Note 2 -RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In September 2024, the Company concluded that for shares issued pursuant to the Exchange Exemption in Rule 3(a)(9), the company historically valued these shares at the same price as an ongoing capital raise pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. In retrospect this approximation of Fair value based on the recommendations with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement, was not concluded to be precise enough, and that we would need to define a more precise value based on market price at the time of issuance. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 820 concerning for Lack of Registration Premium, shares that are restricted for six months under SEC Rule 144 generally see a 20%-30% discount on market price. The Company has opted for a 25% discount to the market price at the date of issuance based on the Company's elevated volatility, and to the illiquidity of the high amount of shares issued in these transactions.
Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that its previously issued Financial Statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Affected Periods") should be restated because of a misapplication in the guidance around the valuation for certain of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") and should no longer be relied upon.
Impact of the Restatement
The impact of the restatement on the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the Affected Periods is presented below. The restatement had no net impact on net cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.

There is no change to total stockholders' equity at any reported balance sheet date
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Cash
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of the Company's stock, stock-based compensation, valuation of warrants, valuations in connection with convertible notes and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Net Loss per Common Share, basic and diluted
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260-10"). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into Common Stock using the "treasury stock" and/or "if converted" methods as applicable.
As explained further below, at September 30, 2024, we would, based on the market price of $0.11/share, be obligated to issue approximately 11,604,400shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the currently outstanding 2021 convertible note (the "2021 Note"), based on $928,352in outstanding principal and interest. The 2021 Note carry an interest rate of 10% and is convertible at a fixed exercise price of $0.08/share.Upon exercise of outstanding warrants 1,292,030shares could be issued, along with an additional 1,130,114shares for warrants with dilutive exercise. As explained further below, the 2021 stock plan has 26,712,247stock or options to purchase or receive grants of shares of Common Stock available for grant, and currently there are no stock options outstanding.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date pursuant to ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company over the requisite service period, or vesting period, in the same expense classifications in the statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.
Accounting for subsidiary stock transactions
The Company accounts for subsidiary stock transactions in accordance with Opinions of the Accounting Principles Board 09 (APBO No. 9). In paragraph 28, this pronouncement excluded all adjustments from transactions in a company's own stock "…from the determination of net income or the results of operations under all circumstances."
8 |
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development ("ASC 730-10"). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $78,000in research and development expenses, while during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $604,771.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
Valuation of intangibles are in accordance with ASC 350. Costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating seventeen years. Capitalized patent costs, also referred to as patent prosecution costs, include internal legal labor, professional legal fees, government filing fees and translation fees related to expanding the Company's patent portfolio. Costs associated with the maintenance and annuity fees of patents are accounted for as prepaid assets at the time of payment and amortized over the shorter of the maintenance period or remaining life of the related patent.
Accrued Expenses
As part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate accrued expenses. This process involves identifying services that third parties have performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred on these services as at each balance sheet date in our consolidated financial statements. Examples of estimated accrued expenses include professional service fees, such as those arising from the services of attorneys and accountants and accrued payroll expenses. In connection with these service fees, our estimates are most affected by our understanding of the status and timing of services provided relative to the actual services incurred by the service providers. In the event that we do not identify certain costs that have been incurred or we under, or over, estimate the level of services or costs of such services, our reported expenses for a reporting period could be understated or overstated. The date on which certain services commence, the level of services performed on or before a given date, and the cost of services are often subject to our judgment. We make these judgments based upon the facts and circumstances known to us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
Warrants
The Company has issued Common Stock warrants in connection with the execution of certain equity and debt financings. The fair value of warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using assumptions regarding volatility of our common share price, remaining life of the warrant, and risk-free interest rates at each period end.
Fair Value
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
9 |
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10") and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
The valuation of shares issued under an exemption from registration, such as under Rule 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, typically relates to ASC 820 (Fair Value Measurement) under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This accounting standard provides guidance on how to measure fair value when required for financial reporting purposes. Among other notable considerations the Company highlights;
● | When valuing shares in an exchange under Rule 3(a)(9), the conversion terms and the value of the securities being exchanged (debt, other equity, etc.) must be considered. If the company is offering a premium or discount as part of the exchange, this would impact the fair value measurement; |
Based on Empirical Evidence and Studies, for restricted stock in public companies, the liquidity discount averages around 20%-30%, based on, but not limited to, the following data;
○ | Liquidity of the Security: |
■ | If the company has low trading volumes and investors may find it difficult to sell shares, the discount could be on the higher end of the range (e.g., 30%-40%). |
■ | Conversely, for OTC companies with higher trading volumes, the discount might be lower (e.g., 10%-20%). |
○ | Holding Period: |
■ | The longer the restriction period on the newly issued shares, the higher the discount. If the shares are subject to extended holding periods, investors will require greater compensation for their inability to sell the shares in the short term. |
■ | For example, shares that are restricted for six months under SEC Rule 144 could see a 20%-30% discount. If the holding period extends beyond that or other limitations apply, the discount might increase. |
○ | Company Fundamentals and Risk |
■ | Investors consider the financial health, stability, and growth prospects of the issuing company. A riskier OTC company with volatile financials or uncertain growth prospects might see a larger liquidity discount (e.g., closer to 40%). |
■ | Companies with strong fundamentals might experience a lower discount (e.g., 10%-20%), even in the OTC market. |
In accordance with the guidance of ASC 820 concerning for Lack of Registration Premium, shares that are restricted for six months under SEC Rule 144 generally see a 20%-30% discount on market price. The Company has opted for a 25% discount to the market price at the date of issuance based on the Company's elevated volatility, and to the illiquidity of the large amount of shares generally issued in these transactions.
In contrary, shares issued under the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the Compensatory Benefit Plan pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Act where ASC 718 (Compensation-Stock Compensation), are valued at market price at the grant date, based on the limited amount of shares awarded, and its predictable repetitiveness. Under ASC 718, the grant date is typically the measurement date for share-based compensation. This is the date when both parties (employer and employee) have a mutual understanding of the terms of the award, and it is used to determine the fair value of the stock-based award for accounting purposes. The fair value measured at the grant date is not adjusted for subsequent changes in stock price.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity.
10 |
The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2020, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements.
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As at September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $34,672and a negative working capital of ($1,207,907). The Company has not yet generated any revenues, and has incurred cumulative net losses of $18,298,861. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company raised a net of $63,000in cash proceeds from equity and $61,500in cash proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes. During the same period in 2023, the Company raised a net of $505,361in cash proceeds from equity. The Company is aware that its current cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements through the month of September 2024, and is pursuing alternative opportunities to funding.
The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 5 - AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
The Company holds License Agreements (the "License(s)") for a medical device (license obtained in 2019) and a compound (license obtained in 2021), with two affiliated companies of which the beneficial ownership includes the Company's officers. The products were developed prior to the establishment of Bioxytran. The yearly maintenance fees for each license amount to $5,000per year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and in 2023, there were $10,000in transactions with affiliates for license maintenance.
The Company had at September 30, 2024, loan agreements calling for an 8% interest with two of its affiliates for a total value of $140,588with an accrued interest of $2,934. As at December 31, 2023, there was a loan for $25,000while there was nointerest due.
NOTE 6 - INTANGIBLES
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Noimpairment charges were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023.
Amortization of capitalized patent costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at the award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating twenty years.

