NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the three months ended January 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on information available when the financial statements are prepared.
12 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, the Company did not hold any investments that qualify as cash equivalents. Therefore, the cash and cash equivalents line item in the balance sheet solely comprises cash.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires that the cost of equity instrument awards, issued in exchange for services, including those issued to employees and predominantly to consultants, be measured at the grant-date fair value. The Company does not adhere to a formal stock-based compensation plan; rather, it issues stock awards on a discretionary basis as part of compensation agreements with selected consultants and employees. Compensation for stock-based awards is recognized as a non-cash expense on the income statement. The expense associated with these awards is recorded based on the fair value on the date of grant, as determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. This cost is recognized over the period during which the award recipient is required to perform services, typically known as the vesting period. The total compensation cost related to vested stock-based awards is recognized after adjusting for estimated forfeitures at the time of vesting. The expense related to stock-based compensation is included within the same income statement lines as cash compensation for the consultants and employees who receive the awards. As of the report date, the Company has not established any plans to issue dividends on stock-based awards. Any tax benefits arising from deductions for these awards are recorded in additional paid-in capital, provided they exceed the cumulative compensation cost recognized.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard's stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
During the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not generate any revenue.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average.
Number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost and, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposal. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
The Company's property and equipment mainly consists of computer and laser equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
13 |
Useful life | ||
Small equipment | 3Years | |
Large equipment | 7Years | |
Vehicles | 4Years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). At contract inception, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease. Where the Company is the lessee, for each lease with a term greater than twelve months, the Company records a right-of-use asset and lease liability. A right-of-use asset represents the economic benefit conveyed to the Company by the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. A lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the use of the asset over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Balance Sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2024-01, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards." This update clarifies the accounting for profits interest awards by specifying when these awards should be accounted for under ASC 718, Stock Compensation, as opposed to other compensation arrangements like cash bonuses under ASC 710. This clarification is provided through a series of illustrative examples which show how to determine whether profits interest awards meet the conditions of ASC 718, focusing on when such awards should be recognized as equity or liability. The guidance is intended to increase the comparability and consistency of financial reporting by providing clearer criteria for the accounting of profits interest awards.
For public companies, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For private companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements and will continue to assess its potential effects as the adoption date approaches.
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
On January 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $44,960,664. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships, or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support operations.
Based on the above factors, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
14 |
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6 - LEASES
Operating leases
The Company has an operating lease agreement for office space in Murrieta, California, expiring on November 30, 2026.
On November 18, 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease with the landlord, Demarius Holdings, Inc., commencing on December 1, 2020, and ending on November 30, 2023, for the office spaces located at 41558 Eastman Drive, Suites B and C, Murrieta, California 92562. The monthly rent was $4,183. Both suites are approximately 2,088 square feet of space. The Company's principal executive office is located at 41558 Eastman Drive, Suite B, Murrieta, California 92562. Suite C is utilized for testing and research equipment.
On November 14, 2023, the lease for Suite B was extended for 36 months to November 30, 2026. The monthly rental amount for Suite B is $2,501 for the period from December 1, 2023, to November 30, 2024, with an increase to $2,573 for the period from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025, and an increase to $2,647 for the period from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2026.
On January 4, 2024, the lease for Suite C was extended for 34 months to November 30, 2026. The monthly rental amount for Suite C is $2,434 for the period from February 1, 2024, to November 30, 2024, with an increase to $2,506 for the period from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025, and an increase to $2,555 for the period from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2026.
The Company has active operating lease arrangements for office space. The Company is typically required to make fixed minimum rent payments relating to its right to use the underlying leased assets. The Company was required to classify such leases as operating leases in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842. Therefore, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities with corresponding Right-Of-Use ("ROU") assets based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such leases.
As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. As of January 31, 2025, the right-of-use asset was $107,740and operating lease liabilities were $109,286. The operating lease liabilities consist of a current portion of $58,041and a non-current portion of $51,245. The weighted average remaining lease term was 1.83years and the weighted average discount rate was 4.14%.

