(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — Business Description

On January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”) for a total purchase price of $7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”). Prior to the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer materials which provided critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices. Our biomaterials were marketed and sold to medical device manufacturers who used our advanced polymers in devices designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.

As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify either an (i) operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction or (ii) investor interested in purchasing a majority interest in our common stock, whereby either transaction would likely result in a change in control. On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 5,114,475 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company effectuated a 1-for 50 reverse stock split on March 11, 2022 (the “Reverse Split”). Accordingly, on a post-split basis, the shares purchased in connection with the First Closing resulted in Reddington owning 422,725 shares of our common stock. As set forth in the SPA, Reddington then purchased from us on March 15, 2022 an additional 4,691,750 shares of our common stock, on a post-split basis (the “Second Closing”). After the issuance thereof Reddington owned 5,114,475 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding.

Management continues to seek to identify an operating company for the purposes of engaging in a merger or business combination of some kind, or acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. Although we have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders, we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements.

We do not own or lease any property and maintain a corporate address at 3651 Lindell Road, Las Vegas, Nevada.

NOTE 2 — Liquidity and Going Concern

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we reported a net loss of approximately $851,000 and $40,000, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we reported a net loss of approximately $5,933,000 and $234,000, respectively. Cash flows of approximately $140,000 and $206,000 were used in operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 5,114,475 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022.

On April 11, 2022, effective April 1, 2022, we issued to GK Partners ApS (“GK Partners”), a private investor located in Denmark, for financial services, a warrant to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share which expires on December 31, 2023. On February 14, 2023 GK Partners exercised a portion of the warrant for 115,000 shares. There can be no assurances that GK Partners will exercise all or a portion of the remaining warrant during the term of the warrant.

Our Board of Directors declared a cash distribution to stockholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA. The cash distribution of approximately $141,000, or $0.25 per share, was paid on September 22, 2022, to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2022.

Management is seeking to identify an operating company for the purpose of effecting a merger or business combination, or to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.

Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. It is expected that if a transaction is consummated, although no such transaction is assured, then the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control and such transaction would be expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

Although we have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders, we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements and there can be no assurance that we will ever identify an opportunity that could result in the consummation of merger or other business combination. As a result of the limited retained funds and uncertainty in consummating a possible merger or business combination, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 — Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which we consider necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K, as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, and that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the audited financial statements as of March 31, 2022 which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on our accounting and reporting. We believe that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on our accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

NOTE 4 — Related Party Transactions

Mr. Michael Adams, our former chief executive officer, was a non-employee consultant and holder of less than 1.0% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2022. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Mr. Adams earned approximately $0 and $12,000, respectively, in consulting fees and was reimbursed $0 and approximately $5,000, respectively, for office expenses and car allowance. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Mr. Adams earned approximately $0 and $66,000, respectively, in consulting fees and was reimbursed $0 and approximately $19,000, respectively, for office expenses and car allowance. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, there were no amounts due to Mr. Adams in consideration of his consulting services and reimbursable expenses and allowances. In connection with the First Closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement which we entered into with Reddington Partners LLC on October 12, 2021, Mr. Adams resigned as our chief executive officer and sole director, and Mr. Bennett J. Yankowitz was appointed as our chief executive and financial officer and sole director.

Since October 12, 2021, Mr. Yankowitz, our chief executive and financial officer and sole director, was affiliated with legal counsel who provided us with general legal services (the “Affiliate”). During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded legal fees for services incurred of approximately $11,000 and $21,000, respectively. The fees for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were offset by a $6,000 credit resulting from an immaterial error in the recording of two invoices during a previous period. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Affiliate did not provide us legal or other services. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 we had approximately $11,000 and $12,000 payable to the Affiliate. Mr. Yankowitz does not receive cash compensation for acting as our chief executive officer and sole director.

On November 28, 2022, we issued Bennett J. Yankowitz warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire on December 31, 2027. The warrants were issued as compensation for his acting as the sole director and the chief executive officer of the Company. Refer to Note 8 valuation detail.

