CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this "Report") for the Company, contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, in the sections captioned "Item 1. Business" and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," as well as elsewhere in this Report. Any and all statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Terms such as "may," "might," "would," "should," "could," "project," "estimate," "pro-forma," "predict," "potential," "strategy," "anticipate," "attempt," "develop," "plan," "help," "believe," "continue," "intend," "expect," "future" and terms of similar import (including the negative of any of the foregoing) may be intended to identify forward-looking statements. Not all forward-looking statements, however, may contain one or more of these identifying terms. Forward-looking statements in this Report may include, without limitation, statements regarding (i) the plans and objectives of management for future operations; (ii) a projection of income, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial items; (iii) the Company's future financial performance, including any such statement contained in a discussion and analysis of financial condition by management or in the results of operations included pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"); and (iv) the assumptions underlying or relating thereto.
The forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance and are not meant to predict or guarantee actual results, performance, events, or circumstances. Instead, they are based upon the Company's current projections, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company's control. Actual results, the timing of certain events and circumstances, and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward- looking statements because of the risks and uncertainties related to them. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this Report is based only on information currently available to the Company and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

PART I
Item 1. Business.
Background
Leopard Energy (f/k/a Cyber Apps World Inc.) was incorporated on July 15, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada and engaged in a number of businesses until April 9, 2015, at which we merged with our wholly owned subsidiary Cyber Apps World Inc. and concurrently changed our name to Cyber Apps World Inc. At the time of the merger, we shifted our business focused to the development of mobile applications focusing on allowing users around the world to save money on products and services from member merchants and suppliers instantly with mobile coupons, using their desktops and/or mobile devices, including smartphones.
On July 6, 2023, JanBella Group, LLC ("JanBella Group"), a family office, acquired 100,000 outstanding shares of Super A Voting Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Shares") in satisfaction of a promissory note made by the Company in favor of JanBella Group. The Series A Preferred Shares had been pledged to secure a note made by the Company to JanBella. Thereupon, Mohammed Irfan Raimiya Kazi, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a director and Kateryna Malenko, the Company's Secretary and a director, resigned as officers and directors of the Company and William Alessi, an affiliate of JanBella Group, was appointed the sole officer and director of the Company. The Series A Preferred Shares entitle the holder thereof to 99.97% of the voting power of the Company.
On August 23, 2023, JanBella Group sold the Series A Preferred Shares to Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith Energy"). Zenith Energy is a publicly held British Columbia corporation based in Vancouver, B.C., engaged in energy production projects on three continents, whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange, Euronext Oslo and the Pink tier of the over-the-counter market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc..
In the change in control transaction, Zenith Energy acquired the 100,000 Series A Preferred Shares, representing 99.87% of the voting power of the Company, from JanBella for consideration of approximately $398,400. As part of the transaction, William Alessi, the sole officer and director of the Company, appointed Luca Benedetto, Ippolito Cattaneo, and Dario Sodero as directors of the Company. Thereafter, Mr. Alessi resigned as the Company's sole director and officer.
In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Luca Benedetto was appointed President and Treasurer of the Company and Mr. Ippolito Cattaneo was appointed as the Company's Secretary.
On March 6, 2024, Ippolito Cattaneo stepped down as Secretary and a director of the Company.
Following the change in control transaction, the Company began shifting its business focus to acquiring energy production and development opportunities in the U.S.
On January 17, 2024, the Company purchased a 5% royalty interest in a package of seven (7) producing oil wells located in the Eagle Ford Shale, Lavaca County, Texas (the "Eagle Acquisition").
The Eagle Acquisition is the Company's first transaction in the U.S. energy production and development sector. The Company intends to complete additional acquisitions of this kind in the near future and continue its focus on the U.S. energy sector.
Effective April 26, 2024, the Company changed its name in Leopard Energy, Inc.
Since completion of the change in control transaction, in August 2023, Zenith Energy, our controlling stockholder, has provided $325,759 capital in the form of payment made on behalf of the Company and $45,000 paid in capital in cash. Zenith Energy has indicated that intends to continue to finance the Company and its expansion into the energy sector, to acquire additional royalties and/or ownership interest, pending the receipt of additional financing.

Competition
The U.S. market for the acquisition of energy production and development opportunities is highly competitive. There are numerous firms and individuals engaged in the business, many of whom have longer operating histories and greater financial resources than we do. We believe that we can compete effectively based upon the energy sector experience of our executive officers and our controlling stockholders, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
Employees
As of the date of this Report, we have no employees, other than our executive officers. We have retained independent consultants and contractors who are presently completing the necessary additional development of our products.

