In February 1996, the Company changed its name to Brock International Inc., and in March 1998, the Company again changed its' name to Firstwave Technologies, Inc.

On October 28, 2013, the Company held a shareholder meeting to reincorporate the company in the State of Nevada and concurrently change its name to Textmunication Holdings, Inc.

On October 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Resonate Purchase Agreement") with Resonate Blends, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Resonate"), and the members of Resonate.

The shares in (ii) and (iii) shall have anti-dilution protections, except that this provision only applies for 2.5% of the outstanding shares acquired under each subsection.Also, on October 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Entourage Labs Purchase Agreement") with Entourage Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Entourage Labs"), and the members of Entourage Labs.

In exchange, Mr. Johnson agreed to cancel 20,000shares of common stock in the Company and to assume and cancel all liabilities relating to the Company's former business.
On December 16, 2019 the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada in order to effectuate a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary; Resonate Blends, Inc. Shareholder approval was not required under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. As part of the merger, the Company's board of directors authorized a change in our name to "Resonate Blends, Inc." and the Company's Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this name change.
F-5 |
In connection with the name change, the Company's symbol was changed to "KOAN" that more resembles the Company's new business focus.
Effective March 14, 2024, Geoffrey Selzer, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Jim Morrison, the Company's current President and Director, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Selzer sold all 2,000,000outstanding shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock to Mr. Morrison for $10.00in cash. Mr. Morrison now possesses voting control of the Company.
On February 26, 2024, the Company entered into entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, as amended (the "Exchange Agreement"), with Emergent Health Corp., a Wyoming corporation (EMGE), and the holders (the "EMGE Preferred Shareholders") of Series Class A Preferred Stock and the Series C Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the "EMGE Equity Interests"). On March 14, 2024, the parties closed the Exchange Agreement. At the closing of the Exchange Agreement: (a) the EMGE Preferred Shareholders exchanged all of their respective EMGE Equity Interests for an equal number of shares of the Company's to-be-designated Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Exchange Shares") that shall convert into 93% of the common stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (the "Series F Preferred Stock"), which shares of Series F Preferred Stock are currently issuable to the EMGE Preferred Shareholders and are to be issued upon the Company's filing of a Certificate of Designation with the State of Nevada; (b) the Company consummated the Conveyance Agreement; and (c) all persons serving as directors and officers of the Company prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement resigned and appointed four new members of the Company's Board of Directors.
On March 14, 2024, in conjunction with the acquisition of EMGE, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Subsidiary with two of the Company's then-wholly-owned subsidiaries, Resonate Blends, LLC, a California limited liability company, and Entourage Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company, and our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, Geoffrey Selzer.

