PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General Background of the Company
Public Company Management Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the name of MyOffiz, Inc. on October 26, 2000, under the laws of the State of Nevada. On November 6, 2004, the Company changed its name from MyOffiz, Inc. to Public Company Management Corporation.
The Company was a management consulting firm that educated and assisted small businesses to improve their management, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and other business processes, with a focus on capital market participation. The Company did intend to provide solutions to clients at various stages of the business lifecycle by:
| · | Educational products to improve business processes or explore entering the capital markets; |
| · | Startup consulting to early-stage companies planning for growth; |
| · | Management consulting to companies seeking to enter the capital markets via self-underwriting or direct public offering or to move from one capital market to another; and |
| · | Compliance services to fully reporting, publicly traded companies. |
The Company generated revenues primarily from consulting services that we provided to private company clients seeking to become fully reporting, publicly traded companies. The Company also generated revenue from regulatory compliance services that the Company was providing to public company clients that are required to file periodic and other reports with the SEC. The Company would be paid for these services for a flat fee consisting of cash and restricted shares of the Company’s clients common stock.
The Company provided its services primarily through GoPublicToday.com, Inc., Pubco WhitePapers, Inc., Public Company Management Services, Inc. and Nevada Management Corporation, Inc., subsidiaries of the Company.
Predicated upon the economic recession of 2008, commencing with the subprime mortgage crisis and bank crisis, the stock market plummeted, erasing wealth, i.e., foreclosures continued to rise, and this housing bust caused the stock market to dive and eventually crash in September 2008, ultimately losing more than half its value. At that time and prior, the Company faced competition from a large number of consulting firms, investment banks, venture capitalists, merchant banks, financial advisors and other similar management consulting and regulatory compliance services firms. With the lack of companies to raise funds in the marketplace and the intense competition in every aspect of the Company’s business, and particularly from other firms which offer management, compliance, and other consulting services to private and public companies, we were unable to operate profitably.
As of October 1, 2012, and thereafter, the Company can be defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Company currently intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues in exchange for its securities. On August 16, 2024, the Company had entered a non-binding letter of intent with DACTA SG Pte. Ltd., a Singapore corporation (“Dacta”). The letter of intent had contemplated that the Company would enter into a business combination with the stakeholders or equity holders in Dacta with a change of control and served as an outline of the proposed principal terms and conditions regarding the transaction. The letter of intent was subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and contemplated that each party would conduct a business, financial, and legal due diligence investigation of the other, each to their satisfaction. As of the date hereof, among other pending and unsatisfied due diligence, the Company has not satisfied itself that the financial statements and schedules of Dacta comply with the financial reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Other than this letter of intent, the Company has no acquisitions in mind and has not entered into any negotiations regarding an acquisition. The Company's officer and director has not engaged in any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the Company and such other company as of the date hereof. The majority shareholder has had preliminary negotiations that may or would result in a change in control.

General Overview
Covid-19.
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected, and other events (such as a significant outbreak of variations thereof or other infectious diseases could adversely affect), the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate an initial business combination could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete an initial business combination if concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our search for an initial business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including added information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.
If there are any disruptions posed by COVID-19, our ability to consummate an initial business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate an initial business combination, may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on our ability to raise additional equity and debt financing which may be impacted by COVID-19 and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Further, any disruptions have negatively affected the stock market and investor sentiment. The perceived value of the Company and the price of our common stock may be affected as investors favor and seek less volatile or traditional companies (or assume more risk) during the times of market uncertainty and instability. It is currently difficult to estimate with any certainty how long the pandemic and the effect on the economy will continue and its effect on the ability of the Company to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition or business combination with a private entity.
Russia Ukraine Conflict.
The extent to which the Russia Ukraine conflict impacts our search for an initial business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted and may include but are not limited to the potential effect of bans, sanction programs, additional licensing requirements, and/or boycotts as they may have an effect on the merger or acquisition or business combination with a private entity. The degree of uncertainty surrounding an existing or escalating conflict is uncertain and cannot be predicted, including added information which may emerge concerning the conflict and its impact. We have no basis to evaluate the possible risks of the Russia Ukraine conflict.
Israel Hamas Conflict.
The extent to which the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian may impact our search for an initial business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted and may include but are not limited the potential effect of bans, sanction programs, additional licensing requirements, and/or boycotts as they may have an effect on the merger or acquisition or business combination with a private entity.
Syria Unrest.
The extent of the ongoing unrest in Syria, marked by the recent collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime and the subsequent power struggles, has created a highly volatile environment and may impact our search for an initial business combination. Syria grapples with the aftermath of conflict and the need for extensive reconstruction. International sanctions, the loss of key economic sectors like oil and agriculture, and the displacement of millions of people may further complicate the economic recovery and creates uncertainty that may have an effect on the merger or acquisition or business combination with a private entity.
| 5 |
Climate-Related Issues.
The extent to which the Company may be required to make certain climate-related disclosures in connection with the business of any potential target business is unknown; however, the Company may be required to provide information about climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the target business, its results of operations, or financial condition, and may be required to provide certain climate-related financial statement metrics in a note to the audited financial statements. We have no basis to evaluate the climate and climate related risks. The degree of uncertainty and impact cannot be predicted.
