TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM
1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Our Company
Cereplast, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Cereplast”,
the “Company, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a public shell company seeking to create value
for its shareholders by merging with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares
of our common stock.
No potential merger candidate has been
identified at this time.
We do not propose to restrict our search
for a business opportunity to any particular industry or geographical area and may, therefore, engage in essentially any business
in any industry. We have unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability
of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity
in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, we have only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate
good opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will
ultimately prove to be beneficial to us and our shareholders. We will select any potential business opportunity based on our management’s
best business judgment.
Our activities are subject to several significant
risks, which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have no specific business, and may acquire or participate in a business
opportunity based on the decision of management, which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders.
The risks faced by us are further increased as a result of its lack of resources and our inability to provide a prospective business
opportunity with significant capital.
Our History
Organization and Corporate History
The Company was incorporated in the state
of Nevada on September 14, 2001 under the name Biocorp North America, Inc. On July 19, 2004 the Company changed its name to Nat-UR,
Inc. and on March 18, 2005 it changed its name again to Cereplast, Inc.
We had developed and were commercializing
proprietary bio-based resins through two complementary product families: Cereplast Compostables resins which are compostable, renewable,
ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastics, and Cereplast Sustainables resins (including the Cereplast Hybrid
Resins product line), which replaces up to 90% of the petroleum-based content of traditional plastics with materials from renewable
resources. Our resins could be converted into finished products using conventional manufacturing equipment without significant
additional capital investment by downstream converters. In the summer of 2014, the Company ceased all operations and since that
time has been inactive
We filed our last audited financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 on April 16, 2013.
We filed our last unaudited periodic report
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 on November 14, 2013.We ceased all business activities in August 2014.
On March 22, 2019, the eight judicial District
Court of Nevada appointed Custodian Ventures, LLC as custodian for Cereplast, Inc., proper notice having been given to the officers
and directors of Cereplast, Inc. There was no opposition.
On June 04, 2019, the Company filed a certificate
of revival with the state of Nevada, appointing David Lazar as, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
A change of control of the Company was
completed on November 3, 2020, control was obtained by the sale of 50,000,000 common shares and $5,000,000 Series A-1 Preferred
Shares from Custodian Ventures, LLC to Xudong Li. After November 3, 2020, the Company’s operations are determined and structured
by the new major shareholder.
Revenue
We have no revenues for the years ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019. We do not anticipate recognizing any revenues in our first quarter ending March 31, 2021.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This Form 10 contains forward-looking
statements that may be affected by matters outside our control that could cause materially different results.
Some of the information in this Form
10 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. These statements express,
or are based on, our expectations about future events. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of
future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as, “may”,
“will”, “expect”, “intend”, “project”, “estimate”, “anticipate”,
“believe” or “continue” or the negative thereof or similar terminology. They include statements regarding
our:
|
/_/
|
cash flow and anticipated liquidity,
|
|
|
|
|
/_/
|
future operations of unknown nature costs,
|
|
|
|
|
/_/
|
acquisition and development of other technology,
|
|
|
|
|
/_/
|
future demand for any products and services acquired,
|
|
|
|
|
/_/
|
operating costs and other expenses.
|
Although we believe the expectations
and forecasts reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove
to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results are described under “Risk Factors” and include:
|
/_/
|
our cost of operations,
|
|
|
|
|
/_/
|
our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to operate,

our ability to find and retain skilled personnel, and
|
|
|
|
|
/_/
|
the lack of liquidity of our common stock.
|
Any of the factors listed above and
other factors contained in this Form 10 could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results implied by these or
any other forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. We cannot assure you that our future results will meet our expectations.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made.
General Business Plan
Our business plan to seek a merger has
many uncertainties which pose risks to investors.
We intend to seek, investigate and, if
such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms which desire to
seek the advantages of an issuer who has complied with the Securities Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). We will not restrict
our search to any specific business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in business ventures of virtually
any nature. This discussion of our proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our unlimited
discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. We anticipate that we may be able to participate in only
one potential business venture because of our lack of financial resources. We may seek a business opportunity with entities which
have recently commenced operations, or that desire to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order
to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. All of these activities
have risk to investors including dilution and management.
We expect that the selection of a business
opportunity will be complex. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and
shortages of available capital, we believe that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with
the 1934 Act. Such benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought,
providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions
of applicable statutes) for all stockholders and other factors. Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in many
different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis
of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We have, and will continue to have, essentially no assets to provide
the owners of business opportunities. However, we will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire
a controlling ownership interest in an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act without incurring the cost and time required to
conduct an initial public offering.
The analysis of new business opportunities
will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, our Board of Directors. We intend to concentrate on identifying preliminary
prospective business opportunities which may be brought to our attention through present associations of our director, professional
advisors or by our stockholders. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, we will consider such matters as (i) available
technical, financial and managerial resources; (ii) working capital and other financial requirements; (iii) history of operations,
if any, and prospects for the future; (iv) nature of present and expected competition; (v) quality, experience and depth of management
services; (vi) potential for further research, development or exploration; (vii) specific risk factors not now foreseeable but
that may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the company; (viii) potential for growth or expansion; (ix) potential
for profit; (x) public recognition and acceptance of products, services or trades; (xi) name identification; and (xii) other factors
that we consider relevant. As part of our investigation of the business opportunity, we expect to meet personally with management
and key personnel. To the extent possible, we intend to utilize written reports and personal investigation to evaluate the above
factors.