On December 31, 2023, there were 211,269shares awarded to three (3) Board Members and 3,599,289shares approved for conversion of debt. The total fair market value at the time of the award was $515,904. |
NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On or about May 3, 2021, we entered into four (4) Securities Purchase Agreements (the "2021 SPA's"), under which we agreed to sell convertible promissory notes (the "2021 Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $2,165,000with 6% interest.
At any time after the issue date of the Notes, the Holders of the Notes, (the "2021 Holders"), have the option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the 2021 Notes into shares of our Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" will be the lesser of (i) $.13 per share or (ii) 85% of the closing price of Any Qualified Financing, which consists of any fundraising whereby the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than $500,000.As at September 30, 2024, there is only one note remaining.
If the 2021 Notes are converted prior to us paying off such note, it would lead to substantial dilution to our shareholders as a result of the conversion discounted applicable to the 2021 Notes. There can be no assurance that there will be any funds available to pay of the 2021 Notes. If we fail to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis, the 2021 Holders may convert the 2021 Notes and sell the underlying shares, which may result in significant dilution to shareholders due to the conversion discount, as well as a significant decrease in our stock price.
On May 5, 2023, three (3) of the Notes were renegotiated; the interest was set to 10%, a prepayment of 120% was included, and the remaining note was extended until April 30, 2024. The conversion price was adjusted to the lower of (i) a fixed price of $0.13, or (ii) if the VWAP at the date of conversion is below $0.13, the conversion price will be reduced with 120% of the difference between fixed price and VWAP.On May 1, 2024, the 2021 Note was extended until December 1, 2024, in exchange for a $105,000debt discount, and the conversion price was adjusted to the lower of (i) a fixed price of $0.08, or (ii) if the VWAP at the date of conversion is below $0.08, the conversion price will be reduced with 120% of the difference between fixed price and VWAP.12 |
For the Notes issued the Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Common Stock underlying the Note(s), when issued, bear a restrictive legend and are currently eligible for resale under Rule 144.
At September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the outstanding convertible notes were as follows:

