NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AI Unlimited Group, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 24, 2022 under the name of Lever Global Corporation, which was then changed to AI Unlimited Group, Inc. on July 19, 2024. We are a fintech-driven consumer liabilities and debt management company. Our mission is to empower subscribers to use our App to become financially independent by managing all their liabilities and debt obligations in one place. Mr. McKendrick is the Company's Founder, CEO, and Director and has started several fintech companies focusing on credit and debt management for consumers and businesses since 2014. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Lever Technology, Inc. ("Lever Technology"), a California corporation. There are no operating activities for Lever Technology. In addition, on July 10, 2024 the Company entered into certain exchange agreements, with Nest Egg Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Nest Egg"), Resolve Debt, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("Resolve Debt") and Travl LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Travl"). Pursuant to the exchange agreements, Nest Egg, Resolve and Travl became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Nest Egg is an investment platform powered by artificial intelligence ("AI") with a focus on investing in the US and global stock markets using future-focused investment tools. It is designed to simplify investment strategies, making it easier for users to discover, plan, and automate their stock market investments. Nest Egg leverages advanced AI technology to provide personalized investment advice and automate trades, addressing the growing demand for user-friendly, digital-first financial solutions.
Resolve Debt is an AI first provider of advanced debt collection technology and accounts receivable automation solutions. The company leverages AI to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of debt recovery processes. Resolve Debt caters to financial institutions and businesses seeking to streamline their collections operations and improve scalable actions with customer experience first, through its AI-agents and AI-powered customer facing intelligent automation.
Travl.App by Travl, LLC is an AI-powered, innovative travel planning, savings and bookings platform designed to streamline and enhance the travel planning experience. It is the first travel app to help users plan, book, and save for their trips using AI. The app caters to travelers seeking seamless booking and itinerary management, offering a comprehensive suite of features that include booking accommodations, flights, and activities, all in one user-friendly application. The platform also provides personalized recommendations based on user preferences and travel history.
On July 25, 2023, the Company filed form 8-A12G to register these securities under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to provide greater transparency in financial statements so investors can make informed decisions before investing.
The Company had a soft launch of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 on the iOS App Store. Currently, the App allows the subscribers to analyze their existing student loans and recommend programs the US Department of Education offers after the initial assessment and processes enrollments into these programs. The App provides a list of qualified federal programs. The subscribers can digitally enroll in these programs by uploading or self-declaring their W-2, wage, or tax statements through the App. If subscribers are accepted for a federal program, the App manages their annual certifications for a monthly subscription fee. The average life of a loan is twenty-one years. The Company has partnered with Array US, Inc. to give subscribers personalized credit and financial data through the App, allowing them to understand their borrowing capacity better. The subscribers can also use the information to manage their credit scores.
In the four quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company added a round-up option, allowing subscribers to link their bank account and student loan to the App and select to pay a few cents per transaction towards the principal of their student loan. The App will have a feature showing the subscriber how the extra payments towards the loan will result in interest savings and reduce the loan term.
In fiscal 2024, the Company intends to offer its subscribers the tools in the App to directly negotiate and refinance their outstanding credit card and auto loans with their lenders. The Company plans to connect several credit card companies and auto loan providers to the App through API. It will also provide more ways to save, spend, and invest through development, acquisition, and key hires across these technologies. The Company also plans to launch the App officially in the App Store and Play Store in fiscal 2024. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans.
We are a development stage entity devoting all of its efforts to substantially establishing our flagship product, the Lever App ("App"). The App's official launch is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company had a soft launch of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. There was no significant revenue for the fiscal year that ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. Congress recently passed a law preventing further extensions of the payment pause. Student loan interest will resume starting September 1, 2023, and payments will be due in October 2023. We expect to resume subscription in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
F-7 |
NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The App will help the subscriber manage and resolve liabilities such as credit cards, student loans, and other types of consumer debts through continued education and recommendations on how and when to refinance the student loan with the Department of Education, federal student loan prequalification and enrollment, access credit scores, and other features that enable subscribers to manage their debt obligations smartly, intuitively, and cost-effectively. The Company initially intends to target student debt holders in the United States as its primary customer base. The Company believes that manually managing liabilities is complex and time-consuming, which involves actively monitoring personal finances, estimating payments, negotiating with lenders, and finding the proper federal and state grants and loan arrangements. It is difficult to maintain and monitor these loan terms with annual renewals that can last up to twenty-one (21) years on average.
The Company believes the student loan borrower will benefit from the App. Our Application Program Interface (APIs) and artificial intelligence (AI) driven programming connect them to the right and relevant federal loan programs with the most favorable terms - qualifying amount and rate, enrolling, and saving with a few clicks. The Lever App further informs the subscribers when and how to refinance their student loans.
