TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

Our Company

This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

As used in this current report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and "Caro" mean Caro Holdings Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

Our History

Our company was incorporated on March 29, 2016 in the State of Nevada. We had been engaged in the subscription box business with our initial focus on offering sock subscriptions to our customers. Our subscription box was a package of a pair of socks that will be sent directly to a customer on a recurring basis. For example, a potential subscriber would subscribe to receive a pair of socks once a month for either a period of 6 months or 12 months. Our subscription sock boxes were a marketing strategy and a method of product distribution, allowing us to target a wide range of customers and cater to their variety of specific needs and interests. We are a small early-stage development company. To date, our company's activities have been limited to the sourcing of our advertising channels, initial branding efforts, and in our formation and the raising of equity capital. We have no revenues and have limited cash on hand. We have sustained losses since inception and have relied upon loans from directors and officers and the sale of our securities for funding. We have never declared bankruptcy, been in receivership, or involved in any kind of legal proceeding

Our Current Business

We are now engaged in the deployment of our B2B, B2C and Direct to Consumer (D2C) systems and methodologies where we target specific vertical markets. We look for small to mid-size brands that have a strong brick-and-mortar presence and have a desire to increase their digital presence.

Our D2C system is a fully integrated 360° platform that allows marketing, analytics and e-commerce functionality wrapped around an industry-specific directory listing platform. The analytical data provides insight from multiple channels to facilitate successful marketing decisions based on a client’s entire business performance.

Based on these analytics, the system can immediately deploy personalization and optimization independently, and enhance understanding of how customer interactions vary across different regions. Furthermore, our infrastructure is designed to take advantage of growth opportunities with minimal additional costs.

Since September 2022, the Company has been actively engaged in soliciting and identifying clients in across a broad spectrum of industries. It has also been engaged in several marketing activities to attract partners, clients and beta testers who are providing valuable feedback in order for us to ensure our system meets their needs and expectations.

The Company is also looking to provide its marketplace platform to the pet care and spirit industries in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company is also engaging in a full array of marketing activities including social media, attending trade shows and fairs, online conferences, and utilizing identified experts in affiliate marketing, pay-per-click, organic, search, engine, optimization, and social media marketing to promote D2C commerce.

On December 29, 2022, the Company entered into a software license agreement with Noise Comms Ltd. for the acquisition of a Unified Communications Platform which enables multi-party communications between brands and consumers in consideration of 20,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $258,000.

On November 14, 2023, the Company agreed to acquire a marketplace provider in the spirits industry, a non-affiliated corporation based in Wyoming, under which the Company will issue, on a pro-rata basis, up to 12,550,000 shares of common stock based on the acquiree’s reaching future milestones in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the acquiree making it a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares will remain in escrow with the Company until those milestones.

We are still a small early-stage development company with minimal revenues and limited cash on hand. We have sustained losses since inception and have relied upon loans from directors and officers and the sale of our securities for funding. We have never declared bankruptcy, been in receivership, or been involved in any kind of legal proceeding.

Marketing, Advertising, and Promotion

We believe that our systems will become one of our most important assets. Our ability to successfully create brand awareness is dependent upon our ability to address the changing needs and priorities of each brand’s target customers. To that end, we plan to focus much of our marketing efforts to recruit partners. We will then apply our methodologies to better understand their customers and their needs and ensure we align our brand messages in the marketing, and the channels through which we deliver these messages, to the target customers.

Revenue

We have minimal reported revenue during our fiscal year 2024 ending on March 31, 2024, and had no revenue during our fiscal year 2023 ending on March 31, 2023.

Inventory

The Company does not currently have any inventory on hand.

