NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
International Media Acquisition

was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with
As of June 30, 2025 the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025, related to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target and executing a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company had selected March 31 as its fiscal year end. On August 16, 2022, the board of directors of International Media Acquisition Corp. approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31, in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2022. The Company’s first fiscal year began on April 1, 2022, and ended on March 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”). The Company filed a Transition Report on Form 10-QT that included financial information for the Transition Period with the SEC on September 29, 2022. The Company’s 2021 fiscal year began on January 1, 2021 and ended on December 31, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”). There was no Fiscal 2022.

Offering (the “Public Shares”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion
of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means
of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender
offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for

If the Company seeks stockholder approval and assuming a quorum is present at the meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Prior Sponsor and the other holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, their Private Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or don’t vote at all.
Notwithstanding the above,
if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules,
the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder
or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to

Delisting from the Nasdaq
On July 30, 2024, the Company received a notice (“Delisting Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq, which stated that, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by August 6, 2024 for additional time to complete a business combination, trading of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market would be suspended at the opening of business on August 8, 2024, due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement.
On August 8, 2024, trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq. The securities are now quoted on Over-the-Counter (OTC) markets under the same symbols.

Risks and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating the impact of current global economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, high inflation, high energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and the ongoing Russia/Ukraine/Belarus, Hamas/Iran/Lebanon/Israel in the Middle Eastern countries conflicts and/or other future global conflicts (including the impact of any sanctions imposed in response thereto) and the United States trade and tariff policy and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the risks and uncertainties related to or resulting from these events could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation

U.S. federal
Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
As a result of the redemptions by the public stockholders
in August 2023 and January 2024, and December 2024, the Company recorded $
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. The interim results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through March 31, 2026 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
18
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all
short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of

Investments Held in Trust Account

held in the Trust Account were comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a) (16) of the Investment
Company Act, with maturities of

Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. In accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, the Public Warrants qualify for equity treatment. The Private Warrants do not qualify as equity and are recorded as a liability at fair value. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Private Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants (as defined in Note 4) was estimated using a Black-Scholes method (see Note 9).
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the remaining Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all redeemable Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
As of June 30, 2025, the redeemable common stock reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with
the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally
of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering
costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering
costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs
amounting to $
Share-Based Payment Arrangements
The Company accounts for stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires that all equity awards be accounted for at their fair value. Fair value is measured on the grant date and is equal to the underlying value of the stock.
Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from the Company’s initial estimates; previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied, and the award is forfeited.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company’s effective
tax rate was (

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through June 30, 2025.
The Company recognizes accrued
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company accrued
The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company’s tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, remain open and subject to examination. The Company filed amended tax returns for the calendar years 2023 and 2022 in July 2024 and subsequently refiled these amended returns in March 2025. Tax return for the calendar year 2024 was also filed in March 2025. All filed tax returns are subject to examination.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Net loss per common share
is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As the Public
Shares are considered to be redeemable at fair value, and a redemption at fair value does not amount to a distribution different than
other stockholders, redeemable and non-redeemable common stock are presented as one class of stock in calculating net loss per share.
The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate
of

Concentration of Credit Risk

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities are of approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
See Note 9 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of March 31, 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 mostly requires, on an annual basis, disclosure of specific categories in an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The incremental disclosures may be presented on a prospective or retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2023-09 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

No Public Warrants will be
exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement
covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within
No Public Warrants will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the shares of common stock have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so and, if the Company does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and the Company will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the shares of common stock are not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the Company will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless.

