Note 1 - Nature of the Business

The Company formerly developed, marketed and distributed various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America. Due to the nationwide shutdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company spent a portion of 2020 restructuring and retiring certain corporate debt and obligations, while focusing on implementing a new operational direction.

Through the corporate reorganization and repositioning process, the Company found itself with the unique opportunity to expand its management team and acquire mining claims that historically reported high levels of Lithium and other tech minerals. The Company hired and affiliated itself with industry veterans that bring decades of experience, credibility and relationships.

On November 5, 2021, the Company acquired the rights to 102 Federal Mining Claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah for $100,000. The acquisition was driven by historical mineral data from seven (7) existing wells with brine aquifer access. The independent third-party Technical Report indicated that further investment and development in the claims were warranted.

On April 25, 2023, the Company formed Mountain Sage Minerals LLC, a Utah limited liability company, of which it is the 100% owner. The Company will look to expand its holdings in the Lisbon Valley area with the acquisition of additional mineral claims and joint venture opportunities through this new LLC.

On May 1, 2023, FINRA completed the processing of our application for a name change, and our name was officially changed to American Battery Materials, Inc. At the same time, the Company’s trading symbol was changed to BLTH. These changes better reflect the business of the Company.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are condensed and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair and non-misleading presentation of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2023.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Battery Materials, Inc. and the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries U-Vend America, Inc., U-Vend Canada, Inc., U-Vend USA LLC, and Mountain Sage Minerals LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating, therefore, requires the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, or as additional information is obtained.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Equipment has estimated useful lives between three and seven years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If it is determined that an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value.

Mineral Rights and Properties

The Company capitalizes acquisition costs until the Company determines the economic viability of the property. Since the Company does not have proven and probable reserves as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulation S-K 1300, exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses mineral lease costs and repair and maintenance costs as incurred. The Company reviews the carrying value of our properties for impairment, including mineral rights, upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. During the period ending June 30, 2023 the Company took action to expand on its rights to 102 federal mining claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah that it purchased on November 5, 2021 for $100,000. The Company acquired and staked additional lithium mining claims adjacent to its Lisbon Valley Project in Utah for $106,000. The new claims have been registered with the Bureau of Land Management. The Company now owns a total of 743 placer claims over 14,260 acres, comprised of (i) the 102 original claims held; and, (ii) the 641 new claims. No impairment or capitalizable costs related to the mineral claims were noted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Earnings Per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share reflect the actual weighted average of shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. In a loss period, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were approximately 91 million and 96 million shares potentially issuable under convertible debt agreements, options, warrants and preferred stock that could dilute basic earnings per share if converted that were excluded from the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Certain warrants issued by the Company contain terms that result in the warrants being classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

●

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

●

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that the Company values using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the derivative instruments, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

●

Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 instruments include derivative warrant instruments. The Company does not have sufficient corroborating evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 1 or Level 2.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors, and non-employees to be measured at grant date fair value of the equity instrument issued, and recognized as expense. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally equivalent to the vesting period. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The measurement date for the non-forfeitable awards to nonemployees that vest immediately is the date the award is issued.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control for promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the revenue recognition principles, an entity is required to identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied (i.e., either over time or at a point in time). ASC 606 further requires that companies disclose sufficient information to enable readers of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company recognized $0 revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

COVID-19

Various governmental measures to slow and control the spread of COVID-19 have led to a shift in supply chain constraints and the disruption of economic activities worldwide. Our future operating performance may be subject to further volatility due to the significant uncertainty with respect to the duration and overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are dependent on certain factors, including, without limitation: (i) the extent to which resurgences in COVID-19 infections or new strains of the virus result in the imposition of new governmental lockdowns, quarantine requirements or other restrictions that may disrupt our operations; (ii) the continued momentum of the global economy’s recovery from the pandemic and the degree of pressure that a weakened macroeconomic environment would put on the global demand for our products; and, (iii) the effectiveness of vaccines and vaccination efforts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. This ASU is effective for public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for all entities no earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this ASU will have on its financial statements.

