Statement of ownership and control

⚠️ This is the one that gets sworn before a notary.

STATEMENT OF SOLE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL

🔴 DRAFT — FOR ATTORNEY REVIEW. NOT EXECUTED. DO NOT SIGN AS-IS.

Prepared 2026-09-08 for ENHANCE BUSINESS CONSULTING INC., NY DOS ID 5238420 — a corporation formed 2017-11-21 under the name ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC and renamed by Certificate of Amendment filed with the New York Department of State on 2026-06-30 (file no. 260630002539). Both names refer to the same corporation and the same DOS ID. Prepared by a non-lawyer for the purpose of reducing a New York attorney's drafting time to review time. This is not legal advice. These documents are intended for attachment to government certification applications accompanied by a notarised affidavit, and must be reviewed, corrected and finalised by a licensed New York attorney before execution.

NOTHING IN THIS DOCUMENT IS BACKDATED. It is dated the day it is actually signed and it recites the corporation's history accurately. See 08-COVER-MEMORANDUM.md.

Every BRACKETED ITEM is a fact that has not been confirmed — see 00-PLACEHOLDER-REGISTER.md.

🔴 This is the document that gets sworn. Every sentence in it must be true and checkable.

The MBE, MWBE and SDVOB determinations all turn on the same two findings: that the owner owns the company and that he controls it. This statement puts both on the record in one place and in the reviewer's own vocabulary, and it is drafted to be notarised.

⚠️ Four things to get right before signing: 0. 🔴 The corporation was named ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC until June 30, 2026. This is a sworn document and the Department of State's public record says so. Any sentence here that says "Enhance Business Consulting Inc." existed in 2017 is a false statement of fact that a reviewer can disprove in one free lookup. § 2 and § 6 below now recite the name history; do not remove it.

  1. Do not sign it before the rest of the file is finished. It attests to the contents of documents 01–06. If those change, this changes.
  2. The credential history in § 5 must match every other surface in the application. Eighteen years in mortgage operations back to 2008 — not twenty, not "since 2004." NMLS 98689 is expired and must never be presented as active. A sworn statement is the worst possible place for a claim that a reviewer can disprove in one lookup.
  3. Section 6 discloses the stale DOS address rather than hiding it. A reviewer who pulls the DOS record will see New Rochelle. Better that this document has already told them, and told them it is being fixed.

STATEMENT OF SOLE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL

ENHANCE BUSINESS CONSULTING INC.

A New York domestic business corporation · Department of State ID No. 5238420

STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF COUNTY WHERE THIS IS ACTUALLY SWORN BEFORE THE NOTARY — ss.:

⚠️ Do not pre-fill the venue. The county in the jurat is where the oath is taken, not where the deponent lives or where the company sits. Fill it at the notary's desk.

ROBERT C. KNUCKLES JR., being duly sworn, deposes and says:

1 · Identity and capacity. I am Robert C. Knuckles Jr., residing at RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS — CONFIRM WITH BOBBY; do not assume it is the business address. My business address is 607 Nereid Avenue, Bronx, New York 10470. I am the sole shareholder, sole director and President of ENHANCE BUSINESS CONSULTING INC. (the "Corporation"). I make this statement of my own personal knowledge in support of the Corporation's applications for certification.

2 · The Corporation. The Corporation is a domestic business corporation organised under the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York. It was formed on November 21, 2017 under the name ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC and was assigned New York Department of State ID No. 5238420. By Certificate of Amendment filed with the Department of State on June 30, 2026 (file no. 260630002539), its name was changed to ENHANCE BUSINESS CONSULTING INC. It is one and the same corporation under both names, with the same Department of State ID number; no new entity was formed and no interest in it was transferred. Its principal office and place of business is 607 Nereid Avenue, Bronx, New York 10470. Its Unique Entity ID is FTHSR55SMJD4 and its CAGE code is 21JN9.

3 · Ownership — 100%. - I own one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation, being SHARES ISSUED — CONFIRM WITH BOBBY shares of Common Stock. - The Corporation has one class of stock. There is no preferred stock and no second class or series of common stock. - I have been the owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation at all times since they were issued, and no other person or entity has at any time, since the Corporation's formation on November 21, 2017 — when it was named ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC — and through and since its change of name on June 30, 2026, held any share of the Corporation, under either name.

⚠️ Why this bullet is worded that way and should not be "simplified" back. Shares cannot be owned before they are issued, and register item B3 (when they were issued) is still open — so "I have owned 100% since November 21, 2017" asserts something the date of issuance may not support. The wording above says two things the deponent can swear from personal knowledge: he has owned every share since issuance, and nobody else has ever held one. That is the substance a certification reviewer needs, and it survives whatever B3 turns out to be.

