YUENGLING’S ICE CREAM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation, (f/k/a Aureus, Inc.) (“Yuengling’s,” “ARSN,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 19, 2013, under the name “Aureus Incorporated.” We were initially organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the state of Nevada. Effective December 15, 2017, we changed our name to “Hohme, Inc.,” and, effective February 7, 2019, we changed our name to “Aureus, Inc. and on September 14, 2021, the Company changed their name to Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation”. We are currently active in the state of Nevada.
We are a food brand development company that builds and represents popular food concepts throughout the United States and international markets. Management is highly experienced at business integration and re-branding potential. With little territory available for the older brands, we intend to bring to our customers fresh innovative brands that have great potential. All of our brands will be unique in nature as we focus on niche markets that are still in need of development.
We operate two lines of business. Through our subsidiary, YIC Acquisitions Corp. (“YICA”), we acquired the assets of Yuengling’s Ice Cream in June 2019. YICA produces and sells high-quality ice cream without artificial colors, flavoring, or preservatives and no added hormones.
In September 2020, we entered into the micro market segment and launched our second business line, Aureus Micro Markets (“AMM”). Closely tied to the vending machine industry, Micro Markets look and feel like modern convenience stores while functioning with the ease and efficiency of vending foodservice and refreshment services.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending October 31, 2022. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 8 |
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Restricted Cash
The Company has an obligation to transfer $
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022.
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. As of July 31, 2022 and 2021, there are and potentially dilutive shares, respectively, if the Preferred A were to be converted. As of July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary YIC Acquisitions Corp. All material transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company has chosen the early adoption of ASU 2020-06. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. If the standard was not early adopted the Company would have had to recognize a beneficial conversion feature on its convertible note payable.
| 9 |
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY EQUIPMENT
Property and Equipment are first recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows between three and five years.
Long lived assets, including property and equipment, to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Maintenance and repair expenses, as incurred, are charged to expense. Betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts with any gain or loss on the disposition included as income.
Property and equipment stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation consisted of the following:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
Forward-looking Statements
There are “forward-looking statements” contained in this quarterly report. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report to conform forward-looking statements to actual results. Important factors on which such statements are based are assumptions concerning uncertainties, including but not limited to, uncertainties associated with the following:
| · | Inadequate capital and barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement our business plans; |
| · | Our failure to earn revenues or profits; |
| · | Inadequate capital to continue business; |
| · | Volatility or decline of our stock price; |
| · | Potential fluctuation in quarterly results; |
| · | Rapid and significant changes in markets; |
| · | Litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties; and |
| · | Insufficient revenues to cover operating costs. |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto which are included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ substantially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements included in this discussion as a result of various factors.
Overview
Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation, (f/k/a Aureus, Inc.) (“Yuengling’s,” “YCRM,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 19, 2013. Our offices are located at One Glenlake Parkway #650, Atlanta, GA 30328. Our telephone number is (404) 885-6045, and our email address is aureus.now@gmail.com. Our website is www.aureusnow.com.
We are a food brand development company that builds and represents popular food concepts throughout the United States and international markets. Management is highly experienced at business integration and re-branding potential. With little territory available for the older brands, we intend to bring fresh, innovative brands with great potential. Our brands will be unique as we focus on niche markets that are still in need of development.
| 15 |
We operate two lines of business. Through our subsidiary, YIC Acquisitions Corp. (“YICA”), we acquired the assets of Yuengling’s Ice Cream (“YIC” or “Yuengling’s”) in June 2019. Yuengling’s sells high-quality ice cream without artificial colors, flavoring, or preservatives and no added hormones. Yuengling’s is currently sold in select retailers and convenience stores in eastern Pennsylvania. In September 2020, we entered into the micro-market segment and launched our second business line, Aureus Micro-Markets (“AMM”). Closely tied to the vending machine industry, micro-markets look and feel like modern convenience stores while functioning with the ease and efficiency of vending food service and refreshment services. They provide an improved customer experience and greater product variety, with a proven track record of increasing sales at vending locations while keeping labor costs down and improving operating efficiencies. Micro-markets are a hybrid form of vending, food service, coffee service, and convenience stores that provide an improved customer experience, exponentially greater product variety, and increased sales within a single location while keeping labor costs down and improving operational efficiencies. The expanded product variety, open flow, and cashless payment options mean that consumers spend less time in line fumbling with cash/change, can purchase multiple items with one transaction, and buy more items per transaction than with cash transactions.
In January 2022, the company signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire a production facility. The LOI expired with no further taken by either party.
In February 2022, the Company signed a binding Letter of Intent to acquire Revolution Desserts (“Revolution”). Revolution owns or licenses the Gelato Fiasco, Sweet Scoops, Art Cream, and SoCo Creamery brands. Revolution was founded by Robert Carlson and Luciano Alves. Mr. Carlson and Charles Green run the day-to-day operations of the company.
On May 17, 2022, the Company and Revolution terminated the Definitive Agreement entered into on April 30, 2022. The primary reason for the termination is the regulatory delays in qualifying the Company’s Reg 1-A.

Revenue
We had $0 in revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2022, compared to $3,568 for the nine months ended July 31, 2021. The

We repaid $54,500 of notes payable.
Going Concern
As of July 31, 2022, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our operations.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have not yet generated any revenue. As a result of these and other factors, our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to generate capital financing. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.
Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: (i) obtaining funding from new investors to alleviate our working capital deficiency, and (ii) implementing our plan of operation to generate sales. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to resolve our liquidity problems and increase profitability in our business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no 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 that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 2 to the Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements.
We are subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.
We recognize deferred tax assets (future tax benefits) and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax return consequences of those differences, which are expected to be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Future tax benefits have been fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance as management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company has chosen the early adoption of ASU 2020-06. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. If the standard was not early adopted the Company would have had to recognize a beneficial conversion feature on its convertible note payable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Each of our principal executive and principal financial officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on their evaluation, each such person concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 31, 2022.
The following aspects of the Company were noted as potential material weaknesses:
| · | Due to our size and limited resources, we currently do not employ the appropriate accounting personnel to ensure (a) we maintain proper segregation of duties, (b) that all transactions are entered timely and accurately, and (c) we properly account for complex or unusual transactions; | |
| · | Due to our size and scope of operations, we currently do not have an independent audit committee in place; | |
| · | Due to our size and limited resources, we have not properly documented a complete assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting. |
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the relevant period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
