−Removed: generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: In evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
−Removed: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (Office of the CEO) also our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: Based on that evaluation, our CEO as well as our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, containing material weaknesses in internal controls as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Office of the CEO and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of review and Lack of internal control environment and lack of formal documentation of internal control policies Also due to limited resources available to have additional staff to our accounting office there is inadequate segregation of duties.
−Removed: This lack of capital and consequential lack of staff has resulted in insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
−Removed: (b) Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Our Chief Executive Officer as well as our Chief Financial Officer, I.
−Removed: Andrew Weeraratne, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Weeraratne has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report based on the criteria for effective internal control described Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
−Removed: Based on this assessment Mr.
−Removed: Weeraratne has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to insufficient written policies and procedures and inadequate segregation of duties and lack of multiple levels of reviews and effective risk assessment, as to timely identify, correct and disclose information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission reports due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review and segregate duties Due to our limited activities where all cash disbursements can be easily accounted and due to the quarterly review process with our auditors, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
−Removed: (c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the year ended September 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
+Added: the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of December 31, 2022.
+Added: Based on such evaluation,
+Added: our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures
+Added: were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
+Added: under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by Securities and Exchange
+Added: Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
+Added: Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure.
+Added: has identified control deficiencies regarding inadequate accounting resources, the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger
+Added: internal control environment.
+Added: Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s
+Added: accounting staff.
+Added: The small size of the Company’s accounting outsourced staff may prevent adequate controls in the future due to
+Added: the cost/benefit of such remediation.
+Added: mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with
+Added: the use of external legal and accounting professionals.
+Added: As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable
+Added: us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
+Added: control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material
+Added: misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: In light of this material weakness, we performed
+Added: additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in
+Added: this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with GAAP.
+Added: Accordingly, management believes that despite our material
+Added: weaknesses, our financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance
+Added: in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: to a transition period established by SEC rules applicable to newly public companies, our management is not required to evaluate the
+Added: effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
+Added: ending December 31, 2022.
+Added: As a result, this Annual Report does not address whether there have been any changes in our internal control
+Added: over financial reporting.
+Added: on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
+Added: designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes
+Added: that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
+Added: control objectives.
+Added: In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must
+Added: reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of
+Added: possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

+Added: authorizes us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
+Added: provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and may indemnify
+Added: our other employees and agents.
+Added: Our bylaws also provide that, on satisfaction of certain conditions, we will advance expenses incurred
+Added: by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf
+Added: of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of
+Added: whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under the provisions of Delaware law.
+Added: We have entered and expect to continue
+Added: to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors.
+Added: With certain exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments,
+Added: fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding.
+Added: We believe these provisions in our certificate
+Added: of incorporation and bylaws and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
+Added: We also maintain customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
+Added: The limitation of liability
+Added: and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against
+Added: our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.
+Added: They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors
+Added: and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders.
+Added: Further, a stockholder’s investment
+Added: may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required
+Added: by these indemnification provisions.
+Added: Insofar as indemnification
+Added: for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for directors, executive officers or persons controlling us, we have
+Added: been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
+Added: therefore unenforceable.

+Added: The Company is not required to have, nor were
+Added: we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

+Added: understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
+Added: the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
+Added: Our audits included performing procedures to
+Added: assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
+Added: that respond to those risks.
+Added: Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
+Added: consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
+Added: by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

−Removed: NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
−Removed: Basis of Presentation
−Removed: The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company for the years ending September 30,2017 and September 2016.
−Removed: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
−Removed: Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
−Removed: Actual results could vary from those estimates.
−Removed: New Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance which may be applicable to the Company.
−Removed: Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.
−Removed: 2014-09 Revenue Recognition (Topic 606):
−Removed: In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition.
−Removed: Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
−Removed: The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including identifying performance obligations and other technical corrections and minor improvements affecting a variety of topics and required disclosures in the new standard.
−Removed: This standard will be effective and the Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018.
−Removed: Entities have the option to apply the new guidance under a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application.
−Removed: Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.
−Removed: 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842).
−Removed: This update will require assets and liabilities to be recognized on the balance sheet of a lessee for the rights and obligations created by leases of assets with terms of more than 12 months.
−Removed: For income statement purposes, the update retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance based on largely similar criteria to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines.
−Removed: ASU 2016-02 also requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, to provide greater insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing leases.
−Removed: This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019.
−Removed: Early adoption is permitted.
−Removed: There are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
−Removed: Cash and Cash Equivalents
−Removed: Cash consists of cash balances on deposit.
−Removed: The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances.
−Removed: The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 or at September 30, 2016.
−Removed: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse.