In consideration of our assignment of the Subsidiary, Mr. Selzer (a) assumed and agreed to pay, perform and discharge, fully and completely, all liabilities of the Subsidiary, (b) indemnified us for any loss arising from or in connection with any of such liabilities and (c) agreed to pay the Company (i) 20% of any proceeds from the sale of the Subsidiary that occurs prior to the one-year anniversary of the Conveyance Agreement and (ii) 10% of any proceeds from the sale of the Subsidiary that occurs after the one-year anniversary and prior to the two-year anniversary of the Conveyance Agreement.
Effective August 8, 2024, the Company entered into a Reformation of Share Exchange Agreement (the "Reformation Agreement") with EMGE and the EMGE Preferred Shareholders. The Reformation Agreement was entered into after the Company, EMGE and the EMGE Preferred Shareholders having independently determined that the structure of the Exchange Agreement resulted in the parties' experiencing consequences that were unintended and that would not, in the long term, be beneficial to the parties and that a reformation of the Exchange Agreement from a share-for-share structure to a share-for-asset structure would be beneficial to each of the parties.
By the Reformation Agreement, share-for-share structure of the Exchange Agreement was reformed to become a share-for-asset structure (the "Reformation"). Effecting the Reformation produced the following actions (the "Reformation Actions"):
(a)First, the issuances of the Company Exchange Shares to the EMGE Preferred Shareholders were rescinded.
(b) Next, the assignments of the EMGE Equity Interests by the EMGE Preferred Shareholders to the Company were rescinded.
(c)The Company, then, re-issued the Exchange Shares to EMGE, in consideration of the following assets of EMGE (the "Acquired Assets"):
● | All of the capital stock of Evolutionary Biologics, Inc.; | |
● | All of the capital stock of Apollo Biowellness, Inc.; | |
● | All of the capital stock of Nanosthetic, Inc.; and | |
● | All of the capital stock of Nanogistics, Inc. |
In addition, the Reformation Actions resulted in the Company's no longer being the controlling shareholder of EMGE.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's most recent Annual Financial Statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $27,986,675. The company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While the Company is expanding its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there's noallowance for doubtful accounts and bad debts.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that the Company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
● | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer | |
● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract | |
● | Determination of the transaction price | |
● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
● | Recognition of the revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied |
Revenue is generally recognized upon purchase of products by customers.
EMGE sells ingestible and topical products to retail customers across the United States of America. The Company's standard delivery method is "free on board" shipping point. Consequently, the Company considers control of products to transfer at a single point in time when control is transferred to the customer, which is generally when products are shipped in accordance with an agreement or purchase order. Control is defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the product. The Company considers the customer's purchase order, and the Company's corresponding sales order acknowledgement as the contract with the customer. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products to be the identified performance obligations. The Company satisfies its performance obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods and services in exchange for monetary consideration from the customer. Sales taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
F-7 |
Revenue is deferred when the Company receives payment under a contract with a customer prior to satisfying its performance obligation. As the majority of orders are processed and shipped immediately upon receipt of payment, it is rare that revenue is deferred. There was no deferred revenue as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Significant payment terms - The Company's contracts with its customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. Payments are typically due prior to delivery. Since the customer agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract that do not vary over the contract, the Company's contracts do not contain variable consideration. Economic factors - The Company's revenues and accounts receivable are derived primarily from the United States with no particular concentration in any industry. Sales revenue is impacted by overall economic conditions, as there are fewer sales when the Company's customers are impacted by negative economic conditions. Returns, refunds, and warranties - The Company has a 30-day return policy on all products. As the amount of returned product is minimal, management believes that returns on any goods sold subsequent to June 30, 2024, and 2023, were not material.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that is observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023.

Derivative Liabilities | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 166,861 | $ | 166,861 |
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis.. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and, if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost, inventory is reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. Generally, the Company only keeps inventory on hand for sales made and in which a deposit has been received.
F-8 |
Net income (loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from threeto seven years. Expenditures for renewals or betterments are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred the cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss thereon is reflected in operations. Company policies capitalize property and equipment for cost over $1,000, asset acquired under $1,000are charge to operations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Because the Company has no net income, the tax benefit of the accumulated net loss has been fully offset by an equal valuation allowance.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services," for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management has periodically advanced funds to the Company for operating expenses. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, amounts due related parties were $133,910and $70,099, respectively. These advances are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.

The Reformation Agreement was entered into after the Company, EMGE and the EMGE Preferred Shareholders having independently determined that the structure of the Exchange Agreement resulted in the parties' experiencing consequences that were unintended and that would not, in the long term, be beneficial to the parties and that a reformation of the Exchange Agreement from a share-for-share structure to a share-for-asset structure would be beneficial to each of the parties.
By the Reformation Agreement, share-for-share structure of the Exchange Agreement was reformed to become a share-for-asset structure (the "Reformation"). Effecting the Reformation produced the following actions (the "Reformation Actions"):
(a) First, the issuances of the Company Exchange Shares to the EMGE Preferred Shareholders were rescinded.
(b) Next, the assignments of the EMGE Equity Interests by the EMGE Preferred Shareholders to the Company were rescinded.
(c) The Company, then, re-issued the Exchange Shares to EMGE, in consideration of the following assets of EMGE (the "Acquired Assets"):
● | All of the capital stock of Evolutionary Biologics, Inc.; | |
● | All of the capital stock of Apollo Biowellness, Inc.; | |
● | All of the capital stock of Nanosthetic, Inc.; and | |
● | All of the capital stock of Nanogistics, Inc. |