As a "smaller reporting company," we are not required to provide this Item.

PART II

Market Information

We had no revenues for the year ended July 31, 2023.
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, the Company incurred operating expenses of $286,729, as compared to expenses of $139,430 during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023. The majority of the expenses consisted of general and administrative expenses, which includes professional services.
For the year ended July 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $252,803, primarily to professional services under general and administrative expenses. All the expenses were paid by our controlling stockholder Zenith Energy, who renounced to its credit.
Our net loss of $148,894 for the year ended July 31, 2023, consisted entirely of general and administrative expenses.

Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. As of July 31, 2024, we have incurred losses of $11,708,450. In addition, as of July 31, 2024 our current liabilities exceed our current assets by $217,770. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue operating as a going concern. Our ability to continue our operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of our assets, and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon our ability to raise capital sufficient to fund our commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generate profitable operations.
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other methods, the sale of equity or debt securities. In addition, Zenith Energy, our controlling stockholder has advised us that intends to provide the Company with working capital to fund operations and acquisitions, pending receipt of additional funding.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To: |
The Shareholders and the Board of Directors of |
Leopard Energy, Inc. |
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Leopard Energy, Inc and its Subsidiaries (collectively, "the Company") as of July 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred substantial losses during the years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit. Accordingly, these factors give rise to substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management closely monitors the Company's financial position and has prepared a plan that is found in Note 1 that addresses this substantial doubt. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal controls over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LEOPARD ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2024
Note 1. Organization and Business Description
Leopard Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Collectively, the "Company"), was historically engaged in the development of mobile applications focusing on allowing users around the world to save money on products and services from member merchants and suppliers instantly with mobile coupons, using their desktops and/or mobile devices, including smartphones. The Company have not been successful in developing revenue from these operations in its operating history.
Since the transfer of its controlling interest in August 2023, the Company redirect its business into the energy sector, mainly aiming at investment in royalty interest of energy related petrol and mineral production.
The Company has filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the "Amendment") with the Secretary of State of Nevada, changing its name from "Cyber Apps World Inc." to "Leopard Energy, Inc." effective April 26, 2024.
The financial statements and notes are the representations of management. These accounting policies conform to accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
On August 23, 2023, the original shareholder JanBella Group sold the Series A Preferred Shares to Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith Energy"). Zenith Energy is a British Columbia corporation based in Vancouver, B.C., engaged in energy production projects on three continents, whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Oslo. In connection with the share and purchase agreement, it was agreed between the parties that part of the purchase price paid by Zenith would be used by JanBella to settle some outstanding liabilities of Leopard Energy, as it happened. Along with the transition of interest, certain debtors agreed to partially write off their debt due from the company upon partial payment made by JanBella.
This resulted in the following gain from write-off of liabilities

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The Company's functional currency is the USD.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances, if any, are eliminated upon consolidation.
A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.
Going Concern
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue audited as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As reflected in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements the Company had a loss of $252,803 and $148,894 during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had accumulated deficit of $11,724,950 and a working capital deficit of $236,917. Management believes these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
Management recognized that the Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing and revenue to cover expenses as the Company continues to incur losses. Management monitors and analyzes the Company's cash on-hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future, and its operating and capital expenditure commitments.
Since its incorporation, the Company has financed its operations through advances from its controlling shareholders, third-party convertible debt, and the sale of its common stock. Management's plans are to finance operations through the sale of equity or other investments for the foreseeable future, as the Company does not receive significant revenue from its business operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in arranging financing on acceptable terms.
The Company's ability to raise additional capital is affected by trends and uncertainties beyond its control. The Company does not currently have any arrangements for financing, and it may not be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor sentiment. Market factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to it.
Since the transfer of controlling interest in August 2023, Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith Energy"), the Company's controlling stockholder, has provided approximately $370,759 capital in the form of payment made on behalf of the Company. Zenith Energy has indicated that intends to continue to finance the Company and its expansion into the energy sector, to acquire additional royalties and/or ownership interest, pending the receipt of additional financing.
To sustain its ability to support the Company's operating activities, the Company may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources: (1) cash generated from upcoming operations; (2) new bank loans , (3) financial support from the Company's shareholder and related party. Based on the above analysis, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company can meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the reporting date and can continue as a going concern.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited to allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives and impairment of long-lived asset, and impairment of royalty interests acquired. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk in cash.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 157 Fair Value Measurements) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as the following:
· |
Level 1-defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
· |
Level 2-defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
· |
Level 3-defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Financial assets and liabilities of the Company primarily consisted of cash, prepayments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the carrying amount of the financial instruments generally approximate their fair market values based on the short- term maturity of these instruments. ASC 825-10 "Financial Instruments" allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.
The Company's non-financial assets would be measured at fair value only if they were determined to be impaired.

