NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY
Ae1uma, Inc. (“Aeluma” or the “Company”),
is a Delaware C Corporation, incorporated on February 28 th , 2019. The Company filed the articles of incorporation of a General
Stock Corporation with the secretary of state under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Aeluma is headquartered in Santa Barbara, California.
The Company is engaged in the research and development of infrared (IR) optical sensors to disrupt the market for IR sensors, and using
its proprietary technology aims to produce a much higher performance alternative to today’s low-cost sensors at much lower prices
than would otherwise be possible. The focus of the Company will be the image sensor market. Initial efforts hope to penetrate the 3D imaging
and sensing (mobile & consumer, defense & aerospace, industrial, medical, auto) and lidar (robotic vehicles, ADAS vehicles, topography,
wind, industrial) markets.
We were originally incorporated as Parc Investments,
Inc. in the State of Delaware on August 21, 2020. Prior to the Merger (as defined below), we were a “shell company” (as defined
in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).
On June 22, 2021, our board of directors and all
of our pre-Merger stockholders approved a restated certificate of incorporation, which was effective upon its filing with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware on June 22, 2021 and through which we changed our name to “Aeluma, Inc.” On June 22, 2021,
our board of directors also adopted restated bylaws.
On June 22, 2021, Biond Photonics, Inc., a privately
held California corporation (“Biond Photonics”) merged with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Aeluma Operating Co., a
corporation formed in the State of Delaware on June 22, 2021 (“Acquisition Sub”). Pursuant to this transaction (the “Merger”),
Acquisition Sub was the surviving corporation and remained our wholly owned subsidiary, and all of the outstanding stock of Biond Photonics
was converted into shares of our common stock.
As a result of the Merger, we acquired the business
of Biond Photonics and will continue the existing business operations of Biond Photonics as a public reporting company under the name
Aeluma, Inc. In conjunction with the merger transaction, the company changed its year end to June 30.
Merger Agreement
On June 22, 2021, Parc Investments, Inc., Acquisition
Sub and Biond Photonics entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant
to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on June 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Biond Photonics merged with and into Acquisition
Sub, with Acquisition Sub continuing as the surviving corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary.
As a result of the Merger, we acquired the business
of Biond Photonics, a California corporation, doing business as Aeluma. At the time the certificates of merger reflecting the Merger were
filed with the Secretaries of State of California and Delaware (the “Effective Time”), each of Biond Photonics’ shares
of capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into the right to receive (a) 1.299135853
shares of our common stock (the “Common Share Conversion Ratio”), with the maximum number of shares of our common stock issuable
to the former holders of Biond Photonics’ capital stock equal to 4,100,000 after adjustments due to rounding for fractional shares.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock owned by our stockholders prior to the Merger
were forfeited and cancelled (the “Stock Forfeiture”).
The issuance of shares of our common stock to
Biond Photonics’ former security holders are collectively referred to as the “Share Conversion.”
The Merger Agreement contained customary representations
and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party and customary closing conditions.
As a condition to the Merger, we entered into
an indemnity agreement with our former officer and directors (the “Pre-Merger Indemnity Agreement”), pursuant to which we
agreed to indemnify such former officer and directors for actions taken by them in their official capacities relating to the consideration,
approval and consummation of the Merger and certain related transactions.
The Merger was treated as a recapitalization and
reverse acquisition for us for financial reporting purposes. Biond Photonics is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our
historical financial statements before the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Biond Photonics before
the Merger in future filings with the SEC. The Merger is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion
of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2021, and 2020 and the results of operations and cash
flows of the Company for the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Please also refer to
the financial statements of Biond Photonics Inc for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 28,
2021.
The summary of significant accounting policies
presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying
notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
Going Concern
The Company incurred a net loss of $ 217,203 for
the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company is in the research and development stage and has not generated revenue to
date. In order to support its operations, the Company will require additional infusions of cash from the sale of equity instruments or
the issuance of debt instruments, or the commencement of profitable revenue generating activities. If adequate funds are not available
or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company’s ability to fund its operations, develop or enhance its sensors in the future
or respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. Such limitations could require the Company to curtail, suspend or
discontinue parts of its business plan.
These conditions may raise doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Basic Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares
prior to the merger have been restated to consider the conversion into the share of the legal acquirer.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes
to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates.
To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
7
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), fair values is
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses the market or income approach. Based on this approach, the Company
utilizes certain assumptions about the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable,
market-corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is
required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and the
reliability of the information used to determine fair values. As a basis for considering these assumptions, ASC 820 defines a three-tier
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value.
