STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

In this annual report, references to “Certiplex”, or “the Company,” or “we,” or “us,” and “our” refer to Certiplex Corporation. Except for the historical information contained herein, some of the statements in this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are found in the sections entitled “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” They include statements concerning: our business strategy; expectations of market and customer response; liquidity and capital expenditures; future sources of revenues; expansion of our proposed product line; and trends in industry activity generally. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “could,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “goal,” or “continue” or similar terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors,” that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For example, assumptions that could cause actual results to vary materially from future results include, but are not limited to our ability to successfully develop and market our products to customers; our ability to generate customer demand for our products in our target markets; the development of our target markets and market opportunities; our ability to manufacture suitable products at a competitive cost; market pricing for our products and for competing products; the extent of increasing competition; technological developments in our target markets and the development of alternate, competing technologies in them; and sales of shares by existing shareholders. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Unless we are required to do so under U.S. federal securities laws or other applicable laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

 

Below is a summary of material factors that make an investment in our securities speculative or risky. Importantly, this summary does not address all of the risks and uncertainties that we face. The below summary is qualified in its entirety by that more complete discussion of such risks and uncertainties. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties as part of your evaluation of an investment in our securities.

 

  - We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

  - Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.

  - The COVID-19 outbreak caused disruptions in our development operations, which have resulted in delays in existing projects and may have additional negative impacts on our operations.

  - Our results of operations have not resulted in profitability and we may not be able to achieve profitability going forward.

  - We have not generated positive cash flow from operations and our ability to generate positive cash flow is uncertain. If we are unable to generate positive cash flow or obtain sufficient capital when needed, our business and future prospects will be adversely affected and we could be forced to suspend or discontinue operations.

  - We will require additional capital to support business growth and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

  - We depend upon key personnel and need additional personnel.

  - Our business requires substantial capital and if we are unable to maintain adequate cash flows from operations our profitability and financial condition will suffer and jeopardize our ability to continue operations. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs to allow it to continue as a going concern and therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  - There is currently no public market for our common stock. Failure to further develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect the value of our common stock and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your stock.

  - If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

  - Because we plan to be quoted on the OTC QB marketplace instead of a national securities exchange, our investors may experience significant volatility in the market price of our stock and have difficulty selling their shares.

  - Our stock price and trading volume may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for our stockholders.

  - We have not paid dividends in the past and have no immediate plans to pay cash dividends.

  - Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market for our Common Stock.

  - You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

  - Our charter documents and Wyoming law may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable.

  - There are limitations on director/officer liability.

  - Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of our securities.

  - FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Item 1. Description of Business

 

Overview

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Montana on August 7, 2018, and has been capitalized by the Assets contributed by shareholders through a Private Offering as well as the revenues from operations.

 

We are a full-service multi-media Company with a multi operational approach focusing on;

 

1) Business Ready Opportunities through our ready to sell Business modules.

 

2) Website and mobile app technology integration design and development.

 

3) SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Social Media Integration.

 

4) Online video and photography content development and distribution

 

In addition, the Company owns the licensing rights to the Pro Sun Lighting system for both residential and commercial use which we market to distributors.

Website and Mobile App Technology Integration, Design, and Development

Website and mobile application development involves the integration of various digital components, including textual content, images, videos, and software applications, to enhance functionality and user experience. Websites often incorporate third-party applications (plug-ins) or custom-developed features designed for both desktop and mobile platforms. Our company provides technology solutions that enable businesses to optimize their online presence in response to evolving internet trends and user expectations.

Multimedia content, particularly video and photography, plays a critical role in digital engagement and marketing strategies. We assist clients with the integration of video and photographic content into their websites and mobile applications to enhance user interaction and brand visibility. Our services encompass the development, deployment, and optimization of multimedia content within digital platforms to ensure a seamless and visually engaging experience for end users.

With the proliferation of smartphones as a primary medium for internet access, mobile optimization has become a crucial component of web development. We assist clients in implementing responsive web design technologies that adapt their websites for optimal performance across mobile devices. Additionally, we support the integration of third-party applications designed to enhance website functionality, user interaction, and overall mobile compatibility.

Our suite of digital content services—including video production, photography, mobile application development, and website design—can operate as standalone offerings or as integrated solutions. Clients may engage us for individual services, such as multimedia content creation, or for end-to-end implementation, where we oversee both content development and its integration into web and mobile platforms. By aligning technological innovation with digital content strategies, we enable businesses to enhance their online presence and improve customer engagement.

