PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
CORPORATE HISTORY
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2007 under the name Descanso Agency, Inc. We originally incorporated to enter into the travel industry by establishing a specialized service travel company that serves the needs of Mexican and United States wedding planners, travel agents, and clients seeking upscale personal attention at unique hotels and spas located in Mexico. Our core business plan was intended to focus on the wedding and party destination travel. However, due to a lack of available financing, the Company ceased its current operations in September 2009 relating to the travel industry and began seeking out viable alternatives.
On October 16, 2009, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to change our name to Pacific Blue Energy Corp. The name change reflected the Company's refocused business at that time as an independent alternative energy company. We began the process of approaching potential investment partners and have also began seeking out potential opportunities, including joint venture opportunities. We attempted to finance our operations through a combination of privately placed debt and/or equity. With the alignment started time of a number of positive factors including technical advances, tax incentives, rising environmental awareness and the state of the economy, the availability of clean, affordable, solar and wind powered electricity to power homes and small businesses then become a reality.
Effective November 6, 2009, the Company implemented a 4-for-1 forward split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, whereby every share of common stock held was exchanged for 4 shares of common stock. As a result, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock were increased from 9,250,000 prior to the forward split to 37,000,000 immediately following the forward split.
On April 5, 2010, the Company acquired a 100% interest of Ship Ahoy LLC, a limited liability company in Arizona, in exchange for $300,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of the Company. This investment was subsequently abandoned by the Company. On August 22, 2019, the Company changed its' name to Cannonau Corp. to reflect its' focus on its new CBD based products.
OUR BUSINESS
The Company using cutting edge nanotechnology plans to offer the most advanced Cannabidiol (CBD) for improved bioavailability and maximum benefit. We believe that our unique formulas can be easily incorporated into a wide array of products, offering customers an advantage when it counts.

We have one main products, namely the concealed weapons detection system. In all cases revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer, installed (if necessary) and accepted by the customer as a completed sale. Each product has an unconditional 30-day warranty, during which time the product can be returned for a complete refund. Customers can purchase extended warranties, which provide for replacement or repair of the unit beyond the period provided by the unconditional warranty. Warranties can be purchased for various periods but generally they are for one-year period that begins after any other warranties expire. The revenue from warranties is recognized on a straight-line bases over the period covered by the warranty. Prior to the issuance of financial statements management reviews any returns subsequent to the end of the accounting period which are from sales recognized during the accounting period and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary. Product prices are fixed or determinable and products are only shipped when collectability is reasonably assured.
Stock Based Compensation
We account for share-based compensation at fair value. Stock based compensation cost for stock options granted to employees, board members and service providers is determined at the grant date using an option pricing model. The value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of
Cannonau Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cannonau Corp as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year 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, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern as disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statement, the Company have negative cashflow from operating activities of $ 32,275 and an accumulated deficit of $3,449,932 as of December 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company ability to continue as a going concern, the continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2023, is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders and lenders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external fund providers will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
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 audit 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.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Critical Audit Matter Description
Assets and Liabilities written off.
During the year 2023, the company disposed of 91% interest in Cannonau to Brookland Trust Limited, a company owned by Markwin Maring for a cash consideration of $500,000.00. At the date of sales, the company has a liability of $362,151 to Aqua Marine Holdings LLC, Joseph C Passalaqua and Friction & Heat LLC. Joseph is a majority shareholder of Cannonau Corp. The sales proceeds received, and the assets and liabilities at acquisition date were written off.
We identified the related party transactions as a critical audit matter because Aqua Marine Holdings and Joseph C Passalaqua have significant related party transactions affecting the assets and liabilities of the company.
The procedures performed to address the matter include.
(1) We reviewed the Assets purchase agreements and legal documents for the transaction,
(2) confirmed the sales proceed to Aquamarine Bank statements
(3) Reviewed the support to ensure proper recording
(4) We circularized each related party to confirm the company is free from related party debt.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Cannonau Corp
937 Old Seneca Turnpike Road
Skaneateles, NY 13252-9318
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cannonau Corp (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2022, 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 year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses since inception, has a shareholder deficit, and the Company and has not generated sufficient revenues to date to cover its operating costs – these factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
A critical audit matter is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee or the Company’s governance and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating a critical audit, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. We determined that there are no critical audit matters communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

