XERIANT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Company Overview
Xeriant, Inc. (the “Company”) is dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of advanced materials and technology related to next generation air and spacecraft, which can be successfully integrated and commercialized for deployment across multiple industrial sectors. The Company seeks to partner with and acquire strategic interests in visionary companies that accelerate this mission. Xeriant’s advanced materials line will be marketed under the DUREVER™ brand, and includes NEXBOARD™, an eco-friendly, patent-pending composite building panel made from plastic and cellulose waste and a proprietary flame retardant, primarily designed to be a replacement for traditional building materials such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, MgO board and other materials used in construction.
Operating History
The Company is a development-stage enterprise with a limited operating history with no sales, and operating losses since its inception. The Company had two joint ventures, one in the area of aerospace that was effective May 31, 2021, and terminated on May 31, 2023, the other involving advanced materials that was effective April 2, 2022, and terminated June 30, 2023.
Advanced Materials
A primary focus of the Company is the development and commercialization of eco-friendly advanced materials which have applications across a broad range of industries and the potential to generate significant near-term revenue. The Company’s strategy encompasses licensing arrangements, joint ventures, or combinations which could allow for more rapid access to the market with reduced capital requirements and financial risk. Some partner companies may provide production and distribution infrastructure, which could streamline testing and certification as well as add brand recognition. Once the Company establishes sufficient production capabilities, the advanced materials may be sold as standalone products, enhancements to existing products, or used in the development of proprietary products under new trademarked brands owned by the Company. The Company is exploring manufacturing and branding opportunities for specific products derived from advanced materials acquired or developed, which would involve setting up production facilities, equipment, systems and supply chains.
Throughout the second half of 2023, Xeriant began developing its own advanced materials, including proprietary flame-retardant technology for polymers contained in recycled materials. The Company also began testing a number of production processes to manufacture its eco-friendly, patent pending, composite construction panel called NEXBOARD™ that can be competitive in the market and produced at industrial scale. Xeriant intends to initially manufacture these wallboards through a contract manufacturer to meet current existing demand indicated by several homebuilders and developers. NEXBOARD will be available in varying thicknesses and sizes, including standard 48” x 96” sheets. The Company will need to have this product certified for use in the construction industry, which is in process. If Xeriant decides to set up its own manufacturing facilities it will need to raise significant capital, which may or may not be available depending on market conditions and other factors.

On August 12, 2022, the Company filed a trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for “NEXBOARD,” with respect to construction panels, namely, composite sheets and panels composed primarily of plastic, reinforcement materials and fire-retardant chemicals for use in walls, ceilings, flooring, framing, siding, roofing and decking. The trademark filing was intentionally broad and based upon demand for a general all-purpose construction panel made from a mixture of fire-retardant and recycled materials. Xeriant has also filed a trademark application for “DUREVER™.”
On March 31, 2023, the Company filed a provisional patent application titled “Multilayered Fire-Resistant Polymer Composite and Method for Producing Same,” for a method of producing a unique fire-resistant thermoplastic and fiber composite material which may be formed or shaped into various construction products of different thicknesses and dimensions. This green material will be composed primarily of recycled plastic, cellulose and ecofriendly fire-retardant chemicals, including but not limited to use in walls, ceilings, flooring, framing, siding, roofing, molding, and decking, used in construction. On April 1, 2024, the Company filed a non-provisional U.S. patent application claiming priority to the filing date of the 2023 related provisional patent application described herein. Subject to available capital, the Company is planning to build manufacturing facilities in the United States for the production of NEXBOARD™ in order to meet market demand, or alternatively license the technology and process. The Company has identified companies for near-term contract manufacturing, has potential locations identified for a pilot plant and larger manufacturing facilities, received bids for specialized manufacturing equipment, developed timetables related to the action plan, and selected a managing director with decades of experience who would like to oversee the startup of production, expansion and operations.