Level 1 – Unadjusted
quoted prices in active, accessible market for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – Other inputs
that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace
Level 3 – Unobservable
inputs which are supported by little or no market activity
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity
to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The carrying values of the Company’s cash,
accounts payable, accrued expenses and advances from officers approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these
items. The carrying amounts reported for debt obligations approximate fair value due to the effective interest rate of these obligations
reflecting the Company’s current borrowing rate.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit
accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Property and Equipment
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements
are reported at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance to these assets are charged to expense as incurred; major improvements
enhancing the function and/or the asset’s useful life are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses arising from such transactions are recognized.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company has one capitalized
equipment asset which will be used for the development and production of their sensors. The asset is not currently in use and will continue
to receive capitalized improvements until it is ready to use. Once commissioned and properly setup, the property and equipment will be
depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash in banks, deposits
in transit, and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts. The Company’s accounts are insured by the FDIC but at times may exceed federally insured limits.
Income Taxes
The Company is expected to have net operating
loss carryforwards that it can use to offset a certain amount of taxable income in the future. The Company is currently analyzing the
amount of loss carryforwards that will be available to reduce future taxable income. The resulting deferred tax assets will be offset
by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of its realization. The primary difference between income tax expense attributable to
continuing operations and the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory rates to income
before income taxes relates to the recognition of a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets.
8
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10, “ Income
Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements
and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not as a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a Company must determine whether it is more
likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must
assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties totaled $ 0 for periods presented. The Company’s net operating
loss carryforwards are subject to IRS examination until they are fully utilized, and such tax years are closed.
The Company will file tax returns in the U.S.
federal jurisdiction and the state of California. The Company’s federal and state return form are subject to review by the taxing
authorities. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority, nor has it been notified of an impending examination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases
(Topic 840)” and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the balance sheet. The Company entered into
a lease agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
In
April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends certain aspects of the Board ’s
new revenue standard, ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company does not currently generate revenue.
NOTE 3 – ADVANCES FROM OFFICERS
During the year ended December 31, 2020, in an
effort to carry the Company forward with limited cash flow, two officers provided advances to pay for miscellaneous Company expenses.
The amounts recorded for December 31, 2020 were $ 16,616 and were repaid in 2021.
NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE
The Company entered into two $ 60,000 promissory
notes on October 27, 2020 from Jonathan Klamkin, Cofounder, Director and CEO; and Lee McCarthy, Cofounder, Director, interim CFO and COO.
The notes bear simple interest at an annual rate of 5 % and mature December 31, 2021 . As of December 31, 2020, the notes have incurred
$ 1,000 in interest. The purpose of the notes was to provide working capital for the business to bridge the Company through the upcoming
transaction. These were repaid upon the financing in June, 2021.
NOTE 5 – SAFE Agreements
In
February, 2021, the Company issued Simple Agreement For Equity (SAFE) agreements to certain shareholders of the Company in exchange for
$ 210,000 in cash. The SAFE agreements were converted to common stock on June 22, 2021 for 129,154 shares. The value of the SAFE instruments
increased in value by$ 48,308 upon conversion on June 22, 2021. Such increase in value was reported in the
statements of operations .
9
NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Authorized Shares
The
Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of two classes of shares of stock. The total number of shares which this
corporation is authorized to issue is 50,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 of $.0001 par value preferred
stock. No preferred shares were issued at June 30, 2021.
Common Stock Offering
Immediately
following the Effective Time of the Merger, we sold 3,482,500 shares of our common stock pursuant to an initial closing of a private placement
offering at a purchase price of $ 2.00 per share (the “Offering Price”). We held a second closing on June 28, 2021 for an additional
402,500 shares of our common. Accordingly, we sold a total of 3,885,000 shares
of our common stock through June 30, 2021 . The private placement offering
is referred to herein as the “Offering.”
The
aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering were $ 7,770,000 (before deducting
placement agent fees and expenses of the Offering of $ 1,059,505 ) .
The Offering was exempt from registration under
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder. The common stock
in the Offering was sold to “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D, and was conducted on a “reasonable
best efforts” basis.
