NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2025 AND 2024
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Organization and nature of business
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 8, 2009, under the name Pristine Solutions, Inc. On January 8, 2014, the Company changed its name from Pristine Solutions, Inc. to Eco Science Solutions, Inc.
On June 21, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of capital stock of Ga-Du Corporation (“Ga-Du”), at which time Ga-Du became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Ga-Du offers a Financial Services Platform, as well as Inventory Control and Advisory Software Platforms, and Retail Inventory Control, bringing important enterprise technologies in-house and bringing ESSI an opportunity to expand the reach of its Herbo branding.
On January 28, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Haiku Holdings, LLC, wherein the Company purchased an enterprise software platform, coupling the Company’s consumer engagement applications and e-commerce platform to this proprietary enterprise accounting, inventory management, customer relationship management, and overall business operations, of which was developed by Haiku Holdings, LLC. The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement are such that ESSI shall deliver to the Seller and/or it’s assigns an aggregate of
On April 5, 2023, the Company and eXPO Financial Services LLC entered into a Software Acquisition Agreement (the “Software Agreement”) whereunder the Company has acquired from eXPO Financial Services all rights, title and interest to a computer program referred to as eXPO (electronic eXchange portal) for a total purchase price of $
On April 2, 2025, Mr. Oveson resigned as Secretary and Mr. Rountree was appointed Secretary of the Company. Concurrently, the Board of Directors of the Company deemed it in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders to dissolve Ga-Du Corporation; on April 3, 2025, a Certificate of Dissolution/Withdrawal was filed with the state of Nevada, and Ga-Du Corporation was dissolved.
Going Concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at April 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit of $
Other factors
Factors which may impact the Company’s ongoing operations include inflation, the recent war in the Ukraine, climate change and others. These events may have serious adverse impact on domestic and foreign economies which may impact the Company’s operations as a result of a variety of factors including the potential for reduced consumer spending. The Company is unable to predict the ongoing impact of these factors on the Company’s financial operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2025 AND 2024
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Principals of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eco Science Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ga-Du Corporation, up to the date of dissolution, April 3, 2025. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported consolidated net income. A cumulative total of $
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Technology, licensing rights and software (Intangible assets)
Technology, licensing rights and software are recorded at cost and capitalized. These costs are reviewed for impairment at a minimum of once per year or whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest a need for evaluation. During the three months ended April 30, 2023 the Company acquired certain commercial software (ref: Note 3) at a cost of $
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and were $

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2025 AND 2024
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
$
Cost of Revenue
Costs of revenue consist of the direct expenses incurred to generate revenue. Such costs are recorded as incurred. Our cost of revenue consists primarily of fees associated with the operational charges related to our Herbo enterprise software. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024 we incurred costs of sales of $
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are comprised of the components of an entity in which separate information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group of decision makers, in determining how to allocate resources in evaluating performance. The Company consists of a single reporting segment providing clients a cloud-based ERP platform (“Herbo”) and a financial services platform (“Herbo Pay”) to support the unique end-to-end business requirements of regulated, cash-intensive industries. While the Company operates both Herbo and Herbo Pay, these offerings are considered sufficiently similar to represent one operating segment.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies for our software platforms will include revenue recognition applicable to software-as-a-service including monthly installments for licenses to our platforms over specific periods of time. The Company is not yet generating revenue from its primary operations. The CODM evaluates the performance of the single operating segment based on the Company’s net income (loss) as reported in the Statements of Operations and allocates resources based on ongoing software development budgets and expected marketing costs to engage consumers. The Company’s segment assets, including intangible assets, are reported on the Balance Sheets.
The CODM will review performance upon commencement of sales based on gross profit, operating profit, and net earnings. Operating profit is reviewed to monitor the operating and administrative expenses of the Company. Profitability is important to the Company’s ability to grow and expand operations and strategic initiatives. The Company does not have any operations or sources of revenue outside of the United States. The Company does not presently have any customers representing more than 10% of total revenues for any period presented and currently has no revenues. Accordingly, the CODM considers operating expenses, and other income (expenses) of our single operating segment as reported on the statement of operations and considers our current and total assets as recorded on the balance sheet. There are no additional expenses or asset information that are supplemental to those disclosed in these condensed consolidated financial statements that are regularly provided to the CODM.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2025 AND 2024
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Convertible Debt and Beneficial Conversion Features
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
Stock Settled Debt
In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, $
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS includes a convertible note with a principal balance of $
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary 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.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and an explanation of any additional measures the CODM uses in deciding how to allocate resources. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis, with such disclosures to be made in regard to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company completed its assessment and concluded this update had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recently issued accounting pronouncements (Cont’d)
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 470): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which are designed to increase the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures for financial statement users. The ASU follows investors indication and request for enhanced tax disclosures in order to better assess an entity’s operations, related tax risks, jurisdictional tax exposures, and increase transparency regarding tax information through improvements to tax disclosures, specifically rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and unrecognized tax benefits and certain temporary differences. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to disclose climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. The new rules would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. However, in April 2024, the SEC exercised its discretion to stay these rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain consolidated petitions with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in connection with these rules. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this rule, if any, on our financial statements.

