NATURALSHRIMP
INCORPORATED
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Nature
of the Business
NaturalShrimp
Incorporated (“NaturalShrimp” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a biotechnology company and has developed
a proprietary technology that allows it to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically
controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. The Company’s system
uses technology which allows it to produce a naturally-grown shrimp “crop” weekly and accomplishes this without the use of
antibiotics or toxic chemicals. The Company has developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows
it to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains
proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production. The Company’s production facilities are located
in La Coste, Texas and Webster City, Iowa.
The
Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp USA Corporation (“NSC”) and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc.
(“NS Global”) and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”), and owns 51% of NaturalShrimp/Hydrenesis LLC, a Texas
limited liability company.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”), assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Due to the
Company’s significant amount of debt that was in default as of September 30, 2024, Ampleo
Turnaround and Restructuring, LLC (“the receiver”) was placed as the receiver over the Company’s assets. Further,
the receiver filed a motion to sell substantially all of the Company’s assets to Streeterville and Bucktown Capital for an
approximate credit bid of $ 35.7
million and $ 100,000
in cash. The motion to sell the assets was approved by the court on March 30, 2025 and title to the assets was transferred to
Streeterville on May 14, 2025. The Company believes that it continued to function as a going concern until the date of that the
motion to sell its assets was approved by the court (on March 30, 2025) at which point liquidation became imminent. To that extent,
the Company plans to present its financial statements under the liquidation basis of accounting using a convenience date of March
31, 2025. As such, in accordance with ASC 205-30, Liquidation Basis of Accounting , the Company will present a Consolidated
statement of net assets (liabilities) in liquidation and Consolidated a statement of changes in net assets (liabilities) in
liquidation as of the convenience date. For purposes of reporting under the liquidation basis of accounting the Company plans to
measure its assets at the amount used to settle its liabilities (i.e. based on the proposed credit bid).
7
Receivership
On September
4, 2024, Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, and Bucktown Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company
(collectively, “Lenders”), filed a Verified Emergency Motion for Appointment of Receiver (the
“Motion”) under Civil Case No. 240907138, in the District Court of Salt Lake County, Utah, against NaturalShrimp, Inc.
(“NaturalShrimp”).
The
Motion alleges, among other things, that NaturalShrimp has defaulted under the terms of its loan agreements with the Lenders. The
Motion sought the appointment of a Receiver to immediately take control of NaturalShrimp’s assets to preserve the
same.
An
order was entered ex parte by the Utah State Court in the Receivership Case on September 9, 2024 granting the relief requested by Lenders.
The Utah State Court duly appointed Amplēo Turnaround and Restructuring, LLC (the “Receiver”) as the receiver over NaturalShrimp’s
assets. The Utah State Court’s order further scheduled a hearing to be held on September 17, 2024, on a preliminary injunction
to address issues raised in the Motion.
On
November 20, 2024, the Lenders and NaturalShrimp filed a Verified Amended and Stipulated Emergency Motion for Immediate Appointment
of a Receiver in the Receivership Case.
On
November 22, 2024, the Utah State Court entered an order granting the Stipulated Motion and appointed Receiver as the receiver over the
assets of NaturalShrimp. Under the Amended Receivership Order, the Receiver is the receiver over the Receivership Entities’ assets.
On
February 11, 2025, the Receiver filed a Motion for Approval to Sell Substantially all of the Receivership Entities’ Assets
to Streeterville Captial, LLC and Bucktown Captial, LLC (or Their Designees) or Any Other Party With a Higher and Better Offer Free
and Clear of All Liens, Interests, Claims, and Encumbrances (the “Sale Motion”) in the Receivership Case. The Sale
Motion seeks the Utah State Court’s approval for the Receiver to sell substantially all of the Receivership Entities’
assets free and clear of all liens, interests, claims, and encumbrances to Streeterville and Bucktown Capital, through their
designated entities, NaturalShrimp Farms, Inc. (“NV Purchaser”), a Nevada corporation, Iowa Shrimp Holdings, LLC
(“IA Purchaser”), an Iowa limited liability company, Texas Shrimp Holdings, LLC (“TX Purchaser” or together
with NV Purchaser and IA Purchaser, the “Purchasers”), a Texas limited liability company, for a roughly $ 35,703,789.87
credit bid (based on a secured and administrative claim basis) and $ 100,000
cash, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between Trustee
and Purchasers. The order to sell the assets was approved on March 30, 2025 and the title to the assets was transferred to the
lenders on May 14, 2025. As part of the sale, the Company transferred its ownership rights to its fixed assets, patents and license
agreements (total balance of $ 25.5 million as of September 30, 2024) in exchange for the extinguishment of its outstanding debt to
Streeterville and Buckstown Capital ($ 30.8 million as of September 30, 2024).

