THE MARQUIE GROUP, INC.
(formerly Music of Your Life, Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 2023
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
Organization
The Marquie Group, Inc. (formerly Music of Your Life, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 30, 2008 under the name of “Zhong Sen International Tea Company”. From January 2008 to May 2013, the Company operated with the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wished to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. On May 31, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Music of Your Life, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYL Nevada”) incorporated October 10, 2012, and Music of Your Life Merger Sub, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which MYL Nevada merged with Merger Sub. As a result of the merger, MYL Nevada became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and on July 26, 2013, the Company changed its name to Music of Your Life, Inc., a syndicated radio network. On May 20, 2014 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of iRadio, Inc., a Utah corporation. The Company was the surviving corporation. iRadio was an entity related to the Company by common ownership.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading, have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2024.
Acquisition of The Marquie Group, Inc.
On August 16, 2018 (see Note 8), the Company merged with The Marquie Group, Inc. (“TMGI”) in exchange for the issuance of a total of 100 shares of our common stock to TMGI’s stockholders. Following the merger, the Company had 102 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On December 5, 2018, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation providing for a change in the Company’s name from “Music of Your Life, Inc.” to “The Marquie Group, Inc.” The TMGI business plan is to license, develop and launch a direct-to-consumer, health and beauty product line called “Whim” that use innovative formulations of plant-based, amino-acids and other natural alternatives to chemical ingredients.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. At November 30, 2023, the Company had negative working capital of $
| 7 |
To date the Company has funded its operations through a combination of loans and sales of common stock. The Company anticipates another net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming year, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.
The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of notes payable and additional equity and by generating revenues through sales of products and services. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The above convertible notes contain a variable conversion feature based on the future trading price of the Company common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes is indeterminate. Accordingly, we have recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion features as a derivative liability at the respective issuance dates of the notes and charged the applicable amounts to debt discounts and the remainder to other expense. The increase (decrease) in the fair value of the derivative liability from the respective issuance dates of the notes to the measurement dates is charged (credited) to other expense (income). The fair value of the derivative liability of the notes is measured at the respective issuance dates and quarterly thereafter using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

Assumptions used for the calculations of the derivative liability of the notes at November 30, 2023 include (1) stock price of $0.0005 per share, (2) exercise prices ranging from $0.00004 to $0.000378 per share, (3) terms ranging from 0 days to 293 days, (4) expected volatility of 2,202% and (5) risk free interest rates ranging from 5.44% to 5.56%.
Assumptions used for the calculations of the derivative liability of the notes at May 31, 2023 include (1) stock price of $0.0041 per share, (2) exercise prices ranging from $0.00004 to $0.001755 per share, (3) terms ranging from 0 days to 315 days, (4) expected volatility of 2,189% and (5) risk free interest rates ranging from 4.65% to 5.28%.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to future events or our future performance. Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this prospectus. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The Marquie Group, Inc. is an emerging direct-to-consumer firm specializing in product development and media, including a dynamic radio and digital network. We craft and promote top-tier health and beauty solutions that enrich lives, showcased through engaging radio content for our audience. We maintain a website at www.themarquiegroup.com. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to these reports are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after those reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. The information on our website is not a part of or incorporated by reference into this or any other report of the company filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
We have three operating segments: (1) Broadcast, (2) Digital Media, and (3) Health and Beauty, which also qualify as reportable segments. Our operating segments reflect how we assess the performance of each operating segment and determine the appropriate allocations of resources to each segment. We continually review our operating segment classifications to align with operational changes in our business and may make changes as necessary.
We measure and evaluate our operating segments based on operating income and operating expenses that exclude costs related to corporate functions, such as accounting and finance, human resources, legal, tax and treasury. We also exclude costs such as amortization, depreciation, taxes, and interest expense when evaluating the performance of our operating segments.
Broadcasting
Our foundational business is radio broadcasting, which includes the ownership and operation of a syndicated radio network including our affiliated radio stations subscribing to our programming delivery.
Advertising revenue generated from our syndicated radio operations is reported as broadcast revenue in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Advertising revenue is recorded on a gross basis unless an agency represents the advertiser, in which case revenue is reported net of the commission retained by the agency.
Broadcast revenue is impacted by the rates radio stations can charge for programming and advertising time, the level of airtime sold to programmers and advertisers, the number of impressions delivered, or downloads made, and the number of listener responses in the case of pay-per-call. Advertising rates are based upon the demand for advertising time, which in turn is based on our stations’ and networks’ ability to produce results for their advertisers. We market ourselves to advertisers based on the responsiveness of our audiences. We do not subscribe to traditional audience measuring services for most of our radio stations.
Each of our radio station affiliates allocates 3 minutes per hour of advertising time for our commercials at a preset time every hour based on the Music of Your Life clock.
| 16 |
Our results are subject to seasonal fluctuations. As is typical in the broadcasting industry, our second and fourth quarter advertising revenue typically exceeds our first and third quarter advertising revenue. Seasonal fluctuations in advertising revenue correspond with quarterly fluctuations in the retail industry. Additionally, we experience increased demand for political advertising during election even numbered years, over non-election odd numbered years. Political advertising revenue varies based on the number and type of candidates as well as the number and type of debated issues.
Broadcast operating expenses include: (i) employee salaries, commissions and related employee benefits and taxes, (ii) facility expenses such as lease expense and utilities, (iii) marketing and promotional expenses, (iv) production and programming expenses, and (v) music license fees. In addition to these expenses, our network incurs programming costs and lease expenses for satellite communication facilities.
