PART I
Item 1. Business
General Overview
Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company", "we" or "us"), is an independent studio engaged in the production, distribution and marketing of star driven commercial feature-length films, television series and mini-series, and television movies, from initial creative development through principal photography, postproduction, distribution and ancillary sales. The Company also provides music production. Upon completion of production, the Company expects to receive initial revenues from domestic and foreign distribution contracts headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Effective July 9, 2024, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31st to June 30th, which is the reason this form 10-KT is being filed. Specifically, in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13a-10, the form includes audited financial statements for the six-month transition period ended June 30, 2024, as well as unaudited financial information for the six-month comparative period ended June 30, 2023. In addition, in accordance with section 1365.2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“the SEC”) Financial Reporting Manual (“the FRM”), the Company has included audited financial statements for the two-year period ended December 31, 2023.
As disclosed in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 5, 2024, the Company merged into its wholly owned subsidiary with the Company surviving and operating under its subsidiary's name. The effective date of the name change was July 12, 2024 whereby the Company's name was changed from Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc. to Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. All references to the Company in this filing have been updated to reflect the name change.
In addition to the Form 8-K noted above, on March 1, 2024 the Company filed a Form 8-K to disclose that it had entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rivulet Media, Inc whereby the Company would purchase certain film production assets (from Rivulet Media) in a cash and stock deal. The acquisition was anticipated to close during April of 2024. However, the Company did not receive the requisite regulatory approval (for the acquisition) until July of 2024. In anticipation of the deal closing, the Company transferred both cash and stock to Rivulet Media during March and April of 2024. As noted above, the acquisition was formally consummated, and control was transferred upon final regulatory approval during July of 2024. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, the Company plans to switch its focus to the film production industry. Also, as disclosed in the Form 8-K referenced above, the distribution of shares to the legal acquiree for purposes of consummating the merger will result in the former shareholders of Rivulet Media owning approximately 88% of the combined Company. As such, the transaction led to a change in control where the former shareholders of Rivulet Media gained a controlling financial interest in the combined Company. The Company plans to recognize the transaction as a reverse merger whereby Rivulet Media will be considered the accounting acquirer/legal acquiree and Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. will be considered the accounting acquiree/legal acquirer. Further, beginning with our Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024 the historical results of the combined company will be those of Rivulet Media.
Industry Overview

Principal Proposed Products or Services
We have not achieved any revenues from product sales. In addition, we will need substantial additional capital to achieve our marketing objectives as described below.
Rivulet Entertainment Enterprise Solutions
The independent film industry, also known as "indie cinema", is made up of films that are produced outside of the major film studio system. Independent films are known for their unique narratives, unconventional themes, and distinct storytelling methods. The Company will have lower budgets than mainstream films and are characterized by a focus on creative expression and artistic vision over commercial appeal.
RIVF patents cover both a method of implementation and a system whereby speech recognition and transcription can be operated upon and exchanged amongst users employing disparate legacy protocols through one or more transaction managers having a systems protocol. An underlying key factor in all RIVF patented technology lies in its enabling capability whereby any legacy application protocol can be made compatible with speech recognition and transcription engines with or without modification of the application or the protocol upon which the initiating or the receiving application relies.
Market
The film industry is expected to grow in the coming years, with the global market projected to reach $182.23 billion by 2031. Global Movies and Entertainment Market size was valued at over $100 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow. The independent film industry is in a healthy position, with independent box office receipts outpacing studio productions for the third year in a row.
Some other recent developments in the independent film industry include Box office revenue: in 2023 had a strong recovery. Independent films are finding success by targeting a diverse audience. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok can be used to build buzz around a film and engage with audiences. The availability of streaming platforms and their superior sound quality is contributing to the growth of the market.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. recognizes the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data.
Managing Material Risks & Integrated Overall Risk Management
Currently, the Company does not have a formalized cybersecurity risk management process. However, the organization is working toward implementing a framework for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. This includes assessing cybersecurity risk as part of an overall risk assessment and considering the likelihood and potential consequences of each risk. Plans also include the identification of critical cybersecurity risks (e.g., malware, phishing, ransomware, and unauthorized access) and the implementation of formalized mitigants to address those risks such as cybersecurity policies and incident response strategy.