Cybersecurity Issues.
The extent to which the Company may be required to make certain cybersecurity related disclosures in connection with the business of any potential target business is unknown; however, the target business may have products, services and systems used, including customer or third-party operations, or involve the storage, processing and transmission of sensitive data, including valuable intellectual property, other proprietary or confidential data, regulated data, and personal information of employees, customers and others. These risks are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the target business, its results of operations, or financial condition, and may be required to provide certain cybersecurity related financial statement metrics in a note to the audited financial statements. We have no basis to evaluate the cybersecurity risks. The degree of uncertainty and impact cannot be predicted.
Company is a Shell Company with Penny Stock.
At present, the Company is a development stage company with no revenues, nominal assets and no specific business plan or purpose. The Company’s business plan is to seek new business opportunities or to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company. As a result, the Company is a shell company. Rule 405 and 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a shell company as an issuer that that has no or nominal operations and either (i) no or nominal assets, (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
The Company’s common stock is a “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as the common stock of the Company is subject to the penny stock rules, it may be more difficult to sell the Company’s common stock.
A shell issuer may also be a blank check company or a blind pool company, a company in the developmental stage, any company that has no specific business plan or purpose, or a company that has as its business plan to merge with or acquire an unidentified third property. Accordingly, the Company may be required, under current and proposed new rules and amendments of the SEC, to provide enhanced disclosures for investor protection in the event that we engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company substantially similar to those required in registration statements for an initial public offering.
Effect of Amended Rule 15c2-11 on the Company’s securities.
The SEC released and published a Final Rulemaking on Publication or Submission of Quotations without Specified Information amending Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act ("Rule 15c2-11,” the "Amended Rule 15c2-11"). To be eligible for public quotations on an ongoing basis, Amended Rule 15c2-11's modified the "piggyback exemption" that required that (i) the specified current information about the company is publicly available, and (ii) the security is subject to a one-sided (i.e., a bid or offer) priced quotation, with no more than four business days in succession without a quotation. Under Amended Rule 15c2-11, shell companies like the Company (and formerly suspended securities) may only rely on the piggyback exemption in certain limited circumstances. The Amended Rule 15c2-11 requires, among other requirements, that a broker-dealer has a reasonable basis for believing that information about the issuer of securities is accurate. The Amended Rule 15c2-11 has effected shell issuers and SPACs. Our security holders may find it more difficult to deposit common stock with a broker-dealer, and if deposited, it may be more difficult to trade the securities on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. Pink Open Market Platform (“Pink Sheets”). On March 28, 2023, broker-dealers may no longer be able to publish proprietary quotes in the shell issuer. The security may, however, be the subject of unsolicited customer quotations. The Company intends to provide the specified current information under the Exchange Act, but there is no assurance that a broker-dealer will accept our common stock or if accepted, that the broker-dealer will rely on our disclosure of the specified current information.

Unavailability of Rule 144 for Resale.
Rule 144(i) “Unavailability to Securities of Issuers With No or Nominal Operations and No or Nominal Non-Cash Assets” provides that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by an issuer that is a shell company. We have identified our company as a shell company and, therefore, the holders of our securities may not rely on Rule 144 to have the restriction removed from their securities without registration or until the Company is no longer identified as a shell company and has filed all requisite periodic reports under the Exchange Act for the period of twelve (12) months.
As a result of our classification as a shell company, our investors are not allowed to rely on the “safe harbor” provisions of Rule 144, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), so as not to be considered underwriters in connection with the sale of our securities until one year from the date that we cease to be a shell company. This will likely make it more difficult for us to attract additional capital through subsequent unregistered offerings because purchasers of securities in such unregistered offerings will not be able to resell their securities in reliance on Rule 144, a safe harbor on which holders of restricted securities usually rely to resell securities.
Business Objectives of the Company
From October 1, 2012 until September 30, 2020, the Company had no or limited business operations. Since October 1, 2020, current management (which includes participation by our majority shareholder) has determined to direct its efforts and limited resources to pursue potential new business opportunities. The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an issuer who has complied with the Exchange Act. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature and we have not established any particular criteria upon which we consider a business opportunity. This discussion of the proposed business herein is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources.
Effecting a Business Combination
Prospective investors in the Company’s common stock will not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any of the one or more business combinations that we may undertake. A business combination may involve the acquisition of or merger with a company which needs to raise substantial additional capital by means of being a publicly trading company, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense, voting control issues and compliance with various Federal and State securities laws.
Management (which may also include the majority shareholder of the Company) would have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective new business opportunity. The Company is dependent on the judgment of its management in connection with this process. There are many criteria that management may deem relevant. In connection with an evaluation of a prospective or potential business opportunity, management may be expected to conduct a due diligence review. A business combination may involve a company which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.
The time and costs required to pursue new business opportunities, which includes negotiating and documenting relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws, cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Further, management intends to devote such time as we deem necessary to carry out the Company’s affairs. The exact length of time required for the pursuit of any new potential business opportunities is uncertain. No assurance can be made that we will be successful in our efforts.

The Company intends to conduct its activities so as to avoid being classified as an “Investment Company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Effect of Amended Rule 15c2-11 on the Company’s securities.
