DATA STORAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, Organization and Other Matters

Data Storage Corporation (“DSC” or the “Company”) provides subscription based, long term agreements for disaster recovery solutions, cloud infrastructure, Cyber Security and Voice and Data solutions.

Headquartered in Melville, NY, DSC offers solutions and services to businesses within the healthcare, banking and finance, distribution services, manufacturing, construction, education, and government industries. DSC derives its revenues from subscription services and solutions, managed services, software and maintenance, equipment, and onboarding provisioning. DSC maintains infrastructure and storage equipment in six technical centers in New York, Massachusetts, Texas, North Carolina, and Canada.

On May 31, 2021, the Company completed a merger of Flagship Solutions, LLC (“Flagship”) (a Florida limited liability company) and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Data Storage FL, LLC. Flagship is a provider of Hybrid Cloud solutions, managed services, and cloud solutions. On January 1, 2024 Flagship Solutions, LLC was consolidated into CloudFirst Technologies Corporation.

On January 27, 2022, the Company formed Information Technology Acquisition Corporation a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”). The Company’s accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2023 Form 10-K and are updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (i) CloudFirst Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (ii) Information Technology Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and (iii) its majority-owned subsidiary, Nexxis Inc, a Nevada corporation. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the prior period’s total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, net income, or net cash provided by operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company adopted a change in presentation on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in order to present segments in line with how its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance of each segment. Prior periods have been revised to reflect this change in the presentation.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements.” The new accounting rules require that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset (the leased asset) through a lease. These leases should also be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The Company adopted ASU 2023-01 and it did not have a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial statement.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through expanded disclosures around significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU and expects to include updated segment expense disclosures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of specific categories meeting a quantitative threshold within the income tax rate reconciliation, as well as disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU, which can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU and expects to include updated income tax disclosures.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and lease commitments. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts on March 31, 2024, approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheet due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of certain of the Company’s notes payable and capital lease obligations approximate their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rate and terms of such debt given the level of risk to the rates and terms of similar debt currently available to the Company in the marketplace.

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

●

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

●

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)

●

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The Company’s Level 1 assets/liabilities include cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable, prepaid, and other current assets. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts at March 31, 2024, approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company’s Level 2 assets/liabilities includes the Company’s finance and operating lease assets and liabilities. Their carrying value approximates their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rate and terms of the leases.

The Company’s Level 3 assets/liabilities include goodwill and intangible assets. Inputs to determine fair value are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore discounted cash flow models. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property, plant and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets. These assets are measured using Level 3 inputs, if determined to be impaired.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity, or remaining maturity at the time of purchase, of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $640,742 and $1,428,730, respectively.

Investments

Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in equity investments during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023:


	For the year ended December 31, 2023
	Total
As of January 1, 2023	$	9,010,968
Purchase of equity investments		2,307,228
Unrealized gains		—
As of December 31, 2023	$	11,318,196

	For the three months ended March 31, 2024
	Total
As of December 31, 2023	$	11,318,196
Purchase of equity investments		143,369
Unrealized gains		—
Sale of equity investments		(200,000	)
As of March 31, 2024	$	11,261,565

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments and assets subjecting the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained at major U.S. financial institutions. Deposits in these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

The Company’s customers are primarily concentrated in the United States.

As of March 31, 2024, DSC had one customer with an accounts receivable balance representing 59% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had one customer with an accounts receivable balance representing 20% of total accounts receivable.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had one customer that accounted for 32% of revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had one customer that accounted for 33% of revenue.

Accounts Receivable / Provision for Credit Losses

The Company sells its services to customers on an open credit basis. Accounts receivables are uncollateralized, non-interest-bearing customer obligations. Accounts receivable are typically due within 30 days. ASU 2016-13 requires the recognition of lifetime estimated credit losses expected to occur for trade accounts receivable. The guidance also requires we pool assets with similar risk characteristics and consider current economic conditions when estimating losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company recorded $54,136, and $3,886 respectively as the change in expected credit losses. Clients invoiced in advance for services are reflected in deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Estimated useful lives in years for depreciation are five to seven years for property and equipment. Additions, betterments, and replacements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred. As units of property are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The Company tests goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment exists if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. To determine the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, the Company uses many assumptions and estimates using an income-based approach that directly impacts the results of the testing. In making these assumptions and estimates, the Company uses industry accepted valuation models and set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The Company has four reporting units. The Company uses an income-based approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. This approach uses a discounted cash flow methodology and the ability of the Company’s reporting units to generate cash flows as measures of fair value of its reporting units.

Contract receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and are uncollateralized, non-interest-bearing client obligations. Provisions for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable are made for individual accounts based upon specific facts and circumstances including criteria such as their age, amount, and client standing.