If the Company calls the Public

number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying

The accounting treatment for derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the Private Warrants as derivative liabilities at fair value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and subsequently at the end of each reporting period. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to its current fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right or a Private Right will automatically receive one-twentieth (1/20) of one share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a Public Right or a Private Right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-twentieth (1/20) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination.
The Company will not issue
fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or
otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware law. As a result, the holders of the rights must hold rights
in multiples of 20 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company
is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Amended Combination Period and the Company redeems the Public Shares
for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire
worthless. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, there were

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following table presents information about the Company’s financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Description | Amount at Fair Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||||

| Money Market investments | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||

| Warrant liability - Private Warrants | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes method to value the Private Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock using the implied volatility of the comparable companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the Private Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.
The following table provides the significant inputs to the Black-Scholes method for the fair value of the Private Warrants:

NOTE 10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are general and administrative expenses and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account. General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Interest earned on investments held in Trust Account are reviewed to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on January 15, 2021, in Delaware and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Annual Report as our “initial business combination”. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and the private placement of the Private Units (as defined below), the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial business combination:
| ● | may significantly dilute the equity interest of our investors who would not have pre-emption rights in respect of any such issuance; |
| ● | may subordinate the rights of holders of shares of common stock if we issue shares of preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our shares of common stock; |
| ● | could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; |
| ● | may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and |
| ● | may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock, rights and/or warrants. |
Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:
| ● | default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations; |
| ● | acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; |
38
| ● | our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; |
| ● | our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding; |
| ● | using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes; |
| ● | limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate; |
| ● | increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; |
| ● | limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and |
| ● | other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt. |
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

In addition, the Supporting Shareholder has agreed not to sell, assign, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, dispose, loan or otherwise transfer the shares of the VCI Target Company owned of record and beneficially by such Supporting Shareholders or over which such Supporting Shareholders have voting power, prior to the earlier to occur of (a) the closing of the share purchase, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement, and (c) written agreement of the applicable Support Agreement and the Company and Purchaser.