Based on the inputs the subscriber provides, the Lever App provides visual guidelines on how the subscriber's budget and spending suit their current and future liabilities, including their student loan repayments, and provides a smarter way to repay their debts through features like payment round-ups and extra repayment recommendations, to help a subscriber pay off the liabilities smarter, without affecting their existing spending habits.
The Lever App provides subscribers instant matches through Student Aid, the largest provider of financial aid for college in the United States, and other Federal student aid programs. The subscriber can access the complex world of student debt management in an easy four-step process through the Lever App, which includes:
● | Basic subscriber information per KYC requirements, | |
● | The subscriber links one or multiple loans in real-time, also known as Enrollment, | |
● | The software matches with up to three (3) options to manage loans (deferment or forbearance or reduced payments, etc.), and | |
● | The subscriber picks the best option to connect to the best United States Government aid program to complete the application. |
Once subscribers sync their respective liabilities and loans with the Lever App, the software automates with a data-driven algorithm to match users with better ways to repay debts, such as providing automation for snowball or avalanche plans and extra repayment recommendations for managing liabilities. The App also includes credit score insights and payment round-up technology using open banking protocols that help and recommend that loan borrowers contribute micro amounts towards their loan principal, saving on years of interest and reaching financial independence faster and better with the App.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Business Strategy
Our experienced Management and in-house software development team have carefully designed various B2C debt management solutions to meet the needs of borrowers in the United States and globally. We intend to grow our core business, increase market share, and improve profitability principally by deploying the following growth strategies:
● | Complete version 1 of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 with the soft launch, and launch the App officially to the public in the third quarter of fiscal 2023; | |
● | Ramp up subscriber acquisition through our digital and traditional marketing strategies; | |
● | Continue to enhance and promote our core proprietary liabilities and debt management app and introduce other innovative repayments, finance, and spending features for United States consumers; | |
● | Future growth will depend on the timely development and successful distribution of the Lever App by signing enterprise and employer deals in the United States; | |
● | Increase our software development capabilities to develop disruptive and next-generation machine learning and artificial intelligence-driven technologies to grow and retain subscriber base; | |
● | Grow subscriber base through accretive acquisitions, opportunistic investments, and beneficial partnerships; and; | |
● | Recognize and enter high-growth markets to expand our services to meet the demand for other financial solutions, including but not limited to auto-save and auto loan repayment from day-to-day debit card usage and investments such as IRAs and 401Ks. |
With the U.S. Department of Education confirming the resumption of interest on student loans from September 1, 2023, and repayments resuming October 1, 2023. Student loans represent a significant financial commitment for millions of individuals, often serving as the primary means to fund higher education. These federal or private loans accrue interest over time, increasing the total amount borrowers owe. The resumption of student loan payments, especially after periods of forbearance or deferment, can bring about additional costs. The Company is poised to support millions of students and graduates. The impending resumption of student loan interest, set to impact approximately 43 million (1) Americans, marks a pivotal moment in the financial landscape. Lever has been proactive in anticipation of announcing a strategic equity raise in Q4 2023. This initiative aims to bolster the company's resources, allowing for expansion into new markets, enhancing user experience, and integrating advanced credit intelligence features. Over the past nine months, the Company has undergone significant business and tech developments, from streamlining its UX/UI to introducing a simplified identification system, ensuring users can easily navigate their loan management.
We expect our customer acquisition cost (CAC) to be around $30per user. With each user subscription priced at $79.99annually, the Company anticipates a consistent revenue stream for an average duration of 10 years, translating to roughly 120 payments over 10 years of users' annual subscription. This results in a substantial lifetime value per customer. However, with the introduction of iOS 14, there are anticipated challenges in data-driven marketing, leading to a projected increase in CAC by 30%. This shift is primarily attributed to the enhanced privacy features of iOS monthly14, which could potentially increase the costs of targeted advertising. However, we remain committed to our growth strategy and future price increases over time. The Company has earmarked a budget of approximately $150,000per month for marketing and sales initiatives. With this investment, Lever aims to onboard around 5,000 new user subscriptions each month, ensuring a steady influx of customers and maintaining a robust growth trajectory.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Marketing and Sales
The Company aims to be flexible and responsive to its sales and marketing strategies to provide an omnichannel customer experience. Therefore, we primarily focus on different subscriber acquisition channels to expand our paid customer base. The Company is actively integrating digital and traditional marketing channels effectively, as we believe these are scalable channels and that one-size fits most customers no longer work. Our marketing strategy identifies and targets student borrowers who are high-value/high-potential subscribers. We have found that these customers are often more receptive to a digital marketing strategy that includes SEO marketing, an intuitive website experience, targeted emails/ content, educational blogs, and active social media engagement involving celebrities and influencers. For traditional marketing, such as conferences, trade shows, expos, media events, and direct meetings, the senior Management person provides presentations, gives media interviews, and engages potential subscribers at events.
