NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GZ6G Technologies Corp. (formerly Green Zebra International Corp.) (the “Company” or “GZ6G”) is a complete enterprise smart solutions provider for large venues and cities. Focused on acquiring smart city solutions, developing innovative products, and overseeing smart cities and smart venues, GZ6G also assists in modernizing clients with innovative wireless IoT technology for the emerging 5G and Wi-Fi 6 marketplaces. Target markets include stadiums, airports, universities, and smart city projects. The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada and has offices in California and Nevada.
In November 2018, the Company changed its name from NanoSensors, Inc. to Green Zebra International Corp. following a merger with Green Zebra Media Corp., a Delaware corporation, under common control.
The Board of Directors approved a name change and a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio of 200 to 1 on December 18, 2019. The accompanying financial statements, and all share and per share information contained herein has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. On December 20, 2019, the Company changed its name from Green Zebra International Corp. to GZ6G Technologies Corp.
On August 6, 2021, Mr. William Ray Procanik and Mr. Brian Scott Hale were appointed to the Company’s board of directors and concurrently the Company formed an audit committee, which each of Mr. Hale and Mr. Procanik joined, serving as independent board members. Concurrently the Company completed an application for an uplist to the OTCQB and submitted the required disclosure through OTCMarkets. The Company was approved for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market on October 25, 2021.
Going Concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3.96 million with approximately $0.3 million of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $19 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company received net cash proceeds of $627,400 by way of a series of convertible promissory notes. The Company anticipates a need for up to a further $5 million in fiscal 2023 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements. In addition to the remaining funding which may be provided to the Company under various loan agreements, the Company is in the process of filing a follow-on registration statement on Form S-1 to facilitate additional funding up to a maximum of $10,000,000. There is no guarantee the Company will continue to receive financing as required. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise additional equity and/or debt financing and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
COVID-19 Pandemic and other factors
While the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided and the global economy is focused on recovery, the impact of COVID-19 could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company going forward. COVID-19 caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may continue to impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and to pursue implementation of its planned smart city and related smart venue projects. Additional factors which may impact the Company’s ongoing operations include inflation, potential supply chain issues as a result of the aforementioned recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent war in the Ukraine, climate change and others. These events may have serious adverse impact on domestic and foreign economies which may impact the Company’s operations as a result of a variety of factors including the potential for reduced consumer spending and attendance at locations that use our services. The Company is unable to predict the ongoing impact of these factors on the Company’s consolidated financial operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to meet its obligations, raise funds or conclude the acquisition of identified businesses.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2023.
Consolidation
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GZ6G Technology Corp. and its
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial accounting purposes, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At March 31, 2023 and December
31, 2022, the Company had $
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Research and Development Costs
We charge research and development costs to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730-Research and Development, except in those cases in which such costs are reimbursable under customer funded contracts. These amounts are not reflected in the reported research and development expenses in each of the respective periods but are included in net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales in each of the respective periods.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of this standard is that a company should record revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements and service-based contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
We earn revenue from service and sponsorship agreements, digital marketing and the sale of WiFi and communication solutions to customers across the United States. Revenue is earned from sales of our WiFi media platform and our WiFi monetization hardware (GZ Media hub) embedded with GZ software to create monetization and communication solutions for our customers. Our sales can consist of any one or a combination of items required by our customer including hardware, technology platforms and related support. We also enter into licensing contracts which provide for revenue based on licensing fees and revenue sharing with our licensees.
As we expand, we expect a large portion of our revenue from our digital communication solutions to be derived from service-based contracts where we expect to recognize a significant portion of our contracts over time, as there is a continuous delivery of services to the customer over the contractual period of performance. These contracts may or may not include fixed payments for services over time and/or commission-based fees.
Direct costs are expected to include materials, labor and overhead to be charged to work-in-progress (including our contracts-in-progress) inventory or cost of sales. Indirect costs relating to long-term contracts, are expected to include expenses such as general and administrative charges, and other costs will be charged to expense as incurred and will not be included in our work-in-process (including our contracts-in-progress) inventory or cost of sales. Total estimates are expected to be reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become evident. If we do not accurately estimate the total sales, related costs and progress towards completion on our long-term contracts, the estimated gross margins may be significantly impacted, or losses may need to be recognized in future periods. Any such resulting changes in margins or contract losses could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, certain of our contracts will include termination for convenience or non-performance clauses that provide the customer with the right to terminate the contract. Such terminations could impact the assumptions regarding total contract revenues and expenses utilized in recognizing profit under those contracts where we apply the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Changes to these assumptions could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition. As we fully implement our business model, our inability to perform on our long-term contracts could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based transactions in which the Company receives services from employees, non-employees, directors or others in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options or warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each instrument’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.

