Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Statements: The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month periods have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Fiscal year end: The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.

Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Research and Development Costs: The Company charges research and development costs to expense when incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730, Research and Development. Research and development costs were $55,824 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Research and development costs were $6,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

Advertising and Marketing Costs: Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred no advertising and marketing costs during the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Related Parties: For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.

Stock Based Compensation and Other Share-Based Payments: The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, using the fair value method of the award on grant date. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The expense attributable to the Company’s directors is recognized over the period the amounts are earned and vested, and the expense attributable to the Company’s non-employees is recognized when vested, as described in Note 9, Stock Plan.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The following table provides a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

	Fair value measurements on a recurring basis
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
As of March 31, 2024:
Liabilities
Derivative liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	315,336

As of December 31, 2023:
Liabilities
Derivative liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	373,718

Warrants: The Company accounts for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. For warrants classified as equity instruments the Company applies the Black Scholes model and expenses the fair value as financing costs. For warrants classified as derivative financial instruments the Company applies the Monte Carlo model to value the warrants.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

Income taxes: The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary 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.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share: In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.

Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method), convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features, and stock awards and stock options.

The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each reporting period:

	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Research warrants at 3% of issued and outstanding shares		409,494		409,494
Convertible notes		831,313		775,586
Series A preferred shares		700		700
Stock options vested		3,883,336		3,883,336
Stock options not yet vested		899,997		899,997
Stock purchase warrants		295,000		295,000
Total		6,319,840		6,264,113

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have any impact on our financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on our financial statements.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to disclose climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. The new rules would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. However, in April 2024, the SEC exercised its discretion to stay these rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain consolidated petitions with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in connection with these rules. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this rule, if any, may have on our financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The Company has experienced net losses to date and has not generated revenues from operations. The Company raised proceeds totaling $66,000 in unsecured advances from related parties during the year ended December 31, 2023. In the most recent 3 months ended March 31, 2024 the Company has received additional related party advances totaling $22,500. Currently, the Company does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company’s officers or principal shareholders are committed to making advances or loans to pay for ongoing operational costs. The Company expects it will require additional capital to fully implement the scope of its proposed business operations, which also raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing, and continued support from its officers and directors. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on favorable terms. In addition, if the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing from the capital markets, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amount and classification of liabilities that might cause results from this uncertainty.

Note 4 – Convertible Note and Derivative Liabilities

(1) 8% Convertible notes with warrants issued in December 2019 and February 2020

In December 2019, we issued and sold in a private offering 8% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $70,000. Such notes were due on December 31, 2021 and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price for each share of common stock equal to the lesser of: (a) $0.50; (b) the lowest price at which the Company has converted any convertible security of the Company (to the holder or to any third party) within 30 trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable notice of conversion; and (c) so long as lower than (a) or (b), such other price as the Company and the holder may agree. In connection with the 8% convertible note issuance, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 70,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00. The Company extended the maturity date of the notes to December 2022 upon initial maturity, and further extended the maturity date to December 2023 and subsequently, December 2025 under the same terms and conditions. The balance owing on the note is reflected on the Company’s balance sheets as a long term liability as at March 31, 2024.

On February 19, 2020, we issued and sold in a private offering an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $10,000. The note is due on February 19, 2022 and is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of: (a) $0.50; (b) the lowest price at which the Company has converted any convertible security of the Company within 30 trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable notice of conversion; or (c) such other price as the Company and the holder may agree. In connection with the 8% convertible note issuance, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00. The Company extended the maturity date to February 2023 upon initial maturity, and further extended the maturity date to February 2024 and subsequently, February 2026 under the same terms and conditions. The balance owing on the note is reflected on the Company’s balance sheets as a long term liability as at March 31, 2024.

In connection with the Quick Note issuance, Quick Capital was also issued a five-year warrant (the “Quick Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 115,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “Quick Warrant Shares”) subject to adjustments for dilutive issuances at lower prices.

The Quick Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. If delivery of the conversion shares is not timely made, the Company is obligated to pay Quick Capital $2,000 for each day that the delivery is late as liquidated damages. The conversion price of the Quick Note will be reduced if the Company issues common stock or grants derivative securities for consideration at a price less than the conversion price to the amount of the consideration of such dilutive issuance. The Quick Note may not be prepaid.

The Company is subject to significant cash penalties if the Company defaults on the Quick Note or in the event shares are not issued in a timely manner when a notice of conversion is provided. If an event of default occurs, the Quick Note will become immediately due and payable in an amount equal to 150% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Quick Note plus any interest or amounts owing to Quick Capital. The default provisions are based on the type of default and include a penalty of 50% of the principal plus accrued interest due (the “Default Sum”) and a parity value of the Default Sum based on the effective conversion of the Quick Note on the date of payment of the default and the maximum stock value during the period between the default date and the payment date.