At the time of acquisition, NDPD held 14,085,410shares of Bioxytran Preferred Stock with a fair market value of $7,660,000and a book value of $4,007,572. These shares were subsequently canceled and returned to treasury. NDPD also held the patents for ProLectin-M ("PLM"), a compound based on Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum ("PHGG").

The right of use, limited to the COVID-19 indication, for the patents were transferred to Bioxytran as per the License Agreement between Pharmalectin, Inc. and NDPD Pharma, Inc. dated May 2, 2021 ("the "License Agreement"), wherein NDPD was to receive a 33% royalty. The value of the License Agreement was appraised at $8,190,000. However, in-vitro studies and limited human trials have shown that PLM has a much broader application than initially anticipated, with promising results across multiple indications, including RSV, H1N1, EBV, shingles, and conjunctivitis, among others, suggesting the value of the patents could be significantly higher.

The Company applies ASC 805, "Business Combinations". ASC 805 requires recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interest in the acquired entity at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. This ASC also requires the fair value of acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") to be recorded as intangibles with indefinite lives, contingent consideration to be recorded on the acquisition date, and restructuring and acquisition-related deal costs to be expensed as incurred. Any excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over purchase price and any subsequent changes in estimated contingencies are to be recorded in earnings. In addition, changes in valuation allowance related to acquired deferred tax assets and in acquired income tax position are to be recognized in earnings.
Intangible assets relate to the two patents WO2022099052A1 and WO2023178228A1 and to the License Agreement. The acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life, currently eighteen years, on a straight-line basis. The fair value of the intangible assets was determined by using the "income approach," which is a valuation technique that provides the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including revenues and EBITDA), the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, the potential regulatory and commercial success risk, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors.
Goodwill, which is derived from the enhanced scientific expertise, and our ability to provide broader service solutions through a comprehensive portfolio, is recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with ASC 805-740, the Company established a deferred tax liability with an offset to goodwill in connection with the accounting for the opening balance sheet of the NDPD acquisition as a result of book-to-tax differences primarily related to the intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized but ASC 350 require instead that companies test goodwill for impairment at least annually. Goodwill impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of goodwill (the amount at which it is recorded on the balance sheet) to its fair value. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the two years ended December 31, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2024. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "estimate," or "continue," and similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund operations into the future. To stay in business and to continue the development of our products, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities, debt financing or short-term bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We believe that if we can raise $3,700,000, we will have sufficient working capital to develop our business over the next approximately 15 months. At funding raised that is significantly less than $3,700,000, we can likely continue to develop our business over the same 15-month period, but funding at that level will delay the development of our technology and business.
Bioxytran, Inc. is headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts. The Company's initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for stroke. The Acellular Oxygen Carrier ("AOC" or "BXT-25") will be designed to be an injectable anti-necrosis drug specifically designed to treat a person immediately after they have suffered an ischemic stroke. The drug is designed to be injected intravenously to travel to the lungs to pick up oxygen molecules to carry to the brain. Like a red blood cell, we expect that the drug will cross the blood brain barrier, which is a protective semi-permeable membrane allowing some material to cross but preventing others from crossing. BXT-25 will be designed to diffuse oxygen into the brain tissues. We expect the BXT-25 molecule to be 5,000 times smaller than a red blood cell.
On December 2, 2022, India's Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) issued an Investigational New Drug (an "IND") with permission to conduct: "A Phase 1b/2a Randomized, Blinded, placebo-controlled Study in Participants with Mild to Moderate COVID-19 to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered ProLectin-M". The study will continue by filing an Emergency IND with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2024, provided we obtain adequate funding. An IND is currently under preparation to be filed with the FDA in the third quarter of 2024.
On January 27, 2023, an additional IND with the CDSCO was issued for ProLectin-I for an IV treatment of SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalized patients with moderate Covid-19 infections and for Long Covid, and for ProLectin-F for treatment of lung-fibrosis as a result of use of ventilator in treatment.
On April 19, 2023, the Company announced that its long-awaited Acellular Oxygen Carrier, has been successfully tested in animals. The initial results are very encouraging because they show the non-toxicity of the experimental drug, along with the corresponding full recovery in Swiss Albino mice, in an experiment carried out in a joint venture with NDPD Pharma, Inc. As a next step, the Company intends to proceed with a 28-day repeated dose toxicity study using New Zealand Rabbits and Wistar Rats as funding permits.
On August 19, 2024, a Company affiliate exercised an option dated November 11, 2021 and exchanged 14,410,000 shares (49%) in Pharmalectin for 8,973,405 shares of Preferred Stock in Bioxytran. This exchange resulted in the Company owning 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common stock of Pharmalectin.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. The Company currently has convertible loans outstanding at a total face value of $805,000. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,298,861 as at September 30, 2024. The accumulated deficit as at December 31, 2023, was $15,589,288.
The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing to develop its new business opportunities and support the cost of the drug development including clinical trials and regulatory submission to the FDA.
Management plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital or the establishment of strategic relationships with established pharmaceutical companies, the Company may be required to cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue operations.