Sales are generally recorded in the month the service is provided. For clients who are billed on an annual basis, deferred revenue is recorded and amortized over the life of the contract.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The Company has the following performance obligations:

Data Vaulting: Subscription-based cloud service that encrypts and transfers data to a secure Tier 3 data center and further replicates the data to a second Tier 3 DSC technical center where it remains encrypted. Ensuring client retention schedules for corporate compliance and disaster recovery. Provides for twenty-four (24) hour or less recovery time and utilizes advanced data reduction, reduplication technology to shorten back-up and restore time.

2)	High Availability: A managed cloud subscription-based service that provides cost-effective mirroring software replication technology and provides one (1) hour or less recovery time for a client to be back in business.

3)	Cloud Infrastructure: subscription-based cloud service provides for “capacity on-demand” for IBM Power and X86 Intel server systems.

4)	Internet: Subscription-based service, offering continuous internet connection combined with FailSAFE which provides disaster recovery for both a clients’ voice and data environments.

5)	Support and Maintenance: Subscription based service offers support for clients on their servers, firewalls, desktops, or software. Services are provided 24x7x365 to the Company’s clients.

6)	Implementation / Set-Up Fees: Onboarding and set-up for cloud infrastructure and disaster recovery as well as Cyber Security.

7)	Equipment sales: Sale of servers and data storage equipment to the client.

9)	License: Granting SSL certificates and licenses.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Solutions

Subscription services allow clients to access data or receive services for a predetermined period of time. As the client obtains access at a point in time and continues to have access for the remainder of the subscription period, the client is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs. Accordingly, the related performance obligation is considered to be satisfied ratably over the contract term. As the performance obligation is satisfied evenly across the term of the contract, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term.

Initial Set-Up Fees

The Company accounts for set-up fees as a separate performance obligation. Set-up services are performed one-time and accordingly the revenue is recognized at the point in time, and is non-refundable, and the Company is entitled to the payment.

Equipment Sales

The obligation for the equipment sales is such that the control of the product transfer is at a point in time (i.e., when the goods have been shipped or delivered to the client’s location, depending on shipping terms). Noting that the satisfaction of the performance obligation, in this sense, does not occur over time, the performance obligation is considered to be satisfied at a point in time when the obligation to the client has been fulfilled (i.e., when the goods have left the shipping facility or delivered to the client, depending on shipping terms).

License - granting SSL certificates and other licenses

Performance obligations as it relates to licensing is when the control of the product transfers, either at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the license. The revenue standard identifies two types of licenses of IP: (i) a right to access IP; and (ii) a right to use IP. To assist in determining whether a license provides a right to use or a right to access IP, ASC 606 defines two categories of IP: Functional and Symbolic. The Company’s license arrangements typically do not require the Company to make its proprietary content available to the client either through a download or through a direct connection. Throughout the life of the contract the Company does not continue to provide updates or upgrades to the license granted. Based on the guidance, the Company considers its license offerings to be akin to functional IP and recognizes revenue at the point in time the license is granted and/or renewed for a new period.

Payment Terms

The typical terms of subscription contracts range from 12 to 36 months, with auto-renew options extending the contract for an additional term. The Company invoices clients one month in advance for its services, in addition to any contractual data overages or for additional services.

Warranties

The Company offers guaranteed service levels and service guarantees on some of its contracts. These warranties are not sold separately and are accounted as “assurance warranties.”

Significant Judgement

In the instance where contracts have multiple performance obligations the Company uses judgment to establish a stand-alone price for each performance obligation. The price for each performance obligation is determined by reviewing market data for similar services as well as the Company’s historical pricing of each individual service. The sum of each performance obligation is calculated to determine the aggregate price for the individual services. The proportion of each individual service to the aggregate price is determined. The ratio is applied to the total contract price in order to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable. An impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value, is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds estimated un-discounted future cash flows.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the costs associated with advertising as they are incurred. The Company incurred $232,240 and $189,878 for advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the requirements of FASB ASC 718-10-10, Share-Based Payments with regards to stock-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. The Company has agreements and arrangements that call for stock to be awarded to the employees and consultants at various times as compensation and periodic bonuses. The expense for this stock-based compensation is equal to the fair value of the stock price on the day the stock was awarded multiplied by the number of shares awarded. The Company has a relatively low forfeiture rate of stock-based compensation, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the period is the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including the volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. Risk-free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk-free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on management’s best assessment.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which DSC’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

The following table sets forth the information needed to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023:

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right of Use “ROU” assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, per the election of the practical expedient. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company recognizes variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date, otherwise variable lease payments are recognized in the period incurred. A discount rate of 5% was used in preparation of the ROU asset and operating liabilities.

Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $104,163 and $54,433 was recognized in the Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The intrinsic value of outstanding options as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $653,725 and $391,283, respectively.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the year was the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including the volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the options.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of the Company over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $851,984 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee options granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.

