AMERICAN BATTERY MATERIALS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited)
Note 1 - Nature of the Business
American Battery Materials Inc. (the “Company”) is a US based renewable energy company focused on the extraction, refinement and distribution of technical minerals in an environmentally responsible manner.
The Company formerly developed, marketed and distributed various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America. Due to the nationwide shutdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company spent a portion of 2020 restructuring and retiring certain corporate debt and obligations, while focusing on implementing a new operational direction.
Through the corporate reorganization and repositioning process, the Company found itself with the unique opportunity to expand its management team and acquire mining claims that historically reported high levels of Lithium and other tech minerals. The Company hired and affiliated itself with industry veterans that bring decades of experience, credibility and relationships.
On
November 5, 2021, the Company acquired the rights to 102 Federal Mining Claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah for $
On
April 25, 2023, the Company formed Mountain Sage Minerals, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, of which it is the
On May 1, 2023, FINRA completed the processing of our application for a name change, and our name was officially changed to American Battery Materials Inc. At the same time, the Company’s trading symbol was changed to BLTH. These changes better reflect the business of the Company.
On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Seaport Global Acquisition II Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SGII”), and Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SGII (“Merger Sub”). SGII is a blank check company, also referred to as a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. Following material changes to the transaction proposed by SGII making the transaction untenable to us, on November 20, 2023, SGII notified us that it had elected to terminate the Merger Agreement.
On January 16, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of its common stock at a ratio of one share for every 5 shares outstanding prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split became effective on January 24, 2025. The total number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from shares to shares. The par value of the class Common Stock will remain the same at $ per share. The authorized shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock, par value $ per share will not change. All per share amounts and number of shares in the consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.
The Company has been moving forward with its strategy of employing advanced brine extractive technology methodologies and has been in talks with numerous extraction providers. Selective mineral extraction is clearly the most cost-effective and ESG friendly approach currently available. Technologies are being utilized that can extract the desired minerals and metals from the brine and then re-inject the brines back down into the aquifer. The prospective partners have been provided the analytical results from the technical reports, but will soon provide current results, analytical, geotech modeling, aquifer modeling, recharge, flows and depth.

Note 2 - Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company had a net loss of $
Until the Company can generate significant cash from operations, its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional financing. The Company hopes to raise additional financing, potentially through the sale of debt or equity instruments, or a combination, to fund its operations for the next 12 months and allow the Company to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, the Company will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing. These conditions have raised substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements, which has not been alleviated.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating, therefore, requires the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, or as additional information is obtained.
Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of the assets. Equipment has estimated useful lives between three and
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If it is determined that an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value.
Mineral Rights and Properties
The
Company capitalizes acquisition costs until the Company determines the economic viability of the property. Since the Company does not
have proven and probable reserves as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-K Item 1300, exploration
expenditures are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses mineral lease costs and repair and maintenance costs as incurred. The Company
reviews the carrying value of our properties for impairment, including mineral rights, upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances
that indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. During the period ending December 31, 2023, the Company took action
to expand on its rights to 102 federal mining claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah that it purchased on November 5, 2021, for
$
| 6 |
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share reflect the actual weighted average of shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. In a loss period, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive.
As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were approximately and shares respectively, potentially issuable under convertible debt agreements, options, warrants and preferred stock that could dilute basic earnings per share if converted that were excluded from the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses .
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Certain warrants issued by the Company contain terms that result in the warrants being classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
| ● | Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. | |
| ● | Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that the Company values using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the derivative instruments, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. | |
| ● | Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 instruments include derivative warrant instruments. The Company does not have sufficient corroborating evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 1 or Level 2. |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employees to be measured at grant date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as expense. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally equivalent to the vesting period. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The measurement date for the non-forfeitable awards to non-employees that vest immediately is the date the award is issued.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control for promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the revenue recognition principles, an entity is required to identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied (i.e., either over time or at a point in time). ASC 606 further requires that companies disclose sufficient information to enable readers of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The
Company recognized $

