Notes to the UNAUDITED CONDENSED consolidated financial statementS
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Organizational and General
TMT Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 6, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a business combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from July 6, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and post-offering activities in search for a target to consummate a business combination, which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company generated non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s ability to commence operations is dependent upon financial resources obtained through an IPO of 6,000,000 units on March 27, 2023 (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary share included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, which is discussed in Note 3, and the sale of 370,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in private placements to 2TM Holding LP (the “Sponsor”) that was closed simultaneously with the IPO (see Note 4).
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of IPO to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On March 30, 2023, 225,000 ordinary shares stand forfeited as the overallotment option was not exercised.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,200,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the IPO.
The Company will have until 12 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full amount of time) (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to $61,200 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Trust Account
Following the closing of the IPO, an aggregate of $61,200,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 27, 2023. On March 30, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 6,000,000 (“Public Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000 which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 370,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds of $3,700,000 which is described in Note 4 and 5.
Transaction costs amounted to $3,868,701 consisting of $1,200,000 of underwriting fees and $2,668,701 of other offering costs.
As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had $89,180 and $46,778 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,650,197 and $302,711, respectively. The Company expects that it will need additional capital to satisfy its liquidity needs beyond the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO and the proceeds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management believes that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and such period is not extended, there will be a liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Proposed Business Combination
On December 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, TMT Merger Sub, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and eLong Power Holding Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Elong”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the corporate existence of TMT Merger Sub will cease. Upon consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), among other things, the Company will acquire all outstanding equity interests in Elong in exchange for ordinary shares of the Company with a value of $450,000,000 (based on an assumed value of $10.00 per ordinary share of the Company). Upon the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of the Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of Elong (the “Elong Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of Elong (the “Elong Class B Ordinary Shares”) will be exchanged for 45,000,000 Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares and Company’s Class B Ordinary (the “Initial Consideration”), respectively, less the number of Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Assumed Warrants (as defined below), allocated among Elong’s shareholders on a pro rata basis.
On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Elong and ELong Power Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Elong (“Merger Sub”). The A&R Merger Agreement amends and restates the Merger Agreement. The A&R Merger Agreement was entered into to modify the structure of the Merger as described below, while the overall economic terms of the business combination contained in the Merger Agreement remain unchanged.
Prior to the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Merger, Elong will effect a share cancellation of Elong Class A Ordinary Shares and Elong Class B Ordinary Shares (together, “Elong Ordinary Shares”), such that, immediately thereafter, Elong will have forty-five million (45,000,000) Elong Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding, comprising thirty-nine million four hundred and seventeen thousand and seventy-eight (39,417,078) Elong Class A Ordinary Shares and five million five hundred and eighty-two thousand nine hundred and twenty-two (5,582,922) Elong Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, less the number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Elong Warrants. The ratio of the reverse share split is based on a valuation of Elong of four hundred and fifty million U.S. Dollars ($450,000,000).
Extension

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2024.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s 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 the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had a cash balance of $89,180 and $46,778 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not experience losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1. Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, and other costs (including underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations. The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering” to allocate offering costs between public shares and public rights based on the estimated fair values of public shares and public rights at the date of issuance.
Offering costs were $3,868,701 consisting principally of underwriting, legal, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and are charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO in 2023. Out of $3,868,701, $3,781,346 was allocated to public shares which are subject to redemption based on the estimated fair value of the public shares on the IPO date. No offering costs were accrued in 2024.
Investments Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income earned on investment held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Convertible Notes
The Company had issued multiple convertible notes to its sponsor – Ms. Xiaozhen Li and Elong, in order to finance its transaction costs in relation to its initial business combination and the extension of the business combination period. Below is a summary of all the convertible notes issued as of September 30, 2024:

All convertible notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon consummation of the Business Combination. The holder of the notes may, at their election, convert the note, in whole or in part, into the Company’s units, provided that written notice of such intention is given to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The number of units to be received by the note payee in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to such payee by (y) $10.00. Each unit consists of one (1) ordinary share and one (1) right to receive two-tenths (2/10) of one (1) ordinary share.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1,965,000 and $0 is outstanding in total under the convertible notes, respectively. Among all the convertible notes, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1,190,000 and $0 is outstanding under the convertible notes issued to related party, and $775,000 and $0 is outstanding under the convertible notes issued to Elong, respectively.
On October 23, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note with no interest, with the principal amount of $140,000 to Ms. Xiaozhen Li (“Convertible Note 10”). See Note 9 for details.