In connection with the Offering and subject to
the closing of the Offering, we agreed to pay the placement agent, GP Nurmenkari Inc. (the “Placement Agent”), a U.S. registered
broker-dealer, a cash placement fee of 10% of the gross proceeds raised from investors in the Offering (or 3% of the first $800,000 of
gross proceeds raised from pre-Merger Biond Photonics shareholders and their friends and family) and to issue to it 50,000 shares of our
common stock and warrants to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock sold
in the Offering (other than the first $800,000 of common stock sold to pre-Merger Biond Photonics shareholders and their friends and family,
for which the placement agent will not receive any warrants), with a term of five years and an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the
“Placement Agent Warrants”). We also agreed to pay certain expenses of the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering.
As
a result of the foregoing, we paid the Placement Agent an aggregate commission of $ 725,900 and
issued to it 50,000 shares of our common stock and Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 348,500 shares of our common stock in connection
with the Offering. We have also reimbursed the Placement Agent for approximately $ 35,000 of expenses incurred in connection with the Offering.
A note payable to an officer of Parc Investments,

the forward-looking statements in this report.
Overview
On June 22, 2021, the Company, Acquisition Sub
and Biond Photonics entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to
the terms of the Merger Agreement, on June 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Biond Photonics merged with and into Acquisition
Sub, with Acquisition Sub continuing as the surviving corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary.
As a result of the Merger, we acquired the business
of Biond Photonics, a California corporation, doing business as Aeluma. At the time the certificates of merger reflecting the Merger were
filed with the Secretaries of State of California and Delaware (the “Effective Time”), each of Biond Photonics’ shares
of capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into the right to receive (a) 1.299135853
shares of our common stock (the “Common Share Conversion Ratio”), with the maximum number of shares of our common stock issuable
to the former holders of Biond Photonics’ capital stock equal to 4,100,000 after adjustments due to rounding for fractional shares.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock owned by the stockholders of PUBCO prior
to the Merger were forfeited and cancelled (the “Stock Forfeiture”). The issuance of shares of our common stock to Biond Photonics’
former security holders are collectively referred to as the “Share Conversion.”
12
The Merger Agreement contained customary representations
and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party and customary closing conditions.
As a condition to the Merger, we entered into
an indemnity agreement with our former officer and directors (the “Pre-Merger Indemnity Agreement”), pursuant to which we
agreed to indemnify such former officer and directors for actions taken by them in their official capacities relating to the consideration,
approval and consummation of the Merger and certain related transactions.
The Merger was treated as a recapitalization and
reverse acquisition for us for financial reporting purposes. Biond Photonics is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our
historical financial statements before the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Biond Photonics before
the Merger in future filings with the SEC. The Merger is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The issuance of securities pursuant to the Share
Conversion was not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and Rule 506 of Regulation D
promulgated by the SEC thereunder. These securities may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirement and are subject to further contractual restrictions on transfer.
The Offering
Immediately following the Effective Time of the
Merger, we sold 3,482,500 shares of our common stock pursuant to an initial closing of a private placement offering at a purchase price
of $2.00 per share (the “Offering Price”). We held a second closing on June 28, 2021 for an additional 402,500 shares of our
common stock and a third closing on July 1, 2021 for an additional 115,000 shares of our common stock. Accordingly, we sold a total of
4,000,000 shares of our common stock. The private placement offering is referred to herein as the “Offering.”
The
aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering were $8,000,000 (before deducting placement agent fees and expenses of the Offering.
The Offering was exempt from registration under
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder. The common stock
in the Offering was sold to “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D, and was conducted on a “reasonable
best efforts” basis.
In connection with the Offering and subject to
the closing of the Offering, we agreed to pay the placement agent, GP Nurmenkari Inc. (the “Placement Agent”), a U.S. registered
broker-dealer, a cash placement fee of 10% of the gross proceeds raised from investors in the Offering (or 3% of the first $800,000 of
gross proceeds raised from pre-Merger Biond Photonics shareholders and their friends and family) and to issue to it 50,000 shares of our
common stock and warrants to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock sold
in the Offering (other than the first $800,000 of common stock sold to pre-Merger Biond Photonics shareholders and their friends and family,
for which the placement agent will not receive any warrants), with a term of five years and an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the
“Placement Agent Warrants”). We also agreed to pay certain expenses of the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering.
As a result of the foregoing, we paid the Placement
Agent an aggregate commission of $748,900 and issued to it 50,000 shares of our common stock and Placement Agent Warrants to purchase
360,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the Offering. We have also reimbursed the Placement Agent for approximately $35,000
of expenses incurred in connection with the Offering.