The SEC released and published a Final Rulemaking on Publication or Submission of Quotations without Specified Information amending Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act ("Rule 15c2-11,” the "Amended Rule 15c2-11"). To be eligible for public quotations on an ongoing basis, Amended Rule 15c2-11's modified the "piggyback exemption" that required that (i) the specified current information about the company is publicly available, and (ii) the security is subject to a one-sided (i.e. a bid or offer) priced quotation, with no more than four business days in succession without a quotation. Under Amended Rule 15c2-11, shell companies like the Company (and formerly suspended securities) may only rely on the piggyback exemption in certain limited circumstances. The Amended Rule 15c2-11 will require, among other requirements, that a broker-dealer has a reasonable basis for believing that information about the issuer of securities is accurate. Our security holders may find it more difficult to deposit common stock with a broker-dealer, and if deposited, more difficult to trade the securities on the Pink Sheets. The Company intends to provide the specified current information under the Exchange Act but there is no assurance that a broker-dealer will accept our common stock or if accepted, that the broker-dealer will rely on our disclosure of the specified current information.
Unavailability of Rule 144 for Resale.
Rule 144(i) “Unavailability to Securities of Issuers With No or Nominal Operations and No or Nominal Non-Cash Assets” provides that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by an issuer that is a shell company. We have identified our company as a shell company and, therefore, the holders of our securities may not rely on Rule 144 to have the restriction removed from their securities without registration or until the Company is no longer identified as a shell company and has filed all requisite periodic reports under the Exchange Act for the period of twelve (12) months.

Very Limited Liquidity of our Common Stock.
Our common stock occasionally trades and there is a very limited active market in our common stock. As a result, there is only limited liquidity in our common stock.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, the market in which we operate, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “goals,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or assess. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements.
Any investment in our shares of common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report before you decide to invest in our common stock. Each of the following risks may materially and adversely affect our business objective, plan of operation and financial condition. These risks may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, which may cause you to lose all or a part of the money you invested in our common stock. We provide the following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties, and possible assumptions relevant to our business plan. In addition to other information included in this Annual Report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating the Company’s business and future prospects.
Risks Related to the Company
The Company has not identified a target business.
The Company’s effort in identifying a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry and the Company may acquire a business in any industry management deems appropriate. To date, the Company has only selected one target business on which to concentrate our search for a business combination. While the Company intends to focus on target businesses in the United States, we are not limited to U.S. entities and may consummate a business combination with a target business outside of the United States. Accordingly, there is no basis for investors in the Company’s common stock to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business or the particular industry in which we may operate.
To the extent we effect a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that we effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by an elevated level of risk, we may be affected by the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes many industries which experience rapid growth. In addition, although the Company’s management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
Sources of target businesses.
Management anticipates that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers, and other members of the financial community, who may present solicited or unsolicited proposals. Our management may also bring to our attention target business candidates. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee or other compensation in connection with a business combination. In no event, however, will we pay management any finder’s fee or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination.
| 9 |
Selection of a target business and structuring of a business combination.
Repository Services LLC owns 70.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and will have broad flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. In evaluating a prospective target business, our management will consider, among other factors, the following:
| ● | financial condition and results of operation of the target company; |
| ● | growth potential; |
| ● | experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel; |
| ● | capital requirements; |
| ● | competitive position; |
| ● | stage of development of the products, processes, or services; |
| ● | degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes, or services; |
| ● | proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the products, processes, or services; |
| ● | regulatory environment of the industry; and |
| ● | costs associated with effecting the business combination. |
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our management in effecting a business combination consistent with our business objective. In evaluating a prospective target business, we will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which will be made available to us.
We will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to us, the target business and both companies’ stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state tax authorities will necessarily agree with the tax treatment of any business combination we consummate.
The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete the business combination cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not completed will result in a loss to us.
Probable lack of business diversification.
While we may seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, it is more probable that we will only have the ability to effect a single business combination, if at all. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations with entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is probable that we will lack the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive, and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business combination, and result in our dependency upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes, or services.
Limited ability to evaluate the target business’ management.
We cannot assure you that our assessment of the target business’ management will prove to be correct. In addition, we cannot assure you that the future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications, or abilities to manage a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. Furthermore, the future role of our director, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty.
| 10 |
While it is possible that our director will remain associated in some capacity with us following a business combination, it is unlikely that she will devote her full efforts to our affairs subsequent to a business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our director will have experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
Following a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge, or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were prepared using the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. Our independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our operations are dependent on our ability to raise sufficient capital or complete business combination as a result of which we become profitable. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There is not enough cash on hand to fund our administrative expenses and operating expenses for the next twelve months. Therefore, we may be unable to continue operations in the future as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company’s shares of common stock.
Competition.
In identifying, evaluating, and selecting a target business, we expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations, either directly or through affiliates. Many if not virtually most of these competitors possess far greater financial, human, and other resources compared to our resources. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we may identify, our ability to compete in acquiring certain of the more desirable target businesses will be limited by our limited financial and human resources. Our inherent competitive limitations are expected by management to give others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business that we may identify and seek to pursue. Further, any of these limitations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our status as a reporting public entity with potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over certain privately held entities having a similar business objective in acquiring a desirable target business with growth potential on favorable terms.