Convertible Debt
The Company issues convertible notes as part of its financing strategy, which may contain embedded features such as conversion options, redemption provisions, and contractual adjustments like most favored nations clauses. Convertible debt is accounted for under ASC 470, Debt, as amended by ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options, adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2024. This standard simplifies the accounting by eliminating certain separation models for convertible instruments, requiring the Company to evaluate the debt as a single instrument unless bifurcation of embedded derivatives is required under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
Convertible notes are initially recorded at their principal amount, net of issuance costs or discounts, and classified as liabilities unless specific features mandate equity classification. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method over the notes’ terms.
The Company’s convertible debt instruments are debt host financial instruments containing embedded features, some of which would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic estimated fair value measurements under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Embedded features are assessed to determine if they require bifurcation as derivatives. Features are bifurcated if their economic characteristics and risks are not clearly and closely related to the debt host, the hybrid instrument is not remeasured at fair value through earnings, and the feature would qualify as a standalone derivative. Bifurcated derivatives are recorded at fair value, with subsequent changes recognized in earnings. However, features contingent on events with low probability (e.g., uplisting or an event of default) are assigned immaterial value. The Company continues to monitor its facts and circumstances in each reporting period to evaluate whether each immaterial embedded feature’s fair value or change to it is significant and would therefore need to be ascribed value.
Common stock issued with convertible notes are treated as freestanding equity instruments under ASC 815-40, recorded at fair value in additional paid-in capital, with proceeds allocated between the debt and shares using the relative fair value method. The fair value of the shares issued are treated as a discount to the value of the convertible debt issued.
Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized as additional interest expense over the debt term, unless allocated to bifurcated derivatives, in which case they are expensed immediately if material.
Refinancings of convertible and promissory notes previously issued by the Company are evaluated under ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, or ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors. A refinancing is accounted for as an extinguishment if the present value of cash flows under the new terms differs by at least 10% from the original terms or if a substantive conversion option is added or eliminated. When an extinguishment occurs, the original debt is derecognized and the new debt is recorded at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss in earnings. If not extinguished, a refinancing is treated as a modification with no gain or loss recognition. If the Company were to experience multiple changes to the same debt within a one-year period, and the first of those changes were determined to be a modification, the Company would then evaluate the changes within the one-year period on a cumulative basis.
A refinancing is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the Company is experiencing financial difficulty and the creditor grants a concession (e.g., reduced effective interest rate). For TDRs, the carrying amount is adjusted only if undiscounted future cash flows fall below the net carrying value of the original debt. When the undiscounted future cash flows of refinanced debt fall below the net carrying value of the original debt, the Company would record a gain for the difference. It would further adjust the carrying value of the debt to the future undiscounted cash flow amount with no interest expense recorded going forward. All future interest payments would then reduce the carrying value of the respective debt modified. If the undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the carrying value of the original debt, no gain would be recorded. The Company would then calculate a new effective interest rate based upon the carrying value of the original debt and the revised future cash flows under the terms of the new debt.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates certain models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features, in certain cases. Additionally, among other changes, the guidance eliminates certain of the conditions for equity classification for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance also requires entities to use the if converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective beginning after December 15, 2023 and must be applied using either a modified or full retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance and applied it to its convertible notes issued throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances disclosure requirements related to income taxes, including rate reconciliation and taxes paid by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect a material impact upon adoption.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Liabilities—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 405-50): Recognition and Initial Measurement, clarifying accounting by a joint venture upon formation and requiring fair value measurement of contributed assets and liabilities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not expect a material impact upon adoption.
In April 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method, expanding the use of this method to additional tax credit structures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company does not expect a material impact upon adoption.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Disclosure Framework—Changes to Income Tax Disclosure Requirements, which further refines disclosure requirements to improve consistency and comparability. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Leases (Topic 842): Disclosures about Leasing Arrangements, which enhances qualitative and quantitative lease disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has examined recent accounting pronouncements and determined that they will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Equity Incentive Plan
On July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and on July 26, 2011, stockholders holding a majority of shares of the Company approved, by written consent, the Plan and the issuance under the Plan of shares. On November 16, 2017, the Board of Directors approved an increase of shares to be made available for issuance under the Plan. Accordingly, the total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is shares. On August 13, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted the American Battery Materials Inc. 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan, which was deemed desirable and in the best interests of the Corporation, authorizing the executive officers to implement and administer this new plan, reserving shares of Common Stock for issuance. Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies. Such options may be designated at the time of grant as either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Stock-based compensation includes expense charges related to all stock-based awards. Such awards include options, warrants and stock grants. Generally, the Company issues stock options that vest over three years and expire in to years. As of September 30, 2025, all outstanding awards have been granted under the Plan.
Earnings per share calculations are performed in accordance with ASC 260, ‘Earnings Per Share’. Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, which were and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares, such as those issuable under convertible debt agreements, stock options, warrants, and preferred stock, unless their inclusion is anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, approximately and potential common shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to the Company’s reported net losses, as their inclusion would have reduced the loss per share, rendering them anti-dilutive. The determination of anti-dilution was based on the application of the treasury stock method for options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible debt and preferred stock, as applicable.

