PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, JANUARY 31, 2023 |
Up to 75,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
THE MARQUIE GROUP, INC. ________________________________________ |
| This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time, of up to 75,000,000 shares of the common stock of The Marquie Group, Inc. (hereafter, “we” “us” “our”, “TMGI” or the “Company”) by the Selling Stockholders. We are not selling any shares of common stock in this offering. We, therefore, will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders. We do however, receive proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to the Financing Agreements. Any participating broker-dealers and, if the Selling Stockholders is an affiliate of any such broker-dealers, are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer or affiliates of a broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed us that they are not broker-dealers, are not affiliates of a broker dealer, and do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute our common stock. Our common stock is traded on the over-the-counter market under the symbol “TMGI”. The closing price for our common stock on November 21, 2022 was $0.0056 per share, as reported by the OTC Pink. The shares being registered herein are comprised of 75,000,000 shares of common stock that are issuable pursuant to the Financing Agreements that we entered into with the Selling Stockholders on October 12, 2022 and June 10, 2022 respectively. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to MacRab under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement will be equal to 90% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Common Stock on OTC Pink during the six (6) Trading Days immediately following the Clearing Date. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to QuickCap under the QuickCap Purchase Agreement will be at a price equal to the lower of $0.05 or 50% of the lowest trading price for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Because the actual date and price per share of the Company’s common stock pursuant to any such conversion or put right under the Financing Agreements is unknown, the actual purchase price for the shares is unknown. Accordingly, we caution readers that, although we are registering 75,000,000 shares, there is no minimum under the QuickCap Purchase Agreement, and there is a minimum purchase price of $0.01 under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement, therefore, the maximum amount of our shares that may be registered and issued by the Company pursuant to the Financing Agreements may be substantially greater than the 75,000,000 being registered hereunder. See “Summary of Financing Agreements” on page 29 for a more complete discussion of the Financing Agreements and the terms by which we may issue additional shares of our common stock. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect that we will need approximately $600,000 in capital to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of this prospectus. We intend to raise capital to fund our operations through sales of multi-media and entertainment related products and services, borrowings, and private placements of our common stock. An investment in our common stock is subject to many risks and an investment in our shares will also involve a high degree of risk. The shares issuable from the Financing Agreements will dilute the ownership interest and voting power of existing stockholders. See “Risk Factors” on page 4 to read about factors you should consider before purchasing shares of our common stock. _______________________________________ Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.

| | |
| · | The risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus and in our filings with the SEC. |

