Business Operations
The FatBrain IT Assets include software that uses artificial intelligence ("AI")
to help companies automate enterprise decision cycles to learn, explain and
intervene for better outcomes across all business interactions. The software
continuously learns from historical transactions, incumbent models and in-house
expert teams to deliver a unified framework binding structured and unstructured
data in text, numerical, network/graph and video formats. The technology
leverages modern advances in machine learning and cloud economics to enable
sustained operational advantages of: (i) simplicity with smaller, denser models
using vector embeddings, (ii) auditability with explainable, trusted
quantification and de-biasing using blockchain, (iii) quality work with noisy,
sparse, imbalances or missing date using generative autoencoders, and (iv)
technology using transfer and active learning. We have initiated the
commercialization of the technology and we have spoken to several potential
clients.
FatBrain's AI and machine learning (ML) software is differentiated across three
key areas of automation:
1. Data integration enabling formation and exploitation of a unified asset unique
to each enterprise featuring learned business drivers and exploitable signals,
binding siloed text, spreadsheets, PDF's, databases, emails, alternative
econometric, health and regional data into a unified metric space of entities,
events, relationships, consequences and decisions.
2. Model consolidation across scores of uncoordinated models, boosting incumbent
system performance with improved effectiveness and efficiency, featuring
continuous unit level scoring to distinguish good, bad or worse outcomes with
back testing, featuring receiver operating characteristics ("ROC") and area
under the curve ("AUC") performance benchmarking (collectively "ROC-AUC
curve") for dynamic improvement outpacing static thresholds or legacy rules.
3. Coached decision-making featuring "FatBrain Optimal" outcomes war-gamed to
attain personalized "WAZE-like" awareness tuned to peer-attained goals,
powered by recommendations with quantified, anticipated trade-offs and
automated active and transfer learning, including human expertise in the loop.
The FatBrain technology comprises services to configure, test and deploy
FatBrain solutions on client servers, with flexibility to work in the cloud, on
client premise or in hybrid mode. It allows data integration with client systems
to establish logical, trusted, programmatic connectivity and provides secure
access protocols between the FatBrain technology and the client systems. The
Company provides training and support to the client's staff starting with a
two-week training session for the client's staff along with product support via
phone, web and onsite.
On November 15, 2021, the Company announced the launch of LZG International's
FatBrain product "Angelina," a foreign exchange ("FX") service, as part of its
coached business wellness services ("BWS") to tackle discriminatory pricing in
the $6.6 trillion-dollar daily foreign exchange market. Angelina FX realizes a
multi-year strategic effort co-developed with global leaders to manage FX risk
and provide international payment solutions. Nearly nine thousand businesses
were invited through traditional and nontraditional marketing efforts to take
advantage of the inaugural service offering.
Principal Products and Services
The FatBrain technology offers software solutions packaged within the Modern AI
Architecture. The solutions comprise FatBrain AI applications, Core PaaS
(Platform as a Service), and public cloud (e.g., AWS, Azure, IBM, Google) or on
premise private (Vmware, Nvidia) orchestration using microservices portability.
Our Core PaaS includes capability to dynamically integrate with customer
applications. The FatBrain software framework features data engineering,
encoding, anonymizing, disambiguation and de-biasing modules, working with all
data formats, including text, web, PDF, transaction, time series,
interconnection, econometric, video and behavior data. The framework uses
representational learning, continuous scoring, and pre-trained models featuring
reinforcement learning to identify optimal policies for simulated outcomes in
multi-level, multi-agent settings. The competitive advantage of our framework
delivers continuously improved effectiveness and efficiency controls via a
higher ROC-AUC curve, with explainability and auditability at a lower cost, and
in a fraction of the time compared with traditional analytics offerings.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Beginning on October 26, 2021, LZG International entered into private
subscription agreements with investors under Regulation S. The subscription
agreement provided that the issuance of the common shares was conditioned upon
the Company increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock to at
least 250,000,000, pursuant to Florida law. Any purchase price delivered for a
subscription would be delivered to the Company and would be held, without
interest, until the increase in authorized shares becomes effective.
Each subscriber agreed that the Company would acquire additional assets of
FatBrain LLC and convert certain outstanding convertible promissory notes,
following: (i) the execution of the first public trade of the Company's common
stock on U.S. securities markets and (ii) the share increase. After such asset
purchase transactions, the total number of outstanding shares of common stock
will be approximately 110,000,000 shares.
Subject to the terms of the subscription agreement, on October 29, 2021, Martin
J. Corrado, a US national, agreed to purchase One Hundred and Ten Thousand
(110,000) of LZG International common shares at approximately $0.4545 per share
($50,000). On November 9, 2021, Red Planet Alpha Limited, a Cayman Islands
entity, agreed to purchase Four Million Four Hundred Thousand (4,400,000) of LZG
International common shares at approximately $0.4545 per share ($2,000,000). On
November 11, 2021, Tariq Alwahedi, a UAE national, agreed to purchase One
Million Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand (1,320,000) of LZG International
common shares at approximately $0.4545 per share ($600,000). On November 15,
2021, Abdulla Al Mutawa, a UAE national, agreed to purchase One Hundred and Ten
Thousand (110,000) of LZG International common shares at approximately $0.4545
per share ($50,000). The shares will be issued in reliance on an exemption from
the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation S of
the Securities Act.
In connection with each of these isolated issuances of our securities, we
believe that each purchaser (i) was aware that the securities had not been
registered under federal securities laws, (ii) acquired the securities for
his/her/its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to or for
resale in connection with any distribution for purpose of the federal securities
laws, (iii) understood that the securities would need to be indefinitely held
unless registered or an exemption from registration applied to a proposed
disposition and (iv) was aware that the certificate representing the securities
would bear a legend restricting their transfer. We believe that, in light of the
foregoing, the sale of our securities to the respective acquirers did not
constitute the sale of an unregistered security in violation of the federal
securities laws and regulations by reason of the exemptions provided under
Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.

Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status
LZG International was a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately before the
closing of the FatBrain IT Contribution Agreement and the acquisition of the
FatBrain IT Assets. As a result of the acquisition of the IT Assets of FatBrain
(as described more fully in Item 2.01, above), LZG International has acquired
marketable assets and initiated operations related to the development and sale
of the FatBrain technology. As a result of these actions, management believes
LZG International is no longer a shell company.
