PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale by the persons named in this prospectus, whom we call “Selling Shareholders,” of up to 14,482,430 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.00 per share (“Common Stock”), held by certain of the Selling Shareholders.

The selling shareholders, identified herein as the Selling Shareholders, are offering up to 14,482,430 shares of our common stock. The 14,482,430 shares of common stock being offered by the Selling Shareholders are referred to herein as the Selling Shareholder Shares.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock by the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders may sell their shares at prevailing market or privately negotiated prices, including in one or more transactions that may take place by ordinary broker’s transactions, privately negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more dealers for resale. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information. We will pay all expenses relating to the registration of the Selling Shareholder Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Currently, there is no public market for our common stock. We intend to apply to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NOVS.”

Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share. See “Description of Capital Stock” and “Organizational Structure.”

We are an emerging growth company as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and as such, we have elected to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 to read about factors you should consider before buying our common stock.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors,” “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision.

OUR COMPANY

The Company, sometimes referred to herein as "we," "us,” “our," and the "Company" and/or "Novusterra Inc.” was incorporated on September 21, 2020, in the State of Florida. Our fiscal year-end date is December 31. Our address is 12115 Visionary Way, Suite 174, Fishers, IN 46038, our telephone number is (317) 537-0270 and our website is www.novusterrainc.com. However, you should not consider any information on, or that can be accessed through our website a part of this Registration Statement.

Novusterra Inc. will specialize in the development and production of carbon nanostructures, carbon nanotubes and graphene (collectively defined herein as “Graphene”). In addition, Novusterra Inc. will license our acquired patented technology and production techniques to other companies in order to produce Graphene. Currently, the Company is developing application specific graphene products from carbon-based waste streams. Our patented technologies were designed to make use of an abundant and low-cost feedstock of carbon-based waste in an environmentally friendly process. We are targeting developing graphene products that will be used in water filtration, electronic devices, energy storage, agriculture fertilizer recycling and sustainable infrastructure such as concrete and asphalt.

The Company began researching the ability to produce Graphene due to the relationship the Company’s management team had with American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: AREC) (“ARC”) as a result of prior business activities. ARC through its wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Carbon Material LLC (“ACM”), signed an exclusive license agreement with Ohio University (the “License Agreement”) to manufacture Graphene using carbon and carbon byproducts as a raw material using the patented technology owned by Ohio University. The suite of patents was originally developed by Dr. Gerardine Botte, the current Whitacre Department Chair in Chemical Engineering at Texas Tech University and an independent board member of ARC and Chief Technical Officer of ACM. Dr. Botte developed and patented these technologies when she served as Ohio University's Distinguished Professor and Russ Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.

On March 31, 2021, we entered into a Graphene Development Agreement with ARC that provided us with a nonexclusive sublicense from ARC (the “Sublicense”). The nonexclusive sublicense is for certain patents ARC currently has licensed from Ohio University pursuant to the License Agreement relating to the manufacture of Graphene using carbon and carbon byproducts as a raw material. Pursuant to such agreement, we agreed to raise funds via an initial public offering in order to develop and build a manufacturing facility to produce and market Graphene commercially. The agreement also provided that the Company and ARC are each entitled to receive fifty percent (50%) of the operating profits from our Graphene manufacturing and marketing business activity. As part of the above two agreements, Andrew Weeraratne was replaced by Mark Jensen, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chairman of the Board of ARC, as the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On March 24, 2022, ARC signed an exclusive sublicense with Kenai Defense Company, LLC (“Kenai”) for the defense and space industries within the United States (“DOD”) and within any respective defense and space industries of any allied country to the United States. As consideration for the sublicense with Kenai, ARC or its assignees will receive a two percent (2%) royalty on all sales of licensed products by Kenai, or any affiliate or licensee of Kenai. In addition, Kenai shall pay to ARC or its assignees an annual payment equal to twenty percent (20%) of the profits of licensed products by Kenai, or any affiliate or licensee of Kenai, for the preceding fiscal year.

On August 30, 2022, we entered into a purchase agreement for the exclusive rights of the patents which ARC currently has licensed from Ohio University pursuant to the License Agreement relating to the manufacture of Graphene using carbon and carbon byproducts other than the license to Kenai Defense Company, LLC (referred to herein as, “Exclusive Rights”). For the Exclusive Rights, the Company paid ARC 4,000,000 common shares of the Company with an estimated valuation of $1,784,000 in stock of Novusterra Inc., or a value of $.446 per share. The valuation of the stock is based on a 409a valuation completed by an independent third party, Doty Scott Enterprises, Inc. As part of the acquisition of the Exclusive Rights to the patents, Andrew Weeraratne resigned as director and CEO of the Company and Gregory Jensen joined the Company as CEO and Director. Mark Jensen resigned as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Mark LaVerghetta joined the Company as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the acquisition, Novusterra is no longer obligated to pay ARC fifty percent (50%) of the operating profits from our Graphene manufacturing and marketing business to ARC. In addition, ARC has assigned the exclusive sublicense agreement rights for the defense and space industries with Kenai to Novusterra.

Table of Contents

In order to further develop our sublicensed graphene technology, we have signed a lease agreement with ARC to lease land and building structures that ARC owns in Kentucky. The lease is intended to be used to develop, test and build a Graphene manufacturing facility, with such lease payments to be accrued until we have received the proceeds from outside funding mechanisms. Once we have received additional proceeds, we plan to expand our team to help us design, purchase and install the necessary equipment needed to begin the process of manufacturing Graphene from carbon and carbon byproducts.

Graphene has been unknowingly produced in small quantities for centuries, through the use of pencils and other similar applications of graphite. However, only in recent years have the valuable qualities of Graphene been discovered. In 1947, Canadian physicist Philip Wallace wrote a pioneering paper about the electronic behavior of graphite that sparked considerable interest in the field. Further, in 1960, Nobel Prize winning chemist Linus Pauling speculated about how flat, single layers of Carbon atoms would behave. In 1962, such materials were named "Graphene" by German chemist Hanns-Peter Boehm, who had spotted them under his electron microscope the year before.

We have listed detailed uses of Graphene along with our marketing and commercialization strategy elsewhere in this prospectus. However, to briefly outline, Graphene can be used for a wide variety of applications such as water filtration, electronic devices, energy storage, agriculture fertilizer recycling and sustainable infrastructure such as concrete and asphalt.

OUR GROWTH STRATEGIES

Operating Strategy

Our plan is to sell Graphene and license our patented technology to other businesses that are focused on producing Graphene products which could be used in water filtration, electronic devices, energy storage, agriculture fertilizer recycling and sustainable infrastructure such as concrete and asphalt.

Marketing Strategy

According to Grand View Research, an India & U.S based market research and consulting company, (source - https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/graphene-industry) the global Graphene market size is anticipated to reach $3.75 billion by 2030, exhibiting a revenue based Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 46.6% over the forecast period. Rise in awareness regarding the superior characteristics of Graphene is expected to aid the growth and popularity of Graphene. Superior characteristics of Graphene include extreme strength, electrical conductivity, and heat resistance. Key potential applications driving the growth of Graphene market size include electronic chips, energy storage, composite additives and coatings in infrastructure and water filtration & wastewater treatment.

We are focused on licensing our patented technology and producing the raw product of Graphene while building sales channels through our relationships in the water filtration, electronic devices, energy storage, agriculture fertilizer and sustainable infrastructure markets. Upon commercialization, we will further refine our sales channels to produce specific outputs based on customer demand. The Novusterra team has had numerous discussions within its sales channel focusing on current collaboration partners for commercial uses in the future. However, there is no assurance that any such collaborations will come to fruition.

Licensing Strategy

There is an abundance of carbon-based waste streams throughout the world today that could be utilized as a low-cost feedstock to our Graphene manufacturing process. As we grow the business and explore additional international relationships, we plan to license our technology and manufacturing process to partners that can further expand the value to our shareholders.