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights some of the information in this prospectus. It is not complete and may not contain all of the information that you may want to consider. You should read carefully the more detailed information set forth under “Risk Factors” and the other information included in this prospectus. Except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “TMGI” and the “Company” refer to The Marquie Group, Inc. We refer in this prospectus to our executive officers and other members of our management team, collectively, as “Management.”
The Marquie Group, Inc. was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida, as Maximum Consulting, Inc. and shortly thereafter changed its name to ZhongSen International Tea Company, with the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The Company commenced business activities in August, 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd. However, due to lack of capital, the Company was unable to implement its business plan fully. On May 31, 2013 the Company acquired Music of Your Life, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYL Nevada”). As a result of the acquisition, MYL Nevada became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company changed its name to Music of Your Life, Inc. effective July 26, 2013 operating as a syndicated radio network producing live concerts, television shows and radio programming. With the dramatic increase in music licensing fees and the decrease in traditional radio advertising formats, the Company found it difficult to achieve profitability with its Music of Your Life syndication radio service. In response to this, the Company began to explore partnering with products to be marketed through radio spots on the Company’s wide-reaching radio network. On August 16, 2018, the Company merged into The Marquie Group, Inc., a development stage health and beauty products company for the exclusive right to market and sell products under development, and subsequently changed its name to The Marquie Group, Inc.
On September 26, 2022, the Company acquired 25% of Simply Whim, LLC, a skincare company with a full line of health and beauty products under the “Whim” brand. As a result, the Company is now a direct-to-consumer sales and marketing company with its own line of innovative health and beauty products. The Company markets these products through its wholly owned subsidiary Music of Your Life, a syndicated radio network heard nationwide on AM, FM and HD terrestrial radio stations, and simulcast over the internet. This is made possible by 30 and 60 second commercials airing every hour which are targeted toward the Music of Your Life listening audience. Broadcasting more than 40 years, Music of Your Life is the longest running music radio format in syndication. Information regarding the Whim products, including the Whim store can be found at www.simplywhim.com. You can learn more about the Company at www.themarquiegroup.com. Our website, however, does not constitute a part of this prospectus.
We are governed by our sole officer and director Marc Angell. Our principal office is located at 7901 4th Street North, Suite 4000, St. Petersburg, FL 33702-4305. We have one full time employee and utilize the services of various contract personnel from time to time.
We are filing this prospectus in connection with shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Financing Agreements. the Selling Stockholders are offering for sale up to 75,000,000 shares of our common stock. The Selling Stockholders are not affiliates of the Company. On October 12, 2022 and June 10, 2022 respectively, we entered into the Financing Agreements with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which, the Selling Stockholders agreed to purchase in excess of $5 million worth of of our common stock pursuant to the respective terms of their Financing Agreements. Additionally, we entered into Registration Rights Agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the shares that may be issued to the Selling Stockholders under the Financing Agreements.
The Selling Stockholders are considered underwriters of The Marquie Group, Inc. The term “underwriter” means any person who has purchased from an issuer with a view to, or offers or sells for an issuer in connection with, the distribution of any security, or participates or has a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or participates or has a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking; but such term shall not include a person whose interest is limited to a commission from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission. As used in this paragraph the term “issuer” shall include, in addition to an issuer, any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by the issuer, or any person under direct or indirect common control with the issuer. In other words, an underwriter must make public disclosure similar to disclosure made by an issuer in the event of purchases and sales of securities.
Under the terms of the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement, we do not have the right to commence any sales to MacRab under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement until the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct MacRab to purchase shares of our common stock, but we would be unable to sell shares to them if such purchase would result in their respective beneficial ownership equaling more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Except as described in this prospectus, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to MacRab. We may at any time in our sole discretion terminate the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement without fee, penalty or cost upon one business day notice.
Under the terms of the QuickCap Purchase Agreement, we have issued a twelve-month twelve percent convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $38,880.00 convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to the lower of $0.05 or 50% of the lowest trading price for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to the date of conversion (the “QuickCap Note”).
Issuances of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to the Selling Stockholders.
We are subject to the information requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith file quarterly and annual reports, as well as other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under File No. 000-54163. Such reports and other information filed with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates, and at various regional and district offices maintained by the SEC throughout the United States. Information about the operation of the SEC’s public reference facilities may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and other information regarding us and other registrants that file electronic reports and information with the SEC.
SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING
Securities Offered | The Selling Stockholders are offering up to 75,000,000 shares of our common stock for public and private resale. |
| |
Offering Price | The Selling Stockholders will offer and sell their shares of common stock at a price of $0.0056 per share as quoted on the OTC Pink as of November 21, 2022, at other prevailing prices, or at privately negotiated prices. |
| |
Shares Outstanding | We are authorized to issue 50,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 756,612,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. We entered into the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement and the QuickCap Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Financing Agreements”) pursuant to which MacRab has agreed to purchase up to $5 million worth of shares of our common stock from time to time. These put shares are issuable from time to time, as the Company may direct, at a purchase price of 90% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Common Stock on OTC Pink during the six (6) Trading Days immediately following the Clearing Date, and QuickCap purchased under the QuickCap Purchase Agreement a twelve-month twelve percent convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $38,880.00 convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to the lower of $0.05 or 50% of the lowest trading price for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to the date of conversion (the “QuickCap Note”). Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the QuickCap Purchase Agreement, QuickCap was issued a warrant to acquire 776,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.05 per share. For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed a purchase price of 0.0028 and the initial registration of 75,000,000 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Financing Agreements to the Selling Stockholders. However, because the actual date and price per share of the Company’s common stock pursuant to any such conversion or put right under the Financing Agreements is unknown, the actual purchase price for the shares is unknown. Accordingly, we caution readers that, although we are registering 75,000,000 shares, there is no minimum under the QuickCap Purchase Agreement, and there is a minimum purchase price of $0.01 under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement, therefore, the maximum amount of our shares that may be registered and issued by the Company pursuant to the Financing Agreements may be substantially greater than the 75,000,000 being registered hereunder. (see “Business – Summary of Financing Agreements” on page 29). We are also authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. 200 shares of our preferred stock are designated Series A Preferred Stock and issued and outstanding at this time. |
| |
Symbol for Our Common Stock | TMGI. |
| |
Use of Proceeds | We are not selling any shares of common stock in this offering. We, therefore, will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders. We do however, receive proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to the Financing Agreements. |
| |
Distribution Arrangements | The Selling Stockholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Pink or other market or trading platform on which our shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. We will not be involved in any of the selling efforts of the Selling Stockholder. |
| |
Risk Factors | An investment in our common stock is subject to significant risks that you should carefully consider before investing in our common stock. For a further discussion of these risk factors, please see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4. |
| |
Underwriter | The Selling Stockholders are considered underwriters of The Marquie Group, Inc. An underwriter must make public disclosure similar to disclosure made by an issuer in the event of purchases and sales of securities. |