The accounting treatment of convertible notes issued is determined pursuant to the guidance provided by ASC 470, Debt and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06)”. The bifurcation of conversion feature from the debt host is not required.
Net Income/(Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As a result, diluted income/(loss) per share is the same as basic income/(loss) per share for the period presented.
The net income (loss) per share presented in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations is based on the following:

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary share (including ordinary share that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary share features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2024, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $11.18 per share as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero. The Company allocates gross proceeds between the Public Shares and Public Rights based on their relative fair values.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the ordinary shares reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position.
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws.
Any interest payable in respect to US debt obligations held by the Trust Account is intended to qualify for the portfolio interest exemption or otherwise be exempt from U.S. withholding taxes. Furthermore, shareholders of the Company may be subject to tax in their respective jurisdictions based on applicable laws, for instances, U.S. persons may be subject to tax on the amounts deemed received depending on whether the Company is a passive foreign investment company and whether U.S. persons have made any applicable tax elections permitted under applicable law.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal year for smaller reporting companies. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2024. The Company has issued convertible notes in 2024, and it did not have any convertible notes before January 1, 2024. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements after this adoption.
On November 4, 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities (“PBEs”) to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements. ASU 2024-03 will begin effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted as well. The Company assessed the impact of ASU 2024-03 and does not believe that such amendments would have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or future financials.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On March 30, 2023, the Company sold 6,000,000 Public Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000 related to the IPO. Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share (each, a “Public Share”), and one right (each, a “Public Right”) entitling the holder thereof to receive two-tenths of one ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination.
NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENTS
The Sponsor has purchased an aggregate of 370,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, amounting to $3,700,000, from the Company in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Each Unit will consist of one ordinary share, and one right (“Private Right”). Ten Public Rights will entitle the holder to two ordinary shares. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be added to the net proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a business combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). The Private Placement Units and Private Rights (including the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Rights) will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination, subject to certain exceptions.

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, and Units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Right and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a business combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
The A&R Merger Agreement contemplates that, at or prior to the Closing, the Sponsor and certain Elong shareholders have, or will prior to Closing, enter into a registration rights agreement with Elong (the “New Registration Rights Agreement”), in a form agreed to by the parties to such agreement, provided that such agreement will have customary terms and conditions including at least three (3) sets of demand registration rights and piggyback rights. In addition, prior to the Closing, in connection with the entry into the New Registration Rights Agreements, the Company shall cause to be terminated all existing registration rights agreements entered into between the Company and any other party, including the Sponsor. No parties to any such terminated registration rights agreements shall have any further rights or obligations thereunder.
Finder’s Agreement
In April 2023, the Company entered into a consultant agreement with a service provider to help introduce and identify potential targets and negotiate terms of potential business combination. In connection with this agreement, the Company will be required to pay a finder’s fee for such services, in an aggregate of 900,000 shares of the combined listing entity upon the closing of the business combination.
Engagement for Legal Services
The Company has a contingent fee arrangement with their legal counsel pursuant to which a flat fee of $600,000 is payable to the Company’s legal counsel in connection with the business combination. In the event that the actual legal fee exceeds $600,000, the Company will issue the exceeding amount in equity, at 25% discount to the closing price of the business combination. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the legal fee did not exceed $600,000, respectively.
Note 7 - Shareholders’ Equity
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred shares - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred shares issued or outstanding.
Ordinary Shares - The Company was authorized to issue 150,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A and Class B ordinary shares were entitled to one vote for each share.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 2,140,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding for both the periods, which does not include 225,000 ordinary shares forfeited as the over-allotment option was not exercised and includes 270,000 Representative Shares and 370,000 Private Placement Units.
Representative Shares — Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company issued to Maxim Partners LLC, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, 270,000 Representative Shares (the “Representative Shares”). The underwriter has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such Representative Shares without prior consent of the Company until the completion of the initial business combination. In addition, the Representative has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within 12 months (or up to 21 months, if applicable) from the Closing of the Offering. The Representative Shares are classified as equity in accordance with ASC 718, Shared-Based Payment, and measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued. The fair value of the Representative Shares was $1,741,500 at IPO date.
Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a business combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive two-tenths (2/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the initial business combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman law. In the event the Company is not the surviving company upon completion of the initial business combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the two-tenths (2/10) of one ordinary share underlying each right upon consummation of the business combination. If the Company is unable to complete the initial business combination within the required time period and the Company will redeem the public shares for the funds held in the trust account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless. The rights are indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares and meet each of the specified elements to be classified as equity. The rights were measured at fair value on the IPO date which was used for the allocation of the deferred offering costs (see Note 2).
NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| | |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transaction that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date these unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued. Based on review, management identified the following subsequent event that is required disclosure in the financial statements:
| (1) | On October 1, 2024, a total of $19,145,147 was removed from the trust account to pay the shareholders who exercised their redemption rights in connection with the Company’s extension amendment proposal. |
| | |
| (2) | On October 2, 2024, the Company filed a definitive Proxy Statement seeking to obtain shareholder approval, among all proposals, in connection with its previously announced Business Combination with Elong. |
| (3) | On October 23, 2024, Ms. Xiaozhen Li, a limited partner of the Sponsor, deposited $140,000 into the Trust Account in order to effect the additional one (1) month extension, extending the Company’s liquidation date to November 30, 2024. In connection with the deposit, on October 23, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note to Ms. Xiaozhen Li with a principal amount of $140,000 (“Convertible Note 10”). The Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Business Combination. Ms. Li may, at its election, convert the Convertible Note 10, in whole or in part, into the Company’s units, provided that written notice of such intention is given to the Company at least two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination. The number of the Company’s units to be received by Ms. Li in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to Elong by (y) $10.00. Each unit of the Company consists of one ordinary share of the Company and one right to receive two-tenths (2/10) of one ordinary share of the Company. |
| (4) | On October 29, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Business Combination EGM”), at which the Company’s shareholders approved, among all proposals, in connection with its previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Elong. Holders of 4,247,501 public redeemable shares exercised their redemption rights for a pro rata portion of the trust amount. The estimated redemption price is approximately $11.30 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $48,000,000 in total. The Company estimated that there would be approximately $475,000 remain in the trust account after the redemption. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to TMT Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes related thereto. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the private placement of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception to September 30, 2024, have been organizational activities and those necessary to consummate the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and activities for the initial business combination, described below. Following our IPO, we will not generate any operating revenues until the completion of our initial business combination. We generated non-operating income in the form of interest income after the IPO. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of $493,852, which consists of income from trust of $863,959 being net off by loss of $340,107 derived from formation and operating costs and of $30,000 derived from administrative fees.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of $1,251,902, which consists of income from trust of $2,259,388 being net off by loss of $917,486 derived from formation and operating costs and of $90,000 derived from administrative fees.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of $685,420, which consists of income from trust of $804,420 being net off by loss of $89,000 derived from formation and operating costs and $30,000 derived from administrative fees.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of $1,056,943, which consists of income from trust of $1,406,946 being net off by loss of $280,003 derived from formation and operating costs and $70,000 derived from administrative fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 30, 2023, we consummated our IPO of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we consummated the sale of 370,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating total gross proceeds of $3,700,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $3,868,701 consisting of $1,200,000 of underwriting discount and $2,668,701 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of our IPO, an aggregate of $61,200,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds and the sale of the Private Placement Units was held in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”). As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $67,059,866 and $63,460,478, respectively, consisting of securities held in a treasury trust fund that invests in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a maturity of 180 days or less. We intend to use substantially the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less amounts released to us for taxes payable) to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest income earned on the amount in the Trust Account (if any) will be sufficient to pay our taxes. Through September 30, 2024 and 2023, we did not withdraw any income earned on the Trust Account to pay our taxes, respectively. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $89,180 and $46,778 and a working capital deficit of $2,650,198 and $302,711, respectively. The Company expects that it will need additional capital to satisfy its liquidity needs beyond the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO and the proceeds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, management believes that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and such period is not extended, there will be a liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our founders or an affiliate of our founders may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,800,000 of such loans may be convertible into working capital units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The working capital units would be identical to the private units, each consisting of one ordinary share and one right with the same exercise price, exercisability and exercise period, subject to similar limited restrictions as compared to the units sold in our IPO. The terms of such loans by our founders or their affiliates, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.
Pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we may extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to three times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 21 months to complete a business combination) without submitting such proposed extensions to our shareholders for approval or offering our public shareholders redemption rights in connection therewith. In order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination, our sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon ten days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account $600,000 ($0.10 per share) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each three month extension (or up to an aggregate of $1,800,000, or $0.30 per share if we extend for the full nine months). Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. Any such loans will be non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of our initial business combination. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. If we do not complete a business combination, we will not repay such loans.