The weighted average fair value of options granted, and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, are set forth in the table below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

To the extent the Company is successful in growing its business, identifying potential acquisition targets, and negotiating the terms of such acquisition, the Company plans to use its working capital and the proceeds of financings to finance such acquisition costs.

The Company’s opinion concerning its liquidity is based on current information. If this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, The Company may not be able to meet its liquidity needs, which will require a renegotiation of related party capital equipment leases, a reduction in advertising and marketing programs, and/or a reduction in salaries for officers that are major shareholders.

The Company has long-term contracts to supply its subscription-based solutions that are invoiced to clients monthly. The Company believes the total contract value of its subscription contracts with clients based on the actual contracts that it has to date, exceeds $10 million. Further, the Company continues to see an uptick in client interest distribution channel expansion and in sales proposals. In 2024, the Company intends to continue to work to increase its presence in the IBM “Power I” infrastructure cloud and business continuity marketplace in the niche of IBM “Power” and in the disaster recovery global marketplace utilizing its technical expertise, data centers utilization, assets deployed in the data centers, 24 x 365 monitoring and software.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Data Storage’s cash decreased by $787,988 to $640,742 from $1,428,730 on December 31, 2023. Net cash of $318,624 was used by Data Storage’s operating activities resulting primarily from the changes in assets and liabilities. Net cash of $302,006 was used in investing activities from the purchase of equipment and short-term investments. Net cash of $167,358 was used by financing activities resulting primarily from payments on capital lease obligations.

The Company’s working capital was $11,454,081 on March 31, 2024, increasing by $442,674 from $11,011,407 at December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and other current assets. This was offset by a decrease in cash and an increase in accounts payable, and accrued expenses.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results may differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. There are accounting policies, each of which requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management, that we believe are significant to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting estimates that affect the consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described under Part II, Item 7 of the 2023 Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we consider and are including herein Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure. We view Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is net income (loss). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest and financing fees, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash income and expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors, debtholders and others to evaluate and compare ongoing operating results from period to period by removing the impact of our asset base, any asset disposals or impairments, stock-based compensation and other non-cash income and expense items associated with our reliance on issuing equity-linked debt securities to fund our working capital.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, as the excluded items may have significant effects on our operating results and financial condition. Additionally, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies’ measure of Adjusted EBITDA. When evaluating our performance, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income, and other GAAP results. In the future, we may disclose different non-GAAP financial measures in order to help our investors and others more meaningfully evaluate and compare our future results of operations to our previously reported results of operations.

The following table shows our reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company this item is not required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, under the supervision and with the participation of DSC’s management, including its principal executive officer, DSC conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, management has determined that, there were no material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures at the reasonable assurance level.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to it, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and the risk factors set forth in our 2023 Annual Report, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the following risks actually materializes, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our 2023 Annual Report. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.

The Company has not generated a significant amount of net income and it may not be able to sustain profitability in the future.

As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had net income attributable to common shareholders of $357,102 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and $381,575 for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $640,742, marketable securities of $11,261,565, and working capital of $11,454,081. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to generate income in the future.

We cannot be assured that we will be able to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Our securities are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, a national securities exchange. We cannot be assured that we will continue to comply with the rules, regulations or requirements governing the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market or that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq Capital Market in the future. If Nasdaq should determine at any time that we fail to meet Nasdaq requirements, we may be subject to a delisting action by Nasdaq.

On January 18, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that due to the passing of Mr. Hoffman, the Company no longer compliant with Nasdaq’s audit committee requirements as set forth in Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq listing standards. Nasdaq further notified the Company that, consistent with Rule 5605(c)(4) of the Nasdaq listing standards, Nasdaq provided the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance until the earlier of the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders or December 30, 2024 or, if the next annual meeting of shareholders is held before June 27, 2024, then the Company must provide evidence of compliance no later than June 27, 2024.

On April 2, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Notification Letter”) from Nasdaq stating that based on the information regarding the appointment of Nancy M. Stallone, CPA to the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee, Nasdaq has determined that the Company complies with the Audit Committee requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Listing Rules 5605(c)(2), which requires that the Company maintain an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom must meet specified criteria, including certain independence criteria. Accordingly, the Nasdaq staff has determined that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) and has indicated that the matter is now closed.

If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange at some future date, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

	●	a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

	●	reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

	●	a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;

	●	a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and

	●	a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Upon exercise of the Company’s outstanding options or warrants, it will be obligated to issue a substantial number of additional shares of common stock which will dilute its present shareholders.

The Company is obligated to issue additional shares of its common stock in connection with any exercise or conversion, as applicable, of its outstanding options, warrants, and shares of its convertible preferred stock.