Third-Party Risk
The Company does not currently engage with third parties in connection with cybersecurity risk management. Third-party consultants including cybersecurity auditors are being considered for future engagement, at which point any risks stemming from the use of third parties will be incorporated into the cybersecurity risk assessment.
Risks from Cybersecurity Threats
The Company has not encountered any cybersecurity risks or incidents that have materially impacted our business strategy, operational results, or financial condition. We remain dedicated to maintaining a strong cybersecurity position by continually analyzing and improving our security procedures to reduce potential risks. This approach to cybersecurity is critical for protecting sensitive information and guaranteeing the reliability of our business operations.
Governance
Director Oversight
Currently, Walter Geldenhuys, president and chief executive officer, is the Company’s sole director. Mr. Geldenhuys is committed to effective governance in managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats because he recognizes the significance of these threats to the Company’s operational integrity and stakeholder confidence.
As Mr. Geldenhuys is the sole director and the Company has minimal employees, he is made aware of relevant cybersecurity risks and related updates on an ongoing and real time basis. To that extent, there have been no critical or time sensitive cybersecurity updates thus far.
Management’s Role Managing Risk
Within the management team, the responsibility for assessing and managing cybersecurity risk falls under the purview of Mr. Geldenhuys, whose background includes running a technology Company.
Monitoring Cybersecurity Incidents
As noted above, Mr. Geldenhuys is the sole Director of Rivulet Entertainment and the Company currently has a limited number of employees. As such, Mr. Geldenhuys personally monitors cybersecurity events and logs for unusual activity or potential security breaches within the network. E-mail alerts are sent in real time as notification for any suspicious activity including phishing attempts, suspicious attachments, and other e-mail-related security concerns.
3
Reporting to Board of Directors
As discussed above, Mr. Geldenhuys is currently the Company’s sole director. Thus, he is either aware or made aware of the Company’s material risks from cybersecurity threats. To that extent, the Company is not aware of any material risks from cybersecurity events at this time.
Item 2. Properties.
Our principal executive offices are located at 7659 E. Wood Drive, Scottsdale, Arizona and are provided to us free of charge by Diana Jakowchuk, our Secretary and Treasurer.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or other litigation that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. Presently, we are not involved in any litigation and to the best knowledge of management, there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This document contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. When used in this document, the words “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify certain of these forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements made in this document should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this document.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2024, we had current assets of $29,933,006 and current liabilities of $192,654 as compared to current assets of $480 and $138 and current liabilities of $350,196 and $343,731 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
5
Because of our history of losses, net capital deficit and lack of assurance of additional financing, the audit report on our financial statements contains a "going concern" opinion regarding doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our president and CEO, Walter Geldenhuys, has loaned or advanced to us funds for working capital on an "as needed" basis. There is no assurance that these loans or advances will continue in the future. At June 30, 2024 we had accrued payroll of $192,654. Further, as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we owed our officers accrued payroll of $219,677 and $162,380, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, Walter Geldenhuys, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, and who serves as a member of our Board of Directors advanced the Company $12,500 and $6,000, respectively. Our Secretary / Treasurer advanced the Company a total of $0 and $38,188 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. All of the related party loans were paid in full as of June 30, 2024.
In addition to the related party loans noted above, we have also made sales of our common stock in private transactions as follows:
During March of 2024, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with one private investor. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company sold 7,500,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share for a total of $3,000,000. The funds were used to pay the Company's debts and contribute to the Acquisition costs. To that extent, the Company distributed to Rivulet Media $2,950,000 as a portion of the acquisition cost as of June 30, 2024. The Company paid no underwriting discounts or commissions.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement for the private sale of 3,333 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $5,000 . On December 29, 2022, the Company entered into an Escrow agreement for the purchase of 2,625,797shares of the Company's Common Stock. The shares were in Escrow until full payment was received on April 19, 2023. and released to JJW Investments, LLC ("JJW"). On April 19, 2023, payment of $305,683 was received from JJW for the 2,625,797, shares of the Company's Common Stock representing 48% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. JJW purchased an additional 170,000 shares representing 3% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock for a total of 51% of the Company.