NOTE 11 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: PROTOTYPE COMPACT HYDROGEN REFUELING STATION (CHRS)
On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (the "SAFE") with Varea, Inc. ("Varea"), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the SAFE, the Company is investing $500,000(the "Purchase Amount") in Varea in exchange for the right to certain shares of Varea's Capital Stock. The agreement specifies that the Purchase Amount will be used for the Company's business operations over the next 12 months, subject to an agreed-upon budget.
Prior to entering into this SAFE, the Company had an existing financial arrangement with Varea LLC, whereby Varea LLC invoiced the Company for services rendered, which were recorded as expenses by HNOI. However, recognizing the potential for a more mutually beneficial arrangement, Varea Inc. proposed a revised approach. Under the newly proposed approach, Varea Inc. would submit a detailed budget outlining their anticipated monthly expenses, and HNO International, Inc. would view these expenses as an investment opportunity rather than mere costs. In exchange for funding Varea Inc.'s expenses, HNO International, Inc. would receive a post-money SAFE, which represents a future right to certain shares of Varea's Capital Stock. The transition from the previous invoicing system to the investment-based financial arrangement was agreed by both parties. The terms and conditions of the agreement, including the conversion of expenses into a potential future return on investment, were thoroughly assessed and discussed.
On December 6, 2023, the SAFE was terminated as part of a Mutual Release Agreement between HNO International, Inc., and Varea, Inc. Under the terms of this Mutual Release Agreement, the intellectual property related to the prototype Compact Hydrogen Refueling Station (CHRS), developed with the funds provided under the SAFE, was retained by HNO International, Inc.
The balance of the SAFE on December 6, 2023, was $136,725. Following the termination of the SAFE, the amount previously recorded under the SAFE was reclassified, and the intellectual property associated with the CHRS is now fully owned and recognized as a long-term intangible asset on HNO International, Inc.'s balance sheet. This long-term asset is solely the intellectual property associated with the CHRS and does not include any physical equipment.

Amortization
The intellectual property associated with the CHRS is being amortized over a useful life of five years, beginning on December 6, 2023. The amortization expense for the three months ended January 31, 2025 is $6,836, recognizing the straight-line amortization of the asset over the remaining useful life.

Results of Operations
For the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024
Revenue
For the three months ended January 31, 2025 and January 31, 2024, we generated no revenue.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2025, were $627,406 compared to $500,441 for the same period in 2024. This increase is attributable to the Company's efforts to expand operations.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2025, was $634,338 compared to a net loss of $507,073 during the same period in 2024.
General and Administrative, and Contract Labor Expenses
General and Administrative, and Contract Labor expenses were $302,105 for the three months ended January 31, 2025, as compared to $464,005 during the same period in 2024. Operating expenses changed due to the Company's efforts to streamline operations and reduce overhead costs.
Forward-Looking Considerations
The Company recognizes the possibility of future increases in labor or material costs. Factors such as evolving market conditions, potential inflation, and global economic dynamics are considered. We are actively monitoring these aspects to anticipate and navigate any forthcoming rises in labor or material expenses.
Cost-to-Revenue - The Company is assessing alterations in the relationship between cost of sales and revenue. We are examining the factors influencing these changes, including shifts in prices and fluctuations in the volume of services sold. Understanding the impact of these elements is crucial for maintaining a balanced and effective cost-to-revenue structure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We incurred a net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2025 of $634,338 and had an accumulated deficit of $44,960,664 at January 31, 2025. At January 31, 2025, we had a cash balance of $47,900, compared to a cash balance of $20,255 at October 31, 2024. At January 31, 2025, the working capital deficit was $2,448,140, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,969,965 at October 31, 2024. Our existing and available capital resources are not expected to be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through one year from the date of this filing in the absence of share issuances or other sources of financing.
22 |
We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. We have raised capital through sales of common stock and debt securities.
The effect of existing or probable government regulations on our business is not known at this time. Due to the nature of our business, it is anticipated that there may be increasing government regulation that may cause us to have to take serious corrective actions or make changes to the business plan.
There are no external sources of liquidity available to the Company at this time. The Company will need to raise additional capital through equity financings or other means in order to continue operations and meet its obligations. Failure to obtain additional funding could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the results of operations.