As of June 15, 2022, the Quick Note and accrued interest totaling $124,200 was not repaid on maturity, constituting an event of default increasing the repayment value of the Quick Note to an amount equal to 150% of the principal balance and accrued interest outstanding, or $186,300. On December 7, 2022, the Company and Quick Capital amended the Quick Note to extend the maturity date thereof to June 15, 2023, and amended the Warrant maturity date to June 15, 2027. Further Quick Capital agreed to reduce the outstanding balance of the Quick Note from $186,300 to $150,000 in consideration for the issuance of 150,000 shares of unregistered, restricted common stock valued at $76,350.

As of June 15, 2023, the Quick Note and accrued interest totaling $162,000 was not repaid on maturity, constituting an event of default increasing the repayment value of the note to an amount equal to 150% of the principal balance and accrued interest outstanding, or $243,000. On June 15, 2023, the Company and Quick Capital amended the Quick Note to extend the maturity date thereof to June 15, 2024, and amended the Warrant maturity date to June 15, 2028. Further Quick Capital agreed to reduce the outstanding balance of the Quick Note from $243,000 to $200,000 in consideration for the issuance of 150,000 shares of unregistered, restricted common stock valued at $52,500.

The unpaid balance of the Quick Note continues to accrue interest at 8% per annum.

The Company valued the embedded default derivative liability of the Quick Note and the Quick Warrant liability, including the full ratchet reset feature, using Monte Carlo models.

The fair value of the Quick Note and Quick Warrant embedded default derivatives liability has been valued as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

The carrying value of the Quick Note is as follows:

	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023

The license grant includes the right of the Company to sublicense to third parties subject to the terms of the Agreement.

The Agreement provided for: (i) a $25,000 license issue fee; (ii) an annual license maintenance fee of $25,000, until the first commercial sale of a licensed product or service; (iii) an earned royalty of 2% of net sales of licensed products and services by the Company or a sublicensee; (iv) 15% of consideration received by the Company under a sublicense; and (v) beginning in the first calendar year after the first commercial sale, an annual minimum royalty payment of $500,000, $1,000,000 in the second calendar year, and $2,000,000 in the third calendar year and each year thereafter. The Company will also reimburse Dartmouth for all patent preparation, filing, maintenance and defense costs.

Under the Agreement, the Company was required to diligently proceed with the development, manufacture and sale of licensed products and licensed services, including funding at least $1,000,000 of research in each calendar year beginning in 2019 and ending with the first commercial sale of a licensed product; filing an IND/BLA (or equivalent) with the FDA or a comparable European regulatory agency before the four-year anniversary and make the first commercial sale of a licensed product before the twelve-year anniversary of the effective date of the Agreement and achieve annual net sales of at least $50,000,000 by 2033. If the Company failed to perform any of these obligations, Dartmouth has the option to terminate the Agreement or change the exclusive license to a nonexclusive license.

As the Company failed to fulfill its requirements under the Agreement Dartmouth declared the Company in default in August 2023, and terminated the license.

The Company and Dartmouth also agreed in February 2024 to add Professor Chenfeng Ke and Qianming Lin, both formerly of Dartmouth as co-inventors of the patent entitled Techniques for Promoting Neuronal Recovery and to add Dartmouth as co-owner of the patent together with Qrons.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including the risks set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our prospectus, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2022, that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Report. You should read this Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by federal securities and any other applicable law.

The management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the notes to the unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report and the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K on April 15, 2024, along with the accompanying notes. As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” means Qrons Inc.

The Company has relied primarily on its two co-founders, Jonah Meer, Chief Executive Officer, and Ido Merfeld, President, who are its sole directors to manage its day-to-day business and has outsourced professional services to third parties in an effort to maintain lower operational costs.

Messrs. Meer and Merfeld, as the holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock, collectively have 66 2/3% of the voting rights of the Company. Acting together, they will be able to influence the outcome of all corporate actions requiring approval of our stockholders.

Plan of Operations

We are an innovative biotechnology company dedicated to developing products, treatments and technologies that create a platform to combat neuronal and infectious diseases. The Company’s approach is to marshal and leverage its proprietary research with developing unique know how and intellectual properties by seeking to engage in strategic arrangements with companies and institutions that are developing technologies in the fields of, molecular biology, stem cells, drug development and tissue engineering, for deployment in the fight against neuronal and infectious diseases, and such other indications that may make use of our technology. The Company’s search is focused on researchers based in Israel, a country which is world-renowned for biotech innovations and where our researchers are based.

Table of Contents

To date, the Company has collaborated with universities and scientists in the fields of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and 3D printable hydrogels to develop a treatment that integrates proprietary, engineer mesenchymal stem cells (“MSCs”), 3D printable implant, smart materials and a novel delivery system and has two product candidates for treating penetrating and non-penetrating (concussion-like) traumatic brain injuries, both integrating proprietary, anti-brain inflammation synthetic hydrogel and modified MSCs.

In early 2022, the Company began collaborating with scientists at a leading University in Israel to conduct preliminary experiments to confirm that a combination of certain molecule compounds that they invented which contain immunomodulating properties when integrated with ingredients in our QS200™ product candidate may substantially improve its solubility and allow very high dosage treatments which we believe offers treatment options to diffused axonal injuries. These molecules are being tested for certain indication in various Phase II trials conducted by others. We also believe that the improved dosage delivery may present a unique treatment option to patients who suffer from antibiotic resistant bacteria infection and Sepsis. We are looking to conduct such in vitro tests, which if successful we believe may provide an expedited pathway to human trials.