If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from existing competitors of the business we acquire. In particular, certain industries which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly larger number of competitors, including those with far greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry in which we seek to operate. The degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective target business cannot presently be ascertained. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources to compete effectively, especially to the extent that the target business is in a high-growth industry.
Employee.
Quynh Hoa T. Tran, our Chief Executive Officer, is our sole executive officer. Quynh Hoa T. Tran is not obligated to devote any specific number of hours per week and, in fact, intends to devote only as much time as she deems necessary to administer the Company’s affairs until such time as a business combination is consummated. The amount of time she will devote in any time period will vary based on the availability of suitable target businesses to investigate. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of the business combination.

Conflicts of Interest.
Repository Services LLC has no fiduciary duties or contractual obligations, other than to its members and as a majority shareholder in the Company, to any third-party entities. Quynh Hoa T. Tran’s business activities do not create any fiduciary duties to any third parties, and she has no contractual obligation that may be deemed to be or give rise to a conflict of interest. To avoid future conflict of interests, management and the related third-party entites have determined that they will not be associated or be affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those which Quynh Hoa T. Tran is active. Future business activities of the Company’s management, which may include business activities similar to those of a potential business combination, may result in potential or perceived conflicts of interest.
Specialty Capital Lenders LLC (and its managers and members) is not required to commit its full-time efforts to the Company’s affairs; accordingly, they will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among their various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence. As a result, pursuing new business opportunities may require a longer period of time than if management would devote full time to the Company’s affairs. Management has not identified and is not currently negotiating a new business opportunity for us.
In the event that more than one business opportunity is presented to the Company, management may have differences of opinion in determining which particular business opportunity should be first presented or considered. In the event that the Company’s management has future business affiliations (coupled with a fiduciary duty to the business affiliation), management may have legal obligations to present certain business opportunities to multiple entities. In the event that a conflict of interest shall arise, management will consider factors such as reporting status, availability of audited financial statements, current capitalization, and the laws of jurisdiction.
The personal and financial interests of management may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, management’s discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in the best interest of our shareholders. If this were the case, it would be a breach of their fiduciary duties to us, and we might have a claim against the participating member of management. However, we might not ultimately be successful in any claim we may make against them for such reasons.
Company's management intends to be proactive in identifying and eliminating any conflicts of interest. However, the Company believes its management will act in what we believe will be in the best interests of the shareholders. The Company will not enter into a transaction with a target business that is affiliated with management or where there is an actual conflict of interest.
The Company has a limited operating history and limited resources.
The Company’s operations have been limited to seeking a potential business combination and has had no revenues from operations. Investors will have no basis upon which to evaluate the Company’s ability to achieve the Company’s business objective, which is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange and/or acquire an operating business. The Company will not generate any revenues until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination or acquiring an operating business.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $58,766 in cash and an accumulated deficit of $5,550,843. Our audited financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were prepared using the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. Our independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our operations are dependent on our ability to raise sufficient capital or complete business combination as a result of which we become profitable. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
There may not be enough cash on hand to fund our administrative expenses and operating expenses for the next twelve months. Therefore, we may be unable to continue operations in the future as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company’s shares of common stock.
| 12 |
Since the Company has not yet selected a target business with which to complete a business combination, the Company is unable to ascertain the merits or risks associated with any particular business or even the broader target industry.
Since the Company has not yet identified a particular industry or prospective target business, there is no basis for investors to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business which the Company may acquire. If the Company completes a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its development stage, the Company may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the operations of those entities. Although the Company’s management intends to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, the Company cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. There can be no assurance that any prospective business combination will benefit shareholders or prove to be more favorable to shareholders than any other investment that may be made by shareholders and investors.
Unspecified and unascertainable risks.
There is no basis for shareholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of a potential business combination. To the extent that the Company effects a business combination with a financially unstable operating company or an entity that is in its early stage of development or growth, the Company will become subject to numerous risks. If the Company effects a business combination with an entity in a high-risk industry, the Company will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. Although management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular business or industry, there can be no assurance that management will properly ascertain or assess all such risks that the Company perceived at the time of the consummation of a business combination.
It is likely that the Company’s current sole officer and director will resign upon consummation of a business combination and the Company will have only limited ability to evaluate the management of the target business.
The Company’s ability to successfully effect a business combination will be dependent upon the efforts of the Company’s management. The future role of management in the target business cannot presently be ascertained. Although it is possible that management may remain associated with the target business following a business combination, it is likely that the management of the target business will remain in place. Although the Company intends to closely scrutinize the management of a target business in connection with evaluating the desirability of effecting a business combination, the Company cannot assure you that the Company’s assessment of management will prove to be correct.
Dependence on key personnel.
The Company is dependent upon the continued services of management. To the extent that her services become unavailable, the Company will be required to obtain other qualified personnel and there can be no assurance that we will be able to recruit qualified persons upon acceptable terms.
The Company’s sole officer and director may allocate her time to other businesses activities, thereby causing conflicts of interest as to how much time to devote to the Company’s affairs. This could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to consummate a business combination in a timely manner, if at all.