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves certain risks relating to our business and operations. You should carefully consider these risks, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase shares of our Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 were prepared assuming that we will continue our operations as a going concern. We do not, however, have a history of operating profitably. Consequently, our independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued operations are highly dependent upon our ability to increase revenues, decrease operating costs, and complete equity and/or debt financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We estimate that we will not be able to continue as a going concern after December 31, 2022 unless we are able to secure capital from one of these sources of financing. If we are unable to secure such financing, we may cease operations and investors in our common stock could lose all of their investment.
We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors' independence, and audit committee oversight. We have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
As a smaller public company, our costs of complying with SEC reporting rules are disproportionately high relative to other larger companies.
The Marquie Group, Inc. is considered a “reporting issuer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Therefore, we incur certain costs of compliance with applicable SEC reporting rules and regulations including, but not limited to attorney’s fees, accounting and auditing fees, other professional fees, financial printing costs and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs in an amount estimated at approximately $200,000 per year. In proportion to our operations, these costs are far more significant than our publicly-traded competitors. Unless we are able to reduce these costs or increase our operating revenues, our costs to remain a reporting issuer will limit our ability to use our cash resources for other more productive uses that could provide returns to our shareholders.
We are highly dependent upon a few key contracts, the termination of which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Although we intend to grow The Marquie Group, Inc. to become a larger health and beauty product, and broadcasting company, at present we have a small customer base and are highly dependent upon a few key customers. We are therefore highly dependent upon repeat orders from our existing customers while we generate sales to new customers. The loss of any of these customers until we have added new customers, would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
We do not presently have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution. This absence may adversely affect our operations.
To expand our business, we require access to capital and credit. We do not presently have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution. The absence of a traditional credit facility with a financial institution could adversely impact our operations. If we are unable to access lines of credit, we may be unable to produce health and beauty products to certain customers who would otherwise be willing to enter into purchase contracts with us. The loss of potential and existing customers because of an inability to finance the purchase of products and services would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments could disrupt our business.
We enter into sales and purchase orders with customers and suppliers for products and services at fixed prices. To the extent either a customer or supplier fails to perform on their commitment, we may be required to sell or purchase other available products and services at prevailing market prices, which could be significantly different than the fixed price within the sale and purchase order and therefore significant differences in these prices could cause losses that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we are unable to retain our sales staff, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
Our ability to compete with other health, beauty and broadcasting companies, and develop our business is largely dependent on the services of Marc Angell, our Chief Executive Officer, and certain other third-party consultants and suppliers which assist him in securing sales of certain products and services. If we are unable to retain Mr. Angell’s services and to attract other qualified senior management and key personnel on terms satisfactory to us, our business will be adversely affected. We do not have key man life insurance covering the life of Mr. Angell and, even if we are able to afford such a key man policy, our coverage levels may not be sufficient to offset any losses we may suffer as a result of Mr. Angell’s death, disability, or other inability to perform services for us.
We may acquire businesses and enter into joint ventures that will expose us to increased operating risks.
As part of our growth strategy, we intend to acquire other health, beauty companies and other related service businesses in broadcasting. We cannot provide any assurance that we will find attractive acquisition candidates in the future, that we will be able to acquire such candidates on economically acceptable terms or that we will be able to finance acquisitions on economically acceptable terms. Even if we are able to acquire new businesses in the future, they could result in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness and other expenses or potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and may affect the market price of our common stock or restrict our operations. We have also entered into joint venture arrangements intended to complement or expand our business and will likely continue to do so in the future. These joint ventures are subject to substantial risks and liabilities associated with their operations, as well as the risk that our relationships with our joint venture partners do not succeed in the manner that we anticipate.
We face intense competition and, if we are not able to effectively compete in our markets, our revenues may decrease.
Competitive pressures in our markets could adversely affect our competitive position, leading to a possible loss of customers or a decrease in sales, either of which could result in decreased revenues and profits. Our competitors are numerous, ranging from large multinational corporations, which have significantly greater capital resources than us, to relatively small and specialized firms. Our business could be adversely affected because of increased competition from these companies, who may choose to increase their direct marketing or provide less advantageous price and credit terms to us than to our competitors.
Current and future litigation could adversely affect us.
Though we are currently not involved in any legal proceedings, from time to time we are involved in legal proceedings in our ordinary course of business. Lawsuits and other legal proceedings can involve substantial costs, including the costs associated with investigation, litigation and possible settlement, judgment, penalty or fine. As a smaller company, the collective costs of litigation proceedings can represent a drain on our cash resources, as well as an inordinate amount of our management’s time and addition. Moreover, an adverse ruling in respect of certain litigation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.
We have limited the liability of our board of directors and management.
We have adopted provisions in our Articles of Incorporation which limit the liability of our directors and officers and have also adopted provisions in our bylaws which provide for indemnification by the Company of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Florida corporate law. Our articles of incorporation generally provides that our directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit our shareholders’ ability to hold directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty.
In addition to provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we have also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that provide a right of indemnification to the fullest extent permissible under Florida law. These charter, Bylaw, and contractual provisions may limit our shareholders’ ability to hold our directors and officers accountable for breaches of their duties, or otherwise discourage shareholders from enforcing their rights, either directly or derivatively, against our directors or officers.
Risks Relating To This Offering and Our Common Stock
If the Selling Stockholders sell a large number of shares all at once or in blocks, the market price of our shares would most likely decline.
The Selling Stockholders are offering up to 75,000,000 shares of our common stock through this prospectus. Should the Selling Stockholders decide to sell our shares at a price below the current market price at which they are quoted, such sales will cause that market price to decline. Moreover, we believe that the offer or sale of a large number of shares at any price may cause the market price to fall. A steep decline in the price of our common stock would adversely affect our ability to raise additional equity capital, and even if we were successful in raising such capital, the terms of such raise may be substantially dilutive to current shareholders.
The sale of our common stock to the Selling Stockholders may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by the Selling Stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
On October 12, 2022 and June 10, 2022 respectively, we entered into the Financing Agreements with the Selling Stockholders. Pursuant to the Financing Agreements, the Selling Stockholders committed to purchase in excess of $5 million of our common stock. The shares issuable and that may be sold in the future pursuant to the Financing Agreements may be sold by us to the Selling Stockholders at our discretion from time to time, commencing after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus. The per share purchase price for the shares issuable and that we may sell to the Selling Stockholders under the Financing Agreements will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock, and will be, in the case of MacRab, equal to 90% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Common Stock on OTC Pink during the six (6) Trading Days immediately following the Clearing Date and QuickCap at a price equal to the lower of $0.05 or 50% of the lowest trading price for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.
The Selling Stockholders are considered underwriters of The Marquie Group, Inc. An underwriter must make public disclosure similar to disclosure made by an issuer in the event of purchases and sales of securities.
The Selling Stockholders will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock.
The common stock issuable and to be issued to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Financing Agreements will be purchased at a discount to market. The Selling Stockholders have a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If the Selling Stockholders sell the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, the Selling Stockholders may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that they hold. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.
Shares issuable under the QuickCap Note and the Company’s put right under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement may convert into a greater number of shares than we have assumed in this prospectus.
