Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2025. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and
other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated
to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the
period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control
over Financing Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As
a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative
of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written
policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC
guidelines.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design
of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able
to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during
our fiscal year ending December 31, 2026: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective
risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts
set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required.
If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation
report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not
subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section
989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten
years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy
petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy
or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed,
suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting
his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction
(in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities
law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Audit Committee
We do not have a separately designated standing audit
committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the
board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves
the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial
reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with
management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures
and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent
auditor.
We do not have an audit committee financial expert
because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe that we do not require an audit committee financial
expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes as needed.
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the
board of directors:
1.
Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
2.
Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor’s independence.
3.
Based upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board of directors authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors
and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities
to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the
Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof)
received by us during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2025, all filings were timely made.
Code of Ethics
We adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives,
which include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing
similar functions. The Code of Ethics was filed as an exhibit to the annual report on Form 10KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2004 and filed with the SEC on April 14, 2005.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Currently, the objective of the cash compensation
paid by the company is to provide fair reimbursement for the time spent by our executive officer and independent directors to the extent
feasible within the financial constraints faced by our developing business. The stock options granted to our executive officer and to
our independent directors are intended to provide these individuals with incentives to pursue the growth and development of the company’s
operations and business opportunities. Although the options awarded to our executive and directors are typically exercisable immediately,
they also remain valid and exercisable for terms of several years. We believe this provides the proper balance of short-term and long-term
incentives to increase the value of the company. Although an immediate increase in share price following the issuance of the options would
obviously result in a profit if those options were exercised, the longer exercisable period of the options also provides an incentive
to increase value over the long term and gives our executive officer and directors the opportunity to realize gains based on the sustained
growth of our operations and revenues.
In addition, our sole executive officer holds substantial
ownership in the company and is generally motivated by a strong entrepreneurial interest in expanding our operations and revenue base
to the best of his ability.

On February 3, 2020, we entered into a License Agreement

all net sales on the licensed products subject to adjustment in certain situations plus a license fee payable in year 3 of the agreement
if it chooses to continue the license.
On June 10, 2020, Ovation Science Inc. paid the Company
the fee otherwise due in year 3 and in exchange the Company extended the term of Ovation’s license to 6-years and granted Ovation
additional rights to its hand sanitizer products and assigned Canadian Identification Numbers 02310589 and 02355558, all DermSafe Trademarks,
DermSafe clinical data and the right to patent DermSafe where not currently patented. In exchange for these rights Ovation paid a $100,000
license fee. The Company completed the required assignments during the year ending December 31, 2021 and recognized $100,000 in revenue.
The Company earned $0 and $0 in royalties under the
license agreement during the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company sold polymer products to Ovation Science
Inc and earned $0 and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

At the investor’s option until the repayment date, the note may be converted to shares of the Company’s common stock at a
fixed price of $0.10 per share along with warrants to purchase one share for every two shares issued at the exercise price of $0.15 per
