Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that in light of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023. See material weaknesses discussed below in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. (b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditure are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As of September 30, 2023, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2023 due to the following identified material weaknesses: ● Our control environment is inadequate. We have no risk assessment procedures, no formal information or communication process, and no monitoring activities in place. Additionally, we lack policies that require formal written approval for related party transactions. ● We have not established and/or maintained adequately designed internal controls in order to prevent or detect and correct material misstatements to financial statements. We do not have controls in place to prevent individuals from manipulating financial data or entering inaccurate data into the accounting software, and there are no controls over the financial reporting close process. Additionally, we lack segregation of duties and review procedures to ensure our financial data is accurate. ● We lack the necessary accounting resources with sufficient SEC reporting experience, US GAAP knowledge and accounting experience. We also lack the resources to properly account for complex debt and equity transactions and are unable to analyze such transactions timely or in sufficient detail. 16 Management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2023 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP. (c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting During the fourth quarter of 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are no 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, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgements in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act that permanently exempted smaller reporting companies from the auditor attestation requirement.

Possumato conceived of DriveItAway in 2017, while at Automotive Mobile Solutions LLC, a technology company he founded and led as CEO in 2012, to adapt new mobile marketing innovations to automotive retailers. He is also an attorney, a graduate of the Law School at the University of Pennsylvania (J.D.) and the Wharton School of Business (B.S.), is a member of the Bar of the State of Pennsylvania, was a Wharton School Entrepreneur in Residence, University City Science Center OnRamp Founder in Residence, a founding Board member of the International Automotive Remarketers Alliance, and past Counsel to the Board of Directors of the Automotive Fleet and Leasing Association.

In 2011, he founded and became CEO of Minds’ Eye Innovations, which provided ride sharing software to taxi companies to compete against Uber and Lyft. He helped to grow the company to service over 70 taxi companies processing 10,000+ orders per day. Mr. Potash later joined a ride share start-up called Leap that was assembled by former management members of Gett Taxi (3 rd largest ride share company in NYC) and became the CTO helping the team bring to market a new ride share concept. In 2019, Potash became COO of DIA, helping DIA launch its “Pay As You Go” car ownership program, where he continues to lead product development and operations. He is a graduate of Villanova University. Mike Elkin became the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on October 1, 2020. Mr. Elkin has over 20 years of experience as a controller and financial manager. His experience includes providing financial and accounting advice to REIT’s, non-profits and turnaround situations in the manufacturing, distribution and service company sectors.

Mr. Elkin has been recognized by the Jacksonville Business Journal as CFO of the year. He was also honored by the Jacksonville Jewish Journal for Social Action Work in the community. None of the directors and executive officers has been involved in any legal proceedings as listed in Regulation S-K, Item 401(f). Term of Office Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our Bylaws and the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our directors hold office after the expiration of his or her term until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her resignation, death, or removal in accordance with our Bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors at any time for any reason. 18 Family Relationships There are no family relationships between or among any of our directors or executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers. Director Independence Our board of directors has reviewed the independence of our directors and has determined that no director qualifies as an independent director pursuant to Rule 5605(a)(2) of Nasdaq and applicable SEC rules and regulations. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each of our directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence. Board Committees Our board of directors has no separately designated committees and our board members carry out the functions of both an audit committee and a compensation committee. We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our board of directors. Due to our limited financial resources, we are not in a position to retain an independent director with the qualifications to serve as an audit committee financial expert at this time. Audit Committee Financial Expert The Board has determined that it does not have an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC rules. Code of Ethics The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its principal executive, financial and accounting officers and persons performing similar functions, as well as all directors and employees of the Company. Communication with the Board Our stockholders and other interested parties may send written communications directly to the Board or to specified individual directors, including the Chairman or any other non-management directors, by sending such communications to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, P.O. Box 4502, Boise, Idaho 83711. Such communications will be reviewed by our outside legal counsel and, depending on the content, will be: ● forwarded to the addressees or distributed at the next scheduled board meeting; ● if they relate to financial or accounting matters, forwarded to the audit committee or distributed at the next scheduled audit committee meeting; ● if they relate to executive officer compensation matters, forwarded to the compensation committee or discussed at the next scheduled compensation committee meeting; ● if they relate to the recommendation of the nomination of an individual, forwarded to the full Board or discussed at the next scheduled Board meeting; or ● if they relate to our operations, forwarded to the appropriate officers of our company, and the response or other handling of such communications reported to the Board at the next scheduled board meeting. If multiple communications are received on a similar topic, the Secretary may, in his discretion, forward only representative correspondence. Any communications that are abusive, in bad taste or present safety or security concerns may be handled differently. 19 Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, executive officer and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports or changes in ownership of such equity securities. Such persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based upon a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during the year ended September 30, 2022, none of our executive officers, directors or beneficial owners of more than 10% of any class of registered equity security failed to file on a timely basis any such report. Item 11. Executive Compensation The following identifies the elements of compensation for the fiscal years 2022 and 2021 with respect to our “named executive officers,” which term is defined by Item 402 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K to include (i) all individuals serving as our principal executive officer at any time during fiscal year 2021, (ii) our two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer who were serving as executive officers at September 30, 2022 and whose total compensation (excluding nonqualified deferred compensation earnings) exceeded $100,000, and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided pursuant to the foregoing item (ii) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of the Company at September 30, 2021.

