INTERNATIONAL STAR, INC.
2,000,000,000 Units
By this Offering Circular, International Star,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) is offering for sale a maximum (the “Maximum Offering”) of
2,000,000,000 Units (the “Units”), at a purchase price of $0.001 USD per Unit, pursuant to Tier 1 of Regulation A
of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Each Unit is comprised of one share of common stock,
par value $0.001 (a “Common Stock”), and one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”)
to purchase one additional Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.001 USD per Warrant
Share, subject to certain adjustments, over a 60-month exercise period following the date of issuance of the Warrant. This offering is
being conducted on a best-efforts basis, which means that there is no minimum number of Units that must be sold by us for this offering
to close; thus, we may receive no or minimal proceeds from this offering. The minimum investment established for each investor is $50,000,
unless such minimum is waived by the Company in its sole discretion. All proceeds from this offering will become immediately available
to us and may be used as they are accepted. Purchasers of the Units will not be entitled to a refund and could lose their entire investments.
Please see the “Risk Factors” section, beginning on page 5, for a discussion of the risks associated
with a purchase of the Units.
We estimate that this offering will commence
within two days of qualification; this offering will terminate at the earliest of (a) the date on which the Maximum Offering has been
sold, or (b) the date which is one year from this offering being qualified by the SEC. (See “Plan of Distribution”).

in the OTC Pink marketplace of OTC Link. On July 15, 2024, the closing price of our common stock was $.0014 per share.
Investing in the Units is speculative and

at any annual or special meeting of our shareholders. ILST Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the owner of all of the
outstanding shares of the Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock. Avi Minkowitz, a Director of the Company, is the Manager of ILST Holdco
LLC, and will therefore be able to control the management and affairs of our Company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our
shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any
other significant corporate transaction. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Units”).

Overview of the Company
International Star Inc. has historically been focused
on mineral property interests. In June 2022, a controlling stake in International Star was acquired by ILST Holdco LLC.
On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into a transaction
to acquire Budding Equity, Inc. (the “Acquiree” or “Budding”), a Canadian company that partners with movie studios
and celebrities to monetize their intellectual property (IP) in the burgeoning global cannabis industry, using best in class manufacturers
and distributors. The Company closed on an initial interest of 6% in the common stock of Budding and secured an option to acquire the
remaining 94% within 12 months (the “Transaction”). On November 9, 2022, the Company acquired an additional 1.5% of Budding’s
common stock, bringing its total interest in the common stock of Budding to 7.5%.
On February 14, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition
of Budding (the “Acquisition”), and the Company became the sole owner of all of Budding’s outstanding shares, making
Budding the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. As of February 14, 2023, upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Company ceased
to be a shell company. With the Budding acquisition, the Company is now operating an established cannabis royalty business with significant
licensing agreements in place. This business generates royalty revenues from both the sale of celebrity cannabis strains (in multiple
states) as well as licensed and branded cannabis-related hardware.
Additional information on the Company can be
found within this Offering Circular.

recently adopted rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission mandated under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the
JOBS Act. These offering rules are often referred to as “Regulation A+.” We are relying upon “Tier 1”