Table of Contents |
Impairment of Long-Lived assets
The Company reviews its Long-Lived assets for potential impairment whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the guidance in ASC 360-15-35 "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." An impairment exists when the carrying amount of the long-lived assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If an impairment exists, the resulting write-down would be the difference between the fair market value of the long-lived asset and the related net book value. There is no impairment of long-lived assets in the year ended July 31,2024.
Royalty Interests
On January 17, 2024, the Company made investment in the 5% royalty interest in a package of seven (7) producing oil wells located in the Eagle Ford Shale, Lavaca County, Texas (the "Eagle Acquisition") at a cost of $39,280. The operating rights of the wells are leased to licensed operators (oil and gas companies) through agreements that grant the operator the right to explore, drill, and produce oil or gas, and the royalty interest is a financial share of production paid to the well rights owner. The agreements do not include a specific expiry date because they are tied to the production lifespan of the operation lease or agreement. The lease may expire if production ceases, but as long as the well is productive, the rights remain in effect under a concept known as "Held by Production" (HBP). Under the HBP system, once a well begins production, the lease remains valid as long as the production continues and so as the royalty interests. The rights endure for the lifetime of the well, providing economic security for both the rights holder and the operator. If production ceases or drops below commercial levels, the lease may terminate unless further development or operations occur. As a result, the Company do not recognize any amortization expenses.
Royalty interests acquired are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Valuations are periodically performed or obtained by management whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairments, if any, are recorded by a charge to net income and a valuation allowance if the carrying value of the royalty interest exceeds its estimated fair value. There was no depletion expense for the year ended July 31, 2024.

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The revenue recognition principle of ASC 606 requires that revenue is recognized when the delivery of promised goods or services matches the amount expected by the company in exchange for the goods or services.
There are five steps needed to satisfy the updated revenue recognition principle:
1. |
Identify the contract with the customer. This involves agreeing on the terms of the contract, including payment, the delivery of goods and services, and consequences if any obligations aren't met. Contracts may come in written form or may begin as verbal agreements. |
|
2. |
Identify contractual performance obligations. In this case, it's important to outline the specific goods or services behind the agreement. |
|
3. |
Determine the amount of consideration/price for the transaction. This isn't just about the price of goods and services but also includes other factors, such as discounts, return policies, and additional fees. |
|
4. |
Allocate the determined amount of consideration/price to the contractual obligations. This step involves any specific selling price to every single obligation. |
|
5. |
Recognize revenue when the performing party satisfies the performance obligation. This should only be done once the transaction is complete and your obligation is fulfilled. Revenue can only be recognized once this is done. |
The Company is operating in royal interests' investment in oil and gas production industry and generate revenue from royalty interest distribution. The Company owns a royalty interest on wells production and is entitled with portion of revenue share without having to incur the operational expenses associated with extracting or producing the resource.
Well operating royalty interests distribution are reported point in time and net of production taxes when the drip condensate, crude oil, gas and plant products are produced from the respective well by the well operator, the operator distribute the Company's share of interests according to agreed proportion. Royalty interest payments are generally received at the subsequent month of the production made.
During the financial year ended July 31, 2024, the Company recognizes monthly revenues from the investment in the 5% royalty interest in a package of seven (7) producing oil wells located in the Eagle Ford Shale, Lavaca County, Texas (the "Eagle Acquisition"), acquired on January 17, 2024, that resulted in a yearly amount of $ 4,429.
During the previous financial year 2023, the Company had no revenues generation.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 "Earnings per share". The Company's basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the assumption that any dilutive options or warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, the Company's outstanding convertible notes are assumed to be exercised, and funds thus obtained were assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented.
F-10 |
Table of Contents |
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing loss bear by common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.
For the years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the statutory marginal income tax rate in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the deferred income tax assets or liabilities from period to period. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires, among other things, additional disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The expanded annual disclosures are effective for the Company's year ending December 31, 2023. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, consisting of Andrea Cattaneo, our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Luca Benedetto, our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2024. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting as set forth below, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive financial officers and accounting officers effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Table of Contents |
As of July 31, 2024, our chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in 2013 and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, we believe that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
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 and a lack of independent directors on our board of directors, 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. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of July 31, 20234
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 independent 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 in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of the year ended July 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