Narrative Disclosure of Compensation Policies and Practices as They Relate to Our Risk Management We believe that our compensation policies and practices for all employees and other individual service providers, including executive officers, do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year-End None of the named executive officers have any unvested equity awards or unexercised options in the Company as of September 30, 2023. 20 Employee Benefit Plans and Pension Benefits The Company does not provide its officers or employees with pension, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive or other plans.

However, we reimburse our directors for reasonable travel and other related expenses. None of our directors received any director compensation during the year ended September 30, 2023. Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters The following table sets forth, as of January 9, 2024, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) each person known by us to own beneficially five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding shares of each class, (ii) each of our directors and named executive officers, and (iii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group. The number of shares beneficially owned by each 5% stockholder, director or executive officer is determined under the rules of the Securities & Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares that the individual or entity has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right, or the conversion of any security. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity has sole voting and investment power (or shares such power with his or her spouse) with respect to the shares set forth in the following table. The inclusion in the table below of any shares deemed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence Related Party Convertible Notes Payable On September 13, 2019, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Driveitaway, LLC, a company controlled by John Possumato, the Company’s CEO, for $30,000, with a maturity date of September 13, 2022. On October 13 and October 14, 2020, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes to Driveitaway, LLC and Adam Potash, the Company’s COO, for $25,000 each, which mature on October 13 and 14, 2022, respectively. On December 24, 2020, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Adam Potash, for $15,000, which matures on December 24, 2022. Each of the notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The notes automatically convert into preferred stock of DIA in the event DIA raises at least $1,000,000 by the issuance of preferred stock prior to the maturity dates of the notes (a “Qualified Financing”). In the event DIA enters into a financing that is not a Qualified Financing prior to the maturity dates of the notes, the holders have the right to convert their notes into the class and series of equity securities offered in the non-Qualified Financing at the offer price thereof. In the event DIA effects a change of control, the holders have the option of converting their notes into common stock in order to participate in the change of control or accelerating the maturity date and receiving cash at the time of the change of control. At the closing of the Share Exchange on February 24, 2022, the holders of the related party Convertible Promissory Notes agreed to convert all of the principal and interest of $104,564 due under the notes into 52,284 shares of DIA common stock, which was automatically converted into 52,284 shares of Series A Preferred. During the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded interest expense for related parties of $4,918 and $2,296, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accrued interest owed to related parties of $4,918 and $0, respectively. Advances and Repayments In the normal course of business, the Company’s management team or their affiliates will make payments on behalf of the Company or will provide short-term advances to the Company to cover operating expenses. During the year ended September 30, 2023, related parties made payments on the Company’s behalf or provided short-term advances to the Company totaling $26,460 and the Company made repayments to related parties of $1,460. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company owed related parties $25,080 and $80, respectively, for this activity. Director Independence Our current Board consists of John Possumato, and Adam Potash. Our common stock is currently quoted on the over-the-counter market. Since the over-the-counter market does not have its own rules for director independence, we use the definition of independence established by the NASDAQ Stock Market. Under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if none of the following conditions existed throughout the year (a) was employed by us, (b) received more than $120,000 in compensation from us, other than for board services, (c) had a family member who was employed as an executive officer of us, (d) was, or had a family member that was, a partner, controlling shareholder or executive officer of any organization that received payments for property or services that exceeded the greater of 5% of the recipient’s gross revenues or $200,000, (e) was, or had a family member that was, employed as an executive officer of another entity during the past three years where any of the executive officers of us serve on the compensation committee, or (f) was, or had a family member that was, a partner in our auditor at any time in the past three years. At this time, we have determined that we have no independent directors. The Board does not currently have any committees. The Board has approved the formation of an Audit Committee, and an Audit Committee charter, but no members currently serve on the Audit Committee. The independent directors perform the functions of the Audit Committee. 22 Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Tax services include all services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm’s tax personnel for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. (4) All other Fees . All other fees are those services and/or travel expenses not described in the other categories.
