• Auditor Expresses Going Concern Doubt

  The independent auditor, L J Soldinger Associates, LLC, expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, citing an accumulated deficit of $5.7 million, a working capital deficit of $207,161, and negative cash flows from operations.

• Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls Identified

  Management concluded that disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2025, due to a lack of written internal control documentation and improper classification of contributed capital.

• 2024 Financial Statements Restated

  The company restated its September 30, 2024, financial statements to correct for $6,000 in unaccrued consulting expenses and a $175,000 misclassification of short-term advances as liabilities instead of additional paid-in capital.

• Shell Company Status and No Revenues

  The company remains a shell with no revenues, an accumulated deficit of $5.7 million, and is dependent on related-party funding to cover administrative and operational expenses.

This 10-K filing reveals a company in severe financial distress and with significant governance issues. The auditor's explicit 'substantial doubt' about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, coupled with management's admission of ineffective internal controls and disclosure controls, signals fundamental operational and reporting deficiencies. The restatement of 2024 financials due to unaccrued expenses and misclassified advances further underscores these problems. For a shell company with no revenues and a large accumulated deficit, these issues are critical. The company's reliance on related-party funding and its decision to extend a $130,000 loan to a potential acquisition target, Physicians Capital Management Corporation, while itself facing a going concern warning, introduces additional risk and raises questions about capital allocation. Investors should view this filing as a strong negative indicator of the company's viability and governance.
