SUNHYDROGEN, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS
Organization
SunHydrogen, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 18, 2009. The Company, based in Coralville, IA began operations on February 19, 2009.
Line of Business
The company is currently developing a novel solar-powered nanoparticle system that mimics photosynthesis to separate hydrogen from water. We intend for technology of this system to be used for the production of renewable hydrogen to produce renewable electricity and hydrogen for fuel cells and other applications where hydrogen is used.
SunHydrogen is developing an efficient and cost-effective way to produce truly green hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water. Just like a solar panel is comprised of multiple cells that generate electricity, our hydrogen panel encases multiple hydrogen generators immersed in water. Each hydrogen generator contains billions of electroplated nanoparticles, autonomously splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. Our technology has the potential to be one of - if not the most - economical green hydrogen solutions: Unlike traditional water electrolysis for hydrogen, our process requires no external power other than sunlight and uses efficient and low-cost materials.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2025. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The following table provides detail of our cash and cash equivalents.
September 30, 2024 |
June 30, 2024 |
|||||||
Cash | $ | 30,725,307 | $ | 29,365,997 | ||||
U.S. Treasury bills | 9,780,727 | 9,678,798 | ||||||
Total cash and cash equivalents | $ | 40,506,034 | $ | 39,044,795 |
The U.S. Treasury bills have a credit quality indicator of AA/A.
5
Concentration risk
Cash includes amounts deposited in financial institutions in excess of insurable Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) limits. At times throughout the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of the FDIC limits. As of September 30, 2024, the cash balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $38,606,113. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these accounts.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, fair value of financial instruments, and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using straight line over its estimated useful lives.
Computers and peripheral equipment | 5 Years | ||
Vehicle | 5 Years |
The Company recognized depreciation expense of $7,684 and $9,306 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Intangible Assets
The Company has patent applications to protect the inventions and processes behind its proprietary bio-based back-sheet, a protective covering for the back of photovoltaic solar modules traditionally made from petroleum-based film. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, where applicable to all long-lived assets. ASC 360 addresses accounting and reporting for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC 360. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
When long-lived assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company determined no impairment was required.
Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations
Net earnings (Loss) per share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the effect of stock options and stock-based awards, if dilutive.
The total potential common shares as of September 30, 2024, include 259,965,911 stock options, 78,095,239 common stock purchase warrants, and 931,684,211 common shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding 8,851 Series C Preferred shares. Stock options, common stock purchase warrants, and common shares issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred shares were not included in the calculation of net earnings per share because their impact on income per share is antidilutive.
The total potential common shares as of September 30, 2023, include 218,394,499 stock options, 86,495,239 common stock purchase warrants, and 931,684,211 common shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding 8,851 Series C Preferred shares. Stock options, common stock purchase warrants, and common shares issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred shares were not included in the calculation of net earnings per share because their impact on income per share is antidilutive.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock option grants issued and vesting to employees and non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested, and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.
Warrant Accounting
The Company accounts for warrants to purchase shares of common stock using the estimated fair value on the date of issuance as calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
7
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of financial instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2024, the amounts reported for cash, accrued interest and other expenses, notes payables, convertible notes, and derivative liability approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).
These tiers include:
● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. |
● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (See Note 7):

Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing cost are expensed as incurred. Total advertising and marketing costs were $324 and $44,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
8
Accounting for Derivatives
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice formula pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management believes that no recently issued accounting standards, which are not yet effective, would have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2024, if adopted at this time.
Reclassification
Certain accounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
3. PREFERRED STOCK
Series C Preferred Stock
On December 15, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of designation of Series C Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada, designating 17,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 and is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.00095. The Series C Preferred Stockholders are entitled to receive out of any funds and assets of the Company legally available prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the common stock of the Company, cumulative dividends, at an annual rate of 10% of the stated value, payable in cash or shares of common stock. In the event the Company declares or pays a dividend on its shares of common stock (other than dividend payable in shares of common stock), the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will also be entitled to receive payment of such dividend on an as--converted basis. The Series C Preferred Stock confers no voting rights on holders, except with respect to matters that materially and adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock or as otherwise required by applicable law. Upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, the holder of each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders upon such liquidation, before any payments shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the common stock, the stated value of the Series C Preferred Shares plus any declared but unpaid dividends. No other current or future equity holders of the Company shall have higher priority of liquidation preference than holders of Series C Preferred Stock.
The Series C Preferred Stock is presented as mezzanine equity because it is redeemable at a fixed or determinable amount upon an event that is outside of the Company's control.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, an investor converted 2,100 preferred shares with a stated value of $210,000, at a conversion price of $0.00095. The preferred shares were converted into 221,052,632 common shares, no gain or loss was recognized in the financial statements.
As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company had 8,851 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding shares was $885,100, respectively.

5. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
2019 Equity Stock Incentive Plan
On December 17, 2018, the Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan ("the 2019 Plan"), with 300,000,000 shares reserved for issuance. The purpose of the 2019 Plan is to promote the success of the Company and to increase stockholder value by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain, and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. The awards are performance-based compensation that are granted under the 2019 Plan as incentive stock options (ISO) or nonqualified stock options. The per share exercise price for each option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the option. The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing cost.
As of September 30, 2024, under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, there were 285,270,561 stock options and shares issued, with a reserve of 14,729,439.
2022 Equity Stock Incentive Plan
On January 27, 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, to enable the Company to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants, and directors who will contribute to the Company's long-range success. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Plan is initially 400,000,000. The number of shares will automatically be increased on the first day of the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2023 so that the total number of shares issuable equals fifteen percent (15%) of the Company's fully diluted capitalization on the first day of the Company's fiscal year, unless the Board adopts a resolution providing that the number of shares issuable under the 2022 Plan shall not be so increased.
As of July 1, 2024, the maximum number of shares issuable under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan was increased to 953,548,700 shares, based on the Company's fully diluted capitalization of 6,356,991,335. As of September 30, 2024, there were 173,600,000 stock options and shares issued, with a reserve of 779,948,700.

7. EQUITY SECURITIES, RELATED PARTY AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES RECEIVABLE, RELATED PARTY
On November 11, 2022, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with TECO 2030 ASA ("TECO"). TECO is a Norwegian based clean tech company developing zero-emission technology for the maritime and heavy industry. They are developing PEM hydrogen fuel cell stacks and PEM hydrogen fuel cell modules, that enable ships and other heavy-duty applications to become emissions-free. TECO is listed on Euronext Growth on Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker TECO. Pursuant to the subscription agreement, the Company purchased 13,443,875 shares of TECO stock for an aggregate consideration of $7 million in USD, at an exchange rate of NOK 10.4094. The stocks purchased are adjusted to fair value based on unrealized gain or loss at the end of each period. At the time of this transaction, the Company and TECO became related parties due to the Company owning an 8.3% interest in TECO. Subsequent to the equity purchase, Timothy Young, CEO of the Company, was elected to the board of TECO in January of 2023.
11
Also, on November 11, 2022 the Company purchased a bond receivable of TECO for a subscription amount of $3 million. The issuance of the bond receivable is through a Tap Issue Addendum to TECO's secured convertible notes agreement dated June 1, 2022, pursuant to which Nordic Trustee AS is acting as the security agent on behalf of the note holders. The bond receivable would have matured on June 1, 2025, and would have been converted into shares at a rate of NOK 5.0868 per share. The note bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum, which was paid quarterly in arrears. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized interest income of $57,884.
In April of 2024, all investors of TECO bonds received an option to convert their bonds to receive one share for every two NOK. On May 24, 2024 the Company agreed to the terms and conversion, and agreed to receive 15,884,744 shares of TECO stock in exchange for the convertible bond receivable of $3,000,000 and unpaid interest. The bond receivable had a principal amount of NOK 31,228,200, and accrued and unpaid interest up to May 24, 2024 of NOK 541,289, for a total of NOK 31,769,489. The value of the shares converted on May 24, 2024 was $3,139,302 with contributed capital gain on conversion of convertible bond of $85,815 and interest received of $53,487.
On September 10, 2024, after a delay to allow time for legal review and clarification of the investment statements, the bond was returned. Upon receipt of the 15,884,744 shares, the Company owns a total of 29,328,619 shares, which as of September 30, 2024 represents 13.29% of the outstanding shares of TECO.
The CEO of the Company elected to not seek reelection to the board of directors at the annual general meeting in June and is no longer a director of TECO after June 19, 2024. The CEO of the Company never received compensation of any kind for his role as director from January of 2023 through June 19, 2024.