Competition

According to the research we have performed, there are no public companies that are focused solely on producing Graphene. This may be due to the novelty of Graphene in the commercial market, especially in commercial production. There are a few private companies that claim to produce and sell Graphene, but we have not discovered sufficient information to establish their production capacity or potential. It is possible such private companies may become our competitors. There are also major global innovators and producers in the carbon and coke industry such as Phillips, Seadrift, Petrocokes Japan and JX Nippon who may set up their own divisions to make Graphene in the near future or may already have formed such divisions. In addition, companies in China and India that dominate Graphite production market may begin their own Graphene divisions.

Table of Contents

According to one article (See Harnessing the Superpowers of Graphene, Rich Duprey, The Motley Fool (April 7, 2013) – https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/04/07/Graphene-the-miracle-substance.aspx). Companies such as IBM (NYSE:IBM), Samsung and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) are rushing to tap the incredible properties of Graphene. In 2011, IBM was the first company to use the material to create Graphene-based integrated circuits, having created in 2010 a Graphene processor that could execute 100 billion cycles per second (100GHz). Intel and Samsung are now looking into Graphene-based processors, while Nokia is part of a consortium of 74 companies that received a grant of $1.35 billion from the European Union to determine how to use Graphene to "improve the world." This consortium is experimenting in electronics and mobile communications. The Motely Fool adds that perhaps a better route to understand Graphene is to look at producers of graphite, as that is the material from which Graphene is made. Unfortunately, most of the mineral is produced in China. It produces some 800,000 metric tons annually, with the next closest producer being India at 130,000 metric tons. Graphite is not mined in the United States.

According to the article 10, GrafTech International (NYSE:GTI.DL) is the leading producer of graphite electrodes and was one of the top 20 Graphene patent holders at one time, ahead of such giants as General Electric Company (NYSE:GE) and Bayer. According to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2020, GrafTech International notes that it “is a leading manufacturer of high-quality graphite electrode products essential to the production of electric arc furnace ("EAF") steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. We believe that we have the most competitive portfolio of low-cost ultra-high power (“UHP”) graphite electrode manufacturing facilities in the industry, including three of the highest capacity facilities in the world. We are the only large scale graphite electrode producer that is substantially vertically integrated into petroleum needle coke, a key raw material for graphite electrode manufacturing.”

Another international company that is expanding into Graphene is Germany-based Aixtron SE (NASDAQ:AIXG). In its Report of a Foreign issuer on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on August 11, 2016, it wrote: "One focus of AIXTRON's [research] involves researching processes and systems technology for the deposition of optically active 2D semiconductor materials such as ... Graphene ... AIXTRON offers a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Phase Deposition ('PECVD') technology ... employed for the deposition of complex Carbon Nanostructures (Carbon Nanotubes, Nanowires or Graphene)."

It is possible that the above enterprises have more resources than we do and thus make it hard for us to compete with them.

Employees

As of January 1, 2024, we have two full-time and three part time employees. We plan to hire additional full-time employees upon the completion of this offering.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our Offices

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock, which we refer to in this prospectus as our “securities,” involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Unless otherwise indicated, references in these risk factors to our business being harmed will include harm to our business, reputation, brand, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

An investment in our Common Stock involves a significant degree of risk. You should not invest in our Common Stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should consider carefully the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our Common Stock.

Risks Related to our Securities and this Offering

There is no public market for our shares of Common Stock.

Currently, there is no public market for our shares of Common Stock. We have applied to list our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NOVS”. There is no assurance that the trading market for our Common Stock will become active or liquid. Furthermore, there can be no assurance any broker will be interested in trading our stock. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell your shares of Common Stock if you desire or need to sell them.

If our shares of Common Stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange and if the price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00, our Common Stock could be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

Our stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors and litigation.

In addition to changes to market prices based on our results of operations and the factors discussed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, the market price of and trading volume for our Common Stock may change for a variety of other reasons, not necessarily related to our actual operating performance. The capital markets have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock. In addition, the average daily trading volume of the securities of small companies can be very low, which may contribute to future volatility. Factors that could cause the market price of our Common Stock to fluctuate significantly include:

Table of Contents

	·	the results of operating and financial performance and prospects of other companies in our industry;

	·	strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

	·	announcements of innovations, increased service capabilities, new or terminated customers or new, amended or terminated contracts by our competitors;

	·	the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements, and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

	·	lack of securities analyst coverage or speculation in the press or investment community about us or market opportunities in the smart glass industry;

	·	changes in government policies in the United States and, as our international business increases, in other foreign countries;

	·	changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities or research analysts who track our Common Stock or failure of our actual results of operations to meet those expectations;

	·	market and industry perception of our success, or lack thereof, in pursuing our growth strategy;

	·	changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;

	·	any lawsuit involving us, our services or our products;

	·	arrival and departure of key personnel;

	·	sales of Common Stock by us, our investors or members of our management team; and

	·	changes in general market, economic and political conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from natural or man- made disasters.

Any of these factors, as well as broader market and industry factors, may result in large and sudden changes in the trading volume of our Common Stock and could seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. This may prevent you from being able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for your shares, if at all. In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s shares, stockholders often institute securities class action litigation against that company. Our involvement in any class action suit or other legal proceeding could divert our senior management’s attention and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock will likely decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will rely in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts, over whom we have no control, publish about us and our business. We may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the market price for our Common Stock could decline. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, the market price of our Common Stock could decline if one or more equity analysts downgrade our Common Stock or if those analysts issue unfavorable commentary, even if it is inaccurate, or cease publishing reports about us or our business.

Assuming we obtain an Exchange listing, we will incur material increased costs and become subject to additional regulations and requirements.

As a newly exchange listed public company, we will incur material additional legal, accounting and other expenses including recruiting and retaining qualified independent directors, payment of annual Exchange fees, and satisfying Exchange standards for companies listed with it. If our Common Stock is listed on an Exchange, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate Exchange listing requirements, our Common Stock may be delisted. If we fail to meet any of the Exchange’s listing standards, our Common Stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our Common Stock from the Exchange may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common Stock. The delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.

Table of Contents

We may acquire certain synergistic businesses already in operation in exchange for stock of our company and such acquisition efforts in future periods may be dilutive to our then current shareholders.

Our business model may result in the issuance of our securities to consummate certain acquisitions in the future. As a result, the percentage ownership of our Company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our Common Stock. As we will generally not be required to obtain the consent of our shareholders before entering into acquisition transactions, shareholders are dependent upon the judgment of our management in determining the number of, and characteristics of stock issued as consideration in an acquisition.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our Company is a newly started business and may contain the ordinary risks all new businesses have to go through in the early years.

We were formed on September 21, 2020, and our objective is to further develop our patented technology and to build a Graphene manufacturing facility. Our business prospects are difficult to predict because of the early stage of development, our unproven business strategy, and our capital needs. Like most newly begun companies, we have incurred losses since we began and may continue to incur losses. As a development stage company, we face numerous risks and uncertainties in implementing our business plan and there are no assurances that we will be successful.

Ownership and control of our Company is concentrated in our management.

As of the date of this Prospectus, our officers and directors beneficially own or control approximately 12.17% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. Following this offering, our directors and officers will own approximately 12.17% of our Common Stock. As a result, they will be able to influence or control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers, acquisitions or other extraordinary transactions. These stockholders may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and that may be adverse to your interests. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their stock as part of a sale of our company, and might ultimately affect the potential market price of our stock. Conversely, this concentration may facilitate a change in control at a time when you and other investors may prefer not to sell.

We have no history of manufacturing Graphene and will be conducting the process based on experiments made in a lab.

We are an early-stage company and have no history of manufacturing and marketing Graphene. The Exclusive Right patents we acquired from our partner ARC are based on tests done in a lab to make Graphene using Carbon. As such, any future revenues and profits are uncertain until we can make them commercially and begin marketing them.

Our planned Graphene production facility in Kentucky depends on the Exclusive Rights of patented technology that we have acquired from ARC, of which ARC has licensed it from a third party. If the license agreement between ARC and the third party is terminated, we may lose our ability to use such patented technology.