We are registering 75,000,000 shares of our common stock for resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Financing Agreements, but the actual number of shares we may end up issuing to the Selling Stockholders may be substantially higher. For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed a purchase price of 0.0028, however, there is no minimum under the QuickCap Purchase Agreement, and there is a minimum purchase price of $0.01 under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement. Even though this prospectus covers only 75,000,000 shares, we may be required to issue a much larger number of shares of our common stock if the trading price were to decrease substantially. In such a circumstance, our existing shareholders could suffer substantial dilution and we cannot guarantee that investors would not lose their entire investment.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The market price and marketability of shares of our common stock may be affected significantly by numerous factors, including some over which we have no control and which may not be directly related to us. These factors include the following:
| · | The lack of trading volume in our shares; |
| | |
| · | Price and volume fluctuations in the stock market from time to time, which often are unrelated to our operating performance; |
| | |
| · | Variations in our operating results; |
| | |
| · | Any shortfall in revenue or any increase in losses from expected levels; |
| | |
| · | Announcements of new initiatives, joint ventures, or commercial arrangements; and |
| | |
| · | General economic trends and other external factors. |
| | |
| · | If the trading price of our common stock falls significantly following completion of this offering, this may cause some of our shareholders to sell our shares, which would further adversely affect the trading market for, and liquidity of, our common stock. If we seek to raise capital through future equity financings, this volatility may adversely affect our ability to raise such equity capital |
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock will constitute “penny stock”. A penny stock is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve an investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination. Brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We have never paid a dividend and we intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. Consequently, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. We cannot assure you that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
As of the date of this prospectus, our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Pink. The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.
Based upon the terms of the Financing Agreements as described on page 29 of this prospectus under “Summary of Financing Agreements”, the following table illustrates the number and percentage of shares of our common stock held by the Selling Stockholders upon issuance of the shares that are covered by this prospectus:
Conversion at Assumed Price(1) |
Principal Amount | | Number of Shares Received(2) | | Pct. of Total Outstanding Shares(3) | | Pct. of Outstanding Shares Held by Non-Affiliates(4) |
| | | | | | |
$ | 5,038,880 | | | | 75,000,000 | | | | 9.01 | % | | | 45.52 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
$ | 5,038,880 | | | | 75,000,000 | | | | 9.01 | % | | | 45.52 | % |
| (1) | The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to MacRab under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement will be equal to 90% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Common Stock on OTC Pink during the six (6) Trading Days immediately following the Clearing Date. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to QuickCap under the QuickCap Purchase Agreement will be at a price equal to the lower of $0.05 or 50% of the lowest trading price for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to the date of conversion. For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed a share price of $0.0028. |
| (2) | Because the actual date and price per share under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement and the QuickCap Purchase Agreement is unknown, the actual price per share is undetermined. Consequently, the number of shares actually issuable may be substantially greater than the number being registered. |
| (3) | Based on 756,612,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of November 21, 2022, and assuming the issuance of 75,000,000 new shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholders. |
| (4) | Based on 756,612,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of November 21, 2022, and assuming the issuance of 75,000,000 new shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholders, but excluding shares held by executive officers, directors, and beneficial holders of more than 10% of our common stock equaling 666,859,618 shares. |
The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors; |
| | |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| | |
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| | |
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| | |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
| | |
| · | to cover short sales made after the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the SEC; |
| | |
| · | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| | |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| | |
| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We have advised the Selling Stockholders that it may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which this registration statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC. If a Selling Stockholders uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to the Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of its shares under this registration statement.
Penny Stock Rules
The SEC has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” as such term is defined by Rule 15g-9. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stocks under the Exchange Act. The shares may remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of our shares as penny stocks makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in The Marquie Group, Inc. will be subject to the penny stock rules.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document approved by the SEC, which: (i) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (ii) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act; (iii) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (iv) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (v) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (vi) contains such other information and is in such form as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (i) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (ii) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (iii) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Regulation M
During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares we are registering by this registration statement, we are required to comply with Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M defines a “distribution” as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a “distribution participant” as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation M prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. We have informed the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this prospectus, and we have also advised the Selling Stockholders of the requirements for delivery of this prospectus in connection with any sales of the common stock offered by this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders in this offering. However, We do receive proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to the Financing Agreements, including, up to $5 million under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement, assuming that we sell the full amount of our common stock that we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the MacRab under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement. See “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information.
We currently expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of shares to the Selling Stockholders under the Financing Agreements to further develop our health and beauty product lines and marketing of the same through our internet radio service and for other general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion in determining how we will allocate the proceeds from any sales to the Selling Stockholders.
Even if we sell in excess of $5 million worth of shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Financing Agreements, we will need to obtain additional financing in the future in order to fully fund all of our planned product and service-related research and development activities. Furthermore, it is likely that we will need to do further registration statements to fill the Selling Stockholders Financing Agreements. We may seek additional capital in the private and/or public equity markets, pursue government contracts and grants as well as business development activities to continue our operations, respond to competitive pressures, develop new products and services, and to support new strategic partnerships. We are evaluating additional equity financing opportunities on an ongoing basis and may execute them when appropriate. However, there can be no assurances that we can consummate such a transaction, or consummate a transaction at favorable pricing.
DETERMINATION OF THE OFFERING PRICE
The Selling Stockholders will determine at what price it may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons.
Overview
We are a direct-to-consumer sales and marketing company with an exclusive pipeline of innovative health and beauty products. The Company markets these products through its wholly owned subsidiary Music of Your Life, a syndicated radio network heard nationwide on AM, FM and HD terrestrial radio stations, and simulcast over the internet at www.musicofyourlife.com. This is made possible by 30 and 60 second commercials airing every hour which are targeted toward the Music of Your Life listening audience. Broadcasting more than 40 years, Music of Your Life is the longest running music radio format in syndication. With the acquisition of Simply Whim, LLC, the Company will report revenue from the Whim health and beauty products on its balance sheet, assuming the product line continues generating revenue. Working with the product development team at Simply Whim, the Company will be able to create new and innovative products under the Whim brand. The primary sales channel for the Whim products is found at the Simply Whim website, www.simplywhim.com.
Because we have incurred losses, income tax expenses are immaterial. No tax benefits have been booked related to operating loss carry-forwards, given our uncertainty of being able to utilize such loss carry-forwards in future years. We anticipate incurring additional losses during the coming year.
Results of Operations
Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 and the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021.
Revenues
Fiscal year ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company generated net revenues of $0 during the year ended May 31, 2022 as compared to $60 for the year ended May 31, 2021.