Digital Media
Revenue generated from this segment is reported as digital media revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Digital media revenue is impacted by the rates our sites can charge for advertising time, the level of advertisements sold, the number of impressions delivered, or the number of products sold, and the number of digital subscriptions sold. Like our broadcasting segment, our second and fourth quarter advertising revenue from our digital media segment generally exceeds the segment’s first and third quarter advertising revenue. This seasonal fluctuation in advertising revenue corresponds with quarterly fluctuations in the retail advertising industry. We also experience fluctuations in quarter-over-quarter comparisons based on the date on which Easter is observed, as this holiday generates a higher volume of product downloads from our church product websites. Additionally, we experience increased demand for advertising time and placement during election years for political advertisements.
The primary operating expenses incurred by our digital media businesses include: (i) employee salaries, commissions and related employee benefits and taxes, (ii) facility expenses such as lease expense and utilities, (iii) marketing and promotional expenses, (iv) royalties, (v) streaming costs, and (vi) cost of goods sold associated with e-commerce sites.
Health and Beauty
Except for AminoMints®, our health and beauty operations are owned by Simply Whim, Inc., and include Whim®, an emerging beauty brand blending Nature, Nutrition, and Science to offer safe and effective products. Whim’s founder, a 3-time cancer survivor under treatment, recognizes the U.S.'s regulatory lapses and strives for better standards. Exclusively made in the USA, Whim® aims to provide responsible beauty options. We forecast strong sales growth next year, driven by demand for safer beauty solutions, and plan to exceed these expectations with continued innovation.
Expenses which comprise the costs of goods sold will include licensing agreements and royalties, as well as operational and staffing costs related to the management of the Company’s syndicated radio network, product development and product marketing costs. General and administrative expenses are comprised of administrative wages; office expenses; outside legal, accounting, and other professional fees; travel and other miscellaneous office and administrative expenses. Selling and marketing expenses include selling/marketing wages and benefits, advertising, and promotional expenses, as well as travel and other miscellaneous related expenses.
Because we have incurred losses, income tax expenses are immaterial. No tax benefits have been booked related to operating loss carryforwards, given our uncertainty of being able to utilize such loss carryforwards in future years. We anticipate incurring additional losses during the coming year.
| 17 |
RESULTS OF OPERATION
Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022.
Revenues . The Company generated no net revenues during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022. Revenues in the past have been generated from spot sales on our syndicated radio network.
Cost of Sales . Our cost of sales were $-0- for the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022. Our cost of sales in the future will consist principally of licensing costs and royalties associated with our syndicated radio network, other related services provided directly or outsourced through our affiliates, as well as operational and staffing costs with respect thereto.
Salaries and Consulting Expenses . Executive salaries remain unpaid and accruing for the year ending May 31, 2023. Accrued salaries and consulting expenses were $60,000 and 60,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accrued salaries and consulting expenses were $120,000 and 120,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We expect that salaries and consulting expenses, that are cash-based instead of share-based, will increase as we add personnel to build our health and beauty business.
Professional Fees. Professional fees were $45,917 and $12,992 for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Professional fees were $62,893 and $51,113 for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Professional fees consist mainly of the fees related to the audits and reviews of the Company’s financial statements as well as the filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We anticipate that professional fees will increase in future periods as we scale up our operations.
Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $60,848 and $10,696 for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $61,415 and $12,001 for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase during the three months ended November 30, 2023 was the result of additional expenses of $51,705 related to investor relations. We anticipate that SG&A expenses will increase commensurate with an increase in our operations.
Other Income (Expenses). The Company had net other income of $32,649 and $1,717,387 for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company had net other income of $463,274 and $1,705,373 for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, the company recorded income on the change in the fair value of the derivative liability in the amount of $711,198 and $1,851,116, respectively. During the six months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, other expenses incurred were comprised of interest expenses related to notes payable in the amount of $247,924 and $145,743, which included the amortization of debt discounts of $48,882 and $27,493, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of November 30, 2023, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $2,433 in cash and cash equivalents. We hold our cash reserves in a major United States bank. Since inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock.
We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in negative working capital and an accumulated deficit at November 30, 2023 of $6,014,297 and $14,479,064, respectively, which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We generated net income for the six months ended November 30, 2023 of $218,966, however, that income was the result of income from derivative liability rather than operating income. Without additional revenues, working capital loans, or equity investment, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue operations.
| 18 |
We believe these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small public companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of our products and services at levels sufficient to cover our costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, and (iii) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.
We believe that our capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves, particularly given the resources necessary to expand our multi-media entertainment business. We will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in our business strategy. There is presently no agreement in place that will guarantee financing for our Company, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect our Company and our business and may cause us to substantially curtail or even cease operations. Consequently, you could incur a loss of your entire investment in the Company.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments, and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk, and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements included in our May 31, 2023 Form 10-K. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the past two years and have adopted any that are applicable to the Company. We have determined that none had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the periods presented in this report.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (“SPE”s).

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses (such as the absence of an audit committee and absence of qualified independent directors) in its internal control over financial reporting. The disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective because there was no segregation of duties. One member of our management team handles all accounting duties including the recording of transactions, paying bills, and reconciling the bank account. We have minimized this risk by having an external accountant review all transactions and make the appropriate adjustments before the review by our external auditor.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
See Note 7 in the notes to the financial statements.
With respect to the transactions in Note 7 to the financial statements, each of the recipients of securities of the Company was an accredited investor or is considered by the Company to be a “sophisticated person”, inasmuch as each of them has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of receiving securities of the Company.