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited financial information as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 has been prepared
in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows
for such periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant
to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”). These unaudited financial statements and related notes
should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 17, 2024.
As
discussed in Note 1, Ampleo Turnaround and Restructuring, LLC was placed as the receiver over the Company’s assets during
September of 2024. Further, during February of 2025, the receiver filed a motion to sell all of the Company’s assets to
Streeterville and Bucktown Capital for an approximate credit bid of $35.7 million and $100,000 in cash. The motion was approved on
March 30, 2025 with title to the assets being transferred on May 14, 2025. The Company believes that it continued to function as a
going concern until the date of the motion to sell was approved. As of the date the motion was approved, the Company plans to
present its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting as liquidation was considered imminent. As such, in
accordance with ASC 205-30, Liquidation Basis of Accounting , the Company will present a Consolidated statement of net assets
(liabilities) in liquidation and Consolidated statement of changes in net assets (liabilities) in liquidation as of the approximate
date that the liquidation became imminent. For purposes of reporting under the liquidation basis of accounting the Company plans to
measure its assets at the amount used to settle its liabilities (based on the proposed credit bid). As part of the sale, the Company
transferred its ownership rights to its fixed assets, patents and license agreements (total balance of $25.5 million as of September
30, 2024) in exchange for the extinguishment of its outstanding debt to Streeterville and Buckstown Capital ($30.8 million as of
September 30, 2024).
Consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NSC, NS
Global, and NAS, and owns 51% of NaturalShrimp/Hydrenesis LLC, a Texas limited liability Company. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
Preparing
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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
9
Fair
Value Measurements
ASC
Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurement” , requires that certain financial instruments be recognized at their fair values
at the balance sheet dates. However, other financial instruments, such as debt obligations, are not required to be recognized at their
fair values, but GAAP provides an option to elect fair value accounting for these instruments. GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair
values of all financial instruments, regardless of whether they are recognized at their fair values or carrying amounts. For financial
instruments recognized at fair value, GAAP requires the disclosure of their fair values by type of instrument, along with other information,
including changes in the fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in the operating results or within comprehensive income
(loss) of the respective period. For financial instruments not recognized at fair value, the disclosure of their fair values is provided
below under “Financial Instruments.”
Nonfinancial
assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and nonfinancial liabilities are recognized at their carrying amounts in the Company’s
balance sheets. GAAP does not permit nonfinancial assets and liabilities to be remeasured at their fair values. However, GAAP requires
the remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to their fair values upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the impairment of
property, plant and equipment. In addition, if such an event occurs, GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair value of the asset or liability
along with other information, including the gain or loss recognized in operating results in the period the remeasurement occurred.
The
Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets or liabilities at September 30, 2024 or March 31, 2024.
The
warrant liabilities and Restructured notes are considered Level 3 fair value measurements.
The
following is a summary of activity of our Level 3 financial instruments during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended
March 31, 2024:

At
September 30, 2024, the Company’s shares were no longer being quoted on the Over the Counter (“OTC”) market and technically
had a fair value of $ 0 . As such, the warrants were written down to $ 0 .
At
March 31, 2024, the fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using a Black Sholes model with the following weighted-average
inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $ 0.011 ; a risk-free interest rate of 4.40 % to 4.59 % and expected volatility
of the Company’s common stock ranging from 124.8 % to 133.8 % and the remaining terms of each warrant issuance.

