CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

●

financial risks, including:

	●	our history of losses, lack of revenues and insufficient working capital;
	●	our ability to continue as a going concern;
	●	our ability to raise capital;

●

business risks, including:

	●	our limited operating history and lack of products;
	●	the lack of operating history of Leap Technology LLC;
	●	the joint venture with the Barker Group/Firebird Manufactures remains to be finalized;
	●	potential conflicts of interest of our management;
	●	reliance on third parties;
	●	potential FDA oversight;
	●	lack of marketing and distributing experience;
	●	possible inability to establish and maintain strategic partnerships;
	●	possible dependence on licensing or collaboration agreements;

●

risks relating to our common stock, including:

	●	the lack of a public market for our common stock; and
	●	possible impact of Delaware’s anti-takeover statutes on our shareholders.

You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements, Part 1. Item 1A. Risk Factors appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed on April 15, 2024 (the “2023 10-K”) and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

~~June~~September 30, 2024

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

CQENS Technologies, Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”, “CQENS”) is a technology company with a proprietary method of heating plant-based consumable formulations that produce an aerosol that lead to the effective and efficient inhalation of the plant’s constituents. This is accomplished at a high temperature but without the accompanying constituents of combustion. Our system of heating is a high temperature, non-combustion system. Our Heat-not-Burn Tobacco Product (HTP) system is a patent-pending method of heating plant-based consumables for inhalation that is superior to other methods of ingestion, smoking, vaping, swallowing or via topical application.

On December 20, 2023 we entered into a Shareholder Agreement with Asahi Corporation to establish CQENS Electronics (Hong Kong) Limited (“CEL”), a Hong Kong company, for design, development and manufacture of our heat-not-burn device (“Device”). CQENS acquired 50% membership of CEL and holds majority of the board seats including the chair. Pursuant to the establishment of CEL, CQENS entered into an exclusive, worldwide License Agreement with CEL for designing and manufacturing a consumer device consistent with our IP. ~~Although the activities of~~ CEL ~~in the first half of 2024 are minimal, CEL~~ is included in our consolidated financial statements.

Our business model is further dependent upon our ability to enter into additional strategic partnerships in the future, including alliances or joint ventures with consumer product companies, to enhance and accelerate the development and commercialization of our proposed products. We will be dependent upon third party marketing and distribution companies. We believe that our business opportunities are international in nature and include potential partnerships in the UK, the EU and Asia, including the People’s Republic of China. The recent and relatively prolonged worldwide pandemic caused by COVID-19 and current recessionary conditions has caused certain of these opportunities to be delayed. Our product development and commercialization timelines have been reset and we expect to be able to adhere that schedule over the next 12 months provided we are able to successfully raise and deploy capital. Key milestones for us over these next 12 months include entering into international joint ventures, preparing and filing certain regulatory submissions with the US FDA, and undertaking market tests in the EU. Any prolonged recessionary pressures on the international capital markets will make it more difficult for small, pre-revenue companies such as ours to raise capital. We continue to assess the impact of any recessionary conditions on our company, and at this time, we are unable to predict all possible impacts on our company, our operations and our prospects.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation - The following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual consolidated financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, has been derived from the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements that were ~~audited~~ audited by our independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024, for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company has recurring losses, with limited cash resources, with renewed research and development efforts and with no source of revenue sufficient to cover its operations costs over the next 12 months these may not allow it to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In the first ~~half~~nine months of 2024, Liu Mei Chong loaned CQENS Electronics (Hong Kong) Limited $212,~~573~~359 to fund operations. The loan is due upon demand and is non-interest bearing. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024, the loan balance is $616,~~820~~606.