The Company has examined all other recent accounting pronouncements and determined that they will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 3 - Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company had net loss of $1,519,775 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, has accumulated losses totaling $19,374,612, and has a working capital deficit of $2,463,537 as of June 30, 2023. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Unaudited)

Until the Company can generate significant cash from operations, its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional financing. The Company hopes to raise additional financing, potentially through the sale of debt or equity instruments, or a combination, to fund its operations for the next 12 months and allow the Company to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, the Company will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing. These conditions have raised substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements, which has not been alleviated.

Note 4 - Debt

Promissory Notes Payable

In 2014 and 2016, the Company issued two promissory notes in the total principal amount of $70,000. The promissory notes bear interest at 10% per annum, with a provision for an increase in the interest rate upon an event of default, due on December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the note was in default, and the balance outstanding was $70,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued two unsecured promissory notes and borrowed an aggregate amount of $80,000.

The conversion price for the Conversion Shares in an automatic conversion shall be equal to:

(1) 75% of the price under the Triggering Transaction if within 120-days of the Issuance Date;

(2) 70% of the price under the Triggering Transaction if within 121 to 150-days of the Issuance Date;

(3) 65% of the price under the Triggering Transaction if more than 150-days of the Issuance Date.

(b) The Purchasers have the right to convert into Conversion Shares, in whole or in part, at any time after 180-days following the Issuance Date. The conversion price for the Conversion Shares in a voluntary conversion shall be equal to 65% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s common stock during the 20-consecutive trading days preceding the conversion.

Scheduled maturities of debt remaining as of June 30, 2023 for each respective fiscal year end are as follows:

On July 14, 2023, the Company, SGII, and Merger Sub (collectively, the “Parties”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Parties agreed to (i) reduce the value of the shares of SGII common stock to be paid as consideration to ABM’s stockholders from $160 million to $120 million; (ii) extend the Merger Agreement’s termination date from August 19, 2023 to February 19, 2024; and, (iii) amend the Merger Agreement to obligate the Company to fund one-half of the additional payment into trust (i.e., $0.015 per share by the Company) that SGII intends to make in connection with an extension to the date by which SGII must complete a business combination. If the Company fails to make any such contribution that is subsequently funded by SGII (each, a “Contribution Shortfall”), then the Company shall issue to SGII’s sponsor a number of shares with value equal to two times the amount of all Contribution Shortfalls either (a) if the transactions under the Merger Agreement close, of the post-business combination company; or, (b) if the transactions under the Merger Agreement do not close, of the Company.

Overview and Outlook

American Battery Materials, Inc. (the “Company”) is a US based renewable energy company focused on the extraction, refinement and distribution of technical minerals in an environmentally responsible manner. The Company formerly developed, marketed and distributed various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout North America. Due to the nationwide shutdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company spent a portion of 2020 restructuring and retiring certain corporate debt and obligations, and focusing on implementing a new operational direction.

On November 5, 2021, the Company acquired the rights to 102 Federal Mining Claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah for $100,000. The acquisition was driven by historical mineral data from seven (7) existing wells with brine aquifer access. We have not yet commenced any mining operations, and we are an Exploration Stage Company, as defined in Regulation S-K, Subpart 1300 (“Regulation S-K 1300”). An independent third-party technical report indicated that further investment and development in the claims was warranted, although no determination has been made whether we have any reserves of minerals. Similarly, no determined has been made whether mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted. We have no reserves as defined by Regulation S-K 1300.

On October 20, 2022 the Company, following receipt of written approval from stockholders acting without a meeting and holding at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting, filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to (i) change the name of the Company to “AMERICAN BATTERY MATERIALS, INC.” (the “Name Change”); and, (ii) increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 600,000,000 to 4,500,000,000 (the “Authorized Share Increase”). The Name Change was processed by FINRA and was effective on May 1, 2023, at which time the Company’s trading symbol was also changed to BLTH. The Authorized Share Increase was effective as of October 20, 2022.

