Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific financial data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures.

Material Changes
- Dismissal of Auditor: Effective May 13, 2024, SSi dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC ("Borgers") as its independent registered public accounting firm.
- Regulatory Action: The dismissal was necessitated by an SEC order entered on May 3, 2024, barring Borgers from appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant.
- Audit History: There were no disagreements with Borgers regarding accounting principles, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope during the reported periods.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management confirmed that the Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Borgers. The Company is currently in discussions with several firms to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm. The primary risk highlighted is the ongoing "going concern" uncertainty noted in prior audit reports, which remains a critical factor for investors until a new auditor is engaged and financial stability is demonstrated.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the identity and engagement status of the new independent registered public accounting firm.
- Review the most recent audited financial statements to assess the severity of the "going concern" uncertainty.
- Confirm the Company's current liquidity position and ability to meet short-term obligations.
- Monitor for any further regulatory actions or disclosures related to the transition of accounting firms.
