disclosure on page that such financing will be provided through the purchase of stock.
Please also disclose the material terms of any loans to be provided, if known. Please
clarify whether you have a written agreement with your president. If so, please file this as
an exhibit in accordance with Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, page 11
3.Please update the information in this section as of the most recent practicable date. Please
also reconcile inconsistent disclosure regarding ownership. For instance, the disclosure in
the first risk factor on page 6 states management owns 98% of the company's outstanding
shares. The beneficial ownership table reflects 100% ownership. In addition, footnote
two to the beneficial ownership table indicates there are 5 million shares outstanding as of
the date of the registration statement, while the disclosure following the table states there
are 10 million shares outstanding. Please reconcile.
Item 5. Directors and Executive Officers, page 13
4.Please provide at least 5 years of experience for Mr. Arenal, including clear disclosure of
any experience with shell companies. Please disclose each company worked at, the
position held, and the month and year his employment started and ended with each entity.
Additionally, please disclose the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that
led to the conclusion that each named person should serve as a director. Please refer
to Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence, page 13
5.Please include disclosure required by Item 404(a)(5) of Regulation S-K of the amounts
due to related parties, as reflected in the financial statements and footnote 5 to the
financial statements.
Financial Statements as of and for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page F-2
6.In your risk factor on page 5 of the filing, you state that the report of the independent
registered public accounting firm has raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. However, the auditor's report on the financial statements
does not contain a going concern paragraph. Please resolve this inconsistency in the next
amendment to your Form 10.
Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), page F-5
7.Please ensure the balances from the Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) as of
May 31, 2022 and 2021 agree with the amounts on the Condensed Balance Sheets. Also,
please revise your filing to present the Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) for
only the two fiscal years preceeding the date of the most recent audited balance sheet (i.e.
for the years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021); please refer to Rule 8-02 of Regulation S-X.

the preceding fiscal year, a statement of operations and a statement of cash flows for
the comparable period of the preceding fiscal year, and a statement of stockholders' equity
(deficit) for current and comparative year-to-date periods. Please refer to Rule 8-03 of
Regulation S-X.
10.We note your header on page F-13 which refers to the notes to the audited financial
statements with regards to your interim financial statements. Please revise the header to
refer to such financial statements as unaudited.
General
11.We note that your registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective on April 13,
2020. It appears that you did not sell any shares pursuant to that registration statement.
Please clearly disclose, if true. In addition, since that time, you have not filed any
periodic reports relating to your company, and therefore it appears you are delinquent in
your reporting obligations under the Exchange Act of 1934. Please revise your disclosure
throughout the registration statement to address the risks associated with failure to file
these reports, including updating your risk factor on page 6, and the potential risk that you
may not meet your reporting obligations going forward.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
You may contact Peter McPhun at 202-551-3581 or Jennifer Monick at 202-551-3295 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please
contact Stacie Gorman at 202-551-3585 or Pam Howell at 202-551-3357 with any other
questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