On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Seaport Global Acquisition II Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SGII”), and Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SGII (“Merger Sub”). SGII is a blank check company, also referred to as a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. SGII is an early stage and emerging growth company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger. As a result of the transactions under the Merger Agreement, ABM will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGII. The stockholders of ABM will become stockholders of SGII under an exchange ratio in the Merger Agreement. The closing of the transactions under the Merger Agreement is expected to be consummated in 2023, after the required approval by the stockholders of SGII and the fulfillment of certain other conditions. The Merger Agreement was amended on July 14, 2023 (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the parties agreed to (i) reduce the value of the shares of SGII common stock to be paid as consideration to ABM’s stockholders from $160 million to $120 million; (ii) extend the Merger Agreement’s termination date from August 19, 2023 to February 19, 2024; and, (iii) amend the Merger Agreement to obligate the Company to fund one-half of the additional payment into trust (i.e., $0.015 per share by the Company) that SGII intends to make in connection with an extension to the date by which SGII must complete a business combination. If the Company fails to make any such contribution that is subsequently funded by SGII (each, a “Contribution Shortfall”), then the Company shall issue to SGII’s sponsor a number of shares with value equal to two times the amount of all Contribution Shortfalls either (a) if the transactions under the Merger Agreement close, of the post-business combination company; or, (b) if the transactions under the Merger Agreement do not close, of the Company.

The Company has been moving forward with its strategy of employing advanced brine extractive technology methodologies and has been in talks with numerous extraction providers. Selective mineral extraction is clearly the most cost-effective and ESG friendly approach currently available. Technologies are being utilized that can extract the desired minerals and metals from the brine and then re-inject the brines back down into the aquafer. The prospective partners have been provided the analytical results from the technical reports, but will soon provide current results, analytical, Geotech modeling, aquifer modeling, recharge, flows, and depth. We will need funding to support continuing operations and support our growth strategy, and we will need to finance operations by offering any combination of equity offerings, debt financing, collaborations, strategic alliances, or other licensing arrangements. There is no assurance we will be able to raise sufficient capital to finance our operations. There is also a risk that the proposed Merger Agreement with SGII, as described below, will not close, or that we will fail to successfully integrate our business with SGII upon a closing of the proposed Merger Agreement.

Revenue

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no revenue.

The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to an increase in professional fees and stock compensation expenses.

In addition, the Company initiated construction strategies based on reports from RESPEC, the Company’s engineering partner, for geological modeling and drill entry design and related planning.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $211,345. The underlying convertible notes were converted during the fourth quarter of 2022, resulting in no derivative liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Gain on Settlement of Liabilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain on settlement of liabilities of $67,984, consisting of $7,008 in principal and $60,976 in interest forgiven by noteholders. No such transactions were noted during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $47,217, as compared to $362,805 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the conversion of convertible notes payable during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $1,519,775 as compared to the net loss of $641,720 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for capital expenditures. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company had net loss of $1,519,775 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, has accumulated losses totaling $19,374,612, and has a working capital deficit of $2,463,537 as of June 30, 2023. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Since we acquired our first mining claims in November 2021, we have faced an increasingly challenging liquidity situation that has limited our ability to execute on our operating plan. The Company will need to raise additional financing in order to fund its operations for the next 12 months, and to allow the Company to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, the Company will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing.

Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Unless we can attract additional investment, our operating as a going concern is in doubt.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company used $1,491,431 of cash in operating activities as a result of the Company’s net loss of $1,519,775, increased by gain on debt settlement of $67,984 and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $277,322, and offset by share-based compensation of $373,650.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used $510,873 of cash in operating activities as a result of the Company’s net loss of $641,720, increased by change in fair market value of derivative liability of $211,345, and offset by share-based compensation of $525, and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $341,667.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company expended $106,000 for staking activities related to new federal mining claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had no investing activities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, financing activities provided $1,764,000, resulting from $1,575,000 in proceeds from convertible notes, and $189,000 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, financing activities provided $515,000, resulting from $590,000 in proceeds from convertible notes, offset by $75,000 in repayments of convertible notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on its financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.

Inflation

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the existence of inflationary trends on the U.S. economy and the recent increase in interest rates. Although the Company’s operations are influenced by general economic conditions, it does not believe that inflation or rising interest rates had a material effect on its results of operations during the last two years. While it is reasonably possible that such uncertainties, and governmental and societal actions to manage them, could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position in the future, the specific impact is currently not readily determinable.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating therefore, requires the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired or as additional information is obtained. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

●

Derivative Financial Instruments

Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration, or magnitude, or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

David Graber, who serves as our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Sebastian Lux, who serves as our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Financial Officer (collectively referred to herein as “Senior Management”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Senior Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on its evaluation, Senior Management concluded as of June 30, 2023 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, Senior Management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, Senior Management is currently seeking to improve our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate the deficiencies described above.