Because of our history of losses, and lack of assurance of additional financing, the audit reports on our financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained a "going concern" opinion regarding doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will require additional debt or equity financing or a combination of both in order to carry out our business plan. We plan to raise additional funds through future sales of our securities, until such time as our revenues are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations. There is no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations. Our board of directors may attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations that may consist of restricted shares of our common stock. These actions would result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders and may further dilute our common stock book value.
As discussed throughout the filing, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rivulet Media during March of 2024. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed i) to issue approximately 90 million shares and ii) make a $10,000,000 payment to the shareholders of Rivulet Media. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had transferred approximately 67 million shares and made a payment of approximately $3,000,000, which have been recognized as an approximately $30 million asset purchase deposit on our balance sheet. The acquisition closed during July of 2024 and will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition due to the Rivulet Media shareholders obtaining control of the combined Company.
To obtain sufficient funds to meet our future needs for capital, we will from time to time, evaluate opportunities to raise financing through some combination of the private sale of equity, or issuance of convertible debt securities. However, future equity or debt financing may not be available to us at all, or if available, may not be on terms acceptable to us. We do not intend to pay dividends to shareholders in the foreseeable future.
In order for our operations to continue, we will need to generate revenues from our intended operations sufficient to meet our anticipated cost structure. We may encounter difficulties in establishing these operations due to our inability to successfully prosecute any patent enforcement actions or our inability to effectively execute our business plan.

(the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the periods ended June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and 2022 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 June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s ability to Continue as a 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 has incurred net losses and working capital deficits. These factors, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
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 audits. 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 audit 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
The critical audit matters communicated below 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. The 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 below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Fair Value of Consideration for Asset Purchase
As described in Note 7 to the Company’s financial statements, the Company adheres to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. When the Company issued shares for the asset purchase agreement, they utilized the share price based on its most recent sale of unregistered securities.
We identified the Company’s application of the accounting for the fair value of consideration given for the asset purchase agreement as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination of this critical audit matter related to the high degree of subjectivity in the Company’s judgments in determining the qualitative factors. Auditing these judgments and assumptions by the Company involves auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit evidence and effort required to address these matters.
The primary procedures we performed to address these critical audit matters included the following:
·We obtained the asset purchase agreement and memo of management’s accounting treatment for the transaction, and subscription agreement for unregistered sale of securities and performed the following procedures:
-Reviewed agreements for all relevant terms.
-Tested management’s identification and treatment of agreement terms.
-Recalculated management’s fair value based on the terms in the agreements.
-Assessed the terms and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s application of their accounting policies, along with their use of estimates, in the determination of the fair value of consideration.

Rivulet Entertainment, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Operations
Company Overview
The operations of Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) commenced in 1994 with a predecessor entity called NCC, Inc. NCC, Inc. was incorporated on March 15, 1994, in the State of Ohio. NCC, Inc. operated as a software and hardware development company that marketed voice recognition and transcription products for commercial applications.
In May 2000, WG Investments, LLC acquired the assets of NCC, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to NCC, LLC. NCC, LLC (also a predecessor to Rivulet Entertainment, Inc.) continued the operations of NCC, Inc. until approximately December 31, 2001, when shifts in the industry’s markets caused NCC, LLC to suspend its operations.
Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc (n/k/a) Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 7, 2005. In September 2005, the members of NCC, LLC transferred all of their membership interests in NCC, LLC to Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. in exchange for 93,333,333 shares (post-recapitalization) of Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. common stock. Following the incorporation of Rivulet Entertainment, Inc., the Company initiated a new business plan and intends to continue its operations in the voice recognition and transcription industry.
Rivulet Entertainment, Inc.is a software development company specializing in speech recognition technologies. Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. has successfully obtained patent protection of its proprietary technology. The Company continues to explore all options to monetize and enforce our patent portfolio through patent enforcement and licensing of the six patents issued.