 Our Content services include:

  · video shoots

 

  · photography

 

  · photo shoots

Video and Photography Content Development

We recognize that visual media, such as video and photography, enhances communication effectiveness by conveying information more dynamically and compellingly than plain text. Producing high-quality video content requires specialized expertise that is distinct from traditional text-based content creation. As businesses increasingly demand professional visual content to engage their audiences, the need for advanced video and photography production continues to grow.

Our company offers comprehensive video and photography content development services, utilizing original content creation and industry expertise to deliver high-quality multimedia solutions at competitive rates. These services encompass professional video production, photography, and the integration of visual media into websites, mobile applications, and social media platforms.

Along with content creation, we provide scriptwriting services for video productions as an add-on, allowing clients to craft structured and effective messaging for their visual content. Additionally, we employ advanced filming techniques, including 4K drone footage, for unique projects that require aerial perspectives. Traditionally, obtaining such vantage points necessitated expensive helicopter-based filming; however, drone technology now offers a cost-effective alternative, boosting the production value of video content.

Acquisition of Footage

We identify opportunities in acquiring and monetizing stock footage, both for internal use and resale. Our company often acquires high-quality video and photographic content from third-party sources to enhance client projects. These assets can be integrated into digital marketing campaigns, websites, and social media initiatives, allowing businesses to improve their visual presence without the necessity of custom production.

By merging innovative video and photography solutions with cutting-edge technology and strategic content distribution, we assist businesses in enhancing their digital engagement and brand positioning.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Overview

Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”) refers to the process of enhancing a website’s visibility in search engine results to improve organic traffic from search engines such as Google and Bing. SEO involves optimizing website content and technical attributes to align with search engine algorithms, which assess relevance and authority based on numerous ranking factors. Higher visibility in search results increases the likelihood of attracting potential and existing customers.

Search engines use automated web crawlers, known as "bots,” to systematically scan and index web pages. The indexed pages are then analyzed by proprietary search algorithms that assess various ranking signals to establish the order in which results are shown in response to a user query. These algorithms are designed to prioritize authoritative and relevant content, providing a streamlined search experience for users.

SEO is distinct from paid search advertising because companies cannot simply pay to gain higher organic rankings. Instead, optimization efforts should concentrate on enhancing site architecture, content relevance, user experience, and technical aspects such as page speed and mobile-friendliness. As search engine algorithms change, SEO professionals must continuously adjust their strategies to sustain and improve rankings.

SEO is crucial for digital marketing strategies because search engines are a primary source of online traffic. As users perform trillions of searches each year—many with commercial intent—strong rankings in search engines can generate significant business value. Having greater visibility in search results compared to competitors can greatly influence revenue growth and customer acquisition.

Notably, search engines are increasingly integrating direct answers and informational snippets into results pages, potentially reducing the amount of traffic directed to external websites. Consequently, companies must optimize their digital presence comprehensively, incorporating SEO strategies across content marketing, paid search, social media, and other online channels. A well-executed SEO strategy enhances overall digital marketing effectiveness and aligns with broader business objectives.

Social Media Strategy and Integration

Social media has evolved from a platform for personal interaction into a crucial marketing channel used by businesses across various industries. The strategic use of social media allows companies to increase brand visibility, engage with customers, and foster business growth. As consumer engagement progressively moves to digital platforms, having an effective social media presence is essential for companies aiming to establish and maintain a competitive edge.

Key benefits of social media marketing include:

  1. Brand Awareness and Visibility – Social media platforms provide businesses with opportunities to reach and engage target audiences, expanding brand recognition.
  2. Customer Engagement and Support – Companies can leverage social media as a direct communication channel to provide responsive customer service and build stronger relationships with consumers.
  3. Lead Generation and Conversion Optimization – Social media facilitates cost-effective lead generation by enabling businesses to target and engage potential customers through organic and paid strategies.
  4. Data-Driven Consumer Insights – Social media analytics allow companies to monitor customer behavior, preferences, and trends, informing future marketing and product development strategies.
  5. Website Traffic and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Enhancement – A strong social media presence can drive traffic to a company’s website and contribute to improved search engine rankings, supporting broader digital marketing efforts.

Social Media Campaigns and Platform Utilization

Businesses deploy targeted social media campaigns across multiple platforms to maximize audience reach and engagement. The selection of platforms depends on business objectives, target demographics, and content strategies. Some of the most widely utilized social media platforms include:

Given the evolving nature of digital marketing, our company provides businesses with tailored social media strategies, content development, and campaign management services. By integrating social media initiatives with broader digital marketing strategies, we enable businesses to optimize their online presence and customer engagement.