7Effective August 22, 2023, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property License Agreement with XTEN Capital Group Inc. (“XTEN”), the Company’s majority shareholder which is controlled by Alexander Chong, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Under the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, the Company has granted to XTEN a license for certain Company intellectual property (the “IP”) for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing and marketing a consumable containing cannabis (the “Alternative Market”) and distributing and marketing an exclusively conformed device consistent with the IP within the United States of America (the “Territory”). In lieu of royalties, XTEN will be required to purchase Company authorized devices and to lease and/or purchase the necessary equipment and supplies to manufacture consumables from the Company at prices to be mutually agreed upon which shall be at fair market and mutually acceptable. Furthermore, the license grants XTEN the right to sublicense the IP rights in the Territory for the Alternative Market provided the sublicensee agrees to purchase Company authorized devices and to lease and/or purchase the necessary equipment and supplies to manufacture consumables from the Company at prices to be mutually agreed upon which shall be at fair market. The term of the License Agreement is for a period of three years and automatically renews every three years, unless terminated by mutual agreement or by notice by either party of no less than six months. The License Agreement may also be terminated for cause (as defined under the License Agreement) by either party upon 30 day notice, with an opportunity to cure.

NOTE 5 – LEASES

In March 2022 we entered into a three-year lease agreement commencing April 15, 2022 through April 30, 2025 at an initial annual rate of $57,400 paid in monthly installments of $4,800. We have an option to extend for an additional five-year period. Annual increases are tied to the U.S. Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor for all Urban Consumers for San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area. Based on the aforementioned consumer price index, the annual increase to rent beginning May 1, 2023 was $375 bringing monthly installments to $5,175 and the annual rate to $62,100. On June 1, 2024, the monthly increase was $380 bringing monthly installments to $5,555 and the annual rate to $66,660.

We account for our leases under ASC 842, Leases, which requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected the expedients permitted under the transition guidance that retained lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard.

We categorized leases with terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance leases as of ~~June~~September 30, 2024. Our lease for property is for three years. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.

Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the lease. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term. When we have options to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with the operating lease are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.

The following table presents the lease-related asset and liability recorded on the balance sheets:

	June 30, 2024

NOTE 6 - PREPAID EXPENSE – NONCURRENT PORTION

Effective July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a manufacturing contract with Montrade S.p.A., (“Montrade”) a company based in Bologna, Italy, for Montrade to manufacture and install the consumable manufacturing equipment. The Company made an initial payment of $589,265 USD on July 11, 2022 and was required to make additional payments, prior to Amendments, of up to $1,086,465 USD for the module as certain stages are completed.

On February 23, 2023, the Company made a payment of $138,386 for completion of the design phase. On March 29, 2023, the Company signed Amendment 1 to the manufacturing contract for additional design work and paid $12,465 of the additional $36,809 cost. As Amendment 1 was for design work, the $12,465 was expensed. On October 18, 2023, the Company signed Amendment 2 to the manufacturing contract to modify certain components and paid $40,091 of the $114,546 cost.

In 2022, $130,948 of the initial payment was expensed for design services completed by Montrade. The remaining payment of $458,317 and the additional payment on October 24, 2023, for Amendment 2 of $40,091 for a combined total of $498,408 are related to the manufacturing of the module for the automated manufacture of consumables for the Company’s proprietary, patented and patent pending Heat-not-Burn system. These payments totaling $498,408 were recorded as prepaid expenses – noncurrent portion.

On February 26, 2024, the Company signed Amendment 3 to the manufacturing contract with Montrade, for a change to a component with a cost of $27,845.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and 2023 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information” appearing earlier in this report, Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors appearing in our 2023 10-K, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this report.

Overview

We are a technology company. We design and develop innovative methods to heat plant-based and/or medicant-infused formulations to produce aerosols for the efficient and efficacious inhalation of the plant and medicant constituents contained therein. We have two ways of accomplishing this: 1) at high temperatures via induction without combustion or the constituents of combustion; and 2) at low temperatures, where we heat an inert carrier, producing inhalable, medicant-infused aerosols while maintaining the integrity of the active ingredient(s).