Our Graphene manufacturing facility will use production methods that have been patented by Ohio University, which have been licensed to ARC of which we have acquired the Exclusive Rights license from ARC. The rights and obligations of our Exclusive Rights will be governed by ARC’s rights and obligations under the License Agreement with Ohio University. We believe it is a standard patent/technology license agreement with typical, boilerplate termination provisions and as in all standard agreements, it could be terminated due to any disputes and if any such termination happened, we may lose our ability to use such patented technology.

The License Agreement is between Ohio University and ACM (wholly owned subsidiary of ARC) and was effective on February 10, 2021. The term of the License Agreement runs from February 10, 2021, until such time as the last of the Patent Rights as identified in the License Agreement expires pursuant to federal patent law. The License Agreement allows ACM to utilize the patent rights and/or technology rights identified therein to facilitate the development and production of Graphene from carbon and carbon byproducts, as such terms are defined in the License Agreement. A copy of the License Agreement is included as an exhibit to this prospectus and each prospective investor is encouraged to thoroughly review the License Agreement.

The License Agreement requires, among other things, that ACM maintain a bona fide, funded, ongoing and active research, development, manufacturing, marketing and sales program to diligently make, offer for sale and sell Licensed Products so that Licensed Products are currently available to the public as soon as commercially practicable; and, fulfill various Diligence Milestone events identified in the License Agreement. The Diligence Milestones include developing a final design for a pilot facility to exploit the Licensed Product; completion of construction of the pilot facility; developing a final design for a commercial facility to exploit the Licensed Product; identifying feedstock material sources for the Licensed Product; completing construction of the commercial facility; obtaining the first commercial sale of product exploiting the Licensed Product; and obtaining net sales of a minimum of $1,000,000.00. The deadlines for these various Diligence Milestones run from January 1, 2022, through January 1, 2026. There can be no assurances that ACM will meet any of the Diligence Milestones identified in the License Agreement. The failure to meet any one or more of the Diligence Milestones may be treated as a breach of the License and could result in termination of the License Agreement and our corresponding Sublicense.

Consideration for granting of the License Agreement consisted of a nonrefundable payment of $99,773. Additionally, the License Agreement provides for the payment of royalties in amounts ranging from 1.5% to 2% of net sales of the licensed products. The License Agreement also provides for payment of minimum royalties by ACM in amounts ranging from $7,500 beginning in calendar year 2025 up to $125,000 beginning in calendar year 2027. We are required to pay those amounts on behalf of ACM and there is no assurance we will be able to pay the royalties due under the License Agreement on a timely basis. The failure to make any of the royalty payments may be deemed a breach of the License Agreement and could result in termination of the License Agreement and our corresponding Sublicense.

The License Agreement also provides that ACM shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the Patent Rights within 30 days after receipt of each invoice by ACM. The licensor may also require ACM to prepay costs and expenses predicated for certain Patent Rights upon written request by the licensor. The failure of ACM to make any required payment shall be considered a payment default under the terms of the License Agreement. There can be no assurances that ACM will be able to pay the intellectual property management expenses due under the License Agreement on a timely basis. The failure to make any of these payments could result in termination of the License Agreement and our corresponding Sublicense.

The acquisition of the Exclusive Rights requires our Company to raise the capital needed to pay all necessary fees to Ohio University and complete the design, build, and operation of any facility utilizing the Graphene technologies owned or operated by us. A copy of the acquisition of the Exclusive Rights is included as an exhibit to this prospectus and each prospective investor is encouraged to thoroughly review the Sublicense. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise the necessary capital to commercially exploit the Graphene Technologies. Our failure to do so could result in the failure of ACM to meet its Diligence Milestones and payment obligations under the terms of the License Agreement. The breach of any Diligence Milestones and/or payment obligations could result in termination of the License Agreement and our corresponding Sublicense.

We may experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified management to meet the needs of our anticipated growth, and the failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We currently do not have enough management with experience in operating a Graphene manufacturing and marketing facility. We intend to use the funds we raise from this offering to hire such management and/or engage in joint venture activities with others already operating processing facilities. Competition for additional qualified management is intense, and we may be unable to attract and retain additional key personnel, or to attract and retain personnel on terms acceptable to us and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The success of our business model is dependent upon our ability to identify products and applications using Graphene that we plan to manufacture for commercial use. We may not be able to attract enough companies who may agree to substitute Graphene as the raw materials to produce their products and applications.

Once we begin producing Graphene for commercial use and licensing, we will need to look for manufacturers that will use Graphene to make their products or want to produce Graphene for resell. At the current time, there are not many products using Graphene as the raw material. Thus, there is no guarantee that using Graphene as much as their substitutes will be common in the future and as such, we face uncertainties as to the successful commercialization of our product.

Changes in the market price of Graphene, which in the past has fluctuated widely, will affect the profitability of our operations and financial condition.

Commodity prices have been volatile in the past and may continue to be volatile in the future. Future prices may depend on the actions of dominant producers of global supply. If producers restrict supply, prices may increase or, if such producers decide to release stockpiles accumulated during a period, or due to government regulations, prices may fall. Our business depends on the price of our product to become profitable. We may not be able to weather any volatile price fluctuations, which may affect the profitability of our operations and financial condition.

Commodity manufacturing and sales may be subject to significant governmental regulations, which affect our operations and costs of conducting our business.

Our patented production method requires the use of various commodities and minerals. Mineral extraction and processing are governed by laws and regulations governing mineral concessions, acquisitions, development, and processing. There are also laws regulating exports and taxes on such exports, as well as occupational health and safety standards by which we must abide. These will increase our cost of operation and may delay production. Existing and possible future laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of exploration and processing companies, or more stringent implementation, could have a material adverse impact on our business and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in production.

Our facilities and operations may be subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations which affect our operations and cost of conducting our business.

Our facilities and operations may be subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations relate to air emissions, water discharges and solid and hazardous waste generation, treatment, storage, handling, transportation and disposal; the presence of wastes and other substances; the reporting of, responses to and liability for, releases of hazardous substances into the environment; and the import, production, packaging, labeling and transportation of products that are defined as hazardous or toxic or otherwise believed to have potential to harm the environment or human health. These laws and regulations (and the enforcement thereof) are periodically updated and are becoming increasingly stringent. Our Lessor, ARC, has incurred substantial costs in the past and will continue to incur additional costs in the future, to comply with these legal requirements. We expect to incur costs in an estimated amount of approximately $50,000 to comply with these legal requirements as well.

We are dependent on certain key personnel and the loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our success, to a certain extent, could be attributable to the management, sales and marketing, and operational expertise of key personnel, that we currently have and may hire and will perform key functions in the operation of our business. The loss of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse effect upon our business, that could result in our financial condition, and the results of operations to be adversely impacted.

We face increasing competition from other established companies, small enterprises, and other organizations that have far greater resources and brand awareness than we have.

A significant number of established businesses, including major commodity manufacturing companies and their affiliates, and other organizations have entered or are planning to enter the Graphene manufacturing and marketing business. Many of these current and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, research and other resources than we have.

Our management has limited experience operating a public company and are subject to the risks commonly encountered by early-stage companies.

Although our management has experience in operating small companies, current management has not had to manage expansion while being a public company. Many investors may treat us as an early-stage company. In addition, management has not overseen a company with large growth. Because we have a limited operating history, our operating prospects should be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. These risks include:

	·	risks that we may not have sufficient capital to achieve our growth strategy;

	·	risks that we may not develop our product and service offerings in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet our customers’ requirements;

	·	risks that our growth strategy may not be successful; and

	·	risks that fluctuations in our operating results will be significant relative to our revenues.

These risks are described in more detail below. Our future growth will depend substantially on our ability to address these, and the other risks described in this section. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business could be significantly harmed.

We may be unable to manage growth, which may impact our potential profitability.

Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:

	·	Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives;

	·	Maintain a system of management controls; and

	·	Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train, and manage management-level and other employees.

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.

We plan to become a public company in connection with this offering and expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. In addition, failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting and could harm our ability to manage our expenses.

We estimate that it will cost approximately $150,000 annually to maintain the proper management and financial controls for our filings required as a public reporting company that we hope to become soon after this offering. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our stock price and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.

We may not pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock.

We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay cash dividends to the holders of our Common Stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

Table of Contents

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our Articles of Incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Our Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resulting costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.

We are classified as an “emerging growth company” as well as a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $1.07 billion as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact our business, including our potential production facilities.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China and to cause a severe respiratory illness now known as COVID-19. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to multiple countries. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the U.S. government-imposed travel restrictions on travel between the United States, Europe, Canada and other countries. Further, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency, invoking powers under the Stafford Act, the legislation that directs federal emergency disaster response. We may experience disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic that could severely impact our business and potential production facilities.

The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF OUR PLAN OF OPERATION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT RELATE TO FUTURE EVENTS OR OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. THESE STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

Business

The Company, sometimes referred to herein as "we," "us,” “our," and the "Company" and/or "Novusterra Inc.” was incorporated on September 21, 2020, in the State of Florida. Our fiscal year-end date is December 31. Our address is 12115 Visionary Way, Suite 174, Fishers, IN 46038, our telephone number to (317) 537-0270 and our website is www.novusterrainc.com. However, you should not consider any information on, or that can be accessed through our website a part of this Registration Statement.

On March 24, 2022, ARC signed an exclusive sublicense with Kenai Defense Company, LLC (“Kenai”) for the defense and space industries within the United States (“DOD”) and within any respective defense and space industries of any allied country to the United States. As consideration for the sublicense with Kenai, ARC or its assignees will receive a two percent (2%) royalty on all sales of licensed products by Kenai, or any affiliate or licensee of Kenai. In addition, Kenai shall pay ARC or its assignees an annual payment equal to twenty percent (20%) of the profits of licensed products by Kenai, or any affiliate or licensee of Kenai, for the preceding fiscal year.

On August 30, 2022, we entered into a purchase agreement for the exclusive rights of the patents which ARC currently has licensed from Ohio University pursuant to the License Agreement relating to the manufacture of Graphene using carbon and carbon byproducts other than the license to Kenai Defense Company, LLC (referred to herein as, “Exclusive Rights”). For the Exclusive Rights, the Company paid ARC 4,000,000 common shares of the Company with an estimated valuation of $1,784,000 in stock of Novusterra Inc., or a value of $.446 per share. The valuation of the stock is based on a 409a valuation completed by an independent third party, Doty Scott Enterprises, Inc. As part of the acquisition of the Exclusive Rights to the patents, Andrew Weeraratne resigned as director and CEO of the Company and Gregory Jensen joined the company as CEO and Director. Mark Jensen resigned as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Mark LaVerghetta joined the company as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the acquisition, Novusterra is no longer obligated to pay ARC fifty percent (50%) of the operating profits from our Graphene manufacturing and marketing business to ARC. In addition, ARC has assigned the exclusive sublicense agreement rights for the defense and space industries with Kenai to Novusterra.

Table of Contents

We have listed detailed uses of Graphene along with our marketing and commercialization strategy elsewhere in this registration statement. However, to briefly outline, Graphene can be used for a wide variety of applications such as water filtration, electronic devices, energy storage, agriculture fertilizer recycling and sustainable infrastructure such as concrete and asphalt.

Plan of Operation

We are leasing for $5,151 per month land and the right to use various buildings in proximity to carbon feedstock. We plan to accrue the rental expenses to be paid only after we receive the proceeds from this offering.

Based on our plans and analysis it will take 12 months for us to design and commence construction on a facility to manufacture Graphene for commercial use and to begin producing Graphene from Carbon using the patented technology that we sublicense from ARC. We estimate that it will take an additional 12 months to sell Graphene commercially or license our advanced patented technology.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since what we currently have is an Exclusive Rights to make Graphene using carbon and carbon byproducts, using patented technology licensed by ARC, it is difficult to accurately estimate the cost to build the Graphene production factory, since that will require us to hire industry engineers who will assist us in building the Graphene factory and locating and installing the necessary equipment. Once we have received additional funds from additional debt financing, we will use the proceeds to hire such experts.

After we have the proceeds from the additional debt financing, we estimate our administration fee to be approximately $50,000 per month.

As of September 30, 2023, we have $39,210 in cash and cash equivalents. We are currently in the process of obtaining additional debt financing of $500,000 to $5,000,000 from outside private equity partners which we expect will be sufficient to carry on our operations of designing our technology for commercial production. We do not anticipate receiving any revenue from Graphene production sales for at least 24 months but do anticipate receiving consulting or licensing revenues. For consulting, currently we are the subcontractor on one DOD contract, in which Kenai is the main contractor on the DOD contract. This contract spans over a two-year period.

The DOD contract was signed August 23, 2022, and involves working with the United States (US) Air Force to further develop and commercialize one of our patented technologies to produce Graphene products to reinforce concrete and asphalt in US Government air strips. This contract will generate minimal consulting revenue of $27,000 to the Company but will provide approximately $6.5 million of DOD funds to help further develop our patented technology. This contract was initially signed by American Resources Corporation prior to the Company acquiring the Exclusive Rights to the patented technology obtained on August 30, 2022. As part of the patented technology purchase on August 30, 2022, there was an Amendment to the original purchase agreement to clarify the Air Force contract. The amendment clarified that the Air Force contract was transferred from American Resources Corporation to the Company. Per the amendment, American Resources Corporation will receive 10% of all revenue from this contract and the Company will receive 90% of all revenue. See the exhibits for the First Amendment to the Agreement dated August 30^th, 2022, between Novusterra Inc. and American Resources Corporation.

Currently, we have no written or oral communication from stockholders, directors or any officers to provide us any forms of cash advances, loans or sources of liquidity to meet our working capital needs or long-term or short-term financial needs.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements requires management to utilize estimates and make judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates are evaluated by management on an ongoing basis, and the results of these evaluations form a basis for making decisions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements are reasonable. The critical accounting policies affecting our financial reporting are summarized in Note 2 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have determined that all other issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements are inapplicable or insignificant to us and once adopted are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position.

Intellectual Property

We believe that our intellectual property, consisting primarily of patents and proprietary know-how, for which we have acquired the Exclusive Rights, provides us with competitive advantages and is important to our growth opportunities. We have acquired this Exclusive Rights to manufacture Graphene using carbon as raw material from ARC, which holds the License Agreement to such technology through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, ACM. The patented technology is owned by Ohio University. The suite of patents was originally developed by Dr. Gerardine Botte, the current Whitacre Department Chair in Chemical Engineering at Texas Tech University, an independent board member of American Resources Corporation and Chief Technical Officer of Novusterra Inc. Dr. Botte developed and patented these technologies when she served as Ohio University's Distinguished Professor and Russ Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.

Pursuant to ARC’s License Agreement with Ohio University, ARC has the exclusive domestic rights, and the exclusive option on international rights, for the following patents:

	·	Methods for the Synthesis of Graphene from Coal, Carbon Chars, and Carbon Solid Sources; and

	·	Roll-to-Roll Transfer of Graphene and Substrate Recovery.

The acquired Sublicense gives us the Exclusive Rights to commercially produce Graphene using Carbon and coal byproducts using this patented technology. This patent is to produce Graphene from the byproducts formed during electrolysis of coal. These byproducts may be electrolyzed coal particles, gelatinous film formed on the electrolyzed coal particles, or the electrolyzed coal particles together with the gelatinous film. The electrolyzed coal byproduct is deposited as a thin layer onto a surface, or carrier substrate, which is heated to a temperature effective to form graphite while a reductant gas, such as hydrogen, flows over the heated coal product. The reductant gas flow carries the carbon particles and deposits them onto a surface, forming a layer of Graphene thereon. The premise of this invention is that Graphene can be made inexpensively using coal byproduct. More particularly that char, which is the byproduct of electrolysis of an aqueous coal slurry, can be used to form Graphene.

