NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2023
(Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Yale Transaction Finders, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 15, 2000 as Sneeoosh Corporation. On October 20, 2000 the Company filed an amended Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to Snohomish Corporation. The Company did not conduct any operations until April 15, 2003, the date the Company filed a subsequent amendment to change the name to Yacht Finders, Inc. On April 7, 2022, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to Yale Transaction Finders, Inc.
Yale Transaction Finders, Inc.’s business plan was to create an online database for public buyers and yacht brokers to interface immediately with each other while capturing the benefits of targeting a larger market. On November 6, 2007, the Company discontinued its prior business and changed its business plan. The Company’s business plan now consists of exploring potential targets for a business combination through the purchase of assets, share purchase or exchange, merger or similar type of transaction.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company reports loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents and is determined by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no variances between the basic and diluted loss per share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company
generated a net loss of $
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. While the Company presently has no ongoing operations or employees, this situation could limit the market for a merger partner for a strategic business combination. Any of these uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CON’T)
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
From time-to-time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

(4) CHANGE IN CONTROL
On March 22, 2022, the Company entered into and consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Fountainhead Capital Management Limited, a Jersey company (the “Seller”), Ironbound Partners Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Moyo Partners, LLC, a New York limited liability company, Dakota Group, Ltd., a New York limited liability company, and Rise Capital Corp., a New York corporation (each a “Purchaser” and together, the “Purchasers”).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this report, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: a general economic downturn; a downturn in the securities markets; federal or state laws or regulations having an adverse effect on proposed transactions that we desire to effect; Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of “penny stocks”; and other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. The accompanying information contained in this registration statement, including, without limitation, the information set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation — Risk Factors” identifies important additional factors that could materially adversely affect actual results and performance. You are urged to carefully consider these factors. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statement.
Overview
We are a presently a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) whose plan of operation over the next twelve months is to seek and, if possible, acquire an operating business or valuable assets by entering into a business combination. We will not be restricted in our search for business combination candidates to any particular geographical area, industry or industry segment, and may enter into a combination with a private business engaged in any line of business, including service, finance, mining, manufacturing, real estate, oil and gas, distribution, transportation, medical, communications, high technology, biotechnology or any other. Management’s discretion is, as a practical matter, unlimited in the selection of a combination candidate. Management will seek combination candidates in the United States and other countries, as available time and resources permit, through existing associations and by word of mouth. This plan of operation has been adopted in order to attempt to create value for our shareholders. For further information on our plan of operation and business, see PART I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Plan of Operation
We do not intend to do any product research or development. We do not expect to buy or sell any real estate, plant or equipment except as such a purchase might occur by way of a business combination that is structured as an asset purchase, and no such asset purchase currently is anticipated. Similarly, we do not expect to add additional employees or any full-time employees except as a result of completing a business combination, and any such employees likely will be persons already then employed by the company acquired.
The Company’s business plan consists of exploring potential targets for a business combination through the purchase of assets, share purchase or exchange, merger or similar type of transaction. We anticipate no operations unless and until we complete a business combination as described above.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to March 31, 2022
The following table summarizes the results of our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 and provides information regarding the dollar and percentage increase or (decrease) from the current nine-month period to the prior nine-month period:
Line Item | 3/31/2023 (unaudited) | 3/31/2022 (unaudited) | Increase/ (Decrease) | Percentage Increase (Decrease) | ||||||||||||
Revenues | — | — | — | — | ||||||||||||
Operating expenses | 9,447 | 14,091 | (4,644 | ) | (32.9 | )% | ||||||||||
Net loss | 10,063 | 23,747 | (13,684 | ) | (57.6 | )% | ||||||||||
Loss per share of common stock | $ | (0.00 | ) | $ | (0.00 | ) |
We recorded a net loss of $10,063 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared with a net loss of $23,747 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had $679 cash on hand at March 31, 2023 and had no other assets to meet ongoing expenses or debts that may accumulate. Since inception, we have accumulated a deficit of $1,286,621. As of March 31, 2023, we had $57,037 in liabilities and a negative working capital of $56,358.
We have no commitment for any capital expenditure and foresee none. However, we will incur routine fees and expenses incident to our reporting duties as a public company, and we will incur expenses in finding and investigating possible acquisitions and other fees and expenses in the event we make an acquisition or attempt but are unable to complete an acquisition. Our cash requirements for the next twelve months are principally for accounting expenses and other expenses related to making filings required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which should not exceed $50,000 in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Any travel, lodging or other expenses which may arise related to finding, investigating and attempting to complete a combination with one or more potential acquisitions could also amount to thousands of dollars.
We will only be able to pay our future obligations and meet operating expenses by raising additional funds, acquiring a profitable company or otherwise generating positive cash flow. As a practical matter, we are unlikely to generate positive cash flow by any means other than acquiring a company with such cash flow. We believe that management members or shareholders will loan funds to us as needed for operations prior to completion of an acquisition. Management and the shareholders are not obligated to provide funds to us, however, and it is not certain they will always want or be financially able to do so. Our shareholders and management members who advance money to us to cover operating expenses will expect to be reimbursed, either by us or by the company acquired, prior to or at the time of completing a combination. We have no intention of borrowing money to reimburse or pay salaries to any of our officers, directors or shareholders or their affiliates. There currently are no plans to sell additional securities to raise capital, although sales of securities may be necessary to obtain needed funds. Our current management has agreed to continue their services to us and to accrue sums owed them for services and expenses and expect payment reimbursement only.
Should existing management or shareholders refuse to advance needed funds, however, we would be forced to turn to outside parties to either loan money to us or buy our securities. There is no assurance whatever that we will be able at need to raise necessary funds from outside sources. Such a lack of funds could result in severe consequences to us, including among others:
● | failure to make timely filings with the SEC as required by the Exchange Act, which also probably would result in suspension of trading or quotation in our stock and could result in fines and penalties to us under the Exchange Act; |
● | curtailing or eliminating our ability to locate and perform suitable investigations of potential acquisitions; or |
● | inability to complete a desirable acquisition due to lack of funds to pay legal and accounting fees and acquisition-related expenses. |
We hope to require potential candidate companies to deposit funds with us that we can use to defray professional fees and travel, lodging and other due diligence expenses incurred by our management related to finding and investigating a candidate company and negotiating and consummating a business combination. There is no assurance that any potential candidate will agree to make such a deposit.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. We had $56,358 negative working capital as of March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,286,621 incurred through March 31, 2023 and recorded a loss of $10,063 for the first three months of 2023 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, we generated a net loss of $68,042, a negative working capital of $46,295 and an accumulated deficit of $1,276,558. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders or the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business. Given the Company’s limited resources and limited access to capital, there is little the Company can do to address this issue until it identifies and completes a transaction with a third party. There is no guarantee that such a transaction can be completed, and if one is completed, that it will be on terms which are beneficial to shareholders or alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan to alleviate the going concern issue is to continue to seek out a merger partner which has the financial resources to address the going concern issue.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any 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 is material to investors.
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, 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 (Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit 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 and that our disclosure and controls are not designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