Overview
At SunHydrogen, our goal is to replace fossil fuels with clean, renewable hydrogen.
Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element in the universe. When hydrogen fuel is used to power transportation and industry, the only byproduct left behind is pure water, unlike hydrocarbon fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas that emit carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. However, naturally occurring elemental hydrogen is rare - so rare, in fact, that today about 95% of hydrogen is produced from steam reforming of natural gas (Source: US Department of Energy, Hydrogen Fuel Basics). This process is both economically and environmentally unsound.
The SunHydrogen solution offers an efficient and cost-effective way to produce truly green hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water. Our core technology is a self-contained, nanoparticle-based hydrogen generator that mimics photosynthesis to split water molecules, resulting in hydrogen. By optimizing the science of water electrolysis at the nano-level, we believe we have developed a low-cost method to potentially produce environmentally friendly renewable hydrogen.
We believe renewable hydrogen has already proven itself to be a key solution in helping the world meet climate targets, and we believe our technology potentially offers solutions to the challenges that the hydrogen future presents, including cost of production and transportation.
Because our process only requires sunlight and water, our technology can be installed near the point of hydrogen use. This eliminates the need for pipelines and trucks that result in high carbon emissions and high capital investment. Additionally, because our process directly uses the electrical charges created by sunlight to generate hydrogen, our nanoparticle technology does not rely on grid power or require the costly power electronics that conventional electrolyzers do. Lastly, our planned scalable system configuration of many individual hydrogen-generating panels ensures redundancy, security and stability.
With a target cost of $2.50/kg., we aspire for our technology to be cost-competitive with brown hydrogen and below the cost of clean hydrogen competitors. We believe our solution has the potential to clear a path for green hydrogen to compete with natural gas hydrogen and gain mass market acceptance as a true replacement for fossil fuels.
14
Our technology is primarily developed at three laboratories - our independent laboratory in Coralville, Iowa, the SunHydrogen laboratory at the University of Iowa, and the Singh laboratory at University of Michigan.
Additionally, in parallel to the ongoing development of our own technology, we are well-capitalized to begin pursuing synergistic strategic investments in the hydrogen space. SunHydrogen is committed to furthering renewable hydrogen technology to grow the hydrogen ecosystem, and we are actively pursuing opportunities for investment and acquisition of complimentary hydrogen technologies. We are fortunate to have the resources to maximize our impact in this fast-growing industry.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Binomial valuation option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, Binomial lattice valuation model inputs, derivative liabilities and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of financial instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2024, the amounts reported for cash, investment in affiliate, accrued interest and other expenses, notes payables, and derivative liability approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements. Pronouncements are disclosed in notes to the financial statements.

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2024 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $1,036,427, compared to $998,730 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The net change of $37,697 in operating expenses consisted primarily of an increase in research and development costs offset by decreases in general and administrative expenses and selling and marketing expenses.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other income and (expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $(1,010,411), compared to $550,618 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in other income of $1,561,029 was the result of an unrealized loss on the Company's investment in TECO (Equity securities, related party on the Condensed Balance Sheets) in the current period compared to an unrealized gain in the prior year offset with a realized loss on redemption of marketable securities in the prior year with no similar transactions in the current year.
Net Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, our net loss was $2,046,838, compared to a net loss of $448,112 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss of $1,598,726 was primarily due to an unrealized loss on the Company's investment in TECO (Equity securities, related party on the Condensed Balance Sheets) in the current period compared to an unrealized gain in in the prior year. These equity securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
As of September 30, 2024, we had working capital of $42,561,105, compared to $42,386,683 as of June 30, 2024. This increase in working capital of $174,422 was primarily due to a decrease in current liabilities.
Cash used in operating activities was $704,064 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $474,766 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The net increase of $229,298 in cash used in operating activities was due to increase in increase in the net loss offset an unrealized loss in equity securities, related party in the current period compared to an unrealized gain in equity securities, related party in the prior year. The Company has had no revenues.
Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was $0 and $2,014,728, respectively. The net decrease of $2,014,728 in cash used in investing activities was due to the purchase of certificate of deposits offset by the redemption of short-term investments in corporate securities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 with no similar transactions in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was $2,165,303 and $217,826, respectively. The net increase of $1,947,477 in cash provided by financing activities was due to increased proceeds from a Purchase Agreement entered with an investor for the sale of up to $45,000,000 of common stock .
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital through financing transactions and future revenue. Our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of private placements and registered offerings of our securities, as we have not generated any revenues to date.
We have historically obtained funding from investors, through private placements and registered offerings of equity and debt securities. Management believes that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds through the sale of its securities to its existing shareholders and prospective new investors, which will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company's obligations as they become due and will allow the Company to continue to develop its core business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue raising the required capital for our operations on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds, we may be forced to curtail and/or cease our operation.
16
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and our Acting CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our Acting CFO concluded that, due to the material weakness described below, our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed is made known to management and others, as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure and that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and Acting CFO, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and acting principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control 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. Due to 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, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our financial statements included in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes 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.
As of September 30, 2024, due to the inherent issue of segregation of duties in a small company, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls and engaged an outside financial consultant to lessen the issue of segregation of duties over accounting, financial close procedures and controls over financial statement disclosure. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
