−Removed: Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal

−Removed: system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of

−Removed: upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
−Removed: was effective as of the year covered by this Annual Report.

+Added: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act
+Added: reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that
+Added: such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
+Added: as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and
+Added: procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
+Added: assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
+Added: relationship of possible controls and procedures.
+Added: Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance
+Added: that the controls and procedures would meet management’s objectives.

+Added: 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
+Added: and Chief Financial Officer.
+Added: Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
+Added: December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are
+Added: required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is:
+Added: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
+Added: the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
+Added: Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining
+Added: adequate internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
+Added: assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external
+Added: purposes in accordance with GAAP.
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:
+Added: pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect
+Added: the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
+Added: reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance
+Added: with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors;
+Added: reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could
+Added: have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses
+Added: in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion
+Added: or improper management override.
+Added: Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected
+Added: on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial
+Added: reporting process.
+Added: Therefore, it is possible to design safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
+Added: management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) published
+Added: by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered
−Removed: public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual
+Added: Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
+Added: was not effective at December 31, 2024, due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls.
+Added: material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that
+Added: a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: Our management, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the following material weaknesses
+Added: existed in the following areas as of December 31, 2024:
+Added: lacked sufficient resources in our accounting department restricting our ability to review and approve certain material journal entries
+Added: which increases the likelihood that a material misstatement of interim or annual financial statements might not be prevented.
+Added: lacked sufficient resources in our accounting department, which resulted in our ability to have proper segregation of duties between
+Added: the preparation, review and approval certain material reconciliations related to financial reporting in a timely manner.
+Added: to our lack of sufficient resource restrictions in our accounting department, we have not established a three-way match of documents
+Added: or other controls precise enough to detect a material misstatement in revenue.
+Added: remediate these material weaknesses, we intend to conduct a thorough review of the accounting department to ensure that the staff has
+Added: the appropriate training and experience.
+Added: We may hire one or more accounting persons to assist us with our accounting and financial reporting
+Added: We also intend to implement more comprehensive written policies and procedures that address separation of duties and proper
+Added: accounting and financial reporting.
+Added: Notwithstanding
+Added: the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal controls, we believe that our consolidated financial statements fairly present,
+Added: in all material respects, our balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and 2023, our statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit
+Added: and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and our statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with GAAP.
+Added: annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
+Added: over financial reporting.
+Added: Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting
+Added: firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this annual report.
+Added: in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
+Added: or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