During each of the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company has generated $0 in total revenue.
During the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred total operating expenses of $254,295 and $276,063 respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, management and consulting fees stayed constant at $125,500 for each of the three-month periods ended April 30, 2025 and 2024. Amounts incurred for accounting, audit and legal fees decreased over the comparative three-month periods and totaled $17,459 (2025) as compared to $51,810 (2024). This decrease was mainly due to a substantial decrease in accounting and audit fees during the current three-month period. During the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 research and development fees incurred were $98,717 and $83,872 respectively as the Company continued to conclude upgrades to its software suite. Fees increase slightly over the comparative periods as a result of additional required man hours allocated to research and development in the current three-month period ended April 30, 2025. Other operating and general and administrative expenses decreased slightly period over period from $14,881 in the three months ended April 30, 2024, to $12,619 for the three months ended April 30, 2025, mainly due to a decrease in computer and internet fees.
The Company recorded cumulative interest expenses of $19,126 and $18,550 in respect of certain convertible notes and other loan agreements, respectively during the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
The net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2024, was $294,613, as compared to net loss of $273,421 in the three months ended April 30, 2025.
Currently a significant portion of our total operating expenses are from management and consultant fees. Several costs have been incurred in order to bring our regulatory product to market, including programming of technology, build out of needed infrastructure for customers including sand-boxes, build out of training materials including educational and instructional videos which are housed within our website, generation of marketing materials, as well as efforts to meet, and present, our product before various regulators in various jurisdictions, both foreign and domestic.
Statements of Cash Flows for the Three Months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024
The Company used net cash in operations of $70,593 and $82,816 respectively during the three-month periods ended April 30, 2025, and 2024. Net cash used in operations decreased over the comparative three-month periods as a result of a reduction to amounts reported with respect to changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses from $129,730 (2024) to $123,273 (2025), and a similar decrease in changes in related party payables over the comparative periods from $82,067 (2024) to $78,070 (2025). The Company received cash from financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024 of $69,475 (2025) and $82,283 (2024), respectively, as a result of proceeds from related party loans to meet operational shortfalls.
Plan of Operation
The Company changed the focus of its business at the close of fiscal 2016 to operate in the eco-friendly technology sector using social media sites and offering apps to generate advertising revenues and download fees, and to development certain enterprise software for the cannabis industry. During fiscal 2017 the Company laid the groundwork for income generation from these services by investing in ongoing development of its applications, websites and visibility in both the local and global market. The Company has invested heavily over the last several years to complete development of its Herbo Pay financial services platform and Herbo financing accounting and inventory management cloud-based platform.
In each of the years ended January 31, 2021, through 2025, and in the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company has continued to incur costs to enhance and develop its Herbo software suite of offerings. The Company’s need for ongoing capital by way of loans, sale of equity and/or convertible notes is expected to continue during the current fiscal year until we can establish revenues from operations to cover all operational overhead. We have also had to rely heavily on loans from related parties over the past several years as we work to have our shares returned for quotation on the OTC Markets. There are no assurances additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or that this equity line will be available to us when needed.

Future funding could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Any future funding might require the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.
Going Concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As of April 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit of $16,835,693 and an accumulated deficit of $78,999,693. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, the Company had $1,699 and $2,817 in cash and $2,970 and $4,455 in prepaid expenses for total current assets of $4,669 and $7,272, respectively. As at April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, the Company had intangible assets of $100,000. At each of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company had total assets of $104,669 and $107,272, respectively. Total liabilities at April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, were $16,940,362 and $16,669,544 respectively. The Company has insufficient funds to meet its ongoing operations and is currently funded through loans and advances from our CEO and CFO, Mr. Michael Rountree.