Aerospace
The Company seeks to develop or acquire and commercialize disruptive, high-growth-potential technologies in aerospace, including next-generation air and spacecraft, that have potential applications in other industries. The areas of focus that are reshaping the future of aerospace include advanced materials, advanced air mobility, unmanned aerial systems, AI, hypersonics, communications, cybersecurity, satellites, and renewable energy technology. The Company’s initial concentration was on the emerging aviation market called advanced air mobility (AAM), the transition to more efficient, eco-friendly, automated and convenient flight operations, enabled by the convergence of technological advancements in design and engineering, composite materials, propulsion systems, battery energy density and manufacturing processes. Next-generation aircraft being developed for this market offer low-cost, on-demand flight for passengers and cargo, utilizing lower altitude airspace and bypassing the traditional hub-and-spoke airport network with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities. Many of these lightweight aircraft are electrically powered through either hybrid or pure battery systems, which allows for quieter, low emission flights over urban areas, however with limited speed and range. Hydrogen powered aircraft have already been prototyped and are expected to become more prevalent over the next decade. The development of solid-state hydrogen technology may address the safety, large-area storage requirement limitations for gaseous-state hydrogen. The Company plans to partner with and acquire strategic interests in visionary companies that accelerate our mission of commercializing critical breakthrough aerospace technologies which enhance sustainability, performance, and safety.
Effective May 31, 2021, the Company entered into a 50/50 Joint Venture Agreement with XTI Aircraft Company (“XTI”), for the purpose of completing the preliminary design review (“PDR”) of XTI’s TriFan 600, a 5-passenger plus pilot, hybrid electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing aircraft. The aircraft’s unique design elements along with the $1 billion in pre-orders and reservations, enticed Xeriant to invest $5.5 million to complete the PDR, which was accomplished in the first quarter of 2022 according to XTI. The TriFan 600 was purported to become the fastest, longest-range VTOL aircraft in the world and the first commercial fixed-wing VTOL airplane. According to recent public disclosures by XTI, pre-orders and reservations of the TriFan 600 total approximately $7 billion. On May 17, 2022, Xeriant signed a Letter Agreement with XTI related to the introduction of XTI to Inpixon, a Nasdaq-listed company. Under this Letter Agreement, if there was a combination or other transaction between XTI and Inpixon, Xeriant would receive compensation of 6 percent of XTI fully diluted pre-merger shares, and XTI would assume the obligations of Xeriant’s Senior Secured Note with Auctus Fund, LLC.
In the area of aerospace, management believes that Xeriant can grow expeditiously by acquiring technology and assets primarily through acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic investments, and licensing arrangements. As a publicly traded company, the Company offers partner companies such benefits as improved access to capital, higher valuations and lower risk through the shared ownership of a diversified portfolio, while allowing these entities to maintain independence in their distinct operations to focus on their fields of expertise. Cost savings and efficiencies may be realized from sharing non-operational functions such as finance, legal, tax, sales & marketing, human resources, purchasing power, as well as investor and public relations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company, American Aviation Technologies, LLC and BlueGreen Composites, LLC, its subsidiaries, are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in US dollars. The fiscal year end is June 30.
Going Concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $
F-9 |
Table of Contents |
Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; however, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xeriant, Inc., American Aviation Technologies, LLC and BlueGreen Composites, LLC. The Company owns a
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of warrants associated with convertible debt. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The inputs to the valuation methodology of stock options and warrants were under level 3 fair value measurements.
F-10 |
Table of Contents |
ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. 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 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no impairments.
Convertible Debentures
The Company adheres to the guidance in Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity on July 1, 2022. ASU 2020-06 simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and its application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in its own equity. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 removes the requirements for accounting for beneficial conversion features.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity incentive awards based on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock options granted to employees or consultants. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $
F-11 |
Table of Contents |
Leases
The Company accounts for leases under ASU 2016-02. At the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is presented in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as rent expense.
Finance leases are recorded as a finance lease liability and property and equipment asset, based on the present value of lease payments. The asset is depreciated, and the liability is amortized with interest expense incurred over the life of the lease.