NOTE 5 — Transaction Fee

On May 20, 2021, we received a $22,000 cash deposit (the “Deposit”) in connection with a non-binding arrangement entered into with a private company having an interest in a potential business combination with us. On August 12, 2021, we were notified by the private company of their intent to terminate the arrangement. The arrangement provided that the Deposit was refundable, net of all reasonable legal, advisory and regulatory fees incurred by us. Our legal, advisory and regulatory fees exceeded the amount of the Deposit, accordingly, there was no refund due to the private company.

NOTE 6 — Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock using the treasury stock method. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential shares. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the 6,750,000 shares underlying the issued warrants, would be considered anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

NOTE 7 – Note Payable

On October 14, 2022, the Company issued a Demand Promissory Note (“Note”) to GK Partners ApS for which it received $40,000. The Note bears interest at 3% per annum and matures June 30, 2023.

NOTE 8 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

We have authorized 5,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value, Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock”) of which 500,000 shares have been issued and redeemed, therefore are not considered outstanding. In addition, 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Junior Preferred Stock”) with the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions specified in the Certificate of Designation of the Junior Preferred Stock filed with the Delaware Department of State on January 28, 2008. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by us that is convertible into Junior Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, there was no Junior Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 5,114,475 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022. Pursuant to the SPA, each of four stockholders (the “Principal Stockholders”) entered into a Voting Agreement with Reddington (the “Voting Agreements”).

The sale of the first tranche of 21,136,250 shares of our common stock, on a pre-split basis, was consummated on October 12, 2021 (the “First Closing”). At the First Closing, the Principal Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreements with Reddington, covering an aggregate of 4,434,240 shares of our common stock, on a pre-split basis. As a result of these transactions, Reddington obtained ownership or voting power over a total of 25,570,490 shares of our common stock, on a pre-split basis, constituting approximately 51.8% of our total outstanding shares. Accordingly, Reddington became the majority stockholder of the Company.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company effectuated a 1-for 50 reverse stock split on March 11, 2022 (the “Reverse Split”). Accordingly, on a post-split basis, the shares purchased in connection with the First Closing resulted in Reddington owning 422,725 shares of our common stock. As set forth in the SPA, Reddington then purchased from us on March 15, 2022 an additional 4,691,750 shares of our common stock, on a post-split basis (the “Second Closing”). After the issuance thereof Reddington owned 5,114,475 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding. As of the Second Closing, the Voting Agreements terminated.

The cumulative purchase price for both tranches of shares of our common stock was $400,000. At the First Closing, Reddington paid the Company $200,000, $100,000 of which was required to be applied to the payment of our accrued and unpaid liabilities as of the First Closing date, and $100,000 of which was for working capital purposes. The remaining $200,000 was deposited to an escrow account with an independent escrow agent (the “Escrow Account”). At the Second Closing, if the $100,000 designated to pay for accrued and unpaid liabilities was not sufficient, funds from the Escrow Account were to be used to pay the remainder of such liabilities. At the Second Closing, Reddington paid us an additional $200,000. Pursuant to the SPA, any funds remaining after the payment of the accrued and unpaid liabilities, if any, and all funds in the Escrow Account, were to be combined and used solely for a special one-time cash distribution (the “Special Distribution”) by us, through a paying agent reasonably satisfactory to Reddington, to only our stockholders of record as of October 11, 2021, net of any costs associated with making the Special Distribution. Reddington and its Affiliates expressly waived any right to participate in the Special Distribution.

The shares of common stock sold to Reddington were and will be sold in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, based in part on the representations of Reddington. There were no sales commissions paid pursuant to this transaction.

Warrants

On April 11, 2022, effective April 1, 2022, we issued to GK Partners ApS, a private investor located in Denmark, for financial services, a warrant to immediately purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share which expires on December 31, 2023 (the “Warrant”). As of December 31, 2022 the Warrant remains outstanding.