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Common Stock involves
a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in
this Offering Circular, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial
condition, or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of Common Stock could decline and you
may lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”
above for a discussion of forward-looking statements and the significance of such statements in the context of this Offering Circular.
Risks Related to Our Business
OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
IS IN SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABSENT OUR OBTAINING ADEQUATE NEW DEBT OR EQUITY FINANCINGS. Our continued existence is dependent upon us
obtaining adequate working capital to fund all of our planned operations and acquisitions. Working capital limitations continue to impinge
on our day-to-day operations, thus contributing to continued operating losses. If we are unable to raise funds to fund our acquisitions
we may not be able to continue as a going concern and you would lose your investment. We have incurred accumulated operating losses since
inception and, as of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,653,481 (unaudited). If the Company is able to raise the
necessary funds to execute its business plan or if the Company earns any revenues from its business operations, some of these funds will
have to be used to pay off the outstanding debt of the Company.
Any losses in the future could cause the quoted
price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they
become due, and on our cash flows.
WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING
OPERATIONS, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS OR CEASE OPERATIONS
ALTOGETHER. We need additional capital to fund our operations and we may not be able to obtain such capital, which would cause us
to limit or cease our operations entirely. The conditions of the global credit markets may adversely affect our ability to raise capital
in the future. If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms or at all, we may not be able to execute our business
plans and may have to modify them accordingly or even suspend them.
Even if we do find a source of additional capital,
we may not be able to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital. Any future capital investments will
dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or debt
securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give
you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us or, if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL CRITICAL FOR MANAGEMENT
DECISIONS WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS. Our success depends upon the continued contributions of our executive officers
and/or key employees, particularly with respect to providing the critical management decisions and contacts necessary to manage acquisitions,
product development, marketing, and growth within our industry. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense and there are a limited
number of people with the requisite knowledge and experience. Under these conditions, we could be unable to attract and retain these
personnel. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees for any reason could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.
UNPREDICTABLE EVENTS, SUCH AS THE COVID-19
OUTBREAK, AND ASSOCIATED BUSINESS DISRUPTIONS COULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR FUTURE REVENUES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION, DELAY OUR OPERATIONS,
INCREASE OUR COSTS AND EXPENSES, AND AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL. Unpredictable events, such as extreme weather conditions,
acts of God and medical epidemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and other natural or manmade disasters or business interruptions may
cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect
on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond
our control. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization
has since declared the outbreak to constitute a pandemic. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance
will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers and our sales cycles,
impact on our customer, employee or industry events, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may
impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain. Additionally, COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the
global financial markets, which could impact our ability to raise additional capital. There is also a risk that other countries or regions
may be less effective at containing COVID-19, or it may be more difficult to contain if the outbreak reaches a larger population or broader
geography, in which case the risks described herein could be elevated significantly.
Risks Related to Our Acquisition of Budding Equity, Inc.
On
February 14, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Budding (the “Acquisition”),
and the Company became the sole owner of all of Budding’s outstanding shares, making
Budding the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. As of February 14, 2023, upon the completion
of the Acquisition, the Company ceased to be a shell company. With the Budding acquisition,
the Company is now operating an established cannabis royalty business with significant licensing
agreements in place.
Budding currently generates royalties via sales
in two segments: royalty revenue generated from celebrity cannabis strains (the “Cannabis Segment”) that are sold across
various states, and royalty revenue generated by sales of licensed and branded hardware (the “Hardware Segment”).
The following risk factors relate to our wholly owned subsidiary, Budding
Equity, Inc.
DUE TO OUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY,
WE MAY HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME OBTAINING THE VARIOUS INSURANCES THAT ARE DESIRED TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS, WHICH MAY EXPOSE US TO ADDITIONAL
RISK AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES. Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as workers' compensation, general liability,
and directors and officer's insurance, is more difficult for us to find and more expensive, because we are a service provider to companies
in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be
affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may
inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities. We do not carry general liability insurance. Because
we may be limited in the types of insurance coverage we can obtain, if we are made a party of a legal action, we may not have sufficient
funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations or result
in other negative material impacts to our business.
UNFAVORABLE PUBLICITY OR CONSUMER PERCEPTION
OF BUDDING’S PRODUCTS OR ANY SIMILAR PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTED BY OTHER COMPANIES COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. We believe Budding’s product sales will be highly dependent on consumer perception of the safety,
quality and efficacy of the products as well as similar or other products distributed and sold by other companies. Consumer perception
of the products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, national media
attention, and other publicity including publicity regarding the legality, safety or quality of particular ingredients or products and
cannabis markets in general. From time to time, there is unfavorable publicity, scientific research or findings, litigation, regulatory
proceedings and other media attention regarding our industry. There can be no assurance that future publicity, scientific research or
findings, litigation, regulatory proceedings, or media attention will be favorable to the cannabis markets or any particular product
or ingredient, or consistent with earlier publicity, scientific research or findings, litigation, regulatory proceedings or media attention.
Adverse publicity, scientific research or findings, litigation, regulatory proceedings or media attention, whether or not accurate, could
have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, adverse publicity, reports or other media attention
regarding the safety, quality, or efficacy of our products or ingredients of cannabis products in general, or associating the use of
our products or ingredients in general with illness or other adverse effects, whether or not scientifically supported or accurate, could
have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
LAWS AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING THE REGULATED
INDUSTRIAL HEMP INDUSTRY ARE IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FLUX, WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, AND WE CANNOT PREDICT THE IMPACT
THAT FUTURE REGULATIONS MAY HAVE ON US. Local, state and federal industrial hemp laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject
to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business. In addition,
violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our
business operations. In addition, it is likely that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our
Cannabis related businesses. We are unable to predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor
are we able to determine the effect any such additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and
if promulgated, could have on our Cannabis related business.
Because Budding operates in the Cannabis industry,
it is possible that, in the future, we may have difficulty accessing the service of banks. Budding operates in the Cannabis industry
and this could cause us to have difficulty securing services from banks, in the future.
If our trademarks and other proprietary rights
are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by competitors, the value of our brands may be diminished, and our business
adversely affected. We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on a combination of confidentiality and license agreements with employees,
consultants and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights.
If the protection of our intellectual property rights is inadequate to prevent use or misappropriation by third parties, the value of
our brands may be diminished, and the perception of our products may become confused in the marketplace. In such circumstance, our business
could be adversely affected.
We could be subject to product liability claims.
The sale of our products involves, and will involve, the risk of injury to customers and others. There can be no assurance that the
use or consumption of any of one of our products will not cause a health-related illness or that it will not be subject to claims or
lawsuits relating to such matters. Any claims or liabilities might not be covered by our insurance. Thus, there is no assurance that
we would not incur claims or liabilities for which we are not insured or that exceed the amount of our insurance coverage, resulting
in cash outlays that could, if significant enough in nature, materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
Risks Related to Compliance and Regulation
WE WILL NOT HAVE REPORTING OBLIGATIONS UNDER
SECTIONS 14 OR 16 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934; NOR WILL ANY SHAREHOLDERS BE SUBJECT TO REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION
13D, 13G OR REGULATION 14D. So long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers
and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common shares will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class
of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports
concerning their ownership of common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our
directors, executive officers and beneficial holders will only be available, if at all, through periodic reports we file with OTC Markets.
Our common stock is not registered under the
Exchange Act and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future; provided, however,
that we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of any fiscal year, more than either (1)
2,000 persons; or (2) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
Further, as long as our common stock is not registered
under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that
have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders
and filing with the SEC a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules.
The reporting required by Section 14(d) of the
Exchange Act provides information to the public about persons other than the company who is making the tender offer. A tender offer is
a broad solicitation by a company or a third party to purchase a substantial percentage of a company’s common stock for a limited
period of time. This offer is for a fixed price, usually at a premium over the current market price, and is customarily contingent on
shareholders tendering a fixed number of their shares.
In addition, as long as our common stock is not
registered under the Exchange Act, our company will not be subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation 13D and Regulation 13G,
which require the disclosure of any person who, after acquiring directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of any equity securities
of a class, becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class.
THERE MAY BE DEFICIENCIES WITH OUR INTERNAL
CONTROLS THAT REQUIRE IMPROVEMENTS. Our company is not required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls
over financial reporting. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and, therefore, there
is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that
have conducted such independent evaluations.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
AS A NON-LISTED COMPANY CONDUCTING AN EXEMPT
OFFERING PURSUANT TO REGULATION A, WE ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS. As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to
a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer conducting an offering on Form S-1 or listing on a national stock exchange
would be. Accordingly, we are not required to have (a) a board of directors of which a majority consists of independent directors under
the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (b) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit
committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (c) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely
of independent directors and a written nominating/ corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements,
(d) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements
of a national stock exchange, and (e) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections
afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national stock exchange.
OUR HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE MAKES US DEPENDENT
ON OUR SUBSIDIARIES FOR OUR CASH FLOW AND COULD SERVE TO SUBORDINATE THE RIGHTS OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS TO THE RIGHTS OF CREDITORS OF OUR
SUBSIDIARIES, IN THE EVENT OF AN INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION OF ANY SUCH SUBSIDIARY. Our company acts as a holding company and, accordingly,
substantially all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries will be separate and distinct legal entities.
As a result, substantially all of our cash flow will depend upon the earnings of our subsidiaries. In addition, we will depend on the
distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by our subsidiaries. No subsidiary will have any obligation to provide our company
with funds for our payment obligations. If there is an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, our
shareholders will have no right to proceed against their assets. Creditors of those subsidiaries will be entitled to payment in full
from the sale or other disposal of the assets of those subsidiaries before our company, as a shareholder, would be entitled to receive
any distribution from that sale or disposal.
Risks Related to a Purchase
of the Units
THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE UNITS WAS ARBITRARILY
DETERMINED, AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE SHARES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE
BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE COMPANY, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL. The terms of this offering were
determined arbitrarily by us. The offering price for the Units does not necessarily bear any relationship to our company’s assets,
book value, earnings or other established criteria of valuation. Accordingly, the offering price of the Units should not be considered
as an indication of any intrinsic value of such securities. (See “Dilution.”)
THERE MAY BE LITTLE TO NO VOLUME IN THE TRADING
OF OUR COMMON STOCK. There can no assurance that our Common Stock shares will maintain a sufficient trading market sufficient for
the shares in this offering. If no active trading market for our Common Stock is sustained following this Offering, you may be unable
to sell your shares when you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider attractive or satisfactory. The lack of an active market
may also adversely affect our ability to raise capital by selling securities in the future or impair our ability to license or acquire
other product candidates, businesses, or technologies using our shares as consideration.
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, AND YOU MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES FOR MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID OR AT ALL. Our stock price may be subject to significant volatility,
and you may not be able to sell shares of Common Stock at or above the price you paid for them or at all. The market for low priced securities
is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not
uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue. The price of our common stock may be subject
to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:
| · | quarterly
variations in our operating results; |
| · | operating
results that vary from the expectations of investors; |
| · | changes
in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by
investors; |
| · | reaction
to our periodic filings, or presentations by executives at investor and industry conferences; |
| · | changes
in our capital structure; |
| · | announcements
of innovations or new services by us or our competitors; |
| · | announcements
by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships,
joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| · | lack
of success in the expansion of our business operations; |
| · | announcements
by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against our company or adverse developments
in pending proceedings; |
| · | additions
or departures of key personnel; |
| · | asset
impairment; |
| · | temporary
or permanent inability to operate our retail location(s); and |
| · | rumors
or public speculation about any of the above factors. |
Further, price and volume fluctuations result
in volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our Common Stock. Price volatility of our
common stock might worsen if the trading volume of our Common Stock is low. The realization of any of the above risks or any of a broad
range of other risks, including those described in these “Risk Factors,” could have a dramatic and material adverse impact
on the market price of our Common Stock.
YOU MAY NEVER REALIZE ANY
ECONOMIC BENEFIT FROM A PURCHASE OF THE UNITS. Because our common stock is volatile and thinly traded, there is no assurance that
you will ever realize any economic benefit from your purchase of the Units.
OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE PENNY STOCK,
WHICH MAY IMPAIR TRADING LIQUIDITY. Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in
the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. Trades of our common stock will be subject
to Rule 15g-9 of the SEC, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability
determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale.
The SEC also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally
are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted
on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by
the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level
of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny
stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market
value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation
information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer
in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
THE MARKET FOR PENNY STOCKS HAS SUFFERED IN
RECENT YEARS FROM PATTERNS OF FRAUD AND ABUSE. Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market
for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
| · | control
of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the
promoter or issuer; |
| · | manipulation
of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases; |
| · | boiler
room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by
inexperienced salespersons; |
| · | excessive
and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and |
| · | the
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have
been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those
prices and with consequential investor losses. |
AS AN ISSUER OF PENNY STOCK, THE PROTECTION
PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS DOES NOT APPLY TO US. Although federal securities
laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws,
this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection
in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was
misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
OUR SECURITIES ARE CURRENTLY TRADED ON THE
OTCMARKETS®, WHICH MAY NOT PROVIDE AS MUCH LIQUIDITY FOR OUR INVESTORS AS MORE RECOGNIZED SENIOR EXCHANGES SUCH AS THE NASDAQ STOCK
MARKET OR OTHER NATIONAL OR REGIONAL EXCHANGES. Our Common Stock is currently listed on the OTCMarkets®, with a trading symbol
of ILST. The OTC Markets are inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets that provide significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market
or other national or regional exchanges. Securities traded on the OTC Markets are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer
market makers and are not followed by analysts. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not
apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets. Quotes for stocks included on the OTC Markets are not listed in newspapers. Therefore,
prices for securities traded solely on the OTC Markets may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell
their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price.
FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY (“FINRA”)
SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE PRICE
OF OUR COMMON STOCK. FINRA has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment
is suitable for that customer before recommending an investment to a customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities
to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial
status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is
a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements
make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy
and sell our shares of Common Stock, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares of Common Stock, and thereby depress our price
per share of Common Stock.
BECAUSE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS CURRENTLY AND
FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROL ILST, IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ELECT DIRECTORS OR HAVE ANY SAY IN
THE POLICIES OF ILST. Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, the election of directors and
all other matters requiring shareholder approval will be decided by majority vote. ILST Holdco LLC, owns all of the outstanding shares
of our Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock. ILST Holdco LLC is managed by a director of the Company. The Special 2021 Series A Preferred
Stock has the following voting rights: the shares of Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the shares of our
common stock and other voting securities as a single class and shall represent 60% of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or
special meeting of our shareholders. Therefore, ILST Holdco LLC will be able to control the management and affairs of our company, as
well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of
all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. (See “Security Ownership
of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).
A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR SHARES WILL BE
ELIGIBLE FOR SALE AND THEIR SALE OR POTENTIAL SALE MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE. As additional shares of our
Common Stock become available for resale in the public market pursuant to this offering, and otherwise, the supply of our Common Stock
will increase, which could decrease its price. If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell
for various reasons, substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued in connection with the exercise
of outstanding options or warrants, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common
Stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable
or appropriate.
FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, OR THE PERCEPTION
IN THE PUBLIC MARKETS THAT THESE SALES MAY OCCUR, COULD REDUCE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. In general, our officers and
directors and major shareholders, as affiliates, under Rule 144 may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding
shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. The availability
for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise could reduce prevailing market prices for our common
stock.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S COMMON
STOCK IS EXTREMELY SPECULATIVE AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE OF ANY RETURN ON ANY SUCH INVESTMENT. Our Common Stock is currently
quoted on the OTC Pink Tier 1 maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “ILST”; however, an investment in the
Company’s Common Stock is extremely speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment.
Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.
The market price of our Common Stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results,
general trends in the market and other factors, many of which we have little or no control over. In addition, broad market fluctuations,
as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our Common Stock, regardless of our
actual or projected performance.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A LISTING OF
OUR COMMON STOCK. To maintain our listing on the OTCPNK exchange, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain
such listing. If we violate the maintenance requirements for continued listing of our Common Stock, our Common Stock may be delisted.
In addition, our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits
of such listing. A delisting of our Common Stock from the OTCPNK Market may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy
and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our
Common Stock. In addition, in order to maintain our listing, we will be required to, among other things, file our regular quarterly reports
on otcmarkets.com. The post-qualification amendment of the Offering Statement is subject to review by the SEC, and there is no guarantee
that such amendment will be qualified promptly after filing. Any delay in the qualification of the post-qualification amendment may cause
a delay in the trading of offering Shares. For all of the foregoing reasons, you may experience a delay between the closing of your purchase
of shares of our Common Stock and the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock. In addition, the delisting of our Common
Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital.
WE DO NOT EXPECT TO DECLARE OR PAY DIVIDENDS
IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will
invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our Common Stock will not receive any return
on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.
OUR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL
CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON US. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal
controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely
impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment
of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls
over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that
need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls
over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment
of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.
MANAGEMENT DISCRETION AS TO THE ACTUAL USE
OF THE PROCEEDS DERIVED FROM THIS OFFERING. The net proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under “Use
of Proceeds.” However, we reserve the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently
contemplated which we deem to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders in order to address changed circumstances
or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the Board
of Directors with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors who purchase our Common Stock
will be entrusting their funds to our Board of Directors, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend.
GENERAL SECURITIES INVESTMENT RISKS. All
investments in securities involve the risk of loss of capital. No guarantee or representation is made that an investor will receive a
return of its capital. The value of our Common Stock can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including development problems,
regulatory issues, technical issues, commercial challenges, competition, legislation, government intervention, industry developments
and trends, and general business and economic conditions.
MULTIPLE SECURITIES OFFERINGS AND POTENTIAL
FOR INTEGRATION OF OUR OFFERINGS. We are currently and will in the future be involved in one or more additional offers of our securities
in other unrelated securities offerings. Any two or more securities offerings undertaken by us could be found by the SEC, or a state
securities regulator, agency, to be “integrated” and therefore constitute a single offering of securities, which finding
could lead to a disallowance of certain exemptions from registration for the sale of our securities in such other securities offerings.
Such a finding could result in disallowance of one or more of our exemptions from registration, which could give rise to various legal
actions on behalf of a federal or state regulatory agency and the Company.
THE OFFERING IS NOT REVIEWED BY INDEPENDENT
PROFESSIONALS. We have not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the
interest of the investors hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made,
on behalf of the investors, any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes
of making a decision to purchase our Common Stock, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective
investors are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our
Common Stock.
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL SELL ANY
SPECIFIC NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES IN THIS OFFERING. There is no minimum offering and no commitment by anyone to purchase all or any
part of the Units offered hereby and, consequently, we can give no assurance that all of the Units shares in this Offering will be sold.
Additionally, there is no underwriter for this Offering; therefore, you will not have the benefit of an underwriter’s due diligence
efforts that would typically include the underwriter being involved in the preparation of this Offering Circular and the pricing of our
Units offered hereunder. Therefore, there can be no assurance that this Offering will be successful or that we will raise enough capital
from this Offering to further our development and business activities in a meaningful manner. Finally, prospective investors should be
aware that we reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify this Offering at any time without notice, to reject any subscription in
whole or in part, or to allot to any prospective purchaser fewer Units than the number for which he or she subscribed.
INVESTORS WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL
DILUTION IN THE BOOK VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT, AND WILL EXPERIENCE ADDITIONAL DILUTION IN THE FUTURE. If you purchase our Common
Stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution because the price you pay will be substantially greater
than the net tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire. Since we will require funds in addition to the proceeds of this
Offering to conduct our planned business, we will raise such additional funds, to the extent not generated internally from operations,
by issuing additional equity and/or debt securities, resulting in further dilution to our existing stockholders (including purchasers
of our Common Stock in this Offering).
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MEET OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS FROM CAPITAL RAISED BY THIS OFFERING. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not
limited to the rate and success of our development efforts, marketing efforts, market acceptance of our products and services and other
related services, our ability to establish and maintain our agreements with the services currently operating, our ability to maintain
and expand our user base, the rate of expansion of our user community, the level of resources required to develop and operate our products
and services, information systems and research and development activities, the availability of software and services provided by third-party
vendors and other factors. The capital requirements relating to further acquisitions and the continued and expanding operations of our
business segments will be significant. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of such capital requirements. However, we are
dependent on the proceeds of this Offering as well as additional financing that will be required in order to operate our business segments
and execute on our business plans. However, in the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or
if the proceeds of this Offering prove to be insufficient to operate our business segments, we would be required to seek additional financing
sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable
terms, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders (including
those purchasing shares pursuant to this Offering), and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with respect
to dividends, raising future capital and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as
and when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated business plans, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
THE PREPARATION OF OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INVOLVES THE USE OF ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS, AND OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY BE MATERIALLY AFFECTED IF SUCH ESTIMATES,
JUDGEMENTS OR ASSUMPTIONS PROVE TO BE INACCURATE. Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material
effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time.
These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the
risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could
harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments
and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.
IF SECURITIES INDUSTRY ANALYSTS DO NOT PUBLISH
RESEARCH REPORTS ON US, OR PUBLISH UNFAVORABLE REPORTS ON US, THEN THE MARKET PRICE AND MARKET TRADING VOLUME OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD
BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED. Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities
industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts.
If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively
affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on
us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
OUR MANAGEMENT HAS BROAD DISCRETION AS TO
THE USE OF CERTAIN OF THE NET PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING. We intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this Offering
(if we sell all of the shares being offered) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with
certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated
for use as working capital or for other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management
with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that
holders of our Common Stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management
to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in
a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more
information.
The foregoing risk factors are not to be
considered a definitive list of all the risks associated with an investment in our Offered Units. This Offering Circular contains forward-looking
statements that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections about our business, our industry, and
the industry of our clients. When used in this Offering Circular, the words “expects,” anticipates,” “estimates,”
“intends,” “believes” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The cautionary
statements made in this Offering Circular should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they
appear in this Offering Circular.
DILUTION
If you purchase Units in this offering, your
ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged
for each share in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering.
Our historical net book value (deficit) as of
December 31, 2023, is ($0.00) per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock. Historical net tangible book value per share equals
the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding,
all as of the date specified.
The following table illustrates the per share
dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the shares offered for sale
in this offering:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares are being offered by us on a “best-efforts”
basis by our officers, directors, and employees, and possibly with the assistance of independent consultants, and finders. As of the
date of this Offering Circular, unless otherwise permitted by applicable law, we do not intend to accept subscriptions from investors
in this Offering who reside in certain states, unless and until the Company has complied with each such states’ registration and/or
qualification requirements.
There is no aggregate minimum to be raised for
the Offering to become effective and therefore the Offering will be conducted on a “rolling basis.” This means we
will be entitled to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, offering
expenses, reimbursements, and other uses as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds”
contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
We may pay finder’s fees to persons who
refer investors to us. We may also pay consulting fees to consultants who assist us with the Offering, based on invoices submitted by
them for advisory services rendered. Consulting compensation, and finder’s fees may be paid in cash, Common Stock, or warrants
to purchase our Common Stock. We may also issue shares and grant stock options or warrants to purchase our Common Stock to finders and
consultants and reimburse them for due diligence and marketing costs on an accountable or non-accountable basis.
We have not entered selling agreements with any
broker-dealers to date, though we may engage a FINRA registered broker-dealer firm for offering administrative services. Participating
broker-dealers, if any, and others may be indemnified by us with respect to this offering and the disclosures made in this Offering Circular.
Offering Period and Expiration Date