On
November 4, 2022, when the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note for two
of their outstanding debentures (Note 6 and Note 7), which were accounted for as debt extinguishment, the Company elected to recognize
the new debt under the fair value option within ASC Topic 825, “ Financial Instruments .” The fair value for both periods
is based on the maturity dates, the interest of 12 %, the 15 % exit fee, the 2% appreciation fee for an estimated period, and a 45% and
40% present value factor , respectively as of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments include cash, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC
Topic 825. The carrying amount of these financial instruments, with the exception of discounted debt, as reflected in the unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
the purpose of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 . As of September 30, 2024 and
March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash balance did not exceed FDIC coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be
negligible.
Fixed
Assets
Equipment
is carried at historical value or cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated
depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.
11
Intangible
Assets
The
Company has intangible assets, which were acquired in a patent acquisition, and license rights agreements. The Company’s patents
represent definite lived intangible assets and will be amortized over the twenty year duration of the patent, unless at some point the
useful life is determined to be less than the protected life of the patent. The Company’s license rights will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over the expected term of the agreements of ten years. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September
30, 2023, the amortization of the patents was $ 97,500 and $ 97,500 and in the amortization of the license rights was $ 270,000 and $ 270,000 ,
respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the amortization of the patents was $ 195,000 and $ 195,000
and the amortization of the license rights was $ 540,000 and $ 540,000 , respectively.
The
Company periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of its finite-lived intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances
warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. As of September 30, 2024, the Company believes the carrying value of the
intangible assets are still recoverable, and there is no impairment to be recognized.
License
agreements
On
August 25, 2021, the Company, through its 100 % owned subsidiary NAS, entered into an Equipment Rights Agreements with Hydrenesis-Delta
Systems, LLC (“Hydrenesis-Delta”) and a Technology Rights Agreement, in a sub-license agreement with Hydrenesis Aquaculture
LLC (“Hydrenesis-Aqua”). Both Rights agreements are for a 10-year term, which shall automatically renew for ten-year successive
terms. The agreements accord the exclusive rights to purchase or distribute the technology, or buy or rent the equipment, which is the
primary business and revenue stream generated from indoor aquaculture farming of any species in the territory, which will be named the
NSI Technologies and Equipment (“NSI Technologies”).
The
terms of the Agreements set forth that NAS will pay Hydrenesis 12.5 % royalty fees. The royalties are calculated per all customer or sub-license
revenue generated by NAS, NSI or any affiliate, from the sale or rental of either the Technologies or Hydrenesis Equipment, based on
gross revenue less returns, rebates and sales taxes. There are sales milestones for exclusivity, whereby if NAS fails to achieve a sales
milestone starting in Year 3, the exclusivity rights in both of the Rights agreements shall revert to non-exclusive rights. To maintain
the exclusivity for the subsequent year, the Company may pay the amount of the royalty fees that would have been due if the Sales Milestones
had been met in the current year.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant
such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted
cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated
cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in
a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
Commitments
and Contingencies
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss
to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management
and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing
loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings,
the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived
merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable
but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable
and material, would be disclosed.
12
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee
would be disclosed.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, as such, the Company records
revenue when its customers obtain control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company
expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will sell primarily to food service distributors, as well as
to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors. Additionally, the Company will sell or rent the NSI Technologies.
To
determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs
the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company
which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract which includes shipment
of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order
received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction
price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the
Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.
In
the future, if the Company has customers with long-term contracts for multiple shipments of live shrimp, the Company will elect the right-to-invoice
practical expedient and any variable consideration estimate will be excluded from the transaction price and the revenue will be recognized
directly when the goods are delivered.