In determining the fair value of the Warrant, we used the Black-Scholes pricing model having the following assumptions: (i) stock option exercise price of $1.00; (ii) fair market value of our common stock of $1.22 as quoted on the OTC Markets on the date of issuance of the Warrant; (iii) expected term of option of 0.83 years utilizing the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” warrant grants; (iv) expected volatility of approximately 203%; (v) expected dividend rate of 0.0%; and (vi) risk-free interest rate of approximately 2.44%. As a result, we recorded stock-based compensation of approximately $5,010,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

On November 28, 2022, we issued 1) to David Volpe a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 2) to Bennett J. Yankowitz a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The warrants have exercise a price of $1.00 per share and expire on December 31, 2027. As of December 31, 2022, there were no exercises pursuant to the terms of the Warrant and the Warrant remains outstanding.

Mr. Volpe’s Warrants were issued as compensation for consulting services provided to the Company. Mr. Yankowitz’s Warrants were issued as compensation for his acting as the sole director and the chief executive officer of the Company.

In determining the fair value of the Warrants, we used the Black-Scholes pricing model having the following assumptions: (i) stock option exercise price of $1.00; (ii) fair market value of our common stock of $1.12 as quoted on the OTC Markets on the date of issuance of the Warrant; (iii) term of option of 5 years; (iv) expected volatility of approximately 206%; (v) expected dividend rate of 0.0%; and (vi) risk-free interest rate of approximately 3.88%. As a result, we recorded total stock-based compensation of approximately $825,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

The aggregate intrinsic value totaled $0, for total outstanding and exercisable warrants and was based on the estimated fair value of our common stock of $0.99 as of December 31, 2022.

Cash Distribution to Stockholders

Our Board of Directors declared a cash distribution to stockholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA. The cash distribution of approximately $141,000, or $0.25 per share, was paid on September 22, 2022, to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2022.

Treasury Stock and Other Transactions

In June 2001, the Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 250,000 of our shares of common stock. In June 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of an additional 500,000 shares of common stock. Since June 2001, we have repurchased a total of 251,379 shares under the share repurchase program, leaving 498,621 shares remaining to purchase under the share repurchase program. No repurchases were made during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The share repurchase program authorizes repurchases from time to time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, block transactions or otherwise, at times and prices deemed appropriate by management, and is not subject to an expiration date.

Stockholder Rights Plan

Our Board of Directors approved the adoption of a stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) under which all stockholders of record as of February 8, 2008 will receive rights to purchase shares of the Junior Preferred Stock (the “Rights”). The Rights will be distributed as a dividend. Initially, the Rights will attach to, and trade with, our common stock. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Rights Plan, the Rights will become exercisable if (among other things) a person or group acquires 15% or more of our common stock. Upon such an event, and payment of the purchase price, each Right (except those held by the acquiring person or group) will entitle the holder to acquire shares of our common stock (or the economic equivalent thereof) having a value equal to twice the purchase price. Our Board of Directors may redeem the Rights prior to the time they are triggered. In the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire us, the Rights Plan is intended to facilitate the full realization of our stockholder value and the fair and equal treatment of all of our stockholders. The Rights Plan does not prevent a takeover attempt.

NOTE 9 — Subsequent Events

On February 14, 2023, GK Partners exercised a portion of its warrant for 115,000 shares. The exercise price was $1.00 per share. The remaining 5,885,000 shares issuable under the warrant remain unexercised.

In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) management has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

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

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Litigation Reform Act”). These forward looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or using other similar expressions.

In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q. For example, given the cessation of our operations as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers on January 31, 2020, resulting from the sale of substantially all of our assets to an independent third party, we became engaged in efforts to identify an operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction whereby such a transaction would likely result in a change in control. If we are unable to effect a transaction with an operating company, we may be required to cease all operations, including liquidation through bankruptcy proceedings. For all of these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. You are encouraged to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to read and carefully consider the additional information included in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, including but not limited to the Risk Factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law.

Business

On January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”) for a total purchase price of $7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”). Prior to the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer materials which provided critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices. Our biomaterials were marketed and sold to medical device manufacturers who used our advanced polymers in devices designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.

As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify either an (i) operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction or (ii) investor interested in purchasing a majority interest in our common stock, whereby either transaction would likely result in a change in control. On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 5,114,475 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company effectuated a 1-for 50 reverse stock split on March 11, 2022 (the “Reverse Split”). Accordingly, on a post-split basis, the shares purchased in connection with the First Closing resulted in Reddington owning 422,725 shares of our common stock. As set forth in the SPA, Reddington then purchased from us on March 15, 2022 an additional 4,691,750 shares of our common stock, on a post-split basis (the “Second Closing”). After the issuance thereof Reddington owned 5,114,475 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding.

