NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on May 12, 2017. On August 23, 2017, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Bionexus Gene Lab Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian corporation ("BioNexus Malaysia"). BioNexus Malaysia was incorporated in Malaysia on April 7, 2015 and subsequently changed its name to MRNA Scientific Sdn. Bhd. ("MRNA Scientific") on September 19, 2023.

The principal office address is Unit A-28-7, Tower A, Menara UOA Bangsar, No.5 Jln Bangsar Utama 1, 59000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, our lab is located at Lab 353, Chemical Science Centre, University Science Malaysia, George Town, Penang, Malaysia. We also have a blood collection center located at 1st floor, Lifecare Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

On December 31, 2020, the Company consummated its acquisition of Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd. ("Chemrex"), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement by and among the Company, Chemrex and the Chemrex shareholders wherein the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Chemrex from the Chemrex shareholders in exchange for 68,487,261 shares of common stock of the Company.

The acquisition of Chemrex has been accounted for as a common control transaction as there is no change in the control over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The net assets are derecognized by the transferring entity (i.e. Chemrex) and recognized by the receiving entity (i.e. the Company). The difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying amounts of the net assets is recognized in equity.

The financial statements of the receiving entity report the results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests had occurred at the beginning of the period. Results of operations for that period will thus comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period to the date the transfer is completed and those of the combined operations from that date to the end of the period. The comparative financial statements were not adjusted retrospectively as Chemrex was not under common control during the comparative period.

The corporate structure as at September 30, 2024 is depicted below:

	BioNexus Gene Lab Corp.
		a Wyoming company
100% owned			100% owned
MRNA Scientific Sdn. Bhd. (formerly "Bionexus Gene Lab Sdn. Bhd."), a Malaysian company		Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian Company

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

·	Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

·	Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bionexus Gene Lab Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

·	Use of estimates

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

·	Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

·	Trade receivables

Trade receivables primarily consist of invoiced amounts from Chemrex's revenue. Chemrex applies interest charges to outstanding balances for certain receivables that exceed certain periods

·	Expected credit losses

The Company estimates and records a provision for its expected credit losses related to its financial instruments, including its trade receivables. Management considers historical collection rates, the current financial status of the Company's customers, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating current expected credit losses. Forward-looking information is also considered in the evaluation of current expected credit losses.

To determine the provision for credit losses for accounts receivable, the Company has disaggregated its accounts receivable by business component, as management determined that risk profile of the Company's customers is consistent based on the type and industry in which they operate. Each business component is analyzed for estimated credit losses individually. In doing so, the Company establishes a historical loss matrix, based on the previous collections of accounts receivable by the age of such receivables. Further, the Company considers macroeconomic factors and the status of the industry the business component is in to estimate if there are current expected credit losses within its trade receivables based on the trends of the Company's expectation of the future status of such economic and industry-specific factors. Also, specific allowance amounts are established based on review of outstanding invoices to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.

·	Inventories

Inventories consisting of products available for sale are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory reserve is recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated net realizable value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks, and rewards of the products purchased. Write downs are recorded in cost of revenues in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

·

Leases

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest ("discount rate") in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is based on reference of a borrowing rate from the country where the operating subsidiary is located. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

·	Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost over the following expected useful lives of the assets concerned.

The principal annual rates used are as follows:
		Principal
Categories		Annual Rates
Air conditioner			20	%
Buildings			2	%
Computer and software			33	%
Equipment			20	%
Furniture and fittings		10% to 20	%
Lab Equipment			10	%
Motor vehicle		10% to 20	%
Office equipment			20	%
Renovation		10% to 20	%
Signboard			10	%
Solar PV System			20	%
Machinery			20	%

Leasehold lands are depreciated over the period of the lease term. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized. When properties are disposed, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the period the transaction takes place.

Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use.

·	Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets primarily include goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant, sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the lowest level group. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.

·	Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfils its obligations under each of its agreements:

·	identify the contract with a customer;
·	identify the performance obligations in the contract;
·	determine the transaction price;
·	allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
·	recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company records revenue at point in time which is recognized upon goods delivered or services rendered.

·	Shipping and handling fees

Shipping and handling fees, if billed to customers, are included in revenue. Shipping and handling fees associated with inbound and outbound freight are expensed as incurred and included in selling and distribution expenses.