Use of AI

We use AI to enhance efficiency, decision-making, and customer experiences across various business operations. AI-driven analytics help us identify trends, optimize marketing strategies, and improve financial forecasting. Automation streamlines repetitive tasks, reducing costs and increasing productivity. AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants enhance customer support by providing instant responses and personalized interactions. Additionally, AI assists in risk management, cybersecurity, and supply chain optimization, ensuring smoother and more secure business processes. By leveraging AI, we gain a competitive edge, drive innovation, and adapt to changing market demands with greater agility.

Marketing Strategy and Implementation

So far, the Company’s revenue has mainly come from website development, content creation, and content implementation services. The Company intends to keep expanding its marketing efforts to connect with potential and existing clients through digital channels, including its corporate website and online advertising. Currently, the Company has not entered into any agreements to secure external funding for marketing activities.

Market Opportunity and Small Business Engagement

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there are approximately 33.2 million small businesses in the United States, representing 99.9% of all U.S. businesses. A significant portion of these businesses, including sole proprietors, operate with minimal support staff and allocate the majority of their time to daily business operations. As a result, many small business owners lack the expertise and resources necessary to establish and maintain an effective online presence.

However, there is growing recognition among small businesses that a robust digital presence is essential for customer acquisition and overall business success. Many small businesses are shifting their marketing budgets from traditional advertising to digital channels, creating a substantial market opportunity for our services. The Company aims to support small businesses by providing comprehensive web development, content creation, and digital marketing solutions tailored to their needs.

Marketing Strategy and Budget

The Company’s marketing initiatives focus on acquiring new clients while promoting additional services to the existing customer base. Historically, our client acquisition has primarily been driven by referrals, word-of-mouth marketing, and organic search engine visibility. Moving forward, we plan to expand our marketing efforts in a cost-efficient manner by leveraging digital advertising and content-driven marketing strategies.

Our projected annual marketing budget is expected to range between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on the scale and reach of our campaigns. These marketing efforts will be deployed through the following key channels:

1.Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Implementation — SEO (Search Engine Optimization) enhances the visibility of our services in online search results, making it easier for potential clients to discover our offerings. By optimizing our website for search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Chrome, and Safari, we aim to improve organic search rankings and drive targeted traffic to our platform.
2.Social Media Advertising and Engagement — The Company will leverage various social media platforms to promote its services, engage with potential clients, and strengthen its brand presence. Targeted advertising and organic engagement efforts will be conducted across platforms such as:

Facebook (Meta)
Instagram
Twitter/X
YouTube
Vimeo
Snapchat
TikTok
LinkedIn

By integrating SEO-driven web marketing with strategic social media campaigns, the Company seeks to optimize client acquisition and retention while maintaining a cost-effective approach to expanding its market reach.

Technology and the internet are transforming commerce. Consumers now expect to be able to transact anywhere, anytime on any device and the experience needs to be simple, seamless and secure.

We assist individuals and businesses in building a strong online presence through tailored website development, logo design, digital content creation, social media management, digital marketing, and search engine optimization (SEO).

While developing custom websites for existing businesses, we noted an increasing demand for readily available online businesses, which we call "business modules." These are pre-made businesses that include a domain name, a custom website, a tailored logo, and integrated products or services. This setup allows buyers to obtain a fully equipped business website, enabling them to smoothly transition in, make necessary adjustments, and start generating income without building from the ground up.

Our process focuses on creating industry-specific, ready-to-use websites with customizable features such as layout, color schemes, and content. We utilize third-party advertising to promote these pre-developed websites to entrepreneurs and businesses looking for an efficient, cost-effective solution to establish their online presence. Buyers can personalize their new website to fit their specific needs, benefiting from a streamlined setup process.

This business model delivers value for both sides—our company leverages its expertise in web design and development, while buyers receive a functional, high-quality website without the complexities and time investment required to build one from scratch.

Following is a list of some of the pre-built website modules that we have sold in the past:

  · CandythatCares.org

  · WildSalsa.com

  · JoyousYoga.com

  · AirlineTraveler.com

  · MakeupQuick.com

  · MuscleTrainers.com

 

Assets of the modules typically include the following:

  · Domain Name: We transfer the ownership of the domain to the purchaser

  · Professionally Created Unique Website

  · Professionally Created Custom Logo (original PNG & JPG files)

  · Corresponding Email address can be included

  · Search Engine Optimization eBooks with instructions, tips & trade secrets

  · Social Media Marketing eBooks with instructions, tips & trade secrets

  · Contact info on digital marketing experts that can provide ongoing assistance

  · Contact info on WordPress experts that can provide ongoing assistance with editing the website

For instance, CandythatCares.org was conceived as an online business and later developed into a fully operational e-commerce model available for sale. For CandythatCares.org, we created an additional website as part of the package, Vendn.com. Both websites direct to the same content, offering the buyer greater exposure. We actively managed the business, facilitating direct sales through the website and successfully transformed the model into a profitable entity ready for sale.

