NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Nexscient, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 14, 2023. The Company is developing a subscription-based, condition monitoring solution for maintaining and protecting industrial equipment. The Company’s objective is to exploit Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and Cloud-computing technologies to offer a continuous, remote machine health monitoring service that provides actionable insights to manufacturers and continuous process facilities seeking an effective yet affordable predictive maintenance solution to help reduce equipment failures, avoid unscheduled downtimes, decrease equipment maintenance costs, and improve overall equipment efficiencies. The Company’s head office is at 2029 Century Park East, Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90067.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, within the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented and of the financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to the three-month period is unaudited. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2024, substantially all of the Company’s cash was held by major financial institutions located in the United States, which management believes are of high credit quality.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less on the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents carrying value approximate fair value and consist primarily of bank deposits and money market funds.
| F-5 |
| Table of Contents |
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating and financing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are included on the balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the commencement date, in determining the present value of future lease payments. Right-of-use assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred.
Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, consisting of interest accrued on the lease liability and depreciation of the right-of-use asset. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, current receivables and payables. These financial instruments are measured at their respective fair values. The three levels are defined as follows:
| · | Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
For cash, accounts payable, and due to related parties, it is management’s opinion that the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available.
Research and Development
Research and development costs include costs to develop and refine technological processes used to carry out business operations. Research and development costs charged to expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. If applicable, diluted earnings (loss) per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings (loss) per share. The Company had no dilutive securities for the period ended September 30, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company has generated no revenues since inception and incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors, private placement of common stock, and/or a registered offering of its common stock.

Contingencies
The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome, if any, arising out of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 14, 2023. We intend to offer a continuous, remote condition-based monitoring solution for manufacturers and continuous production facilities seeking to implement a Predictive Maintenance (PdM) program. Our platform leverages the latest IIoT technology with edge processing, machine-learning/AI algorithms, and Cloud computing infrastructure to collect, diagnose and transmit critical information about machine health and performance. Unlike other condition-monitoring programs on the market today, we take a unique approach by offering a remote, continuous monitoring solution that is autonomous and machine agnostic with no equipment purchase requirement. Designed as a scalable, stand-alone solution, our solution does not depend on integration with any control or IT system for its data source. Our design uses a mesh network of data collection nodes that are externally mounted to the outer casing of the equipment being monitored and data is collected via three on-board sensors, including acoustic, vibration and temperature. Compatible with virtually all rotating machinery, regardless of age, make, model or condition, the nodes collect and securely transmit pertinent data from the on-board sensors via a secure gateway to our Cloud-based analytics platform for processing and diagnosis.
Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
The Company, which was incorporated on March 14, 2023 and has a June 30 fiscal year-end, has limited comparable history.
Revenues
We are in our development stage and have not generated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred operating expenses of $127,630. Of the total, $69,864 was attributed to research and development activities related to the Company’s SaaS platform, while the balance of these expenses incurred was related to general and administrative expenses, which include legal and accounting, travel and lodging, and consulting fees. When compared to operating expenses of $243,118 incurred during the same period last year, for the period ended September 30, 2023, we note a decrease of 48% due to a reduction of expenses related stock-based compensation.
Net Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $127,630, compared to $243,118 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of changes to operating expenses described above, while not generating any revenues in either period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has $151,445 cash on hand, an accumulated net loss of $1,158,988, and no revenue to cover its operating costs. Our burn rate is approximately $27,500 per month. Presently, our operations are being funded by funds previously raised and we believe our currently available capital resources are sufficient to sustain our operations for a minimum of four (4) months. The Company intends to fund future operations through its registered offering of common stock and other public offerings or private financing arrangements. The ability of the Company to realize its business plan is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

| Table of Contents |
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the cash flows used in the Company’s operating activities was $104,359, primarily used to fund development costs and general and administrative expenses. For the same three-month period ended September 30, 2023, the cash flows used in operating activities totaled $113,129, representing a 8% decrease compared to the same period last year.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any cash transactions from investing activities.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the net cash provided by financing activities by the Company was $180,000, as a result of proceeds received from the issuance of convertible debentures. During the same period last year, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided from financing activities total $346,798, which was related to proceeds received from the sale of our common stock.
Contractual Obligations
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares and debt proceeds in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Expected Purchase or Sale of Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment, as such items are not required by us at this time or in the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
In connection with the review of the financial statements of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with dbbmckennon’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
In connection with the financial statements of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2024, there have been no reportable events with the Company as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718-10”). The Company measures all equity-based awards granted to employees, independent contractors and advisors based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.
The Company classifies equity-based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll or contractor costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded as of September 30, 2024, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting discussed immediately below.
Identified Material Weakness
A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, which are primarily due to the size of the Company and available resources:
Personnel: There are limited personnel to assist with the accounting and financial reporting function, which results in: (i) a lack of segregation of duties and (ii) controls that may not be adequately designed or operating effectively. Despite the existence of material weaknesses, the Company believes the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial position and operating results of the three months ended September 30, 2024, in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to seek qualified accounting staff to expand its internal accounting and reporting functions.

Audit Committee: We do not yet have an audit committee, and we lack a financial expert. Over the next few months, the Board expects to appoint an Audit Committee and to identify a committee Chairman who is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and as adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, which were identified in connection with our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor’s attestation report. The Company’s registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management’s reports on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