Revenues
for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 , “ Segment Reporting (Topic
280 ) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable
segments. The amendments require enhanced disclosure for certain segment items and required disclosure on how management uses reported
measures to assess segment performance. The amendments do not change how segments are determined, aggregated, or how thresholds are applied
to determine reportable segments. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2025 and interim periods beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”
which requires two primary enhancements of 1) disaggregated information on a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation,
and 2) information on cash income taxes paid. Additionally, specific disclosures related to unrecognized tax benefits and indefinite
reinvestment assertions were removed. For public business entities, the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
As
of September 30, 2024, there were a few new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable,
has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had
or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE
6 – RESTRUCTURED AUGUST NOTE PAYABLE
The
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on August
17, 2022. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount
totaling approximately $ 5,433,333 . The Note has an interest rate of 12 % per annum, with a maturity date nine months from the issuance
date of the Note . The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $ 433,333 and a transaction expense amount of $ 10,000 , both of
which are included in the principal balance of the Note. On the closing date the Company received $ 1,100,000 , with $ 3,900,000 put into
escrow to be held until certain terms were to be met, which included $ 3,400,000 upon the completion of a successful uplist to NYSE or
NASDAQ. The SPA includes a Security Agreement, whereby the note is secured by the collateral set forth in the agreement, covering all
of the assets of the Company. All payments made by the Company under the terms in the note, including upon repayment of this Note at
maturity, were subject to an exit fee of 15 % of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As the
Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15 % of the principal balance, which totals $ 816,500 , was recognized
along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount.
16
As
soon as reasonably possible, the Company will cause the common stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in
either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by November 15, 2022, the then-current
outstanding balance will be increased by 10 %. Following the Uplist, while the Note is still outstanding, ten days after the Company may
have a sale of any of its shares of common stock or preferred stock, there shall be a Mandatory Prepayment equal to the greater of $ 3,000,000
or thirty-three percent of the gross proceeds of the equity sale.
In
conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 11), on November 4,
2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “August Note”),
through which the August Note was amended and restated in its entirety. The Restructured August Note decreased the principal to $1,748,667,
less an OID of $138,667, and the amount in escrow was returned to the investor, The Restructuring Agreement included key modifications,
in which i) the Uplist terms were removed, ii) in the event that the closing of the Merger does not occur on or before December 31, 2022,
the then-current Outstanding Balance will be increased by 2% and shall increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the closing or termination
of the Merger Agreement, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of
an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions
(“Trigger Events”). The Merger did not close and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June 30,
2023, in the amount of approximately $ 272,000 . On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination of
the Merger Agreement. On November 20, 2023, the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2024 . The maturity date was then further extended
to August 15, 2024 . However, the note was in default as of the time of this filing.
The
Restructured August Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment
of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new
debt instrument was evaluated to be a substantial change, as over 10% difference from the present value of the remaining cash flows under
the terms of the original instrument. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared
to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $ 1,933,000 , there was a loss in extinguishment of approximately $ 157,000 .
As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the August Note will be
accounted for at fair value until they are settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair
value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated
for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the provisions in the August Note were not evaluated as to if they fell under the guidance of embedded
derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The August Note was revalued as of March 31, 2024 to $ 2,640,000 . The August Note was
revalued as of September 30, 2024 to $ 2,790,000 . As of September 30, 2024, the accrued interest from the restructuring date which is
included in the fair value was approximately $ 571,000 .
NOTE
7 – RESTRUCTURED SENIOR NOTE PAYABLE
December
15, 2021 Debenture
The
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on December
15, 2021. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount
totaling approximately $ 16,320,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The Note has an interest rate of 12 % per annum, with a maturity
date 24 months from the issuance date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”).
Beginning
on the date that was 6 months from the issuance date of the Note, the Investor had the right to redeem up to $ 1,000,000 of the outstanding
balance per month. Payments could have been made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, or (b) by paying the redemption
amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), per the
following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Repayment
Price. The “Redemption Repayment Price” equaled 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price
per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the Investor delivers notice electing
to redeem a portion of the Note. The redemption amount shall include an Exit Fee, consisting of a premium of 15% of the portion of the
outstanding balance being paid. As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15% of the principal
balance, which totals $2,448,000, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar
to a debt discount. In addition to the Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the Notes at any time
prior to the Maturity Date by paying a premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date.