Cost of Business Module

The Company sets the price for its business modules arbitrarily. For example, using CandythatCares.org as an illustration, the module was listed for sale on Flippa.com, a platform unrelated to the Company. An individual with no affiliation expressed interest and agreed to purchase the module for $28,000. The Company's net profit from the sale was $25,200, after Flippa charged a 15% commission. After the sale, the purchaser took on full responsibility for operating CandythatCares.org, which included placing vending units and selecting charities. The purchaser operates the website independently and is neither an employee nor an independent contractor of Certiplex.

 

Operations

Candythatcares.org was owned and operated by the Company, which established its business model as a fully functional e-commerce website. According to Whois.com (a website that identifies the owners of a domain), Certiplex Corporation was listed as the Organization owning the domain name, with Wayne Berian identified as the CEO of the Company before its sale.

The Company sold Candythatcares.org vending units for 499.00 which included:

  · 20 Heavy Duty Vending Displays
  · 20 Candy inserts
  · 20 pre-approved locations from our telemarketers
  · The Essential “Quick Start Guide”
  · Neck lanyard for your I.D card
  · Business Operational Template

 

Widlsalsa.com is another example of an e-commerce site which was sold. The business module WildSalsa.com was created by the Company. We had a salsa product manufactured as Sabo Rojo. We sold product through website sales as proof of concept. We sold the business module (the digital assets only-no inventory) through flippa.com using escrow.com for the sale. The purchaser has the ability to white label (Put their own proprietary name on the product) if they choose. Once sold we had no responsibility to deliver any product.

 

The Company's Responsibilities Subsequent to the Sale of a Business Module

 

We utilize escrow.com for the sale of a business module. Once the funds for the sale are received, the digital assets of the company, including the website and domain, are transferred to the purchaser, who then assumes responsibility for them. We are no longer obligated or expected to provide any further support or products.

Before selling, we establish and manage all the business modules. These modules are conceptualized by the company, a website is developed, domain(s) are acquired, and the business module is activated for operations. On average, we operate businesses utilizing the business modules for ten months before selling them.

In the case of Candythatcares.org, once sold, it became the purchaser’s responsibility to contact charities it wished to work with. Once sold, we had no responsibility to oversee whether proceeds were or were not donated to any charity.

We used Candythatcares.org and WildSalsa.com as examples, however we have sold other business modules which were websites where we have obtained the domain and built the website as an operational e-commerce site:

 

  · WildSalsa.com

  · JoyousYoga.com

  · AirlineTraveler.com

  · MakeupQuick.com

  · MuscleTrainers.com

 

Once again when a business module or website is purchased, the Company is selling only digital assets. Said purchaser operates the website purchased solely on their own—at their own discretion, and are not employees, or independent contractors of Certiplex, nor are they related parties to Certiplex.

Marketing 

We market our business modules via our websites. We also use SEO, and social media to reach customers.

Pro Sun Lights

 

We obtained the non-exclusive worldwide licensing rights, except for Canada (where we hold exclusive licensing rights as part of the agreement), for the Pro Sun LED Lighting System from Optimized Fuel Technologies ("Licensor") on October 15, 2021, for the total of ninety-seven thousand dollars ($97,000). This amount was paid through 9,700,000 common shares of the Company to the shareholders of Optimized Fuel Technologies who were shareholders as of the signing date of the agreement. The licensing rights stipulate a $20 per unit royalty payment to be remitted to Optimized Fuel Technologies.

 

According to the terms of the agreement, the Company was granted a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display, and publicly perform the Pro-Sun Lighting System (“PSLS”) worldwide, except in Canada, where it was granted exclusive licensing rights. Additionally, the agreement commenced on the Effective Date and will remain in full force indefinitely, with the following provision (noted in Item 22 of the agreement—see Exhibit 10.2): Either party may terminate the agreement immediately by delivering written notice to the other party that clearly specifies the grounds for termination if the other party commits a material breach of its obligations under this agreement and fails to cure the breach within 90 days after receiving written notice of the breach. For clarity, termination will be without prejudice to any liability incurred prior to the effective date of termination.

 

The Pro-Sun Horticultural Grow Lamp is an efficient commercial LED lighting solution available to legal marijuana growers in North America. The Pro-Sun lighting system offers a passively cooled LED lighting solution to marijuana growers worldwide. The Pro-Sun passive cooling system can help reduce power consumption for growers compared to traditional HPS and metal halide bulbs, as well as more recent conventional fan-cooled LED grow light systems.