·	Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income" establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders' equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments held at the balance sheet date. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

·	Income taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC Topic 740"). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose uncertain tax positions taken in their financial statements or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and is subject to tax in their own jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

·	Net earnings or loss per share

The Company calculates net earnings or loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 "Earnings per share." Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed similar to basic earnings or 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 stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

·	Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the subsidiaries maintain their books and records in a local currency, Malaysian Ringgit ("MYR" or "RM"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the subsidiaries operate.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, "Translation of Financial Statement," using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Translation of amounts from MYR into US$1.00 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period and year:

		September 30,			December 31,
		2024			2023
Period ended September 30, 2024 /Year-ended December 31, 2023 US$1: MYR exchange rate			4.1220				4.5900

		January 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024			January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023
9 months average US$1: MYR exchange rate			4.6327				4.5192

·	Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

☐	Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, deposits and other receivables, amount due to related parties and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a six-tier fair value hierarchy that 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

As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis, nor did the Company have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

☐	Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates ("ASUs"). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU may have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company does not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NOTE 13 - SIGNIFICANT EVENT

NOTE 14 - AUDIT COMMITTEE OBSERVATIONS & PENDING INVESTIGATIONS

In connection with the Company's preparation and review of its financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2024, the Audit Committee reviewed a number of transactions occurring at our wholly owned subsidiary, Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd. ("Chemrex"), which were concerning to the Audit Committee and as a result, it has initiated investigations into the following matters;

A. Property Sale No. 4 Jalan CJ1/6 to CCRE Composite Sdn. Bhd.

On September 30, 2024, Chemrex entered into an Offer to Purchase Agreement with CCRE Composite Sdn. Bhd. to sell certain property located at No. 4, Jalan CJ 1/6B, Taman Cheras Jaya, Batu 11, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor. The property is the main operating premises of Chemrex. The purchase price agreed upon in this transaction was MYR 4,400,000 (approximately USD $1,067,433), with specific terms outlined for deposits and completion requirements. An initial payment of MYR 44,000 (approximately USD $10,674) was made to Chremrex by the buyer subsequent to the end of the reporting period.

As mentioned, the Audit Committee has initiated an internal review of this transaction due to potential concerns that it may have been entered into without the appropriate authorization as mandated by corporate policies and Malaysian law. In addition, the terms of the transaction appear to be inconsistent with arm's length transactions. The review is currently underway to assess compliance with internal controls over financial reporting and whether appropriate authority was granted to those involved in the transaction as well as whether the transaction was in compliance with Malaysian law. For the financial statements as of September 30, 2024, there is no immediate impact since the Offer to Purchase Agreement was signed on the last day of the current period, and the initial payment was received after the period-end. However, future impacts will depend on the completion status or potential rescission of the transaction.

B. Transactions with Honkuk Material Sdn. Bhd.

Chemrex engaged in transactions with Honkuk Material Sdn. Bhd., a related party by virtue of being owned by a number of Directors of Chemrex. The transactions relate to the purchase of materials totalling MYR789,696 (approximately USD $170,460) in conjunction with a manufacturing business recently engaged in by Chemrex. These transactions appear to lack independent review and board authorization and are currently undergoing further review.

C. Unauthorized Directors Remuneration Increases

Director remuneration for Chemrex directors was substantially increased by approximately MYR4,248,000 (approximately USD $916,954) during the third fiscal quarter of 2024. The payment increase appears to; lack documented board approval, have been inappropriately authorized and excessively exceed normal director compensation in violation of fiduciary responsibilities. The Audit Committee is reviewing the process undertaken and the transactions are undergoing investigation.

D. Transactions with Mr. Wong Kim Hai

Mr. Wong Kim Hai, a director of Chemrex, received payments during the current quarter from Chemrex totaling MYR200,000 (approximately USD $43,171). These payments appeared to lack documented board approval and be inappropriately authorised.

E. Transactions with Quote Me Sdn. Bhd.

Chemrex engaged in a transaction involving the purchase of technical know-how and machinery from a Malaysian company named Quote Me Sdn. Bhd.

The purchase agreement made on August 1, 2024 was for MYR 855,000 (approximately USD $190,341) in exchange for the transfer of machinery and know-how which appear to be related to Chemrex's operations. These assets are currently reflected on our balance sheet as of the end of the current quarter.

However, the Audit Committee subsequently determined that Quote Me Sdn. Bhd. was a dissolved entity which raises concerns over the legitimacy of the transaction.