Three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company generated no net revenues during the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021. Revenues in the past have been generated from spot sales on our syndicated radio network.
Cost of Sales

We expect that salaries and consulting expenses, that are cash-based instead of share-based, will increase as we add personnel to build our multi-media entertainment business.
Three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021. Accrued salaries and consulting fees were $60,000 and $30,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We expect that salaries and consulting expenses will increase as we add personnel to build our multi-media entertainment business.
Professional Fees
Fiscal year ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. Professional fees for the year ended May 31, 2022 were $97,162 as compared to $102,924 for the year ended May 31, 2021. We anticipate that professional fees will increase in future periods as we scale up our operations.

We anticipate that professional fees will increase in future periods as we scale up our operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Fiscal year ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $45,403 for the year ended May 31, 2022 as compared to $63,398 for the year ended May 31, 2021. We anticipate that Other SG&A expenses will increase commensurate with an increase in our operations.
Three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,305 and $4,161 for the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We anticipate that SG&A expenses will increase commensurate with an increase in our operations.
Other Income (Expense)
Fiscal year ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company had net other expense of $3,853,387 for the year ended May 31, 2022 as compared to $2,397,922 for the year ended May 31, 2021. For the year ended May 31, 2022, the company recorded a gain on the settlement of debt in the amount of $260,032, incurred interest expense of $645,021, expense from derivative liability of $526,690 and loss on conversion of notes payable and accrued interest of $2,941,708. For the year ended May 31, 2021, the company incurred interest expense of $989,810, income from derivative liability of $36,930 and loss on conversion of notes payable and accrued interest of $1,445,042.
Three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company had net other expenses of $12,014 for the three months ended August 31, 2022 compared to net other expenses of $2,968,187 for the three months ended August 31, 2021. During the three months ended August 31, 2022, the company recorded income on the change in the fair value of the derivative liability in the amount of $41,194. During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the company recorded expense on the change in the fair value of the derivative liability in the amount of $1,271,434. During the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, other expenses incurred were also comprised of interest expenses related to notes payable in the amount of $53,208 and $243,261, which included the amortization of debt discounts of $14,878 and $100,374, respectively. During the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a loss on the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest in the amount of $-0- and $1,453,492, respectively, based on difference between the fair market value of the stock at issuance and the amount of notes payable and accrued interest converted.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2022, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $-0- in cash and cash equivalents. We hold our cash reserves in a major United States bank. Since inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock.
We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in negative working capital and an accumulated deficit at August 31, 2022 of $5,778,260 and $15,989,629, respectively, which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We generated a net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2022 of $111,440. Without additional revenues, working capital loans, or equity investment, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue operations.
We believe these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small public companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of our products and services at levels sufficient to cover our costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, and (iii) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.
We believe that our capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves, particularly given the resources necessary to expand our multi-media entertainment business. We will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in our business strategy. Other than the agreement discussed below, there is presently no agreement in place that will guarantee financing for our Company, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect our Company and our business, and may cause us to substantially curtail or even cease operations. Consequently, you could incur a loss of your entire investment in the Company.
On June 10, 2022, the Company entered into the QuickCap Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, and QuickCap Capital, LLC ("QuickCap"), pursuant to which the Company issued that certain convertible promissory note (the “QuickCap Note”) in the face amount of $38,880.00 in exchange for $35,000 in consideration therefor.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an on-going basis.
MANAGEMENT’S PLAN TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its securities, and (2) short-term borrowings from shareholders or related party when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.
Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph which has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