The Pro-Sun LED has a series of diffusion lenses which simulate natural daylight and enhance the grow cycle, which we believe helps to reduce the grow time for the plants.

In the United States, cultivation licenses have become one of the most sought after and competitive applications as growers want to take advantage of this growth opportunity. Some cannabis cultivation operations are capable of yielding more than 50,000 pounds of flower. Currently Colorado, one of the leaders in the "green rush" has over 1,400 licensed cultivators.

As of the latest available data, the exact number of applications for cannabis cultivation licenses nationwide is not specified. However, in the second quarter of 2024, the United States saw a 21% increase in pending and approved marijuana business licenses, totaling 5,687—the highest in over two years. This surge was largely driven by states like New Jersey and New York, with New York accounting for nearly 80% of new applications nationwide and experiencing a 1,131% annual increase in pre-licensing activity due to its adult-use market rollout. CRB Monitor News+2MJBizDaily+2MJBizDaily+2. Indoor growing of cannabis has become the most popular and sustainable method. As fierce competition grows, LED lights have become more popular among growers as a way of reducing cost. This is not just only for cannabis, but the entire horticulture industry.

Marketing

 

Currently, we have only focused on marketing the licensing rights to distributors for the Pro Sun Light system through social media. We have not sold any of the lighting systems.

 

Regulation

Our business is exclusively conducted within the United States and is subject to regulation by federal and state laws in the United States. If we did business with countries outside the United States, we would be subject to their laws and regulations.

Advertising and promotional information presented on our websites and in our products, and our other marketing and promotional activities, are subject to federal and state consumer protection laws that regulate unfair and deceptive practices. U.S. federal, state, and foreign legislatures have also adopted laws and regulations regulating numerous other aspects of our business. Regulations relating to the Internet, including laws governing online content, user privacy, taxation, liability for third-party activities and jurisdiction, are particularly relevant to our business. Such laws and regulations are discussed below.

Communications Decency Act. The CDA regulates the content of material on the Internet and provides immunity to Internet service providers and providers of interactive computer services for certain claims based on content posted by third parties. The CDA and the case law interpreting it generally provide that domain name registrars and website hosting providers cannot be liable for defamatory or obscene content posted by customers on their servers unless they participate in creating or developing the content.

11 
 

Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The DMCA provides a safe harbor from liability for third-party copyright infringement. To qualify for the safe harbor, however, registrars and website hosting providers must satisfy numerous requirements, including adoption of a user policy that provides for termination of service access of users who are repeat infringers, informing users of this policy, and implementing the policy in a reasonable manner. In addition, registrars and website hosting providers must expeditiously remove or disable access to content upon receiving a proper notice from a copyright owner alleging infringement of its protected works. A registrar or website hosting provider that fails to comply with these safe harbor requirements may be found liable for copyright infringement.

Lanham Act. The Lanham Act governs trademarks and false advertising. Case law interpreting the Lanham Act has limited liability for many online service providers such as search engines and domain name registrars. Nevertheless, there is no statutory safe harbor for trademark violations comparable to the provisions of the DMCA and we may be subject to a variety of trademark claims in the future.

 

Privacy and Data Protection. In the areas of personal privacy and data protection, the U.S. federal and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on, and requirements associated with, the collection, distribution, use, storage, and security of personal information of individuals.

 

Intellectual Property & Proprietary Rights

 

We regard substantial elements of our businesses and website as proprietary and we shall attempt to protect them by relying on copyright, trademark, service mark and trade secret laws, restrictions on disclosure and transferring title and other methods. To date we have no copyrights or trademarks that have been applied for.

 

Employees

 

We are a new, developing company and currently have only one part-time employee, Varton Berian our CEO, Secretary and Treasurer, who has been paid in restricted shares of Company stock and a salary of $4,200 per month.  We may engage independent contractors in the future.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Risk Management and Strategy

We periodically assess risks from cybersecurity threats and monitor our information systems for potential vulnerabilities. However, to date, due to the small size of our company and the nature of our operations, our reliance on information systems has been limited to standard off-the-shelf software (such as Google, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Office) and standard personal computers used by our employees. As a result, management has not implemented any formal process for assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats.