VCI Loan Agreement
On April 20, 2025, the Company entered into a non-interest bearing unsecured loan (the “VCI Loan Agreement”) to provide a maximum aggregate amount of $499,900 (the “VCI Loan”) to VNB and VCI Target Company (collectively referred to as the “Borrower”) to be used by the Borrower exclusively for the expenses directly arising out of the VCI Business Combination (the “Transaction”) or as otherwise agreed upon by the Company.
The VCI Loan bears no interest and the Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the VCI Loan within thirty (30) days of the earlier of: (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement, except where such termination shall have resulted from material breach by the Company of the Merger Agreement, then the VCI Loan shall be waived, (ii) the date on which the parties determine that the parties will not be able to consummate the Transaction. VCI Target Company and VNB will be jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the principal amount of the VCI Loan. Upon a successful consummation of the Transaction, the VCI Loan repayment may be waived at the option of the Borrower.
Equity Line of Credit Agreement
On April 20, 2025, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Line Agreement”) with White Lion Capital LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Investor”). Under the terms of the Equity Line Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to require the Investor to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock up to $300,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, with an option for the Company to increase this amount to $500,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”), subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Line Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms by the Equity Line Agreement.
In connection with the Closing, the Company will form the Purchaser. Upon Purchaser’s formation, the Company will assign the Equity Line Agreement to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Company as if it were the original signatory to the Equity Line Agreement.
Pursuant to terms of the Equity Line Agreement, the Company is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares to be acquired by the Investor within thirty (30) days following the closing of the VCI Business Combination.
The Company’s right to drawdown from the Equity Line will commence on the first trading day following the Closing and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor shall have purchased an aggregate number of Purchase Notice Shares (as defined in Equity Line Agreement) pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement equal to the Commitment Amount or (ii) 36 months following the first trading day upon the Closing with an option to increase to 60 months at the Company’s sole discretion following $100,000,000 in gross investment by the Investor (the “Commitment Period”), in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Line Agreement, as described in more detail below.
During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Line Agreement, including that there be an effective registration statement relating to the transactions contemplated by the Equity Line Agreement, the Company may deliver written purchase notices (each a “Regular Purchase Notice”) to the Investor when the Company exercises its right to sell shares (the delivery date of any such notice, the “Regular Purchase Notice Date”). the Investor’s purchase price will be the lower of (i) the closing price of the Company’s common Stock prior to the receipt of the applicable Regular Purchase Notice or (ii) the product of (a) the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the two (2) consecutive business days commencing on and including the Regular Purchase Notice Date and (b) ninety-eight percent (98%). Investor’s committed obligation under each Regular Purchase Notice shall not exceed $5,000,000 and the number of share sold pursuant to the Regular Purchase Notice may not exceed the lesser of (i) 40% of the previous 5-days’ Average Daily Trading Volume immediately preceding receipt of the Regular Purchase Notice or (ii)$5,000,000 divided by the highest closing price of the Company’s common stock over the most recent five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the receipt of the Regular Purchase Notice (the “Regular Purchase Limit”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may waive the Regular Purchase Limit at any time to allow the Investor to purchase additional shares under a Regular Purchase Notice.
40
In addition, during the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Line Agreement, including that there be an effective registration statement relating to the transactions contemplated by the Equity Line Agreement, the Company may deliver a written rapid purchase notice (the “Rapid Purchase Notice”) to the Investor when the Company exercises its right to sell shares (the delivery date of such notice, the “Rapid Purchase Notice Date”). The Investor’s rapid purchase price will be 98% of the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock 1 hour following the confirmation of the receipt of the Rapid Purchase Notice by the Investor.
The Investor’s committed obligation under the Rapid Purchase Notice shall not exceed $5,000,000, and the number of shares sold pursuant to the Rapid Purchase Notice may not exceed $5,000,000 divided by the highest closing price of the Company’s common stock over the most recent five Business Days immediately preceding receipt of the subject Purchase Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may waive the Rapid Purchase Notice Limit at any time to allow the Investor to purchase additional shares under a Rapid Purchase Notice.
The Company is not entitled to draw on the Equity Line Agreement unless each of the following additional conditions is satisfied: (i) a registration statement is and remains effective for the resale of securities in connection with the Equity Line Agreement; (ii) each of the Company’ representations and warranties set forth in the Equity Line Agreement is true and correct (subject to qualifications as to materiality set forth therein) as of such time; (iii) the Company shall have complied with its obligations in all material respects; (iv) no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling, or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated, or adopted by any court or governmental authority that prohibits or directly and materially adversely affects any of the transactions contemplated by the Equity Line Agreement, and no proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or materially adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by the Equity Line Agreement; (v) since the date of filing of the Company’s most recent annual report or quarterly report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, no event that had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred; (vi) the trading of the Company’s common stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market, or otherwise halted for any reason; (vii) the number of Purchase Notice Shares purchased by Investor is limited to the beneficial ownership limitation, which is 4.99% of outstanding shares, or up to 9.99% with 61 days’ notice; (viii) the Company shall be free from any “stock promotion” flag; (ix) the Company shall have no knowledge of any event more likely than not to have the effect of causing the effectiveness of the registration statement to be suspended or any prospectus or prospectus supplement failing to meet the requirement of Sections 5(b) or 10 of the Securities Act; (x) the issuance of the Purchase Notice Shares shall not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Principal Market; (xi) the Company’s common Stock must be DWAC Eligible and not subject to a “DTC chill”; (xii) all reports, schedules, registrations, forms, statements, information and other documents required to have been filed by us with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934 shall have been filed with the SEC within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings; (xiii) the Exchange Cap has not been reached; (xiv) the irrevocable transfer agent instructions shall have been delivered by the Company to, and acknowledged in writing by, the transfer agent of the Company; and (xv) certain other conditions as set forth in the Equity Line Agreement.
