Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2024 and 2023

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ORGANIZATION

Business Organization

Trans American Aquaculture, Inc. formerly Gold River Productions, Inc. (GRP), ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 18, 2006, as Polythene Metro Corp before being acquired by Gold River Productions, Inc. on January 25, 2007. The Company was re-incorporated in the State of Colorado in July 2018. In February 2023, pursuant to shareholder and Board approval, the Company changed its name to Trans American Aquaculture, Inc., reflective of its new management and operations, and applied to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") to change its ticker symbol from GRPS to TAAQ.

On August 28, 2022, Richard Goulding, executive and selling party of Gold River Productions, Inc. and Adam Thomas, purchaser, executed a Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA"). Under the terms of the SPA, Mr. Goulding, agreed to sell to Adam Thomas, CEO of TAA, 9,078,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, and to retain 640,000 shares for later conversion to the Company's common stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 100 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, Mr. Thomas agreed to purchase all the Company's outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock from Mr. Goulding for a cash payment of $5,000.

In further consideration for the sale of the shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, Mr. Goulding agreed to:

1.	Increase the authorized shares of the Company's common stock to three billion (3,000,000,000) shares;
2.	Convert his retained 640,000shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to 64,000,000shares of common stock;
3.	Issue to various former employees and consultants of the Company an aggregate amount of 15,248,503shares of the Company's common stock; and
	4.	Complete the assignment of assets and assumption of liabilities as they existed immediately prior to the closing of the stock purchase agreement on August 29, 2022.

Following the purchase of the shares of Class A and Class B Preferred Stock, Mr. Thomas and TAA agreed to:

1.	To have the Company issue shares of a Class C Preferred Stock to the former members of TAA, such shares to be convertible into 85% of the Company's common stock, but limited as to this conversion for a minimum of 12 months from the date of issuance; and
	2.	To cancel and withdraw the shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

As of June 30, 2024, the parties are contemplating an amendment to the SPA; however, no terms have been agreed.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

On August 29, 2022, Gold River Productions, Inc. and Goulding executed an Assignment of Rights and Assumption of Liabilities Agreement whereby Gold River Productions, Inc. assigned all of its assets and liabilities to Mr. Richard Goulding (Mr. Goulding), Chairman of the Board and CEO of GRP, resulting in GRP becoming a public shell company without any assets or liabilities and became the accounting acquiree.

On September 13, 2022, Gold River Productions, Inc. and Trans American Aquaculture, LLC ("TAA") executed a Definitive Equity Exchange Agreement in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby TAA became the accounting acquiror. TAA operates a large land-based shrimp farming and technology company located in South Texas. The Company produces premium quality, farm-raised white shrimp, 100% free of antibiotics and hormones, and cultivated using safe and sustainable practices. Its principal markets consist of seafood distributors, restaurants, and grocery store chains in the United States. Using decades of experience in the shrimp aquaculture industry, products are grown with our superior technology and our proprietary genetics which results in a superior fresh product always grown in the United States.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trans American Aquaculture, Inc and its wholly owned subsidiary Trans American Aquaculture, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at lower of cost or the net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Depending on the development and growth stage of shrimp, the Company's inventory is comprised of 1) broodstock held for restocking the next harvest cycle, 2) broodstock held for sale, and shrimp held for sale. The Company evaluates realization of shrimp based on market prices at the end of each period.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed while expenditures for renewals which prolong the lives of the assets are capitalized. When items are disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any net gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of income.

For financial reporting purposes, depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by using the straight-line method based on the estimated service lives of the property as follows:

Land improvements	40years
Buildings and structures	40years
Farm equipment	10- 20years
Autos and trucks	10years

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an asset has been impaired, the amount of the impairment is charged to operations. No impairments were recognized for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Income Taxes

The Company uses an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities is determined annually.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for those differences that have future tax consequences using the currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate tax jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2024, the Company needs to file federal and state income tax returns for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. During 2020, the Company had taxable income primarily as a result of a short-term capital gain of $445,500on the sale of a joint venture interest. This resulted in taxable income of $155,200and an unremitted federal income tax liability of $33,180. With accrued penalties and interest, the total due the IRS is approximately $58,300. All liabilities, including federal taxes, were indemnified by Goulding as part of the transaction and accordingly a receivable due from the previous owner of the Company has been recorded and netted against the tax obligation. The Company intends to file its 2020 federal tax return and pay the tax due, plus penalties in interest once it has sufficient cash to do so.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues according to the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC 606") and Accounting Standard Update ASU 2014-09 "Revenues from Contracts with Customers." Under the ASC 606, revenues is recognized when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services in amounts that reflect the consideration which the entity expected to receive in exchange of goods and service. The Company does not collect sales, value-add and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties. To determine revenue recognition, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenues when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue as a single performance obligation when it transfers its products to customers, being when the goods are shipped and transfers to a buyer and when performance obligation under contracted sales are completed.

