Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The Company has determined that it will not directly provide AI Ethical Solutions consulting. Rather, in those instances of a consulting engagement, the Company will look to subcontract the work to such parties as the Distributed AI Research Institute or McKinsey's QuantumBlack.
The Company offers to major corporations and very high net worth individuals, our Image Library Tax Optimization Transaction (ILTOT). The custom-designed ILTOT involves complex tax concerns. These tax technicalities are best addressed via a Private Letter Ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Company has established a referral relationship with Dentons, the world's largest global law firm, to offer services to facilitate our unique clients in applying for their ILTOT-specific IRS Private Letter Ruling.
Each ILTOT requires original and digital images. The Company’s AI Visual Thesauri has the digital images. El Dorado Family Group, Ltd., the Control Person of the Company agreed to provide possibly the world’s largest private collection of original images. The El Dorado Family Group collection has been independently appraised as having a maximum insurable value of over $2,000,000,000. In exchange for the use of its collection for the Company’s ILTOT program, El Dorado Family Group and its Original Collection Curators, serving as advisors to the Company, have been granted shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company’s new website is: AI-ARtelligence.com
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 30, 2025, the Company filed with the SEC a Motion for a Further Extension of Time Pursuant to Rule 161 to Regain Compliance based upon the written request (submitted as Exhibit A) of the Company’s auditor. The Company and its auditor are endeavoring to complete all required reports and to bring the Company back into compliance as soon as possible, not later than November 30, 2025.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
The Company’s longtime auditor, M&K CPAs, LLC., a firm that specializes in Pink Sheet and micro-cap stocks, was engaged. Audit partner, Cecil Garrick was assigned to the Company. In the opening discussions, management believed that Mr. Garrick was out of his depth. Moreover, his approach did not seem to be based on the principles and practices of accounting (“Nobody with something worth so much would put it into Tautachrome”). Before any work was started, the Company requested Mr. Garrick to stop and return the engagement fee. Mr. Garrick refused to return the money. Attempts to contact other partners of his firm have been unsuccessful. The matter has been turned over to our outside litigator.
It took the Company considerable time and expense to find an auditor who could comprehend the intellectual properties infused into the Company. Therefore, the Company engaged independent valuation expert, C. Zachary Meyers, PLLC. —listed on Forbes 2025 “America’s Top CPAs for Valuations.” The firm valued the Company’s proprietary AI Visual Thesauri at $5,230,085,000.
The Company intends to have its Image Library Tax Optimization Transaction intellectual property valued by the Meyers firm as soon as practicable and as market conditions allow.
Recently, the Company engaged FM Financial Services LLC, a PCAOB registered firm, to serve as its auditor. The necessary reviews of outstanding quarterly reports and the audits of 2023 and 2024 annual reports is vigorously ongoing. The auditor comprehends the nature of the Company’s assets and urgent need to regain regulatory compliance.

None of these parties have received stock equal five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding shares.
All shares of the Company’s common stock were granted pursuant to a benefits plan and or advisor agreement, effective October 1, 2025. Consequently, they were issued as S-8 shares.