The Company’s officer and director is not required to commit her full time to the Company’s affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating her time between the Company’s business and other businesses. The Company does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. Management of the Company is engaged in other business endeavors and is not obligated to contribute any specific number of her hours per week to the Company’s affairs.
If Quynh Hoa T. Tran’s other business affairs require her to devote more time to such affairs, it could limit her ability to devote time to the Company’s affairs and could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to consummate a timely business combination. The Company does not believe that her other business affairs interfere with her duties as an officer and director, but remotely could disturb her immediate performance of assumed duties, if any. Furthermore, we do not have an employment agreement with Quynh Hoa T. Tran.
| 13 |
The Company may be unable to obtain additional financing, if and when required, to complete a business combination or to fund the operations and growth of the business combination target, which could compel the Company to restructure a potential business combination transaction or to entirely abandon a particular business combination.
If we require funds for a particular business combination, because of the size of the business combination or otherwise, we may be required to seek additional financing, which may or may not be available a terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when and if needed to consummate a particular business combination, we would be compelled to restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. In addition, if we consummate a business combination, we may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. The Company’s officer, director or stockholders are not required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after a business combination.
It is probable that the Company will only be able to enter into one business combination, which will cause us to be solely dependent on such a single business and a limited number of products or services.
It is probable that the Company will enter into a business combination with a single operating business. Accordingly, the prospects for the Company’s success may be solely dependent upon the performance of a single operating business, or dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products or services. If this occurs, the Company will not be able to diversify the Company’s operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry.
The Company has limited resources and there is significant competition for business combination opportunities. Therefore, the Company may not be able to enter into or consummate an attractive business combination.
The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to the Company’s, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human, and other resources than the Company does, and the Company’s financial resources are limited when contrasted with those of many of its competitors. While the Company believes that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire, the Company’s ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by the Company’s limited financial resources and the fact that the Company will use its common stock to acquire an operating business. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses.
| 14 |
Our present management most likely will not remain after we complete a business combination.
A business combination involving the issuance of our common stock will, in all likelihood, result in the shareholders of the target company obtaining a controlling interest in us. Any such business combination may require our management to sell or transfer all or a portion of the Company's common stock held and/or have Quynh Hoa T. Tran resign as a member of the Board of Directors. The resulting change in our control would result in a corresponding reduction in or elimination of any participation in our future affairs.
Financing requirements to fund operations associated with reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
The Company has no revenues and is dependent upon the willingness of the Company’s management to fund the costs associated with the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, other administrative costs associated with the Company’s corporate existence and expenses related to the Company’s business objective. The Company is not likely to generate any revenues until the consummation of a business combination, at the earliest. The Company believes that we will have available sufficient financial resources available from its management to continue to pay accounting and other professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses that may be required until the Company commences business operations following a business combination.
The Company does not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing potential business combination candidates and preparing and filing Exchange Act reports for what may be an unlimited period of time will be paid by our majority shareholder, notwithstanding the fact that there is no written agreement to pay such costs. Repository Services LLC has informally agreed to pay the Company’s expenses in the form of advances that are unsecured, non-interest bearing. Specialty Capital Lenders LLC has agreed to provide financial accommodations to the Company in an amount equal to $20,000, at the prevailing interest rate. As of the date hereof, there has been no advances made by Specialty Capital Lenders LLC under the written agreement entered into on August 3, 2020. The Company intends to repay these advances when we have the cash resources to do so.
Based on Repository Services LLC and Specialty Capital Lenders LLC commitment to fund our operations, we believe that we will be able to continue as a going concern until such time as we conclude a business combination. During the next 12 months, we anticipate incurring costs related to filing of Exchange Act reports, franchise fees, registered agent fees, legal fees, and accounting fees, and investigating, analyzing, and consummating an acquisition or business combination. We estimate that these costs will range from fifteen thousand dollars to twenty-five thousand dollars per year, and that we will be able to meet these costs as necessary through loans/advances Repository Services LLC or Specialty Capital Lenders LLC or until we enter into a business combination.
The Company’s majority shareholder has a 70.30% common stock equity interest in the Company and thus is in a position to totally influence certain actions requiring stockholder vote.
Management has no present intention to call for an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of a business combination. As a result, our current director will continue in office at least until the consummation of the business combination, subject to the desires of the majority shareholder. If there is an annual meeting of stockholders for any reason, the Company’s management has broad discretion regarding proposals submitted to a vote by shareholders as a consequence of the majority shareholder’s significant equity interest. Accordingly, the Company’s management will continue to exert substantial control at least until the consummation of a business combination.
Broad discretion of management.
Any person who invests in the Company’s common stock will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any prospective business combination. As a result, investors will be entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of management in connection with the selection of a prospective business combination. There can be no assurance that determinations made by the Company’s management will permit us to achieve the Company’s business objectives.
| 15 |
Reporting requirements may delay or preclude a business combination.