BUSINESS
Our Company
The Marquie Group, Inc. (hereafter, “we”, ”our”, ”us”, “TMGI”, or the ”Company”) was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida, as ZhongSen International Tea Company, with the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The Company commenced business activities in August, 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd. However, due to lack of capital, the Company was unable to implement its business plan fully. On May 31, 2013 the Company acquired Music of Your Life, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYL Nevada”) in a reverse triangular merger and became a multi-media entertainment company, producing live concerts, television shows and radio programming. Subsequent to this, on August 16, 2018 the Company merged with The Marquie Group, Inc., a Utah development stage health and beauty products company and changed its name to The Marquie Group, Inc. On September 26, 2022, the Company acquired 25% of Simply Whim, LLC, a skincare company with a full line of health and beauty products under the “Whim” brand. Product information and webstore can be found at www.simplywhim.com. You can learn more about us at our website www.themarquiegroup.com. Our website, however, does not constitute a part of this prospectus.
Operational Overview
The Company is a direct-to-consumer sales and marketing company with an exclusive pipeline of innovative health and beauty products. The Company markets these products through its wholly owned subsidiary Music of Your Life, a syndicated radio network heard nationwide on AM, FM and HD terrestrial radio stations, and simulcast over the internet at www.musicofyourlife.com. This is made possible by 30 and 60 second commercials airing every hour which are targeted toward the Music of Your Life listening audience. Broadcasting more than 40 years, Music of Your Life is the longest running music radio format in syndication. With the acquisition of Simply Whim, LLC, the Company will report revenue from the Whim health and beauty products on its balance sheet, assuming the product line continues generating revenue. Working with the product development team at Simply Whim, the Company will be able to create new and innovative products under the Whim brand. The primary sales channel for the Whim products is found at the Simply Whim website, www.simplywhim.com.
Our Business Strategy
With the dramatic increase in music licensing fees and the decrease in traditional radio advertising formats, the Company found it difficult to achieve profitability with its stand-alone Music of Your Life syndication radio service. In response to this, the Company began to explore partnering with a product line to be marketed through radio spots on the Company’s wide-reaching radio network. With the merger of The Marquie Group and subsequent acquisition of Simply Whim, the Company now has access to a developing health and beauty line of products called “Whim” to market and sell directly to the consumer through a series of radio commercials, on the Company website at musicofyourlife.com and on the Simply Whim website at www.simlywhim.com. The Whim product line includes a regime of face care products and other beauty products as they become available.
Objectives
Our objective is to sell unique and well-branded products to the Music of Your Life listening audience through a series of local and nationwide radio commercials. To accomplish this objective, the Company will continue to explore relationships with product manufacturers for the rights to sell their products directly, circumventing the traditional advertising agency approach, and by developing new and innovative products under the Whim brand.
Market Advantage
Music of Your Life can be heard on AM, FM, and HD terrestrial radio stations across the United States and worldwide over the Internet. This well-established listener base gives the company a strong market advantage over the typical Internet radio service. Using cutting edge, low-cost technology for program delivery with the Barix system, the Company operates at lower overhead than its larger competitors.
Competition
Competition in the radio industry is fierce, however, the traditional style of delivering syndicated programming is limited to just a handful of offerings. Most of these competing services offer a wide range of programming with the potential to reach millions of listeners. However, these businesses rely upon advertising agencies for their commercials without the flexibility to partner directly with the companies offering goods and services. This can be a benefit to our competitors as these ad agencies usually produce profitable results. However, this is also a very expensive method for producing revenue. The Marquie Group approach is that of direct-to-consumer model which cuts the cost of commissions to a third party resulting in higher profits per sale and affords the company greater flexibility. With the addition of the Whim line of products, the Company can sell-through to the listening audience with products owned by the Company.
Employees
As of May 31, 2022, Marc Angell (Director and Chief Executive Officer) is the only non-employee officers and/or directors of the Company. The Company has no official employees. We currently have one part-time production person, an outside accountant, and an outside lawyer. Certain other executive positions have been identified, and we intend to fill these positions. Additional other support staff and other personnel will be hired when there is adequate capital available to do so.
We have undertaken preliminary investigations concerning candidates for the above positions and do not currently anticipate difficulty in filling such positions with qualified persons; however, we cannot assure you that we will in fact be able to hire qualified persons for such positions when needed. Additional positions to be filled may be identified from time to time by the Company. We expect to be able to attract and retain such additional employees as are necessary, commensurate with the anticipated future expansion of our business. Further, we expect to continue to use consultants, contract labor, attorneys, and accountants as necessary.
The loss of our CEO Marc Angell would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company. We intend to reduce this risk by obtaining key-man insurance if affordable insurance coverage may be obtained. We cannot assure you that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance or that the Company will be successful in recruiting needed personnel.
Properties
Our principal executive offices are located at 7901 4th Street North, Suite 4000, St. Petersburg, FL 33702-4305. We believe that our office facilities are suitable and adequate for our operations as currently conducted and contemplated.
Legal Proceedings
The Company currently has no litigation pending, threatened or contemplated, or unsatisfied judgments
From time to time, we may be a party to legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with purchasers and suppliers.
Summary of Financing Agreements
Terms of the QuickCap Purchase Agreement. On June 10, 2022, the Company entered into the QuickCap Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, and QuickCap Capital, LLC ("QuickCap"), pursuant to which the Company issued that certain convertible promissory note (the “QuickCap Note”) in the face amount of $38,880.00 in exchange for $35,000 in consideration therefor. The QuickCap Note matures twelve months from the date of issuance, and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The QuickCap Note may be prepaid until the Maturity Date at (a) 100% multiplied by the Principal Amount then outstanding plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Amount to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (c) $750.00 to reimburse Holder for administrative fees. The QuickCap Note, together with all interest as accrued is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the lower of $0.05 or 50% of the lowest trading price for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to the date of conversion. In addition, the Company issued QuickCap a warrant (the “QuickCap Warrant”) to acquire 776,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Furthermore, the shares issuable from the QuickCap Purchase Agreement must be registered with the SEC in a current registration statement. The registration rights of QuickCap are outlined in the Registration Rights Agreement filed as an exhibit to this report and details the obligations of the Company.
Terms of the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement. On October 12, 2022, the Company entered into the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement by and among the Company, and MacRab, LLC a Florida Limited Liability Company (the "Selling Stockholders"), pursuant to which MacRab has agreed to purchase up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) of the Company's common stock to be sold at a 10% discount to the average of the two (2) lowest Volume Weighted Average Price of the Issuer’s common stock during the six (6) trading days after the clearing date.

