Ms. McCarley reviewed the Form 990 prior to signing. Pt VI, Line 7a Joshua Brown entered changes to the corporate filing status (SUNBIZ) of the entity without the authorization of the Board of Directors to change the listed board members on several occassions in 2022, 2023, 2024. Similarly he changed the access to entity bank accounts, again without Board authorization. Pt VI, Line 8a No records of meetings exist for 2023. Pt VI, Line 8b No committees are currently organized. Pt VI, Line 15a No actual compensation of officers was remitted in 2023, nor in any prior year. However, the various officers for whom compensation is reported received payments from the entity ostensibly as reimbursements for undocumented personal outlays. As the payments are not supported as reimbursements, they are reported as compensation. Other Part XII 2a - The entity under the former management of 2023 maintained no financial records. All amounts indicated in this Form 1099 are derived from incomplete bank statements obtained by Ms. McCarley. Likewise, compensation paid in excess of $600 as indicated in Part VII 1a cannot be properly reported as the former management documented no Forms W-9 and refused to provide information to support the filing of Forms 1099-NECC Pt XII, Line 2c Ms. McCarley has assumed responsibility for financial reporting since the individual Board members who had that responsibility through 2023 and 2024 have abandoned their responsibilities as Board members. Her work since early 2024 has been to assemble documentation to support the Form 990 for 2023 overcoming the obstructive efforts of prior managment.