Overview and Outlook
We are a U.S. based renewable energy company focused on the extraction, refinement and distribution of technical minerals in an environmentally responsible manner. We formerly developed, marketed and distributed various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America. Due to the nationwide shutdown related to the Covid-19 pandemic, we spent a portion of 2020 restructuring and retiring certain corporate debt and obligations and focusing on implementing a new operational direction.
Through the corporate reorganization and repositioning process, we found ourselves with the unique opportunity to acquire mining claims that historically reported high levels of lithium and other technical minerals crucial to produce batteries used in many technology products and markets. We hired and affiliated ourselves with industry veterans that bring decades of experience, credibility and relationships.
On November 5, 2021, we acquired the rights to 102 federal mining claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah for $100,000 plus the future payment of royalties based on a percentage of the net revenue from the sale of lithium produced from a portion of the mining property. The acquisition was driven by historical mineral data from seven existing wells with brine aquifer access. We are defined as an exploration stage issuer, under SEC Regulation S-K Item 1300. An independent third-party technical report indicated that further investment and development in the claims was warranted, although no determination has been made whether we have any reserves of minerals. Similarly, no determination has been made whether mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted. We have no mineral reserves as defined by Regulation S-K Item 1300 and have had no mining revenue to date.
In July 2023, we acquired and staked additional lithium mining claims adjacent to our Lisbon Valley Project in Utah. The new claims have been registered with the BLM. We now own a total of 743 placer claims over 14,320 acres (approximately 22 square miles), comprised of the 102 original mining claims and 641 new claims.
On April 25, 2023, we formed Mountain Sage Minerals, LLC, a Utah limited liability company. We plan to expand our holdings in the Lisbon Valley area with the acquisition of additional mineral claims and joint venture opportunities through this entity.
On June 1, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Seaport Global Acquisition II Corp. (“SGII”) and Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SGII. SGII is a blank check company, also referred to as a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. As a result of the Merger Agreement, we would have become a wholly owned subsidiary of SGII. Following material changes to the transaction proposed by SGII making the transaction untenable to us, on November 20, 2023, SGII notified us that it had elected to terminate the Merger Agreement.
We have been moving forward with our strategy of employing advanced brine extractive technology methodologies and have been in talks with numerous extraction providers. Selective mineral extraction is the most cost-effective and ESG friendly approach currently available. Technologies are being utilized that can extract the desired minerals and metals from the brine and then re-inject the brines back down into the aquifer. The prospective partners have been provided the analytical results from the technical reports, but will soon provide current results, analytical, geotech modeling, aquifer modeling, recharge, flows and depth. We will need funding to support continuing operations and support our growth strategy and we will need to finance operations by offering any combination of equity offerings, debt financing, collaborations, strategic alliances or other licensing arrangements. There is no assurance we will be able to raise sufficient capital to finance our operations.

Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $990,109 and $516,083, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a fair value of stock issued for note modification of $1,273,659 and $14,382, respectively.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $510,810, as compared to $295,572 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $4,283,772 as compared to the net loss of $2,041,882 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for capital expenditures. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Our company had a net loss of $4,283,772 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, had accumulated losses totaling $28,830,329, and a working capital deficit of $9,237,497 as of September 30, 2025. These factors, among others, indicate that our company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Since we acquired our first mining claims in November 2021, we have faced an increasingly challenging liquidity situation that has limited our ability to execute our operating plan. Our company will need to raise additional financing in order to fund its operations for the next 12 months and to allow us to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, we will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance that our company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing.
| 17 |
Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Unless we can attract additional investment, our operating as a going concern is in doubt.
If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our company used $483,456 of cash in operating activities as a result of our net loss of $4,283,772, offset by loss on debt settlement of $990,109, fair value of stock issued for note modification of $1,273,659, share-based compensation of $785,181, accrued interest of $494,766, and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $256,601.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our company used $585,876 of cash in operating activities as a result of our net loss of $2,041,882, offset by loss on debt settlement of $516,083 and amortization of debt discount of $28,497, fair value of stock issued for note modification of $14,382, share-based compensation of $14,261, accrued interest of $219,910, and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $662,783.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
David Graber, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Sebastian Lux, who serves as our President and Chief Operating Officer and Agustin Cabo, who serves as our Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer (collectively referred to herein as “Senior Management”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Senior Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on its evaluation, Senior Management concluded as of September 30, 2025 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
| ● | We do not have controls designed to validate the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the determination of accounting transactions. Accordingly, we believe we have a material weakness because there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the interim or annual consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. |
| 18 |
| ● | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which is applicable to us. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represents a material weakness. | |
| ● | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represents a material weakness. | |
| ● | We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. | |
| ● | We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. |
Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, Senior Management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, Senior Management is currently seeking to improve our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate the deficiencies described above.

| ● | Issuance of Common Stock in Connection with Note Extensions: During the period, the Company issued an aggregate of 174,493 shares of common stock to certain noteholders of its promissory and convertible notes as part of extension agreements and a Most Favored Nation adjustment. These shares were issued in consideration for the extension of the maturity dates of certain notes to October 31, 2025, and the application of similar terms to three note pursuant to a Most Favored Nation clause. The issuances were exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as they were private transactions not involving a public offering. |