If the transaction is rescinded, it would impact the Company's balance sheet as of the December 31, 2024 fiscal year end, potentially requiring adjustments to reduce both asset and liability accounts related to this transaction. Additionally, any previously recognized expenses, capitalized assets, or amortization related to the acquired know-how and machinery would need to be reconsidered, which could affect the profit or loss statements for the affected periods.

All of the above transactions are currently under review and investigation by the Audit Committee. In some instances, the Audit Committee has retained special counsel to assist in the investigation. The Company will provide updates of material irregularities regarding the above transactions.

NOTE 15 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As mentioned in Note 14, we have a number of ongoing investigations, however, as of the date of this filing the following represent the related party transactions known to us which occurred during the current quarter;

A. Transactions with Honkuk Material Sdn. Bhd.

As mentioned in Note 14(B) above, during the third quarter of 2024, Chemrex purchased materials totaling MYR 789,696 (approximately USD $170,460) from Honkuk Material Sdn. Bhd., a company owned by certain directors of Chemrex. These materials were acquired to support Chemrex's recent entry into manufacturing operations.

Governance Review:

As these transactions involved related parties, they are undergoing further review by the Audit Committee to confirm that all necessary internal controls and governance procedures were followed. While formal board approval and independent review were not initially documented, management is working closely with the Audit Committee to assess compliance with applicable policies and ensure transparency.

Financial Reporting Impact:

This disclosure is made in line with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, to provide stakeholders with information on transactions involving related parties. If adjustments to these transactions are deemed necessary based on the review, they will be reflected in future financial statements.

B. Payments to Mr. Wong Kim Hai

As mentioned in Note 14(D) above, during the third quarter of 2024, Chemrex made payments totaling MYR 200,000 (approximately USD $43,171) to Mr. Wong Kim Hai, a director of Chemrex, as part of his compensation for services. These payments did not initially include documented board approval.

Review of Authorization:

The Audit Committee is conducting a review to confirm that all governance and authorization procedures were properly observed. Management and the Audit Committee are committed to ensuring that all transactions with related parties are documented in compliance with internal policies and applicable governance standards.

Disclosure and Financial Impact:

Consistent with ASC 850 requirements, these transactions are disclosed to provide transparency regarding related-party arrangements. Any adjustments that may result from the ongoing review will be reported in subsequent periods as necessary.

Bhd. ("MRNA Scientific Malaysia"), and Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd. ("Chemrex"), both are Malaysian companies.

BGLC is an emerging technology company focused on the application of functional genomics to enable early detection of infectious diseases and cancers. On August 23, 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of MRNA Scientific Malaysia, which was incorporated in Malaysia on April 7, 2015. MRNA Scientific Malaysia owns algorithm software, technology, and know-how related to the detection of common diseases through blood analysis which we use in our business. Our non-invasive blood screening tests analyze changes in ribonucleic acid (or RNA) to Coronavirus, Dengue, HIV, HPV and the risk potentiality of cancers diseases. This unique blood genomic biomarker approach is based on the scientific observation that circulating blood reflects, in a detectable way, what is occurring throughout the body currently.

The corporate and principal office address of the Company and MRNA Scientific Malaysia is Unit A-28-7, Tower A, Menara UOA Bangsar, No.5 Jln Bangsar Utama 1 , Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia., our lab is located at Lab 353, Chemical Science Centre, University Science Malaysia, George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

	·	Increases in advertising and marketing in order to attempt to generate more revenues, and

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act ("Exchange Act") as of September 30, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, the Company's management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Recent internal reviews of various transactions occurring subsequent to the end of the current reporting period (September 30, 2024) identified areas for improvement within Chemrex, particularly in relation to documentation, transaction approval processes, and related-party transaction oversight. This review was further necessary after the resignation of Mr. Wei Foong Lim on October 9, 2024. Mr. Lim served as a director of both BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. and Chemrex. This resignation has prompted a reassessment of governance controls at Chemrex. Management and the audit committee are implementing strengthened review and authorization procedures to address any potential control gaps, thereby reinforcing compliance with internal governance standards and regulatory expectations. These actions are expected to enhance the Company's internal controls going forward.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

	i)	Pertain to the maintenance of records that is in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;
	ii)	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of management and the board of directors; and
	iii)	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company's management had assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and this assessment identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting had shown improvement. A material weakness could create reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in annual or interim financial statements. The management considers its internal control over financial reporting required further improvement.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period ended September 30, 2024, there had been no change in internal control over financial reporting that had materially affected or was reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