Our high-temperature non-combusting technology is supported by 44 U.S. and international patents and pending patents. Among the applications of our patented and patent-pending technology are those for Heat-not-Burn (“HnB”) devices. Independent tests performed by an accredited lab on our system’s prototypes supported the benefits of rapid heating, confirmed non-combustion, even at high temperatures, and produced better toxicology results, greater than 99% better, when compared to products requiring combustion and compared to other non-combusting technologies currently on the market.

Our low-temperature, aerosolizing technology is supported by 31 U.S. and international patents and pending patents. This portfolio includes intellectual property around device designs and formulations containing a wide variety of herbal and pharmaceutical preparations. The development stage devices feature the ability to verify the user, validate the medicant or pharmaceutical preparation and measure, meter and monitor the proper, prescribed dosage.

We define our target market as the “international inhalation market,” a market that includes herbal, pharmaceutical, medical, recreational and lifestyle products and ingredients. Industry experts, like Nielsen, Grand View Research, Fior Markets, published reports in 2022 and 2023 that we have consolidated; these consolidated estimates support that this is a $950 billion USD annual market currently and it’s expected to grow to $1.1 trillion USD by 2025. The largest category within this market is the combustible tobacco market, comprising 92% of the total. Our near term focus is on this segment, which represents the greatest opportunity for growth and the greatest opportunity to positively impact public health and wellness.

We believe our HnB technologies have applications to the international tobacco industry and the growing hemp/CBD and cannabis industries. HnBs represent the latest in tobacco and inhalable technologies, and it’s likely to supplant the electronic vapor system (EVS) technologies that include e-cigarettes and electronic nicotine delivery systems. We believe HnBs, if properly designed, will avoid many of the issues that have proved troublesome for EVS’ including thermal decomposition, heating irregularities and the formation and presence of high levels of acrolein and formaldehyde. In late 2019 Philip Morris International sought to introduce its HnB product to U.S. markets. This product, which was sold in more than 40 countries before entering U.S. markets, like other HnB technologies, is a device that heats a tobacco stick, rather than burning it, and testing by an independent accredited lab supports claims that the product can potentially reduce the number of noxious chemicals found in cigarette smoke by 95%. The Philip Morris product received the approval of the US FDA in 2019, via both a Pre-market Tobacco Authorization (“PMTA”) and in 2020 with a Modified Risk Tobacco Product (“MRTP”) designation to market the product in the US. However, the International Trade Commission ruled on September 29, 2021 that the Philip Morris product violated certain British American Tobacco patents and ruled that the Philip Morris product could not be imported to or sold in the US. In 2023 Phillip Morris and British American Tobacco settled their patent litigation, but, as of the date of this report, there are no HnB products on the market in the US.

Since late 2019 we have focused our efforts on commercializing our HnB technology. This entry began with the December 31, 2019 transaction pursuant to which we acquired the following assets from Xten Capital Group, Inc., formerly known as Chong Corporation (“Xten”), a related party: 1) all patent applications and patent related documents and materials that had been assigned, owned, or held by Xten in the field of HnB methods and designs, the backbone of the CQENS HnB system, 2) all documents and files related to device and tobacco consumable development, 3) all versions of prototyped embodiments, consisting of both device and tobacco consumable embodiments, and 4) all files, correspondence, communications and testing related to toxicology test results and consumer focus groups. On September 30, 2020, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Xten pursuant to which we acquired a portfolio of 29 U.S. and international patents and patent applications in the areas of devices and technologies for aerosolizing certain remedies and pharmaceutical preparations, as well as the solutions and preparation for inhaled delivery. This transaction effectively terminated all prior licensing agreements and resulting with the portfolio being assigned to the Company.

On September 30, 2020, we also entered into a second Asset Purchase Agreement with Xten pursuant to which we acquired certain assets including, but not limited to, a custom-built plume and inhalation testing machine, oscilloscope with probe, multiple pieces of laboratory and workshop equipment, computers, monitors and accessories.

