Financial results and position

  • Revenue: $0 for both the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019. The comparable 2018 periods reported $0 for the quarter and $13,240 for the nine months.
  • Profit and expenses: Third-quarter operating expenses and net loss were each $3,472, versus $2,293 in the prior-year quarter. Nine-month operating expenses were $16,041, down from $17,273; net loss was $16,041, compared with $4,033. No income tax provision was reported. Basic and diluted loss per share was reported as $(0.00).
  • Cash flow: Nine-month operating cash use was $16,190, versus $8,090 in 2018. Investing cash flow was $0, compared with $4,800 used in 2018; financing cash flow was $0, compared with $18,700 provided by stock sales in 2018. Cash fell from $20,782 at April 30, 2018 to $4,592 at January 31, 2019.
  • Balance sheet and liquidity: Total assets were $8,371, including $4,592 cash; current liabilities were $2,314 and total liabilities were $2,314. Stockholders’ equity was $6,057, down from $23,298 at April 30, 2018. Current assets were $5,237, implying working capital of $2,923. The company reported a $1,114 unsecured, non-interest-bearing related-party loan, due on demand. No bank lines of credit were available.
  • Margins and debt: With no current-period revenue, an operating margin is not meaningful. The filing reports no interest expense or senior securities; the related-party loan is the disclosed borrowing.

Material changes, outlook, and risks

  • Nine-month revenue fell from $13,240 to zero because no tours were sold through the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The prior-year revenue came entirely from four customers, according to the major-customer disclosure.
  • Management and the notes state that substantial doubt exists about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management expects to fund the next twelve months with available cash and loans from directors and/or private placements; the filing also says long-term needs will require additional capital and revenue. There is no formal commitment for continued related-party support, and financing may be unavailable or dilutive.
  • Management anticipates higher operating and marketing costs and possible inventory and development spending. No quantified financial guidance or revenue forecast is provided.
  • The company disclosed that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. It reported no material changes to internal control over financial reporting during the quarter.
  • On May 15, 2018, the company canceled 60,000 shares and recorded a $1,200 stock refund payable. No material subsequent events or legal proceedings were disclosed.

Key facts for investors to verify

  • Confirm whether this LAZEX INC. filing is the intended filing for AIRWA INC.; the registrant names do not match.
  • Verify the company’s immediate liquidity, cash burn, and ability to meet obligations given $4,592 cash and $16,190 of nine-month operating cash use.
  • Assess whether management can secure financing and whether related-party support will continue despite the absence of a formal commitment.
  • Review the ineffective disclosure-controls conclusion and the status of any remediation.
  • Reconcile the filing’s cash-flow and balance-sheet figures with the underlying statements and confirm the stated reporting period.