Subject to certain customary exceptions, we
have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent to the fullest extent permitted by law against certain liabilities that may be incurred in
connection with the Offering, including certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act, and, where such indemnification is not available,
to contribute to the payments the Placement Agent and their sub-agents may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

Departure and Appointment of Directors and Officers
Our board of directors is authorized to and consists
of 5 members. As of the Effective Time, Mr. Ian Jacobs and Mr. Mark Tompkins resigned from our board of directors, and Mr. Jonathan Klamkin,
Mr. Lee McCarthy and Mr. Steven DenBaars were appointed to our board of directors.
Also,
as of the Effective Time, Mr. Jacobs resigned from all officer positions with us, and Jonathan Klamkin was appointed as our President
and Chief Executive Officer, Lee McCarthy was appointed as our interim Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. On
August 18, 2021, Mr. McCarthy resigned as our interim Chief Financial Officer.
Prior to the Merger, the sole business purpose
of the Company was to seek the acquisition of or merger with, an existing company.
As a result of the consummation of the Merger,
on June 22, 2021, Biond Photonics, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary and the business of Biond Photonics, Inc. became the business
of the Company going forward. Accordingly, at the closing, the Company ceased to be a shell company.
Aeluma develops novel optoelectronic devices for
sensing and communications applications. Aeluma has pioneered a technique to manufacture devices using high performance compound semiconductor
materials on large diameter silicon wafers that are commonly used to manufacture mass market microelectronics. This enables cost effective
manufacturing of high-performance photodetector array circuits for imaging applications in mobile devices. These devices may be used as
image sensors that generate an image by detecting light, in a manner similar to a digital camera taking a picture. Our devices may incorporate
additional functionality and enhanced performance to enable 3D image capture when integrated into various system architectures. This technology
has the potential to greatly enhance the performance and capability of camera image sensors, Lidar, augmented reality, facial recognition,
and other applications. Aeluma has acquired a key piece of manufacturing equipment and has headquarters in Goleta, CA with a manufacturing
cleanroom to house this equipment.
Plan of Operations
During the next twelve months, we expect to take
the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations. We are
currently preparing the facility for equipment installation. Soon thereafter, equipment will be installed and then brought online, meaning
power will be supplied to the equipment and various connections will be made including gas supply lines, exhaust, and other connections.
When fully installed, the equipment will be checked through various test operations to verify that the systems are performing to requirements
and we will begin to perform development runs to realize epitaxial wafers, which is the combination of the compound semiconductor materials
grown on the silicon wafer. Thereafter, we hope to finalize the purchase agreements for epitaxial wafers with the two customers with whom
we currently have support letters, as mentioned elsewhere in this Report, and then we will work to deliver on such orders, which would
be our first. We will also be performing internal research and development on materials and devices for our planned photodetector array
products. As part of this effort, we will be engaging foundries to develop a path toward building engineering samples and future production.
In parallel, we will continue to develop our manufacturing and product development strategy by further engaging customers and strategic
partners.
Limited Operating History
We cannot guarantee that the proceeds from the
Offering will be sufficient to carry out all of our business plans. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise,
including limited capital resources, risks inherent in the research and development process and possible rejection of our products in
development.
If financing is not available on satisfactory
terms, we may be unable to carry out all of our operations. Equity financing will result in dilution to existing stockholders.

Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak
On January 30, 2020,
the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on
March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions
on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and
actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of
many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While the closures and limitations on movement, domestically
and internationally, are expected to be temporary, if the outbreak continues on its current trajectory the duration of the supply chain
disruption could reduce the availability, or result in delays, of materials or supplies to and from the Company, which in turn could materially
interrupt the Company’s business operations. Given the speed and frequency of the continuously evolving developments with respect
to this pandemic, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude of the impact to its consolidated results of operations.
Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates
made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions,
including losses on inventory; impairment losses related to goodwill and other long-lived assets and current obligations.

Operating
Expenses: During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred $ 255,803 of
operating expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $2,992 of operating expenses. This increase was due to the
start up of operations and stock compensation expenses related to advisor agreements.
Sub-lease
rental income: During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net rental income of $ 90,758 and
none for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due the rental of our new facility and a related sub-lease to our tenant.
Interest
Expense: During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred $ 3,000 of
interest expenses, from none for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was due to net write-off of accrued interest expense.

Provision for income tax :
Provision for income tax was $800 and $816 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These expenses related to minimum
income tax requirements in California.
Net
Loss : Net loss increased to $ 217,203 for the six months ended June
30, 2021 as compared to $3,808 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 for the reasons described above.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our
financial statements have been presented on the basis that are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $ 217,203 and
$3,808 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, and losses are expected to continue in the near term. The
accumulated deficit is $ 230,922 and $3,760 at June 30, 2021 and June 30,
2020, respectively. We have been funding our operations through private loans and the sale of common stock in private placement transactions.
