PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Historical Development
LZG International, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Florida on May 22, 2000, as LazyGrocer.Com, Inc. Management intended to establish an online grocery solution, but we were unable to raise sufficient capital to continue operations and, as a result, limited our operations in November 2001. On August 28, 2009, the Company’s name was changed to LZG International, Inc.
Our Business
Our business purpose is to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business, rather than immediate, short-term earnings. Our search for a business opportunity will not be limited to any particular geographical area or industry, including both U.S. and international companies. Our management has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions and other factors. Our management believes that companies who desire a public market to enhance liquidity for current stockholders or plan to acquire additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for cash will be potential merger or acquisition candidates.
We are a "blank check" company based on our proposed business activities. The SEC defines those companies as "any company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Exchange Act, and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, we also qualify as a “shell company” because we have no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our management. As of the date of this filing, we have not entered into any definitive agreement with any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities for the Company. We have unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In our efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, we intend to consider the following factors:
• | Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products; |
• | Competitive position as compared to other companies of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole; |
• | Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment; |
• | Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources; |
• | The cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials; |
• | The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced; |
• | The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and |
• | Other relevant factors. |
4 |
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. 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. Due to our limited capital available for investigation, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired. In addition, we will be competing against other entities that possess greater financial, technical and managerial capabilities for identifying and completing business combinations.
We expect that our due diligence will encompass, among other things, meetings with the target business’s incumbent management and inspection of its facilities, as necessary, as well as a review of financial and other information which is made available to the Company. This due diligence review will be conducted either by our management or by unaffiliated third parties we may engage. Our limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a target business before we consummate a business combination. We anticipate that we will rely upon funds provided by advances and/or loans from management and significant stockholders to conduct investigation and analysis of any potential target companies or businesses. We may also rely upon the issuance of our common stock in lieu of cash payments for services or expenses related to any analysis. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if we had more funds available to us, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the promoters, owners, sponsors or other persons associated with the target business seeking our participation.
In evaluating a prospective business combination, we will conduct as extensive a due diligence review of potential targets as possible; however, none of our management are professional business analysts. (See Item 10, below.) Our management has had limited experience with mergers and acquisitions of business opportunities and has not been involved with an initial public offering. Potential investors must recognize that due to our management’s inexperience we may not adequately evaluate a potential business opportunity.
Management may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of all or any portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed reorganization, merger or acquisition. It is not anticipated that any such opportunity will be afforded to other stockholders or that such other stockholders will be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction. In the event that any such fees are paid, they may become a factor in negotiations regarding any potential acquisition or merger by us, and accordingly, may also present a conflict of interest for such individuals. We have no present arrangements or understandings respecting any of these types of fees or opportunities and we have not adopted any procedures or policies for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions.
In addition, certain conflicts of interest exist or may develop between LZG International and our executive officers and directors. Our management has other business interests to which they currently devote attention, which include their primary employment and management of other shell reporting companies. (See Item 10, below.) They may be expected to continue to devote their attention to these other business interests although management time should be devoted to our business. Also, in the process of negotiations for an acquisition or merger, our management may consider their own personal pecuniary benefit or the interests of other shell companies they are affiliated with rather than the best interests of LZG International and our stockholders.
5 |
We presently do not foresee entering into a merger or acquisition transaction with any business with which our officers or directors are currently affiliated. We may acquire or merge with companies of which our management’s affiliates or associates have a direct or indirect ownership interest. If we determine in the future that a transaction with an affiliate would be in our best interest, we are permitted by Florida law to enter into such a transaction if:
• | The material facts regarding the relationship or interest of the affiliate in the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors. The board authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors constitute less than a quorum; however, a single director may not authorize the contract or transaction; or |
• | The material facts regarding the relationship or interest of the affiliate in the contract transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote on the transaction, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved by vote of the stockholders; or |
• | The contract or transaction is fair to the Company at the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors or the stockholders. |
Our common stock is not publicly traded at this time and we cannot assure that a market will develop or that a stockholder ever will be able to liquidate his investments without considerable delay, if at all. If a market develops, our shares will likely be subject to the rules of the Penny Stock Suitability Reform Act of 1990. The liquidity of penny stock is affected by specific disclosure procedures required by this Act to be followed by all broker-dealers, including, but not limited to, determining the suitability of the stock for a particular customer, and obtaining a written agreement from the customer to purchase the stock. This rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell our securities in any future market.