We have designed our marketing and sales strategies to drive prospective subscribers to the Play Store and App Store, where they can download our App.
The Company has proactively established partnerships with leading student loan advisors, selectively targeting areas with a dense population of graduates in key states. Our marketing efforts have secured access to over 400,000 recent graduates across key states, including California, Texas, and Washington. The tech-savvy graduate pool in California has proven to be an excellent match for the capabilities of our App. Texas offers a promising landscape for our market expansion due to its large student community and strong economic climate. In Washington, the supportive regulatory framework and emphasis on educational finance among the student community align with our services.
In San Antonio, our marketing strategies are designed to leverage the substantial number of student loan borrowers, as demonstrated by the 164,000 loan forgiveness applicants. We intend to establish collaborative efforts with the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and San Antonio College to conduct the App workshops to enhance financial literacy and support effective debt management.
In California, where student debt volume is among the nation's highest, our strategy involves engaging with premier educational institutions, including UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Stanford. We aim to showcase the App's utility and tap into the region's influential financial leaders to extend our influence.
In Washington, D.C., the hub of the highest average student loan debt, our approach includes aligning with educational institutions and policymakers. Our focus is on hosting webinars and strategic sessions that position the App as an essential resource for managing the intricacies of student debt.
The App's official launch is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company intends to use traditional marketing strategies such as billboard signage, digital TV ads, creating video-on-demand advertising, and attending events at schools, colleges, and university campuses after the App's official launch. Currently, the Company uses only online marketing, mainly social media campaigns, including engagement of celebrities and influencers and educational and other incentives-based posts on social media, to drive online traffic to its websites or directly to the App Store.
The Company implements an effective marketing funnel where we map out our subscribers' journey from where they are the lead and then tailor strategies to encourage them to move through this funnel.
We also utilize many indirect channels where a network of industry professionals, introducing and referring affiliates as third parties, promote our services in exchange for performance-based compensation. In most cases, affiliates carry out the lead generation function, while the Company's staff provides subscribers and technical support to subscribers.
Most of the marketing and branding initiatives are taken in-house by our team. The Company may hire outside marketing and branding consultants and advertising firms from time to time.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The Company, at its core, is dedicated to addressing the complexities of student loan management in the U.S., a challenge faced by millions. Our marketing strategy to concentrate on San Antonio, California, and Washington stems from the unique financial landscapes of these regions. San Antonio's many loan forgiveness applicants, California's immense combined student debt, and Washington, D.C.'s distinction of the nation's highest average student debt highlight the acute need for our solutions in these areas. For Q4 2024, the Company anticipates a surge in user engagement, especially with the equity capital raise and the resumption of student loan interests. With its close-knit community, San Antonio is expected to see a rapid word-of-mouth spread, while California, given its vast student population, might witness the highest user acquisition. Washington, D.C., with its policy-driven environment, will likely see a steady increase in users seeking informed loan management solutions.
Moving into Q3 2024 , the Company foresees a consolidation phase. The initial buzz from the Q4 campaigns would mature into stable user engagement. With its tech-savvy population, California might lead in terms of app interactions and feature utilization. San Antonio and Washington D.C. are expected to grow consistently, with more users transitioning from awareness to active usage.
In Q3 2024, the Company started its marketing campaign targeted towards over 400,000 student loan borrowers with a robust borrower base in all three regions . The focus would shift from acquisition to retention, emphasizing user feedback and app enhancements. The Company expects San Antonio to have the highest retention rates, California to show increased referrals, and Washington, D.C., to provide valuable policy advocacy and partnership insights.
Beyond these quarters, our vision is to solidify its position in these states while using the insights and successes from these regions as a blueprint for expansion into other potential markets across the U.S. The ultimate goal is to make the Company synonymous with student loan management, offering tailored solutions for every American student and graduate.
Industry and Competitive Analysis
A student loan is money that the federal government and private institutions lend to students or parents to finance post-secondary education. Most students who get a bachelor's degree finance their education with one or more student loans. Student loans are the largest source of debt in the United States after mortgages. Student loans do not require the borrower to provide collateral, such as a house or a car, to guarantee the loan. The interest payment on the student loan is tax-deductible up to a maximum of $2,500. However, student loans are usually disbursed directly to the educational institution's financial aid office. The loans can only be used to cover tuition, college fees, room and board, living expenses while at college, and books. In most cases, bankruptcy laws do not allow the discharge of student loans under bankruptcy.
