CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain
information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere herein, may address or relate to future events and expectations and,
as such, constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Statements
which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial
condition, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to us and our management and their interpretation
of what is believed to be significant factors affecting our business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Such forward-looking
statements include statements regarding, among other things:
●
our
ability to implement our current stated business plans;
●
our
ability to retain key members of our management team;
●
our
future financing or acquisition plans and our ability to consummate any such transactions on favorable terms if at all ;
●
our
anticipated needs for working capital; and
●
our
ability to establish a market for our common stock and operate as a public company.
Forward-looking
statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use
of the words “may,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “scheduled,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” or “project”
or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Actual results, performance, liquidity,
financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those
expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Readers
should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, we undertake
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed
circumstances or any other reason.

Note
1 – Organization and Accounting Policies
ORGANIZATION
AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CalEthos,
Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated on March 20, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The
Company is implementing its plan to build a clean-energy-powered data center operation using the latest energy-efficient building materials
and cooling technologies and to provide wholesale colocation services to enterprise IT and hyperscale customers. In addition, the Company
may acquire assets and all or part of other companies operating in the high-density computing industry or invest in or joint venture
with other more-established companies already in the industry that would add value to the Company’s business strategy.
As
of July 2022, the Company’s board of directors resolved to focus exclusively on developing a clean-energy-powered data center.
Korean
entity
On
November 5, 2021, AIQ System Inc. (“AIQ”) was incorporated in Seoul, Republic of Korea. AIQ is authorized to issue 3 million
shares of common stock. At the date of incorporation, 10,000 shares were issued to the Company for 100,000,000 Korean Won, or approximately
$ 89,000 , for 100 % ownership of AIQ.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2022
condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required
by GAAP. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future period.
These
unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial
Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed
with the SEC on April 17, 2023.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
The
Company incurred a net loss of approximately $ 514,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 15,164,000
as of September 30, 2023 and had no
recurring revenue from operation. The Company has financed its activities principally through debt and equity financing and
shareholder contributions. Management expects to incur additional losses and cash outflows in the foreseeable future in connection
with its operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern for one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
The
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The
Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other similar stage companies, including dependence on key individuals; successful
development, marketing and branding of services; the uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues; dependence on outside
sources of financing; risks associated with research and development; dependence on third-party suppliers and collaborators; protection
of intellectual property; and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations
is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fund the Company’s operations and generating a level of revenues adequate
to support the Company’s cost structure.
5
The
Company will need to raise debt or equity financing in the future in order to continue its operations and achieve its growth
targets. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms,
when and if needed, or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and
will depend on a number of factors, including the development of the Company’s data center campus development, approvals for
construction permits, construction times, delivery of critical equipment, market demand for the Company’s wholesale colocation
data center services, the timing of customer commitments for data center space, the management of working capital, and payment terms
and conditions for purchase of the Company’s services. The Company believes its cash balances and cash flow from operations
will not be sufficient to fund its operations and growth for the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial
statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding from investors or through other avenues, it may not be able to
continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
COVID-19
The
continuing COVID-19 global pandemic has caused significant disruption to the economy and financial markets globally, and the full extent
of the potential impacts of COVID-19 are not yet known. Circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are complex, uncertain and rapidly
evolving. The impact of COVID-19 has not been significant to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity
and capital resources. Although no material impairment or other effects have been identified to date, there is substantial uncertainty
in the nature and degree of its continued effects over time. That uncertainty affects management’s accounting estimates and assumptions,
which could result in greater variability in a variety of areas that depend on these estimates and assumptions as additional events and
information become known. The Company will continue to consider the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business operations.

Company uses ASC 260, “ Earnings Per Share ” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company
computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock
options and warrants and stock awards. For periods with a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share is the same, in that any potential
common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share.
Securities
that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Common share equivalents amounted to
14,495,621 as of September 30, 2023.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company’s management reviewed all recently issued accounting standard updates (“ASU’s”) not yet adopted by the
Company and does not believe the future adoptions of any such ASU’s may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial condition or the results of its operations.