Advertising and Promotion

All costs associated with advertising and promoting the Company's goods and services are expensed in the year incurred.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable.

The Company maintains its cash balances at a large financial institution. At times such balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in an account. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and had no balances in excess of the $250,000FDIC limit for the period ended September 30, 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, two and one customer accounted for 100% of total revenues earned.

The Company's sole source of expected future revenue consists of the sale of a single live product which requires substantial care. Production risks such as weather, disease and other factors could affect the Company's ability to realize revenue from its inventory stock.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Subsequent Events

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through November 19, 2024, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued. The dilutive effect of the Company is reflected in diluted net loss per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share when net loss is recorded for the period as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

On December 11, 2023, the Company entered into an accounts receivable factoring agreement in the amount of $750,000. The agreement calls for 80% with recourse financing on eligible receivables. The amount received for the factored receivables on February 7, 2024, totaled $135,847, of which $12,357remains outstanding after factoring fees at September 30, 2024 and $0at December 31, 2023.

NOTE 4 - INVENTORY

The inventory at September 30, 2024, consists of shrimp held for sale and broodstock held for restocking. Included in this amount is the broodstock cost basis reclassified to shrimp held for sale as those costs are applicable expenditures and charges directly and indirectly incurred in bringing shrimp inventory to its existing condition and location as noted in FASB ASC 330-10-30. Although, these animals will eventually come to end of life, their costs are considered part of the necessary costs to birthing and raising shrimp held for sale.

Just prior to harvest, the Company segregates and retains selected premium shrimp to become broodstock for the following shrimp harvest cycle. Upon identification and segregation, the selected animals are transferred from outdoor ponds to specialized indoor tanks. These tanks are highly regulated with respect to temperature, lighting and salinity levels. Costs allocated to broodstock animals at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled $210,000and $60,388, respectively.

The Company recorded inventory write-down of $196,552related to the death of broodstock in its aquaculture operations. The number of broodstock animals held decreased from 15,400to 3,000during the three-months ended September 30, 2024. The write-down is included in the cost of revenues in the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be covered or settled. The 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. An allowance has been recorded as of September 30, 2024 due to uncertainty of the realization of deferred tax asset in future periods.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, included in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized.

Equity Financing Agreement

On January 20, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Financing Agreement ("the EFA") and Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with GHS Investments, LLC, pursuant to which GHS agreed to purchase up to $10,000,000 in shares of the Company common stock, from time to time over the course of 24 months after effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 of the underlying shares of the Company's common stock.

The EFA grants the Company the right, to direct GHS to purchase shares of the Company's common stock on any business day (a "Put"), provided that at least ten trading days (as defined in the EFA) have passed since the closing of the most recent Put. The purchase price of the shares of common stock contained in a Put shall be 80% of the lowest traded price of the Company common stock during the ten consecutive

Trading Days preceding the date of the Put notice. In the event The Company up lists to Nasdaq or an equivalent national exchange, the purchase price will be 90%. No Put will be made in an amount less than $10,000 or greater than $500,000 and any single drawdown may not exceed 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company's common stock during the ten trading days preceding the Put. In no event is the Company entitled to make a Put or is GHS entitled to purchase and own cumulative shares greater than 4.99% of the Company's shares of common stock outstanding on such date.

The EFA will terminate upon any of the following events: when GHS has purchased an aggregate of $10,000,000 in the common stock of the Company pursuant to the EFA; or on the date that is 24 months from the date of the EFA.

Actual sales of shares of common stock to GHS under the EFA will depend on a variety of factors, including, the number of public shares the Company has available for trading on the open market (excluding closely held and restricted stock), market conditions, the trading price of the common stock, the number of shares outstanding, and the Company's determinations as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. The net proceeds under the EFA to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of stock to GHS.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall (i) use its best efforts to file with the SEC the Registration Statement within 60 calendar days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement; and (ii) have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within 60 calendar days after the date the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, but in no event more than calendar 120 days after the Registration Statement is filed.

The Company will use the proceeds from the Puts for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions or assets, businesses, or operations or for purposes the Board of Directors deems to be in the best interests of the Company.

NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN

The Company follows FASB ASU 2014-10 - Development Stage Entities because its principal operations have commenced, but there has been no significant revenue therefrom. To date, the Company's activities since inception have consisted principally of acquiring property, equipment, and other operating assets, raising capital, starting up production, recruiting and training personnel and raising capital.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan as well as continuing to develop its brood stock in order to fulfill recently signed contracts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the business plan cannot be implemented or if additional capital cannot be raised, either of which could result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

The Company is in the process of raising additional capital to support the completion of the developmental stage activities and ramp up ongoing full shrimp harvest cycles and establish its customer base. Therefore, the Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company's current technology. Further, the company is under threat of foreclosure of the farm facilities as described in Note 6. The company plans to sell certain assets, including portions of the land to pay off debt and fund operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain certain forward-looking statements. Historical results may not indicate future performance. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events; are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. Factors that may cause differences between actual results and those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on July 2, 2024. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, including any changes that might result from any facts, events, or circumstances after the date hereof that may bear upon forward-looking statements. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussions are based upon our financial statements and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP Financial Measures of the United States.

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingencies. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experiences and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management.

Accounting for Our Shrimp Inventory

Our inventory of shrimp is divided into shrimp held for sale and broodstock shrimp. Broodstock are shrimp that are used for breeding purposes; selected for their genetic, disease-free and size attributes they can be more valuable than shrimp held for sale. We collect broodstock from the biomass just before the harvest and segregate them from the shrimp that will be harvested and sold. Broodstock, because of their higher value, may be sold to other shrimp farmers in the United States and overseas. We also keep a number of broodstock for our own restocking purposes. So, during the year, our inventory can consist of shrimp held for sale, broodstock held for sale and broodstock used for restocking purposes.

Shrimp farming is a seasonal business. On a calendar year basis, we typically use the broodstock to breed our larvae shrimp during the first quarter so that by spring the shrimp are held in large post-larvae tanks for development. Later, in early summer, the shrimp are transferred to ponds where they complete the grow out process over the next five to nine months. This can vary if we have more than one cycle of shrimp. Grow out may begin in the second in the second quarter, with a second cycle grow out beginning in early summer. The first harvest cycle can occur in early fall with the second harvest cycle occurring in November or December. During 2023, we had one cycle and harvest occurred in early November 2023. During 2024, we have not stocked, nor have we had a harvest; however, we are in process of larval development for broodstock families and line continuation.

Our shrimp inventory is valued at lower of cost or the net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis.

The inventory at September 30, 2024 consists of live broodstock animals. Included in this amount are costs and charges directly and indirectly incurred in bringing shrimp inventory to its existing condition and location as noted in FASB ASC 330-10-30.

At September 30, 2024, the broodstock shrimp for the 2024 harvest had been identified and segregated from consumable shrimp in outdoor ponds to indoor tanks. The table below summarizes inventory at September 30, 2024 and 2023.

		September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Held for Sale
Shrimp		$	12,234			$	187,437
Broodstock			-				-
Total Held for Sale			12,234				4,026
Broodstock - Restocking			210,000				53,362
Total inventory		$	222,234			$	247,825

At September 30, 2024, approximately 3,000 animals of broodstock will be used to populate our next harvest in 2025. The cost of the broodstock was reclassified to broodstock held for restocking on a pro rata basis of cost per pound of the total biomass of shrimp held for sale. Subsequent costs will be allocated in accordance with ASC 330-10-30.

Business Overview

Founded in 2017, we are a leading aquaculture company that provides premium quality, farm-raised pacific white shrimp, 100% free of antibiotics and hormones, to the U.S. domestic seafood market. We believe we are a leading aquaculture company due to Best Aquaculture Practices ("BAP") guidelines,¹ considering the rarity of the standards in the U.S. Although we are not currently in full compliance with BAP guidelines, we are working towards full compliance. At the moment, we adhere to BAP guidelines as part of our operating and production model. Grown at our 1,880-acre farm located in Rio Hondo, Texas, on the largest scale aquaculture farm in the U.S., our shrimp are meticulously raised to exceed in line with industry best practices according to BAP guidelines² using only authentic, sustainable practices. Within our controlled facility, each harvest is responsibly raised and cultivated onsite with minimal ecological footprint, promising our customers a superior product developed from the highest standard of care.

We have and will continue to utilize superior genetic linage broodstock for cultivation of own post larvae in our onsite genetics, maturation and hatchery facilities. These facilities allow us to continually develop animals with increasing growth rates, lower mortality, and stronger disease resistance. We began formal production runs in 2018 and to date have produced almost one million lbs. of shrimp for consumption.