Public and Private Student Debt
43.4million student loan borrowers in the United States owe a collective nearly $1.75 trillionin federal and private student loan debt as of April 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (1). According to a July 2021 report by MeasureOne (2), academic data firm - about 92% of student debt is owned by the US Department of Education, referred to as public student debt. The balance of student debt, referred to as Private Student Loans, makes up 7.89% of the total outstanding US student loans, equal to $131.10billion.Average Student Loans
The average student debt is estimated to be $28,950and $71,000for graduate and post-graduate students. The average US household with student debt owes $57,520, according to NerdWallet's 2020 household debt study.
Parent PLUS loans (3) are direct federal loans parents can use to pay for their dependent child's education. According to federal loan data, the average outstanding parent PLUS loan debt is $28,778. Total parent PLUS debt: $104.8billion distributed among 3.7million parent PLUS borrowers.
Status of Student Loan Repayment (4)
The government offered student loan relief in 2020, which caused forbearance spikes and data suspension from federal agencies. There are 6.42 million federal loan borrowers in school, 1.17 million federal borrowers in the grace period, 460,000 federal loan borrowers in repayment, 3.05 million federal loan borrowers in deferment, and 26.78 million federal loan borrowers with loans in forbearance.

Borrowers can also postpone private student loan payments via deferment or forbearance, but interest always accrues regardless of whether the borrower makes payments. If public student loan borrowers can't make payments, they can postpone them through deferment or forbearance. Interest typically accrues during these periods, but borrowers with subsidized loans don't owe the interest that accrues during deferment.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The US Government paused federal student loan repayments and interest during the pandemic throughout 2021 and extended it into the fall of 2022. Despite the freeze, student loan balances still increased as newer loans entered repayment, despite no current payment due on most loans.
Status of Student Loan Default (5)
Student loan default happens after a missed payment period after approximately 270 days (or nine months) past due. Private student loans typically default after three missed payments (typically three months). Still, according to the lender's terms and conditions, it can happen after one missed payment. Around 9.7% of student loan borrowers default after entering repayment within a couple of years.
Student Loan Forgiveness Options
The US Government provides several student loan forgiveness options and plans, including but not limited to:
● | Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) or PSLF Waiver- forgives the remaining balance on your Direct Loans after making 120 qualifying monthly payments under a qualifying repayment plan while working full-time for a qualifying employer. | |
● | Income-driven repayment forgiveness - sets your monthly student loan payment at an amount intended to be affordable based on your income and family size. | |
● | Borrower defense to repayment - if the school misled or engaged in other misconduct in violation of certain state laws, the student borrower might be eligible for "borrower defense to loan repayment," to the discharge of some or all of federal student loan debt, and | |
● | Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA - is the application for financial aid completed by current and prospective college students in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid. |
We believe the personal debt management industry is highly fragmented and diversified, with several large and small companies offering various debt management solutions. Our direct and indirect competition includes but is not limited to HR benefits platforms, round-up saving and investing apps, personal finance and credit bureau platforms, personal finance educational tools, and other personal debt management companies. General financial content providers may also be considered indirect competition. Our target market is student loan borrowers looking to better their financial future by paying their loans and saving money. We offer a unique solution catered to student loan management in the most comprehensive and user-friendly way for the borrower and the servicer.
Our industry is active in mergers and acquisitions of digital debt management software companies by large and well-capitalized companies looking for complementary services. For example, in July 2018, LendingTree, Inc. (NASDAQ: TREE) announced today that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Student Loan Hero, Inc.(6), a personal finance website dedicated to helping student loan borrowers manage their student debt. In April 2021, Acorns, the Californian investment and savings app, landed its second acquisition of 2021 with artificial intelligence (AI) start-up Pillar (7).

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
According to the Harvard Kennedy School report (8), the fintech industry deals with the dangers of potential misuse and abuse of consumer data. This includes but is not limited to the loss of privacy, violation of data security, increasing risks of fraud and scams, unfair and discriminatory uses of data and data analytics against rules and regulations, uses of data that are non-transparent to both consumers and regulators; harmful manipulation of consumer behavior; and risks that tech firms entering the financial or financial regulatory space will lack adequate knowledge, operational effectiveness, and stability.
The student loan forgiveness debate has entered the national conversation. White House officials plan to cancel $10,000in student debt per borrower after months of internal deliberations over structuring loan forgiveness for tens of millions of Americans. According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan think tank, wiping out $10,000of debt per borrower could cost roughly $230billion.