We will not acquire or merge with any company
for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
Acquisition Interest
In implementing a structure for a particular
business acquisition, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with
another company or entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. Upon consummation of a transaction, it
is probable that our present management and stockholders will no longer be in control of us. In addition, our directors may, as
part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of our stockholders, or
sell his stock in us. Any such sale will only be made in compliance with the securities laws of the United States and any applicable
state.
It is anticipated that any securities issued
in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under application federal and state securities
laws. In some circumstances, as a negotiated element of the transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities
immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken
by the surviving entity after it has successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and is no longer considered an inactive company.
The issuance of substantial additional
securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may have a depressive effect on
the value of our securities in the future. There is no assurance that such a trading market will develop.
While the actual terms of a transaction
cannot be predicted, it is expected that the parties to any business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of
a taxable event and thereby structure the business transaction in a so-called “tax-free” reorganization under Sections
368(a)(1) or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under the Code, it
may be necessary for the owner of the acquired business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such
event, our stockholders would retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This would result
in significant dilution in the equity of our stockholders.
As part of our investigation, we expect
to meet personally with management and key personnel, visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis of verification
of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures,
to the extent of our limited financial resources and management expertise. The manner in which we participate in an opportunity
will depend on the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of both parties, and the management of the opportunity.
With respect to any merger or acquisition,
and depending upon, among other things, the target company’s assets and liabilities, our stockholders will in all likelihood
hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in us following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may
be subject to significant reduction in the event we acquire a target company with assets and expectations of growth. Any merger
or acquisition can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our stockholders.
We will participate in a business opportunity
only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written business agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot
be predicted, generally we anticipate that such agreements will (i) require specific representations and warranties by all of the
parties; (ii) specify certain events of default; (iii) detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by
each of the parties prior to and after such closing; (iv) outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with
the Company’s attorneys and accountants; (v) set forth remedies on defaults; and (vi) include miscellaneous other terms.
As stated above, we will not acquire or
merge with any entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements within a reasonable period of time after closing
of the proposed transaction. If such audited financial statements are not available at closing, or within time parameters necessary
to insure our compliance within the requirements of the 1934 Act, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform
to the representations made by that business to be acquired, the definitive closing documents will provide that the proposed transaction
will be voidable, at the discretion of our present management. If such transaction is voided, the definitive closing documents
will also contain a provision providing for reimbursement for our costs associated with the proposed transaction.
Competition
We believe we are an insignificant participant
among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial
concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our
limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage
compared to our competitors.
Investment Company Act 1940
Although we will be subject to regulation
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, we believe we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities.
In the event we engage in business combinations that result in us holding passive investment interests in a number of entities,
we could be subject to regulation under the 1940 Act. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment company
and incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status
under the 1940 Act and, consequently, any violation of the 1940 Act would subject us to material adverse consequences. We believe
that, currently, we are exempt under Regulation 3a-2 of the 1940 Act.
Intellectual Property
We own no intellectual property.
Employees
We presently have no full time executive,
operational, or clerical staff.
Ms. Xudong has been a director and officer
of the Company since 2020 and its principal shareholder.
Factors Effecting Future Performance
Rather than an operating business, our
goal is to obtain debt and/or equity financing to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity
with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders.
Although there is no assurance that this
series of events will be successfully completed, we believe we can successfully complete an acquisition or merger which will enable
us to continue as a going concern. Any acquisition or merger will most likely be dilutive to our existing stockholders.
The factors affecting our future performance
are listed and explained below under the section “Risk Factors” below:
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act
The disclosure contained below, discusses
generally the terms of the “Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act”. Currently the Company is without operations or revenues
and as such does not anticipate that it will affect certain of the transactions covered by such Act until, if at all, the time
a change in control of the Company is affected. Until at such time the Company effects a change in control it does not anticipate
that it will benefit from the exemptions from certain financial disclosure required in a registration statement as well as the
simplification of the sale of securities and the relaxation of general solicitation for Rule 506 offerings.
In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) was enacted into law. The JOBS Act provides, among other things:
Exemptions for emerging growth companies
from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years and provides a new form of financing to small
companies,
Amendments to certain provisions of the
federal securities laws to simplify the sale of securities and increase the threshold number of record holders required to trigger
the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
Relaxation of the general solicitation
and general advertising prohibition for Rule 506 offerings,
Adoption of a new exemption for public
offerings of securities in amounts not exceeding $50 million; and
Exemption from registration by a non-reporting
company offers and sales of securities of up to $1,000,000 that comply with rules to be adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section
4(6) of the Securities Act and such sales are exempt from state law registration, documentation or offering requirements.
In general, under the JOBS Act a company
is an emerging growth company if its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common equity securities was affected after
December 8, 2011 and the company had less than $1 billion of total annual gross revenues during its last completed fiscal year.