17
On
November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Senior
Note”) with the December 2021 Investor through which the December 2021 Note was amended and restated in its entirety. These amendments
were made in conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation (Note 11), The
main modification of the terms of the Senior Note was that the conversion feature was eliminated. Second, a Mandatory Payment was added
whereby within 3 trading days of the closing upon the Merger an amount equal to the lesser of (A) one-third of the amount retained in
the Trust Account at the Effective Time or (B) $ 10,000,000 , in order to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Senior Note;
after which the remaining balance of the Senior Note is to be repaid in equal monthly installments over a 12-month period beginning on
a date after the Merger Agreement closing date (“Closing Date”) or the termination of such agreement. All payments made shall
be subject to an Exit Fee of 15 % of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid. Additionally, if the Closing Date is after December
31, 2022, the outstanding balance of all indebtedness owed by the Company to December 2021 Investor will be increased automatically by
2% and will automatically increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the Closing, a termination, or substantially similar terms as
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Additional key modifications include i) uplist terms in which the Company was to cause
the common stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ, were removed, ii) Maturity date was modified from December
15, 2023 to 12 months from the Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, provided not to be later than September 30, 2024, and
iii) the outstanding balance of the Senior Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to
obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events”).
As of June 30, 2023, the Merger has not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June 30, 2023,
in the amount of approximately $ 2,675,000 . On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination of the
Merger Agreement (See Note 11). Based on the termination in July of 2023, the equal monthly payments were to begin on September 20, 2023.
On July 3, 2024, the Company and the Investor entered into an Exchange Agreement on the Restructured Senior Note. As part of the Exchange
Agreement, the remaining Restructured Senior Note was partitioned into a $ 90,000 new promissory note, which was exchanged for 10,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares of common stock issued had a fair value of $ 90,000 based on the market price of
the shares of $ 0.009 on the execution date
On
July 3, 2024, the Investor issued a waiver to the Company on the equal monthly payments, which are not currently required to be paid,
through August 15, 2024. The note was in default as of the date of this filing.
The
Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include the Company
fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without the Lenders written consent, the Company effectuates
a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading days written notice to Lender, fails to observe or perform or breaches any covenant,
and, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements in any
material. Upon an Event of a Default, at its option and sole discretion, the Investor may consider the Note immediately due and payable.
Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the Note increases from 5%
to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default.
The
Restructured Senior Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment
of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the conversion feature has been eliminated and therefore the modified
Senior Note is determined to be fundamentally different from the original convertible note. As such, with the removal of the original
note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $ 18,914,000 ,
there was a gain in extinguishment of approximately $ 2,540,000 . As of the restructuring date the derivative had a fair value of $ 12,290,000 ,
based on assumptions used in a bi-nomial option pricing model, which resulted in a change in fair value of $ 17,738,000 as of the restructuring
date, from its previous fair value of $ 30,028,000 . The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s
common stock of $ 0.16 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 3.73 % and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock,
of 117.77 %, and the strike price of $ 0.1017 .
18
As
a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the Company will account for
the Restructured Senior Note at fair value every period end until it is settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument
that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur
should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the Company did not evaluate the provisions in the Restructured Senior Note
as to whether they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The Restructured Senior Note was
revalued as of September 30, 2024 at approximately $ 27,600,000 . The Senior Note was revalued as of March 31, 2024, at approximately $ 27,120,000 .
As of September 30, 2024, the accrued interest from the restructuring date, which is included in the fair value was approximately $ 7,269,000 .

Shares. A GHS Purchase will be made in a minimum amount of $10,000 and up to a maximum of $1,500,000 and provided that, the purchase
amount for any purchase will not exceed 200% of the average of the daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s common stock during
the 10 business days preceding the purchase date. Notwithstanding the foregoing dollar limitations, the Company and GHS may, from time
to time, mutually agree (in writing) to waive the aforementioned limitations for a relevant Purchase Notice, which waiver, for the avoidance
of doubt, shall not exceed the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation contained in the GHS Purchase Agreement. The “Purchase Price”
means, with respect to a purchase made pursuant to the GHS Purchase Agreement, 90% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the GHS 2023 Purchase
Agreement) during the Valuation Period (the ten (10) consecutive business days immediately preceding, but not including, the applicable
purchase date). The Company shall deliver a number of GHS 2023 Purchase Shares equal to 112.5% of the aggregate purchase amount for such
GHS Purchase divided by the Purchase Price per share for such GHS Purchase, against payment by GHS to the Company of the purchase amount
with respect to such Purchase (less documented deposit and clearing fees, if any), as full payment for such GHS Purchase Shares via wire
transfer of immediately available funds.