The Company firmly believes that the student loan industry will continue to be the fastest-growing source of debt for United States households. Student loans are now the largest source of unsecured debt in the United States. They have become a financial industry, especially with its secondary market and student loan asset-backed securities.

Consolidated Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates
The Company prepared the consolidated financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website and software development costs, and the recoverability of tangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets.
Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Total cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with three months or less of original maturities. The Company maintains its cash balances at a single financial institution. The balances did not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits as of June 30, 2024. On June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had $173,220and $11,012cash and cash equivalent held at the financial institution.
Sales, Marketing, and Advertising

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash
Total cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with three months or less of original maturities. The Company maintains its cash balances at a single financial institution. The balances exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits as of June 30, 2024. On June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had $173,220and $11,012cash and cash equivalent held at the financial institution.
Research and Development (R and D) Cost
The Company acknowledges that future benefits from research and development (R and D) are uncertain. It cannot capitalize all the R and D. The GAAP accounting standards require us to expense all research and development expenditures as incurred. There were noR and D expenditures for the six months ending June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Legal Proceedings
The Company discloses a loss contingency if at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss with no best estimate; the Company records the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability of pending legal proceedings, revises its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company's legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded as expenses when incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment following FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We test long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or circumstances change to indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount if and when the asset's carrying value exceeds the fair value. There are noimpairment charges for the six months period ending June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates applicable each year.
The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions ("tax contingencies"). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and benefits, requiring periodic adjustments, which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the operations' consolidated statements. The Company's Management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next twelve (12) months.

Contributed Software Code
At the inception, Lever Holdings provided the working base source code for the launch of the Company, valued at $772,000, as the contributed tangible software. The Company estimated the value of the source code using the cost approach as the related party contributed to it. The Company attributed 100% value to the cost approach, closest to the actual value of developing the source code.
Software Development Costs
By ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after establishing technical feasibility, if significant. Using the straight-line amortization method over the application software's estimated useful life, we amortize the capitalized software development costs.
The Company established the technical feasibility of the Lever App's design specifications for the US market in 2022. By the end of March 31, 2022, the Company completed the activities (planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it can launch and market the App. The Company is revising the user interface and building additional features to better the App for official public launch in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
The Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (3) years. Amortization expense were $128,666and $86,273for the six months ending in June 30, 2024, and 2023, and the Company classifies such costs as software amortization costs.
Capitalized Software Costs
At June 30, 2024, the gross capitalized software assets were $824,916. At the end of June 30, 2024, accumulated software amortization expenses were $441,058. As a result, the unamortized balance of capitalized software on June 30, 2024, was $824,916.
At December 31, 2023, the gross capitalized software assets were $1,265,974. At the end of December 31, 2023, accumulated software amortization expenses were $230,063. As a result, the unamortized balance of capitalized software on December 31, 2023, was $1,035,912.
The Company launched version 1 of the App in August 2022. As a result, we are amortizing the gross capitalized cost as an amortization expense, which the Company classifies as such.
Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement
The Company translates its foreign operations to US dollars following ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters."
We have translated the local currency of ADS, the Australian Dollar ("AUD"), into US$1.00 at the following exchange rates for the respective dates:
The exchange rate at the reporting end date:
June 30, 2024 | ||||
USD: AUD | $ | 1.4977 |
Average exchange rate for the period:
January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024 |
||||
USD: AUD | $ | 1.5153 |
The Company related party transactions were in AUD, and its reporting currency is the US dollar.
F-16 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company translates its records into USD as follows:
● | Assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date | |
● | Equities at the historical rate | |
● | Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period |
Fair Value
The Company uses current market values to recognize certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. The fair value is the estimated price at which the Company can sell the asset or settle a liability in an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions. The Company uses the following methods and valuation techniques for deriving fair values:
Market Approach - The market approach uses the prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities to derive a fair value.
Income Approach - The income approach uses estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate representing the time value of money and the risk of cash flows not being achieved to derive a discounted present value.
Cost Approach - The cost approach uses the estimated cost to replace an asset adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.
The Company ranks the fair value hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (best) to Level 3 (worst). The Company uses these three levels to select inputs for valuation techniques:
Level I | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||
Level 1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. Level 1 is the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used whenever this information is available. | Level 2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for a business unit based on comparable companies' sales, EBITDA, or net income. | Level 3 is an unobservable input. It may include the Company's data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples of a Level 3 input are an internally-generated financial forecast. |
Lever Holdings provided the working base source code for the launch of the Company, valued at $758,316as the contributed tangible software. The Company estimated the value of the source code using the cost approach as the related party contributed it. The Company attributed 100% value to the cost approach, closest to the actual value of developing the source code.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share ("EPS") calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company had 68,632,672basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding, respectively.
