Going Concern

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had net income of $6,933,969; however, this was largely due to the extinguishment of debt. We had net cash used in operating activities of $235,889 and an accumulated deficit of $19,289,901. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for the Company's capital requirements by continuing to issue additional equity and debt securities. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