If
there are any default events, as set forth in the GHS Purchase Agreement, has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall not deliver
to GHS any Purchase Notice.
Further,
pursuant to the terms of the GHS 2023 Purchase Agreement, from May 9, 2023 until the date that is the later of (i) the closing of the
transactions whereby Yotta Merger Sub, Inc. will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company (the “Merger”);
and (ii) the 12 month anniversary of the initial closing pursuant to the Section 2(a) of GHS Purchase Agreement, upon any issuance by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination
of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), GHS shall have the right to participate in any financing, up to an amount of
the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions
and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. Following the Merger, the Participation Maximum would have been 50% of the Subsequent
Financing.
In
the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold 28,205,605 shares of common stock at a net amount of approximately $ 923,000 , at

to the inclusion of financial information. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and
the notes thereto included elsewhere in this annual report. All references to dollar amounts in this section are in United States dollars,

This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this
annual report.
Overview
We
are an aquaculture technology company that has developed proprietary, patented platform technologies to allow for the production of aquatic
species in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities
without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. We own and operate indoor recirculating Pacific White shrimp production facilities
in Texas and Iowa using these technologies.
We
were incorporated in July 2008 and acquired substantially all of the assets of NSH, the company that developed the proprietary technology
to grow and sell shrimp potentially anywhere in the world that is now the basis of our business. In 2015 NSH acquired 88.62% of the issued
and outstanding shares of NaturalShrimp Common Stock, NSC and NS Global became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and we changed our principal
business to a global shrimp farming company.
On
October 5, 2015, we formed NAS with F&T, the purpose of which was to jointly develop with F&T certain water technologies.
On
December 17, 2020, we acquired for $10.0 million certain assets from VeroBlue Farms USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which assets included
our three current facilities located in Iowa.
On
May 25, 2021, we purchased certain parent and intellectual property rights from F&T and acquired all of its outstanding shares in
NAS, thereby making NAS our wholly-owned subsidiary, for $3.0 million in cash and 13,861,386 shares of NaturalShrimp Common Stock.
On
August 25, 2021, through NAS, we entered into an Equipment Rights Agreements with Hydrenesis-Delta Systems, LLC and a Technology Rights
Agreement with Hydrenesis Aquaculture LLC. The Equipment Rights Agreement relates to specialized and proprietary equipment used to produce
and control, dose, and infuse Hydrogas ® and RLS ® into both water and other chemical species, while the
Technology Rights Agreement provides us with a sublicense to the rights to Hydrogas ® and RLS ® .
The
Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: NSC, NS Global, and NAS, and owns 51% of NaturalShrimp/Hydrenesis LLC, a Texas limited liability
company.
Most
of the shrimp consumed in the world today come from shrimp farms that can only produce crops between one and four times per year. Consequently,
the shrimp from these farms requires freezing between crops until consumed. Our system is designed to harvest different tanks each week,
which provides for fresh shrimp throughout the year. We strive to create a niche market of “Always Fresh, Always Natural”
shrimp. As opposed to many of the foreign shrimp farms, we can also claim that our product is 100% free of antibiotics. The ability to
grow shrimp locally and year-round allows us to provide this high-end product to upscale restaurant and grocery stores throughout the
world. We rotate the stocking and harvesting of our tanks each week, which allows for weekly shrimp harvests. Our product is free of
pollutants and is fed only the highest-quality feeds.
26
We
began making regular weekly sales of live shrimp from our Iowa production facility in November 2021 and from our Texas production facility
in June 2022. The Company is using its aforementioned platform technologies to retrofit 344,000 square feet of its existing Iowa facilities
that we expect will, once fully operational, produce 18,000 pounds of shrimp per week. We believe that the combined output from our La
Coste, Texas and Iowa facilities will be approximately 24,000 pounds of shrimp production per week by the third or fourth calendar quarter
of 2025. We can, however, provide no assurances as to how significant our revenue will be in the next one to two fiscal quarters.