🔴 Attorney: B1 (how many shares), B2 (what was paid) and B3 (when) are all open, as is A3 (the incorporator). Answer them before this is signed. - There are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible instruments, subscriptions, phantom equity, profit interests, or other rights entitling any person to acquire any equity interest in the Corporation. - There are no shareholder agreements, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxies, or buy-sell agreements affecting any share of the Corporation. - To my knowledge, and after review of the Corporation's financing documents, no share of the Corporation is pledged, encumbered, or subject to any lien or security interest. CONFIRM WITH BOBBY: no shares pledged as collateral for any loan, line of credit or merchant cash advance — this is the negative most at risk in this file, because MCA and factoring agreements routinely take security interests, and the review this sentence recites has not yet happened - I acquired my shares for the consideration described in the Acknowledgment of Share Issuance and Capital Contribution executed on DATE DOCUMENT 06 WAS EXECUTED and submitted with this statement, and my shares are fully paid and non-assessable. (Not "contemporaneously herewith" — the execution order permits this statement to be notarised on a later day than 06.)

4 · Control — sole and unrestricted. - I am the sole director of the Corporation. New York Business Corporation Law § 702(a) provides that "the board of directors shall consist of one or more members." - I hold every office of the Corporation — President, Secretary and Treasurer. New York Business Corporation Law § 715(e) provides that "when all of the issued and outstanding stock of the corporation is owned by one person, such person may hold all or any combination of offices." - I make all decisions of the Corporation, including decisions as to which contracts it bids and accepts, its pricing, its hiring, its banking, its expenditures, and its strategic direction. - I am the only person authorised to bind the Corporation, and I am the only signatory on each of the Corporation's bank accounts. CONFIRM WITH BOBBY BEFORE SIGNING: that this is true of EVERY account, including any opened under the former name ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC and any that is dormant rather than closed - No other person or entity has any right to direct, approve, veto, or share in the management or policy decisions of the Corporation, whether by contract, loan covenant, agreement, or otherwise. - The Corporation is not a subsidiary, affiliate, joint venture, or franchise of any other entity, and no other entity holds any interest in it. - The Corporation's day-to-day operations are conducted by me. CONFIRM WITH BOBBY: whether the Corporation has any employees or independent contractors, and if so, that none of them holds equity or management authority

5 · My background. I am a service-disabled veteran. The Corporation holds an active SBA-certified SDVOSB and VOSB designation. My professional background is eighteen years in mortgage and financial services operations, beginning in 2008.

⚠️ Drafting note, not part of the statement. Do not write "twenty years" or "since 2004" here or anywhere in the file. Do not describe NMLS 98689 as active or current — it expired 2026-01-01 and the renewal filed 2026-02-24 was not granted. If the licence is mentioned at all in the application, it must be presented as expired. This is a sworn document and this is exactly the sort of claim a reviewer verifies.

6 · Disclosure regarding the Department of State record. I disclose the following four matters affirmatively, so that they are understood rather than discovered:

(a) Former name. The Corporation was formed under the name ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC and bore that name until June 30, 2026. Documents predating that date — including its Certificate of Incorporation, and its bank, tax and business records for those years — bear the former name. They are records of this Corporation.

(b) Address of record. The address for service of process presently on file with the Department of State — 134 North Avenue, Suite 204, New Rochelle, New York 10801 — is a former address of the Corporation and is no longer current. The Corporation's principal office and place of business is 607 Nereid Avenue, Bronx, New York 10470, and has been since DATE THE BRONX ADDRESS BECAME THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE — CONFIRM WITH BOBBY.

⚠️ Do not write "is and has been" here. The preceding sentence concedes that New Rochelle was a former address of the Corporation; the Department of State's record shows the Corporation formed in Westchester County on November 21, 2017. Swearing that the Bronx address "has been" the principal office throughout contradicts both, in the one paragraph whose whole purpose is to be unimpeachable. Give the actual date, or say "is" and stop.

(c) County of record. The Certificate of Incorporation states the Corporation's office as located in Westchester County, as BCL § 402(a)(3) requires it to state a county. The Corporation's office is now in Bronx County. It is filing a Certificate of Change under BCL § 805-A to change the stated location of its office accordingly.

(d) Biennial statement. The Department of State's record shows the Corporation's biennial statement under BCL § 408 as past due. Four filing periods have elapsed — statements were due November 30 of 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2025 — and none was filed. The Corporation is filing, which under BCL § 408(1)(c) also supersedes the address of record described in (b), and is paying the fee and any lawfully assessed fine. UPDATE BEFORE SIGNING: for (c) and (d), if either filing has already been made by the date of signature, say so and give the filing date instead of the future tense

⚠️ Do not swear (c) in the future tense on a day when it is already done, or in the past tense on a day when it is not. Match the sentence to the state of the world on the day of signature.

7 · Corporate records. The Corporation's by-laws, organizational written consents, stock ledger and stock certificate accompany this statement. As set out in the cover memorandum submitted with them, those records were adopted and executed in 2026 and are dated accordingly; they recite the Corporation's history since its formation in 2017 but are not represented to have existed earlier. The facts they recite are true.

8 · Truthfulness. The statements made herein are true. I understand that this statement is submitted to a public agency in support of an application for certification, and that a false statement may result in denial or revocation of certification and in such other consequences as law provides.