During the six months ending June 30, 2024, and 2023, common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive due to a net loss. Hence, they are not considered in the computation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process; an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from customers' contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 2, Revenue from Major Contracts with Customers, for further discussion on the Company's accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments to this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities. The Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this policy as of January 1, 2020, and there is no material affect on its financial reporting.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The amendments removed and modified certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain amendments are to be applied prospectively, while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company adopted the ASU 2018-13 as of March 24, 2022. The Company used the Level 1I and II Fair Market Measurement to record, at cost, source code as tangible assets valued at $758,316. We evaluate contributed tangible software for impairment at least annually to confirm if the carrying amount of contributed tangible software exceeds their fair value. The contributed tangible software primarily consists of the source code of the Lever Debt App, fundamental testing of the App in a similar market, and a relationship with the software development and marketing team. We use various qualitative or quantitative methods for these impairment tests to estimate the fair value of our contributed tangible software. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference. The Company did not record impairment for March 31, 2023.
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", issued in August 2020 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to present certain conversion features in equity separately. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring the use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity's ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect this ASU 2020-06 to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by Management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary business course. On June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the accumulated deficit was $5,639,489and $4,908,051. On June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the working capital deficit were $952,700and $610,897. The decrease in the working capital surplus was mainly due to an increase in accounts payable and related party loans.
There was norevenue for the six months ending June 30, 2024, and 2023. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had $173,220and $11,012cash on hand. The Management believes that cash on hand may not be sufficient for the Company to meet working capital and corporate development needs as they become due in the ordinary course of business for twelve (12) months following December 31, 2023. From inception to June 30, 2024, the Company did not earn any significant revenues. The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its financial technologies.
Management has considered various factors in evaluating the Company's sustainability and the ability to manage obligations due within a year. Management has considered general economic conditions, key industry metrics, operating results, capital expenditures, commitments, and future obligations and liquidity. If there is a delay in generating significant revenues by the end of December 31, 2024, the Company will require capital infusion from new and existing investors, streamlining operating costs, and evaluating new business strategies to enhance cash flow from operations.
The Management expects that it will need to raise significant additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over the next twelve (12) months. The Management expects to seek additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms such as financing and capital might be available.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern may depend on the Management's plans discussed below. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
To the extent the Company's operations are insufficient to fund the Company's capital requirements, the Management may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or issuance of debt.
The Management intends to continue enhancing its revenue from its Lever App subscription model, which it expects to launch in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. In the meantime, the Company expects to raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. See Note 8 for Notes Payable. As the Company increases its subscription base in the United States, it intends to acquire long-lived assets to provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2024.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This Quarterly Report Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth as a result of general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.
AI Unlimited Group, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 24, 2022 under the name of Lever Global Corporation, which was then changed to AI Unlimited Group, Inc. on July 19, 2024. We are a fintech-driven consumer liabilities and debt management company. Our mission is to empower subscribers to use our App to become financially independent by managing all their liabilities and debt obligations in one place. Mr. McKendrick is the Company's Founder, CEO, and Director and has started several fintech companies focusing on credit and debt management for consumers and businesses since 2014. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Lever Technology, Inc. ("Lever Technology"), a California corporation. There are no operating activities for Lever Technology. In addition, on July 10, 2024 the Company entered into certain exchange agreements, with Nest Egg Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Nest Egg"), Resolve Debt, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("Resolve Debt") and Travl LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Travl"). Pursuant to the exchange agreements, Nest Egg, Resolve and Travl became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Nest Egg is an investment platform powered by artificial intelligence ("AI") with a focus on investing in the US and global stock markets using future-focused investment tools. It is designed to simplify investment strategies, making it easier for users to discover, plan, and automate their stock market investments.

Travl.App by Travl, LLC is an AI-powered, innovative travel planning, savings and bookings platform designed to streamline and enhance the travel planning experience. It is the first travel app to help users plan, book, and save for their trips using AI. The app caters to travelers seeking seamless booking and itinerary management, offering a comprehensive suite of features that include booking accommodations, flights, and activities, all in one user-friendly application. The platform also provides personalized recommendations based on user preferences and travel history.