A company will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company after the earliest of
|
(i)
|
the completion of the fiscal year in which the company
has total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more,
|
|
(ii)
|
the completion of the fiscal year of the fifth anniversary
of the company’s IPO,
|
|
(iii)
|
the company’s issuance of more than $1 billion in
nonconvertible debt in the prior three-year period, or
|
|
(iv)
|
the company becoming a “larger accelerated filer”
as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
|
The Company meets the definition of an
emerging growth company and will be affected by some of the changes provided in the JOBS Act and certain of the new exemptions.
The JOBS Act provides additional new guidelines and exemptions for non-reporting companies and for non-public offerings. Those
exemptions that impact the Company are discussed below.
Financial Disclosure. The financial disclosure
in a registration statement filed by an emerging growth company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 will differ from registration
statements filed by other companies as follows:
|
(i)
|
audited financial statements required for only two fiscal
years,
|
|
(ii)
|
selected financial data required for only the fiscal years
that were audited,
|
|
(iii)
|
executive compensation only needs to be presented in the
limited format now required for smaller reporting companies. (A smaller reporting company is one with a public float of less than
$75 million as of the last day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter)
|
However, the requirements for financial
disclosure provided by Regulation S-K promulgated by the Rules and Regulations of the SEC already provide certain of these exemptions
for smaller reporting companies. The Company is a smaller reporting company. Currently a smaller reporting company is not required
to file as part of its registration statement selected financial data and only needs audited financial statements for its two most
current fiscal years and no tabular disclosure of contractual obligations.
The JOBS Act also exempts the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm from complying with any rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (“PCAOB”) after the date of the JOBS Act’s enactment, except as otherwise required by SEC rule.
The JOBS Act also exempts an emerging growth
company from any requirement adopted by the PCAOB for mandatory rotation of the Company’s accounting firm or for a supplemental
auditor report about the audit.
Internal Control Attestation. The JOBS
Act also provides an exemption from the requirement of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to file
a report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, although management of the Company is still required
to file its report on the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Section 102(a) of the JOBS Act goes on
to exempt emerging growth companies from the requirements in 1934 Act Section 14A(e) for companies with a class of securities registered
under the 1934 Act to hold shareholder votes for executive compensation and golden parachutes.
Other Items of the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act
also provides that an emerging growth company can communicate with potential investors that are qualified institutional buyers
or institutions that are accredited to determine interest in a contemplated offering either prior to or after the date of filing
the respective registration statement. The Act also permits research reports by a broker or dealer about an emerging growth company
regardless if such report provides sufficient information for an investment decision. In addition, the JOBS Act precludes the SEC
and FINRA from adopting certain restrictive rules or regulations regarding brokers, dealers and potential investors, communications
with management and distribution of a research reports on the emerging growth company IPO.
Section 106 of the JOBS Act permits emerging
growth companies to submit 1933 Act registration statements on a confidential basis provided that the registration statement and
all amendments are publicly filed at least 21 days before the issuer conducts any road show. This is intended to allow the emerging
growth company to explore the IPO option without disclosing to the market the fact that it is seeking to go public or disclosing
the information contained in its registration statement until the company is ready to conduct a roadshow.
Election to Opt Out of Transition Period.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a 1933 Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the 1934 Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standard.
The JOBS Act provides a company can elect
to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non- emerging growth companies but
any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of the transition period.
ITEM 1A:
RISK FACTORS
We need to find financing for our business
idea which is uncertain and risky.
Our plan of operation is to obtain debt
or equity finance to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced management and
opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance
that any of the events can be successfully completed, that any such business will be identified or that any stockholder will realize
any return on their shares after such a transaction has been completed. In particular, there is no assurance that any such business
will be located or that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after such a transaction. Any merger or acquisition
completed by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our current stockholders.
We believe we are an insignificant participant
among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial
concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our
limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage
compared to our competitors.
You should be aware that there are various
risks associated with our business, including the risks discussed below. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well
as the other information contained in this Registration Statement, in evaluating our business and us. Rather than our previous
operating business, our business is now to seek to raise the debt and/or equity to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt
to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock
to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that this series of events will be successfully completed or that
any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after the new business plan has been implemented.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
WE HAVE INCURRED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES
AND ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES
As of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated
deficit of $97,272,577 and a stockholders’ deficit of $6,900.
Future losses are likely to occur as, until
we are able to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common
stock to create value for our shareholders as we have no sources of income to meet our operating expenses. As a result of these,
among other factors, we received from our registered independent public accountants in their report for the financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern.
OUR EXISTING FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE
INSUFFICIENT TO MEET OUR ONGOING OPERATING EXPENSES
We have no sources of income at this time
and no existing cash balances to meet our ongoing operating expenses. In the short term, unless we are able to raise additional
debt and/or equity we shall be unable to meet our ongoing operating expenses. On a longer-term basis, we intend to raise the debt
and/or equity to meet our ongoing operating expenses and merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities
for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that this series
of events will be successfully completed.
WE INTEND TO PURSUE THE ACQUISITION
OF AN OPERATING BUSINESS
Our sole strategy is to acquire an operating
business. Successful implementation of this strategy depends on our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate, acquire
such company on acceptable terms and integrate its operations. In pursuing acquisition opportunities, we compete with other companies
with similar strategies. Competition for acquisition targets may result in increased prices of acquisition targets and a diminished
pool of companies available for acquisition. Acquisitions involve a number of other risks, including risks of acquiring undisclosed
or undesired liabilities, acquired in-process technology, stock compensation expense, diversion of management attention, potential
disputes with the seller of one or more acquired entities and possible failure to retain key acquired personnel. Any acquired entity
or assets may not perform relative to our expectations. Our ability to meet these challenges has not been established.