The Company has limited financial resources available outside loans from its officers and directors and funds it has previously obtained through the use of convertible notes and loans from related parties. There can be no guarantee the Company will continue to receive proceeds from loans, related party advances or convertible notes sufficient to meet its ongoing operational overheads as we continue to implement our business plan. While we generated modest revenue in fiscal 2022, we did not report any revenue in fiscal 2025 or in the three months ended April 30, 2025, as we continued to enhance our software suite and we do not yet have resources to meet our operational shortfalls. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. As noted, additional working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private placements, additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, directors or stockholders), or from other available funding sources at market rates of interest, or a combination of these. The ability to raise necessary financing will depend on many factors, including the nature and prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market conditions prevailing at the time financing is sought. During the most recently completed fiscal year management has obtained additional funding with success, however there is no guarantee we will be able to continue to obtain financing if and when required. The current economic downturn may make it difficult to find new capital sources for the Company should they be required.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on related party and third-party loans and equity sales of our common shares and/or shares for services rendered in order to continue to fund our business operations in the event of ongoing operational shortfalls. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our research and development activities.

Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company”, the Company is not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. The Company believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of the Company’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
$0 has been recognized as revenue in the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024. Revenue generated under enterprise software licenses will be recorded in accordance with the terms of the individual Customer contracts. We expect license fees will be recorded on a monthly basis over the term of the contract, activation fees will be earned upon completion of set up and installation of the enterprise software, and customization and/or professional consulting services will be earned as rendered.
Cost of Revenue
Costs of revenue consist of the direct expenses incurred to generate revenue. Such costs are recorded as incurred. Our cost of revenue consists primarily of fees associated with the operational charges related to our Herbo enterprise software. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024 we did not record any sales of our Herbo software suite.

Table of Contents |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Convertible Debt and Beneficial Conversion Features
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
Stock Settled Debt
In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of April 30, 2025, and January 31, 2025, $248,432 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes is included in the “Convertible note, net” account on the balance sheet.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary 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.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and an explanation of any additional measures the CODM uses in deciding how to allocate resources. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis, with such disclosures to be made in regard to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company completed its assessment and concluded this update had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 470): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which are designed to increase the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures for financial statement users. The ASU follows investors indication and request for enhanced tax disclosures in order to better assess an entity’s operations, related tax risks, jurisdictional tax exposures, and increase transparency regarding tax information through improvements to tax disclosures, specifically rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and unrecognized tax benefits and certain temporary differences. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to disclose climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. The new rules would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. However, in April 2024, the SEC exercised its discretion to stay these rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain consolidated petitions with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in connection with these rules. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this rule, if any, on our financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is a smaller reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Act of 1934 and we are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Such officer also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended April 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended April 30, 2025, that have materially, or are reasonably likely to materially, affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On October 20, 2017, a purported shareholder of the Company, Mr. Ian Bell, filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint against the Individual Defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii (the “First Hawaii Complaint”). On January 11, 2018, a purported shareholder of the Company, Mr. Marc D’ Annunzio, filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint against the Individual Defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii (the “Second Hawaii Complaint”). On February 9, 2018, the Hawaii federal court consolidated the First Hawaii Complaint and the Second Hawaii Complaint (the “Consolidated Hawaii Action”). On December 10, 2018, plaintiffs in the Consolidated Hawaii Action filed their amended complaint (the “Amended Hawaii Complaint”). The Company is identified as a nominal defendant, against which no claims are plead. The Amended Hawaii Complaint arises out of alleged materially false and misleading statements or omissions from SEC filings and/or public statements by or on behalf of the Company. The Amended Hawaii Complaint asserts claims on behalf of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty against the Taylors and Mr. Lewis and Mr. Oveson, for aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties against Mr. Lewis and Mr. Oveson, for aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties against Mr. Giguiere, for waste of corporate assets against the Individual Defendants, and for unjust enrichment against the Individual Defendants. The Amended Hawaii Complaint seeks damages for the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting, waste and unjust enrichment, demands restitution and disgorgement and requests an order directing the Company and all individual defendants to take all necessary actions to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance in order to avoid any alleged future harm to the Company.