Form of Acquisition
The manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such promoters.
It is likely that we will acquire our participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of our common stock or other securities. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those persons who were our stockholders prior to such reorganization.
Our present stockholders will likely not have control of a majority of the voting securities of the Company following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all or a majority of our directors may resign, and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.
In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.
6 |
It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Company of the related costs incurred.
In addition, SEC regulations regarding shell companies and transactions with shell companies requires the filing of a Form 8-K within four business days of the closing of any business combination and that report must include all information that would have been required to have been filed had any such company filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, along with required audited, interim and pro forma financial statements. These regulations may eliminate many of the perceived advantages of these types of transactions. These regulations also deny the use of Form S-8 for the registration of securities of a shell company, and limit the use of Form S-8 to a reorganized shell company until the expiration of 60 days from when any such entity is no longer considered to be a shell company. This prohibition could further restrict opportunities for us to acquire companies that may already have stock option plans in place that cover numerous employees. In such an instance, there may be no exemption from registration for the issuance of securities in any business combination to these employees, thereby necessitating the filing of a registration statement with the SEC to complete any such reorganization, and incurring the time and expenses that are normally avoided by reverse reorganizations.
Competition
Additionally, we are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are, and will continue to be, an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including other small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for the Company. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a business combination.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Our Business Plan
We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act created an independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors, of public companies and to strengthen auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, and compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to our stockholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14A; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.
We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Employees
We presently do not have employees. Our directors and officers are engaged in outside business activities and anticipate that they will devote very limited time to our business until a successful business opportunity has been identified. We do not expect significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We neither rent nor own any properties. We utilize the office space and equipment of our President, Mr. Popp, without charge. We currently have no policy with respect to investments or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any proceedings or threatened proceedings as of the date of this filing.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE
Not applicable to our operations.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
In 2012 we received notification from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that our common stock was cleared for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board using the symbol “LZGI”. As of the date of this report, there has not been any trading activity in our common stock. We do not have any outstanding options or warrants to purchase our securities or securities convertible into our common stock.
Holders
We have 58 stockholders of record of our common stock as of August 29, 2019. The Company has not issued any shares of its preferred stock.
Dividends
We have not declared dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further its business strategy.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.
Issuer Purchase of Securities
None.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
We have not recorded revenues from operations since inception and lack revenues to cover our operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently devoting our efforts to obtain capital from management, significant stockholders and/or third parties to cover minimal expenses; however, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available. Our ability to continue as a going concern during the long term is dependent upon our ability to find a suitable company and acquire or enter into a merger with such company.
The type of business opportunity with which we acquire or merge will affect our profitability for long term. We may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur through a public offering.
9 |
Our management has not had any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a business combination with us. Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.
Our management anticipates that we will likely be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing and the dilution of interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management’s plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
We anticipate that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will have and/or the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At May 31, 2019, we had cash of $434 and total liabilities of $232,696 compared to cash of $539 and total liabilities of $204,912 at May 31, 2018. We have not established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs. During the year ended May 31, 2019, we borrowed $8,000 from a third party to fund our operations and relied upon a stockholder for administrative and professional services totaling $6,300. During the year ended May 31, 2018, we borrowed $6,000 from a third party to fund our operations and relied upon a stockholder for administrative and professional services totaling $6,100.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently devoting our efforts to obtaining capital from management, significant stockholders and/or third parties to cover minimal operations; however, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available. Our ability to continue as a going concern during the long term is dependent upon our ability to find a suitable business opportunity and acquire or enter into a merger with such a company.
The type of business opportunity that we acquire or merge with will affect our profitability for the long term. We may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its securities, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur through a public offering.
