Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed
with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form
10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure
controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As the Company is a shell company with no or nominal business operations, Mr. Jacobs would immediately become aware of matters that would
require disclosure under the Exchange Act.
In connection with the preparation of this Form
10-K, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based
on that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective,
as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K.

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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent
limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2022. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting
described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting
and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its
assessment with our Board of Directors.
Based on this assessment, management believes that
the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include
an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm, regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Our
internal control over financial reporting was not subject to such attestation as we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined
by Item 10 of Regulation S-K.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange
Act that occurred during the period covered by this 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control
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. Because of the inherent
limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a
company have been detected.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.
Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign
Jurisdictions That Prevent Inspections.

Significant Employees
None.
Family Relationships
None.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There have been no events under any bankruptcy
act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity
of any director, executive officer, promoter or control person of the Company during the past ten years.
15
Committees
The Company does not have any standing committees.
Conflicts of Interest
There are no binding guidelines or procedures
for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the Company could result
in liability of management to the Company. However, any attempt by stockholders to enforce a liability of management to the Company would
most likely be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.
Code of Ethics
The Company, as of this time, has not adopted
a Code of Ethics pursuant to rules described in Regulation S-K. The Company has two persons who are the only stockholders and who serve
as the directors and officers. The Company has no operations or business and does not receive any revenues or investment capital. The
adoption of a Code of Ethics at this time would not serve the primary purpose of such a code to provide a manner of conduct as the development,
execution and enforcement of such a code would be by the same persons and only persons to whom such code applied. Furthermore, because
the Company does not have any activities, there are no activities or transactions which would be subject to this code. At the time the
Company enters into a business combination, the current officers and directors will recommend to any new management that such a code be
adopted. The Company does not maintain an Internet website on which to post a code of ethics.
Corporate Governance
For reasons similar to those described above,
the Company does not have a nominating nor audit committee of the board of directors. At this time, the Company consists of two stockholders
who serve as the corporate directors and officers. The Company has no activities and receives no revenues. At such time that the Company
enters into a business combination and/or has additional stockholders and a larger board of directors and commences activities, the Company
will propose creating committees of its board of directors, including both a nominating and an audit committee. Because there are only
two stockholders of the Company, there is no established process by which stockholders to the Company can nominate members to the Company’s
board of directors. Similarly, however, at such time as the Company has more stockholders and an expanded board of directors, the new
management of the Company may review and implement, as necessary, procedures for stockholder nomination of members to the Company’s
board of directors.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
The following table sets forth the cash and other

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence.
On December 10, 2021, the Company issued (i) an
aggregate of 4,750,000 shares of Common Stock to Mark Tompkins, a director of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price equal to $475
representing amounts advanced by Mr. Tompkins to counsel for the Company in connection with the formation and organization of the Company
and (ii) an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock to Ian Jacobs, an officer and director of the Company, for an aggregate cash purchase
price equal to $25, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with each person. The Company
issued these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
On December 10, 2021, in connection with advances
made in connection with costs incurred by the Company, the Company issued a promissory note to Mark Tompkins, a stockholder and director
of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay Mr. Tompkins the sum of any and all amounts that Mr. Tompkins may advance
to the Company on or before the date that the Company consummates a business combination with a private company or reverse takeover transaction
or other transaction after which the Company would cease to be a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). The
Company has used the proceeds from the note to cover its expenses. Although Mr. Tompkins has no obligation to advance funds to the Company
under the terms of the note, it is anticipated that he may advance funds to the Company as fees and expenses are incurred in the future.
As a result, the Company issued the note in anticipation of such advances. Interest shall not accrue on the outstanding principal amount
of the note except if an Event of Default (as defined in the note) has occurred. In the event of an Event of Default, the entire note
shall automatically become due and payable (the “Default Date”), and starting from five (5) days after the Default Date, the
interest rate on the note shall accrue at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. As of December 31, 2022, the total amount due
under the note was $52,025.
The Company currently uses the office space and
equipment of its management at no cost.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Surfside Acquisition, Inc.
Boca Raton, Florida
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Surfside Acquisition,
Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit,
and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In
our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from
inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these
matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit
of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors Surfside Acquisition Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet
of Surfside Acquisition Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from December 10, 2021 (Inception) through December 31, 2021, and the related

respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
period from December 10, 2021 (Inception) through December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
Note 1. Nature of Operations
Surfside Acquisition Inc, (the “Company”)
was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 10, 2021. The Company’s management has chosen December 31st for its fiscal
year end.
The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate
and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly traded
corporation. The Company’s principal business objective is to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business,
rather than immediate short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential target companies to any specific business, industry,
or geographical location. The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, the officer and directors
of the Company.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ( “GAAP” ).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company adopted ASC 740, “Income
Taxes” , at its inception. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry-forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected
to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income
tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred
tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets
are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest
and penalties as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant
payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
F- 8
Loss per Common Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into effect any dilutive instruments, except
when doing so would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no dilutive instruments.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As
such, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other
public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with
the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in the Company’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding
advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors
find the securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for securities and the prices of securities
may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also
provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)
of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards (that is, an “emerging growth company” can delay
the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies). The Company intends to
take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
Additionally, the Company is a “smaller
reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced
disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. The Company will remain
a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of the ordinary shares held by non-affiliates
equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed
fiscal year or the market value of the ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3. Capital Stock
Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $ 0.0001 , authorized and none issued or outstanding.
Common Stock
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
has 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $ 0.0001 , authorized and has issued 5,000,000 shares of its $ 0.0001 par value common
stock for $ 500 to the founders of the Company.
F- 9
Note 4. Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
has approximately $ 13,100 and $ 2,700 in gross deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry-forwards of $ 62,300 and $ 12,900 ,
respectively, available to offset future taxable income through 2041 subject to the change in ownership provisions under IRC 382. A valuation
allowance has been recorded to fully offset these deferred tax assets because the Company’s management believes future realization
of the related tax benefits is uncertain.
The difference between the tax provision at the
statutory federal income tax rate on December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the tax provisions attributable to loss before income taxes is as
follows:
2022
2021
Statutory federal income taxes

Note 5. Commitments and Related Party Transactions
Office Space
The Company utilizes the office space and equipment of its management
at no cost.
Note Payable - Stockholder
On December 10, 2021, the Company issued a promissory
note (the “Note”) to a stockholder of the Company pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay the sum of any and all amounts
advanced to the Company, on or before the date that the Company consummates a business combination with a private company or reverse takeover
transaction or other transaction after which the Company would cease to be a shell company. The Note is non-interest bearing unless an
event of default occurs. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the amount due under the note payable was $ 52,025 and $ 12,025 , respectively.
Note 6. Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred losses from
inception of $ 62,326 and has a stockholders’ deficit of $ 61,826 as of December 31, 2022. Management believes these conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date
these financial statements are issued. Management intends to finance operations over the next twelve months through additional
borrowings from the existing Note.
The accompanying financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 7. COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization
officially declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 a “pandemic.” A significant outbreak of COVID-19 and other
infectious diseases has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has significantly adversely affected businesses of all types, economies
and financial markets worldwide. The business of any potential target company with which the Company consummates a business combination
could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, the Company may be unable to complete a business combination if continued concerns
relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel,
vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19
impacts our search for a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted,
including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact,
among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, the Company’s
ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a business
combination, may be materially adversely affected.