Refer to Notes 4 through 6 in the financial statements for our discussion
of notes payable and shares issued.
Management anticipates
that significant additional expenditures will be necessary to develop and expand our business before significant positive operating cash
flows can be achieved. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately
achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. At June 30, 2021, we had $6,787,250 of cash on hand; at June 30, 2020, we had
$38,302 of cash on hand. These funds are insufficient to complete our business plan and as a consequence, we will need to seek additional
funds, primarily through the issuance of debt or equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any
future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain
additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution
for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Management has undertaken
steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These
steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) controlling overhead and expenses; and (c) executing material
sales or research contracts. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that
the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional
financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. As of the date of this Report, we have not
entered into any formal agreements regarding the above.
In the event the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative,
nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
Cash, total current assets,
total assets, total current liabilities and total liabilities as of June 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2020, were as follows:

At
June 30, 2021, we had working capital of $ 7,185,135 compared to a working
capital deficit of $109,607 at June 30, 2020. Current assets increased to $ 7,472,235 at
June 30, 2021 from $38,302 at June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the private placement described above. Current liabilities increased
to $ 287,100 at June 30, 2021 from $147,909 at June 30, 2020, primarily
as a result of the facility lease agreement the Company entered into.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in operations of $ 68,394
was the result of the net loss in operations with a change in prepaids , offset
by a change in accounts payable and accrued expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in operations of $3,808 was
the result of bank charges on the business checking account.
Net
cash used in our investing activities were $ 27,253 and none for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Investing activity for the 2021 period related to the setup of our new facility.
Our
financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $ 6,844,595 for the six
months ended June 30, 2021, due to the offering described above. Financing activities generated $6,500 in cash for the six months ended
June 30 2020 due to shareholder loans,
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present
fairly the financial position at December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company
for the calendar years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020.
The summary of significant accounting policies
presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying
notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
Basic Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
17
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes
to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates.
To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), fair values is
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses the market or income approach. Based on this approach, the Company
utilizes certain assumptions about the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable,
market-corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is
required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and the
reliability of the information used to determine fair values. As a basis for considering these assumptions, ASC 820 defines a three-tier
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value.
Level 1 – Unadjusted
quoted prices in active, accessible market for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – Other inputs
that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace
Level 3 – Unobservable
inputs which are supported by little or no market activity
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity
to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The carrying values of the Company’s cash,
accounts payable, accrued expenses and advances from officers approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these
items. The carrying amounts reported for debt obligations approximate fair value due to the effective interest rate of these obligations
reflecting the Company’s current borrowing rate.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit
accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Property and Equipment
Property, equipment and improvements are reported
at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance to these assets are charged to expense as incurred; major improvements enhancing
the function and/or the asset’s useful life are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses arising from such transactions are recognized.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has one capitalized
construction in progress asset which will be used for the production of their sensors. The asset is not currently in use and will continue
to receive capitalized improvements until it is ready to use. Once commissioned and properly setup, the property and equipment will be
depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life.
18
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash in banks, deposits
in transit, and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts. The Company’s accounts are insured by the FDIC but at times may exceed federally insured limits.
Income Taxes
The Company is expected to have net operating
loss carryforwards that it can use to offset a certain amount of taxable income in the future. The Company is currently analyzing the
amount of loss carryforwards that will be available to reduce future taxable income. The resulting deferred tax assets will be offset
by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of its realization. The primary difference between income tax expense attributable to
continuing operations and the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory rates to income
before income taxes relates to the recognition of a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets.
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10, “ Income
Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements
and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not as a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a Company must determine whether it is more
likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must
assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties totaled $0 for periods presented. The Company’s net operating
loss carryforwards are subject to IRS examination until they are fully utilized, and such tax years are closed.
The Company will file tax returns in the U.S.
federal jurisdiction and the state of California. The Company’s federal and state return form are subject to review by the taxing
authorities. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority, nor has it been notified of an impending examination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to accounting principles are established
by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840)” and generally requires
all leases to be recognized in the balance sheet.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends certain aspects of the Board’s new revenue standard, ASU 2014-09, Revenue

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of our fiscal quarter ended June
30, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive
officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based
upon those evaluations, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021, to cause
the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Going forward from this filing, the Company intends
to work on establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls
and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have
been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can
occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
During the quarter covered by this Report, there
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