SCARCITY OF, AND COMPETITION FOR, BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS
We believe we are an insignificant participant
among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial
concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. Nearly all such
entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us and, consequently,
we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business
combination. Moreover, we will also compete in seeking merger or acquisition candidates with numerous other small public companies.
In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive
disadvantage compared to our competitors.
WE HAVE NOT EXECUTED ANY FORMAL AGREEMENT
FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION AND HAVE ESTABLISHED NO STANDARDS FOR BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
We have not executed any formal arrangement,
agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of a private or public
entity. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in
concluding a business combination. We have not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation.
There is no assurance we will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms favorable, if at all. We have not established
a specific length of operating history or specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will require
a target business opportunity to have achieved, and without which we would not consider a business combination. Accordingly, we
may enter into a business combination with a business opportunity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no
potential for earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics.
WE MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY ADVERSE
GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Current conditions in domestic and global
economies are extremely uncertain. Adverse changes may occur as a result of softening global economies, wavering consumer confidence
caused by the threat of terrorism and war, and other factors capable of affecting economic conditions. Such changes could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
BECAUSE OUR PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER CONTROLS
OUR ACTIVITIES, SHE MAY CAUSE US TO ACT IN A MANNER THAT IS MOST BENEFICIAL TO HERSELF AND NOT TO OTHER SHAREHOLDERS WHICH COULD
CAUSE US NOT TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT OUTSIDE INVESTORS MIGHT VIEW FAVORABLY
Our principal shareholder owns approximately
67% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, she effectively controls all matters requiring stockholder approval, including
the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers and related party transaction. This
insider also has the ability to delay or perhaps even block, by her ownership of our stock, an unsolicited tender offer. This concentration
of ownership could have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control of our company that you might view
favorably.
OUR DIRECTORS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST WHICH MAY NOT BE RESOLVED FAVORABLY TO US.
Certain conflicts of interest may exist
between our directors and us. Our Directors have other business interests to which they devote their attention and may be expected
to continue to do so although management time should be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that
can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to us. See “Directors and Executive
Officers” (page 15 below), and “Conflicts of Interest.” (page 16 below).
WE MAY DEPEND UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS,
WHO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON REASONABLE TERMS AND AS NEEDED.
To supplement the business experience of
our officers and directors, we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants
or advisors. Our Board without any input from stockholders will make the selection of any such advisors. Furthermore, it is anticipated
that such persons may be engaged on an “as needed” basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us.
In the event we consider it necessary to hire outside advisors, we may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they are able
to provide the required services.
THE COMPANYS ELECTION NOT TO OPT OUT
OF JOBS ACT EXTENDED ACCOUNTIMG TRANSITION PERIOD MAY NOT MAKE ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EASILY COMPARABLE TO OTHER COMPANIES.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012, as an
emerging growth company the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards
that may be issued by the PCAOB or the SEC. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means
that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company,
as an emerging growth company, can adopt the standard for the private company. This may make comparison of the Company’s
financial statements with any other public company which is not either an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company
which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards
may be used.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP
FOLLOWING BUSINESS COMBINATION AND DILUTION TO STOCKHOLDERS
Our primary plan of operation is based
upon a business combination with a private concern which, in all likelihood, would result in us issuing securities to stockholders
of such private company. The issuance of previously authorized and unissued shares of our common stock would result in reduction
in percentage of shares owned by present and prospective stockholders and may result in a change in control or management. In addition,
any merger or acquisition can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of the shares held our stockholders.
THE REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS BY SEC
AND NASD MAY HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE TRADABILITY OF OUR SECURITIES.
Our securities are currently listed on
the OTC Markets Pink Sheets. Our shares are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice
requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors.
For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess
of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that,
when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000).
For transactions covered by the rule, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement
to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and
also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop, therefore.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange
Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2,
15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities
constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules
may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them.
Shareholders should be aware that, according
to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.
Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter
or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
(iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced
sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale
dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor
losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect
to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive
within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
The shares of our common stock may be thinly traded on the Pink
Sheets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our shares of common stock at or near ask prices at any given
time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we
are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment
community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse
and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares
of common stock until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or
more when trading activity in our shares of common stock is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has
a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities
price.We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our shares of Common Stock will
develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance
that they will be able to sell their shares of common stock at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire
to liquidate your shares of common stock of our Company.
THE COMPANY IS A SHELL COMPANY AND AS
SUCH SHAREHOLDERS CANNOT RELY ON THE PROVISIONS OF RULE 144 FOR RESALE OF THEIR SHARES UNTIL CERTYAIN CONDITIONS ARE MET.
The Company is a shell company as defined
under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 as a registrant that has no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets,
or assets consisting only of cash or cash equivalents and/or other nominal assets. As securities issued by a shell company, the
securities issued by the Company can only be resold by filing a registration statement for those shares or utilizing the provisions
of Rule 144 once certain conditions are met, to wit: (i) the Company has ceased to be a shell company (ii) the Company is subject
to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (iii) the Company has filed all required
reports under the Exchange Act of the preceding 12 months and (iv) one year has elapsed since the Company filed “Form 10”
information.