(Unaudited)
Debt Issue Costs
The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense.
Original Issue Discount
If debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Stock Settled Debt
In
certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature
is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market.
In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as
stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had recorded within Convertible Notes, net of discount, the amount of
$
Leases
The Company follows ASC 842 Leases, which requires recognition of most leases on the balance sheet, specifically the recognition of right-to-use assets and related lease liabilities, and enhanced disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease and will continue to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 recovered or settled.

In accordance with ASC 260 – Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features.
The computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 excludes potentially dilutive securities of underlying share purchase warrants, convertible notes, and preferred shares, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

NOTE 6: CUSTOMER DEPOSITS, CONTRACT RECEIVABLES AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
The Company generates revenue from contracts which, among other services, provide wireless and digital promotion rights for certain events including WiFi media network advertising rights, and the development of smart venue wireless networks and software engagement technology products for airports, stadiums, campuses, cities and other venues in the United States and International markets. In general, our contracts require several months of implementation which is charged at a fixed rate, followed by monthly maintenance and management services, ad hoc fixed rate services, and a share in advertising revenue, when applicable. As a result, the Company will accept deposits from customers, which deposits are applied as each stage of our implementation is complete or under the terms of the service contract. Invoices issued to customers for the implementation phase of our contracts are due and payable when issued, however, as the associated scope of services have not yet been concluded, these invoices do not yet meet the revenue recognition criteria required to report these amounts as earned revenue (ref: Note 2 – Revenue Recognition). As a result, deposits when received from customers are included as liabilities on our balance sheets.
The following table provides balances of customer receivables and contract liabilities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
| March 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||

| (2) | Contract liabilities are consideration we have received from our customers
billed in advance of providing goods or services promised in the future or for work in progress. We defer recognizing this consideration
as revenue until we have satisfied the related performance obligation to the customer. Contract liabilities include installation and maintenance
charges that are deferred and recognized when the installation is complete or with respect to deposits for maintenance, over the actual
or expected contract term, which typically ranges from one to five years depending on the service. Contract liabilities
may be included as customer deposits or deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets, based on the specifics of the contract. During
the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 , we have recognized $ |
Performance Obligations
While we had originally expected to recognize revenue during fiscal 2020 with respect to contracts for which we have received customer deposits, the impact of COVID-19 had a significant impact on implementation. The Company is currently in negotiations to determine the best way to proceed with the delayed implementation of these contracts, or their termination.
(a) We executed a license agreement for the country of Spain in fiscal 2016 and the Company received an initial deposit of $25,000 against the total licensing fee payable. This amount has been recorded on the Company’s balance sheets as deferred income. While the Company and the customer attempted to negotiate an amendment to the terms of the agreement in late fiscal 2019, the onset of COVID-19 resulted in further delays which are ongoing. As a result, the Company is currently in negotiation for a formal termination of the agreement with this customer.