We believe that we must raise an additional $3,700,000 to be able to continue our business operations for the next 15 months. |

As per the exchange terms in the Joint Venture Agreement dated November 15, 2020, an affiliate, of which the beneficial ownership includes the Company's officers, had the option to convert up to 15,000,000 shares in the Subsidiary into a 17.5%, or a pro-rated quantity thereof, ownership in the Company. On August 19, 2024, the affiliate exercised the option and exchanged 14,410,000 shares (49%) in the subsidiary against 8,973,405 shares of Preferred Stock in Bioxytran. |
Upcoming Financing Activities
The Company still struggles with a deflated stock price on OTC Markets which makes it very difficult to raise funds without heavily discounting the price and diluting the shareholders. The Company is actively working on finding financing alternatives in order to continue its regulatory approval activities.
There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
COMMITMENTS
We have no current commitment from our officers and Directors or any of our shareholders, to supplement our operations or provide us with financing in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources and/or additional sales of stock in the future, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results. In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact to our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. However, the majority of our businesses operate in environments where we pay a fee for a service performed, and therefore the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has share-based compensation plans under which non-employees, consultants and suppliers may be granted restricted stock, as well as options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award over the requisite service period.
The Company applies ASC 718 for options, common stock and other equity-based grants to its employees and directors. ASC 718 requires measurement of all employee equity-based payment awards using a fair-value method and recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The fair value concepts have not changed significantly in ASC 718; however, in adopting this standard, companies must choose among alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company will continue using both the Black-Scholes valuation model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the grant.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of AASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Item 3 is not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company, as defined by § 229.10(f)(1).
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as at the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that as at September 30, 2024, (i) the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and (ii) the Company's controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as at the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due primarily to a material weakness in the segregation of duties in the Company's internal controls.
Management's Report on Internal Control 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 of 1934, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As disclosed in our previous filings, there are material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting due to the fact that the Company does not have an adequate process established to ensure appropriate levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters, which resulted in our closing process not identifying all required adjustments and disclosures in a timely fashion. The Company's CEO/CFO has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. The small size of the Company's accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
Although the Company has hired a consultant to assist with SEC reporting and accounting matters, we expect that the Company will need to hire accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge to improve the levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters. The Company may experience delays in doing so and any such additional employees would require time and training to learn the Company's business and operating processes and procedures. For the near-term future, until such personnel are in place, this will continue to constitute a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that could result in material misstatements in the Company's financial statements not being prevented or detected.
Because of the above material weakness, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO revised in May 2013.
No Attestation Report by Independent Registered Accountant
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, has not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm by virtue of our exemption from such requirement as a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company's management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