The Company had a soft launch of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 on the iOS App Store. Currently, the app allows subscribers to analyze their existing student loans and recommend programs offered by the US Department of Education after the initial assessment and to process enrollment into these programs. The App provides a list of qualified federal programs. The subscribers can digitally enroll in these programs by uploading or self-declaring their W-2, wage, or tax statements through the App. If subscribers are accepted for a federal program, the App manages their annual certifications for a monthly subscription fee. The average life of a loan is twenty-one years. The Company has partnered with Array US, Inc. to give subscribers personalized credit and financial data through the App, allowing them to understand their borrowing capacity better. The subscribers can also use the information to manage their credit scores.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company added a round-up option, allowing subscribers to link their bank account and student loan to the App and select to pay a few cents per transaction towards the principal of their student loan. The App will have a feature showing the subscriber how the extra payments towards the loan will result in interest savings and reduce the loan term.
In fiscal 2023, the Company offered its subscribers the tools in the App to directly negotiate and refinance their outstanding credit card and auto loans with their lenders. The Company plans to connect several credit card companies and auto loan providers to the App through API. As well as provide more ways to save, spend, and invest through the development, acquisition, and key hires across these technologies. The Company also plans to officially launch the App in the App Store and Play Store in the fiscal year 2024. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in future plans.
The App allows everyday people to directly negotiate, enroll, repay, and settle student loans for the US market without the complexity and confusion of the fine print. The App helps subscribers with debt management - negotiation, repayment, and settlement. We are committed to providing our subscribers with impartial guidance in their journey toward financial independence. The App will be available on the Play Store (Android) and App Store (iOS) under Lever App (the "App") as its brand name for a subscription-based fee billed monthly or annually.
The App will help the subscriber directly negotiate debt through continued education and recommendations on how and when to refinance the student loan, federal student loan prequalification and enrollment, access credit scores, and other features that enable subscribers to manage their debt obligations smartly, intuitively, and cost-effectively. The Company initially intends to target student debt holders in the United States as its primary customer base. The Company believes that manually managing debt is complex and time-consuming, which involves actively monitoring personal finances, estimating payments, negotiating with lenders, and finding the proper federal and state grants and loan arrangements. Maintaining and monitoring these loan terms with annual renewals that can last up to twenty-one (21) years on average isn't easy.
A student loan default has severe consequences for the borrower as it damages the borrower's credit score, making it difficult to qualify for future loans. Still, the borrower may also be subject to wage garnishment when the lender automatically takes a portion of the paycheck to repay the loan. In addition, defaulting on a student loan can lead to the seizure of tax refunds and Social Security benefits. The Company believes that if borrowers struggle to make student loan payments, it's crucial to act before falling too far behind. The Lever App allows the borrower to contact the loan servicer to discuss options, including deferment or forbearance. The Company believes acting through its intuitive technology can help them avoid the devastating consequences of student loan default.

The Company believes the student loan borrower will benefit from the App. Our Application Program Interface (APIs) and artificial intelligence (AI) driven programming connect them to the right and relevant federal loan programs with the most favorable terms - qualifying amount and rate, enroll and save with a few clicks. The Lever App further informs the subscribers when and how to refinance their student loans. Based on the subscriber's inputs, the Lever App provides visual guidelines on how the subscriber's budget and spending suit their student loan repayments.
The Lever App provides subscribers instant matches through Student Aid, the largest provider of financial aid for college in the United States, and other Federal student aid programs. The subscriber can access the complex world of student debt management in an easy four-step process through the Lever App, which includes:
● | Basic subscriber information per KYC requirements, | |
● | The subscriber links one or multiple loans in real-time, also known as Enrollment, | |
● | The software matches with up to three (3) options to manage loans (deferment or forbearance or reduced payments, etc.), and | |
● | The subscriber picks the best option to connect to the best United States Government aid program to complete the application. |
Once subscribers sync their respective loans with the Lever App, the software automates with a data-driven algorithm to match users with qualifying federal loan programs. The App also provides credit score insights and payment round-up technology using open banking protocols that help and recommend that loan borrowers contribute micro amounts towards their loan principal, save on years of interest, and reach financial independence faster and better with the App.
The Company expects to continue to earn revenues through a subscription-based model, which will charge monthly recurring fees to subscribers. The Company is developing and testing the App, which it expects to market and launch in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The App will be available on the App Store and PlayStore.
With the U.S. Department of Education confirming the resumption of interest on student loans from September 1, 2023, and repayments resuming October 1, 2023. Student loans represent a significant financial commitment for millions of individuals, often serving as the primary means to fund higher education. These federal or private loans accrue interest over time, increasing the total amount borrowers owe. The resumption of student loan payments, especially after periods of forbearance or deferment, can bring about additional costs. The Company is poised to support millions of students and graduates. The impending resumption of student loan interest, set to impact approximately 43 million (1) Americans, marks a pivotal moment in the financial landscape. Lever has been proactive in anticipation of announcing a strategic equity raise in Q3 2024 and is currently engaging leading brokers and professional advisors to undertake a push towards a national stock exchange. This initiative aims to bolster the company's resources, allowing for expansion into new markets, enhancing user experience, and integrating advanced credit intelligence features. Over the past nine months, the Company has undergone significant business and tech developments, from streamlining its UX/UI to introducing a simplified identification system, ensuring users can easily navigate their loan management.