Recent trends in the shrimp industry, including that, according to preliminary 2023 data from the National Marine Fisheries Service, shrimp prices have dropped as much as 44% since 2022.³ Our business, prospects, revenues, profitability, and future growth are highly dependent upon the prices of and demand for shrimp. Our ability to borrow and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent upon shrimp prices. These prices have been and are likely to continue to be extremely volatile for seasonal, cyclical, and other reasons. Any substantial or extended decline in the price of shrimp will have a material adverse effect on our financing capacity and our prospects for commencing and sustaining any economic commercial production. In addition, increased availability of imported shrimp can affect our business by lowering commodity prices. This could reduce the value of inventories, held both by us and by our customers, and cause many of our customers to reduce their orders for new products until they can dispose of their higher-cost inventories.

As of September 30, 2024, our current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $4,777,659. As of September 30, 2024, we had $0 cash. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we reported a net loss of $1,971,551. As of December 31, 2023, our current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,554,981. As of December 31, 2023, we had $6,600 cash.

We will require additional funding to finance the growth of our operations and achieve our strategic objectives. These factors, as relative to capital raising activities, create doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking to raise additional capital and are targeting strategic partners to accelerate the sales and marketing of our products and begin generating revenues. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements, expansion of our operations and generating sales. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations; however, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

As of September 30, 2024, we had a cash balance of $0, compared to a balance of $6,600 at December 31, 2023. We currently do not have sufficient cash to fund our operations for the next 12 months and we will require working capital to complete development and production, testing and marketing of our products and to pay for ongoing operating expenses. We anticipate adding management positions for corporate development and the corresponding operations of the Company, but this will not occur prior to obtaining additional capital. Currently, competitively priced loans from banks or other lending sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowings are not available to us. We have been able to raise working capital to fund operations through the issuances of convertible preferred stock to GHS, factoring our receivables, and borrowing funds from employees of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $4,777,659 as compared to December 31, 2023, when current liabilities exceeded current assets by $3,554,981, an increase of $1,222,678.

Our liquidity is significantly impacted by the farm note to King's Aqua Farm LLC, dated June 15, 2017, in the original amount of $5,600,000 bearing interest at 6.0% per annum, due in 2039, yielding a monthly payment of $38,687. Secured by the farm property, the outstanding principal balance at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2923, was $4,707,902. On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Modification Agreement with the lender. Under the agreement, the lender agreed that it would not exercise or enforce its rights or remedies against the Company to which it would be entitled under the terms of the Real Estate Lien Note dated June 15, 2017 in the original principal amount of $5,600,000, and the Deed of Trust executed by the Company as grantor in favor of Jizhong Wang, as trustee, for the benefit of the lender by occurrence of the failure by the Company to pay principal and interest installments from May 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024 before August 6, 2024. The forbearance was conditioned on the obligation of the Company to pay the lender $77,375, which was paid. At September 30, 2024, the Company is in default for $4,845,024 including principal and interest due to failure to remit timely monthly payments. On October 25, 2024, the Company signed a Deed in Lieu of where the lender agrees to forbear from exercising its rights to foreclosure take position of the property secured by the loan on or prior to November 30, 2024. If by December 1, 2024, the full amount of the debt has not been paid, the lender will proceed to either record the Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure or pursue to take possession of the property.

The Company is also a party to an SBA Loan through a bank in the original amount of $150,000 bearing interest at 3.75% per annum, due in 2050, yielding a monthly payment amount of $731.

Liquidity is also affected by notes to our shareholders. At September 30, 2024, shareholders have loaned the Company approximately $1,642,598 which notes accrue interest at ranging from 12.0% to 18% per annum and were due March 31, 2024. The Company extended this due date to July 1, 2024, and plans to extend it again to January 1, 2025 . Current discussions with noteholders are underway and, although an extension is not certain, we expect the noteholders to agree to this extension. Until an extension is agreed, the notes are in default.

In February 2024, the Company signed an unsecured promissory note with a lender for $111,600, bearing one-time interest at the rate of 13%, and maturing on four dates beginning on August 30, 2024 and ending on November 30, 2024.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Management's Discussion and Analysis contains information based on management's beliefs and forward-looking statements that involve several risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to, our ability to obtain the equity/debt funding or borrowings necessary to produce, market and launch our products, our ability to successfully serially produce and market our products; our success establishing and maintaining production lines; the acceptance of our products by customers; our continued ability to pay operating costs; our ability to meet demand for our products; the amount and nature of competition from our competitors; the effects of technological changes on products and product demand; and our ability to successfully adapt to market forces and technological demands of our customers.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and, as such, is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Adam Thomas, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Mr. Thomas has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2024. Based on his evaluation, Mr. Thomas concluded that, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024. In light of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we completed substantive procedures, including validating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for accounting prior to filing this Form 10-Q.

These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our quarter ended September 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