On July 24, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) of Leap Technology LLC (“Leap Technology”) with Zong Group Holdings LLC (“Zong”) and Leap Management LLC (“LM”). Under the terms of the Operating Agreement and the related Contribution Agreement dated July 24, 2020 (the “Contribution Agreement”), we acquired a 55% membership interest in Leap Technology in exchange for the contribution of an exclusive, royalty-free license (the “Leap License Agreement”) for the use in the Asia Pacific countries listed in the Contribution Agreement of certain of our intellectual property, patents pending and patents related to our heated tobacco product technology. It is expected that Leap Technology will form additional business entities to commercialize our propriety technology in those Asia Pacific countries which include China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. The goal of the joint venture is the market development of the Company’s intellectual property in the Asia Pacific region together with other initiatives and the formation business relationships with tobacco companies who operate in the Asia Pacific region. As of the date of this report, the joint venture is still in a pre-formative stage expected to be formalized consistent with the completion of a Restated Operating Agreement sometime in 2024.

On August 17, 2021, as a result of a previously executed Memorandum of Understanding with the Barker Group of Companies, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Firebird Manufacturing, LLC (“Firebird”), a Barker Group company. Under the terms of the JV Agreement the parties have agreed to organize, negotiate, and establish a limited liability company joint venture entity (the “Joint Venture Entity”) for the purposes of developing, manufacturing, and distributing HnB products in the United States for an initial term of four years, subject to an automatic renewal for successive one-year terms provided certain conditions are met. The Joint Venture Entity will be owned equally by the Company and Firebird. The Company will license its intellectual property to the Joint Venture Entity, receiving a 10% royalty on direct consumable sales and will be responsible for designing and coordinating the manufacture of an HnB device exclusively conformed to heat but not combust. Firebird will be responsible for manufacturing the consumable and distributing both the device and consumables to the retail locations where the product can be lawfully sold.

Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Company and Firebird will each receive on a monthly basis a distribution out of the Joint Venture profits, if any, equal to 30% after payment of expenses. The remaining profits, if any, will be distributed annually. The JV Agreement also provides that the parties will be prohibited from marketing a competing product for two years following the termination of the Joint Venture Entity, subject to penalty in the amount of $5 million. The JV Agreement also sets forth in general terms the respective contributions of the parties, including equipment, manufacturing facilities, intellectual property, and expertise. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, there will be five managers of the Joint Venture Entity, three of whom will be designated by the Company and two of whom will be designated by Firebird. In the event the parties formalize and enter into a Joint Venture Entity Operating Agreement, Jay Barker, an affiliate of Firebird, may be appointed to the Company’s board of directors. The JV Agreement contains customary representations and warranties.

The execution of the Joint Venture Entity Operating Agreement is subject to formalizing the definitive Joint Venture Operating Agreement and the execution of additional agreements, including a license agreement for the use of intellectual property, certain product development agreements, supply agreements and such other agreements as may be necessary to further the purpose of the JV Agreement. The parties anticipate completing all of the relevant agreements in 2024 although there are no assurances that the parties will complete and formalize these agreements.

On July 13, 2022, we announced that we completed R&D stages for the module for the automated manufacture of consumables for its proprietary, patented and patent pending Heat-not-Burn system. The system heats plant-based and/or medicant-infused formulations to produce aerosols for the inhalation of the plant and medicant constituents without combustion or the constituents of combustion, although there are no assurances its products can be commercialized. Contemporaneous with the completion of these R&D stages, effective July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a manufacturing contract with Montrade S.p.A., (“Montrade”) a company based in Bologna, Italy, for Montrade to manufacture and install the module. The Company made an initial payment of $589,265 USD and is required to make additional payments of up to $1,086,465 USD for the module as certain stages are completed. Montrade is an industry leading designer and manufacturer of machines for a wide range of products, including heated tobacco products.