On December 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, TMT Merger Sub, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and eLong Power Holding Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Elong”). Pursuant to such a merger agreement, the corporate existence of TMT Merger Sub will cease. Upon consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), among other things, the Company will acquire all outstanding equity interests in Elong in exchange for ordinary shares of the Company with a value of $450,000,000 (based on an assumed value of $10.00 per ordinary share of the Company). Upon the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of the Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of Elong (the “Elong Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of Elong (the “Elong Class B Ordinary Shares”) will be exchanged for 45,000,000 Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares and Company’s Class B Ordinary (the “Initial Consideration”), respectively, less the number of Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Assumed Warrants (as defined below), allocated among Elong’s shareholders on a pro rata basis.
On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Elong and ELong Power Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Elong (“Merger Sub”). The A&R Merger Agreement amends and restates the Merger Agreement. The A&R Merger Agreement was entered into to modify the structure of the Merger as described below, while the overall economic terms of the business combination contained in the Merger Agreement remain unchanged.
Prior to the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Merger, Elong will effect a share cancellation of Elong Class A Ordinary Shares and Elong Class B Ordinary Shares (together, “Elong Ordinary Shares”), such that, immediately thereafter, Elong will have forty-five million (45,000,000) Elong Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding, comprising thirty-nine million four hundred and seventeen thousand and seventy-eight (39,417,078) Elong Class A Ordinary Shares and five million five hundred and eighty-two thousand nine hundred and twenty-two (5,582,922) Elong Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, less the number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Elong Warrants. The ratio of the reverse share split is based on a valuation of Elong of four hundred and fifty million U.S. Dollars ($450,000,000).
The Company had issued multiple convertible notes to its sponsor – Ms. Xiaozhen Li and Elong, in order to finance its transaction costs in relation to its initial business combination. Below is a summary of all the convertible notes issued as of September 30, 2024:
No. | | Date | | Holder | | Amount | | | Outstanding | |
1 | | 2/27/2024 | | Elong | | $ | 200,000 | | | $ | 200,000 | |
2 | | 3/19/2024 | | Ms. Li | | $ | 300,000 | | | $ | 300,000 | |
3 | | 4/1/2024 | | Elong | | $ | 300,000 | | | $ | - | |
4 | | 5/9/2024 | | Elong | | $ | 300,000 | | | $ | 300,000 | |
5 | | 7/1/2024 | | Elong | | $ | 200,000 | | | $ | 200,000 | |
6 | | 8/2/2024 | | Ms. Li | | $ | 500,000 | | | $ | 500,000 | |

8 | | 9/27/2024 | | Ms. Li | | $ | 250,000 | | | $ | 250,000 | |
9 | | 9/30/2024 | | Ms. Li | | $ | 140,000 | | | $ | 140,000 | |
All convertible notes bear no interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Business Combination. The holder of the noes may, at their election, convert the note, in whole or in part, into the Company’s units, provided that written notice of such intention is given to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The number of units to be received by the note payee in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to such payee by (y) $10.00. Each unit consists of one (1) ordinary share and one (1) right to receive two-tenths (2/10) of one (1) ordinary share.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1,965,000 and $0 is outstanding in total under the convertible notes, respectively. Among all the convertible notes, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1,190,000 and $0 is outstanding under the convertible notes issued to related party, and $775,000 and $0 is outstanding under the convertible notes issued to Elong, respectively. Refer to Note 2 - Organization and Business Operations section of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details.
On October 23, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note with no interest, with the principal amount of $140,000 to Ms. Xiaozhen Li (“Convertible Note 10”). Refer to Note 9 – Subsequent Events section of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details.
Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Management plans to address this uncertainty during period leading up to the initial business combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time. Moreover, management’s plans to consummate the initial business combination may not be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Related Party Transactions
Please refer to Note 5 - Related Parties section of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal year for smaller reporting companies. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2024. The Company has issued convertible notes in 2024, and it did not have any convertible notes before January 1, 2024. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements after this adoption.
On November 4, 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities (“PBEs”) to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements. ASU 2024-03 will begin effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted as well. The Company assessed the impact of ASU 2024-03 and does not believe that such amendments would have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or future financials.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations; Quarterly Results
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Refer to Note 6 for commitments and contingencies. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets. The Company has obligations towards the loans raised in the form of convertible notes from the Sponsor and unrelated party.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, respectively, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our IPO, the net proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement units held in the trust account have invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s lack of qualified SEC reporting professional. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented. Management intends to continue implement remediation steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we intend to expand and improve our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We have improved this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

The Company’s property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