Reverse Stock Split
The Company effected a 1-for 100 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock on July 3, 2023. The reverse stock split did not change the number of authorized shares of common stock or par value. All references in these financial statements to share, share prices, and other per share information in all periods have been adjusted, on a retrospective basis, to reflect the reverse stock split.
Asset Purchase Agreement
During March of 2024 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rivulet Media, a film production company, whereby the Company agreed to purchase the assets of the entity for consideration of approximately 90 million shares and $10,000,000. The acquisition closed during July of 2024 leading to a change in control whereby the shareholders of Rivulet Media gained a controlling financial interest in the combined Company (as that concept has been defined by Accounting Standards Codification 810). Thus, starting with the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024, the historical results presented will be those of Rivulet Media. As of June 30 2024, the Company had transferred (as a prepayment) approximately 67 million shares and $3M. The prepayment was recognized as an "asset purchase deposit" on the face of the balance sheet and was classified as a current asset as of June 30, 2024.
Change in Fiscal Year End
On July 7, 2024 the Company announced that it was changing its fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30. In accordance with the requirements outlined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-10 and the staff interpretive guidance provided in Section 1360 of the Financial Reporting Manual (the “FRM”), this transition report includes the audited transition period for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and two years ended December 31, 2023. In addition, in accordance with 1365.1 of the FRM, the Company has also provided unaudited financial information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 in the notes to the financial statements.
Litigation
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or other litigation that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. Presently, we are not involved in any litigation and to the best knowledge of management, there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.
15
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The Company is currently comprised of a single legal entity. Thus, our financial statements do not represent the consolidation of multiple legal entities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $38,365 as of June 30, 2024. Due to our limited cash as of June 30, 2024, there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. While the Company does not have any firm commitments from investors to raise capital at this time,, the Company hopes to continue hopes to fund its business through the sale of unregistered shares.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash at June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 of $38,365, $480 and $138, respectively.
Related Party Disclosures
The Company considers the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ASC 850-Related Party Disclosures when determining whether a transaction constitutes a related party transaction. Further, when a related party transaction is identified, the Company i) provides the information required by ASC 850-10-50 and ii) presents the transaction on the face of its financial statements in accordance with Rule 4-08(k) of Regulation S-X.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company recognizes contingencies in accordance with ASC 450 Contingences. We recognize loss contingencies when they are both probable and estimable. To that extent, the Company was not involved in any litigation or other matters as of June 30, 2024 that could potentially require the need to recognize a loss contingency.
Earnings Per Share
The Company determines earnings per shares ("EPS") in accordance with ASC 260. Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase outstanding common shares. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock and performance share awards. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the two years ended December 31, 2023, basic and diluted earnings per share was the same as the Company recognized a net loss in all of those periods and the inclusion of diluted shares would have been anti-dilutive. To that extent, the Company did not have any outstanding financial instruments, such as warrants, options or convertible debt, that could potentially be dilutive to its EPS during any of the periods included in the filing.
16
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions, commencing at the adoption date of the applicable accounting guidance, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of such date.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company’s PP&E was comprised solely of computer equipment, with a five year estimated useful life, as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company did not own any PP&E as of December 31, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires additional operating segment disclosures in annual and interim consolidated financial statements.

Note 6. Income Taxes
A reconciliation of the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate is as follows:
INCOME TAXES | |||
|
|
|
|
December 31, 2023 |
| December 31, 2022 | |
U.S. federal statutory graduated rate | 21.00% |
| 21.00% |
State income tax rate, net of federal benefit | 0.00% |
| 0.00% |
Contributed services | 0.00% |
| 0.00% |
Costs capitalized under Section 195 | (21.00%) |
| (21.00%) |
Effective rate | 0.00% |
| 0.00% |
18
The Company is considered a start-up company for income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced its trade operations, so all costs were capitalized under Section 195 of the internal revenue code. Accordingly, the Company had no net operating loss carry forwards, or corresponding deferred tax assets, as of either June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Further, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2024.
