Rivulet Entertainment, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For The Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
On July 7, 2024 (the “Closing
Date”), Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. (“The Company” or “Rivulet”) completed its acquisition of certain
wholly owned subsidiaries of Rivulet Media, Inc. In consideration for the acquisition of the entities, the Company agreed to
transfer approximately $
The Company produces, distributes and markets feature-length films, television series and mini-series, and television movies, from initial creative development through principal photography, postproduction, distribution and ancillary sales.
The business strategy of Rivulet Entertainment,
Inc. as it relates to films, television series, mini-series, and television movies is to enter into contracts with well-known actors and
actresses, acquire scripts able to attract large audiences that have been overlooked by blockbuster producers, focus on cost control measures,
obtain favorable tax credits and financing opportunities. Unlike many smaller producers, Rivulet is not targeting “artsy”
niche markets but films that appeal to a wide audience. The Company’s business plan as an independent film producer is to fully
leverage all of its guaranteed contracts that it negotiates upfront for a film to be produced. This strategy permits the Company to raise
less equity capital and obtain short-term bridge loans thereby permitting much larger budgets than historically could be obtained by independent
film producers.
The Company intends to grow and diversify its portfolio of content to capitalize on demand from emerging and traditional platforms throughout the world. The Company will attempt to maintain a disciplined approach to acquisition, production, and distribution of product by balancing its financial risks against the probability of commercial success for each project. The Company pursues the same disciplined approach to investments in, and acquisition of, libraries and other assets complementary to the business. The Company believes that its strategic focus on content and creation of innovative content distribution strategies will enhance its competitive position in the industry, ensure optimal use of the Company’s capital, build diversified foundation for future growth, and generate significant long-term value for the Company’s shareholders.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been presented in United States dollars (“$” or “USD”) and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In addition, as a film production company, the Company also complies with the incremental guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 926, Entertainment-Films.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2025, the results of its operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
| 5 |
In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the interim results and trends in the interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year or any future period.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all required information under U.S. GAAP to be considered a complete set of financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate other entities based on the guidance set forth in ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). To that extent, the Company will consolidate entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on the guidance in the ASC topic. For the periods presented, Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. consolidated included the following wholly owned subsidiaries:
| Entity Name | Year of Incorporation | Percentage Ownership | ||
| Nutcracker, LLC | ||||
| Kicklight, LLC | ||||
| Good News, LLC | ||||
| Please Baby Please LLC | ||||
| Mistress Movie, LLC | ||||
| LAC2 Productions, LLC | ||||
| Acolyte Productions, LLC | ||||
| Storyland Productions, LLC | ||||
| Da Vinci, LLC | ||||
| Garden, LLC | ||||
| Storyland Animation, LLC | ||||
| Rivulet Media Ventures, LLC | ||||
| The Dink Productions, LLC |
Going Concern
The Company had cash of $
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for the amounts recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
| 6 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash or cash equivalents.
Film Costs
In accordance with ASC 926, Entertainment-Films, the Company reports production costs incurred as a separate asset on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (“Film costs”). Production costs include all direct negative costs incurred in the physical production of a film, such as compensation of cast and rental facilities on location, as well as allocations of production overhead and capitalized interest (if any). Further, costs incurred related to significant changes to a film are added to production costs and subsequently charged to expense when the Company recognizes the related revenue.
Amortization of Film Costs
As the Company’s films are monetized on their own, the Company amortizes film costs using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. Pursuant to that method, unamortized film costs as of the beginning of the current fiscal year are multiplied by the individual-film-forecast-computation method fraction. To that extent, the Company will begin amortization of capitalized film costs when a film is released, and it begins to recognize revenue from that film. The Company will review and revise its estimate of ultimate revenue as of each reporting date to reflect the most currently available information. Changes to the estimate of ultimate revenue, if any, are accounted for prospectively. Amortization of film costs is presented as production cost amortization on the face of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not recognize any production cost amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.
Impairment of Capitalized Production Costs
The Company will test its unamortized production costs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film may be less than its unamortized costs. If the Company determines that the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized production costs, then the unamortized capitalized costs for the film will be written down by the amount exceeding the film’s fair value. The unit of account for impairment testing is the individual film being produced and the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique.
Recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with the core principle outlined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Specifically, “to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services”. To that extent, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the ASC Topic by applying the following five steps:
| ● | Step 1-Identify the contract(s) with a customer | |
| ● | Step 2-Identify the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Step 3-Determing the transaction price | |
| ● | Step 4-Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Step 5-Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
The Company’s contracts with its customers currently contain a single performance obligation comprised of a license to motion picture rights. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company ( i.e. the “licensor”) has concluded that the license transfer should i) be considered functional intellectual property and ii) that customers (the “licensees” or “distributors”) are therefore granted a right to use the Company’s intellectual property as it exists at the point in time at which the license is granted. As such, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the Company’s delivery of the license to the licensee. The Company does not currently provide any form of extended payment terms to its customers and, as such, a fixed payment is typically received from the customer within 90 days after the license is transferred.
| 7 |
In determining the transaction price, the Company’s contracts with its customers do not include a significant financing component, non-cash consideration or consideration payable to the customer. However, the Company’s contracts typically will include sales-based or usage-based royalties that are triggered by the attainment of certain levels of box office receipts or video on demand (“VOD”) purchases. To that extent, in accordance with ASC 606-10-55, the Company will recognize the sales-based or usage-based royalties only when the later of the following events occur-a) the subsequent sale or usage occurs or b) the performance obligation to which the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been satisfied. The Company did not recognize any revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.
As it pertains to incremental costs of obtaining a contract, the Company does not incur any type of sales commissions.
Exploitation and Participation Costs
The Company accounts for advertising costs in
accordance with ASC 720-35, Other Expenses-Advertising Costs. All other direct costs incurred in connection with the distribution
of a film are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company will begin to accrue (expense) participation costs when i) a film is released
and ii) it begins to recognize revenue from the film. Participation costs are accrued (expensed) using the individual-film-forecast-computation
method. The Company incurred participation costs of $
Investments in Equity Securities
The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment in accordance with ASC 321, Investments-Equity Securities. Further, the Company will continue to recognize its investments without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment until the investment does not qualify to be measured as such. To that extent, the Company will re-assess at the end of each reporting period whether the investment still qualifies to be recognized at cost minus impairment.
In addition to assessing whether the investments still qualify to be recognized at cost minus impairment, the Company will also make a qualitative assessment at the end of each reporting period considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, then the investment will be written down to fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairments for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses
The Company’s general and administrative expenses primarily consist of participation costs, personnel and related costs, including employee salaries, legal fees relating to corporate matters, accounting and audit related costs, insurance, corporate communications, information technology and related expenses.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
| 8 |
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to the basic earnings per share, except the weighted average number of common shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of share options, if dilutive. The Company had no outstanding shares issuable to be excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage of $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represent their estimated net realizable value, which approximates fair value. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded based on historical collection experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Receivables are written off when they are deemed uncollectible.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring 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). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; | |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and | |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
The reporting amount of cash represents fair value due to its liquid nature. Further, the stated amounts of related and non-related notes payable also represent fair value as the borrowings are issued at prevailing market rates. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Related Party Disclosures
The Company discloses all related party transactions in accordance with the guidance in ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. To that extent, amounts of related party transactions are stated on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (as applicable).
Segment Reporting
The Company currently operates in a single operating segment. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“the CODM”). The Company’s CODM, which is its Chief Executive Officer, views the Company’s operations and manages its business as a single operating segment, which is currently movie film production. The CODM primarily evaluates cash flow from operations and overall liquidity to determine its ability to deliver its picture films.
| 9 |
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company accounts for contingencies in accordance with ASC 450-20, Contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that could require either accrual or disclosure.
In addition to the stated interest rates on the loans, certain of our notes payable include a net profit participation feature whereby the lender may receive an additional return based on the performance of the film underwritten by the loan. Certain of these loans are collateralized by interests in film rights the Company owns.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 for public business entities. This guidance is applicable for smaller reporting companies effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company does not expect the issued standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 – REVERSE MERGER
During July of 2024, certain combined entities of Rivulet Media, Inc. entered into a reverse merger with Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, it was determined that the combined entities should be considered the accounting acquirer and Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. should be considered the accounting acquiree.
In determining the number of shares outstanding as of the merger completion date, the Company utilized the guidance in ASC 805-40, Reverse Acquisitions. Specifically, while the combined entities (that were transferred as part of the transaction) did not have any shares outstanding as of the merger date, the Company established an exchange ratio based on the number of shares issued by Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. to effectuate the merger divided by the number of shares outstanding of Rivulet Media, Inc. consolidated immediately prior to the merger as follows:
| Number of shares issued to effectuate the merger | A | |||||
| Rivulet Media inc. consolidated shares outstanding-pre merger | B | |||||
| Exchange ratio | A/B |
Further, for the recapitalization shares issued amount, the Company determined the implicit number of shares that Rivulet Media, Inc. would have had to issue in order to provide Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. with an approximate 12% interest in the combined company and multiplied that amount times the established exchange ratio as follows:
| Gross implicit shares issued by Rivulet Media, inc. | A | |||||

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. To that extent, the information discussed below solely reflects the results of the combined entities that were transferred as part of the agreement with Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. This document contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. When used in this document, the words “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify certain of these forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements made in this document should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this document.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had notes payable, which were used to fund our film production, totaling $19,970,674 as of September 30, 2025. Further, the Company still has a $3,500,000 outstanding balance to Rivulet Media, inc. stemming from the merger transaction.