As
discussed in our consolidated financial statements, Ampleo Turnaround and Restructuring, LLC was placed as the receiver over the Company’s
assets during September of 2024. Further, during February of 2025, the receiver submitted a motion to sell substantially all of the Company’s
assets to Streeterville and Bucktown Capital for an approximate credit bid of $35.7m and $100,000 in cash. The Company believes that
it continued to function as a going concern until the date of the approved sale. Subsequent to that date, the Company plans to present
its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting as liquidation was considered imminent. As such, in accordance with
ASC 205-30, Liquidation Basis of Accounting , the Company will present a Consolidated statement of net assets (liabilities) in
liquidation and Consolidated statement of changes in net assets (liabilities) in liquidation as of the approximate date that the liquidation
became imminent. For purposes of reporting under the liquidation basis of accounting the Company plans to measure its assets at the amount
used to settle its liabilities (based on the proposed credit bid).
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2024, we had cash on hand of approximately $43,330 and working capital deficiency of $39,312,635, as compared to cash
on hand of approximately $116,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $38,147,000 as of March 31, 2024. While we continued
to function as a going concern during the interim period ended September 30, 2024, the Company plans to liquidate its assets in order
to settle its outstanding debts.
Receivership
On
September 4, 2024, Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, and Bucktown Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability
company (collectively, “Lenders”), filed a Verified Emergency Motion for Appointment of Receiver (the “Motion”)
under Civil Case No. 240907138, in the District Court of Salt Lake County, Utah, against NaturalShrimp, Inc. (“NaturalShrimp”).
The
Motion alleges, among other things, that NaturalShrimp has defaulted under the terms of its loan agreements with Lenders. The Motion
sought the appointment of a Receiver to immediately take control of NaturalShrimp’s assets to preserve the same.
An
order was entered ex parte by the Utah State Court in the Receivership Case on September 9, 2024 granting the relief requested by Lenders.
The Utah State Court duly appointed Amplēo Turnaround and Restructuring, LLC (the “Receiver”) as the receiver over NaturalShrimp’s
assets. The Utah State Court’s order further scheduled a hearing to be held on September 17, 2024, on a preliminary injunction
to address issues raised in the Motion.
On
November 20, 2024, the Lenders and NaturalShrimp filed a Verified Amended and Stipulated Emergency Motion for Immediate Appointment
of a Receiver in the Receivership Case.
On
November 22, 2024, the Utah State Court entered an order granting the Stipulated Motion and appointed Receiver as the receiver over the
assets of NaturalShrimp. Under the Amended Receivership Order, the Receiver is the receiver over the Receivership Entities’ assets.
On February
11, 2025, the Receiver filed a Motion for Approval to Sell Substantially all of the Receivership Entities’ Assets to Streeterville
Captial, LLC and Bucktown Captial, LLC (or Their Designees) or Any Other Party With a Higher and Better Offer Free and Clear of All Liens,
Interests, Claims, and Encumbrances (the “Sale Motion”) in the Receivership Case. The Sale Motion seeks the Utah State
Court’s approval for the Receiver to sell substantially all of the Receivership Entities’ assets free and clear of all liens,
interests, claims, and encumbrances to Streeterville and Bucktown Capital, through their designated entities, NaturalShrimp Farms, Inc.
(“NV Purchaser”), a Nevada corporation, Iowa Shrimp Holdings, LLC (“IA Purchaser”), an Iowa limited liability
company, Texas Shrimp Holdings, LLC (“TX Purchaser” or together with NV Purchaser and IA Purchaser, the “Purchasers”),
a Texas limited liability company, for a roughly $35,703,789.87 credit bid (based on a secured and administrative claim basis) and $100,000
cash, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between Trustee and
Purchasers. The order to sell the assets was approved on March 30, 2025 and the title to the assets was transferred to the lenders on
May 14, 2025. As part of the sale, the Company transferred its ownership rights to its fixed assets, patents and license agreements (total
balance of $25.5 million as of September 30, 2024) in exchange for the extinguishment of its outstanding debt to Streeterville and Buckstown
Capital ($30.8 million as of September 30, 2024).