Government Regulation

We are subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet and e-commerce. Existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth of our Internet or e-commerce services. These regulations and laws may cover taxation, privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, mobile communications, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of e-commerce payment services, unencumbered Internet communications, consumer protection, the provision of e-commerce payment services, unencumbered Internet access to our services, the design and operation of websites and the characteristics and quality of products and services. It is not clear how certain existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet and e-commerce. Unfavorable regulations and laws could diminish the demand for our products and services and increase our costs of doing business. In addition, we may be subject to international trade agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and the activities and regulations of the World Trade Organization. We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in the United States and the Philippines. While we believe that our operations are in compliance with all applicable regulations, there can be no assurances that from time to time unintentional violations of such regulations will not occur.

Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of material into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has not had a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. We believe the nature of our operations have little, if any, environmental impact. We therefore anticipate no material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for our current fiscal year or for the near future. Our Employees We have no employees. Our sole officer and director furnishes their time to the development of our company at no cost. We do not foresee hiring any employees in the near future. We will engage independent contractors to help design and develop our website and marketing efforts.

Acquisition Interest

As part of our investigation, we expect to meet personally with management and key personnel, visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis of verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of our limited financial resources and management expertise. The manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend on the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of both parties, and the management of the opportunity.

With respect to any merger or acquisition, and depending upon, among other things, the target company’s assets and liabilities, our stockholders will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in us following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event we acquire a target company with assets and expectations of growth. Any merger or acquisition can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our stockholders.

We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written business agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally we anticipate that such agreements will (i) require specific representations and warranties by all of the parties; (ii) specify certain events of default; (iii) detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after such closing; (iv) outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with the Company’s attorneys and accountants; (v) set forth remedies on defaults; and (vi) include miscellaneous other terms.

As stated above, we will not acquire or merge with any entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction. If such audited financial statements are not available at closing, or within time parameters necessary to insure our compliance within the requirements of the 1934 Act, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform to the representations made by that business to be acquired, the definitive closing documents will provide that the proposed transaction will be voidable, at the discretion of our present management. If such transaction is voided, the definitive closing documents will also contain a provision providing for reimbursement for our costs associated with the proposed transaction.

Investment Company Act 1940

Although we will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, we believe we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event we engage in business combinations that result in us holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the 1940 Act. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment company and incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the 1940 Act and, consequently, any violation of the 1940 Act would subject us to material adverse consequences. We believe that, currently, we are exempt under Regulation 3a-2 of the 1940 Act.

Intellectual Property

We are currently engaged in developing our own proprietary intellectual property.

Employees

We presently have no full time executive, operational or clerical staff.

Factors Effecting Future Performance

Rather than an operating business, our goal is to obtain debt and/or equity financing to meet our ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders.

Although there is no assurance that this series of events will be successfully completed, we believe we can successfully complete an acquisition or merger which will enable us to continue as a going concern. Any acquisition or merger will most likely be dilutive to our existing stockholders.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report. Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Results of Operations

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, which are included herein. Our operating results for the year ended March 31, 2024, for the year ended March 31, 2023 and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows:

Net loss increased from $356,479 for the year ended March 31, 2023 to $539,041 for the year ended March 31, 2024 due to the increase in operating expenses and other expenses.

During the year ended March 31, 2024 we generated $577 in revenue. For the year ending March 31, 2023 we did not generate revenues.

Operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2024 consisted of audit and accounting fees, software development expense, legal fees, and consulting fees and website development expense. The increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of an increase in development activities, audit fees, legal fees and consulting fees.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred other expenses of $230,214 as compared to $107,327 during the year ended March 31, 2023, mainly consist of debt issuance cost of $203,867 and $106,666, respectively.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Working Capital (Deficiency)

Our total current assets as of March 31, 2024 were as $233,716 compared to total current assets of $8,292 as of March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in deferred business acquisition cost, promissory note receivable and cash.

Our total current liabilities as of March 31, 2024 were $947,035 as compared to total current liabilities of $391,054 as of March 31, 2023. The increase was mainly attributed by the increase in convertible notes, accrued interest payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Working capital deficiency increased from $382,762 as of March 31, 2023 to $713,319 as of March 31, 2024 mainly due to the increase in convertible notes, accrued interest payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception. We have no operating revenues. We have been dependent on sales of equity securities and debt financing to conduct operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

Operating Activities

For the year ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $244,810 related to our net loss of $539,041, decreased by amortization of $9,214 and loss on convertible notes of $203,867 and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $81,150.