The Company will incur significant capital costs as it continues to produce feature length films. In order to continue to produce films, the Company will need to raise funds through additional borrowings until such time as our operating revenues from the sale of films are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately provide profitable operations. There is no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations.
Going Concern
The Company had cash of $41,724 as of September 30, 2025, negative working capital of approximately $25.0 million and accumulated deficit of approximately $11.9 million. Further, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1.0 million and cash flow provided by operations of approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. As such, the Company concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company hopes to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through its future sales of movie rights and future capital raises.
Cash Flows
The following tables summarize the results of our cash flows for the below respective periods:
| For the Three Months Ended September, | ||||||||

Cash provided by operating activities resulted from a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $1.0 million and an increase in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $1.9 million, primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $2.0 million, an increase film costs of approximately $0.6 million and an increase in accrued expenses of approximately $0.5 million.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 totaled $657,779 and $496,578, respectively. General and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $657,779 consisted of professional fees of $510,497, payroll costs of $101,777, travel, meals and entertainment costs of $20,202 and other general and administrative expenses of $25,303.
General and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $496,578 consisted of professional fees of $187,972, music and musician expenses $87,275, travel & meals and entertainment of $91,598, payroll costs of $53,106, external communication of $34,346 and other general and administrative expenses of $42,281.
The increase in general and administrative for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily related to increases in professional fees related to legal and external financial services and wages expense for management salaries.
Other (expense) income
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other income (expense) totaled ($308,311) which primarily consisted of interest expense of ($308,440). For the three months ended September 30, 2024, other income (expense) was ($106,786). The increase in other income (expense) was primarily due to the higher average outstanding balance of notes payable within the corporate entity during the period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the period ended September 30, 2024. Portions of our interest costs related to notes payable are capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 926, Entertainment-Films and therefore are expensed through the amortization of capitalized film costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company capitalized $0.2 million and $0 of interest expense to film costs related to various picture film productions, respectively.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Impairment of Capitalized Production Costs
The Company will test its unamortized production costs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film may be less than its unamortized costs. If the Company determines that the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized production costs, then the unamortized capitalized costs for the film will be written down by the amount exceeding the film’s fair value. The unit of account for impairment testing is the individual film being produced and the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique.
Recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with the core principle outlined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Specifically, “to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services”. To that extent, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the ASC Topic by applying the following five steps:
| ● | Step 1-Identify the contract(s) with a customer | |
| ● | Step 2-Identify the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Step 3-Determing the transaction price | |
| ● | Step 4-Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Step 5-Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
The Company’s contracts with its customers currently contain a single performance obligation comprised of a license to motion picture rights. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company ( i.e. the “licensor”) has concluded that the license transfer should i) be considered functional intellectual property and ii) that customers (the “licensees” or “distributors”) are therefore granted a right to access of the Company’s intellectual property throughout the license period. As such, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the Company’s delivery of the license to the licensee. The Company does not currently provide any form of extended payment terms to its customers and, as such, a fixed payment is typically received from the customer within 90 days after the license is transferred.
In determining the transaction price, the Company’s contracts with its customers do not include a significant financing component, non-cash consideration or consideration payable to the customer. However, the Company’s contracts typically will include sales-based or usage-based royalties that are triggered by the attainment of certain levels of box office receipts or video on demand (“VOD”) purchases. To that extent, in accordance with ASC 606-10-55, the Company will recognize the sales-based or usage-based royalties only when the later of the following events occur-a) the subsequent sale or usage occurs or b) the performance obligation to which the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been satisfied.
As it pertains to incremental costs of obtaining a contract, the Company does not incur any type of sales commissions.
Investments in Equity Securities
The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment in accordance with ASC 321, Investments-Equity Securities. Further, the Company will continue to recognize its investments without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment until the investment does not qualify to be measured as such. To that extent, the Company will re-assess at the end of each reporting period whether the investment still qualifies to be recognized at cost minus impairment.
In addition to assessing whether the investments still qualify to be recognized at cost minus impairment, the Company will also make a qualitative assessment at the end of each reporting period considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, then the investment will be written down to fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 for public business entities. This guidance is applicable for smaller reporting companies effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company does not expect the issued standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer/chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2025. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable 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.
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We, under the supervisions of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon such evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of segregation of duties and the lack of formal documentation of our control environment.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