Electronically receive,

|
2. |
Deliver funds directly
by wire or electronic funds transfer via ACH to the Company’s bank account designated in the Company’s subscription agreement. |
Any potential investor will have ample time to
review the subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. We shall only deliver such
subscription agreement upon request after a potential investor has had ample opportunity to review this Offering Circular.
Minimum Purchase Requirements
The minimum investment amount is fifty thousand
Dollars ($50,000.00).
Right to Reject Subscriptions
After we receive your complete, executed subscription
agreement and the funds required under the subscription agreement have been transferred to our designated account, we have the right
to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. We will return all monies from
rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.
Acceptance of Subscriptions
Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement,
we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the shares subscribed at closing. Once you submit the subscription agreement
and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements
are irrevocable.
Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, non-accredited,
investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s
revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds,
which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your
net worth).
For the purposes of calculating your net worth,
it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence
and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In
the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or
by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the shares.
In order to purchase shares and prior to the
acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to the company’s satisfaction, that he is
either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.
Forum Selection Provision
The subscription agreement includes a forum selection
provision that requires that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subscribers bring any claims against the Company based
on the subscription agreement in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware. The forum selection provision
may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in a judicial forum that they believe is favorable to such disputes and may discourage
lawsuits with respect to such claims. The Company has adopted the provision since Delaware has a well-developed framework for contract
law and seeks to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management
team, this provision allows our officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue
to focus on operations of the company. The foregoing notwithstanding, if there is an applicable law that does not permit such forum selection
(e.g., the Exchange Act or the Securities Act), then the forum selection provision would not be permissible and, therefore, not applicable.
We hereby confirm that the forum selection provision in our subscription agreement does not apply to federal securities law claims.
State Law Exemptions
This Offering Circular does not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any Shares in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would
be unlawful to do so. An investment in the Shares involves substantial risks and possible loss by investors of their entire investments
(See “Risk Factors”).
The Shares have not been qualified under the
securities laws of any state or jurisdiction. However, in the case of each state in which we sell the Shares, we may qualify the Shares
for sale with the applicable state securities regulatory body or we will sell the Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration found
in the applicable state’s securities, or Blue Sky, law.
Investor Suitability Standards
The
Units may only be purchased by investors residing in a state in which this Offering Circular
is duly qualified or where such qualification is not required, and who have the financial
capacity to hold the investment for an indefinite amount of time.
Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, non-accredited,
non-natural investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the
greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). A non-accredited, natural
person may only invest funds which do not exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth
(please see below on how to calculate your net worth).
NOTE: For the purposes of calculating
your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of
your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your
primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary
of the account or by the fiduciary if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.
In order to purchase our Common Stock shares
and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction,
that he is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the Ten Percent (10%) of net worth or annual income limitation on investment
in this Offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description summarizes certain
terms of our capital stock, as in effect upon the completion of this offering. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all
the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this section you should refer to
our amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) and bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the Offering
Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of Nevada law.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 6,000,000,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, 50 shares of
which have been designated Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock and 168,000 shares of which have been designated Preferred Shares Class
B.
As of the date of this Offering Circular, there were
1,936,364,391 shares of Common Stock outstanding, 50 shares of Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, and 72,477 of Preferred
Shares Class B outstanding.
Common Stock
The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions
associated with our Common Stock.
Each share of Common Stock has one (1) vote per
share for all purposes. Our Common Stock does not provide preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions or rights. Holders of shares of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting for electing members of the
Board. Please refer to the Company’s Articles, bylaws, and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description
of the rights and liabilities of holders of the company’s securities.
Preferred Stock
The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions
associated with our Preferred Stock.
Pursuant to our Articles, the Board is empowered

resolution. Our Board may designate the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock, including dividend rights,
conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms, and the number of shares constituting
any series or the designation of any series. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends on our Common
Stock, diluting the voting power of our Common Stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our Common Stock, or delaying, deterring, or
preventing a change in control. Such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our Common Stock.
The
Company has two classes of Preferred Shares: Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock, and Series
B Preferred Stock.
Our Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock entitles
the holder thereof to 60% of all votes entitled to vote at each meeting of stockholders of the Company with respect to any and all matters
presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration. Each share of the Company’s Special 2021 Series

a Director of the Company, is the Manager of ILST Holdco LLC, will, therefore, be able to control the management and affairs of our company,
as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale
of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. (See “Risk Factors—Risks

shall have been initiated or threatened by the SEC or any other Governmental Authority, or (b) a period of at least one year has elapsed

The note was issued with an original issue discount of $75,000, for gross proceeds of $550,000,
to be advanced in one or more tranches, with the original issue discount applied on a pro

accrued $143,951 in interest on the Note.

THE BUSINESS
History and Overview
International Star, Inc. was incorporated in
Nevada in October 1993 (referred to herein as "the Company"). The Company operation was historically focused on exploration
of mining claims and mining properties. After abandoning its business and having its charter revoked by the State of Nevada, a shareholder
filed a petition for custodianship, with the District Court, Clark County, Nevada, on May 25, 2021. On June 03, 2021, the shareholder
was appointed as the custodian of the Company. The Company’s Nevada charter was reinstated on June 4, 2021, and all required reports
were filed with the State of Nevada soon after.
In June 2022, a controlling stake in International
Star was acquired by ILST Holdco LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.
On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into a transaction
to acquire Budding Equity, Inc., (The “Acquiree” or “Budding”) a Canadian company that partners with movie studios
and celebrities to monetize their intellectual property (IP) in the burgeoning global cannabis industry, using best in class manufacturers
and distributors. The Company closed on an initial interest of 6% in the common stock of Budding and secured an option to acquire the
remaining 94% within 12 months (the “Transaction”). Under the terms of the Transaction, the Company provided Budding with
a senior secured loan of up to approximately $545,000 to expand inventory and spur sales growth (the “Loan to Budding”),
and the Company would receive 1% of the common stock of Budding for each $50,000 advanced under the Loan to Budding, up to 10%. Upon
the closing of the Transaction, the Company advanced $300,000 to Budding and acquired 6% of Budding’s common stock. On November
9, 2022, the Company advanced an additional $75,000 pursuant to the Loan to Budding and acquired an additional 1.5% of Budding’s
common stock, bringing its total interest in the common stock of Budding to 7.5%.
On February 14, 2023, the “Company” completed
its acquisition of Budding (the “Acquisition”), and the Company became the sole owner of all of Budding’s outstanding
shares, making Budding the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. As of February 14, 2023, upon the completion of the Acquisition,
the Company ceased to be a shell company. With the Budding acquisition, the Company is now operating an established cannabis royalty
business with significant licensing agreements in place. This business generates royalty revenues from both the sale of celebrity cannabis
strains (in multiple states) as well as licensed and branded cannabis-related hardware.
Prior to the closing of the Acquisition, the Company
owned 7.5% of the common stock of Budding. Under the terms of the Acquisition, the Company acquired the remaining 92.5% of the common
stock of Budding by issuing a Promissory Note in the amount of $1,094,000 with a zero percent interest rate (0%). On the date of Acquisition,
the Company also assumed $50,996 in net liabilities, resulting in total purchase consideration and goodwill of $1,141,666. As of March
31, 2023, the Company fully impaired the goodwill of $1,144,996 resulting in an impairment charge of the same amount on its Consolidated
Statements of Operations. At the time of the closing of the Acquisition, the Loan to Budding was terminated and the related indebtedness
deemed to be satisfied in full.
Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company paid
down the $1,094,000 Promissory Note by issuing 58,200 Preferred B shares valued at $582,000, and by paying $158,857 in cash during the
three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made additional payments of $176,571 against
the Promissory Note.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023,
the Company made an additional payment of $120,000 against the Promissory Note reducing the outstanding balance due to $56,571. On September
22, 2023, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement (“Modification”) with the Sellers of Budding to reduce the balance
due on the Promissory Note from $56,571 to $0, and for the sellers to return 5,723 shares of Preferred B shares they had received valued
at $57,230. The Modification arose as a result of the Company receiving assets with a lower value than originally forecast. The total
value of the Modification to the Company amounted to $113,801 and reduced the impairment of goodwill to $1,044,577.
Budding is a Canadian company established in
2015 and has since become a notable player in the cannabis industry. With a focus on licensing cannabis-related intellectual property
(IP), its most significant achievements lie in its joint venture (JV) partnerships with high-profile celebrities, Ice Cube and Kevin
Smith.
The JV partnerships with Ice Cube and Kevin Smith
have provided Budding Equity with a unique advantage in the market. These partnerships allow Budding Equity to leverage the brands created
by these celebrities. From hardware to smokeable products, Budding Equity capitalizes on the popularity and recognition of these brands
to generate continuous and growing royalty revenue.
By licensing out the brands Ice Cube and Kevin
Smith created, Budding Equity taps into their established fan bases and extends their influence into the cannabis industry. This strategic
approach drives revenue, fosters brand loyalty, and creates a competitive edge in the market.
One of the critical strengths of Budding Equity's
business model lies in generating royalty revenue, which means we are separated from and mitigate risks related to manufacturing costs
and state-by-state license requirements. As consumers purchase the licensed products, Budding Equity earns royalties on each sale, establishing
a recurring revenue stream.
Budding currently generates royalties via sales
in two segments: royalty revenue generated from celebrity cannabis strains (the “Cannabis Segment”) that are sold across
several US states, and royalty revenue generated by sales of licensed and branded hardware (the “Hardware Segment”).
Budding’s IP portfolio encompasses Ice
Cube's “Good Day” and “Fryday” cannabis lines, Kevin Smith's “Snoogens,” “Berzerker”
and “Snoochie Boochies” offerings, “Jay and Silent Bob” accessories, and licensing collaborations with Paramount's
“Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke” and “Trailer Park Boys.” In addition, during 2023, the Company made two film-related
investments, in a film project with the working title, “All My Friends Are Dead” and in a production company, “B Studios,”
for a combined aggregate investment of $285,000. All My Friends Are Dead, scheduled for nationwide release in late 2024, is a movie starring
Jojo Siwa and Jade Pettyjohn, directed by Marcus Dunstan, writer of Saw 3D. Included in the negotiated production deal terms, Budding
will be granted international royalty rights to certain IP of the film, including but not limited to all cannabis-related products. This
will allow us to create and market new products included in the film’s script for retail purchase. We believe that this model can
be replicated with other film production companies as they develop projects that are “cannabis-culture” related. The investment
also entitles us to profits from global sales and distribution of the film, including royalties on future film sales.

analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations,
whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated
in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk

Basis of Presentation
Effective February 14, 2023, our company acquired
Budding Equity, Inc., an Ontario, Canada, corporation (“Budding”), that partners with movie studios and celebrities to monetize
their intellectual property (IP) in the global cannabis industry, using best in class manufacturers and distributors.
Until our acquisition of Budding, our company
identified itself as a “shell company.” Effective with our acquisition of Budding on February 14, 2023, our company ceased
to be a “shell company.”
Because our company was a “shell company”
for several years prior to February 14, 2023, the date we acquired Budding, this section presents information concerning Budding for
the periods and as of the dates indicated. This information includes Budding’s financial results, as well as narrative descriptions
thereof. In addition, where appropriate, this section presents pro forma financial information, which assumes our company’s acquisition
of Budding had occurred on certain prior dates, as indicated.
Results of Operations
Our Company – Years Ended December
31, 2023 and 2022. During 2022, the Company began the process of becoming an operating company culminated by the acquisition
of Budding in February 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred operating expenses of $2,285,744 (unaudited), including
impairment of goodwill in the amount of $1,044,577 and total other expenses of $126,053 (unaudited), resulting in a net loss of $1,933,403
(unaudited). For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred operating expenses of $97,795 (unaudited), and total other expenses of
$248,405 (unaudited), resulting in a net loss of $346,200 (unaudited).
Budding – Years Ended December 31,
2022 and 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Budding generated revenues of $506,371 (unaudited), incurred operating
expenses of $614,225 (unaudited) and total other income of $3,752 (unaudited), with a net loss of $104,102 (unaudited). During the year
ended December 31, 2021, Budding generated revenues of $150,590 (unaudited), incurred operating expenses of $196,300 (unaudited) and
total other expenses of $62,894 (unaudited), with a net loss of $108,603 (unaudited).
Year Ended December 31, 2022, Pro Forma.
On a combined basis during the year ended December 31, 2022, our company and Budding generated $506,371 (unaudited) in revenues and experienced
a net loss of $1,642,389 (unaudited), including a loss of $1,192,087 (unaudited) to record the impairment of goodwill as if the acquisition
of Budding had occurred at the beginning of the 2022 year.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
In General. We believe that the
proceeds of this offering will satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months, including but not limited to acquisition financing
and working capital for our target acquisitions and our company. To continue expanding operations and finance future acquisitions, we
may need to raise additional funds in the next twelve months if our growth cannot be sustained by the revenue generated from increased
sales.
Over the coming 12 months, we intend to grow
the cashflows of Budding Equity by supporting new licensing and royalty opportunities and expanding existing product offerings within
the current licensing and JV partnerships. The proceeds of this offering will be used to pay down debt, and to cover working capital
requirements. We intend to utilize additional monies raised through this offering to complete an audit of the Company’s financial
statements to prepare for a potential uplisting transaction. We are also pursuing new acquisition opportunities synergistic with our
growth, and additional capital raised from this offering will be used to support those acquisitions. We plan to raise additional required
funding when required through the sale of debt or equity, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold,
cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, it may hurt our ability
to grow and to generate future revenues.
Cost of revenue. We anticipate that
the cost of revenue will consist primarily of expenses associated with the delivery and distribution of our services and products. These
include expenses related to purchasing equipment, colocation, marketing, providing products and services and salaries and benefits for
employees on our operations teams.
Research and Development. We are
not currently engaged in any formal R&D and do not have any plans to allocate money toward R&D in the next 12 months.
Marketing and Sales. To
grow our product reach and consumer base of our incoming businesses, we anticipate that we will need to invest in marketing and sales
which will consist of hiring third party contractors who have a track record of performing and boosting sales. Furthermore, we may increase
salaries, and benefits for our employees engaged in sales, sales support, marketing, business development, operations, and customer service
functions. Our marketing and sales expenses also include marketing and promotional expenditures.
General
and Administrative. The majority of our general and administrative expenses will
consist of salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for certain of our executives
as well as our legal, finance, human resources, corporate communications and policy employees,
and other administrative employees. In addition, general and administrative expenses include
professional and legal services. We expect to incur substantial expenses in marketing this
offering, in marketing our new products, and expanding existing product offerings within
the current licensing and JV partnerships and the availability of our products.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our Company –
December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, our company possessed $16,744 (unaudited) of cash and had a working capital deficit
of $362,559 (unaudited) compared to $9,027 (unaudited) of cash and a working capital deficit of $23,779 (unaudited) at December 31, 2022.
We must obtain additional
capital from third parties, including in this offering, to implement our full business plans. There is no assurance that we will be successful
in obtaining such additional capital, including through this offering.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the ordinary course of our business, we are
not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may
otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our significant estimates and assumptions
include the fair value of our common stock, stock-based compensation, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the
valuation allowance relating to our deferred tax assets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the
financial statements are issued, which may result in losses to us, but are of the nature such that they will only be resolved when one
or more future events occur or fails to occur. Our management, in consultation with our legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent
liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings
that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluate
the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or
expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and
the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment
indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated,
then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would
be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees
would be disclosed.