We are a development stage entity devoting all our efforts to substantially establishing our flagship product, the Lever App ("App"). The App officially launched in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company had earned no significant revenues for the six months ending June 30, 2024, and 2023. The Company did not generate any revenues in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Our independent auditors have raised concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect the Company to raise significant additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that financing and/or capital might be available to the Company.

● | Ramp up subscriber acquisition through our digital and traditional marketing strategies; | |
● | Continue to enhance and promote our core proprietary debt management platform and introduce other innovative debt management tools for the United States student loan borrowers; | |
● | Future growth will depend on the timely development and successful distribution of the Lever App by signing enterprise and employer deals in the United States; | |
● | Increase our software development capabilities to develop disruptive and next-generation machine learning and artificial intelligence-driven technologies to grow and retain subscriber base; | |
● | Grow subscriber base through accretive acquisitions, opportunistic investments, and beneficial partnerships; and | |

Financial Conditions at June 30, 2024
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $173,220 and $11,012 cash to execute its business plan and accumulated a deficit of $5,639,489 and $4,908,051. The Company had a working capital deficit of $952,700 and $610,897. Lever Holdings provided the working base source code for the launch of the Company, valued at $758,316, the contributed tangible software.
The Company believes it has the necessary funding and in-house capabilities to develop and successfully launch the App. The Company budgets $500,000 for sales and marketing campaigns in the next twelve months. Should we require additional capital to the extent the Company's operations are insufficient to fund its capital requirements, the Company may attempt to raise capital through the issuance of equity or debt. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern may depend on Management's plans' success. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company did not generate any revenue during the six months ending June 30, 2024, and 2023. Dring the six months ending June 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company had a net income loss of $731,469 and $795,275.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2024, we had a cash balance of $173,220. The Company had a working capital deficit of $952,700 on June 30, 2024.
Since its inception, the Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Management believes that cash on hand may not be sufficient for the Company to meet working capital and corporate development needs as they become due in the ordinary course of business for twelve (12) months following June 30, 2024. The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its financial technologies. We expect to conduct the planned operations for twelve months using currently available capital resources. The Management anticipates raising additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over the next twelve months. We do not have any plans or specific agreements for new funding sources. The Management expects to seek additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms such as financing and capital might be available.
In the next twelve months, the Company will continue to invest in sales, marketing, product support, development of technology solutions, and enhancement of existing technology to serve our customers. We expect capital expenditure to increase to up to $250,000 in the next twelve months to support the growth, which mainly includes software development, acquisition of complementary software, and purchasing of computers and servers. In addition, the Company estimates additional expenditure needed to be $500,000, which provides $100,000 and $400,000 for sales & marketing, and working capital, respectively.
For the next six to nine months, we intend to raise funding and make use of the existing cash on hand, and cash flows from operations to fund our operating activities and other cash commitments, such as related party payments and material capital expenditures . However, we may need additional funds to achieve a sustainable sale where ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or, if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.

GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
For the six months ending June 30, 2024, and 2023, and since inception, the Company did not earn any significant revenues. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company accumulated a deficit of $5,639,489 and $4,908,051. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for Form S-1/A (Amendment 3) filed on September 19, 2022, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result in the Company being unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We have based our Management's discussion, and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements, which we have prepared following the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material and uncertain in the current economic environment due to COVID-19.
In more detail, we have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our Form S-/A (Amendment 3) statements filed with the SEC on September 19, 2022. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an "emerging growth company," defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves of the delayed adoption of new or revised accounting standards. Therefore, we will adopt new or revised generally accepted accounting principles in the United States on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC's Regulation S-B. We did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. We have adopted this ASU as of the inception date of March 24, 2022, for ASC 606, Revenue Recognition and Amended ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840). The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. While we have described significant accounting policies in more detail in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in Form S-/A (Amendment 3) statements filed with the SEC on September 19, 2022, we believe the accounting policies as described in Note 2 to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS. |
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (together, the "Certifying Officers"), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Report on Internal Controls over Financial 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, as amended. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any effectiveness evaluation in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on June 30, 2024. Based on our assessments, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, due to the material weakness in our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping.
Management intends to implement remediation steps to improve our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing the size and composition of our board upon the closing of the business, identifying third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications, and considering additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals and implemented additional layers of reviews in the internal controls and financial reporting process.
This Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the sixmonths ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting materially.