In 2022, $130,948 of the initial payment was expensed for design services completed by Montrade. The remaining payment of $458,317 and ~~the~~ the additional payment on October 24, 2023, for Amendment 2 of $40,091 for a combined total of $498,408 are related to the ~~manufacturing~~ manufacturing of the module for the automated manufacture of consumables for the Company’s proprietary, patented and patent pending Heat-not-Burn system. The $498,408 payment is recorded as Prepaid expenses – noncurrent portion. With the two amendments added and with payments made in 2023 the Company will be required to pay up to $1,046,878. On February 26, 2024, the Company signed Amendment 3 to the manufacturing contract, for a change to a component with a cost of $27,845 and made payment in full on March 6, 2024 for this change. There were no financial transactions with Montrade in the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters of 2024 however asmanufacturing ~~the~~restarted ~~project~~this ~~has~~quarter ~~been~~with ~~paused~~an ~~temporarily and~~anticipation ~~will~~of ~~restart~~completion in ~~the~~early ~~third quarter of 2024~~2025.

On December 20, 2023 we entered into a Shareholder Agreement with Asahi Corporation to establish CQENS Electronics (Hong Kong) Limited (“CEL”), a Hong Kong company, for design, development and manufacture of our heat-not-burn device (“Device”). CQENS acquired 50% membership of CEL and holds majority of the board seats including the chair. Pursuant to the establishment of CEL, CQENS entered into an exclusive, worldwide License Agreement with CEL for designing, and manufacturing a consumer device consistent with our IP. Although the activities of of CEL in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2024 are minimal and are reflective of its set-up, CEL is included in our consolidated financial statements.

Going concern

For the first ~~half~~nine ofmonths ended September 30, 2024, we reported a net loss of $17,~~890~~600,~~941~~197 and net cash used in operations of $1,~~022~~767,~~430~~595 compared to a net loss of $23,~~281~~294,~~829~~441 and net cash used in operations of $1,~~248~~915,~~049~~537 for the first ~~half~~nine months of 2023. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we had cash on hand of $3,~~379~~774,~~223~~ 365 and an accumulated deficit of $2531,~~745~~451,~~726~~841. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our limited cash and no source of revenues which may not be sufficient to cover our operating costs. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and pay our obligations as they become due over the next year. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of operations

We did not generate any revenues from our operations in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024 or 2023.

Our total operating expenses for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, ~~decreased~~increased 18465.35% over those reported for the same period in 2023. ~~This~~ This is attributable primarily to aan ~~decrease~~increase of 231015.2% in ~~general~~professional ~~and~~fees ~~administrative expenses~~ and 3550.42% in ~~professional~~research ~~fees.

For the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024 total operating expenses ~~decreased~~increased 17131.05% over those reported in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2023. The ~~reduction is~~increase is principally attributable to the common stock ~~options~~issuance ~~expense~~for services realized in the first ~~six~~nine months of ~~2023~~2024 versus ~~2024~~2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses ~~and~~of ~~professional~~36.1% ~~fees~~was ~~were~~ partially offset by ~~increases~~an increase in research and development ~~during~~of ~~the~~23.7%. ~~first six~~Professional ~~months~~fees ofincreased ~~2024~~438.5% ~~Research~~during ~~and development expenses in~~ the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024 ~~increased 14.6%~~ over ~~this~~the ~~same~~first ~~period~~nine inmonths of 2023. ~~This increase was due to increased engineering and consulting services related to product prototype configuration and development.~~

We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we continue to develop our business and we devote additional resources towards promoting that growth, most notably reflected in anticipated increases in research and development, general overhead, salaries for personnel and technical resources, as well as increased costs associated with our SEC reporting obligations. However, as set forth elsewhere in this report, our ability to continue to develop our business and achieve our operational goals is dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional working capital. As the availability of this capital is unknown, we are unable to quantify at this time the expected increases in operating expenses in future periods.