2 – Data Center Costs
DATA
CENTER COSTS
On
March 30, 2023, the Company signed an option agreement to acquire 80 acres of commercially-zoned land in Imperial County, California
(the “Option”) for $ 3,360,000 (“Purchase Price”). The Option expires in September 2024. The Company paid a non-refundable
deposit of $ 84,000 on the signing of the Option, which has been recognized as other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company is required to deposit an additional $ 84,000 into escrow (“Escrow Funds”) within 10 days after the execution
of the purchase agreement. As of the issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the escrow had not been set
up. Once the escrow is set up, the Company will deposit the $ 84,000 . If the Company does not exercise the Option by September 2024, the
Escrow funds will be returned to the Company.
6
The
Purchase Price is payable with a cash payment of $ 1,680,000 and the issuance of 840,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the
“Purchase Shares”). At the closing of the purchase (“Closing Date”), if the stock is trading at a value less
than $ 1.00 per share, the Company is required to issue a promissory note in the amount of $ 840,000 , payable on the third anniversary
of the closing date, with an interest rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 2.0 %.
If
the Purchase Shares are issued at the Closing Date, the Company has agreed to repurchase the Purchase Shares (the “Put Option”)
under specific circumstances. However, the Put Option expires if the Company’s common stock trades above $2.00 per share for 120
consecutive days. If the Company’s common stock trades below $2.00 per share for 10 consecutive days, the Holder has the option
for the Company to repurchase the Purchase Shares for $2.00 per share.
As
of September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred costs of approximately $ 1,232,000
for the development of the Data Center and has capitalized approximately $ 113,000
of interest expense related to the convertible promissory notes.
On
June 23, 2023, the Company signed a contract with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide site assessment and feasibility to connect critical
resources for data center operations and develop a shovel-ready development plan for the Company’s initial 80-acre site. The Company
completed this development phase in October 2023 with an estimated cost of approximately $ 525,000 .

Employment
Agreement
In
June 2023, the Company executed an employment agreement (“Employment Agreement”) to employ an individual to be the Company’s
President and Chief Operating Officer (“Executive”). As compensation for services rendered, the Executive will be paid a
base salary of $ 250,000 per annum. The Executive’s base salary may be increased as certain milestones are met, such as 1) when
the necessary governmental permits are granted to start construction of the Data Center, 2) once the Data Center is operational and at
least 25% of the planned MW’s of collation capacity is leased. Also, at the discretion of the Company, following each calendar
year of continued employment, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a discretionary bonus of up to fifty percent ( 50%) of Executive’s
base salary during the first year of employment, up to seventy-five percent (75%) of Executive’s then-current base salary during
the second year of employment, and up to one-hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s then-current base salary during Executive’s
third year of employment (the “Bonus”). Payment of the Bonus will be based on achieving certain goals and performance criteria
established by the Company . In addition, the Executive was granted options to purchase 600,000 and 1,900,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock (see Note 7 – Stockholders Deficit) for further information.
The
Employment Agreement also provides for certain severance benefits upon termination by the Company without “cause” or by the
Executive for good reason. In the event of a termination by the Company without cause or by the Executive for good reason after the first
full year of employment, the Executive would be entitled to (i) continued payment of the base salary for the lesser of six months or
the remaining term of the Employment Agreement, subject to the Executive signing a timely and effective separation agreement containing
a release of all claims against the Company and other customary terms; provided, however, that if such termination is between the 91 st
day and the end of the first year of employment, the Executive will be entitled to a pro-rata portion of such payment.