Thus, a shareholder of the Company will
not be able to sell its shares until such time as a registration statement for those shares is filed or the Company has ceased
to be a shell company either by effecting a business combination or by developmental growth, the Company has remained current on
its Exchange Act filings for 12 months and the Company has filed the information as would be required by a “Form 10”
filing (e.g. audited financial statements, management information and compensation, shareholder information, etc.)
THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD
BE HIGHLY VOLATILE
Our intention is for our shares of common
stock to continue to be listed on the OTC Markets. There is a limited market for our stock. It may be subject to volatility, low
volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices quoted by market makers. Due to the low volume of shares traded on any
trading day, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our common stock. This low
volume of trades could also cause the price of our stock to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring
in any trading day session. Holders of our common stock may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced
to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. If high spreads between the bid and ask prices of our common stock exist
at the time of a purchase, the stock would have to appreciate substantially on a relative percentage basis for an investor to recoup
their investment. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market
price of our common stock. No assurance can be given that an active market in our common stock will develop or be sustained. If
an active market does not develop, holders of our common stock may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be
able to sell their shares at all.
LOSS OF CONTROL BY OUR PRESENT MANAGEMENT
AND STOCKHOLDERS MAY OCCUR UPON ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES.
We may issue further Shares as consideration
for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized but unissued Common Stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority
of our voting power and equity. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control us,
and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage
of ownership of us by our current Shareholders.
WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING CASH DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON
STOCK
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends
on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
WE MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN FINDING A
MERGER THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH POSITIVE LONG-TERM RESULTS
The business of selecting and entering
into a merger is fraught with all kinds of issues. For instance, the business may need capital that is never achieved, the management
is not capable of carrying the business forward successfully, the business plan is ill conceived, and not executed, or competitive
factors cause business failure. There are many other factors in addition to these, as may have been discussed above in “Risk
Factors” which could cause our company to fail and the investor’s capital will be at risk.

Overview
The Company was incorporated in the state
of Nevada on September 14, 2001 under the name Biocorp North America, Inc. On July 19, 2004 the Company changed its name to Nat-UR,
Inc. and on March 18, 2005 it changed its name again to Cereplast, Inc.
We had developed and were commercializing
proprietary bio-based resins through two complementary product families: Cereplast Compostables resins which are compostable, renewable,
ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastics, and Cereplast Sustainables resins (including the Cereplast Hybrid
Resins product line), which replaces up to 90% of the petroleum-based content of traditional plastics with materials from renewable
resources. Our resins could be converted into finished products using conventional manufacturing equipment without significant
additional capital investment by downstream converters. In the summer of 2014, the Company ceased all operations and since that
time has been inactive.
On March 22, 2019, the eight judicial District
Court of Nevada appointed Custodian Ventures, LLC as custodian for Cereplast, Inc., proper notice having been given to the officers
and directors of Cereplast, Inc. There was no opposition.
On June 04, 2019, the Company filed a certificate
of revival with the state of Nevada, appointing David Lazar as, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
A change of control of the Company was
completed on November 3, 2020, control was obtained by the sale of 50,000,000 common shares and $5,000,000 Series A-1 Preferred
Shares from Custodian Ventures, LLC to Xudong Li. After November 3, 2020, the Company’s operations are determined and structured
by the new major shareholder.
We have not yet generated sustained profits
from our prior operations. Our independent accountants have expressed a “going concern” opinion. As of December 31,
2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $97,272,577 and a net working capital deficit of $6,900.
While our current burn rate is nominal,
it is expected that our costs of operations will continue to exceed revenues, primarily due to the costs associated with being
a public reporting company. Based upon our current business plan, we may continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future and
there can be no assurances that we will ever establish profitable operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments
and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.
An accounting policy is considered to be
critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time
the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that
are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical
accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014 the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition
requirements, including most industry specific guidance. This new standard requires a company to recognize revenues when it transfers
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods
or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition
date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections
and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted these amendments with ASU 2014-09 (collectively,
the new revenue standards).
Under the new revenue standards, the Company
recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration
which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed
under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii)
determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize
revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.
The new revenue standards became effective
for the Company on January 1, 2018 and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards
as of January 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as there were no revenues during the period
Accounts receivable
The Company reviews accounts receivable
periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for losses arising from customers’ inability to make required
payments. If there is deterioration of our customers’ credit worthiness and/or there is an increase in the length of time
that the receivables are past due greater than the historical assumptions used, additional allowances may be required. The Company
has no accounts receivables and therefore as of December 31, 2020, and 2019 no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability
method of accounting for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on
temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their corresponding tax basis. In addition, the
future benefits of income tax assets including unused tax losses, are recognized, subject to a valuation allowance to the extent
that it is more likely than not that such future benefits will ultimately be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the tax liabilities or assets are to be either settled or
realized. The Company’s effective tax rate approximates the Federal statutory rates.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended
December 31, 2020 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2019
In the summer of 2014, the Company decided
to discontinue all operations. After the change of control on November 3, 2020, the Company’s operations are determined and
structured by the new major shareholder.