Risks from cybersecurity threats have, to date, not materially affected us, our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. We discuss how cybersecurity incidents could materially affect us in our risk factor disclosures in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Governance

As discussed above, given the nature of our current operations and our experience to date, we do not currently perceive cybersecurity as a particularly significant risk to our business. Accordingly, we have not tasked our Board of Directors with any additional cybersecurity oversight duties, or designated any committee of the Board of Directors to specifically oversee cybersecurity risks to our business.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

General

 

We are a full-service multimedia company using a multi-operational approach that focuses on business-ready opportunities through our ready-to-sell business modules, website and mobile app technology design and development, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), social media integration, and the creation and distribution of online video and photography content. Additionally, the Company holds the licensing rights to the Pro Sun Lighting system for residential and commercial use, which we market to distributors. Our websites uniquely combine textual content, photos, and sometimes videos, along with apps designed as plug-ins for websites or mobile devices, to help convey a website's message, whether business-related or personal. We offer products and solutions to help our customers stand out in the ever-evolving internet landscape. Our funding comes from cash flows from operations and proceeds from a private placement offering.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had gross revenues of $120,498 of which $120,498 was derived primarily from multi-media work (website design and SEO). For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had total expenses of $154,625 and a net loss of $57,835.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had gross revenues of $132,974, of which $102,974 was derived primarily from multi-media work (website design and SEO) and marketing revenue of $30,000. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had total expenses of $139,295 and a net loss of $22,999.

 

Our plans are to continue marketing our services for integrating video with website design, SEO services, business module sales, and licensing rights for the Pro Sun Lighting system. We may also explore equity financing in the future. Currently, we have no arrangements with any funding sources. Furthermore, we are looking for potential acquisitions that align with our business model. As of now, we have not entered into any agreements with any entities.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations examines the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that influence the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances, which serve as the foundation for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue primarily consists of fees earned from our services related to integrating video with website design, SEO services, sales of business modules, and the licensing rights to the Pro Sun Lighting system. We recognize revenue from a sale of services or licensing arrangement when all of the following conditions are met: a non-refundable payment for licensing rights per a contract; persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists; the licensing rights, according to the terms of the agreement, have been delivered or are available for immediate and unconditional delivery; the license period of the arrangement has commenced, allowing the customer to begin its exploitation, exhibition, or sale; the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and the collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue from website sales, video integration with website design, SEO services, business module sales, and the licensing rights to the Pro Sun Lighting system when the following criteria are satisfied: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, a non-refundable contract is in place, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured upon invoicing for the work.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated gross revenues of $120,498, compared to $132,974 in the prior year, representing a decrease of $12,476 or approximately 9.4%. The decline was primarily attributable to the absence of marketing revenue, which contributed $30,000 in 2023. Revenues from multimedia services, including website design and SEO, remained relatively stable.

Total  cost of sales and expenses increased from $155,973  in 2023 to $178,333 in 2024, an increase of $22,360  or 14.3%. Key drivers of this increase include:

As a result of the increase in total expenses, the Company’s net loss widened significantly from $22,999 in 2023 to $57,835  in 2024, representing a 151.5%  increase in net loss. This performance decline reflects both reduced revenue from non-recurring marketing contracts and elevated operating costs during the year.

For the Year ended December 31, 2024

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had gross revenues of $120,498 which was derived primarily from multi-media work (website design and SEO). For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had total expenses of $178,333 consisting of cost of goods sold of $22,089, advertising and marketing of $41,817, depreciation and amortization expense of $1,440, professional fees of $24,895, consulting fees of $42,000, after interest expense of $1,619, and general and administrative expense of $44,473 resulting in a net loss of $57,835.   

For the Year ended December 31, 2023

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had gross revenues of $132,974 of which $102,974 was derived primarily from multi-media work (website design and SEO) and marketing revenue of $30,000. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had total expenses of $155,973  consisting of cost of goods sold of $13,762, advertising and marketing of $35,078, depreciation and amortization expense of $890, professional fees of $20,050, consulting fees of $41,000, after interest expense of $2,916, and general and administrative expense of $42,277 resulting in a net loss of $22,999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to the Year ended December 31, 2023

The total  shareholders' equity at the year ended December 31, 2024 was $45,770  as compared to $12,065 at the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024 we used $12,028  from cash in operating activities compared to $4,097 used in cash from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had $0 from investing activities compared to $8,837 in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023.

14 
 

The Company believes it may have adequate cash resources to support its primary operations for the next three (3) months if it does not receive any additional revenue, and it requires further funding to fully implement its business plan. The Company has no agreements with its shareholders, officers, directors, or any third parties to finance operations. Additionally, the Company has not negotiated or secured any other third-party sources of liquidity.

The Company has no current, off-balance sheet arrangements and does not anticipate entering into any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition.