10 |
During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports, and possibly investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through funds provided by management, significant stockholders and third parties.
Results of Operations
We did not record revenues in 2019 or 2018. General and administrative expenses increased to $14,080 for 2019 compared to $12,899 for 2018. This increase is primarily due to consulting, administrative, and professional services and out of pocket costs.
Total other expense increased to $13,809 for 2019 compared to $5,738 for 2018 as a result of interest on loans.
Our net loss increased to $27,889 for 2019 compared to $18,637 for 2018. Management expects net losses to continue until we acquire or merge with a business opportunity.
Obligations
We have relied upon loans and advances to fund our operational expenses. During the years ended May 31, 2009 and 2010, our Director and President, Greg L. Popp, loaned an aggregate of $23,500 to the Company. On April 20, 2010, these loans were combined into one promissory note which carries interest at 8% and is not collateralized. The original promissory note had a due date of June 30, 2012; however, Mr. Popp agreed to extend the due date of this note to June 30, 2020. Interest expense was $1,880 for each of the years ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, and accrued interest on the notes totaled $17,457 and $15,577 at May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. (See Item 13, below)
During 2019 we borrowed $8,000 from a third party for operating expenses. At May 31, 2019 and 2018 we owed this third party $59,100 and $51,100, respectively, and had accrued interest of $20,213 and $15,810, respectively. The loans incurred interest expense of $4,403 and $3,858 for 2019 and 2018, respectively, and accrued interest on the loan totaled $20,213 and $15,810 at May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These loans are payable upon demand, are not collateralized and bear interest at 8% per annum.
On May 31, 2019, First Equity Holdings Corp, a stockholder, converted $6,300 of its accounts payable to a promissory note and as of May 31, 2018, First Equity Holdings Corp. converted $92,500 of its accounts payable. The total balance of the note at May 31, 2019 was $98,800. The promissory notes bear interest at 8% per annum and are due on demand. Interest expense was $7,526 and $0 for the years ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, and accrued interest on the notes totaled $7,526 and $0 at May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. (See Item 13, below)
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). A company qualifies as an emerging growth company if it has total annual gross revenues of less than $1.07 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year and, as of December 8, 2011, had not sold common equity securities under a registration statement. Under the JOBS Act we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements
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 take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. See “Note 3 – Income Taxes” in the notes to our financial statements for schedules that describe the new rates adjusted in the period enacted.

Salt Lake City, Utah
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of LZG International, Inc. (the Company) as of May 31, 2019 and 2018, and 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 May 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 of America.
Consideration of 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. The Company has suffered recurring losses and has no operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are 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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LZG International, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
May 31, 2019 and 2018
NOTE 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(A) Organization
LZG International, Inc. (the Company) is a Florida company that was incorporated on May 22, 2000. The Company has not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and other relevant factors. The Company’s business model intended to establish an online grocery solution. A wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, LazyGrocer.Com Corp., was established as part of this model, but it was dissolved in 2001.
Activities from inception have included raising capital and developing the Company’s business plan, Securities and Exchange Commission filings and limited operations.
(B) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements, management is required 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(C) Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
(D) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of related party loans because there is no established market for these loans and it is inappropriate to estimate future cash flows, which are largely dependent on the Company establishing or acquiring operations at some future point. No financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
(E) Basic and Fully Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), the computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented in the financial statements.
The computations of basic and fully diluted loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented in the financial statements, plus the common stock equivalents, which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, or the exercise of convertible debentures. As of May 31, 2019 and 2018, all common stock activity has been included and there were no items considered to be anti-dilutive.

(E) Basic and Fully Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share (Continued)
Following is a reconciliation of the loss per share for the years ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

Basic and fully diluted loss per share
(based on weighted average shares) |
$ | (0.11 | ) | $ | (0.07 | ) |
(F) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash. Our cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States. The Company does not maintain amounts on deposit with a financial institution that are in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company had $0 of cash balances in excess of federally insured limits at May 31, 2019 and 2018.