Indemnification Agreements
Our directors and officers are indemnified as

Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we
have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses
incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of
our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

INTERNATIONAL STAR, INC.
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
International Star, Inc. was incorporated in
Nevada in October 1993 (referred to herein as "the Company"). Historically, the Company’s business operations were primarily
focused on exploration of mining claims and mining properties. In June 2022, a controlling stake in International Star was acquired by
ILST Holdco LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Under its new management, the Company’s
strategic objective is to acquire, merge with and build revenue and cash flow producing companies in order to create successful and financially
robust enterprises which would consistently create and build stakeholders’ value.
On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into
a transaction to acquire Budding Equity, Inc. (“BEi”) a Canadian company that partners with movie studios and celebrities
to monetize their intellectual property (IP) in the burgeoning global cannabis industry, using best in class manufacturers and distributors.
On or about February 14, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of BEi. As a result, IST became the sole owner of all of BEi’s
outstanding shares, making BEi the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
The Company has a fiscal year end of December
31 and is listed on the OTC Pink Markets under the trading symbol ILST. Prior to the Company’s acquisition by ILST Holdco LLC,
the Company had abandoned its business and failed to take steps to dissolve, liquidate and distribute its assets. It had also failed
to meet the required reporting requirements with the Nevada Secretary of State, hold an annual meeting of stockholders and pay its annual
franchise tax from 2015 to 2021 which resulted in its Nevada charter being revoked. The Company also failed to provide adequate current
public information as defined in Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, and was thus subject to revocation by the Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act. On May 25, 2021, a shareholder filed a petition for custodianship,
with the District Court, Clark County, Nevada and was appointed as the custodian of the Company on June 3, 2021. The Company’s
Nevada charter was reinstated on June 4, 2021, and all required reports were filed with the State of Nevada shortly thereafter.
The Company remains active as of the date of
this report and provides adequate current public information to meet the requirements under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company incurred operating losses in previous
years, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $6,419,202 on December 31, 2022. By November 8, 2013, the Company filed Form 15-12G with
the SEC to terminate its reporting obligations under the 1934 Act. After their December 31, 2015 quarterly reports of December 31, 2015,
the Company stopped all forms of making public reports of its operation and financial results.
On April 22, 2021, Alpharidge Capital, LLC, a
shareholder of the Company, served a demand to the Company, at its last address of record, to comply with the Nevada Secretary of State
statues N.R.S. 78.710 and N.R.S. 78.150. On May 25, 2021, a petition was filed against the Company in the District Court of Clark County,
Nevada, entitled “In the Matter of International Star, Inc., a Nevada corporation” under case number A-21-835183-P by Alpharidge
Capital, LLC, along with an Application for Appointment of Custodian, after several attempts to have prior management reinstate the Company’s
Nevada charter, which had been revoked.
On June 03, 2021, the District Court of Clark
County, Nevada entered an Order Granting Application for Appointment of Alpharidge Capital, LLC (the “Order”), as Custodian
of the Company. Pursuant to the Order, Alpharidge Capital, LLC (the “Custodian”) had the authority to take reasonable and
prudent actions on behalf of the Company including, but not limited to, issuing shares of stock, and issuing new classes of stock, as
well as entering in contracts on behalf of the Company. In addition, the Custodian, pursuant to the Order, was required to meet the requirements
under the Nevada charter.
On June 11, 2021, pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement (SPA) the Custodian granted to Community Economic Development Capital, LLC. (“CED Capital”), 50 Series A preferred
shares (convertible at 1 into 200,000,000 common shares, and having voting rights of 60% of all votes) in exchange for $35,000 which
the Company used to fund the reinstatement of the Company with the State of Nevada, which included the settlement of the Stock Transfer
Agent’s balance. CED Capital also undertook to make all reasonable efforts to provide adequate current public information to meet
the requirements under the Securities Act of 1933.
On June 15, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate
of Revival with the Secretary State of the State of Nevada, which reinstated the Company’s charter and appointed a new Resident
Agent in Nevada.
On June 16, 2021, the Custodian appointed Ambrose
O Egbuonu, who is associated with Alpharidge Capital, LLC., as the Company’s president, CEO, secretary, treasurer, and director.
On December 9, 2021, the District Court of Clark
County, Nevada entered an Order Granting Alpharidge Capital’s motion to terminate custodianship.
On April 15, 2022, Mr. Ambrose Egbuonu resigned
from the position of director of the Company.
On July 20, 2021, the preferred shares were transferred
to Caren D. Currier for $75,000 paid in cash. Subsequently, Caren D Currier was elected as President, CEO, secretary, treasurer, and
director of the Company. The holder of the 50 Series A preferred shares has control of the Company through 60% voting rights over all
classes of stock and the 50 Series A preferred shares are convertible into 10,000,000,000 (50 Series A preferred shares multiplied by
200,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequently, on or about June 10, 2022, ILST Holdco LLC, through a private
transaction, acquired the 50 Series A preferred shares from Caren Currier.
The shares of Special 2021 Series A Preferred
Stock are convertible into 10,000,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, with each such share having one vote.
Following the election of Caren D. Currier as
President, CEO, secretary and treasurer of the Company, Mr. Ambrose Egbuonu resigned from the position of President, CEO, secretary,
and treasurer of the Company.
On February 14, 2023, the Company completed its
acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Budding Equity Inc. (“BEi”), and the Company is now the sole owner of all
of BEi’s outstanding shares, making BEi the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. As of February 14, 2023, upon the completion
of the Acquisition, the Company believes that it has ceased to be a shell company,” With the BEi acquisition, the Company is now
operating an established cannabis royalty business with significant licensing agreements in place. This business generates royalty revenues
from both the sale of celebrity cannabis strains (in multiple states) as well as licensed and branded cannabis-related hardware.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND
GOING CONCERN
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation
of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8,653,481 and $294,997
in cash used in operating activities The Company cannot be certain that it will be successful even if it obtains outside funding. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
cash equivalents include demand deposits, money market funds, and all highly liquid debt instructions with original maturities of three
months or less.
Financial Instruments
The FASB issued ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures, for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded
disclosures regarding fair value measurements.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that
would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market
in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which
requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required
by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
–
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
– Level
2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that
are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term
of the related assets or liabilities.
–
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities.
Concentrations and Credit Risks
The Company’s financial instruments that
are exposed to concentrations and credit risk primarily consist of its cash, sales, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash
and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular
financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial
strength and creditworthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures
are limited.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounts of the Company are accounted for
in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Statements No. 52 (“SFAS 52”), “Foreign Currency Translation”.
The financial statements of the Company are translated into US dollars as follows: assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates;
income, expenses, and cash flows at average exchange rates; and shareholders’ equity at historical exchange rates.
Monetary assets and liabilities, and the related
revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, of the Company are re- measured at year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities,
and the related revenue, expense, gain, and loss accounts are re-measured at historical rates. Adjustments which result from the re-measurement
of the assets and liabilities of the Company are included in net income.
Share-Based Compensation
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation,
prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions
include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership
plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as
compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized in the period of grant.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.
Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable:
(a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined
at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively,
there was $-0- and $-0- of recognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted. There have been no
options granted during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC
740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.
A valuation allowance is provided for certain
deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. Deferred tax
assets or liabilities were offset by a 100% valuation allowance, therefore there has been no recognized benefit as of December 31, 2023
and 2022, respectively. Further it is unlikely with the change of control that the Company will have the ability to realize any future
tax benefits that may exist.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies,
to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties
and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably
estimated.
Earnings Per Share
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in
accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The weighted- average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to
compute basic earnings or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based
on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Due to net operating
loss, there is no presentation of dilutive earnings per share, as it would be anti-dilutive.
Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements
that will have a material impact on the Company.
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS
During the three months ending March 31, 2023,
the Company invested $200,000 in a film project. An additional $85,000 was invested in another film project in the months ending September
30, 2023. The balance outstanding of investments was $285,000 as of December 31, 2023.
NOTE 5 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION, PROMISSORY
NOTE ACQUISITION
On February 14, 2023, the “Company”
completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Budding Equity Inc. (“BEi”), and the Company is now the sole
owner of all of BEi’s outstanding shares, making BEi the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. As of February 14, 2023, upon
the completion of the Acquisition, the Company believes that it has ceased to be a “shell company.” With the BEi acquisition,
the Company is now operating an established cannabis royalty business with significant licensing agreements in place. This business generates
royalty revenues from both the sale of celebrity cannabis strains (in multiple states) as well as licensed and branded cannabis-related
hardware.
The Company had previously acquired 7.5% of the
common stock of BEi. Under the terms of the Acquisition the Company acquired the remaining 92.5% of the common stock of BEi by issuing
a Promissory Note in the amount of $1,094,000 with a zero percent interest rate (0%). On the date of acquisition, the Company also assumed
$47,666 in net liabilities, resulting in total purchase consideration and goodwill of $1,144,996. As of March 31, 2023, the Company fully
impaired the goodwill of $1,144,996 resulting in an impairment charge of the same amount on its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company paid
down the $1,094,000 Promissory Note by issuing 58,200 Preferred B shares valued at $582,000 -see Note 7 Equity, and by paying $158,857
in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 the Company made additional payments
of $176,571 against the Promissory Note.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023
the Company made an additional payment of $120,000 against the Promissory Note reducing the outstanding balance due to $56,571. On September
22, 2023 the Company entered into a Modification Agreement (“Modification”) with the Sellers of BEi to reduce the balance
due on the Promissory Note of $56,571 to $-0-, and for the sellers to return 5,723 shares of Preferred B shares they had received valued
at $57,230. These modification arose as a result of the Company receiving less assets than originally forecast. The total value of the
modification to the Company amounted to $113,801 and reducing the impairment of goodwill to $1,044,577.
NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On August 10, 2022, the Company issued a Senior
Secured Convertible Promissory Note to Leonite Fund I, LP, in the principal amount of up to $625,000 payable in tranches. The loan bears
interest at 12% per annum and each tranche matures 12 months following the advance date. All payments due under the Note are payable
at maturity. The Note is convertible into common shares at the option of the holder at a fixed price of $0.005 per share. The Note has
both conversion price protection and anti-dilution protection provisions. The Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company. During
the second and third quarters, the Company received an additional $400,000 in drawdowns from Leonite, net of discount. As of December
31, 2023, all note discount had been expensed to interest charges and the Convertible Note Balance amounted to $1,164,773.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued
$143,951 in interest on the Leonite convertible notes.
As additional consideration under the terms of
this Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, the Company issued warrants to Leonite which are exercisable for 62,500,000 Common Shares
of the Company. These warrants are exercisable for 60 Months, contain full-ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions, and have an exercise
price of $0.005. Using Black Scholes methodology, these warrants were valued at $312,500 and immediately expensed as a financing cost
during the year ended December 31, 2022.