The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs to allow it to continue as a going concern and therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $372,770  and $314,935, respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company will continue to attempt to secure equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful, and without sufficient financing, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Plan of Operation

We plan to continue to market the sale of website design and multi-media services, focusing on the integration of video with website design, SEO services, business modules, and the licensing rights to the Pro Sun Lighting system. We may also seek equity financing in the future. Currently, we have no arrangements for any funding source. In addition, we are seeking potential acquisitions that fit within our business model. Currently, we have not entered into any agreements with any entities.

Marketing and Sales efforts:

Our marketing efforts will primarily be related to marketing website design, multimedia services, SEO services, business modules and the sale of licensing rights to the Pro Sun Lighting system.

We plan to optimize our Search Engine Optimization ("SEO") efforts and internet marketing, believing that our sales will be supported through our website. We also intend to expand engagement to a call center to generate interest in our products within the next fiscal year. The successful implementation of our business strategy relies on factors specific to the ongoing development of our products, regulations regarding equity trading, additional financing through equity or debt sources, and many other elements that may be beyond our control. Adverse changes in the following factors could undermine our business strategy and materially impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations and cash flow:

  The ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and to meet customers' needs for trading products in a timely cost-effective manner; and;

 

  The ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in a competitive environment.

Income Taxes

We had a deferred tax asset of $103,444  at the year ending December 31, 2024, compared to a deferred tax asset of $87,394 at the year ending December 31, 2023 . Due to uncertainties surrounding the Company's ability to generate future U.S. taxable income to realize these assets, a full valuation allowance has been established to offset the net U.S. deferred tax asset. The change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $16,050   and $26,088.  “See Note 8 to the financial statements for additional information”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Certiplex Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Certiplex Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company has incurred net losses and has minimal revenues. These factors, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

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 audits 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

Certiplex Corporation

Notes To the Financial Statements

December 31, 2024  

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Certiplex Corporation (“Certiplex” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Montana, on August 7, 2018. Certiplex is a full-service multi-media Company with an operational approach focusing on:

1) Business Ready Opportunities through its ready to sell Business modules.

2) Website and mobile app technology integration design and development.

3) SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Social Media Integration.

3) Online video and photography content development and distribution.

On September 10, 2021, Certiplex acquired the licensing right to the Pro Sun Lighting system for both residential and commercial use. The Company’s intent is to market the lighting system through its online and social media sources.

Basis Of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash And Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Fixed Assets

The Company values its investments in property, equipment, and vehicles at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated mainly using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is five years for vehicles. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the depreciation expense amounted to $1,440 and $890, respectively.

Licensing Rights

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-50-1, costs incurred in the acquisition of an intangible asset are capitalized by the Company. The intangible assets are related to the acquisition of the licensing rights for the Pro Sun Lighting System, which was initially being amortized to expense over the licensing rights estimated useful life or period of benefit which is estimated to be 10 years using the straight-line method. On September 7, 2021, the agreement was amended and the term of the agreement was changed from 10 years to indefinitely; therefore, at that time, no further amortization was applied.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had licensing rights of $97,000 and accumulated amortization of $2,425. On July 12, 2022, the Company acquired non-exclusive distribution rights with an indefinite term from Tradewinds Universal for its Protein Bar for $25,000.

F-7 
 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, ("Revenue from contracts with customers," Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:

  i. Identification of the promised goods in the contract;

  ii. Determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;

  iii. Measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint of variable consideration;

  iv. Allocation of the transaction price of the performance obligations; and

  v. Recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company's main revenue stream is from product sales and has no performance obligations for which they serve as agent. The performance obligation associated with a typical product sale will be satisfied upon delivery to customers, and the revenue will be recognized at that time. Payments are due on demand. The Company does not offer any warranty on its products; however, customers do receive a manufacturer’s warranty. 

The Company also has revenue from licensing agreements. The Company licenses its intellectual property (“IP") to outside parties and determines if the license of IP is a distinct (separate) performance obligation in accordance with Topic 606. If the license is determined not to be distinct, the license is combined with the other goods or services and the combined performance obligation is accounted for using the general revenue recognition model outlined above. If the license is determined to be distinct, the Company analyzes whether the license is functional or symbolic to assess the timing of revenue recognition. The licensing of IP by the Company was determined to be a distinct performance obligation of symbolic IP, which provides a right to access IP. Topic 606 states that revenue from licenses of IP deemed to provide a right to use IP will be recognized at a point in time when control is transferred.

In accordance with Topic 606, the Company analyzes the following determining when to recognize licensing revenue:

  i. Whether the transaction represents a sale or licensing of intellectual property (IP),

  ii. Whether the IP is a distinct performance obligation,

  iii. The nature of the license - functional or symbolic; and

  iv. The timing of recognition based on the nature of the license.