Stock
options
As
part of the Employment Agreement, as defined in Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies, the executive was granted an incentive
stock option (“Incentive Option”) and a non-qualified stock option (“Non-Qual Option”) (collectively “Stock
Options”) to purchase 600,000 and 1,900,000 , respectively, shares of the Company’s common stock for $ 0.50 per share. The
Stock Options are exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of grant, which was June 19, 2023 (“Grant Date”).
The
Incentive Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock shall vest
and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the Grant Date; (ii) options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock shall
vest and become exercisable on the second anniversary of the Grant Date; and (iii) options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Common
Stock shall vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date; provided that the Optionee is an employee in good
standing with the Company on such applicable vesting date. The Incentive Option Grant Date fair value of $ 600,000 was calculated using
the Black Scholes fair value option-pricing model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance: volatility
of 339 %, the fair value of common stock $ 0.50 , estimated life of 5 years, risk-free rate of 3.99 % and dividend rate of $ 0 . For the nine
months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $ 221,000 was earned. Of the amount earned of $ 221,000 approximately $ 166,000 was capitalized
as date center cost and the remaining $ 55,000 was expensed as stock-based compensation.
9
The
Non-Qual Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows:
(1)
216,666
shares on each of the first two anniversaries of the Grant Date and 216,668 shares on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, provided
that the Optionee is an employee or Board member in good standing with the Company on such applicable vesting date.
(2)
the
remaining 1,250,000 shares based on the Company completing the following milestones:
a.
250,000
shares upon completion of the initial site development plan and Data Center design, and submission of a complete set of plans to
Imperial County Planning and Development Department for approvals and permits.
b.
250,000
shares upon the Company receiving permits necessary to start construction of the data center site and facilities (including but not
limited to power substation, water delivery, pumping, storage and on-site distribution systems, fiber conduit lines and communications
systems, and on-site roads, water, power and communications grid, warehousing, offices, administration, support and security buildings,
perimeter walls and security systems).
c.
250,000
shares upon the completion of construction of a complete data center facility and receipt of an occupancy permit for such facility,
either for a Data Center facility to be built as a “build to suit” building for a hyperscale company or as a wholesale
colocation building for enterprise IT customers.
d.
500,000
shares upon signing a build-to-suit contract or one or more contracts being signed for 50% or more of a constructed and operational
wholesale colocation facility’s capacity.
The
Company’s management has accounted for the Non-Qual Option in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).
ASC 718 requires the Company to estimate the service period over which the compensation cost will be recognized. Management has estimated
that the first development phase (a) will be completed by March 31, 2024, the second development phase (b) by September 30, 2024, the
third development phase (c) by March 31, 2025 and the fourth development phase by September 30, 2025. The estimated service period will
be adjusted for actual and expected completion date changes. Any such change will be recognized prospectively, and the remaining deferred
compensation will be recognized over the remaining service period.
The
Non-Qual Option Grant Date fair value of $ 550,000 was calculated using the Black Scholes fair value option-pricing model with key input
variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance: volatility range of 137 % to 176 %, the fair value of common stock $ 0.50 ,
estimated life range of 3.9 years to 4.5 years, risk-free rate range of 4.7 % to 5.2 % and dividend rate of $ 0 . For the three months ended
September 30, 2023, the Company recorded compensation expenses of approximately $ 18,000 .
As
of September 30, 2023, the Company had 2,500,000 stock options outstanding, of which all were unvested, with weighted average remaining
life, strike price and grant date fair value of 7 years, $ 0.50 and $ 0.47 , respectively, and intrinsic value of nil.
Warrants
During
the nine months ending September 30, 2023, 89,804 warrants expired. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining outstanding balance of warrants
was 1,678,500 , with a weighted average exercise price of $ 1.86 , average remaining life of 0.39 years, weighed average grant date fair
value of approximately $ 0.47 .

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements and related notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2022.
This
discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain
events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but
not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”
Plan
of Operations
As
of the filing of this Report, it is our plan to continue our focus on building a large-scale, clean-energy-powered, data center operation
using the latest energy-efficient cooling technologies and to provide wholesale colocation services to enterprise IT and hyperscale customers.
To implement this plan, we have optioned 80 acres of land for the initial phase of development and contracted HDR Engineering, Inc.,
a data center architect and engineering firm (“HDR”), to provide master planning services that include site feasibility and
a shovel-ready site development plan. In addition, we are having on-going discussions and negotiations to acquire clean energy from the
local power utility and nearby geothermal power plants and solar farms and contracting a network engineering firm to evaluate and engineer
various paths to run conduit for accessing close-by internet fiber networks.
On
June 23, 2023, we engaged HDR to complete a feasibility study and site development master plan. Once the plan is developed, we will submit
plans to authorities for approval and for permits to start construction. We expect, based on all related factors, that a submittable
plan, which will include civil engineering, data center and infrastructure design and construction schedule, will take approximately six months to complete. Once submitted to the appropriate governmental departments and agencies for approval, it is expected
that it could take another three months or more before we receive the required permits to start construction, and that the construction
could take another six to twelve months to complete depending on supply chain issues at the time for data center, electrical and communication
connectivity components of the data center build.
As
we move through the development process to build a clean-energy powered data center operation, we will continue to refine and finalize
the courses of action needed to implement our business plan and operations. As a result, management has not fully determined our actual
short-term or long-term capital requirements, which management expects to be substantial.
It
is anticipated that we will incur significant expenses in the implementation of our business plan as described herein, and that we will
require substantial financing to complete the development and construction of the planned data center operation. A failure to obtain
this necessary capital when required on acceptable terms, or at all, could force us to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our development
plans, any commercialization efforts and any other operations. We may not be able to secure financing on favorable terms, or at all,
to meet our future capital needs. In addition, even if we are able to obtain sufficient funding to commence our business operations,
we may need to pursue additional financing in the future to make expenditures and/or investments to support the growth of our business.
In addition, we may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to new competitive pressures, pay extraordinary
expenses or fund our growth, including through acquisitions. Additional funding, however, may not be available when required on terms
that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when it
is required, our ability to commence and grow our proposed business operations, to support our business and to respond to business challenges
could be significantly limited.
We
currently have only limited capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses. To fund our business plan going forward, we intend
to raise funds from investors by issuing common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities.