The registration rights of MacRab are outlined in the Registration Rights Agreement filed as an exhibit to this report and details the obligations of the Company.
Under applicable SEC rules and relevant Exchange Act Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, we are registering 75,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Financing Agreements and sold by the Selling Stockholders. However, because the actual date and price per share for the issuance of shares under the Financing Agreements is unknown, the actual purchase price for the shares is unknown. Accordingly, we caution readers that, although we are registering 75,000,000 shares, there is no minimum under the QuickCap Purchase Agreement, and there is a minimum purchase price of $0.01 under the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement (and therefore no maximum amount of our shares that may be issued by the Company pursuant to the Financing Agreements) and, therefore the number of shares actually issued from the Financing Agreements may be substantially greater than the number registered.
The Selling Stockholders are considered underwriters of The Marquie Group, Inc. An underwriter must make public disclosure similar to disclosure made by an issuer in the event of purchases and sales of securities.
Other than as set forth above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Financing Agreements. With respect to the MacRab Equity Commitment Agreement, we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to MacRab.

Director Independence
Because our common stock is listed on OTC Pink and it does not have a definition for "independence", we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
| · | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company; |
· the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
· a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
· the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
· the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
We do not have any independent directors. We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee. We do however have a code of ethics that applies to our officers, employees and director.
Compensation of Directors
Although various items were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors via unanimous written consent during the two fiscal years ended May 31, 2022 and the three months ended August 31, 2022, the Board held no formal meetings.
Board of Directors Meetings and Committees
Although various items were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors via unanimous written consent during the two fiscal years ended May 31, 2022 and the three months ended August 31, 2022, the Board held no formal meetings.
We do not have Audit or Compensation Committees of our board of directors. Because of the lack of financial resources available to us, we also do not have an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is described in Item 401 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.
Executive Officers
Marc Angell is our sole executive officer, serving as our Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, as well as our principal accounting and financial officer. Further information pertaining to Mr. Angell’s business background and experience is contained in the section above marked DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS.

To our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, based solely upon a review of such materials as are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, no other officer, director, or beneficial holder of more than ten percent of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock failed to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any form or report required to be so filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934.
Code of Ethics
The Company expects that its Officers and Directors will maintain appropriate standards of honesty and ethical conduct in connection with the performance of their duties on behalf of the Company. In recognition of this expectation, the Company has adopted a Code of Ethics. The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to codify standards the Company believes are reasonably necessary to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships and full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or other regulatory bodies and in other public communications made by the Company.

This summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you, and we refer you to the FBCA and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws for a more detailed description of the provisions summarized below.
The Marquie Group, Inc. was organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Florida on January 30, 2008. Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of May 31, 2022, there were approximately 2,262 record holders of our common stock. There are no outstanding other options or warrants to purchase stock.
Our charter provides that our board of directors may not amend our Articles of Incorporation without approval of our shareholders, including holders of our preferred shares. A decrease or increase in the number of shares of capital stock which we may issue would require an amendment of our charter.
At November 21, 2022, we had 756,612,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 200 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The number of shares outstanding does not include shares of common stock that are issuable pursuant to the Financing Agreements.

Common Stock
Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 50,000,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares of our common stock have equal rights as to earnings, assets, dividends and voting privileges. If and when we issue shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Financing Agreements, such shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Distributions may be paid to the holders of our common stock if, as and when authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of assets legally available therefor. Shares of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemption rights and are freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of our assets that are legally available for distribution after we pay all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of our preferred stock, if any preferred stock is outstanding at such time. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors.
Preferred Stock
Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. 200 Series A Preferred shares are designated, issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2022. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has voting rights equal to four times the sum of (a) all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of voting; plus (b) the total number of votes of all other classes of preferred stock which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting; divided by (c) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the time of voting. The Series A Preferred Stock continues to have no conversion, liquidation, or dividend rights.
Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers; Indemnification and Advance of Expenses
Pursuant to our charter and under the Florida Business Corporation Act (hereafter, the “FBCA”), our directors are not liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability in connection with a breach of duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for authorization of illegal dividend payments or stock redemptions under Florida law or any transaction from which a director has derived an improper personal benefit. Our charter provides that we are authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses) to our directors, officers, employees and agents (and any other persons to which applicable law permits us to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
We have previously entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our current directors and officers. The indemnification agreement indemnifies the indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, including against third-party claims and claims by or in right of the Company or any subsidiary or majority-owned partnership of the Company by reason of that person (including the advancement of expenses subject to certain conditions) (a) being a director, officer employee or agent of the Company, or of any subsidiary or majority-owned partnership of the Company or (b) serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity. If appropriate, we are entitled to assume the defense of the claim with counsel selected by us and approved by the indemnitee (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld). Separate counsel employed by the indemnitee will be at his or her own expense unless (1) the employment of separate counsel has been previously authorized by us, (2) the indemnitee reasonably concludes there may be a conflict of interest or (3) we have not, in fact, employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Provisions of the FBCA and Our Charter and Bylaws
Our charter and bylaws provide that our board of directors will have the exclusive power to make, alter, amend or repeal any provision of our bylaws.
Business Combinations
Section 607 of the FBCA, is applicable to corporations organized under the laws of the State of Florida. Subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, Section 607 of the FBCA provides that a corporation shall not engage in any business combination with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless (a) prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (b) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding certain shares) or (c) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. Except as specified therein, an interested stockholder is defined to mean any person that (1) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation; or (2) is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the relevant date, and the affiliates and associates of such person referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this sentence. Under certain circumstances, Section 607 of the FBCA makes it more difficult for an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the stockholders may, by adopting an amendment to the corporation's charter or by-laws, elect not to be governed by this section, effective twelve months after adoption. Our charter and by-laws do not exclude us from the restrictions imposed under Section 607 of the FBCA. It is anticipated that the provisions of Section 607 of the FBCA may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with the board of directors.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On January 26, 2015, we engaged Michael T. Studer CPA P.C. (“Studer”) as our independent registered accountant. To date, there have been no disagreements with Studer on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to Studer’s satisfaction would have caused Studer to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. Also, during the engagement period, there were no reportable events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
On July 14, 2022 we dismissed Michael T. Studer CPA P.C. (hereafter “Studer”) as the Company’s independent registered accountant. The Company engaged Studer as its independent registered accountant on January 22, 2015. During the period from January 22, 2015 through to July 14, 2022, the date of dismissal, there were no disagreements with Studer on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Studer would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report
Also on July 14, 2022, we engaged Gries & Associates, LLC (“Gries”), independent registered accountants, as our independent accountant following the dismissal of Studer. Prior to the engagement of Gries, the Company has not consulted with Gries regarding either:
(a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that Gries concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
(b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K), or a "reportable event" (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading, have been included.