For the year ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $174,532, related to our net loss of $356,479, decreased by loss on convertible notes of $106,666 and net changes in operating and liabilities of $75,281.

For the year ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $186,976 from proceeds from issuance of promissory note of $2,500, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes of $160,000 and advancement from related party of $1,976.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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 is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting periods presented.

Our critical estimates include revenue recognition and intangible assets. Although we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates given a change in conditions or assumptions that have been consistently applied. We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as our policy for revenue recognition, however, the application of these policies does not require us to make significant estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

The critical accounting policies used by management and the methodology for its estimates and assumptions are as follows:

Convertible Financial Instruments

We bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

When we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

CARO HOLDINGS, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

CARO HOLDINGS, INC.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Caro Holdings, Inc (the ‘Company’) as of March 31, 2024, and 2023, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, 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 March 31, 2024, and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $1,102,951, net loss of $539,041. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regards to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. 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 audit. 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 audits 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, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control 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.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. Communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with an objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls are also designed with an objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, in order to allow timely consideration regarding required disclosures.

The evaluation of our disclosure controls by our principal executive officer included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Annual Report. Our management, including our chief executive officer, does not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting is as of the year ended March 31, 2024. We believe that internal control over financial reporting is not effective. We have identified current material weaknesses considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations. The Company has inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk assessment, and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines. This is caused by a very limited number of personnel.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee

The Company does not presently have an Audit Committee and the entire Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. The Company intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint an Audit Committee.

In lieu of an Audit Committee the Board is empowered to make such examinations as are necessary to monitor the corporate financial reporting and the external audits of the Company, to provide to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) the results of its examinations and recommendations derived there from, to outline to the Board improvements made, or to be made, in internal control, to nominate independent auditors, and to provide to the Board such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters that require Board attention.

Compensation Committee

The Company does not presently have a Compensation Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. The Company intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint a Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee will be authorized to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding all forms of compensation to be provided to the executive officers and directors of the Company, including stock compensation, and bonus compensation to all employees.

Nominating Committee

The Company does not have a Nominating Committee and the Board acts in such capacity.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and the FINRA Rules.

Indemnification of Executive Officers and Directors

Our articles provide to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or our stockholders for damages for breach of such directors or officers fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our articles is to eliminate our rights and the rights of our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our articles are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Nevada corporate law provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of that fact that he was a director, officer employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Executive compensation during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

(1) On September 21, 2022, Christopher McEachnie resigned his position as President, CFO and Treasurer of the Company. Upon resignation, Meriesha Rennalls was appointed as President, COO, Director and Secretary.

Employment Agreement

We do not have any employment agreements with our officers.

Stock Option Plan

We do not have a stock option plan and we have not issued any warrants, options or other rights to acquire our securities.

Employee Pension, Profit Sharing or other Retirement Plans

We do not have a defined benefit, pension plan, profit sharing or other retirement plan, although we may adopt one or more of such plans in the future.

Director’s Compensation

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

On May 13, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors formally dismissed BF Borgers as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On May 3, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permanently suspended BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) from appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant. The reports of BF Borgers on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles other than an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 through May 13, 2024, there were no “disagreements” with BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers would have caused BF Borgers to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statement for such years. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 through May 13, 2024, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Registration S-K), except for the identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.

On May 14, 2024, the Company engaged Olayinka Oyebola & Co (“OO & Co.”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit and review the Company’s financial statements. 

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and for fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

BF Borgers CPA PC

Olayinka Oyebola & Co, Chartered Accountants

Pre-Approval Policy

Our Board as a whole pre-approved all services provided by accountants, for any non-audit or non-audit related services and the Board must conclude that such services are compatible with their independence as our auditors.