CANNONAU CORP.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Cannonau Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 3, 2007 as Pacific Blue Energy Corp. On April 5, 2010, the Company acquired a 100% interest of Ship Ahoy LLC, a limited liability company in Arizona, in exchange for $300,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of the Company. This investment was subsequently abandoned by the Company. The Company is currently developing Cannabis based products. On August 22, 2019, the Company changed its' name to Cannonau Corp. to reflect its' focus on its new Cannabis based products.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had minimal revenues and an accumulated deficit of $3,449,932. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are expressed in US dollars.. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of its long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
d)Revenue Recognition
During the year ended December 31, 2023 our revenue recognition policy was in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, which requires the recognition of sales when control of the product passes to the customer or the service is provided and is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all the related amendments, which are also codified into ASC 606. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC 606.
e)Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
f)Financial Instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting for our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over our financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)
| pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairy reflect our transactions.
|
(2)
| provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and
|
(3)
| provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
|
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error or circumvention through collusion of improper overriding of controls. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO 2013") in Internal-Control-Integrated Framework and implemented a process to monitor and assess both the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
(1)
| We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management's view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company's financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management's activities
|
22
(2)
| We did not maintain enough skilled accounting resources supporting the financial close and reporting processes to ensure (i) changes and entry to spreadsheets utilized in the financial reporting process were properly reviewed, (ii) significant estimates and judgments were adequately supported, reviewed, approved and evaluated against actual experiences, (iii) effective and timely analysis and reconciliation of significant accounts, and (iv) a proper review of period close entries and procedures
|
We have instituted remediation plan which involves reeducating our management, the accounting staff, and the administrative staff as to the elements of a completed sale. We increased the oversight of the process by increasing the frequency of involvement of outside accounting consultants. Internal systems are being put into place to track and document significant dates, such as delivery, installation and customer acceptance. In addition, the bookkeeping system has been modified so that all sales of extended warranties are automatically recorded as deferred revenue and that the amount of revenue that is ultimately recognized as warranty revenue is as the result of an analysis of the significant aspects of the warranty such as coverage and period.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2020. In connection with such evaluation, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred since the beginning of our fourth quarter of 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. While there have been no changes, we have assessed our internal controls as being deficient and will be taking steps beginning in 2024 to remedy such deficiencies.

Markwin H. Maring
Markwin Maring (born 1970) is an entrepreneur and investor with a diverse portfolio spanning over three decades. His journey commenced in 1989 with the establishment of his inaugural business venture in marketing & communications in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
In the year 2000, Maring co-founded the MeesPierson Informal Opportunity Fund, an initiative under MeesPierson Private Wealth. This pivotal endeavor saw the formation of a diverse portfolio, encompassing renowned Dutch companies such as Van Dobben and Kwekkeboom croquettes, as well as Van Dijk Food and the medical imaging activities of Delft Instruments N.V., Oldelft & Rogan.
23
In 2007, Maring initiated the Concordia Fund, succeeding the MeesPierson Fund, with private bank F. van Lanschot as a cornerstone investor. However, the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008 prompted a shift in strategy as leveraged finance options dwindled. Concordia Fund subsequently consolidated operations, ceasing further investments in its portfolio.
Recognizing the need for resilience and stability, Maring transitioned towards full captive financing in 2010, establishing a 100% privately financed, family-owned business. Since then, Maring, alongside his family, has spearheaded the founding of various ventures, with a focus on diverse sectors including medtech, life science, financial & business services, energy, trading, automotive, web-retail, IC, circularity, and telecom.
In 2020, Maring consolidated his activities in Switzerland, founding Maring Holdings AG in Switzerland. From its headquarters in Geneva, Maring Holdings AG continues to expand its portfolio, embracing new opportunities and ventures.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS
Audit Committee
The board of directors does not have an audit committee, and the functions of the audit committee are currently performed by our Corporate Secretary, with assistance by expert independent accounting personnel and oversight by the entire board of directors.

Board of Directors Independence. Our board of directors currently consists of one member. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include "independent" directors.
Audit Committee Financial Expert. Our board of directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In general, an "audit committee financial expert" is an individual member of the audit committee who (a) understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, (b) is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (c) has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to the Company's financial statements, (d) understands internal controls over financial reporting and (e) understands audit committee functions.
We have not yet replaced our former audit committee financial expert, but we are engaged in finding a suitable replacement.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received and written representations from reporting persons required to file reports under Section 16(a), all of the Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such persons, with respect to fiscal year 2020, appear not to have been complied with to the best of our knowledge.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
We do not have a specific policy or procedure for the review, approval, or ratification of any transaction involving related persons. We historically have sought and obtained funding from officers, directors, and family members as these categories of persons are familiar with our management and often provide better terms and conditions than we can obtain from unassociated sources. Also, we are so small that having specific policies or procedures of this type would be unworkable.
