Executive Overview
As a result of LZG International, Inc.'s acquisition of the FatBrain technology
pursuant to the IT Asset Contribution Agreement ("IT Contribution Agreement"),
dated October 23, 2021, we currently hold intellectual property assets,
including patents pending, patents in preparation, proprietary technology,
development plans, and contractual rights ("IT Assets"). (See Form 8-K,
Amendment No. 2, filed on January 5, 2022.)
The FatBrain technology comprises services to configure, test, deploy and
operate FatBrain solutions on client servers, with flexibility to work in the
cloud, on client premise or in hybrid mode. It allows data integration with
client systems to establish logical, trusted, programmatic connectivity and
provides secure access protocols between the FatBrain technology and the client
systems. In addition, the Company provides training and support to the client's
staff starting with a two-week training session for the client's staff along
with product support via phone, web and onsite.
The Company will market these products directly and through distribution with
value-added resellers and strategic partners. Direct marketing efforts include
internet and email campaigns, tele-sales and virtual and in person follow ups.
Distribution efforts include relationships with global and regional systems
integrators, value added resellers, independent software vendors, vertical
software application developers and combinations of the above.
On November 15, 2021, the Company announced the launch of the FatBrain product
Angelina AI Solution for Foreign Exchange ("Angelina FX"), part of our coached
business wellness service ("BWS") to tackle discriminatory pricing in the $6.6
trillion-dollar daily foreign exchange market. Previously, FatBrain LLC had
entered into a licensing agreement for our software with a non-related party,
Tempus, Inc., a District of Columbia corporation owned by Monex S.A.B.
("Angelina Agreement"). After LZG acquired ownership of Angelina FX and the
contractual rights to the licensing agreement, LZG and Tempus are using the
FatBrain AI automation software to grow and improve Tempus' foreign exchange and
global payments solutions based upon the prior licensing agreement. As a result,
LZG earned $43,447 in AI subscription revenue for the Angelina Agreement for the
quarter ended November 30, 2021. Management projects the annual AI subscription
revenue from the Angelina Agreement to be approximately $174,000, plus an
additional revenue share from the Angelina FX transactions.
Our product development moving forward includes new enhancements for
self-service and quick reporting, as well as, simplified integration of Angelina
FX into any affiliated website. Our agreement with Tempus includes integrating
the Foreign Exchange Fair Value Report into 80-plus daily calls per day
work-flow for each member of the Tempus customer account team. The marketing
efforts include tuning messaging and developing new content for Tempus'
thousands of existing and prospective clients, comprising importers, exporters,
SME's and multinationals.
We are hiring additional employees to assist in the development of our new
operations. We have hired a seasoned Wall Street executive, Dr. Wei Ouyang, to
lead the Angelina FX business. Dr. Ouyang has operational, trading and sales
tenures at Bank of America, Barclays and Deutsche Bank. Dr. Ouyang is working
closely with product development and joint LZG and Monex sales and marketing
teams to distribute the Angelina FX product.

To support Dr. Ouyang's development goals, we have hired a pioneering AI
researcher and scientist, Dr. Rajarshi Das. Dr. Das has tenures with IBM
Research, Los Alamos National Labs and Santa Fe Institute. We have also hired
Mr. Soubir Acharya, an experienced technology architect and innovator. Among
other business and technical accomplishments, Mr. Acharya launched and
commercialized a $250 million data protection business.
Since we are in the initial phases of marketing the FatBrain technology, we may
not record significant revenues and may lack funding to cover our operating
costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern. We are currently devoting our efforts to obtain capital from
management, significant stockholders and/or third parties to cover minimal
expenses; however, there is no assurance that additional funding will be
available. Our ability to continue as a going concern during the long term is
dependent upon our ability to produce and market the FatBrain technology.
At this time management is unsure what effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have on
our operations.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
At November 30, 2021, we had cash of $44,842 and total liabilities of $332,636
compared to cash of $4,735 and total liabilities of $294,610 at May 31, 2021.
Despite the increase in cash, we have not established ongoing sources of revenue
sufficient to cover our operating costs at this time. Prior to the acquisition
of the FatBrain technology, we relied upon a stockholder and third parties for
advances and notes payable to cover our operating expenses. After the
acquisition of the FatBrain technology in October 2021, we have relied on a loan
of $25,000 from a third party to help fund operations.
Finalizing long-term, constant revenue generating technology contracts with our
existing and other customers remains our greatest challenge because our on-going
business is dependent on the types of revenues and cash flows generated by such
contracts. Cash flow and cash requirement risks are closely tied to and are
dependent upon our ability to attract significant long-term technology contracts
During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to producing and
marketing our FatBrain technology and filing of Exchange Act reports. We believe
we will be able to meet these costs through funds provided by management,
significant stockholders and third parties until our revenues increase.
Material Changes in Results of Operations
During the six-months ended November 30, 2021, we recorded revenues of $43,447,
but also relied on advances or loans to fund our operations. During the
six-months ended November 30, 2020, we did not record revenues and relied on
advances or loans to fund our operations. We recorded a net loss of $6,127 for
the six-month period ended November 30, 2021 ("2022 six-month period) compared
to a net loss of $16,119 for the six-month period ended November 30, 2020 ("2021
six-month period).
We recorded net income of $7,849 for our second quarter ended November 30, 2021
("2022 second quarter") compared to a net loss of $6,841 for the second quarter
ended November 30, 2021 ("2021 second quarter").
Management expects net income to continue as we increase revenues from the
marketing of the FatBrain technology.
Commitments or Obligations
During the 2022 and 2021 six-month periods, a stockholder paid for
administrative and professional services totaling $3,000 and $3,000,
respectively, resulting in amounts payable to the stockholder of $9,000 and
$6,000 as of November 30, 2021 and May 31, 2021, respectively.
During the 2022 and 2021 six-month periods, we borrowed $25,000 and $5,000 from
a third party for operating expenses. At November 30, 2021 and May 31, 2021, we
owed this third party $94,800 and $69,800, respectively, with accrued interest
of $33,016 and $30,048, respectively. These loans are payable upon demand, are
not collateralized and bear interest at 8% per annum.
On May 31, 2021, a stockholder converted $6,000 of its accounts payable to a
promissory note which bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand,
resulting in a total balance owed of $119,200. Accrued interest on the note
totaled $29,513 and $24,745 at November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively
During the fiscal years ended May 31, 2009 and 2010, our Director and President,
Greg L. Popp, loaned an aggregate of $23,500 to the Company. On April 20, 2010,
these loans were combined into one promissory note which carries interest at 8%
and is not collateralized. The original promissory note had a due date of June
30, 2014; however, Mr. Popp agreed to extend the due date of this note and
interest to June 30, 2022. The total interest due at November 30, 2021 was
$22,157 compared to $21,217 at May 31, 2021.
At November 30, 2021, we owed vendors $1,450.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). A company qualifies as an
emerging growth company if it has total annual gross revenues of less than $1.07
billion during its most recently completed fiscal year and, as of December 8,
2011, had not sold common equity securities under a registration statement.
Under the JOBS Act we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from
certain disclosure requirements
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth
company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section
7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting
standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of
certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to
private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this
extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be
comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting
standards.