We rely on patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as appropriate agreements to protect our intellectual property. Among other things, we seek to protect our proprietary know-how and information, by requiring employees, consultants, strategic partners and others who have access to such proprietary information and know-how to enter into confidentiality or restricted use agreements.

Regulatory

Environmental

Our facilities and operations may be subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations relate to air emissions, water discharges and solid and hazardous waste generation, treatment, storage, handling, transportation and disposal; the presence of wastes and other substances; the reporting of, responses to and liability for, releases of hazardous substances into the environment; and the import, production, packaging, labeling and transportation of products that are defined as hazardous or toxic or otherwise believed to have potential to harm the environment or human health. These laws and regulations (and the enforcement thereof) are periodically updated and are becoming increasingly stringent. Our Lessor, ARC, has incurred substantial costs in the past and will continue to incur additional costs in the future, to comply with these legal requirements. To our knowledge, ARC is in compliance with all federal and state statutes and regulations at the site that has been leased to us to build our Graphene manufacturing factory and further our patented technology acquired.

We believe that we are able to comply in all material respects with the federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations to which we are subject. Our Lessor, ARC, has experienced some level of regulatory scrutiny and, in some cases, has been required to take or are continuing to take corrective or remedial actions and incur related costs, and may experience further regulatory scrutiny, and may be required to take further corrective or remedial actions and incur additional costs, in the future. Although it has not been the case in the past, these costs could have a material adverse effect on us in the future.

International accords, foreign laws and regulations, and U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations have been enacted to address concerns about the effects that CO2 emissions and other identified Green House Gases ("GHGs") may have on the environment and climate worldwide. These effects are widely referred to as climate change. The international community has taken actions to address climate change issues on a global basis. In particular, in December 2015, the 21st Conference of Parties for the UNFCC concluded with more than 190 countries adopting the Paris Agreement, which then came into force and was legally binding on the parties in November 2016. The Paris Agreement sets a goal of limiting the increase in global average temperature and consists of two elements: a legally binding commitment by each participating country to set an emissions reduction target, referred to as “nationally determined contributions” (“NDCs”), with a review of the NDCs that could lead to updates and enhancements every five years beginning in 2023, and a transparency commitment requiring participating countries to disclose in full their progress.

In the EU, the ETS, which was initially enacted under the provisions of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, requires certain listed energy-intensive industries to participate in an international “cap and trade” system of GHG emission allowances. A third phase of the EU ETS under Directive 2009/29/EC, covers the period from 2013 to 2020 and instituted a number of program changes. EU Member States brought into force the necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions to comply with this EU Directive. Carbon and graphite manufacturing is still not a covered industry sector in the revised Annex 1 of directive 2009/29/EC. On November 9, 2017, to implement the EU’s NDC under the Paris Agreement and other GHG commitments, the European Parliament and Council announced a provisional agreement to revise and make more stringent the ETS during the Phase 4 period of 2021 to 2030. Among other changes, the Phase 4 provisions would further accelerate reduction in the current oversupply of allowances in the ETS market and establish further protections against the risks of carbon leakage. After extensive negotiations, the European Parliament and the Council formally supported the revision in February 2018. The revised EU ETS Directive (Directive (EU) 2018/410) entered into force on April 8, 2018. The EU’s current target for 2030 is to achieve a GHG reduction of at least 40% compared to 1990 levels. In addition, in December 2019, the European Commission presented the Communication on The European Green Deal announcing several upcoming legislative proposals for the EU 2050 climate neutrality objective and for increasing the EU 2030 GHG emissions reduction target to at least 50% and towards 55% compared to 1990 levels.

Environmental

We believe federal and state environmental regulations have not had a material effect on operations, but more stringent and varied requirements of local government bodies with respect to zoning land use and environmental factors may in the future.

Legal Proceedings

In the future, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings from time to time as part of its business. We are currently not involved in litigation that we believe will have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. As of December 31, 2023, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self- regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our company’s or our company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision is expected to have a material adverse effect.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our executive officers and any other persons performing similar functions. This Code provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, and full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports we file with the SEC. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Committees of our Board of Directors and the Role of our Board in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors has determined to facilitate the oversight and the communication between senior management and the board of directors regarding risk of operations and management, which the board of directors believes strengthens its risk oversight activities.

Mr. Weeraratne has served as our Chief Executive Officer as well as our Chairman of the Board of Directors until March of 2021, at which point Mark Jensen took over the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Weeraratne served as our Chief Financial Officer from March of 2021 until November 22, 2021. Mr. Weeraratne resigned from CEO and Director and Mark Jensen resigned as Chairman of the Board on August 30, 2022. As of August 30, 2022, Mr. Gregory Jensen has assumed the role as Chief Executive Officer and Director and Mark LaVerghetta has assumed the role of Chairman of the Board.

Two directors of the Company, Mr. Nichols and Mr. Antic, are considered independent directors under the rules of the Exchange. The board of directors oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of management. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the board of directors does not involve itself in day-to-day operations. Our independent directors keep informed through discussions with our executive officers and by reading the reports and other materials that we may send them and by participating in board of directors meetings.

We have established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. In accordance with the Exchange’s rules, each of our two independent directors, Mr. Nichols and Mr. Antic are members of the Audit Committee, which is chaired by Mr. Nichols. Mr. Antic is considered an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or board of directors who:

Table of Contents

	·	understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;

	·	is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;

	·	has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements;

	·	understands internal controls over financial reporting; and

	·	understands audit committee functions.

The Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Nichols and Mr. Antic, with Mr. Antic serving as the Chairman. Each of Mr. Nichols and Mr. Antic are members of the Nominating Committee, with Mr. Antic serving as Chairman.

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our board of directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. Further, when identifying nominees to serve as director, while we do not have a policy regarding the consideration of diversity in selecting directors, however, at such time as we expand our board of directors, our board of directors will seek to create a board of directors that is strong in its collective knowledge and has a diversity of skills and experience with respect to accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, industry knowledge and corporate governance. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our board of directors has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any shareholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors. Given our relative size and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, our Nominating Committee will first review the proposed nominations, after which all members of our board of directors will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our board of directors will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our board of directors.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Florida Business Corporation Act permits, but does not require, corporations to indemnify a director, officer or control person of the corporation for any liability asserted against her and liability and expenses incurred by her in her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of her status as such, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, whether or not the corporation has provided for indemnification in its articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation have no separate provision for indemnification of directors, officers, or control persons.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by Florida law and our bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

Limitation on Liability

The Florida Business Corporation Act permits, but does not require, corporations to indemnify a director, officer or control person of the corporation for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in their capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of her status as such, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, whether or not the corporation has provided for indemnification in its articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation have no separate provision for indemnification of directors, officers, or control persons.

Insofar as the limitation of, or indemnification for, liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such limitation or indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2023, information regarding beneficial ownership of our capital stock by:

●

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock;

●

each of our directors and director nominees;

●

each of our named executive officers; and

●

all of our current executive officers, directors and director nominees as a group.

Table of Contents

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security. In addition, the rules include shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options or warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after January 1, 2024. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares for which the representative’s warrants are exercisable is subject to the number of shares of common stock offered by us in this offering. As a result, the below table assumes that the representative’s warrants are not immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after September 30, 2023, for purposes of determining the beneficial ownership before the offering.

The information contained in the following table does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

Selling Shareholder Sales

This prospectus covers the possible resale by the Selling Shareholders identified in the table below of up to 14,482,430 shares of our common stock held by the named Selling Shareholders therein.

The Selling Shareholders may sell some, all or none of their Selling Shareholder Shares. We do not know how long such Selling Shareholders will hold the Selling Shareholder Shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Shareholders regarding the sale of any of the Selling Shareholder Shares.

Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the below table, no Selling Shareholder has had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years other than as a security holder of our Company.

We have prepared the following table based on information furnished to us by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholders. Since the date on which the Selling Shareholders provided this information, the Selling Shareholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of the Selling Shareholder Shares in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe that: (i) none of the Selling Shareholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers, and (ii) no Selling Shareholder has direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person to distribute their Selling Shareholder Shares. To the extent any Selling Shareholder identified below is, or is affiliated with, a broker-dealer, it could be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Information about the Selling Shareholders may change over time.

The following table presents information regarding the Selling Shareholders and the Selling Shareholder Shares that each may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Shareholders, and reflects their respective holdings as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the table. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and thus represents voting or investment power with respect to our securities. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power as well as any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days after the date of this table. To our knowledge and subject to applicable community property rules, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all equity interests beneficially owned. The percentage of shares beneficially owned before and after the offering is based on 14,482,430 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on December 31, 2023, and 14,482,430 shares issued and outstanding after the offering (assuming the issuance and sale of no shares in this offering and no shares issuable to certain stockholders immediately prior to the closing of this offering).

Plan of Distribution

We are registering the Selling Shareholder Shares to permit the resale of the Selling Shareholder Shares by the Selling Shareholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Selling Shareholder Shares. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Selling Shareholder Shares in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The Selling Shareholder Shares will not be sold through the underwriters in this offering.

Table of Contents

The Selling Shareholders may sell all or a portion of the Selling Shareholder Shares beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the Selling Shareholder Shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The Selling Shareholder Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

●

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

●

in the over-the-counter market;

●

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

●

privately negotiated transactions;

●

short sales;

●

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

●

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

If the Selling Shareholders effect such transactions by selling Selling Shareholder Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the Selling Shareholder Shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the Selling Shareholder Shares or otherwise, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Selling Shareholder Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell Selling Shareholder Shares short and deliver Selling Shareholder Shares covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Shareholders may also loan or pledge Selling Shareholder Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The Selling Shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Selling Shareholder Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Selling Shareholder Shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders also may transfer and donate the Selling Shareholder Shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the Selling Shareholder Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Selling Shareholder Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of Selling Shareholder Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Table of Contents

Under the securities laws of some states, the Selling Shareholder Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Selling Shareholder Shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any Selling Shareholder will sell any or all of the Selling Shareholder Shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The Selling Shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Selling Shareholder Shares by the Selling Shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Selling Shareholder Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Selling Shareholder Shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Selling Shareholder Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Selling Shareholder Shares.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the Selling Shareholder Shares will be freely tradeable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

Under “Description of Securities,” “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “our Company” refer to Novusterra Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.

General

The following description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws. Copies of these documents are filed with the SEC as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. The descriptions of the common stock and preferred stock reflect changes to our capital structure that will be in effect immediately prior to the completion of this offering.

We are authorized to issue an aggregate number of 3,000,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which (i) 2,600,000,000 shares are Common Stock, at no par value per share; and (ii) 400,000,000 shares of preferred stock, at no par value per share.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 2,600,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2023, 14,482,430 shares of the Common Stock are issued and outstanding.

Each share of Common Stock shall have one (1) vote per share for all purposes. Our Common Stock does not provide a preemptive or conversion right and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Holders of our Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting for election of the Company’s board of directors.

The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to dividends out of funds legally available when and as declared by our board of directors. Our board of directors has never declared a cash dividend and does not anticipate declaring a dividend in the foreseeable future.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 400,000,000 shares of preferred stock, at no par value per share, in one or more classes or series within a class as may be determined by our board of directors, who may establish, from time to time, the number of shares to be included in each class or series, may fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Any preferred stock so issued by the board of directors may rank senior to other existing classes of capital stock with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, or both. Moreover, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock or the existence of the unissued preferred stock might tend to discourage or render more difficult a merger or other change of control. Currently, no shares of our preferred stock have been designated any rights and we have no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

There are presently no outstanding warrants to purchase our securities.

The Board unanimously approved the future issuance of these warrants if needed to secure additional debt financing on August 30, 2023, via an email vote. The approval of the warrants would provide six different entities the option to purchase a cumulative total 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $.01 per share within three years from the future issuance date. To date, these warrants have been approved by the Board of Directors but have not been issued. See below for a list of the approved warrants which have not been issued yet.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued on the exercise of outstanding options, in the public market after this offering, or the possibility of these sales or issuances occurring, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock or impair our ability to raise equity capital.

The remaining shares of common stock will be, and shares of common stock subject to stock options will be on issuance, “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if they are registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rules 144 or 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below. Restricted securities may also be sold outside of the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S.

Table of Contents

Subject to the provisions of Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as well as our insider trading policy, these restricted securities will be available for sale in the public market after the date of this prospectus.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, an eligible stockholder is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144, subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. To be an eligible stockholder under Rule 144, such stockholder must not be deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and must have beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, then such person is entitled to sell such shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144, subject to the expiration of the lock-up agreements described below.

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are entitled to sell shares subject, in the case of restricted securities, to such shares having been beneficially owned for at least six months. Beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, within any three-month period, such stockholders may sell a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

	●	1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will be equal to approximately 126,680 shares immediately after this offering (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option); or

	●	the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 701

Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who was issued shares under a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our company during the immediately preceding 90 days, to sell these shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required by that rule to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling those shares under Rule 701, subject to the expiration of the lock-up agreements and market standoff provisions described below.

10b5-1 Plans

After the offering, certain of our employees, including our executive officers, and/or directors may enter into written trading plans that are intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares of common stock. This discussion applies only to shares of common stock that are held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is applicable only to holders who purchased shares of common stock in this offering.

This discussion is a summary only and does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including but not limited to the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, including but not limited to:

●

our sponsor, other initial shareholders, officers, or directors;

●

financial institutions or financial services entities;

●

broker-dealers;

Table of Contents

●

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

●

regulated investment companies;

●

real estate investment trusts;

●

expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

●

persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more of our voting shares;

●

insurance companies;

●

dealers or traders subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to our shares of common stock;

●

persons holding our shares of common stock as part of a “straddle,” hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;

●

U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

●

partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and any beneficial owners of such entities; and

●

tax-exempt entities.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our shares of common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner, member or other beneficial owner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, member or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner, member or other beneficial owner level. If you are a partner, member or other beneficial owner of a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holding our shares of common stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares of common stock.

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations as of the date hereof, which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, a ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and conclusions reached in this summary. There is no guarantee that the IRS or any court would agree with such statements and conclusions. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes).

WE URGE PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ACQUIRING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, AS WELL AS ANY STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS.

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our, shares of common stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

	●	an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

	●	a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

	●	an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

	●	a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons (as defined in the Code) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under the Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Table of Contents

Taxation of Distributions. If we pay distributions in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our shares or rights to acquire our shares) to U.S. holders of shares of our common stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock and will be treated as described under “U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below.

Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the preferential tax rate for long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the common stock described in this prospectus may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, then a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock. Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock (which, in general, would include a redemption of common stock that is treated as a sale of such common stock as described below), a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount calculated as discussed in the following paragraph. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the common stock described in this prospectus may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the common stock is suspended, then non-corporate U.S. holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any gain on a sale or taxable disposition of the shares would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder is equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock so disposed of. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost reduced by any prior distributions treated as a return of capital as discussed above under the heading “U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions.”

Redemption of Common Stock. In the event that a U.S. holder’s common stock is redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this prospectus under the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Securities” or if we purchase a U.S. holder’s common stock in an open market transaction (each of which we refer to as a “redemption”), the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the common stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as described under “U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” above. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange of the common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences described above under “U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions”. Whether a redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other shares of our stock. The redemption of the common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to a U.S. holder if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

Table of Contents

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution and the tax effects will be as described under “U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions,” above. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed shares of common stock will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining shares, or, if it has none, to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of our shares of common stock, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

All U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding to them.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. holder.” As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock who or that is an individual, corporation, estate or trust and is not a U.S. holder, but generally does not include an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition. If you are such an individual, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or sale or other disposition of our shares of common stock.