On July 17, 2023 the Company entered into a License Agreement Term sheet with Professors Benjamin Sredni and Michael Albeck (the “Professors”), to which Dr. Ido Merfeld, the Company’s President, was a party.

Under the Agreement the Professors, inventors of certain patents, applications, processes and who possess certain related know-how particularly as to AS101 Tellurium based compounds (the “Background IP”), agreed to license the Background IP to the Company. Dr. Merfeld is the inventor of certain patents and possesses certain related know-how particularly as to Pseudopolyrotaxanes and Cyclodextrins, all owned by the Company (“Qrons IP”).

We have not generated any revenue from the sale of products.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $86,374 compared to total operating expenses of $36,942 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024 is due to a substantial increase in research and development expenses from $6,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to of $55,824 in the current three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company also recorded an increase to general and administrative expenses in the comparative three-month periods from $7,777 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $13,407 in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The reported allocations to research and development in the amount of $55,824 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 relates to $690 expended on supplies and $55,134 in stock based compensation expense recognized in the period as a result of the vesting of stock options previously granted to science advisors. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, research and development expenditures of $6,820 relate to license fees of $6,250 and supplies of $570. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 professional fees remained relatively constant with fees totaling $22,345 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreasing slightly to $17,143 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of a reduction to legal fees incurred.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $43,758, which included a gain of $58,382 as a result of the change in fair market value of derivative liabilities, offset by interest expense of $14,624 which is comprised of accretion of convertible notes of $7,516, and accrued interest on convertible notes payable of $7,108. Other expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $31,516, which included a loss of $14,039 as a result of the change in fair market value of derivative liabilities, and interest expense of $17,477, which is comprised of accretion of convertible notes of $11,377 and accrued interest on convertible notes payable of $6,100.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $19,283 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $13,581 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily the result of net loss, increased by a non-cash item gain on change in fair market value of derivative liabilities of $58,382, offset by non-cash items accretion of debt discount of $7,516, noncash stock options issued for consulting services in the amount of $4,647 and noncash stock options issued for research and development expenses in the amount of $55,134, and changes to operating assets and liabilities, including an decrease to accounts payable of $7,293 and an increase to accounts payable-related parties of $21,711. Net Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily the result of net loss, offset by non-cash items including accretion of debt discount of $11,377, a loss from the change in derivative liabilities of $14,039 and changes to operating assets and liabilities, including an increase to accounts payable of $17,856 and an increase to accounts payable-related parties of $11,605.

Investing Activities

There were no investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $22,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company received net proceeds of $22,500 from related parties in the form of unsecured advances. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received $15,000 in proceeds from related parties in the form of unsecured advances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash of $3,637. We are in the early stage of development and have experienced net losses to date and have not generated revenue from operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There are a number of conditions that we must satisfy before we will be able to commercialize potential products and generate revenue, including successful development of product candidates, which includes clinical trials, FDA approval, demonstration of effectiveness sufficient to generate commercial orders by customers, establishing production capabilities as well as effective marketing and sales capabilities for our product. We do not currently have sufficient resources to accomplish any of these conditions necessary for us to generate revenue and expect to incur increasing operating expenses. We will require substantial additional funds for operations, the service of debt and to fund our business objectives. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to us in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to us. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of equity securities, such as through the issuance and exercise of warrants, then existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may be subject to certain limitations in our operations, and the issuance of such securities may have rights senior to those of the then existing stockholders. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.

We continue exploring sources of debt and equity financing as well as available grants. We are currently exploring and are in discussions for a potential strategic alliance in the biotechnology field which could advance our MSCs and neurodegenerative research. as well as treat other indications. There can be no assurance that we will reach agreement on this alliance or that the necessary financing will be available to implement the research under the alliance. In such event, we may explore other relationships with other third parties to develop or commercialize products or technologies that we have not previously sought to develop or commercialize, decide to exit our existing business, cease operations altogether or pursue an acquisition of our company. However, without additional financing, we do not believe our resources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs beyond the second quarter of 2024.

Offering

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on January 11, 2022, to offer and sell up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock in a self-underwritten primary offering at a fixed price of $0.70 per share which was declared effective on January 11, 2022. To date, no shares have been sold and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in selling any of the shares being offered.

Table of Contents

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. Our report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 includes an explanatory paragraph stating the Company has recurring losses and limited operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed financial statements contained herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of March 31, 2024, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our internal controls and procedures are not effective for the following reasons: (i) there is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives as management is comprised of only two persons, one of which is the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and, (ii) the Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

In order to mitigate the foregoing material weakness, we have engaged an outside accounting consultant with significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.

We would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will continue to reassess this matter to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. In addition, we would need to expand our board to include independent members.

Table of Contents

Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
