Business Context and Reporting Period
This filing is for LAZEX Inc., a Nevada start-up providing travel consulting and brewery-tour guide services in the Czech Republic. It reports the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, with comparison to the period from inception on July 12, 2015 through April 30, 2016. The request metadata identifies AIRWA Inc. and “2016 Q4,” which does not match the registrant or reporting period stated in the filing.
Financial Performance and Position
- Revenue was $14,700 in fiscal 2017; the company reported no revenue in the inception-to-April 2016 comparison period.
- Net income was $3,792, versus a net loss of $814 in the comparison period. Fiscal 2017 net margin was approximately 25.8%. Operating expenses were $10,908; no income tax provision was recorded. Basic and diluted EPS were reported as $0.00.
- At April 30, 2017, cash was $15,970, total assets $19,365, total liabilities $6,987, and stockholders’ equity $12,378. Current assets were $16,615 against current liabilities of $6,987.
- Liabilities comprised $5,873 of accrued expenses and a $1,114 related-party loan. The loan is unsecured, non-interest-bearing, and due on demand. The company reported no bank credit lines.

Changes Versus the Comparable Period
- The company moved from pre-revenue operations and an $814 loss to $14,700 in revenue and $3,792 in net income.
- Total assets increased from $5,100 to $19,365, liabilities from $914 to $6,987, and equity from $4,186 to $12,378.
- It issued 220,000 shares for $4,400 during fiscal 2017. After year-end through August 2, 2017, it issued a further 170,000 shares for $3,400.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Management expects existing working capital, anticipated cash flow, further advances, or financing to fund operations for about six months; it expects to need additional capital for longer-term requirements. Financing may be unavailable or unacceptable, and new equity or convertible debt could dilute shareholders or have senior rights.
- The auditor included a going-concern explanatory paragraph, citing the company’s limited operating history and substantial doubt about its ability to continue. Management’s plans include using cash on hand and seeking director loans or private placements; continued related-party support is not contractually committed.
- All fiscal 2017 revenue came from six customers, each representing more than 10% of sales. This indicates substantial customer concentration.
- Management concluded disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of April 30, 2017. The company has one officer/director, no audit committee financial expert, and no active trading market was established as of August 2, 2017.
- The filing reports no material commitments, off-balance-sheet arrangements, or current or known pending legal proceedings. Although Item 1A says risk factors are “not applicable,” the filing discusses material financing, going-concern, customer-concentration, and control risks.
Important Facts to Verify
- Confirm the intended issuer and period: the supplied metadata says AIRWA Inc. and 2016 Q4, while the filing names LAZEX Inc. and covers the year ended April 30, 2017.
- Verify the apparent ownership-percentage inconsistency: one section says the director owns 92.76%, while another reports 5,000,000 of 5,220,000 shares, or 95.78%.
- Assess the sustainability and collectability of revenue, customer concentration, and the effect of accrued expenses on reported operating cash flow.
- Review near-term cash needs, the feasibility and terms of future financing, and the going-concern uncertainty.
- Check remediation of ineffective disclosure controls and confirm post-year-end share issuance and resulting dilution.