Plan of Operations
We are an emerging smart city technology growth company that provides wireless and monetization enterprise level smart solutions to cities and large venues that require multiple types of products, services and third-party solutions to fulfil client needs. To date we have generated modest revenues from operations, and while we have various contracts in place for future development, there is no assurance of future revenues.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Revenue
We generated a total of $70,547 and $3,000 in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2023 is directly related to agree instalment invoices with respect to a long term contracts entered into during the year ended December 31, 2022 under which the Company provides hardware installation services, professional design services and future monthly services with revenue sharing on certain sponsorship components.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $979,724 as compared to $722,553 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we reported costs of revenue of $39,277 and $1,088, respectively. The Company incurred $714,979 and $532,187 in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively and general and administrative costs from related parties of $120,000 for each three months period, respectively. General and administrative expenses incurred from related parties include management fees charged by our CEO, William Coleman Smith, and a company controlled by him. General and administrative expenses include staff payroll, rent, travel, office and sundry expense, transfer agent costs, consulting, marketing, advertising and promotional expenses. The substantial increase primarily relates to an increase in marketing and promotional expense from $11,240 (2022) to $262,924 in the current three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of the contracts with the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. The Company incurred $293,364 in payroll expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $391,712 for the period ended March 31, 2022. Transfer agent and filing fees increased substantially from $10,411 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $70,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as the company undertook financing activities requiring additional services. Software expenses were $15,504 and $11,846, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Rent expense increased slightly from $42,103 for the period ended March 31, 2022 to $47,546 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Professional fees in the three months ended March 31, 2022, totaled $22,800 as compared to $76,190 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, mainly due to additional costs as the Company incurred additional fees due to expenses associated with the filing of a registration statement and ongoing offering costs. Depreciation decreased to $29,278 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $46,478 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Other income (expense)
Other expense reported for three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $2,218,679 as compared to other income in the current three months ended March 31, 2023 of $4,864,627. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported other expenses of $2,264,770 attributable to interest expenses as a result of the debt discount applied to certain convertible promissory notes offset by the amount of $46,091 related to the forgiveness of a PPP loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reported interest expense of 771,401, including the amortization of debt of $539,376 offset by a gain on the conversion of certain debt instruments to common stock of $5,636,028.
26
We recorded a net loss attributable to the Company of $2,937,633 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to net income of $3,970,716 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $24,114 and was related to equipment purchases of $54,114 offset by proceeds from a credit related to leasehold improvements of $30,000.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, financing activities provided net cash of $562,545, which was comprised of proceeds from convertible notes of $627,400 offset by cash repayments to convertible notes in the period of $64,855.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, financing activities provided net cash of $55,702, which was comprised of proceeds from convertible notes of $50,000 and a refund of related to a PPP loan which was forgiven during the period of $5,702.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has been in the start-up phase and has generated limited revenues from its operations, and while we have various contracts in place for future development, there is no assurance of future revenues. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,956,782 and $8,906,205, respectively, with approximately $333,000 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $18,992,835. While the Company received proceeds of approximately $627,400 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from certain convertible notes, the Company is still not able to meet its operational overhead. The Company anticipates a need for up to a further $5,000,000 in fiscal 2023 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements and has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to facilitate this requirement. The issuance of additional securities may continue to result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.
27
COVID-19 Pandemic and other factors
While the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided and the global economy is focused on recovery, the impact of COVID-19 could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company going forward. COVID-19 caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may continue to impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and to pursue implementation of its planned smart city and related smart venue projects. Additional factors which may impact the Company’s ongoing operations include inflation, potential supply chain issues as a result of the aforementioned recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent war in the Ukraine, climate change and others. These events may have serious adverse impact on domestic and foreign economies which may impact the Company’s operations as a result of a variety of factors including the potential for reduced consumer spending and attendance at locations that use our services. The Company is unable to predict the ongoing impact of these factors on the Company’s consolidated financial operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to meet its obligations, raise funds or conclude the acquisition of identified businesses.
Going Concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company anticipates a need for up to a further $5 million in fiscal 2023 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements. In addition to the remaining funding which may be provided to the Company under various loan agreements, the Company is in the process of filing a follow-on registration statement on Form S-1 to facilitate additional funding up to a maximum of $10,000,000. We raised net proceeds of $627,400 during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 through certain convertible loans to assist with ongoing operational costs. There is no guarantee the Company will continue to receive financing as required. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise additional equity and/or debt financing and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The estimates used for, but not limited to, the collectability of accounts receivable and fair value of financial instruments could be impacted. We have assessed the impact and are not aware of any specific events or circumstances that required an update to our estimates and assumptions or materially affected the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
28
Estimates
Stock-Based Compensation
We use the fair value method to account for Stock-based compensation cost for stock options or warrants, estimated at the grant date based on each instrument’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.
Stock Settled Debt
In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of March 31, 2023 we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive, principal operating and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) 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.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at March 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, as of March 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
Our internal controls are not effective for the following reasons: (i) there is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives as management is comprised of only one person who is the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and, (ii) the Company has just recently formed an audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.
In order to mitigate the foregoing material weaknesses, we have engaged an outside accounting consultant with significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
We would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will continue to reassess this matter to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. In addition, we would need to expand our board to include independent members.
Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective controls over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