During the years ended December 31, 2020
and 2019, we generated no revenues. The lack of revenue in both 2020 and 2019 was attributed to the Company ceased activity in
August 2014.
Operating expenses, including general and
administrative expenses, during the year ended December 31, 2020, was $18,909 compared to $24,393 during year ended December 31,
2019.
The decrease of $5,484 in operating expenses
during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with the same period during 2019 was attributed to the decrease in administrative
expenses of $8,087, partly offset by an increase in professional fees of $2,603..
During the year ended December 31, 2020,
the Company incurred a net loss of $17,642, compared to a net loss of $24,177 during the year ended December 31, 2019. The $6,535
decrease in net loss was primarily due to the decrease in operating expenses, partly offset by an increase in interest income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, we had
a cash balance of $0. Due to the lack of revenue, the company’s operations are primarily funded by the Company’s CEO
and major shareholder.
To the extent that the Company’s
capital resources are insufficient to meet current or planned operating requirements, the Company will seek additional funds through
equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources,
which may have the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect
to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any portion
of the Company’s future financing requirements. Ms. Xudong, the CEO and principal shareholder of the Company, would favorably
entertain funding, through loans, corporate expenses for approximately 24 months. Any loans by Ms. Xudong would be on an interest-free
basis, documented by a promissory note and payable only upon consummation of a business combination transaction. Upon consummation
of a business combination, we or the target may reimburse Ms. Xudong for any such loans from funds furnished by the target. We
have no written agreement with Ms. Xudong to advance any further funds for future operating expense, therefore there is no assurance
that such funds from Ms. Xudong will be forth coming, if required.
No assurance can be given that additional
financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate
funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain of its programs that it would
otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. This would have a material adverse effect on the Company. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was
$0 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Investing Activities
We neither generated nor used cash in investing
activities during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Financing Activities
We neither generated nor used cash in financing
activities during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we
have incurred net losses of $17,642 and $24,177 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and have a working
capital deficit of $6,900 as of December 31, 2020, in addition to a stockholder deficit of $6,900, which raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes the Company will continue
to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional equity or
debt financing to sustain its operations until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. Management plans
to seek additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company but cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable
terms.
The Company’s continuation as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations,
and obtain additional financing as may be required. Our auditors have included a “going concern” qualification in their
Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants accompanying our audited financial statements appearing elsewhere herein which
cites substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such a “going concern” qualification may
make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.
The accompanying financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will
be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually improve
our operating results.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance
sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would
be considered material to investors
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had
in the past or will have in the future any significant negative impact on our operations.
ITEM 3:
PROPERTIES
The Company has no properties and at this
time has no agreements to acquire any properties. The Company currently uses an office provided by Ms. Xudong, the Company’s
President and CEO, at no cost to the Company. Ms. Xudong has agreed to continue this arrangement until the Company completes an
acquisition or merger. We presently do not own any equipment, and do not intend to purchase or lease any equipment prior to or
upon completion of a business combination.

and acquisitions and restructuring. Over the past five years he has served as a consultant for many private and listed companies,
and Sino-foreign joint ventures. Mr. Zhang attended the France Brest Business School where he received an MBA.
Audit Committee
Cereplast does not presently have an Audit
Committee and the entire Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. Cereplast intends
to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint an Audit Committee.
In lieu of an Audit Committee the Board
is empowered to make such examinations as are necessary to monitor the corporate financial reporting and the external audits of
Cereplast, to provide to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) the results of its examinations and recommendations derived
there from, to outline to the Board improvements made, or to be made, in internal control, to nominate independent auditors, and
to provide to the Board such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant
financial matters that require Board attention.
Compensation Committee
Cereplast does not presently have a Nominating
Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. Cereplast intends
to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint a Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee will be authorized
to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding all forms of compensation to be provided to the executive officers and
directors of Cereplast, including stock compensation, and bonus compensation to all employees.
Nominating Committee
Cereplast does not have a Nominating Committee
and the Board acts in such capacity.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
To date, we have not adopted a Code of
Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer because the Company has no meaningful operations.
The Company does not believe that a formal written code of ethics is necessary at this time. We expect that the Company will adopt
a code of ethics if and when the Company successfully completes a business combination that results in the acquisition of an on-going
business and thereby commences operations.
Indemnification of Executive Officers
and Directors
Our articles provide to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada Law, wherein our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or our stockholders for
damages for breach of such directors or officers fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our articles is to eliminate our
rights and the rights of our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover damages
against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from
negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification
provisions in our articles are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Nevada corporate law provides that
a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of that fact that he was
a director, officer employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL
Our directors and officers are, or may
become, in their individual capacities, an officer, director, controlling shareholder and/or partner of other entities engaged
in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of interest including, among other things, time, efforts, and
corporation opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities. While our officers and directors of our business
are engaged in business activities outside of our business, they devote to our business such time as they believe to be necessary.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
Presently no requirement contained in our
Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business
opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to
disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise.
Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director
of another company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring an affiliate, associate person or business opportunity from
any affiliate or any client of any such person.