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare such statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
The Company will continue to be required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, which annual report must contain the Company’s audited financial statements. As a reporting company under the Exchange Act, following any business combination, we will be required to file a report on Form 8-K, which report contains audited financial statements of the acquired entity. These audited financial statements must be filed with the SEC within five (5) days following the closing of a business combination. While obtaining audited financial statements is typically the responsibility of the acquired company, it is possible that a potential target company may be a non-reporting company with unaudited financial statements. The time and costs that may be incurred by some potential target companies to prepare such audited financial statements may significantly delay or may even preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable business combination. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition because we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
The Investment Company Act of 1940 creates a situation wherein we would be required to register and could be required to incur substantial additional costs and expenses.
Although we will be subject to regulation under the Exchange Act, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940; our present intent is we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event we engage in a business combination that result in us holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to the status of our Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject us to material adverse consequences.
The Company has no “independent director,” so actions taken, and expenses incurred by our officer and director on behalf of the Company will generally not be subject to “independent review.”
Quynh Hoa T. Tran is the Company’s sole director. Although no compensation will be paid to her for services rendered prior to or in connection with a business combination, she may receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by her in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors, which now consists of the one director who may seek reimbursement. Because our director will not be deemed “independent,” we will not have the benefit of an independent director examining the propriety of expenses incurred on our behalf and subject to reimbursement. Although the Company believes that all actions taken by our director on the Company’s behalf will be in the Company’s best interests, the Company cannot assure the investor that this will actually be the case. If actions are taken, or expenses are incurred that are actually not in the Company’s best interests, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and plan of operation and the price of our stock held by the public stockholders.
Our present management most likely will not remain after we complete a business combination.
A business combination involving the issuance of our common stock will, in all likelihood, result in the shareholders of a private company obtaining a controlling interest in us. Any such business combination may require our management to sell or transfer all or a portion of the Company's common stock held and/or have Quynh Hoa T. Tran resign as a member of the Board of Directors. The resulting change in our control would result in a corresponding reduction in or elimination of any participation in our future affairs.
| 16 |
At the time we do any business combination, each shareholder will most likely hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership in the Company.
Our current primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a private concern that, in all likelihood, would result in the Company issuing securities to shareholders of any such private company. The issuance of our previously authorized and unissued common stock would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by our present and prospective shareholders and may result in a change in our control or in our management.
General Economic Risks.
The Company’s current and future business objectives and plan of operation are dependent, in large part, on the state of the general economy and the current Covid 19 pandemic. A continuation of a pandemic or adverse changes in economic conditions may adversely affect the Company’s business objective and plan of operation. These conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control include also but are not limited to regulatory changes.
Additional Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The Company’s shares of common stock are traded from time to time on the OTC Pink Sheet Market.
The Company’s common stock is subject to reporting of quotation on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. Pink Open Market Platform (“Pink Sheets”) under the symbol PCMC. There is currently only a limited trading market in the Company’s shares. nor do we believe that any active trading market has existed for the last 5 years. There can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for our securities. In the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of our shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.
Very Limited Liquidity of our Common Stock.
Broker-dealers provide reports for our common stock to the Pink Sheets and there is a limited market in our common stock. As a result, there is only limited liquidity in our common stock. Any investment in our common stock may result in the inability of an investor to liquidate any investment to cash in a timely or cost-effective manner.
Our common stock is subject to the Penny Stock Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our common stock is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.
The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, is any equity security that has a market price of less than $ 5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $ 5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires that a broker-dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker-dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker-dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person, and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker-dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Generally, broker-dealers may be less willing to execute transactions insecurities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
State blue sky registration; potential limitations on resale of the Company’s common stock.
The holders of the Company’s shares of common stock registered under the Exchange Act and those persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that may develop in the future, should be aware that there may be state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell the Company’s securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Company’s securities to be a limited one.
| 17 |
Rule 144 Risks.
Shareholders who receive the Company’s restricted securities in a business combination (and certain of our existing shareholders)
will not be able to sell our common stock in reliance on Rule 144 without registration until one year after we have completed our initial
business combination and complied with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Rule 144 is a non-exclusive safe harbor from the definition
of “underwriter” in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act that applies to restricted securities. Restricted securities are
securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the Company or from an affiliate of the Company. Control securities are those
held by an affiliate of the Company. An affiliate is a person, such as an executive officer, a director or large shareholder,
in a relationship of control with the issuer.
Accordingly, subsection (i) to Rule 144 prohibits or limits the resale (public) of the Company’s common stock. Under Rule 144(i), one year needs to pass from the date the Company ceased to be a shell company, files reports under the Exchange Act, and has filed the Form 10 type information on a Form 8-K. Further, shareholders holding restricted securities may not be able to rely on Rule 144 to sell their stock until the Company is current on all reports and other materials required to be filed with its filings for one year.
Possible Issuance of Additional Securities.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.001 and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of September 30, 2021, September 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and as of the date hereof, we had 34,276,816 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of the preferred stock, par value $ 0.001 issued or outstanding. We may be expected to issue additional shares in connection with our pursuit of new business opportunities and new business operations. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued, our shareholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests. If we issue shares of common stock and preferred stock, or either, in connection with our intent to pursue new business opportunities, a change in control of the Company may be expected to occur. The issuance of additional shares of common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, in the event that an active trading market commences.
Dividends unlikely.