Organization
The Marquie Group, Inc. (formerly Music of Your Life, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 30, 2008 under the name of “Zhong Sen International Tea Company”. From January 2008 to May 2013, the Company operated with the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wished to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide.

The above convertible notes contain a variable conversion feature based on the future trading price of the Company common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes is indeterminate. Accordingly, we have recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion features as a derivative liability at the respective issuance dates of the notes and charged the applicable amounts to debt discounts and the remainder to other expense. The increase (decrease) in the fair value of the derivative liability from the respective issuance dates of the notes to the measurement dates is charged (credited) to other expense (income). The fair value of the derivative liability of the notes is measured at the respective issuance dates and quarterly thereafter using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At August 31, 2022, the Company had negative working capital of $5,778,260 and an accumulated deficit of $15,989,629. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To date the Company has funded its operations through a combination of loans and sales of common stock. The Company anticipates another net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming year, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.
The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of notes payable and additional equity and by generating revenues through sales of products and services. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The following policies are considered to be significant:
a. Principles of Consolidation

(formerly Music of Your Life, Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2022
c. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are generally comprised of certain highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months.
e. Basic and Fully Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive instruments (such as convertible notes payable) have not been included in the diluted earnings per share computations as their effect were antidilutive for the periods presented.
f. Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Advance customer payments are recorded as deferred revenue until such time as they are recognized. The Company does not offer any cash rebates. Returns or discounts, if any, are netted against gross revenues.
g. Advertising
Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, were $-0- for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021.
h. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2022
At May 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,842,689, of which $3,340,960 expires in varying amounts through 2038 and $6,521,729 does not expire. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a substantial change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to future use.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of May 31, 2022 and 2021:
| | May 31, 2022 | | | May 31, 2021 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | | | |

Valuation allowance | | | (1,262,593 | ) | | | (1,202,614 | ) |

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pretax income (loss) for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 due to the following:
| | May 31, 2022 | | | May 31, 2021 | |
Expected tax (benefit) at 21% | | $ | (864,350 | ) | | $ | (602,529 | ) |
Non-deductible expense (non-taxable income) from derivative liability | | | 110,605 | | | | (7,755 | ) |
Non-deductible amortization of debt discounts | | | 76,007 | | | | 99,347 | |
Non-deductible loss on conversions of notes payable and accrued interest | | | 617,759 | | | | 303,459 | |
Change in valuation allowance | | | 59,979 | | | | 207,478 | |
Provision for income taxes | | $ | – | | | $ | – | |
For the periods presented, the Company had no tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. For the periods presented, the Company had no such interest or penalties.

| i. | Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places cash and cash equivalents at well-known quality financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for up to $250,000. The Company did not have any cash or cash equivalents in excess of this amount at May 31, 2022.
j. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed accounting pronouncements issued and have adopted any that are applicable to the Company. We have determined that none had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021.
Certain other accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and therefore have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.
NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

The above convertible notes contain a variable conversion feature based on the future trading price of the Company common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes is indeterminate. Accordingly, we have recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion features as a derivative liability at the respective issuance dates of the notes and charged the applicable amounts to debt discounts and the remainder to other expense. The increase (decrease) in the fair value of the derivative liability from the respective issuance dates of the notes to the measurement dates is charged (credited) to other expense (income). The fair value of the derivative liability of the notes is measured at the respective issuance dates and quarterly thereafter using the Black Scholes option pricing model.
Assumptions used for the calculations of the derivative liability of the notes at May 31, 2022 include (1) stock price of $0.001 per share, (2) exercise prices ranging from $0.0004 to $0.00065 per share, (3) terms ranging from 0 days to 88 days, (4) expected volatility of 1,986% and (5) risk free interest rates ranging from 0.73% to 1.16%.
Assumptions used for the calculations of the derivative liability of the notes at May 31, 2021 include (1) stock price of $0.0006 per share, (2) exercise prices ranging from $0.0001 to $0.0005 per share, (3) terms ranging from 0 days to 183 days, (4) expected volatility of 996% and (5) risk free interest rates ranging from 0.01% to 0.03%.

NOTE 12 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To date the Company has funded its operations through a combination of loans and sales of common stock. The Company anticipates another net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming year, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.
The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of additional equity and by generating revenues through sales of products and services.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