ITEM 6:
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
During the two years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019, no salaries were paid to any officers or directors.

Last Reported Price
On February 25, 2021, the last reported
bid price of our shares of common stock reported on the Pink Sheets was $0.067 per share.
Record Holders
There were 206 holders of record as of
December 31, 2020; however, we believe the number of beneficial holders of our shares of common stock to be approximately 290.
In many instances, a registered stockholder is a broker or other entity holding shares in street name for one or more customers
who beneficially own the shares.
Transfer Agent
Our transfer agent is Island Stock Transfer,
Inc., 15500 Roosevelt Blvd., Suite 302, Clearwater, Florida 33760. Their telephone number is (727) 289-0069.
Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends and have
no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Our future dividend policy will be determined by our board of directors and will depend
upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and performance, our cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences,
and the restrictions that applicable laws, any future preferred stock instruments, and any future credit arrangements may then
impose.
Rules Governing Low-Price Stocks That
May Affect Our Stockholders’ Ability to Resell Shares of Our Common Stock
Penny Stock Regulation Broker-dealer practices
in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Excluded from the penny
stock designation are securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current
price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange/system or sold to established
customers or accredited investors.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document
that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer
with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in connection
with the transaction, and the monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s
account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, 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 agreement to the transaction.
These disclosure requirements may have
the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock
rules. As our securities have become subject to the penny stock rules, investors may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
Options and Warrants
None of the shares of our Common Stock
are subject to outstanding options or warrants.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under
Equity Compensation Plans
The Company does not have any equity compensation
plans or any individual compensation arrangements with respect to its Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The issuance of any of our
Common Stock or Preferred Stock is within the discretion of our Board of Directors, which has the power to issue any or all of
our authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval.

ITEM 11:
DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
Description of Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 2,000,000,000

our board of directors and, upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in the assets
of the Company that are available for distribution to the holders of the Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled
to one vote per share for all purposes, except that in the election of directors, each holder shall have the right to vote such
number of shares for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. Cumulative voting shall not be allowed in the election
of directors or for any other purpose, and the holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights, redemption rights or rights of
conversion with respect to the Common Stock. Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our Common Stock
within the limits authorized by our Articles of Incorporation and without stockholder action. All shares of Common Stock have equal
voting rights, and voting rights are not cumulative.
A total of 74,641,276 shares of common

|
1.
|
Dividends: The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends upon payment
of any dividend on the Common Stock, as if declared by the Board, as if the Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock.
|
|
|

|
ITEM 12:
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our articles provide to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada Law that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or our stockholders for damages
for breach of such directors or officers fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our articles is to eliminate our rights
and the rights of our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover damages against
a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent
or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions
in our articles are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Nevada corporate law provides that a corporation
may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of that fact that he was a director, officer
employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2020 AND 2019
Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors
of Cereplast, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Cereplast, Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity
(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based
on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures
to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues
to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CEREPLAST, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020
Note 1 – Organization and basis of accounting
Basis of Presentation and Organization
This summary of significant accounting
policies of CEREPLAST, INC. (a development stage company) (“the Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the
Company’s financial statements. 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 accompanying financial statements. The Company has realized
minimal revenues from its planned principal business purpose and, accordingly, is considered to be in its development stage in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic No. 915 (SFAS No. 7). The Company has elected a fiscal year end of December 31.
Business Description
We were incorporated on September 29,
2001 in the State of Nevada under the name of Biocorp North America Inc. On March 18, 2005, we filed an amendment to our certificate
of incorporation to change our name to Cereplast, Inc. We have developed and are commercializing proprietary bio-based resins through
two complementary product families: Cereplast Compostables ® resins which are compostable, renewable,
ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastics, and Cereplast Sustainables™ resins (including the Cereplast
Hybrid Resins product line), which replaces up to 90% of the petroleum-based content of traditional plastics with materials from
renewable resources.
The Company ceased operations in early
2014. The Company has fully impaired all assets since the shutdown of its operations in 2014 and has recorded the effects of this
impairment as part of its discontinued operations.
On January 31, 2014 the Board of Directors of Cereplast, Inc.
(the “Company”) approved a 1-for-50 reverse split (the “Reverse Split) which was previously approved by the shareholders
on April 5, 2013 and previously disclosed on Current Report Form 8-K filed on April 5, 2013.
On February 3, 2014, Cereplast, Inc. (the “Company”)
filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to effect the reverse split (the “Reverse Split”),
effective as of February 21, 2014.
On March 22, 2019, the eight judicial District
Court of Nevada appointed Custodian Ventures, LLC as custodian for Cereplast, Inc., proper notice having been given to the officers
and directors of Cereplast, Inc. There was no opposition.
On June 04, 2019, the Company filed a certificate
of revival with the state of Nevada, appointing David Lazar as, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
On October 4, 2019, the Company issued
50,000,000 shares of common stock to Custodian Ventures, LLC at par for shares valued at $50,000 in exchange for settlement of
a portion of a related party loan for amounts advanced to the Company in the amount of $20,100, and a note receivable due to the
Company in the amount of $29,900. The note bears an interest of 3% and matures in 180 days following written demand by the holder.
On April 14, 2020, Custodian Ventures elected
to convert the total amount of the 510 shares of Series A preferred stock into 510 shares of common stock.
