Aeluma, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
as
of March 31, 2022 and 2021
NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY
Aeluma is headquartered in Goleta, 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 and consumer, defense and aerospace, industrial, medical, auto) and LiDAR (robotic vehicles, advanced driver assistance
systems vehicles (ADAS), 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 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 continued 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. Biond Photonics was incorporated in
February 2019.
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.
6
The Merger was treated as a recapitalization and
reverse acquisition 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.
Change of Fiscal Year
On June 30, 2021, we changed our fiscal year
from the period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 to the period beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30
of each year.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements have been presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
for interim financial information and the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include
all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements as of March 31,
2022 and 2021, are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management such interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.
The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s
most recent Transition Report on Form 10-KT, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 27,
2021. The results of operations for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future
interim periods or for the full year.
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 $ 2,140,722
for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. 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 shares of the legal acquirer. No shares were issued until October 2020.
7
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 value 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. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the remaining lease term. 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.
8
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are associated with the Aeluma.com
domain name and are amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years .
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
arrangements in accordance with guidance issued by the FASB, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for
all share-based payment awards made to employees, consultants, and directors based on estimated fair values.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based
compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected
to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of operations. The Company estimates
the fair value of stock-based compensation awards using the Black-Scholes model. This model requires the Company to estimate the expected
volatility and value of its common stock and the expected term of the stock options, all of which are highly complex and subjective variables.
For employees and directors, the expected life was calculated based on the simplified method as described by the SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 110, Share-Based Payment. For other service providers, the expected life was calculated using the contractual term of the
award. The Company’s estimate of expected volatility was based on the volatility of peers. The Company has selected a risk-free
rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity equivalent to the expected term of the options.
We account for forfeitures upon occurrence.
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 period ended June 30,
2021. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 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.

50,000,000 shares of $ 0.0001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 of $ 0.0001 par value preferred stock. No preferred shares were issued
as of March 31, 2022.
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 (the “Offering”)
at a purchase price of $ 2.00 per share (the “Offering Price”). We held a second and third closing on June 28 and July 1
2021, for an additional 402,500 and 115,000 , respectively, of shares of common stock. Accordingly, we sold a total of 4,000,000 shares
of our common stock through March 31, 2022. The private placement offering is referred to herein as the “Offering.”
The aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering
during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 were $ 206,930 , which is net of offering placement agent fees and expenses. We also paid additional
offering costs totaling $ 45,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.
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.

issued 1,623,920 shares of common stock to Director and CEO Jonathan Klamkin and 1,623,920 shares of common stock to Director, interim
CFO and COO, Lee McCarthy for an aggregate sum of $10,000 each. The stock purchase agreement contains a repurchase option whereby unvested
shares may be repurchased by the Company, at the Company’s option, within 90 days after employee termination. 324,784 shares vested
on October 27 th , 2020 and the remaining 1,299,136 shares vest in equal amounts, monthly over the subsequent 4 years. On

the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the Company fails to file with the Commission the Registration Statement on or before
the Registration Filing Date; (b) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or before the Registration
Effectiveness Date; (c) after the SEC Effective Date, the Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain effective or the Holders

the Company or its affiliates or of the Approved Market not reasonably in the control of the Company, or (B) suspension or halt of substantially
all trading in equity securities (including the Common Stock) on the Approved Market). The maximum amount of liquidated damages that may
be paid by the Company shall be an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the shares covered by the registration rights agreement. This
filing covered 11,010,002 shares. The Company currently expects to satisfy all of its obligations under the Registration Agreement and
does not expect to pay any damages pursuant to this agreement; therefore, no liability has been recorded.

NOTE 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During fiscal 2021, the Company sold 723,008 shares
of common stock to certain individuals in exchange for future management advisory services, for discounted prices price ranging from $.0104 to
$.0195 per share. The shares are subject to restrictions that allow for repurchase of the shares by the Company due to a termination
of the service agreement or other certain provisions. This repurchase right declines on a pro-rata basis over vesting periods (corresponding
to the service period) ranging from 2 - 4 years. Related to these issuances, the Company has recorded deferred stock-based compensation
of $ 1,372,435 for the value of the shares in excess of the purchase price paid by the advisors. The stock-based compensation will
be expensed over the service period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, $ 497,303 has been amortized in the Statement of Operations,
and $ 838,660 is presented as deferred compensation on the balance sheet at March 31, 2022, of which $ 662,464 is expected to be expensed
in the next twelve months.
In July of 2021, the Company issued an option
to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock to a director at a price of $2.00 per share, expiring in 10 years, and an option to purchase
10,000 shares of common stock to an advisor at a price of $2.00 per share expiring in 5 years. These options vested over periods ranging
from one month to three months.
In December of 2021, the Company issued options
to purchase common stock to two directors in increments of 125,000 each. The options have an exercise price of $2.00, expire in 10 years,
vest 12,500 options per quarter in the first year and 9,375 per quarter for the following two years. In February of 2022, the company

NOTE
5 – FACILITY OPERATING LEASE
On April 1, 2021, the Company commenced a 5-year
operating lease for a facility in Santa Barbara, California with total lease payments of $781,813. The Company determined the lease
constitutes a Right of Use (ROU) asset and has recorded the present value of the lease payments as an asset and liability per ASC 842.
The value of the asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the 60-month period and amortization began at the start of the
lease. Additionally, the lease agreement waived the first three months of rent with payments commencing July 2021. At the commencement
of the lease, the net present value of the lease payments was 767,553 In addition to these lease payments, the Company is also responsible
for its shares of common area operating expenses and electricity. Such expenses are considered variable costs and are not included in
the measurement of the lease liability. The lease agreement also provides for the option to extend the lease for two additional sixty-month
periods. The lease payments for these additional periods are not included in the lease liability amount presented on the balance sheet.

AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The following information should be read in conjunction
with Aeluma, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) unaudited
financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Information in this Item 2, “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q that does not consist
of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements.” Statements accompanied or qualified by, or containing words such as
“may,” “will,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,”
“projects,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “outlook,” “forecast,”
“anticipates,” “presume,” and “assume” constitute forward-looking statements, and as such, are not
a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result
of the factors described in the “Risk Factors” and detailed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
filings. Risks and uncertainties can include, among others, international, national and local general economic and market conditions:
demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully
make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations
and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers
or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business
disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to obtain sufficient financing to continue and expand
business operations; the ability to develop technology and products; changes in technology and the development of technology and intellectual
property by competitors; the ability to protect technology and develop intellectual property; and other factors referenced in this and
previous filings. Consequently, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results.
Because of these risks and uncertainties, the
forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report or incorporated by reference might not transpire. You should review
the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” in other filings we make with the SEC for a discussion of important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained
in the following discussion and analysis.
The Company disclaims any obligation to update
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 4,100,002 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.
14
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 were 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.
We develop 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 pictures. Our devices may incorporate
additional functionality for 3D image capture when integrated into various system architectures. This technology has the potential to
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, an MOCVD tool, and has headquarters in Goleta, CA with a manufacturing cleanroom
to house this equipment.
The Offering
Immediately following 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 and final close on July 1, 2021 for an additional 115,000. 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 three closings
of the Offering were $8,000,000 (before deducting placement agent fees and expenses of the Offering of $1,082,575).
The three closings of the Offering were 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 (other than the first $630,000
of common stock sold to pre-Merger Biond Photonics shareholders and their friends and family, for which the Placement Agent received a
3% cash fee, and $170,000 of common stock sold to pre-Merger Biond Photonics friends and family for which the Placement Agent received
no cash fee) 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), 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.
15
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 two closings of the Offering. We have also reimbursed the Placement Agent for
approximately $265,000 of legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the Offering.
Subject to certain customary exceptions, we 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.
Plan of Operations
We have been developing our materials and characterization
capabilities at our headquarters in Goleta, CA, in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our
plan of operations. We have installed some key manufacturing equipment at our headquarters and will continue to develop relationships
with manufacturing partners to carry out certain steps of our manufacturing processes externally. We have gained access to a rapid prototyping
facility and are leveraging this access to fabricate early-stage prototypes. In the future, we intend to implement appropriate quality
and manufacturing controls. Some equipment was procured previously, and other equipment is being procured through purchase orders
with equipment vendors. Spare parts have also been procured to ensure minimal disruptive to our development. The primary sources of funding
for equipment procurement and installation are the seed funding raised prior to becoming a public company and the funding raised from
our financing during June/July of 2021. We have also leveraged funds to continue strengthening our intellectual property including patent
applications, trademarks, development of trade secrets and manufacturing process recipes.
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.
Change of Fiscal Year
On June 30, 2021, we changed our fiscal year
from the period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 to the period beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30
of each year.
Results of Operations
Nine months ended March 31, 2022 compared

Our results of operations for the nine-month period
ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021, were as follows (some balances on the prior

Net Revenues : We are pre-revenue and, accordingly
recorded no revenues for either the nine months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.
Operating Expenses : During the nine months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $2,370,006 and $23,325 of operating expenses, respectively. This increase was due to the
start-up of operations and stock compensation expenses related to advisor agreements.
Sub-lease rental income and other income:
During the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded net rental and other income of $229,284 and $0, respectively.
The increase was due to the rental of our new facility and a related sub-lease to our tenant.
Provision for income tax : The Company recorded
no provision for income tax for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and $800 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.
Net Loss : Net loss increased to $2,140,722
for the nine months ended March 31,2022, as compared to $24,125 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 for start-up of operations
and stock compensation expenses related to advisor agreements.
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 $2,140,722 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022
and losses are expected to continue in the near term. The accumulated deficit was $2,371,507. We have been funding our operations through
private loans and the sale of common stock in private placement transactions.
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 March 31, 2022, we had $4,815,842 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 March 31, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021, were as follows:

At March 31, 2022, we had working capital
of $5,166,427 compared to working capital of $7,185,135 at June 30, 2021. Current assets decreased to $5,584,921 at March 31,
2022 from $7,472,235 at June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the start-up of operations. Current liabilities increased to $418,494
at March 31, 2022 from $287,100 at June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the timing of accounts payable.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2022,
net cash used by operations was $1,416,839 and was the result of the net loss from operations, and changes in accounts payable, offset
by changes in other current assets. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 net cash used in operations was $79,163.
Net cash used in our investing activities was
$716,499 and $109,684 for the nine months ended March 31,2022 and 2021, respectively. Investing activity for the 2022 period related
to the setup of our new facility.
Our financing activities generated a cash inflow
of $161,930 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, due to the offering described above. In the nine months ended March 31,
2021, financing activities netted $344,402 from Founder loans and SAFE Notes.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance
with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses in the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions
on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses
that are not readily apparent from other sources. We continually review the estimates and underlying assumptions to ensure they are appropriate
for the circumstances. Accounting assumptions and estimates are inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially from our
estimates.
A summary of our other critical accounting policies
is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Transition
Report on Form 10-KT for the period ended June 30, 2021. During the nine months ended March 31,2022, there were no significant
changes in our critical accounting policies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements,
financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities”
(SPEs).
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the nine-month period ended March 31,
2022, 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 March 31, 2022 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.
18
Going forward from this filing, the Company intends
to work on 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.
