reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.
(2) If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director met the standard of conduct set forth in Article V, Section 2(a) or was adjudged liable in the circumstances described in Article V, Section 2(d), the court may order such indemnification as the court deems proper; except that the indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in Article V, Section 2(d) is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.
6. DETERMINATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS.
(a) The Corporation may not indemnify a director under Article V, Section 2 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in Article V, Section 2. The Corporation shall not advance expenses to a director under Article V, Section 4 unless authorized in the specific case after the written affirmation and undertaking required by Article V, Section 4(a)(1) and 4(a)(2) are received and the determination required by Article V, Section 4(a)(3) has been made.
(b) The determinations required by Article V, Section 6(a) shall be made:
(1) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of those present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, and only those directors not parties to the proceeding shall be counted in satisfying the quorum; or
(2) If a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors designated by the Board of Directors, which committee shall consist of two or more directors not parties to the proceeding; except that directors who are parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of directors for the committee.
(c) If a quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in Article V, Section 6(b)(1), and a committee cannot be established under Article V, Section 6(b)(2) if a quorum is
15 |
obtained or a committee is designated, if a majority of the directors constituting such quorum or such committee so directs, the determination required to be made by Article V, Section 6(a) shall be made:
(1) By independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the Board of Directors or the committee in the manner specified in Article V, Section 6(b)(1) or 6(b)(2), or, if a quorum of the full Board cannot be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors; or
(2) By the shareholders.
(d) Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible; except that, if the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible is made by independent legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made by the body that selected such counsel.
7. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, FIDUCIARIES, AND AGENTS.
(a) An officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Article V, Section 3 and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under Article V, Section 5, in each case to the same extent as a director;
(b) The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation to the same extent as to a director; and
(c) The Corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent who is not a director to a greater extent than is provided in these bylaws, if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by general or specific action of its Board of Directors or shareholders or by contract.
8. INSURANCE. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation or other person or of an employee benefit plan, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from his or her status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify the person against the same liability under Article V, Sections 2, 3, or 7. Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the Board of Directors, whether such insurance company is formed under the laws of this state or any other jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in
16 |
which the Corporation has an equity or any other interest through stock ownership or otherwise.
9. NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTOR. If the Corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director under this article in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, the Corporation shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to the shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders' meeting. If the next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the Board of Directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such action.