On April 15, 2020, the Board of directors
of the Company approved the withdrawal of the certificate of designation of 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock filed
with the Nevada Secretary of State on August 24, 2012, as amended by the Amendment to Certificate of Designation after issuance
of Class or Series filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 13, 2020.
On May 1, 2020, the Company created 5,000,000
shares of series A-1 preferred stock with par value $0.001. On May 4, 2020, the Company issued 5,000,00 shares of the Series A-1
Preferred stock valued at $5,000 to Custodian Ventures LLC as repayment funds loaned to the Company.
A change of control of the Company
was completed on November 3, 2020, control was obtained by the sale of 50,000,000 common shares and $5,000,000 Series A-1
Preferred Shares from Custodian Ventures, LLC to Xudong Li. After November 3, 2020, the Company’s operations are determined
and structured by the new major shareholder.
The accompanying financial statements are
prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company
is a development stage enterprise devoting substantial efforts to establishing a new business, financial planning, raising capital,
and research into products which may become part of the Company’s product portfolio. The Company has not realized significant
sales since inception. A development stage company is defined as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing
a new business and, even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source
of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management
of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility
is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating
activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital, or be successful in the
development and commercialization of the products it develops or initiates collaboration agreements thereon. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets
or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.
Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statements
of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Employee Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based
payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under
ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of
awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.
Loss per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed
by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional
common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the three months
ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is based
on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are recorded
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The Company recorded a valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2018 and 2017.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in
income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the
tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that
the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step
is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company
classifies the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as current to the extent that the Company anticipates payment (or receipt)
of cash within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in the provision
for income taxes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting
standards update for leases. The ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also
aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the current accounting guidance as well as the FASB’s
new revenue recognition standard. However, the ASU eliminates the use of bright-line tests in determining lease classification
as required in the current guidance. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative
disclosures to better enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising
from leases. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, for nonpublic entities using a modified retrospective approach. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard.
Note 3- Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source
of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management
of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility
is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating
activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in the
development and commercialization of the products it develops or initiates collaboration agreements thereon. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets
or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.
Note 4 – Related party transaction
On October 04, 2019, the Company issued
50,000,000 shares of common stock to Custodian Ventures, LLC at par for shares valued at $50,000 in exchange for settlement of
a portion of a related party loan for amounts advanced to the Company in the amount of $20,100, and a note receivable due to the
Company in the amount of $29,900. The note bears an interest of 3% and matures in 180 days following written demand by the holder.
At December 31, 2020, the note receivable with a balance of $31,383 was written off because the collectability of the note is unlikely
after the change of control, the written off balance of the note consisted of the principal in the amount of $29,900 and interest
receivable of $1,483.
On May 4, 2020, the Company issued 5,000,00
shares of the Series A-1 Preferred stock valued at $5,000 to Custodian Ventures LLC as repayment of funds loaned to the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2020,
the Company’s current majority shareholder advanced $6,300 to the Company as working capital and the Company’s former majority
shareholder advanced $12,008 to the Company as working capital. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company owed its current
and former majority shareholders of $6,300 and $4,293 respectively. The advances are non-interest bearing and are due on demand.
Note 5 – Common stock

filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to effect the reverse split (the “Reverse Split”),
effective as of February 21, 2014.
On October 4, 2019, the Company issued
50,000,000 shares of common stock to Custodian Ventures, LLC at par for shares valued at $50,000 in exchange for settlement of
a portion of a related party loan for amounts advanced to the Company in the amount of $20,100, and a note receivable due to the
Company in the amount of $29,900. The note bears an interest of 3% and matures in 180 days following written demand by the holder.
At December 31, 2020, the note receivable with a balance of $31,383 was written off because the collectability of the note is unlikely
after the change of control.
On April 14, 2020, Custodian Ventures elected
to convert the total amount of the 510 shares of Series A preferred stock into 510 shares of common stock.
As of December 31, 2020, a total of 74,641,276
shares of common stock with par value $0.001 remain outstanding.
NOTE 6 – PREFERRED STOCK
On October 4, 2019, the Company issued

a portion of a related party loan for amounts advanced to the Company in the amount of $510.
On April 14, 2020, Custodian Ventures elected
to convert the total amount of the 510 shares of Series A preferred stock into 510 shares of common stock.

of the Company approved the withdrawal of the certificate of designation of 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock filed
with the Nevada Secretary of State on August 24, 2012, as amended by the Amendment to Certificate of Designation after issuance
of Class or Series filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 13, 2020.

shares of series A-1 preferred stock with par value $0.001. On May 4, 2020, the Company issued 5,000,00 shares of the Series A-1
Preferred stock valued at $5,000 to Custodian Ventures LLC as repayment funds loaned to the Company.
As of December 31, 2020, a total of 5,000,000
shares of Series A-1 preferred stock with par value $0.001 remain outstanding.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes represent the net tax effects
of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. Temporary
differences result primarily from the recording of tax benefits of net operating loss carry forwards.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company
has an insufficient history to support the likelihood of ultimate realization of the benefit associated with the deferred tax asset.
Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset.
The Company’s effective income tax
rate differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to loss before income taxes for the years
ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 as follows:
