Evaluation
of Controls and Procedures.
In
accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, our management is required to perform an evaluation under the supervision
and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal
financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period.
Based
on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act) as of October 31, 2020, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
General
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control
over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel,
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those
policies and procedures that: pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems,
no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of
internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control
over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore,
it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As
of October 31, 2020, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria
for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework of 2013 issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such
assessments.
45
Based
on that evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that as of October 31, 2020, our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective because of the following material weaknesses:
■ Due
to our small number of employees and resources, we have limited segregation of duties,
as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed.
■ Due
to our small number of employees and resources, we have limited segregation of duties,
as a result of which do not have the ability to implement internal controls over the
granting of access to our IT environment.
■ As
a result of the limited number of accounting personnel, we rely on inexperienced staff
and outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including tax preparation,
which could require adjustments and lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure.
■ The
Company’s Board of Directors at October 31, 2020 were solely comprised of two outside
directors and the remaining directors served also as the executive management of the
Company. The Board does not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee
financial expert nor did it have either one at October 31, 2020. While not being legally
obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert,
it is the management’s view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent
board members, and an independent audit committee financial expert, is an important entity-level
control over the Company’s financial statements.
■ The
Company did not file the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October
31, 2019 or the three quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters January
31, 2019, April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2019 by their required due dates. In addition,
the Company did not file the three quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters
ended January 31, 2020, April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2020 within the appropriate filing
deadlines. The Company has historically been delinquent in its filings with the
SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This delinquency is due to
the Company’s limited financial and personnel resources. These delays limit the
Company’s ability to timely analyze and identify potential operational and disclosure
transactions within management and to comply with financial reporting regulations.
Management’s
Remediation Initiatives
In
an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have expanded
our accounting and administrative support staff during 2019 and 2020. We have also engaged outside tax consultants to assist in
advising the Company in tax matters on an ongoing basis. During July and August 2020, the Company completed a private placement
which generated proceeds of $405,000, which have been and are being used exclusively to fund the costs associated with the Company’s
ongoing public company filing requirements, including audit, tax, valuation and legal fees.
If
and when the Company obtains sufficient capital resources, the Company intends to hire additional personnel with sufficient U.S.
GAAP knowledge and business experience and to segregate appropriate duties among them. The Company has also begun efforts to further
automate its accounting, sales ordering and inventory management functions.
We
also intend to appoint one or more independent members to our Board of Directors who shall also be appointed to a standing audit
committee which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures
such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management. While we are actively seeking outside members, including
candidates with accounting experience, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful. Given the size of our Company,
lack of revenues and current lack of financing to continue with our business, it is unlikely that we will be able to hire any
additional personnel or that independent directors will agree to join our Board until general economic conditions and our own
business prospects improve significantly.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant
to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Controls
No
change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred
during the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

●
any
bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either
at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
●
any conviction in
a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
●

any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently
or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities

Audit
Committee
We
currently do not have a separately standing Audit Committee due to our limited size and our Board performs the functions that
would otherwise be performed by an Audit Committee.
Compensation
Committee
The
Company does not have a Compensation Committee due to our limited size and our Board performs the functions that would otherwise
be performed by a Compensation Committee. Our Board intends to form a Compensation Committee when needed.
Other
Committees
We
do not currently have a separately designated standing nominating committee. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the
consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations.
The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of
our Board, it is not practical for us to have committees other than those described above, or to have more than two directors
on such committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board
and our committees and allocate responsibilities accordingly.
49
Code
of Ethics
Due
to our small size, we have not adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to our officers, directors and employees.
We intend to adopt a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in the near future as we grow our operations and hire additional employees.

officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section
16(a) reports that they file.
Based
solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we
believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied
with under Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 and up through the date of this filing

LLC, a Company controlled by Mr. Carbonara.
On

renewals for annual periods thereafter unless prior written notice is provided by either party of the desire to terminate.
For
the year ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the total amount of sales to customers related to our board of director members and/or
employees of the Company totaled $95,455 and $71,650, respectively.
In
connection with Mr. Robert Zucker’s resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company in April 2020, the Board approved
the issuance to Mr. Zucker of 736,808 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company.
Effective
December 21, 2020, the Company granted a bonus of $50,000 and 15,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company each to Mr. Mitrani,
Dr. Mitrani and Mr. Bothwell and 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company each to Mr. Carbonara and Dr. Allen Meglin.
Director
Independence
We
are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has
requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time
required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Nevertheless, we believe
that both Michael Carbonara and Dr. Allen Meglin qualify as “independent” under the applicable standards of the SEC
and the NASDAQ stock market.

Pre-Approval
Policies and Procedures
We
have not used Marcum for financial information system design and implementation. These services, which include designing or implementing
a system that aggregates source data underlying the financial statements or generates information that is significant to our financial
statements, are provided internally or by other service providers. We did not engage Marcum to provide compliance outsourcing
services.
Our
board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed
and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered. The board of directors has
considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Marcum and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated
to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independence.
