Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the Board has determined these were deemed not effective and has undertaken to address the shortcomings by:
a. adding additional and more qualified staff;
b. asking for specific direction from the company’s accountants and auditors;
c. reviewing structure and procedures implemented by similarly situated publicly held companies; and
d. changes in process prior to any further acquisition or financing activity.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company 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) under the Exchange Act. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America. 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 the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, 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 because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management notes that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023.
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 the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses identified during our annual audit for 2023 were (i) lack of segregation of duties, and (ii) lack of sufficient resources with appropriate accounting experience ), especially with regards to equity-based transactions and tax accounting expertise.

Table of Contents
Because of these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. The disclosure contained under this Item 9A was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the disclosure under this Item 8A in this annual report.
We believe that the material weaknesses as reported will eventually be fully remediated, upon being properly capitalized to hire the proper personnel for segregation of duties and SEC and GAAP accounting knowledge.
Management ’ s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management has identified what it believes are material weaknesses in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
The deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures included (i) lack of segregation of duties and (ii) lack of sufficient resources to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
The Company intends to take corrective action to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company pursuant to the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Cybersecurity
We utilize information technology for internal and external communications with vendors, clinical sites, banks, investors and shareholders. Loss, disruption or compromise of these systems could significantly impact operations and results.
We are not aware of any material cybersecurity violation or occurrence. We believe our efforts toward prevention of such violation or occurrence, including system design and controls, processes and procedures, training and monitoring of system access, limit, but may not prevent unauthorized access to our systems.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Executive Employment, Termination and Change of Control Arrangements
The Company appointed three (3) new Directors on December 15, 2023. They have elected to receive no compensation for 2023.
They have agreed to serve for one (1) year terms and have agreed to a compensation plan that provides for a) $60,000 per year stipend to be paid by the issuance of Series X Preferred Stock, and b) reimbursement of any real and actual cash expenses incurred in the execution of their responsibilities such as travel, office supplies or similar nominal expenses.
The Series X Preferred shares have a face value of $25 per share and pay dividend of 10% in cash or through the issuance of restricted common stock monthly. All dividends to date for previously issued shares have been paid through the issuance of restricted common stock, and it is anticipated that this practice will continue indefinitely.
For 2024, in conjunction with this award each of the Directors will receive a total of 2,400 shares of Series X Preferred stock. Each share has voting rights entitling it to four hundred (400) votes, when compared to common stock which has one (1) vote per share. As such each director will be entitled to 960,000 share votes on any matter requiring a vote.
Starting in July 2023 and continuing until further notice the Company intends to pay the Series X dividends using restricted common stock with a valuation of $.80 per share, a 20% discount to the average price of the stock before it was moved to the OTC Expert Market Quote platform.
The Certificate of Designation for the Series X Preferred stock (as previously filed in Delaware, and recently converted to Nevada with the same terms) can be viewed here: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/802257/000118518520000019/ex_168535.htm

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth certain information as of April XX, 2024, regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series X Preferred Stock by (i) each person (including any “group” as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) known by us to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, (ii) each of our directors and “named executive officers;” and (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. At June 13, 2023, we had 5,115,437 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding,1,940,644 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding having an aggregate of 12,600,000 votes, and 24,227 shares of Series X Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, having an aggregate of 484,540,000 votes. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each of the stockholders listed is 1660 Highway 100 South, Suite 432, Saint Louis Park, Minnesota 55416. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of other securities currently convertible or convertible within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Under the applicable SEC rules, each person’s beneficial ownership is calculated by dividing the total number of shares with respect to which they possess beneficial ownership by the total number of outstanding shares. In any case where an individual has beneficial ownership over securities that are not outstanding but are issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants or similar rights within the next 60 days, that same number of shares is added to the denominator in the calculation described above. Because the calculation of each person’s beneficial ownership set forth in the “Percentage Class” column of the table may include shares that are not presently outstanding, the sum total of the percentages set forth in such column may exceed 100%.