Note 7. Asset Purchase Agreement
On March 1, 2024, the Company and Rivulet Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Rivulet), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement whereby the Company agreed to purchase, with stock and cash, in the amount of 90,784,800 shares of common stock of the Company and $10,069,000, the assets of Rivulet. The acquisition closed during July of 2024 upon receipt of regulatory approval.
As a result of the issuance of common stock, the Rivulet Media shareholders gained a controlling financial interest in the combined Company. As such, the Company determined that there was a change in control and that the transaction should be accounted for as a reverse merger with Rivulet Media being considered the accounting acquirer/legal acquiree and the Company being considered the accounting acquiree/legal acquirer.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company transferred $2,900,000 and 67,361,602 shares to Rivulet Media shareholders in anticipation of the merger closing. Both the cash payment and transferred shares were classified as a current asset on the Company’s balance sheets.
The Company noted that because its shares are thinly traded on the over-the-counter ("OTC") market it would not be appropriate to utilize its share price (as quoted on the OTC market) to determine the fair value of the issues shares. Rather, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 820, the Company utilized the share price based on its most recent sale of unregistered equity securities that occurred prior to the share transfer on April 1, 2024. Specifically, during March of 2024 the Company sold 7,500,000 shares at $0.40 per share for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Based on the $0.40 sale price, the Company determined that that fair value of the 67,361,602 issued shares was approximately $26,944,640. As noted above, both the transferred cash payment and shares, which had a combined balance of $29,894,641 as of June 30, 2024, were classified as a current asset on the Company's balance sheets.
Note 8. Shareholders Equity
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 3,333 shares resulting in gross proceeds of $5,000. Further, during the transition period ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 800,000 shares resulting in gross proceeds of $500,000. Of the 8,000,000 shares that were sold during the transition period, 500,000 were not transferred to the investor until July of 2024.
As discussed in Note 7, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rivulet Media during March of 2024. While the transaction did not close until July of 2024, the Company transferred approximately 67,000,000 shares to Rivulet Media during April of 2024.
Note 9. Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 855, the Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. There were no material subsequent events which affected, or could affect, the amounts or disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, other than those as described below.
Closing of Asset Purchase Agreement
As discussed in Note 7 of the financial statements, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rivulet Media during March of 2024. The transaction closed during July of 2024 after the receipt of regulatory approval. The Company plans to account for the transaction as a reverse merger with Rivulet Media being considered the accounting acquirer. Thus, beginning with its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024, the historical results of the combined Company will represent those of Rivulet Media.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A.Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of June 30, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our review and evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and the conclusion as to their adequacy and effectiveness, included consideration of the deficiency noted below.
We have identified, as of June 30, 2024, a lack of segregation of duties in accounting and financial reporting activities, which we believe is a material weakness. The size of our business necessarily imposes practical limitations on the effectiveness of those internal control practices and procedures that rely on the segregation of duties.
Management believes this lack of segregation of duties in accounting and financial reporting did not result in material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact and, to the best of its knowledge, believes that the financial statements for the transition period ended June 30, 2024 and two years ended December 31, 2023 fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations for the Company in conformity with US GAAP. There is, however, a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or financial statements would not have been prevented or detected as a result of this material weakness.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting 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 reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of its management and directors; and
(3)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024. We have identified, as of June 30, 2024, a lack of segregation of duties in accounting and financial reporting activities, which we believe is a material weakness. The size of our business necessarily imposes practical limitations on the effectiveness of those internal control practices and procedures that rely on the segregation of duties.
Management believes this deficiency in internal control did not result in material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact and, to the best of its knowledge, believes that the financial statements for the transition period ended June 30, 2024 and two years ended December 31, 2023 fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations for the Company in conformity with GAAP. There is, however, a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual financial statements would not have been prevented or detected as a result of this material weakness.
The Company has already undertaken certain plans in order to remediate the material weakness. Specifically, the Company has brought in an outside consulting firm to assist with i) SEC reporting requirements and ii) segregation of duties.
This Transition Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm as we are a non-accelerated filer.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Transition Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