Liquidity and capital resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we had $3,~~379~~774,~~223 in~~365 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital surplus of $12,~~842~~151,~~730~~358 compared to $350,565 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $921,732 at December 31, 2023. Our current liabilities increased $~~549~~518,~~880~~489 from December 31, 2023, reflecting a $3922,~~953~~229 increase in accounts payable, a $~~162~~105,~~442~~011 increase in accrued expenses, a $~~102~~112,~~573~~359 increase in our borrowing from a related party, and $~~250~~300,000 increase in investor deposits offset by a ~~slight~~ decrease of $521,~~088~~111 in the current portion of our ~~lease~~ lease liability. Our source of operating capital in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024 came from the cash on hand at the end of 2023; $100,000 in advances from Xten, a related party; $12,359 from Mei Liu Chong, a related party and $45,~~073~~308,000 of proceeds from the sale of our common stock. Our source of operating capital in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2023 came from cash on hand at the end of 2022; $900,000 in advances from Xten, a common control entity; and $~~575~~1,920,000 of proceeds from the sale of our common stock.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. As the company is not generating revenues, continued activities and expenditures to bring product(s) to market as soon as we are able is important. Management believes the currently available funding will be insufficient to finance the Company’s operations for a year from the date of these financial statements and to satisfy our obligations as they become due.

On January 15, 2023, we entered into an agreement to borrow up to $1,000,000 from our largest shareholder, Xten, on an as needed basis. Such borrowings will be for operations, interest free and due upon demand. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024, and as of the date of this filing, we we have borrowed the full amount. On March 45, 2024, we sold 1,400 shares of our common stock for $28,000 in a private transaction. On March 25, 2024, we sold 14,250 shares of our common stock for $285,000 in a private transaction. On May 7, 2024, we sold 25,000 ~~shares~~ shares of our common stock for $500,000 in a private transaction. On May 24, 2024, we sold 50,000 shares of our common stock for $1,000,000 in private transactions. On June 27, 2024, we issued 113,000 shares of our common stock for $2,260,000 in private transactions. On July 8, 2024, we sold 25,000 shares of our common stock for $500,000 in private transactions. WeOn ~~did~~July ~~not~~25, ~~pay~~2024, awe ~~commission~~sold or18,750 ~~finder’s~~shares ~~fees~~of our common stock for ~~these~~$375,000 in private transactions. ~~and~~On ~~are~~August ~~using~~8, ~~the~~2024 ~~proceeds~~we sold 7,500 shares of our common stock for ~~working~~$150,000 in a private ~~capital~~transaction.

~~As of June 30, 2024, we owe $1,000,000 to Xten. At the end of the first six months of 2023, we owed Xten $900,000.~~16

We did not pay a commission or finder’s fees for these transactions and are using the proceeds for working capital. We raised $1,235,000 from the private sale of our common stock during the third quarter of 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, we owe $1,000,000 to Xten. At the end of the first nine months of 2023, we owed Xten $900,000.

As of the date of this report we still will need to raise $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 in additional capital during the next 12 months. There are no assurances we will have sufficient funds to fund our operating expenses and continued development of our products and to satisfy our obligations as they become due over the next 12 months. In that event, our ability to continue as a going concern is in jeopardy. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital, develop a source of revenues, report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.

Summary of cash flows

	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023

In the first half of 2023, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $575,000 from the sale of our common stock and $900,000 of borrowing from a related party.

Critical accounting policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable allowances and impairment of long-lived assets. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements appearing later in this report and Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements appearing in our 2023 10-K.

Off balance sheet arrangements

As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure due to the presence of continuing material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as reported in our 2023 10-K. These material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting result from limited segregation of duties and limited multiple level of review in the financial close process.

The existence of the continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting increases the risk that a future restatement of our financials is possible. In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we will need to expand our accounting resources. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, however, we do not expect that the deficiencies in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have remediated the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Subject to the availability of sufficient capital, we expect to expand our accounting resources during 2024 in an effort to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting..