BUDDING EQUITY INC.
NOTES
TO (UNAUDITED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Budding Equity is a Toronto,
Ontario company, established in 2015. Budding Equity is now operating an established cannabis royalty business with significant licensing
agreements in place. This business generates royalty revenues from both the sale of celebrity cannabis strains (in multiple states) as
well as licensed and branded cannabis-related hardware.
The Company has a fiscal
year end of December 31.
NOTE 2 – BASIS
OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
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 the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company currently has an accumulated deficit of $64,768 and
had a loss of $104,102 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company cannot be certain that it will be successful even if it obtains
outside funding. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement
of cash flows, cash equivalents include demand deposits, money market funds, and all highly liquid debt instructions with original maturities
of three months or less.
Financial Instruments
The FASB issued ASC 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value
and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received
for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an
entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the
standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
| · | Level
1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
| · | Level
2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets
or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related
assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant
to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Concentrations and Credit Risks
The Company’s financial
instruments that are exposed to concentrations and credit risk primarily consist of its cash, sales and accounts receivable. The Company
places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with
a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess
the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit
risk exposures are limited.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounts of the Company
are accounted for in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Statements No. 52 (“SFAS 52”), “Foreign
Currency Translation”. The financial statements of the Company are translated into US dollars as follows: assets and liabilities
at year-end exchange rates; income, expenses and cash flows at average exchange rates; and shareholders’ equity at historical exchange
rates.
Monetary assets and liabilities,
and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, of the Company are re- measured at year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets
and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts are re-measured at historical rates. Adjustments which result
from the re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of the Company are included in net income.
Share-Based Compensation
ASC 718, Compensation –
Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services
are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments
such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized
in the period of grant.
The Company accounts for
stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity – Based
Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever
is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based
payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
As of December 31, 2022
and 2021, respectively, there was $-0- and $-0- of recognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted.
There have been no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for
income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is
provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Deferred tax assets or liabilities were offset by a 100% valuation allowance, therefore there has been no recognized benefit as of December
31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Further it is unlikely with the change of control that the Company will have the ability to realize
any future tax benefits that may exist.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows ASC
450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments,
litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount
of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Earnings Per Share
Net income (loss) per share
is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period
is used to compute basic earnings or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number
of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be
exercised.
Basic net income (loss)
per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2021. Due to
net operating loss, there is no presentation of dilutive earnings per share because there are no diluted equivalents.
We do not believe any recently
issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.
NOTE 4 –
INVESTMENT
As of December 31, 2022
and December 31, 2021 the balance of investments was $89,528 and $85,603, respectively
NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE
RELATED PARTY
On August 24, 2022, the
Company entered into a transaction with International Star, Inc. (“ILST”) to sell a portion of its shares with the intention
of eventually selling the entire company to ILST. See Note 7. Subsequent Events. In connection with that transaction, the Company sold
two tranches of capital equal to 7 and 1/2 % of its outstanding shares, and issued two notes payable with a face value of $412,294. The
Company received $353,706 for these shares and notes receivable. As of December 31, 2022 the notes payable, net of discount, amounted
to $336,720.
NOTE 6 - EQUITY
Common
stock
The
Company has 1,000 shares of no par value common stock authorized. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 there were 1,000 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
On February 14, 2023, in
return for a promissory note of $1,094,000, and the cancellation of all indebtedness due to ILST, the remaining 92.5% of the Company
was sold to ILST. and became its wholly owned subsidiary.

the corporation’s stockholders holding not less than Two-Thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the corporation's issued and outstanding
stock, at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.
ARTICLE TWELFTH
AMENDMENT:
Except as otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation, the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation may be amended

Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) and the laws of the State of Nevada. |
| 1.02 | REGISTERED OFFICE & REGISTERED AGENT. Per NRS Section 78.090, the Board agrees that the Corporation’s
registered agent for service of process is located in the State of Nevada, as stated in the Articles. The Corporation may change its registered
agent by resolution of the Board and filing a statement with the Secretary of State setting forth the change. Pursuant to the NRS Section
78.105, the Board is obligated to maintain and update the corporate records on file with the Corporation’s registered agent. |

adopt a corporate seal with the form and inscription of their choosing. |
| 1.05 | PURPOSE. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.060, this Corporation is formed to engage
in any lawful business purpose. |
| 1.06 | ADOPTION OF BYLAWS. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.120, the Board has caused
the adoption of these corporate bylaws (“Bylaws”) on behalf of the Corporation. |
ARTICLE 2
Board of Directors
| 2.01 | INITIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD. Per NRS Section 78.070, the Board has conducted
and completed the initial organizational meeting of the Corporation. |
| 2.02 | POWERS AND NUMBERS. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.115 and 78.120, the management
of all the Corporation’s affairs, property, and interests shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Per NRS Section
78.115, the Board of the Corporation shall be comprised of the number of directors listed in the Articles, unless expressly altered by
these Bylaws. Consistent with NRS Section 78.115, the Board consists of at least one (1) natural person who need not be a shareholder
or resident of the State of Nevada. |
| 2.03 | VOTING; TIE-BREAKING VOTE BY CHAIRMAN.
Each member of the Board shall have one vote with respect to all matters which are before the Board for a vote. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, however, in the event of a tie vote of Directors in respect of any matter requiring the approval or authorization
of a majority of Directors, the Chairman of the Board shall have a tie-breaking vote (i.e., he or she shall be authorized hereby
to cast two votes) such that if he or she exercises such vote the matter will be approved or authorized, as applicable, by the Board of
Directors. |
| 2.04 | DIRECTOR LIABILITY. Each director is required, individually and collectively,
to act in good faith, with reasonable and prudent care, and in the best interest of the Corporation. If a director acts in accordance
with NRS Section 78.138, then they shall be immune from liability arising from official acts on behalf of the Corporation. Directors are
presumed to act in compliance with NRS Section 78.138. |
| 2.05 | CLASSES OF DIRECTORS. Until such time as the Articles may be accordingly
amended, the Corporation does not have multiple classes of directors. |
| 2.06 | CHANGE OF NUMBER. The number of directors may be changed at any time by
amendment of these Bylaws, pursuant to the process outlined in Article 10 of these Bylaws. A decrease in number does not have the effect
of shortening the term of any incumbent director. In the event the established number of directors is decreased, the directors shall hold
their positions until the next shareholder meeting occurs and new directors are elected and qualified. |
| 2.07 | ELECTION & REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.330, Directors
are to be voted on and elected at each annual shareholder meeting for a term of one (1) year. A director shall continue to hold office
until their successors are duly elected and qualified at the following annual shareholder meeting. If a director is elected, but is not
yet qualified to hold office, then the previous director shall hold over until such time that the newly elected director is so qualified.
One or more directors of the Board may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the corporation’s
stockholders holding not less than Two-Thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the corporation's issued and outstanding stock, at a meeting
of the stockholders called for that purpose. |
| 2.08 | VACANCIES. Per NRS Section 78.335, all vacancies in the Board may be
filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, provided that any such director who fills a vacancy
is qualified to be a director and shall only hold the office until a new director is elected by the shareholders at the next meeting
of the shareholders. Any director who fills a vacancy on the Board shall not be considered unqualified or disqualified solely by
virtue of being an interim director. Pursuant
to NRS Section 78.335, any director elected by the shareholders to fill a vacancy which results from the removal of a director shall serve
the remainder of the annual term of the removed director and until a successor is elected by the shareholders and qualified. The Board
may fill a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors for a term lasting until the next annual election of directors by
the shareholders at the annual meeting or a special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors. |
| 2.09 | REGULAR MEETINGS. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.310 and 78.315, the meetings
of the Board or any committee may be held at the Corporation’s principal office or at any other place (within or without the State
of Nevada) designated by the Board or its committee, including by means of remote communication which allows all persons participating
in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. The annual meeting of the Board will be held without notice immediately after the
adjournment of the annual meeting of shareholders. |
| 2.10 | SPECIAL MEETINGS. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.310 and 78.315, special meetings
of the Board may be held at any place (within or without the State of Nevada) and at any time, including by means of remote communication
which allows all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time, and may be called by the Chairman of the Board,
the President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasurer, or at least two (2) directors. Any special meeting of the Board must be preceded
by at least forty-eight (48) hours' notice of the date, time, place, and purpose of the meeting, unless these Bylaws require otherwise. |
| 2.10 | ACTION BY DIRECTORS WITHOUT A MEETING. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.315, any action which may be taken
at a meeting of the Board, or its committee, may be taken without a meeting, provided all directors or committee members unanimously
agree and sign a consent that sets forth the action taken taken by the Board. The signed consent is to be filed with the minutes of the
proceeding. |
| 2.11 | NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.325, the regular meetings
of the Board shall be held without notice of the date, time, place, or purpose of the meeting, provided the meeting of the Board follows
the adjournment of the annual shareholder meeting. Notice may be given personally, by facsimile, by mail, or in any other lawful manner,
so long as the method for notice comports with Article 8 of these Bylaws. Oral notification is sufficient only if a written record of
the notice is included in the Corporation's minute book. Notice is effective at the earliest of: |
| (a) | Receipt; |
| (b) | Delivery to the proper address or telephone number of the director(s) as shown in
the Corporation's records; or |
| (c) | Five (5) days after its deposit in the United States mail, as evidenced by the postmark,
if correctly addressed and mailed with first-class postage prepaid. |
| 2.12 | WAIVER OF NOTICE. Pursuant to NRS Section
78.325, a director waives the notice requirement if that director attends or participates in the meeting, unless a director attends for
the express purpose of promptly objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.
Under NRS Section 78.325, a director may waive notice by a signed writing, delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes
before or after the meeting. |
| 2.13 | QUORUM. Per NRS Section 78.315, a majority of the entire Board constitutes
a quorum, and a quorum is necessary at all meetings to constitute a quorum to transact business. |
| 2.14 | REGISTERING DISSENT. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.315, a director who is present
at a meeting at which an action on a corporate matter is taken is presumed to have assented to such action, unless the director expressly
dissents to the action. A valid dissent must be entered in the meeting’s minutes, filed with the meeting’s acting Secretary
before its adjournment, or forwarded by registered mail to the Corporation’s Secretary within twenty-four (24) hours after the meeting’s
adjournment. These options for dissent do not apply to a director who voted in favor of the action or failed to express such dissent at
the meeting. |
| 2.15 | EXECUTIVE AND OTHER COMMITTEES. Per NRS Section 78.125, the Board may create committees to
delegate certain powers to act on behalf of the Board, provided the Board passes a resolution indicating such creation or
delegation. Notwithstanding the power to create committees, no committee may issue stock, recommend shareholder actions, nor amend
these Bylaws. The Board may delegate to a committee the power to appoint directors to fill vacancies on the Board. All committees
must record regular minutes of their meetings and keep the minute book at the corporation’s office. The creation or
appointment of a committee does not relieve the Board or its members from their standard of care described in Section 2.03 of these
Bylaws or in NRS Section 78.138. |
| 2.16 | COMPENSATION. Consistent with NRS Section 78.120, the Board may adopt a resolution
which results in directors being paid a reasonable compensation for their services rendered as directors of the Corporation. Directors
may also be paid a fixed sum and expenses, if any, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of such Board. Nothing contained
in these Bylaws precludes a director from receiving compensation for serving the Corporation in any other capacity, including any services
rendered as an officer or employee. If the Board accordingly passes a resolution, then committee members may be allowed like compensation
for attending committee meetings. |
| 2.17 | INDEMNIFICATION. Provided the director complies with the standard of care
described in Section 2.03 of these Bylaws and NRS Section 78.138 and 78.300, the Corporation shall indemnify any director made a party
to a proceeding, brought or threatened, as a consequence of the director acting in their official capacity. In the event a director is
entitled to indemnification by the Corporation, the director shall be indemnified pursuant to the process outlined in NRS Section 78.7502
and 78.751. |
ARTICLE 3
Stock
| 3.01 | AUTHORITY TO ISSUE. Subject to NRS Section 78.196, 78.211, and 78.215 and
the Corporation’s Articles, the Corporation is authorized to issue any class of stock or securities convertible into stock of any
class. Before any stock of the Corporation may be issued, the Board must pass a resolution which authorizes the issuance, sets the minimum
consideration for the stock or security (or a formula to determine the minimum consideration), and fairly describes any non-monetary consideration. |
| 3.02 | RESTRICTIONS. Stock may only be issued in accordance with the Articles, and
through the process described in these Bylaws. Any issuance of stock in excess of the amount described in the Articles must be authorized
by the Board and approved by the affirmative vote by a majority of shareholders. Per NRS Section 78.242, any restriction on the transferability
of stock shall be fully furnished to the shareholder, upon shareholder request, and without any charge to the shareholder. Per NRS Section
78.242, any failure to furnish such information to the shareholder or a transferee without actual knowledge of the restriction renders
the restriction on stock transferability invalid or unenforceable. |
As provided in NRS Section 78.267,
no shareholder has a preemptive right to subscribe to any subsequent or additional issuance of stock.
| 3.03 | STOCK CERTIFICATES. Under NRS Section 78.235, shareholders are entitled
to stock certificates that certify the shares of the Corporation’s stock held by the shareholder. Notwithstanding the shareholders’
rights to stock certificates, the Board may authorize the issuance of some or all shares of any class or series of stock without certificates,
provided the Board shall provide to a shareholder a written statement that contains the information required to be on stock certificates,
per NRS Section 78.235. |
If an officer who has signed or
whose facsimile signature appears on any stock certificate ceases to be an officer before the certificate is issued to the shareholder,
it may be issued by the Corporation and is valid as if the person were an officer on the date of issuance. The certificate may be sealed
with the Corporation’s seal.
| 3.04 | MUTILATED, LOST, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. Per NRS Section 78.235, in the instance of any
mutilation, loss, or destruction of any stock certificate, another may be issued in its place on proof of such mutilation, loss or
destruction. The Board may impose conditions on such issuance and may require the giving of a satisfactory bond or indemnity to the
Corporation. The Board may establish other procedures as they deem necessary. |
| 3.05 | FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. Subject to NRS Section 78.205, the Corporation may: |
| (a) | Issue fractions of a share which entitle the holder to exercise voting rights,
to receive dividends, and to participate in any of the Corporation’s assets in the event of liquidation; |
| (b) | Arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto; |
| (c) | Pay the fair market value, in cash, of fractions of a share as of the time when
those entitled to receive such shares are determined; or |
| (d) | Issue scrip in a form which entitles the holder to receive a certificate for the
full share upon surrender of such scrip aggregating a full share. |
| 3.06 | TRANSFER. So long as there is no transferability restriction on the stock,
as described in Section 3.02 of these Bylaws, the stock of the Corporation is freely transferable. Transfers of stock must be made upon
the corporation’s stock transfer books. Stock transfer books shall be kept in the manner described in Article 7 of these Bylaws. |
Before a new certificate is issued,
the old certificate must be surrendered for cancellation. The Board may, by resolution, open a share register in any state of the United
States, and may employ an agent or agents to keep such register, and to record transfers or shares therein.
| 3.07 | REGISTERED OWNER. The Corporation shall recognize an individual as the registered
owner of a given stock, provided that individual is determined as the shareholder of record by the record date as set out in Section
4.07 of these Bylaws. Shareholders may agree to confer the right to vote or represent their stock to third parties, including trustees,
proxies, or fiduciaries. The Board may resolve to adopt a procedure by which a shareholder of the Corporation may certify in writing to
the Corporation that all or a portion of the stock registered in the shareholder’s name are held for the account of a specified
person or persons. The resolution must set forth: |
| (a) | The classification of shareholder who may certify; |
| (b) | The purpose or purposes for which the certification may be made; |
| (c) | The form of certification and information to be contained therein; |
| (d) | If the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the stock transfer
books, the date within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and |
| (e) | Other provisions with respect to the procedure as are deemed necessary or desirable. |
Upon receipt of a certification
complying with this procedure, the Corporation must treat the persons specified in the certification as the holders of record for the
number of shares specified in place of the shareholder making the certification.
| 3.08 | STOCK OWNED BY ENTITIES. Per NRS Section 78.352, stock held by another corporation
may be voted by that other corporation’s officer, agent, or proxy chosen by its board of directors, or, in the absence of such determination,
by the president of that other corporation. Per NRS Section 78.352, shares of stock in the Corporation held by a fiduciary of the named
shareholder may be voted or represented by the fiduciary. |
Subject to NRS Section 78.352,
the Corporation may vote or represent stock that it holds in itself, provided the Corporation holds such stock in a fiduciary capacity.
If the Corporation holds stock in itself in such a fiduciary capacity, then such stock shall be counted in determining the total number
of outstanding shares of stock at a given time.
ARTICLE 4
Shareholders' Meetings
| 4.01 | MEETING PLACE. Per NRS Section 78.310, all shareholder meetings must be held
at the Corporation’s principal office or other place, within or without the State of Nevada, predetermined by the Board. As permitted
by NRS Section 78.320, shareholders may participate in the meeting by means of virtual or remote conference, provided the participants
can hear each other in real time. |
| 4.02 | ANNUAL MEETING TIME. The annual shareholder meeting for the election of directors
and the transaction of such other business properly before the meeting, must be held each year on December 1st, at the hour of 10:00 AM
Pacific Time. If that date is a legal holiday, then the meeting must be held on the day following, at the same hour. Pursuant to NRS Section
78.310, failure to hold an annual meeting at the time stated in or fixed within these Bylaws does not affect the validity of any corporate
action. |
| 4.03 | SPECIAL MEETINGS. Per NRS Section 78.310, special shareholder meetings,
for any purpose, may be called at any time by the President, the Board, or the Secretary. |
| 4.04 | NOTICE. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.370, the Secretary shall cause notice
to be given to each shareholder of record at least ten (10) days, but no more than sixty (60) days, before the shareholders’ meeting.
Notice shall be by electronic transmission, mailing, or personal delivery, and shall state the time, place, and purpose of the meeting
(including instructions for how to virtually attend and participate). Notice is considered given to a shareholder when it is personally
provided to the shareholder, left at the shareholder’s residence or usual place of business, mailed to the shareholder’s address
of record, or by electronic transmission to the shareholder’s address or number of record on file with the Corporation. A single
notice can be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing the same address, unless the Corporation receives a request from a shareholder
that more than a single notice be delivered. |
Notice by electronic transmission
shall be considered ineffective if the Corporation is unable to deliver two (2) consecutive notices and the individual responsible for
sending notices to shareholders is made aware of the delivery failures. A shareholder meeting, and any actions taken by shareholders,
shall not be invalidated due to an inadvertent failure to deliver notice.
Per NRS Section 78.370 and Section
4.07 of these Bylaws, the notice must include the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such
date is different than the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting.
| 4.05 | WAIVER OF NOTICE. As stated in NRS Section 78.325 and 78.375, a shareholder
who is entitled to notice may waive the notice requirement if they provide a signed written waiver of the required notice, before or after
the stated meeting time, or the shareholder is present at the meeting in person or by proxy and fails to object to the holding of the
meeting or particular matter at the meeting outside the purpose described in the notice. |
| 4.06 | RECORD DATE. Consistent with NRS Section 78.350, at least ten (10) days
before each shareholder meeting, a complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting must be made and maintained in
the books and records of the Corporation. This list must be arranged in alphabetical order and include the address of and number of shares
of stock held by each shareholder. This record must be kept on file at the Corporation’s principal office for a period of ten (10)
days prior to the meeting. The records must also be kept open for inspection at shareholder meetings. |
| 4.07 | CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS AND FIXING RECORD DATE. Subject to NRS
Section 78.350, the Board may order the stock transfer books to be closed in order to determine which shareholders are entitled to notice of or to vote at any shareholder meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend. Instead of closing the stock transfer books, the Board may fix in advance a record date for determination of such shareholders. The record date must not be more than sixty (60) days or less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the meeting, adjournment, or payment. |
| 4.08 | SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY. Per NRS Section 78.225, shareholders are not liable
to the Corporation or its creditors, except that in the event the agreed upon price or consideration for the stock has not been fully
paid. In the event that a subscription price or consideration for stock has not been fully paid, the following people are not personally
liable for the unpaid balance: |
| (a) | a transferee or assignee who acquires the stock or subscription in good faith and without
knowledge or notice of the nonpayment; |
| (b) | a person who holds the stock as a fiduciary, although the estate in the hands of the
fiduciary is liable for the nonpayment; and |
| (c) | a pledgee or other person who holds stock as security. |
| 4.09 | VOTING RIGHTS. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.350, each outstanding share of stock
is entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a shareholder meeting, provided the voted or represented shares are
held in compliance with any payment plan, subscription, or stock purchase agreement. |
| 4.10 | PROXIES. As permitted by NRS Section 78.355, a shareholder may vote either
in person or by proxy, signed in writing by the shareholder or the shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in- fact. No proxy is
valid after eleven (11) months from the date signed, unless the proxy states otherwise. A proxy is revocable by a shareholder at any time,
unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest. |
| 4.11 | QUORUM. As provided in NRS Section 78.320, the presence, in person or by
proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the outstanding voting stock constitutes a quorum. If a quorum is present at
a shareholder meeting, then a majority of all the votes cast at the meeting is sufficient to approve any matter properly brought before
the meeting. |
| 4.12 | ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any
action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action,
a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power. In
no instance where action is authorized by written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called or notice given. |

