Controls and Procedures
−Removed: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our filings under
−Removed: the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
−Removed: the SEC’s rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
−Removed: Executive Officer (CEO), who is our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who is our principal financial and
−Removed: accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
−Removed: Our CEO and CFO have evaluated these disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 due to the material weaknesses discussed below.
−Removed: Notwithstanding
−Removed: the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, we

−Removed: connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we identified
−Removed: material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we are currently working to remediate, which relate to:
−Removed: insufficient segregation of duties in the financial statement close process;
−Removed: (b) a lack of sufficient levels of staff with public company
−Removed: and technical accounting experience to maintain proper control activities and perform risk assessment and monitoring activities;
−Removed: (c) insufficient information systems controls, including access and change management controls.
−Removed: We have concluded that these material
−Removed: weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting occurred because we did not have the necessary business processes, personnel
−Removed: and related internal controls to operate in a manner to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting timeline requirements of a public
−Removed: making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
−Removed: (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (issued in 2013).
−Removed: are focused on designing and implementing effective internal control measures to improve our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures,

−Removed: we have taken and plan to take the following actions:
−Removed: hiring and planned continued hiring of additional accounting staff with public company experience;
−Removed: Implementation

+Added: required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods

+Added: Chief Executive Officer, who serves as our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer, who serves as our principal accounting
+Added: officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
+Added: In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our
+Added: management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls
+Added: and procedures.
+Added: The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood

+Added: Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
+Added: of achieving the desired control objectives.
+Added: Our management, with the participation
+Added: of our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
+Added: disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

+Added: Management’s Annual
+Added: Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: Our management is responsible
+Added: for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Our internal control over financial reporting is
+Added: a process designed under the supervision of its principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors,
+Added: management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
+Added: its consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S.
+Added: generally accepted accounting principles.
+Added: Because of its inherent limitations,
+Added: internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
+Added: In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
+Added: to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance
+Added: with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: II - OTHER INFORMATION
+Added: Our management assessed the

+Added: Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
+Added: Based on this
+Added: assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025 was not effective.
+Added: A material weakness, as defined
+Added: in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), is a deficiency, or a combination
+Added: of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
+Added: of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: The ineffectiveness of our internal
+Added: control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small
+Added: number of staff:
+Added: lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner;
+Added: inadequate segregation of duties due to limited personnel consistent with control objectives;
+Added: lack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives;

+Added: Our management plans to implement
+Added: measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are

+Added: The remediation actions planned include:
+Added: identify gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company;
+Added: develop policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures;
+Added: continue the search for a qualified individual to fill our Chief Financial Officer position.