NOTE 2 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets, has incurred losses since inception, has negative cash flows from operations, and has no revenue-generating activities. Its activities have been limited for the past several years and it is dependent upon financing to continue operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is management’s plan to acquire or merge with other operating companies.
NOTE 3 – Income Taxes
At May 31, 2019, the Company has available unused net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $233,000 which may be applied against future taxable income. Due to a substantial change in the Company’s ownership during June, 2008 there will be an annual limitation on the amount of previous net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the net operating loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the net operating loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $48,800 and $43,200 as of May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount resulting in a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $5,600 during the year ended May 31, 2019, (exclusive of effects of Federal tax rate changes).

The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of May 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended May 31, 2016 through 2019.
NOTE 4 – Related Party Transactions
The financial statements include related party transactions, which as of May 31, 2019, were loans from an officer of the Company totaling $23,500. The loans had an original due date of June 30, 2014 and have been extended to June 30, 2020. They are not collateralized, and bear interest at 8% per annum. Interest expense was $1,880 for each of the years ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 and accrued interest on the notes totaled $17,457 and $15,577 at May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
On May 31, 2018, a stockholder, converted $92,500 of its accounts payable to a promissory note, which bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand. On May 31, 2019, the stockholder, converted $6,300 of its accounts payable to a promissory note which bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand, resulting in a total balance owed of $98,800. Interest expense was $7,526 and $0 for the years ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, and accrued interest on the notes totaled $7,526 and $0 at May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 6 – Recent Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated Recent Accounting Pronouncements and has determined that all such pronouncements either do not apply or their impact is insignificant to the financial statements.
NOTE 7 – Subsequent Events

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On September 11, 2017, KLJ & Associates, LLP resigned as LZG International, Inc.’s independent registered public accounting firm.
On September 11, 2017, the Company engaged Pritchett Siler & Hardy, P.C., Certified Public Accountants, as our independent registered public accounting firm.
On January 23, 2018, the Company dismissed Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC as its independent registered accounting firm and engaged Heaton & Company, PLLC, dba Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah, as its new independent registered accounting firm.
There were no disagreements between the Company and KLJ & Associates, LLP or Pritchett Siler & Hardy, P.C.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective because we had a control deficiency. During the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. Due to the size and operations of our Company we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another company with more personnel.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our principal executive officer is responsible to design or supervise a process that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies and procedures include:
• | maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, |
• | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and |
• | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. |
For the year ended May 31, 2019, management has relied on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013),” to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon that framework, management determined that in the preparation of the financial statements we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. Accordingly, our President has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective because lack of an adequate control environment constitutes a deficiency. Due to the size and operations of the Company we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another company with more personnel.
Our management determined that there were no changes made to our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.

23 |
Code of Ethics
Since we have only two persons serving as executive officers and directors and because we have minimal operations, we have not adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive and financial officers. Our board of directors will revisit this issue in the future to determine if adoption of a code of ethics is appropriate. In the meantime, our management intends to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosure in our reports to the SEC, and comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations.
Corporate Governance
We are a smaller reporting company with minimal operations and only two directors and executive officers. Our board of directors (“Board”) has general charge, supervision and control of the business and affairs of the Company. We believe this leadership structure is appropriate for the size of the Company. In addition, the Board’s role in the Company’s risk management process includes reviewing operational, financial, legal, regulatory, and strategic risks. The Board reviews these factors to enable it to understand and assess the Company’s risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. The Board has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process.
We do not have a standing nominating committee for directors, nor do we have an audit committee with an audit committee financial expert serving on that committee. Our Board acts as our nominating and audit committee.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Executive Officer Compensation
Our principal executive officer, Mr. Popp, did not receive compensation during the past fiscal year ended May 31, 2019. None of our named executive officers received any cash or non-cash compensation during the past two fiscal years, nor did they have outstanding equity awards at year end. We have not entered into employment contracts with our executive officers and their compensation, if any, will be determined at the discretion of our board of directors.
We currently do not have a compensation committee and during the last completed fiscal year our board of directors did not consider or approve any executive officer compensation.