The Company does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future because we have no revenues or cash resources. The payment of dividends will be contingent upon the Company’s future revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and overall financial conditions. The payment of any future dividends will be within the discretion of the Company’s board of directors as then constituted. It is the Company’s expectation that future management following a business combination will determine to retain any earnings for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Company does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSN AND ANYALYSI OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Management’s Plan of Operation
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. From time to time, we also may provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public.
Overview.
The Company’s current business objective is to seek a business combination with an operating company. We intend to use the Company’s limited personnel and financial resources in connection with such activities. The Company will utilize its capital stock (common and preferred), debt or a combination of capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination. It may be expected that entering into a business combination will involve the issuance of restricted shares of capital stock. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock may significantly reduce the equity interest of our shareholders, will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of capital stock are issued, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officer and director; and may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock.
Similarly, if we issued debt securities, it could result in default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination were insufficient to pay our debt obligations, acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contained covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenants were breached without a waiver or renegotiations of such covenants, our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security was payable on demand, and our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contained covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security was outstanding.
Results of Operations for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
The Company has not generated any revenues or costs of operations during the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Company incurred general and administrative expenses consisting of professional fees, filing fees for reporting requirements and other general and administrative expenses of $65,017 and $25,308 for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributed to compliance costs related to filing of Exchange Act reports, franchise tax fees, transfer agent fees, registered agent fees, legal costs and accounting fees. The Company did not incur any costs or expenses applicable to investigating and analyzing an acquisition or business combination.
Interest expense accrued on the related to the related party note payable of $350,000 was $10,500 for each of the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The net loss for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $75,517 and $35,808 respectively . The loss increase for the year ended September 30, 2024 over September 30, 2023 is attributed to an increase of general and administrative costs as a public reporting issuer.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of September 30, 2024 and as of the date hereof, the Company has no business operations and no cash resources other than that provided by Repository Services LLC. We are dependent upon interim funding to be provided by Repository Services LLC and Specialty Capital Lenders LLC, or either, to pay professional fees and expenses. Repository Services LLC has agreed to provide funding as may be required to pay for accounting fees and other administrative expenses of the Company until the Company enters into a business combination. The Company would be unable to continue as a going concern without interim financing provided by Repository Services LLC and Specialty Capital Lenders LLC. As of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, we had cash of $100,035 and $58,766, respectively.
If we require additional financing, we cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all. The Company depends upon our present cash and financial accommodations to be provided by Repository Services LLC to fulfill its filing obligations under the Exchange Act. At present, the Company has no financial resources to re pay any financial accommodations provided.
The Company does not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations, maintaining the filing of Exchange Act reports, the investigation, analyzing, and consummation of an acquisition for an unlimited period of time will be paid from additional money lent to the Company by Repository Services LLC.
During the next twelve (12) months, we anticipate incurring costs related to filing of Exchange Act reports, franchise tax fees, transfer agent fees, registered agent fees, legal fees, accounting fees, and investigating, analyzing, and consummating an acquisition or business combination. We estimate that these costs will be in the range of fifteen thousand dollars to twenty-five thousand dollars or more per year, and that we will be able to meet these costs as necessary, all to be provided by financial accommodations evidenced by an account payable to a promissory note payable by us to Repository Services LLC and Specialty Capital Lenders LLC, or either.
On September 30, 2024 we had $100,035 in current assets and $672,379 in current liabilities. As of September 30, 2023, we had $58,766 in current assets and $555,593 in current liabilities.
We had a negative cash flow from operations of $58,731 during the year ended September 30, 2024 and a negative cash flow of $20,682 from operations during the year ended September 30, 2023. We financed our negative cash flow from operations during the twelve months ended September 30, 2024 through advances made by Repository Services LLC and increases in accounts payable and other liabilities.
We had negative cash flow from operations during the year ended September 30, 2023. We financed this negative cash flow from operations through advances made by Repository Services LLC prior to September 30, 2023 and from increases in accounts payable. We have a short-term payable from an investor of $75,000 to be used for any negative cash flow from operations.
The Company currently plans to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months through its cash on hand and borrowings from Repository Services LLC or Specialty Capital Lenders LLC or companies or individuals affiliated with either and believes it can satisfy its cash requirements so long as we are able to obtain financing from these parties. The Company expects that the money borrowed will be used during the next 12 months to satisfy the Company’s operating costs, professional fees and for general corporate purposes.
The Company has only limited capital. Additional financing is necessary for the Company to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors have issued an unqualified audit opinion for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 with an explanatory paragraph on going concern.
| 22 |
As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments.
As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and as of the date hereof, we did not have any contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies.
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and are included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Public Company Management Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Public Company Management Corporation (the Company) as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit, has generated net losses since its inception and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PUBLIC COMPANY MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Public Company Management Corporation ("Company”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on October 26, 2000. On October 1, 2004, MyOffiz, Inc. ("MyOffiz") entered into an Exchange Agreement with the certain controlling shareholders of GoPublicToday.com, Inc., Pubco WhitePapers, Inc., and Public Company Management Services, Inc. The Company was the holding company for, and conducted its operations through, its subsidiary companies. The term "we" and "our" refers to the Company and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement,
MyOffiz acquired approximately
The Company was a management consulting firm that educated and assisted small businesses to improve their management, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and other business processes, with a focus on capital market participation. The Company offered the following services to its clients at various stages of the business lifecycle:
| · | Educational products to improve business processes or explore entering the capital markets; |
| · | Startup consulting to early-stage companies planning for growth; |
| · | Management consulting to companies seeking to enter the capital markets via self-underwriting or direct public offering or to move from one capital market to another; and |
| · | Compliance services to fully reporting, publicly traded companies. |
The Company generated revenues primarily from consulting services that it provided to private company clients seeking to become fully reporting, publicly traded companies. The Company also generated revenue from regulatory compliance services that the Company was providing to public company clients that are required to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company would be paid a flat fee for these services, which generally consisted of cash and restricted shares of the Company’s clients’ common stock.
