Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented and of the financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to the three-and nine-month periods are unaudited. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net earnings (loss) per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The Company had no dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 14, 2023. We intend to offer of a continuous, remote condition-based monitoring solution for manufacturers and continuous production facilities seeking to implement a Prescriptive Maintenance (RxM) program. Our platform leverages the latest IIoT technology with edge processing, machine-learning/AI algorithms, and Cloud computing infrastructure to collect, diagnose and transmit critical information about machine health and performance. Unlike other condition-monitoring programs on the market today, we take a unique approach by offering a remote, continuous monitoring solution that is autonomous and machine agnostic with no equipment purchase requirement. Designed as a scalable, stand-alone solution, our solution does not depend on integration with any control or IT system for its data source. Our design uses a mesh network of data collection nodes that are externally-mounted to the outer casing of the equipment being monitored and data is collected via three on-board sensors, including acoustic, vibration and temperature. Compatible with virtually all rotating machinery, regardless of age, make, model or condition, the nodes collect and securely transmit pertinent data from the on-board sensors via a secure gateway to our Cloud-based analytics platform for processing and diagnosis.
The Company was incorporated on March 14, 2023 and has a June 30 fiscal year-end, therefore has limited comparable history. The prior period was a partial period with minimal activity; and therefore, has been excluded from analysis as there is no relevant comparable information.
Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Revenues. We are in our development stage and have not generated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Operating Expenses. We incurred operating expenses of $217,292 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Of this total, $58,957 was attributed to research and development activities related to the Company’s SaaS platform and the balance of these expenses incurred was related to general and administrative expenses, including legal and accounting, travel and lodging, and management fees, of which $39,000 was a non-cash expense related to the issuance of shares as compensation for services to consultants and advisory board members.
Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $217,292 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of incurring the above-mentioned operating expenses while not generating any revenues.
Results of Operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.
Revenues. We are in our development stage and have not generated revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.
Operating Expenses. We incurred operating expenses of $676,441 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. Of this total, $124,117 was attributed to research and development activities related to the Company’s SaaS platform and $189,000 was a non-cash expenses related to the issuance of shares as incentive for recruiting our CFO and compensation for members of our advisory board and consultants. The balance of expenses incurred was related to general and administrative expenses, which include legal and accounting, travel and lodging, and management fees.
Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $676,441 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of incurring the above-mentioned operating expenses while not generating any revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at March 31, 2024, the Company has $169,456 cash on hand, an accumulated net loss of $707,207 and no revenue to cover its operating costs. Our burn rate is approximately $61,500 per month. Presently, our operations are being funded by funds previously raised and we believe our currently available capital resources are sufficient to sustain our operations for a maximum of three (3) months.The Company intends to fund future operations through its registered offering of common stock and other public offerings or private financing arrangements. The ability of the Company to realize its business plan is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the cash flows used in the Company’s operating activities was $501,800, primarily used to fund general and administrative expenses.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not record any cash transactions from investing activities.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the net cash provided by financing activities by the Company was $468,797. The cash provided by financing activities is related to proceeds received from sales of our common stock.
Contractual Obligations
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares and debt proceeds in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Expected Purchase or Sale of Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment, as such items are not required by us at this time or in the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718-10”). The Company measures all equity-based awards granted to employees, independent contractors and advisors based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.
The Company classifies equity-based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll or contractor costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded as of March 31, 2024, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting discussed immediately below.
Identified Material Weakness
A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, which are primarily due to the size of the Company and available resources:
Personnel: There are limited personnel to assist with the accounting and financial reporting function, which results in: (i) a lack of segregation of duties and (ii) controls that may not be adequately designed or operating effectively. Despite the existence of material weaknesses, the Company believes the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial position and operating results of the three months ended March 31, 2024, in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to seek qualified accounting staff to expand its internal accounting and reporting functions.
Audit Committee: We do not yet have an audit committee, and we lack a financial expert. During 2024, the Board expects to appoint an Audit Committee and to identify a committee Chairman who is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and as adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, which were identified in connection with our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor’s attestation report. The Company’s registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management’s reports on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