We do not offer retirement benefit plans to our executive officers, nor have we entered into any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement, whether written or unwritten, that provides for payments to a named executive officer at, or in connection with, the resignation, retirement or other termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of the company or a change in the named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.
Director Compensation
We do not have any standard arrangement for compensation of our directors for any services provided as director, including services for committee participation or for special assignments.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Parties
The following information summarizes transactions during the past two fiscal years that we have either engaged in or propose to engage in, involving our executive officers, directors, more than 5% stockholders, or immediate family members of these persons. These transactions were negotiated between related parties without “arms length” bargaining and, as a result, the terms of these transactions may be different than transactions negotiated between unrelated persons.
During the fiscal years ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, First Equity Holdings, Corp. (“First Equity”), a 20% stockholder, provided consulting, administrative and professional services and provided to, or paid on behalf of the Company, out-of-pocket costs. During the 2019 year First Equity billed the Company $6,300 for its services and advances and during the 2018 year First Equity billed the Company $6,100. As of May 31, 2019, First Equity’s accounts payable total $6,100. Our board of directors acknowledged the validity and fairness of the services performed and the costs incurred, and approved the charges. On May 31, 2018, First Equity converted $92,500 of the $98,600 accounts payable owed to a promissory note, and on May 31, 2019, First Equity converted an additional $6,300 in accounts payable to a promissory note, which totaled $98,800 at May 31, 2019, bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand.
During the years ended May 31, 2009 and 2010, our Director and President, Greg L. Popp, loaned an aggregate of $23,500 to the Company in a series of loans. These funds were used for our operational expenses. On April 20, 2010, all of the loans were combined into one promissory note which carries interest at 8%, is not collateralized and matured at June 30, 2012. Mr. Popp extended the due date of the note to June 30, 2020. Accrued interest on the notes were $17,457 at May 31, 2019.
Director Independence
None of our directors are independent directors as defined by NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(a)(2). This rule defines persons as “independent” who are neither officers nor employees of the company and have no relationships that, in the opinion of the board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as directors.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
Auditor Fees
The following table presents the aggregate fees billed by Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah for each of the last two fiscal years in connection with the audit of our financial statements and other professional services.
2019 | 2018 | |||||||
Audit fees | $ | 6,400 | $ | 800 | ||||
Audit-related fees | 0 | 0 | ||||||
Tax fees | 0 | 0 | ||||||
All other fees | $ | 0 | $ | 0 |
Audit fees represent fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q or services that are normally provided by our principal accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
26 |
Audit-related fees represent professional services rendered for assurance and related services by the accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements that are not reported under audit fees.
Tax fees represent professional services rendered by the accounting firm for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
All other fees represent fees billed for products and services provided by the accounting firm, other than the services reported for the other three categories.
Pre-approval Policies
We do not have an audit committee currently serving and as a result our board of directors performs the duties of an audit committee. Our board of directors will evaluate and approve in advance the scope and cost of the engagement of an auditor. We do not rely on pre-approval policies and procedures.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Authorized Capital Stock
The Company has 120,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock described as follows: The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock with $.001 par value. The Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with $.001 par value to be issued in five (5) series.
Common Stock: The common stock has equal rights and privileges with respect to voting, liquidation and dividend rights. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Upon issuance of preferred stock, the common stock may have junior rights as compared to the preferred stock. Stockholders of the Company have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock or any other securities. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock: Our board of directors is authorized to establish the number of shares to be included in each series and the preferences, rights of conversion, limitations and other relative rights of each series. As of the date of this filing, our board of directors has not authorized a series, nor issued any preferred stock.
Other Securities
As of the date of this filing, we do not have any debt securities, warrants or options outstanding.
Voting Rights
A majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter by each voting group, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders, but in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one third of the shares of each voting group entitled to vote. The vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon is sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by law.
Dividend Policy
If our Board of Directors declares dividends, all holders of our common stock are entitled to participate proportionally out of the funds legally available therefrom. These dividends may be paid in cash, property or additional shares of common stock. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business.
Transfer Agent
Our transfer agent is Standard Registrar & Stock Transfer Co., Inc. located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