As permitted under the new guidance, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions of the guidance to short term leases (leases with a lease term of twelve months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Investments
The Company follows ASC 325-20, Cost Method Investments, to account for its ownership interest in noncontrolled entities. Under ASC 325-20, equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values (i.e., non-marketable equity securities) and are not required to be accounted for under the equity method are typically carried at cost (i.e., cost method investments). Investments of this nature are initially recorded at cost. Income is recorded for dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the noncontrolled entity subsequent to the date of investment. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions in the cost of the investment. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.
Research and Development Expenses
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $
Advertising and Marketing Expenses
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. The Company recorded advertising expenses in the amount of $
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is more likely than not of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and administrative expenses. The Company’s consolidated federal tax return and any state tax returns are not currently under examination.
F-12 |
Table of Contents |
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The following potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive:

NOTE 3 – JOINT VENTURE
Joint Venture with XTI Aircraft
Effective May 31, 2021, Xeriant entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”) with XTI Aircraft Company (“XTI”), a Delaware corporation, to form a joint venture with XTI (the “XTI JV”), named Eco-Aero, LLC, with the purpose of completing the preliminary design review (“PDR”) of XTI’s TriFan 600, a 5-passenger plus pilot, hybrid electric, eVTOL fixed wing aircraft. Under the Agreement, Xeriant contributed capital, technology, and strategic business relationships, and XTI contributed intellectual property licensing rights and know-how. XTI and the Company each own
On May 17, 2022, Xeriant signed a Letter Agreement with XTI related to the introduction of XTI to Inpixon, a Nasdaq-listed company. Under this Letter Agreement, if there was a combination or other transaction between XTI and Inpixon, Xeriant would receive compensation of 6 percent of XTI fully diluted pre-merger shares, and XTI would assume the obligations of Xeriant’s Senior Secured Note with Auctus Fund, LLC. On May 31, 2023, the joint venture was terminated according to an Acceleration Event, which was 24 months from the start of the joint venture. On June 5, 2023, after suspecting that the obligations under the Letter Agreement were possibly being evaded, the Company transmitted a formal demand letter to XTI requesting compliance with the provisions outlined in the Letter Agreement, and in accordance with section 8 of the JV Agreement with XTI. On July 25, 2023, Inpixon
The Company analyzed the transaction under ASC 810, Consolidation, to determine if the joint venture classifies as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). The JV qualifies as a VIE based on the fact the JV does not have sufficient equity to operate without financial support from Xeriant. According to ASC 810-25-38, a reporting entity shall consolidate a VIE when that reporting entity has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) that provides the reporting entity with a controlling financial interest on the basis of the provisions in paragraphs 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J. The reporting entity that consolidates a VIE is called the primary beneficiary of that VIE. According to the JV operating agreement, the ownership interests are 50/50. However, the agreement provides for a Management Committee of five members. Three of the five members are from Xeriant. Additionally, Xeriant had a right to invest up to $
The Company includes the assets and liabilities related to the VIE in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Xeriant, Inc. provides cash to the VIE to fund its operations.

Joint Venture with XTI Aircraft
On May 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”) with XTI Aircraft Company (“XTI”), a Delaware corporation, to form a joint venture with XTI (the “XTI JV”), named Eco-Aero, LLC, with the purpose of completing the preliminary design review (“PDR”) of XTI’s TriFan 600, a 5-passenger plus pilot, hybrid electric, eVTOL fixed wing aircraft. Under the Agreement, Xeriant would contribute capital, technology, and strategic business relationships, and XTI contributed intellectual property licensing rights and know-how. XTI and the Company each owned 50 percent of the XTI JV and would be managed by a management committee consisting of five members, three appointed by Xeriant and two by XTI. The Company invested approximately $5.5 million into the joint venture after borrowing the funds from Auctus Fund LLC (“Auctus”) through a Senior Secured Promissory Note, through an introduction from Maxim Group, LLC, the Company’s investment banker at the time. The borrowed funds from Auctus were intended to be a bridge loan that would be resolved through an IPO (Initial Public Offering) and uplist to Nasdaq in a merger with XTI, which did not occur because XTI refused to move forward with the merger. The PDR was completed during the first quarter of 2022 according to XTI.