 

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and represents services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligations when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. The Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligations when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company' s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in Income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

F-8 
 

 

The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company established a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset in the future tax consequences. Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the reliability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.

 

The Company has adopted the provisions set forth in ASC Topic 740 to account for uncertainty in income taxes. In the preparation of income tax returns in federal and state jurisdictions, the Company asserts certain tax positions based on its understanding and interpretation of the income tax law. The taxing authorities may challenge such positions, and the resolution of such matters could result in recognition of income tax expense in the Company's financial statements. Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns.

 

The Company uses the "more likely than not" criterion for recognizing the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and to establish measurement criteria for income tax benefits. The Company has determined that it has no material unrecognized tax assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes in such uncertainties and judgments during the next 12 months.

 

The Company's policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, which requires presentation of basic, and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company does not have a complex capital structure requiring the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on the appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. There were no impairment losses recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising, marketing, and public relations to expenses as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the company had $41,817 and $35,078 in advertising expenses.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended December 31, 2024 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

 

F-9 
 

Note 2 - Going Concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs to allow it to continue as a going concern and therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $372,770  and $314,935, respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company will continue to attempt to secure equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful, and without sufficient financing, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts for amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 3 - Segment Disclosure

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable segment and unit and derives revenues mainly from products, licensing rights and affiliate commissions (see Note 1 for a brief description of the Company’s business).

 

The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the CODM, which is the Company’s chief executive officer, who reviews financial information and annual operating plans for purposes of making operating decisions, evaluating financial performance, and allocating resources.

 

The key measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is the Company’s net income (loss). This is reviewed against budgeted expectations to assess segment performance and allocate resources. The Company’s segment net for 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:

Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies

During the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation, it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary accruals.

 

The Company has a consulting agreement with its President, under which it pays a monthly fee of $4,200. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $119,200 and $88,050 have been accrued, respectively, in relation to the consulting agreement, which is included in accrued compensation on the balance sheets.

Note 5– Related Party

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid a salary of $50,400, which included $22,498 allocated to cost of sales for website design services and $41,000 related to the consulting agreement, respectively. Of this amount, $13,762 was paid to the Company’s CEO for website design work.

The above transactions and amounts are not necessarily what third parties would agree to.

Note 6– Loan Receivable

The Company made an unsecured loan to one of its customers in the amount of $34,940 on October 11, 2022, with a 10% interest rate due and payable on October 11, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total with interest was $1,064 and $19,549, respectively. The Company agreed to an eight-month extension of the loan from the year end December 31, 2023.

Note 7– Notes Payable

 

The Company entered into an SBA loan during 2020 with a principal amount of $50,700. The note bears interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum. The SBA announced extended deferment periods for all COVID-19 and other disaster loans until 2022. As such, repayment of the Company’s SBA loan did not begin until November 2022. Subsequently interest only payments have been made per the loan agreement. The loan is secured by the assets of the Company.

 

Loan Maturity: 

     
For the Year   Loan Maturity Amount 
2025   $2,277 
2026    1,204 
2027    1,250 
2028    1,298 
2029    1,347 
Thereafter    43,324 
Total   $50,700 

 

Note 8- Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has not incurred any income tax liabilities due to accumulated net losses.

 

The Company's net loss before income taxes totaled $57,835  and $22,999 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

 

F-11 
 

 

The components of the Company's deferred tax asset and the reconciliation of income taxes, computed at the combined statutory federal rate of 21% and the Montana state tax rate of 6.75%, to the recorded income tax amount as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, are as follows:

         
   2024   2023 
Net operating loss carry forward  $372,770   $314,935 
Effective tax rate   21%   21%
Effective state tax rate   6.75%   6.75%
Deferred tax asset   103,444    87,394 
Less valuation allowance   (103,444)   (87,394)
Net deferred tax asset  $     $   

 

Due to uncertainties surrounding the Company's ability to generate future U.S. taxable income to realize these assets, a full valuation allowance has been established to offset the net U.S. deferred tax asset. The change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $16,050   and $26,088.

 

The future utilization of the Company's federal net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards to offset future taxable income, which begin to expire in 2038, may be subject to an annual limitation, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code sections 382 and 383, as a result of ownership changes that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. Tax years 2018 forward are subject to examination by major taxing authorities.

 

Note 9– Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2024 to the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose.

 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and

 

  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Based on our evaluation of internal controls, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2024 as the Company has no segregation of duties, audit committee or independent board.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

 

None of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or adopted or terminated a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K) during the year ended December 31, 2024.