Taxation of Distributions. In general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and are not attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment under an applicable treaty), we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a Non-U.S. holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from other property subsequently paid or credited to such holder. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the common stock, which will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below. In addition, if we determine that we are classified as a “United States real property holding corporation” (see “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below) and shares of our common stock are not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, we will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, including a distribution in redemption of shares of our common stock.

Dividends we pay to a Non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or, if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder) will generally not be subject to withholding tax, provided such Non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a United States resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

Table of Contents

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock. Subject to the discussion of FATCA and backup withholding below, a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

	●	the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States maintained by the Non-U.S. holder); or

	●	we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition of the applicable security or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held the applicable security, and, in the case where shares of our common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition of the applicable security or such Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the applicable security. There can be no assurance that our common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

Unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a United States resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or a lower treaty rate).

If the second bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, if shares of our common stock are not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, such Non-U.S. holder will be subject to withholding at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We believe that we are not currently and we do not anticipate becoming a United States real property holding corporation for US federal income tax purposes, although there can be no assurance that we will not become a United States real property holding corporation in the future. We will be classified as a United States real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Redemption of Common Stock. The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s common stock generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder’s common stock, as described under “U.S. Holders — Redemption of Common Stock” above, and the consequences of the redemption to the Non-U.S. holder will be as described above under “Non-U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions” and “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock,” as applicable.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our, shares of common stock. A Non-U.S. holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person (by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption) in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

All Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding to them.

FATCA Withholding Taxes. Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of our shares of common stock which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (1) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (2) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our shares of common stock are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of our shares of common stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (1) certifies to us or the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (2) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has proposed regulations, which eliminate the federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to the gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of our common stock. Withholding agents may rely on the proposed Treasury Regulations until final regulations are issued. All prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our shares of common stock.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Novusterra, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 21, 2020 in the State of Florida. The Company began its operation with a plan to build a Rare Earth Element (REE) processing facility to process & refine rare earth material to be used for various purposes. During 2021, the Company changed its main operations from the plan to build a Rare Earth Element Processing Factory to building a manufacturing plant to make Graphene and market it using the patented technology currently owned by ARC.

On March 19, 2021 the Company held a special stockholders meeting with the majority approving a resolution to sign two agreements with American Resources Corp (ARC) currently trading on the NASDAQ under the stock symbol “AREC”. The first agreement was to issue ARC 10,000,000 Class B shares and 5,700,000 Class A shares of the Company, comprising 51.14% of ownership and 87.57% of voting power of the Company in exchange for ARC using the Company to build a Graphene Manufacturing Operation using certain technology to which ARC has sublicensed to the Company.

The second agreement is a Graphene Development Agreement with ARC that provided us with a nonexclusive sublicense from ARC (the “Sublicense”). The Sublicense is for certain patents ARC currently has licensed from Ohio University pursuant to a separate License Agreement relating to the manufacture of Graphene using carbon and carbon byproducts as a raw material. Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to raise funds to develop and market Graphene made through this Sublicensed patented technology. Due to this agreement, the Company changed its main operations from a Rare Earth Element Processing Factory to building a manufacturing plant to make Graphene and market it using the patented technology of the Sublicense with ARC. The agreement also provided that the Company and ARC are each entitled to receive fifty percent (50%) of the operating profits from our Graphene manufacturing and marketing business activity.

On August 30, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for the exclusive rights of the above mentioned patented technology which ARC currently has licensed from Ohio University pursuant to the License Agreement relating to the manufacture of Graphene using carbon and carbon byproducts (referred to herein as, “Exclusive Rights”). For the Exclusive Rights, the Company paid ARC an additional 4,000,000 common shares of the Company. Pursuant to the acquisition of the Exclusive Rights, Novusterra is no longer obligated to pay ARC fifty percent (50%) of the operating profits from our Graphene manufacturing and marketing business to ARC.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representation of the Company’s management who are responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with GAAP, which is based on the accrual method of accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates may include, but are not limited to, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, patents and trademarks, the ultimate collection of accounts receivable and accrued expenses. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There were no advertising expenses for the nine-month periods September 30, 2023 and 2022.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit, and money market accounts. The Company considers all deposits with financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the Company’s balances didn’t exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined primarily on the basis of past collection experience and general economic conditions. The Company determines terms and conditions for its customers based on volume transacted by the customer, customer creditworthiness and past transaction history. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0, respectively. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet exposure related to its customers.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted FASB ASC 606 as of January 1, 2022. In accordance with FASB ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company records revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services promised to its customers. Under ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model to: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price for the contract; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when the performance obligation in the contract is satisfied.

Contracts with Customers and Performance Obligations

Currently, our revenue is the result of consulting services derived from contracts with customers. The services promised in the contracts primarily consist of various consulting services performed and certain deliverables provided to the customer related to the development of graphene. Contracts with each customer state the terms of the services, including the description and price of each service or deliverable to be provided. Payment terms are stated in the contract, primarily in the form of a fixed payment amount per service or deliverable. Since the customer contract lists a fixed payment per service or deliverable, the contracts do not contain variable consideration. We invoice our customers as soon as the service or deliverable is provided, and a receivable is established.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of measurement in Topic 606. At contract inception, we assess the services and deliverables promised in our contracts with customers. We then identify the performance obligations to transfer distinct services or deliverables to the customer. In order to identify performance obligations, we consider all the services or deliverables promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

Our performance obligations are primarily satisfied over time as we provide services or provide deliverables. Revenue from services and deliverables transferred to customers over time accounted for 100% of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. There was no revenue generated during 2022.

As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, our contracts do not contain any unsatisfied performance obligations, except for undelivered products as stated in the contracts.

Impairment analysis for long-lived assets and intangible assets

The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of property and equipment and purchased intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment and FASB ASC 205 Presentation of Financial Statements. The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company has not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets and intangible assets during any of the periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which is defined under the applicable accounting standards as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measure date. The Company uses valuation techniques to measure fair value, maximizing the use of observable outputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company believes that the carrying value of financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. The financial statements do not include any financial instruments at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Convertible Debt

In accordance with ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with conversion and other options (Subtopic 470-20) and derivatives and hedging-contracts in entity’s own equity (subtopic 815-40), the Company determines if any convertible debt arrangements exist at inception. In August 2020, the FASB issued the above new accounting standard updates to simply the account for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments. This new guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial feature models used to separately account for embedded conversion features as a component of equity. Instead, the entity will account for the convertible debt or convertible preferred stock securities as a single unit of account, unless the conversion feature requires bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. Additionally, the guidance requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instrument in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares. This guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 31, 2021. The Company has entered into convertible debt arrangements on October 4, 2022 and has recorded and disclosed these arrangements in accordance with the above stated standards.

Leases

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for the Company’s corporate offices, and warehouse. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, current and noncurrent, on the balance sheets. Lease liabilities are calculated using the effective interest method, regardless of classification, while the amortization of ROU assets varies depending upon classification. Operating lease classification results in a straight-line expense recognition pattern over the lease term and recognizes lease expense as a single expense component, which results in amortization of the ROU asset that equals the difference between lease expense and interest expense. Lease expense for operating leases is included in cost of sales or selling and administrative expense, based on the use of the leased asset, on the statements of operations. Variable payments such as property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance related to triple net leases, as well as certain equipment sales taxes, licenses, fees and repairs, are expensed as incurred, and leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are excluded from minimum lease payments and are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term for short term leases.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term.

The operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Income Taxes

Income taxes include U.S. federal and state income taxes currently payable and deferred income taxes. Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company, recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period of enactment. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the year in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company filed its initial tax return for the period ended December 31, 2021. Management believes that the Company’s income tax filing positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties, if any, associated with income tax examinations will be to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Related Party Transactions

In accordance with FASB ASC 850 related parties are defined as either an executive, director, or nominee, greater than 10% beneficial owner, or an immediate family member of any of the previously mentioned parties. Transactions with related parties are reviewed and approved by the directors of the Company, as per internal policies.

Stock-based Compensation

In accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), we measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective service periods of the grantee. Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 718. ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”) defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the ASC 505. The Company had stock-based compensation of $19,800 and $5,417 for the nine-month periods September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

• Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the FASB amended “Fair Value Measurements” to modify the disclosure requirements related to fair value. The amendment removes requirements to disclose (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) our policy related to the timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation processes used in level 3 measurements. It clarifies that, for investments measured at net asset value, disclosure of liquidation timing is only required if the investee has communicated the timing either to us or publicly. It also clarifies that the narrative disclosure of the effect of changes in level 3 inputs should be based on changes that could occur at the reporting date. The amendment adds a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 measurements. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022, and other than any additional disclosures presented, it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal year. Dilutive earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares plus potentially dilutive common shares which would consist of stock options outstanding (using the treasury method), which was none since the Company had net losses and any additional potential shares would be antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

	*Nine-month* *period ending* *September 30,* *2023*			*Nine-month* *period ending* *September 30,* *2022*

7. INCOME TAX PROVISION

The Company did not have a material income tax provision (benefit) because of net losses and valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

A reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate to the statutory federal rate is as follows:

*Description*	*2023 Rate*			*2022 Rate*

Statutory federal rate		21.00	%		21.00	%
State income taxes net of federal income tax benefit and others		0.00	%		0.00	%
Permanent differences for tax purposes and others		0.00	%		0.00	%
Change in valuation allowance		-21.00	%		-21.00	%

Effective tax rate		0.00	%		0.00	%

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

	Period Ended September 30, 2023			Year Ended December 31, 2022

Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss	$	252,084		$	139,407
Other temporary differences		1,517			1,087
Total deferred tax assets		253,600			140,495
Less – valuation allowance		(253,600	)		(140,495	)

Total deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had available net operating loss carryovers of approximately $1,197,860 and $661,307, respectively which have an indefinite carryforward period. The carryforwards are limited to 80% of each subsequent year’s net income. The Company has a deferred tax asset arising from the benefits of such net operating loss deduction and has recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of this deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of September 21, 2020 (date of formation). The Company has an operating lease for the Company’s corporate office and accounts for this lease in accordance with ASC 842.

On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a 120-month lease for its warehouse at $5,000 per month commencing June 1, 2021 maturing May 31, 2031. On May 1, 2021, the signing of the lease resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease ROU asset of $501,459 and liability of $501,459.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our variable lease payments primarily consist of maintenance and other operating expenses from our real estate leases. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. We have elected to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company entered into the following operating facility leases:

	·	*Corporate office* - On May 1, 2021, the Company entered into an operating facility lease for its corporate office located in 561 NE 79 Street, Suite 325, Miami, FL with a month-to-month term. The lease starts on May 1, 2021 for $200 per month. This lease was terminated, effective June 30, 2022.

	·	*Warehouse*- On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into an operating facility lease for its warehouse located at 1845 Highway 15 South, Suite 102, Hazard, KY with 120 months term and option to extend. The lease started on June 1, 2021 and expires on May 31, 2031.

10. GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating cost and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan to obtain such resources for the Company include, obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. In addition, profitability will ultimately depend upon the level of revenues received from business operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will attain profitability. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2023, up through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events required to be disclosed as of and for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2023.

To the Board of Directors

and Stockholders of Novusterra, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Novusterra, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 11, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $663,845 and $310,608 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, had working capital of ($275,437) and $5,664 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, had a net loss of approximately $353,237 and $308,070 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $218,546 and $92,754 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with no revenue earned since inception, and a lack of operational history. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 11. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Related Party Transactions

In accordance with FASB ASC 850 related parties are defined as either an executive, director, or nominee, greater than 10% beneficial owner, or an immediate family member of any of the proceeding. Transactions with related parties are reviewed and approved by the directors of the Company, as per internal policies.

Stock-based Compensation

In accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), we measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective service periods of the grantee. Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 718. ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”) defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the ASC 505. The Company had stock-based compensation of $5,417 and $38,500 for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

• Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the FASB amended “Fair Value Measurements” to modify the disclosure requirements related to fair value. The amendment removes requirements to disclose (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) our policy related to the timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation processes used in level 3 measurements. It clarifies that, for investments measured at net asset value, disclosure of liquidation timing is only required if the investee has communicated the timing either to us or publicly. It also clarifies that the narrative disclosure of the effect of changes in level 3 inputs should be based on changes that could occur at the reporting date. The amendment adds a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 measurements. The guidance is effective for the Company with the Company’s yearly filing for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the Company made the required disclosure changes in this filing and going forward.

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

At a special shareholders meeting held on April 4, 2021, attended by majority of shareholders, the Company voted to eliminate the Class B shares and increase the Class A shares by the number of Class B shares then outstanding, and designate the Class A shares as “Common Shares.” Further, at a special stockholders meeting held on April 16, 2021, attended by a majority of shareholders, the Company voted to effectuate a one-for-three (1:3) reverse stock split, which became effective as of April 16, 2021.

Accordingly, we filed an amended Articles of Incorporation on April 13, 2021, to amend as follows:

The maximum number of shares of capital stock that this Corporation shall be authorized to issue and have outstanding at any one time shall be Three Billion (3,000,000,000) at no par value per share of which the number of designated shares of Class A Common Stock shall change from 2,400,000,000 to (1) 2,600,000,000 shares designated as “Common Stock”, at no par value per share, (2) 200,000,000 shares that was previously designated as Class B Common Stock, at no par value per share shall be cancelled, and (3) 400,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value of at no par value per share shall remain the same.

The Common Stock shall be changed to be designated as follows:

The Common Stock shall be designated “Common Stock” at no par value per share, and the number of shares constituting of the Common Stock shall be 2,600,000,000 shares. The holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share. Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to dividends as shall be declared by the Corporation’s Board of Directors from time to time. The Class B Common Stock that was designated at the initial incorporation date shall be cancelled.

The Preferred Stock shall remain designated as follows:

The Preferred Stock shall be designated as “Preferred Stock” at no par value per share, and the number of shares constituting the Preferred Stock shall be 400,000,000 shares. Classes and series of the Preferred Stock may be created and issued from time to time, with such designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative, relative, participating, optional or other rights, including voting rights, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the creation and issuance of such classes or series of Preferred Stock as adopted by the Board of Directors.

The Company has 14,481,347 and 10,481,347 Class A common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

8. INCOME TAX PROVISION

The Company did not have a material income tax provision (benefit) because of net losses and valuation allowances against deferred income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

A reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate to the statutory federal rate is as follows:

*Description*	*2022 Rate*			*2021 Rate*

Statutory federal rate		21.00	%		21.00	%
State income taxes net of federal income tax benefit and others		0.00	%		0.00	%
Permanent differences for tax purposes and others		0.00	%		0.00	%
Change in valuation allowance		-21.00	%		-21.00	%

Effective tax rate		0.00	%		0.00	%

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance.

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2022			Year Ended December 31, 2021

Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss	$	139,407		$	65,228
Other temporary differences		1,087			582
Total deferred tax assets		140,495			65,810
Less – valuation allowance		(140,495	)		(65,810	)

Total deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had available net operating loss carryovers of approximately $661,307 and $308,070, respectively. Per the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) implemented in 2018, the two-year carryback provision was removed and now allows for an indefinite carryforward period. The carryforwards are limited to 80% of each subsequent year’s net income. The Company has a deferred tax asset arising from the benefits of such net operating loss deduction and has recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of this deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.

11. GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating cost and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. In addition, profitability will ultimately depend upon the level of revenues received from business operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will attain profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2022, up through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events required to be disclosed as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