In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of the Equity Line Agreement, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue common stock equal to $1,000,000 divided by the closing price of the Company’s Common stock on the earlier of (i) the Business Day prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and (ii) the Business Day prior to the date that the Investor delivers a written request to the Company for the Commitment Shares (provided that such request cannot be within 180 days following the Closing). For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Commitment Shares shall only be fully earned upon a successful Closing with VCI Target Company and the issuance of the Commitment Shares is contingent upon the Closing with VCI Target Company.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception), through June 30, 2025, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, and, after IPO, related to identifying a target company and executing a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had net loss of $ $120,079, which consisted of operating costs of $113,843, franchise tax of $26,200, income tax provision of $2,547 and change in warrant liability of $(12,750), partially offset by interest income on investments held in the trust account of $ 35,261. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had had net loss of $154,867, which consisted of operating costs of $270,890, income tax provision of $27,686 and change in warrant liability of $(4,782), offset by interest income on investments held in the trust account of $148,491.
41
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August 2, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Public Share”), one right (“Public Right”) and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-twentieth of one share of common stock at the closing of our initial business combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase three-fourths of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Prior Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 714,400 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit ($7,144,000 in the aggregate). Each Private Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Private Share”), one right (“Private Right”) and one warrant (“Private Warrant”). Each Private Right entitles the holder to receive one-twentieth of one share of common stock at the closing of our initial business combination. Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase three-fourths of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share.
The proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the trust account. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Units and all underlying securities will be worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the rights and warrants included in the Private Units.
On August 6, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, we consummated the sale of an additional 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $30,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional 82,500 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, in a private placement to our Prior Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $825,000.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, including the funds held in the trust account, in connection with our initial business combination and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriters in an amount equal to 3.5% ($8,050,000) of the total gross proceeds raised in the Initial Public Offering upon consummation of our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to affect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $161,374 and a working capital deficit of $6,945,315. Accumulated deficit balances were $14,985,167 and $14,852,574 as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
42
Management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs or to complete a Business Combination by September 2, 2025 (or January 2, 2028, if it fully exercises its option to extend the date to consummate a business combination), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to IMAQ to pay income and other tax obligations owed by IMAQ, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of IMAQ’s remaining stockholders and their board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to IMAQ’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, if a Business Combination not occur, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after September 2, 2024 (or January 2, 2025, if it exercises its option to extend the date to consummate a business combination). Management plans to continue to draw down the funds on its promissory notes, repayable promptly on demand and, in any event, no later than the date on which the Company terminates or consummates an initial business combination. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a business combination will be successful.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Amended Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non- financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Units and any units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans or extension loans (and any securities underlying the Private Units or units issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans or extension loans)) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
Pursuant to the underwriting agreement entered into on July 28, 2021, the underwriters in the IPO are entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and over-allotment, or $8,050,000. The deferred fee will be payable to the underwriters solely in the event that we complete a business combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On November 13, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Chardan, whereby Chardan agreed to receive, either in cash or in a number of shares of common stock of the post-Business Combination company at the Company’s discretion in accordance with the agreement and term sheet signed on November 13, 2023, as full and final satisfaction of all and any underwriting fees owed to Chardan by the Company. The payment will be made concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination.

Under the terms of the Equity Line Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to require the Investor to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock up to $300,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, with an option for the Company to increase this amount to $500,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”), subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Line Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified critical accounting estimates; we have identified the following critical accounting policies:
53
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As the Public Shares are considered to be redeemable at fair value, and a redemption at fair value does not amount to a distribution different than other stockholders, redeemable and non-redeemable common stock are presented as one class of stock in calculating net loss per share. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,847,675 shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.
Warrant Liability
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent annual period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the remaining Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within our control require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all redeemable Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.
We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of March 31, 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 mostly requires, on an annual basis, disclosure of specific categories in an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The incremental disclosures may be presented on a prospective or retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2023-09 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2025, due to the previously reported material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments and stock-based compensation. We also have a material weakness in our internal control surrounding the review of accounts payable and accrued expenses to ensure expense recognition in the proper period. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
56
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims incidental to the conduct of our business and other contingencies from time to time. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, in addition to the risk factors disclosed in our prospectus filed with the SEC on July 29, 2021, the Company had identified additional risk factors as disclosed in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. There has been no material change in the Risk Factors as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Any of those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