Predicated upon the economic recession of 2008, commencing with the subprime mortgage crisis and bank crisis, a significant increase in housing foreclosures ultimately caused the stock market to crash in September 2008. At that time, and prior, the Company faced competition from a large number of consulting firms, investment banks, venture capitalists, merchant banks, financial advisors, and other similar management consulting and regulatory compliance services firms. Due to (i) the inability to raise funds in the marketplace and (ii) the intense competition in every aspect of the Company’s business, the Company was unable to operate profitably.
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying financial statements include the financial information of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to financial reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements contained in this report include all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods reported herein.
| 29 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily used in our revenue recognition, long-lived asset impairments and adjustments, deferred tax, stock-based compensation, and reserves for legal matters.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
PCMC considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 requiring equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
Revenue Recognition
The core principles of revenue recognition under ASC 606 include the following five criteria:
| 1. | Identify the contract with the customer |
Contract with our customers may be oral, written, or implied. A written and signed invoice stating the terms and conditions is the Company’ preferred method. The terms of a written contract may be contained within the body of an invoice or in an email. No work is commenced without an understanding between the Company and our client that a valid contract exists.
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
Our sales and account management teams define the scope of services to be offered, to ensure all parties are in agreement and obligations are being delivered to the customer as promised. The performance obligation may not be fully identified in a mutually signed contract, but may be outlined in email correspondence, face-to-face meetings, additional proposals or scopes of work, or phone conversations.
| 3. | Determine the transaction price |
Pricing is discussed and identified by the operations team prior to submitting an invoice to the customer.
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
If a contract involves multiple obligations, the transaction pricing is allocated accordingly, during the performance obligation phase.
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation |
The Company uses digital marketing that includes digital advertising, SEO management and digital ad support. We provide whether presenting a vibrant but simple message about our clients that will enlighten their audience or deploying an influential digital marketing campaign on our online site or across one or multiple social media platforms. Revenue is recognized when ads are run on Company’s advertising platform.
The company generates analytical reports monthly or as required to show how the ad dollars were spent and how the targeting resulted in click-through. The report satisfies the performance obligation, regardless of the outcome or effectiveness of the campaign.
Sales are recognized when promised services are started in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Sales for service contracts generally are recognized as the services are being provided.
| 30 |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company establishes an allowance for bad debts
through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and financial
condition of our customers. The Company does not generally require collateral for our accounts receivable. There were
Short Term Payables
The Company received unsecured advances from an investor for working capital. The advances are due on demand.
General and Administrative Expenses
PCMC’s general and administrative expenses consisted of the following types of expenses during 2024 and 2023: Compensation expense, payroll expense, rent, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, utilities, web sites, office expenses, depreciation and other administrative related expenses.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of its
long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset
may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected
to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an
impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value
of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined based on either expected future cash flows at a rate we believe incorporates the time
value of money.

When an entity has a net loss, it is prohibited from including potential common shares in the computation of diluted per share amounts. Accordingly, we have utilized basic shares outstanding to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The number of potential anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation shares for the period ended September 30, 2024 is zero .
| 31 |
Income Taxes
The Company follows the guidance related to accounting
for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of
a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit.
For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit
that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers. The Company has no Level 3 Inputs.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Related Party Transactions

Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related party note and

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company follows ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. During 2009, there was a change in control of the Company. Under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code such a change in control negates much of the tax loss carry forward and deferred income tax. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry forwards. For federal income tax purposes, the Company uses the accrual basis of accounting, the same that is used for financial reporting purposes.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND POCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| 34 |
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, management and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024 based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on the results of its evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
Hudgens CPA, PLLC, the Company’s independent public accounting firm conducted the audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that they plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor was the auditing firm engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of the audit, Hudgens CPA, PLLC was required to obtain an understanding of our internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Hudgens CPA, PLLC has expressed no such opinion.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, 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.

Background Information – Quynh Hoa T. Tran
On March 11, 2023, the Company selected Quynh Hoa T. Tran as a director, by written consent of the majority shareholder, and not by the vote of security holders at an annual meeting or special meeting convened for such purpose. Repository Services LLC sought out Ms. Tran as a director of the Company for her specific business acumen as described below and a consideration of her diverse work experience, her social-economic characteristics and her demographic location in the Silicon Valley area of California. Although Ms. Tran is from the Country of Vietnam and now resides in the United States, Repository Services LLC did not specifically consider any self-identified diversity characteristics when selecting her as a director.

In a derivative action, ( i.e., one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be provided only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be provided if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine that the defendant is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