On September 21, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii issued an order in the action captioned In re Eco Science Solutions, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation Lead Civil No. 1:17-cv-00530-LEW-WRP (D. Haw.), preliminarily approving a proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) as set forth in a Stipulation of Settlement dated September 21, 2020 (the “Stipulation”), by and among (i) plaintiffs Mr. Ian Bell and Mr. Marc D’ Annunzio, individually and derivatively on behalf of Eco Science Solutions Inc. (the “ESSI or the Company”); (ii) certain of the Company’s current and former officers, directors and consultants; and (iii) the Company. Pursuant to the Court’s Preliminary Approval Order, a hearing was held on November 17, 2020, before the Honorable Leslie Kobayashi, in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii and approved terms of Settlement for an Order issued December 3, 2020, including the following:
| (1) | The resignation of Jeffery Taylor as Chairman of the Board to the Company; and Don Taylor as Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Board of Directors; |
| (2) | Appointment of Carl Mudd or such individual with similar background and qualifications to serve as Ombudsman and as Chairman of the Board. |
| (3) | The following shareholders have been ordered to return a cumulative total of 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to treasury for cancellation, as set out herein: (a) Gannon Giguiere – 1,500,000 shares; (b) Jeffery Taylor – 750,000 shares; (c) Don Taylor – 750,000 shares; (d) L John Lewis – 250,000 shares; and (e) S Randall Oveson – 250,000 Shares |
| (4) | The Company shall issue 1,400,000 restricted common stock to the law firm of Robbins LLP, as consideration for attorney fees; |
| (5) | The Company shall enter into a Promissory Note with the law firm of Robbins, LLC for in the amount of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) with respect to legal fees incurred, note bearing interest at a rate of six (6%) percent per annum calculated monthly with all interest and principal due and payable no later than three (3) years from the date of the final Settlement approval; |
| (6) | Debt in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) held by Phenix Ventures LLC, a company controlled by Gannon Giguiere, shall be immediately forgiven and canceled. |

Table of Contents |
Additionally, the Settlement called for 15% of the Company’s revenue and/or any financing raised by the Company be dedicated toward achieving the objectives, implementation and maintenance of the Governance Reforms.
All of the above-listed items in the Order issued by the Honorable Leslie Kobayashi have been implemented except putting aside 15% of the Company’s revenue and or financing as the Company has not yet generated any revenue of substance, nor have they secured any financing to date. Mr. Rountree continues to fund the Company with his personal funds and once the Company begins generating revenue or secures financing, 15% will be put aside. In addition to the aforementioned stipulations under the Settlement, Governance Reforms were set forth, in pertinent part, inter alia, as follows:
Each of the reforms are subject to the judgement of the Ombudsman, Mr. A Carl Mudd and/or the reconstituted Board, and based on the availability of funding.
| 1. | The purchase of Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance |
| 2. | Appointment of two new, independent Directors |
| 3. | Creation of a board-level Governance Committee |
| 4. | Adoption of Written Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Ethics |
| 5. | Creation of an Audit Committee |
| 6. | Enhanced Board Independence |
| 7. | Termination of existing compensation plans – compensation plans that existed at the time of the Order have been terminated. |
| 8. | Immediate cessation of current and future business dealings with third party stock promoters – there is not now, nor has there been dealings with third party stock promoters. |
| 9. | Maintain the Company’s website – the Company’s website is maintained and updated |
| 10. | Creation of an Investor Relations Officer – we will engage an investor relations officer once the company begins generating enough revenue so that Mr. Rountree is not financing the filings required by a public company |
| 11. | Engage In-House and General Counsel – the Company has an in-house counsel and will engage general counsel as necessary |
| 12. | Appointment of a Chief Accounting Officer – Mr. Rountree is our Chief Financial Officer |
| 13. | Create a written Whistleblower Policy |
| 14. | Adopt a Clawback Policy |
| 15. | Adopt enhanced conflicts policies and practices |
| 16. | Establish documentation of Policies and Financial Reporting Checklist |
| 17. | Annually assess the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls |
| 18. | Provide continuing director education and employee compliance training |
| 19. | Establish board oversight of Company’s expenditures |
To date, numbers 1 through 6 have not been fully implemented as there has been no revenue generated and currently the Company only has one employee. The board members are independent, consisting of two members, and the Company has a single person audit committee consisting of Ombudsman, A. Carl Mudd. To date, Mr. Rountree is funding the Company and there aren’t enough funds to implement all of the requirements of the Stipulation. Mr. Mudd continues to monitor the progress of the Company. Numbers 13through 18 have not yet been implemented; with regard to number 19, the Board discusses with Mr. Rountree the expenses incurred by the Company at board meetings. The agreement calls for the above to be completed within four years; however, the implementation of each remains at the discretion, and subject to the judgement, of Mr. Mudd. In the event that the Company does not begin to generate income, or secure financing, the Company will fail.
Of the aforementioned reforms, there has been one new independent Director appointed, an Audit Committee has been appointed, consisting solely of Mr. Mudd, the existing compensation plans have been terminated, all dealing with third party stock promoters has ceased, the Company’s website is being maintained, and Counsel has been engaged. The remaining reforms will be implemented and adopted as funding becomes available, and the Company begins generating revenue.