Exhibit 6.1
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
OF THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR APPLICABLE
EXEMPTION OR SAFE HARBOR PROVISION.
COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT
INTERNATIONAL STAR, INC.
Warrant Shares: __________
Date of Issuance: ___________ (“Issuance
Date”)
This COMMON SHARE PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, __________________, including any permitted and registered
assigns, (each a “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase from International Star, Inc., a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), up to _____________ common shares (the “Warrant
Shares”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the
Exercise Price per share then in effect.
Capitalized terms used in
this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the body of this Warrant or in Section 12 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the
term “Exercise Price” shall mean $0.001,
subject to adjustment as provided herein (including but not limited to cashless exercise), and the term “Exercise Period”
shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 6:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the 5 year anniversary thereof.
1. EXERCISE
OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics
of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part
at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver
the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of
the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the third Trading Day (the “Warrant
Share Delivery Date”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the
Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to
which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price” and together with the Exercise
Notice, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless
exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue
and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s
share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to
such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become
the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery
of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant
Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise,
then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense,
issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately
prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.
If the Company fails to cause
its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective Common Shares by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder
will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion, and such failure shall be deemed an event of default under
this Warrant.
At any time after the Issuance
Date, the Market Price of one Common Share is greater than the Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares are not registered under an effective
non-stale registration statement of the Company, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu
of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised)
by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Shares computed
using the following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
A
| Where X= | the number of Shares to be issued to Holder. |
| Y = | the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such
calculation). |
| | |
| A = | the Market Price (at
the date of such calculation). |
| | |
| B = | Exercise Price (as
adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
(b) No
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant
hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining
whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance
of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction
a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.
(c) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable
Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the
Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below.
For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include
the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.
To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in
the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion
of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation
to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
For purposes of this paragraph,
in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A)
the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding.
Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding.
In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities
of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares
was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice
to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph and the provisions
of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is
delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply
to a successor Holder of this Warrant.
2. ADJUSTMENTS.
The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Distribution
of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, shares or
other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction)
(a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
(i) any
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Shares entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined
by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the
Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s
Board of Directors) applicable to one Common Share, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares
on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and
(ii) the
number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of Common Shares obtainable immediately prior to
the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive the Distribution
multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that
the Distribution is of Common Shares of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange
or a national automated quotation system (“Other Shares of Common Stock”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant
to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical
to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have
been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and
with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect
to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance
with the first part of this clause (ii).
(b) Proportional
Adjustments of Outstanding Common Shares and Common Share Dividends. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after
the date hereof, issue additional Common Shares to all of its current shareholders on a pro rata basis or pay a share dividend in Common
Shares, then the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustments under this Section 2(b) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the
share split becomes effective or the date of payment of the share dividend, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, this adjustment
shall not apply when shares of outstanding Common Share are merged proportionally across all shareholders to form a smaller number of
outstanding shares.
(c) Anti-dilution
Adjustment. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company sells or grants (or has sold or granted, as the case may
be) any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or has sold or issued, as the
case may be, or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Share or other securities convertible
into, exercisable for or otherwise entitled any person or entity the right to acquire Common Shares at an effective price per share that
is lower than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Exercise Price” and such issuances, collectively,
a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Share or other securities so issued shall
at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or
otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common
Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less
than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then (i) the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price equal the Base
Exercise Price, and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such
adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Share or other securities are issued, provided however, that no adjustment
will be made under this Section 2(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this Section 2(c), an “Exempt Issuance”
shall mean an issuance of Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares (1) to employees
or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved
by the Board of Directors of Company, (2) to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant
to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors of Company, (3) to suppliers
or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions approved by the Board
of Directors of Company, (4) pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or other entity by Company by merger, purchase of substantially
all of the assets or other reorganization or pursuant to a joint venture agreement, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board
of Directors of Company, (5) to third parties in connection with collaboration, technology license, development, marketing or other similar
agreements or strategic partnerships approved by the Board of Directors of Company, or (6) shares with respect to which the Holder waives
its anti-dilution rights granted hereby; provided, however, that any such issuance described in (3) through (5) shall only be to a person
(or to the equity holders of a person) which is, itself or through its Subsidiaries, an operating business, or an owner of an asset that
is used in a business, that is synergistic with the business of Company and shall provide to Company additional benefits in addition to
the investment of funds, and provided however, that none of (1) through (5) above shall include a transaction in which Company is issuing
securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. In the event
of an issuance of securities involving multiple tranches or closings, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall be calculated
as if all such securities were issued upon distribution of the initial tranche. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Conversion
Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 2(c) and the Dilutive Issuance that triggered such adjustment does not occur, is not
consummated, is unwound or is cancelled after the facts for any reason whatsoever, in no event shall the Conversion Price be readjusted
to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if such Dilutive Issuance had not occurred or been consummated.
3. FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTIONS. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another
entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “Successor Entity”), (ii) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders
of Common Shares are permitted to tender or exchange their Common Shares for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at
least 50% of the Common Shares accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Shares or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Shares) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of Common Shares of the Successor
Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result
of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of Common Shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for
the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share
in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given
any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same
choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the
extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder
a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate
Consideration.
4. NON-CIRCUMVENTION.
The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of formation, operating agreement or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out
all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above
the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this
Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Common Shares to provide for
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
5. WARRANT
HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle
the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall
be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
6. REISSUANCE.
(a) Lost,
Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as to indemnity
or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new
Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
(b) Issuance
of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall
be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as
the Issuance Date.
7. TRANSFER.
(a) Notice
of Transfer. The Holder agrees that, if practicable, but without any obligation to do so, it will give written notice to the Company
of its intent to transfer this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, describing briefly the manner of any proposed transfer. Promptly upon receiving
such written notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to the Company’s counsel. If the proposed transfer may be effected
without registration or qualification (under any federal or state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify
the Holder thereof, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the
previous exercise of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided, however,
that an appropriate legend may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions upon transfer
thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel and satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in
violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and provided further that the prospective transferee
or purchaser shall execute the Assignment of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit B and such other documents and make such representations,
warranties, and agreements as may be required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the Company for the transfer or disposition
of the Warrant or Warrant Shares.
(b) If
the proposed transfer or disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written notice given pursuant to this Section
7 may not be effected without registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Holder will limit its activities
in respect to such transfer or disposition as are permitted by law.
(c) Any
transferee of all or a portion of this Warrant shall succeed to the rights and benefits of the initial Holder of this Warrant under the
terms of the Purchase Agreement.
8. NOTICES.
Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance
with the notice provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice (i) immediately
upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least 20
days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the
Common Shares, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or other property, pro rata to the holders of Common Shares or (C) for determining
rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall
be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.
9. AMENDMENT
AND WAIVER. The terms of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
10. GOVERNING
LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles
of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall
be brought only in the state courts or federal courts sitting in Delaware. The parties to this Warrant hereby irrevocably waive any objection
to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or
based upon forum non conveniens. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST,
A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event
that any provision of this Warrant or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable
statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service
of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at
the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service
of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.
11. ACCEPTANCE.
Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
12. CERTAIN
DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, (i) the last closing trade price for such security
on the Principal Market, as reported by the Principal Market, or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis

bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the
Holder. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination or other similar transaction
during the applicable calculation period.
(b) “Common Share” means the Common Shares of the Company and any other class of securities into which such securities