Revenues
We
had no revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Operating
Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Professional
fees decreased to approximately $48,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $136,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2022. As the Company has shifted its operating activity toward developing the data center professional fees have either
decreased or have been capitalized as development cost.
Equity-based
compensation increased to approximately $31,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $(11,168,000) for the three
months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022,
We had a cancelation of an equity-based compensation agreement for 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. Therefore,
we had a reversal of approximately $11,168,000 of previously expensed equity-based compensation. The equity-based compensation
of $31,000 related to the issuance of an employment agreement during the second quarter of 2023.
General
and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $13,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $24,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was attributable to the capitalization of out-of-pocket expenses related
to the development of the data center.
Operating
Expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Professional
fees decreased to approximately $234,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $558,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 2022. As we have shifted our operating activity toward developing the data center professional fees have either
decreased or have been capitalized as development cost.
Equity-based
compensation increased to approximately $55,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $(4,791,000) for the six
months ended September 30, 2022. During the six months ended September 30,
2022, we had a cancelation of an equity-based compensation agreement for 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Therefore, we had a reversal of approximately $11,168,000 of previously expensed equity-based compensation. The
equity-based compensation of $55,000 related to the issuance of an employment agreement during the second quarter of
2023.
General
and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $54,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $59,000 for
the six months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was attributable to the capitalization of out-of-pocket expenses related to the
development of the data center.

administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Cash
flows used in investing activities
Net
cash used in investing activity increased by $555,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $106,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022. The increase resulted from the expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for the development
activities for our data center project.
Cash
flows used in financing activities
Net
cash used in financing activities decreased by $25,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $25,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease resulted from our not making any repayments of our outstanding notes payable.
Capital
Requirements
We
estimate that we will require up to $2 million for expenses and operating costs to complete the development of a comprehensive plan for
our planned clean-energy powered, containerized, immersion-cooled data center operation. Once the plans are approved for construction
by the requisite authorities, we estimate the initial phase of our planned data center operation will cost between $60 to $75 million
to build.
Past
the plan development phase, we will need to raise capital in order to build our planned operations and achieve our growth targets, which
we plan to raise from investors by issuing common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities. However, there can be no assurance that
such financing will be available in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms when it is needed. The precise amount and timing of our
funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the
condition of the capital market, investor interest in our business plan, demand for our services by enterprise customers, the timing
of approvals from authorities to start construction, the management of working capital, and reasonable payment terms and conditions for
the purchase of the goods and services we will need to build our data center operation.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements
and accompanying disclosures of our company. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and
actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from such estimates.
13
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and its wholly-owned subsidiary from the formation date. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
financial statements of our foreign subsidiary, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars
using the exchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during
the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’
equity (deficit). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Debt
and Debt Discounts
In
accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options , we first allocate the cash proceeds of the notes between the
notes and the warrants on a relative fair value basis. Secondly, proceeds are then allocated to the conversion feature.
We
account for debt discounts originating in connection with conversion features that remain embedded in the related notes in accordance
with ASC 470-20. These costs are classified on the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. We amortize
these costs over the term of our debt agreements as financing cost in the consolidated statement of operations.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation ” using the fair value-based
method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the
service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which
an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities
in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by
the issuance of those equity instruments.
We
use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the BSM model for measuring the fair value of options.
The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting
periods.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Our
management reviewed all recently issued accounting standard updates (“ASU’s”) not yet adopted by us and does not
believe the future adoptions of any such ASU’s may be expected to cause a material impact on our condensed consolidated
financial condition or the results of our operations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of September 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the end of the period covered by this Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”),
conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls
and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based
on their evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective.
The
material weakness related to internal control over financial reporting that was identified at September 30, 2023 was that we did not
have sufficient personnel staffing in our accounting and financial reporting department. As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate
segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate review of the financial statements.
This
control deficiency could result in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. However, our management believes that the material weakness identified does not result in the restatement
of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, and management does not believe that the material
weakness had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements included as part of this Quarterly Report.
We
will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial
reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary
and as funds allow.
Changes
in internal control over financial reporting.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Readers
are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial
reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal 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
in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