Net
cash used in operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2024, was a decrease of approximately $644,000 as compared
to the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash used is primarily due to the decrease in the current period net loss as compared to
the same period the prior year and adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash, including i) the change in fair value of the restructured
notes and ii) the prior period write-off of deferred offering costs.
The
net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $107,512 compared to net cash used
by investing activities for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was in the current period was due primarily to cash

had gross sales revenue of $70,373 and $58,010, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, an increase
of approximately $12,000 or 12%.
Our
increase in gross sales revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2024 over the same period in the prior year was a result
of slightly higher shrimp sales during the period.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales includes direct costs related to the production and sale of our products, primarily the cost of the post-larva shrimp that we
purchase to grow into our shrimp product at our facilities and the costs of shipping purchase orders to customers. Cost of sales were
$50,758 and $51,000, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Operating
Expenses

Revenue
The
Company had gross sales revenue of $106,991 and $263,882, respectively, during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, a decrease
of approximately $157,000, or 60%. The decrease in gross sales revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2024 over the same period

that did not recur during the current period.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales decreased by approximately $15,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior

Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $2,586,964, or 63.5%, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily
due to a decrease in professional fees stemming from the $1.3 million write-off of deferred offering costs as a result of the termination
of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the decrease was also due to a decrease in facility operation of approximately $230,000 and salaries
of approximately $180,000 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Critical
Accounting Estimates
Fair
Value Measurement
The
fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement
that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes
a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority
to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance
are described below:
Level
1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
Level
2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability; or
Level
3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported
by little or no market activity).
The
warrant liabilities and fair value option on Restructured notes, are Level 3 fair value measurements.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets
The
Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant
such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted
cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated
cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in
a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and, as such, the Company records revenue
when its customers obtain control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects
to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will sell primarily to food service distributors, as well as to wholesalers,
retail establishments and seafood distributors. Additionally, the Company will sell or rent either the NSI Technologies or Equipment.
30
To
determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs
the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company,
which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, which includes shipment
of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Our
recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements included herein for the quarter
ended September 30, 2024.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 , “ Segment Reporting (Topic
280 ) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable
segments. The amendments require enhanced disclosure for certain segment items and required disclosure on how management uses reported
measures to assess segment performance. The amendments do not change how segments are determined, aggregated, or how thresholds are applied
to determine reportable segments. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2025 and interim periods beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”
which requires two primary enhancements of 1) disaggregated information on a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation,
and 2) information on cash income taxes paid. Additionally, specific disclosures related to unrecognized tax benefits and indefinite
reinvestment assertions were removed. For public business entities, the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging
- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities
and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing
guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features
and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception
from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s
own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises
the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments
by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an
instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier
than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the
fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of April 1,
2024, which had no impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
During
the period ending September 30, 2024, there were a few new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of
any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Not
Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition,
the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required
to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
The
Company’s 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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of
the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Based
upon that evaluation , our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described
below. Thus, there remains a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This does not include an evaluation by the Company’s registered public accounting
firm regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we cannot provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, to allow our principal financial and executive officers to make timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of September
30, 2024.
Management’s
evaluation was based on the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which existed as of March
31, 2024, and which continue to exist, as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K:
●
Inadequate
segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
●
Lack
of independent Board of Directors (as of the balance sheet date) and absence of Audit Committee to exercise oversight responsibility
related to financial reporting and internal control;
●
Lack
of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and
●
Lack
of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.
Our
management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls
and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements
or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Remediation
Plan
Management
continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such
that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.
The
remediation actions planned include:
●
Identify
gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company;
●
Establish
an independent Board of Directors and an Audit Committee to provide oversight for remediation efforts and ongoing guidance regarding
accounting, financial reporting, overall risks and the internal control environment;
●
Retain
additional accounting personnel with public company financial reporting, technical accounting, SEC compliance, and strategic financial
advisory experience to achieve adequate segregation of duties; and
●
Continue
to develop formal policies and procedures on accounting and internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness
of existing controls and procedures.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