Exhibit 7.1
SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT
dated as of the 12th day of August, 2022 among Daniel Rubin, an individual residing in the Province of Ontario (“DR”),
Robert Klein, an individual residing in the Province of Ontario (“RK”), 909663 Ontario Limited, a corporation incorporated
under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“909 Ontario”), Michael Lickver, an individual residing in the Province
of Ontario (“ML”, and together with DR, RK and 909 Ontario, collectively the “Vendors” and each
of them a “Vendor”), International Star Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada (the
“Purchaser”), and Budding Equity Inc., a corporation incorporated under the federal laws of Canada (the “Corporation”);
WHEREAS
the Vendors, collectively, own all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Corporation;
AND WHEREAS
the Vendors wish to sell, and the Purchaser wishes to purchase certain of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital
of the Corporation, on and subject to the terms and conditions set out herein;
NOW THEREFORE
THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES that for and in consideration of the respective covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and indemnities
herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by each party),
the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
| 1. | Initial Share Purchase. Reference is made to the Secured Promissory Note
dated August [●], 2022 issued by the Corporation to the Purchaser (the “Note”). Within five (5) Business Days
of the Purchaser having advanced the first Tranche (as defined in the Note) under the Note, the Purchaser hereby irrevocably purchases,
and the Vendors hereby sell to the Purchaser their Proportionate Share of 600,000 issued and outstanding common shares in the capital
of the Corporation (the “Initial Shares”), free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances, for the aggregate
purchase price of CDN $10.00, which purchase price shall be shared by the Vendors each in accordance with their Proportionate Share. The
Vendors hereby irrevocably direct the Purchaser to pay the purchase price due and payable under this Section to the Corporation, and this
shall be the Purchaser’s good and sufficient irrevocable authority to do so. |
| 2. | Sale of Additional Shares. |
| (i) | Within five (5) Business Days of each advance by the Purchaser of an aggregate
USD $50,000 to a maximum of USD $200,000 (inclusive of any earned OID (as defined in the Note) and legal or other fees retained by the
Purchaser under the Note, but excluding all amounts advanced under the first Tranche) as additional Tranche(s) under and in accordance
with the Note, then, in addition to the Initial Shares, each Vendor shall sell to the Purchaser their Proportionate Share of such number
of issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Corporation on the basis that the Vendors will transfer to the Purchaser
an aggregate of 100,000 issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Corporation for every USD $50,000 advanced by the Purchaser
(the “Additional Shares”) to an aggregate maximum of 400,000 Additional Shares, with the aggregate purchase price payable
to all Vendors for the Additional Shares being CDN $10.00, to be shared by the Vendors each in accordance with its Proportionate Share.
The Purchaser at its option may, in its sole discretion, direct the transfer of the Additional Shares to be in the name of a different
Person. |
| (ii) | On each date of the transfer of the Additional Shares, the Vendors shall deliver
to the Purchaser a certificate of the Vendors and a senior officer of the Corporation certifying that the representations and warranties
set out in this Agreement are true correct as at such date, as if they had been made on the date thereof. |
| (iii) | A failure by the Vendors to transfer any Additional Shares in accordance with this
Section shall be an Event of Default (as contemplated in and defined in the Note). |
| 3. | Option. IN FURTHER CONSIDERATION of the covenants and agreements of the Purchaser
herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by each Vendor): |
| (i) | Each Vendor hereby grants to the Purchaser the irrevocable option to purchase up
to all of the of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Corporation owned by such Vendor (collectively, the “Optioned
Shares”). |
| (ii) | The exercise by the Purchaser of the option granted herein shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions: |
| (A) | the Purchaser will be entitled to exercise the option to purchase the Optioned
Shares at any one time, or from time to time in tranches, on or before the date that is first anniversary of the date hereof (the “Expiry
Date”). On the Expiry Date, the option granted in this Section 3 shall automatically expire and shall be of no further force
and effect; and |
| (B) | the aggregate option price (the “Option Price”) payable by the
Purchaser to each Vendor for each Optioned Share that is purchased hereunder shall be CDN $0.17 per Optioned Share. It is acknowledged
and agreed that CDN $0.04 of the Option Price assumes that the current assets (as defined under Canadian GAAP) of the Corporation less
the current liabilities (as defined under Canadian GAAP) of the Corporation at the applicable time is equal to CDN $400,000 and that otherwise,
the portion of the Option Price in excess of CDN $0.13 will be adjusted accordingly. |
| (iii) | If the Purchaser elects to exercise the option granted herein, it shall deliver
a notice (the “Notice”) to the Vendors (with a copy to the Corporation) in the form of the Notice annexed hereto as
Schedule “A” and in the manner provided for in Section 8(d) hereof. |
| (iv) | Upon receipt of the Notice by the Vendors, this Agreement shall constitute a binding
contract of purchase and sale for the number of Optioned Shares being purchased by the Purchaser as indicated in each such Notice. |
| (v) | Upon receipt of the Notice by the Vendors and subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Vendor hereby covenants and agrees to sell its Proportionate Share of the number of Optioned Shares indicated in such Notice
to the Purchaser. |
| (vi) | Each closing of the transaction of purchase and sale of Optioned Shares contemplated
herein shall take place on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the receipt of the applicable Notice by the Vendors and shall take place
at the head office of the Corporation. |
| (vii) | The Option Price payable in respect of each transaction of purchase and sale of
Optioned Shares contemplated herein, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendors in ten (10) equal monthly instalments, with the first
payment being due one (1) month after the applicable closing date for the purchase of Optioned Shares. |
| (viii) | Provided that the Purchaser exercises the option granted herein in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Corporation covenants and agrees to, and each of the Vendors hereby authorizes and directs the Corporation to, effect
the transfer of the applicable Optioned Shares from the Vendors to the Purchaser. |

this Agreement and to take, perform or execute all proceedings, acts and instruments necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein and to fulfill his obligations hereunder; |

outstanding shares of the Corporation owned by the Vendors; (ii) the purchase, subscription, allotment or issuance of any unissued shares
or securities of the Corporation; or (iii) the purchase of any of the assets of the Corporation. Other than as set out in the Shareholders’

in favour of any other Person; |

reasonable notice during normal business hours and at other reasonable times, access to the facilities, vehicles, equipment, records and
advisors of the Corporation and access to key employees and top customers of the Corporation for the purpose of completing the Purchaser’s

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
For value received, Budding
Equity Inc., a corporation incorporation incorporated under the federal laws of Canada, with an office located at 53 Cliff Gunn Road,
Newmarket, Ontario L3X 3J7 (referred to hereinafter as the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of International
Star, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Nevada, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal
sum of US$543,478.26 or so much as has been advanced in one or more tranches (the “Principal Amount”), together with
interest accruing on the unpaid balance at a per annum rate of ten percent (10%) (the “Interest Rate”), and Default
Interest accruing in case of default as further set forth below, on the dates set forth below or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set
forth herein (or as may be amended, extended, renewed and refinanced, collectively, this “Note”).
The consideration to the Borrower
for this Note is five hundred thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Consideration”) to be paid in one or more tranches
(each, a “Tranche”). The first Tranche shall consist of a payment by Holder to Borrower on the Issue Date of no less
than three hundred thousand Dollars ($300,000), from which the Holder shall retain five thousand dollars ($5,000) to cover a portion of
its legal fees, and prepaid interest for the first six (6) months after the Issue Date, pursuant to Section 1.2. Additional Tranches shall
be advanced at Holders discretion. Each of the Tranches shall be evidenced by a Flow of Funds Memorandum executed by the Borrower, a form
of which is attached hereto as Appendix A.
The maturity date (“Maturity
Date”) for all amounts owing outstanding hereunder shall be at the end of the period that begins from the date each Tranche
is advanced and ends twenty four (24) months after the date hereof (such periods each referred to herein as a “Tranche Term”).
The principal sum, as well as interest and other fees shall be due and payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth in Article
I herein. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except pursuant to Section 1.6 below or as otherwise explicitly set forth herein.
This Note carries an original
issue discount of forty three thousand four hundred seventy eight and 26/100 Dollars ($43,478.26) (the “OID”), to cover
the Holder’s accounting fees, due diligence fees, monitoring, and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase
and sale of the Note, which is included in the principal balance of this Note. Thus, the purchase price of this Note shall be five hundred
thousand Dollars ($500,000), computed as follows: the Principal Amount minus the OID. The OID shall be earned upon the advance of each
Tranche on a pro rata basis of their proportion of the total Consideration. [For example: upon the advance of the first Tranche, twenty
six thousand eighty six and 96/100 Dollars ($26,086.96) shall be added to the principal amount of the outstanding Note in addition to
the amount advanced, and the total amount owed, or the total principal amount, shall be three hundred twenty six thousand eighty six and
96/100 Dollars ($326,086.96)].
It is further acknowledged
and agreed that the Principal Amount owed by Borrower under this Note shall be increased by the amount of all reasonable expenses incurred
by the Holder in connection with the collection of amounts due, or enforcement of any terms pursuant to, this Note (“Collection
Costs”). All such expenses shall be deemed added to the Principal Amount hereunder to the extent such expenses are paid or incurred
by the Holder, whether or not litigation is commenced to enforce this Note.
This Note shall be a senior
secured obligation of the Borrower with first priority over all current and future Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Borrower. The
obligations of the Borrower under this Note are secured pursuant to the terms of the security agreements (the “Security Agreements”)
of even date herewith by and between the Borrower and the Holder, terms of which are incorporated by reference and made part of this Note.
The assets of the Borrower
are free of all liens, claims and encumbrances. The issuance of this Note is not subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights
of shareholders or members, as applicable, of Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
The following additional terms shall also apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I. PAYMENTS
1.1 Principal Payments. The Principal Amount of
the first Tranche shall be due and payable in accordance with the amortization schedule contained in Appendix B hereto, with any outstanding
amounts due and payable on the Maturity Date. Amortization schedules for the principal amount of any future Tranche will be provided
upon the advance of such Tranche and shall follow the same general formula for repayment as the first Tranche.
1.2 Principal Payments. Interest on this Note
(i) is computed separately for each Tranche; (ii) is charged on a monthly basis (that is, for each month during each Tranche Term, the
amount of accrued interest is determined by multiplying one twelfth (1/12th) of the Interest Rate by the sum of the principal amount
plus, if applicable, any accrued and previously due but unpaid interest of such Tranche); and (iii) is payable on a monthly basis, provided
however, that the initial six (6) months’ interest shall be payable by the Borrower on the Issue Date. See Appendix B, attached
hereto, for a complete payment schedule for the first Tranche. Payment schedules for additional Tranche shall be provided upon distribution
of such additional Tranches and shall follow the same general formula for repayment as the first Tranche.
1.3 Other Payment Obligations. All fees, penalties,
and other charges, if any, due under this Note, shall be payable pursuant to the terms contained herein, but in any case, shall be payable
no later than the Maturity Date.
1.4 Default
Interest. Any amount of principal, interest, other amounts due hereunder or penalties on this Note, which is not paid by the due
date as specified herein, or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein, shall in addition to other remedies contained
herein, shall bear interest during the continuance of an Event of Default at the lesser of the rate of twenty four percent (24%) per
annum or the maximum legal amount permitted by law (the “Default Interest Rate”), from the due date thereof until
the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Wherever interest to be paid under this Note is to be calculated on the
basis of any period of time that is less than a calendar year (a “deemed year”), such rate of interest shall be
expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest for the deemed year by the actual number of days in the calendar
year in which the rate is to be ascertained and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.
1.5 Payment Method. All payments of principal
and interest due hereunder shall be paid by automatic debit, wire transfer, certified cheque or in coin or currency which, at the
time or times of payment, is the legal tender for public and private debts in the United States and shall be made at such place as
Holder or the legal holder or holders of the Note may from time to time appoint in a payment invoice or otherwise in writing, and in
the absence of such appointment, then at the offices of Holder at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by
written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments
will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest, then to any late charges, fees, penalties, and the like, due and owing, and
thereafter, any remainder will be credited to principal. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on
any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the
case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, interest shall continue to accrue during
such extension. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
a day on which commercial banks in the cities of New York, New York or Toronto, Ontario are authorized or required by law or
executive order to remain closed.
1.6 Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right
at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder, to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, by
making a payment to Holder equal to the outstanding Principal Amount plus all interest through the Maturity Date plus any other amounts
due under the Note. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, should the transaction whereby the Holder or an affiliate of the
Holder acquires or otherwise amalgamates with the Borrower fail to close on or prior to the date that is six (6) months from the Issue
Date of this Note, the Borrower may thereafter prepay this Note in full without notice, bonus or penalty, and such prepayment in an amount
equal to all then outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest then existing shall terminate this Note.