In addition, the Reformation Actions resulted in the Company's no longer being the controlling shareholder of EMGE.
Conveyance Agreement.
On March 14, 2024, in conjunction with our acquisition of EMGE, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Subsidiary (the Conveyance Agreement) with two of our then-wholly-owned subsidiaries, Resonate Blends, LLC, a California limited liability company, and Entourage Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company (collectively, Resonate Blends, LLC and Entourage Labs, LLC are referred to as the "Subsidiary"), and our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, Geoffrey Selzer. Pursuant to the Conveyance Agreement, we assigned our ownership in the Subsidiary to Mr. Selzer. In consideration of our assignment of the Subsidiary, Mr. Selzer (a) assumed and agreed to pay, perform and discharge, fully and completely, all liabilities of the Subsidiary, (b) indemnified us for any loss arising from or in connection with any of such liabilities and (c) agreed to pay us (i) 20% of any proceeds from the sale of the Subsidiary that occurs prior to the one-year anniversary of the Conveyance Agreement and (ii) 10% of any proceeds from the sale of the Subsidiary that occurs after the one-year anniversary and prior to the two-year anniversary of the Conveyance Agreement.
New Business Plan.
The business plan and operations of EMGE now represent the entirety of our company's business operations. The discussion below concerning the six months ended June 30, 2024, include the operating results of the acquired EMGE assets from March 14, 2024, through June 30, 2024. The discussion below concerning our company's results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, relate only to our company prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement, as amended and reformed. None of the information in the discussion below should be considered to be an indication of our company's operating results for the year ending December 31, 2024, and beyond.
Current Status
In connection with the EMGE transaction, we obtained a loan from a third party and, subsequent to the closing of the EMGE transaction, we have obtained an additional loan from another third party. We remain, nevertheless, dependent on additional investment capital to continue our survival. Historically, we have raised money through convertible debt, almost always on unfavorable terms. There is no guarantee that any capital, including through convertible loan transactions, will be available to us in the future or, if available, on terms acceptable to us. The terms of the recently obtained loans are discussed below.
AJB Capital Investments, LLC. In March 2024, the Company obtained a loan from AJB Capital Investments, LLC ("AJB") which netted the Company $252,000 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, the Company issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (the "AJB Note"), with OID of $28,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with principal and interest payable on September 4, 2024. The Company has the right to repay the AJB Note at any time. Should the Company be in default, which shall not have been cured, the AJB Note is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price that shall equal the volume weighted average trading price (a) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance of the AJB Note or (b) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever is lower.
The AJB Note is secured by all assets of our company.
In addition, we issued to AJB a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant (the "AJB Warrant") to purchase 3,428,571 shares of our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share. The AJB Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis,
Ray Vollintine. In March 2024, the Company obtained a loan from Ray Vollintine ("Vollintine") which netted the Company $250,000 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, the Company issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (the "Vollintine Note"), with OID of $30,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with principal and interest payable on September 29, 2024. The Company has the right to repay the Vollintine Note at any time. The Vollintine Note is convertible at any time and from time to time into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price that shall equal to $.035; provided, however, that, upon an event of default, the conversion price shall be the lower of (a) $.035 or (b) the volume weighted average trading price during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance of the Vollintine Note or during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever is lower.
The Vollintine Note is unsecured.
In addition, we issued to Vollintine a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant (the "Vollintine Warrant") to purchase 7,200,000 shares of our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share. The Vollintine Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis, As further consideration for Vollintine's purchasing the Vollintine Note, we entered into a make-whole agreement that assures that Vollintine shall derive not less than $250,000 in net proceeds from Vollintine's sales of the common stock underlying the Vollintine Warrant.

Revenues. We reported $721,278 (unaudited) and $16,468 (unaudited) in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 ("Interim 2024") and 2023 ("Interim 2023"), respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, we had total current assets of $993,130 (unaudited), consisting of $17,030 (unaudited) in cash and $970,000 (unaudited) in advances to former acquisition partner-company. Our total current liabilities as of June 30, 2024, were $4,050,658 (unaudited). Our working capital deficit was $3,057,528 (unaudited) as of June 30, 2024, compared to our working capital deficit of $2,150,975 (unaudited) as of December 31, 2023.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2024, we have an accumulated deficit of $27,986,675 (unaudited). Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While we are expanding our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most "critical accounting polices" in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a "critical accounting policy" is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results, and requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the fiscal year has had or is expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2024, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.
Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance 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. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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. Management identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending June 30, 2024. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
2. | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
3. | Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
To remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness once resources become available.
We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the period ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