On May 17, 2022, after failed merger negotiations, the Company entered into a confidential Letter Agreement with XTI whereby Xeriant would receive compensation for introducing Inpixon, a Nasdaq-listed company, to XTI for a combination or any other transaction. Should a combination or any other transaction occur, the compensation due to Xeriant would include a six percent (6%) fully diluted interest in XTI upon dissolution of its Joint Venture with Xeriant, and XTI would assume Xeriant’s obligations under its Senior Secured Note with Auctus.
On June 5, 2023, after suspecting that the obligations under the Letter Agreement were possibly being evaded, the Company transmitted a formal demand letter to XTI requesting compliance with the provisions outlined in the Letter Agreement, and in accordance with section 8 of the JV Agreement with XTI.
On July 25, 2023, Inpixon filed an 8-K announcing that they had signed an Agreement of Plan and Merger with XTI. Despite the Company’s pivotal role in facilitating this merger, as memorialized in a formal agreement, XTI repeatedly publicly disclaimed any obligation to compensate Xeriant.
On December 6, 2023, the Company initiated legal proceedings against XTI. See Litigation section below for a summary of the related legal proceedings.

Litigation
On October 19, 2023, Xeriant filed a complaint in the United States Southern District of New York (Case no.1:23-cv-09200) against Auctus Fund LLC, to invalidate allegedly illegally designed contractual agreements, including contesting the enforceability of the related note and amendments, and to set aside improper and unlawful securities transactions effectuated in violation of Section 15(a)(1) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. § 78o(a)(1)) by the Defendant, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims. On February 9, 2024, the case was dismissed. The Company filed a Notice of Civil Appeal on March 13, 2024, primarily based on public welfare because of the pending litigation between the SEC and Auctus Fund Management, LLC, which complaint was filed on June 1, 2023. On June 19, 2024, the Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Case no. 24-682-cv), which is still pending. The foregoing descriptions of the legal actions do not purport to be complete and are subject in their entirety by the full text of the court filings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. On September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the Company had $300,002 and $653,117 in cash, respectively, and $8,532,513 and $8,661,248 in negative working capital, respectively. On September 30, 2024, the principal balance of the Auctus Senior Secured Promissory Note was $5,850,000. The Note matured on March 15, 2023, and the company has been in discussions with Auctus to resolve the liability. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a net loss of $372,222 and $342,012, respectively. Continued losses may adversely affect the liquidity of the Company in the future. Therefore, the factors noted above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. To implement its business plan, the Company must raise sufficient funds in the form of equity, debt, or a combination thereof. Until the Company develops profitable operations, it is dependent upon management continually raising funds.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s operating activities used $353,095 of net cash used compared to using $308,127 of net cash used in our operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This difference primarily related to stock issued for services in the current period. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, our investing activities were $0 compared to $139,947 of net cash used in our investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This difference related to cash issued for notes receivable during the three months September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, our financing activities were $0 compared to $411,000 of net cash added in our financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This difference related to the issuance of convertible notes during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Funding Strategy
To date, our operations have been funded primarily through private investors. Some of these investors have verbally committed additional funding for the Company, as needed. We have had a number of discussions with broker-dealers regarding the funding required to execute the Company’s business plan, which is to acquire and develop breakthrough technologies or business interests in those companies that have developed these technologies. We plan on issuing an offering document to obtain funding for certain acquisitions that are in the discussion stages.
Off Balance Sheet Items
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities (see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the notes to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 contained in this filing). On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. The Company bases our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates based upon different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates are reasonable.
Management is aware that certain changes in accounting estimates employed in generating financial statements can have the effect of making the Company look more or less profitable than it actually is. Management does not believe that the Company has made any such changes in accounting estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, the Company has elected not to provide the disclosure required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Registrant files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures must ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial and other required disclosures.
At September 30, 2024, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Exchange Act) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Keith Duffy our Chief Executive Officer and Brian Carey our Chief Financial Officer. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, they concluded that at September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