in the purchase of the securities being offered in such Future Offering up to an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Principal
Amount of this Note. |
| (c) | Right of First Refusal. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
has a bona fide offer of capital or financing from any third party, then the Borrower must first offer such opportunity to the Holder
to provide such capital or financing to the Borrower or Subsidiary on the same terms. Should the Holder be unwilling or unable to provide
such capital or financing to the Borrower or Subsidiary within 10 days from Holder’s receipt of written notice of the offer (the
“Offer Notice”) from the Borrower, then the Borrower or Subsidiary may obtain such capital or financing from that respective
third party. The Offer Notice must be sent via electronic mail to avi@leonitecap.com Cc: dberger@bergerlawpllc.com. |
| (d) | Terms of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance of any security,

term that the Holder reasonably believes is more favourable to the holder of such security or with a term in favour of the holder of such
security that the Holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then (i) the Borrower shall notify
the Holder of such additional or more favorable term within three (3) business days of the issuance and/or amendment (as applicable) of
the respective security, and (ii) such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder

documents with the Holder, then the Borrower shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder (the “Acknowledgment”) within three (3) business days of Borrower’s receipt of request
from Holder (the “Adjustment Deadline”), provided that Borrower’s failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement
shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby. |

4.6 Assignability.
This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its
successors and assigns.
4.7 Governing
Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario without regard to principles
of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall
be brought only in the courts located in such Province. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction
and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum
non conveniens. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION
OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. The prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable legal fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this
Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law,
then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents

for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
4.8 Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this
Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid
at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual
damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the
Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty.
4.9 Remedies. The
Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent
and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions
of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to
the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.
4.10 Usury. To the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Borrower hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist
any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by the Holder in order to enforce any right or remedy under this
Note. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other Transaction Document would oblige the Borrower or any Guarantor to make
any payment of interest or any other payment which is construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest in an amount or calculated
at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in a receipt by the Holder of interest at a criminal rate (as such
terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed
to have been adjusted nunc pro tunc to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited
by applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Holder of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent
necessary as follows: (a) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid under this Note; and (b) thereafter,
by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums or other amounts required to be paid to the Holder which would constitute interest for the
purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). If, notwithstanding the provisions of this provision and after giving effect
to all adjustments contemplated thereby, the Holder shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law,
then such excess shall be applied by the Holder to the reduction of the principal balance of the outstanding principal hereunder and
not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds such principal balance, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower
or Guarantor, as applicable.
4.11 Opportunity to Consult
with Counsel. The Borrower represents and acknowledges that it has been provided with the opportunity to discuss and review the terms
of this Note and the other Transaction Documents with its counsel before signing it and that it is freely and voluntarily signing the
Transaction Documents in exchange for the benefits provided herein. In light of this, the Borrower will not contest the validity of Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated therein. The Borrower further represents and acknowledges that it has been provided a reasonable
period of time within which to review the terms of the Transaction Documents.
4.12 Consent to Judgment.
The Borrower acknowledges that the Holder has been granted a consent to judgement by the Borrower, and that the Holder has advanced the
Purchase Price hereunder only on condition of receiving the foregoing, and that the Holder may register such consent to judgement with
the Ontario Superior Court of Justice or such other applicable Court.
4.13 Confidentiality.
Holder and Borrower acknowledge that the existence and the terms of this Note and any oral or written information exchanged in connection
with the preparation and performance of this Note and other related documents, all of which shall remain confidential. Without obtaining
written consent the existence of the Note and other related documents shall not be disclosed to any third party, except for information
that (a) is or will be in the public domain; or (b) is under the obligation to be disclosed pursuant to applicable law or regulations.
4.14 Currency. Unless
otherwise stated, all references in this Note to dollar amounts, "dollars" or "$" are references to United States
dollars.
4.15 Judgment Currency.
(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to the Holder in any currency (the
"Original Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties agree, to the fullest
extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures,
the Holder may purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which the final judgment
is given or, if permitted by Applicable Law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied. (b) The obligations of the Borrower
in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Holder under any of the Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment
in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Holder of any sum adjudged
to be so due in the Other Currency, the Holder may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with
the Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Holder in the Original
Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify the Holder against any loss and,
if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Holder in the Original Currency, the Holder
shall remit such excess to the Borrower.

this Note are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. Electronic signature means

(f)
Pledge Agreement. Any default or breach by Borrower under the Pledge Agreement, subject to any notice requirements or cure
periods as provided for therein.
2.2 Written
Notice of Default. Unless otherwise provided, no event shall constitute a default unless and until written Notice of Default is given

relating to such Shares; and
(c)
In the event that an Event of Default occurs prior to such time as the Borrower has made payments in excess of the value (in dollars)
of 50.1% total equity in Budding, then Budding or any of the Holders shall be entitled, at their sole discretion, to repurchase from the
Borrower the Shares that were already paid for by the Borrower at a price per Share equal to 80% of the price per Share paid by the Borrower
to the Holders for such Shares..
ARTICLE III. MISCELLANEOUS
3.1 Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holders in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder

privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder
or under the Pledge Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
3.2 Severability.
In the event that any provision herein is determined to be void or unenforceable for any reason, such determination shall not affect

Exhibit 7.6
THIS SHARE PLEDGE AGREEMENT made
this 30th day of January, 2023 B E T W E E N:
INTERNATIONAL STAR, INC., a corporation incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada
(the “Pledgor”)
- and -
DANIEL RUBIN, an individual resident in the Province
of Ontario
(“Daniel”)
- and -
ROBERT KLEIN, an individual resident in the Province
of Ontario
(“Robert”)
- and -
MICHAEL LICKVER, an individual resident in the Province
of Ontario
(“Michael”)
- and -
909663 ONTARIO LIMITED, a corporation incorporated
under the laws of the Province of Ontario
(together with Daniel, Robert and Michael, the
“Pledgees”)
WHEREAS:
(a)
the Pledgor previously has acquired 750,000 common shares in the capital of Budding Equity Inc. (the “Corporation”);
(b)
the Pledgees, the Pledgor and the Corporation have agreed that the Pledgees shall sell an additional 9,250,000 common shares of
the Corporation (the “Pledged Shares”) to the Pledgor, which Shares represent all of their equity interests in the
Corporation;
(c)
the payment of the purchase price for the Shares of the Pledgees, includes, without limitation, the payment, by a promissory note
dated as of the date hereof (the “Promissory Note”), the sum of US$1,094,000, issued by the Pledgor to the Pledgees,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule “A”; and
(d)
in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note, the Pledgor is obliged to pledge the Shares as security for the Secured Obligations
(as that term is defined below);
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that
in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the sum of $2.00 and other good and valuable consideration (the
receipt and sufficiency of which each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges), the parties hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
1.00 In accordance with the terms set forth below,
the Shares shall secure the due and prompt payment and performance of the obligations under the Promissory Note, including the obligations
to pay all principal, interest and other amounts owing to the Pledgees thereunder (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”),
the Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Pledgees a first priority lien and security interest in the Pledged Shares and all
proceeds and products of the Pledged Shares (collectively, the “Collateral”).
SECTION 2
ATTACHMENT
2.00 The parties intend that the security interest
hereby granted to the Pledgees in the Collateral will attach upon the execution of this Agreement.
SECTION 3
PERFECTION AND FURTHERANCE OF SECURITY INTEREST
3.01 The Pledgor shall, from time to time, as
may be required by the Pledgees with respect to all Collateral, promptly take all actions as may be reasonably requested by the Pledgees
to perfect the security interest in the Collateral, at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgor. The Pledgor shall, at its own cost and
expense, take reasonable steps to defend title to the Collateral and the first priority lien and security interest of the Pledgees therein
against the claim of any person claiming against or through the Pledgor and to maintain and preserve such perfected first priority security
interest for so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect. The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense
of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, obtain such Agreements from third
parties, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Pledgees may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain
the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Pledgees
to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Agreement with respect to any Collateral.
3.02 The Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes
the Pledgees at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that
contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or
amendment relating to the Collateral, without the signature of the Pledgor where permitted by law. The Pledgor agrees to provide all
information required by the Pledgees pursuant to this Section 3.03 promptly to the Pledgees upon request. For purposes of this Agreement,
“UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Nevada, United States, or,
when the laws of any other state govern the method or manner of the perfection or enforcement of any security interest in any of the
Collateral, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such state.
SECTION 4
RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER
4.00 Unless and until a Default (defined below)
occurs and is continuing the Pledgor shall remain the shareholder of record with respect to the Pledged Shares and shall retain all rights
of ownership thereunder, including without limitation, the rights to vote said shares and to receive any dividends that may be declared
thereon, and shall retain sole possession of the Pledged Shares. The Pledgees acknowledge and agree that they will not at any time take
any steps to dispose of, encumber, deal with or take any action with respect to the Pledged Shares except as provided elsewhere in this
Agreement.
SECTION 5
DEFAULT
5.00 There shall be a default hereunder upon the
occurrence of any one or more of the following events (“Default”):
(a)
an Event of Default (as such term is defined therein) under the Promissory Note, including if the Pledgor fails to make any payment
to the Pledgees in respect of the Promissory Note as and when same becomes due, subject to any notice requirements or cure periods as
provided for in the Note;
(b)
the Pledgor fails to perform or fulfil any of the obligations, covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and
such default is not remedied within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof to the Pledgor; provided that with respect to an event
referred to in Section 4.00(a), no additional notice or cure period shall apply if a notice requirement or cure period is provided for
in the Note; or
(c)
any security or evidence of indebtedness granted by the Pledgor to other persons becomes enforceable and the secured party thereunder
takes steps to enforce the same in accordance with the terms thereof provided that if such secured party waives default in writing or
discontinues enforcement, this shall preclude the Pledgees from treating the same as default hereunder.
SECTION 6
REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
6.00 In the event of any Default, Pledgees may,
without any other notice to or demand upon the Pledgor, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable
law, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or
otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral.
SECTION 7
PAYMENT
7.00 Upon payment and performance in full of the
Secured Obligations, the security interest in the Collateral herein granted shall be fully and effectively discharged and the Pledgees,
at the request and sole expense of the Pledgor, shall forthwith terminate all UCC financing statements and amendments thereto filed hereunder
by or on behalf of Pledgees.
SECTION 8
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
8.00 The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants
as follows and hereby acknowledges that the Pledgees are relying upon such representations and warranties:

and clear of all mortgages, liens, charges, security interests, adverse claims, pledges, encumbrances and demands whatsoever.
8.02 There is not pending any suit, action or
other legal proceeding of any sort either to restrain or otherwise prevent in any manner the Pledgor from effectually and legally hypothecating

action or proceeding the effect of which would be to cause a lien to attach to the Collateral or to divest title to the Collateral in

this Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment and performance
when due of the Secured Obligations.

8.05 This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor enforceable in accordance

rights generally and subject to equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
8.06 No authorization, approval, or other action
by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority, regulatory body or any other entity is required for the pledge by the
Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution and delivery of this agreement by the Pledgor or the performance
by the Pledgor of its obligations hereunder.
8.07 The execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Pledgor and the performance by the Pledgor of its obligations hereunder, will not violate any provision of any applicable law or
regulation or any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, applicable
to the Pledgor or any of its property, or the organizational or governing documents of the Pledgor or any agreement or instrument to which
the Pledgor is party or by which it or its property is bound.
SECTION 9
COVENANTS BY THE PLEDGOR

Re: Offering Statement on Form 1-A
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have been requested by
International Star, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to furnish you with our opinion as to the matters hereinafter
set forth in connection with the proposed public offering by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of up to 2,000,000,000
units comprised of (i) 2,000,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) warrants
to purchase an additional 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock (“Warrant Shares”) through a Regulation A Offering Statement
on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) as to which this opinion is a part, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In connection with this opinion,
we have examined the Offering Statement, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (each as amended to date), copies of
the records of corporate proceedings of the Company and such other documents as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinion
hereinafter expressed.
For purposes of this opinion,
we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted
to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity
of all natural persons, the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered,
the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Company and the due authorization, execution and
delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Company. We have not independently established or verified any facts relevant
to the opinions expressed herein, but have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company
and others.
Based upon and subject to
the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that the
2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and the 2,000,000,000 Warrant Shares being offered by the Company will, when issued in accordance
with the terms set forth in the Offering Statement, be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company.
We hereby consent to the use
of this opinion as an exhibit to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our name under the caption “Legal Matters”
in the Offering Statement and in the offering circular included in the Offering Statement. We confirm that, as of the date hereof, we
own no shares of the Company’s common stock, nor any other securities of the Company.