Cash Flow
For the Three months Ended January 31, 2025 and 2023
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated below:
For the Three months Ended January 31, 2025 |
For the Three months Ended January 31, 2024 |
|||||||
Cash Used in Operating Activities | $ | (168,402 | ) | $ | (496,703 | ) | ||
Cash Provided by Financing Activities | 374,000 | 491,085 | ||||||
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (177,943 | ) | $ | (160,739 | ) |
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the three months ended January 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities amounted to $(168,412), primarily reflecting our net loss of $(634,338). This impact was partially offset by non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $54,449 and share-based compensation totaling $265,502. Additionally, there was an increase in accounts payable of $121,146, an increase in accrued payroll of $17,476, and an increase in accrued interest payable of $6,931.
During the three months ended January 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities totaled $(496,703), primarily reflecting our net loss of $(507,073). This was offset by non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization amounting to $36,436. Additionally, there was an increase in accrued interest payable and a decrease in payroll taxes, contributing to the overall cash movements during the period.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
During the three months ended January 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $374,000, which consisted of proceeds from related party advances of $359,000, proceeds from the sale of common stock and proceeds from the sale of common stock of $15,000.
During the three months ended January 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $491,085, which consisted of proceeds from related party advances of $365,585 and proceeds from the sale of common stock of $125,500.
Cash Provided by Investing Activities
During the three months ended January 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $(177,943), which consisted of the purchase of property and equipment and long-term assets.
During the three months ended January 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $(160,739), which consisted of the purchase of plant and equipment and the purchase long term asset.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended January 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $634,338 and used cash in operating activities of $168,412, and on January 31, 2025, had stockholders' deficit of $1,751,227. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and the classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
23 |
Management is actively seeking additional sources of capital through the sale of equity, advances from related parties, and exploring strategic partnerships. The Company is also focused on attracting suitable investors to support its business plan without relying heavily on existing cash reserves. Additionally, management is implementing cost-saving measures and exploring opportunities to diversify through acquisitions or entering into new markets. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will result in sufficient funding, and the Company may continue to face substantial uncertainty regarding its ability to achieve profitable operations and sustain its business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires that the cost of equity instrument awards, issued in exchange for services, including those issued to employees and predominantly to consultants, be measured at the grant-date fair value. The Company does not adhere to a formal stock-based compensation plan; rather, it issues stock awards on a discretionary basis as part of compensation agreements with selected consultants and employees. Compensation for stock-based awards is recognized as a non-cash expense on the income statement. The expense associated with these awards is recorded based on the fair value on the date of grant, as determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. This cost is recognized over the period during which the award recipient is required to perform services, typically known as the vesting period. The total compensation cost related to vested stock-based awards is recognized after adjusting for estimated forfeitures at the time of vesting. The expense related to stock-based compensation is included within the same income statement lines as cash compensation for the consultants and employees who receive the awards. As of the report date, the Company has not established any plans to issue dividends on stock-based awards. Any tax benefits arising from deductions for these awards are recorded in additional paid-in capital, provided they exceed the cumulative compensation cost recognized.
DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Paragraph 815-15-25-1 the conversion feature and certain other features are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision, a penalty provision and redemption option, which are to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The Company records the resulting discount on debt related to the conversion features at initial transaction and amortizes the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The Company follows ASC Section 815-40-15 ("Section 815-40-15") to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company's own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
24 |
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then that the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
The Company utilizes the binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The binomial option pricing model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the remaining contractual term of the instrument granted.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard's stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2024-01, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards." This update clarifies the accounting for profits interest awards by specifying when these awards should be accounted for under ASC 718, Stock Compensation, as opposed to other compensation arrangements like cash bonuses under ASC 710. This clarification is provided through a series of illustrative examples which show how to determine whether profits interest awards meet the conditions of ASC 718, focusing on when such awards should be recognized as equity or liability. The guidance is intended to increase the comparability and consistency of financial reporting by providing clearer criteria for the accounting of profits interest awards.
For public companies, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For private companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements and will continue to assess its potential effects as the adoption date approaches.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a Smaller Reporting Company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our 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 simple error or mistake.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