Management is seeking to identify an operating company for the purposes of engaging in a merger or business combination of some kind, or acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. Although we have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders, we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements.

We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.

Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 to our financial statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. However, certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our financial statements. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of market trends, information provided by our strategic partners and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates contained in our unaudited financial statements. Other than as set forth below, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Stock-based Compensation

We applied the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward- known as the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair values as determined in accordance with ASC 718 as amended by ASU 2018-07. As such, the grant date is the measurement date of an award’s fair value., which is expensed over the requisite service period.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 vs. December 31, 2021

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, our operating expenses were approximately $853,000 as compared with $40,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of approximately $813,000. Our operating expenses are composed of those costs necessary to operate a public company, which are primarily composed of management consultant fees, accounting fees, professional fees, and regulatory fees. The increase in these operating costs is the result of the recording of stock-based compensation expense of approximately $825,000 in connection with the issuance of a warrants immediately exercisable into up to 750,000 shares of our common stock. The increase in operating costs was offset by a decrease in professional and consulting fees incurred prior to the change of control resulting from the purchase of common stock by an investor on October 12, 2021.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2022 vs. December 31, 2021

Operating Expenses

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, our operating expenses were approximately $5,941,000 as compared with $256,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of approximately $5,685,000. Our operating expenses are composed of those costs necessary to operate a public company, which are primarily composed of management consultant fees, accounting fees, professional fees, and regulatory fees. The increase in these operating costs is primarily a result of the recording of stock-based compensation of approximately $5,834,000 in connection with the issuance of a warrant immediately exercisable into up to 6,750,000 shares of our common stock. The increase in these operation costs were offset by a decrease in professional and consulting fees incurred prior to the change of control resulting from the purchase of common stock by an investor on October 12, 2021.

Other Income

On May 20, 2021, we received a $22,000 cash deposit (the “Deposit”) in connection with a non-binding arrangement entered into with a private company having an interest in a potential business combination with us. On August 12, 2021, we were notified by the private company of their intent to terminate the arrangement. The arrangement provided that the Deposit was refundable, net of all reasonable legal, advisory and regulatory fees incurred by us. Our legal, advisory and regulatory fees exceeded the amount of the Deposit, accordingly, there was no refund due to the private company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, we had cash of approximately $5,000 as compared to a cash balance of approximately $246,000 as of March 31, 2022.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, we had net cash of approximately $140,000 used in operating activities. Our cash flows used in operating activities is primarily a result of (i) our net loss of approximately $5,933,000; and (ii) a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and related party payable of approximately $44,000. The cash used in operating activities were offset by stock-based compensation of approximately $5,835,000 in connection with the issuance of a warrant immediately exercisable into up to 6,750,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we had net cash of approximately $206,000 used in operating activities. Our cash flows used in operating activities is primarily a result of our net loss of approximately $234,000 which was offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expense of approximately $28,000.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022 we had net cash of approximately $101,000 used in financing activities as a result of the cash distribution of approximately $141,000 on September 22, 2022 to our stockholders of record as of March 15, 2022, which was offset by the $40,000 received for a note payable. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we had net cash of $200,000 provided by financing activities which was a result of the issuance of an additional 21,136,250 shares of our common stock to a private investor in consideration of $200,000 in cash.

On January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”) for a total purchase price of $7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”). As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify either an (i) operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction or (ii) investor interested in purchasing a majority interest in our common stock, whereby either transaction would likely result in a change in control. On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 5,114,475 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased these shares of our common stock in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022.

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we reported a net loss of approximately $26,000 and $40,000, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we reported a net loss of approximately $5,108,000 and $234,000, respectively. Cash flows of approximately $140,000 and $206,000 were used in operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is seeking to identify an operating company for the purposes of engaging in a merger or business combination of some kind or acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. Although we have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders, we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements.

We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.

Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our chief executive and financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive and financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022 were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to limited resources in the finance and accounting functions. We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
