Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements
of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial
information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
can be condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2023, was derived from audited
financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by 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 notes thereto of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 2023, which were included in the annual report on Form 10-K filed by the Company on April 10, 2024.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the
fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. The results for the nine months ended September 30,
2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other interim or future periods.
Since the date of the Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we
may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, when testing assets
for impairment in future periods, if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur, impairment charges may result.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
us to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
Customer and Revenue Concentrations –
Cultivation Segment
During the three months ended September 30, 2024,
SevenFive had zero dollars in revenue and during the three months ended September 30, 2023, 89% of SevenFive’s revenue was with
five customers, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 100% of SevenFive’s revenue was with three
customers and 50% of SevenFive’s revenue was with one customer, respectively. The customers in 2024 are related party dispensaries
and the revenues associated with these customers are eliminated in consolidation.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023, 92% of Hillside Cultivation’s (formerly noted as Green Tree) revenue was with three customers, and 84% of Hillside Cultivation’s
(formerly noted as Green Tree) revenue was with four customers, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
98% of Hillside Cultivation’s (formerly noted as Green Tree) revenue was with three customers, and 78% of Hillside Cultivation’s
(formerly noted as Green Tree) revenue was with three customers, respectively. The customers in 2024 are related party dispensaries and
the revenues associated with these customers are eliminated in consolidation.
Hillsides Cultivation’s revenue includes
revenue from an external wholesale vendor totaling $5,084 which has been applied to open accounts payable for the retail segment of the
Company for the same vendor. Accounts payable and the associated cost of goods sold expense have been increased for the retail segment
to account for this adjustment.
Deferred Revenue from Loyalty Program
For the Company's retail locations, the Company offers a loyalty reward
program to its dispensary customers that allows customers to earn reward credits to be used on future purchases. Loyalty reward credits
issued as part of a sales transaction results in revenue being deferred until the loyalty reward is redeemed by the customer. The loyalty
rewards are recorded as reductions to revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and included as deferred revenue
on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A portion of the revenue generated in a sale must be allocated to the loyalty points earned.
The amount allocated to the points earned is deferred until the loyalty points are redeemed.
Deferred revenue due to outstanding loyalty points at September 30,
2024 and 2023 was $146,672 and nil, respectively. The deferred revenue is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with Accounts
payable and accrued expenses and will be recognized in the consolidated Income Statement with net revenue upon redemption of the loyalty
points.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company presents basic earnings per share
(EPS) on the face of the statements of operation. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock
method, and convertible debt instrument, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period
is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes
all dilutive potential shares as their effect is anti-dilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share is as follows:

Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments
in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception
and have primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity. The Company incurred a net loss of $3,033,403
and lost $724,309 in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit
of $103,535,443 as of September 30, 2024. We had cash and cash equivalents of $245,367 as of September 30, 2024. The Company expects our
operating losses to continue into the foreseeable future as we continue to execute our acquisition and growth strategy. As a result,
the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital to fund operations, support our planned investing activities,
and repay its debt obligations as they become due. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, the Company would be forced
to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of our acquisition efforts, which could adversely affect its growth plans.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2023, as amended, for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07,
“Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires
disclosure of more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. ASU 203-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments must be applied retrospectively, and early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09,
“Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 applies to all entities subject to income
taxes and requires public business entities such as the Company to provide a tabular rate reconciliation and a separate disclosure for
any reconciling items with certain categories that are equal to or greater than a specified quantitative threshold. The new standard is
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the
standard retrospectively, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adoption on its consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE 3. LEASES
The Company’s leases consist primarily
of real estate leases for retail and cultivation facilities. All but one of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases.
The lease for the retail dispensary acquired in the Green Man transaction is classified as a finance lease. The current and non-current
portions of the operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities are disclosed separately on the accompanying condensed balance
sheets. The finance lease ROU asset is included in property and equipment, net and the operating lease ROU asset is disclosed separately
on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. As the rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, we used
an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 20% in determining the present value of lease payments.
The operating lease expense for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, is as follows:
| |

the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023 was approximately $125,470 and $125,470, respectively.
Related party leases
As of September 30, 2024, one of the Company’s
operating leases, a cultivation facility lease, is a related party lease as the landlord is a principal shareholder and former board
member of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the ROU asset, operating lease liability, current, and operating lease liability, non-current
for the related party leases were $69,368, $80,000 and ($6,029), respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
the total lease expense for related party leases was $30,000 and $127,790, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023, the total lease expense for related party leases was $90,000 and $383,371, respectively.
MLK Lease Termination
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
the Company’s lease at the MLK retail location was terminated by the landlord due to lack of payment of rent. The original lease
had a term through August 31, 2023 and had continued on a month-to-month basis until July 31, 2024, when the landlord seized and auctioned
the remaining assets at the address, applying the auction proceeds against the current outstanding lease balance.
As a result of the termination, the Company removed
the operating lease asset totaling $48,130, the operating lease liability totaling $58,900, the forfeited and applied $4,000 security
deposit and recognized a gain on lease termination of $6,770 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures
related to the seized facility with a net book value of $23,816 were recorded as a loss on disposal of assets during the nine months
ended September 30, 2024.

Trees Transaction Notes
In January 2022, with the completion of the Trees
MLK acquisition, we are obligated to pay the Seller cash equal to $384,873 in equal monthly installments over a period of 24 months.
As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the debt balance of this note was nil and $264,639, respectively. During the year, the Trees MLK Seller
forgave the remaining principal balance $264,639 owed from the Trees MLK acquisition. As the debt holder is also a shareholder of the
Company, the effect of this debt forgiveness was accounted for as a capital contribution in paid-in capital.
Green Man Acquisition Notes
In December 2022, with the completion of the
Green Man Acquisition, we are obligated to pay the Seller cash equal to $1,575,000 in equal monthly installments over a period of 18
months. The payments begin in December 2023 based on the following schedule:

The relative fair value of this obligation resulted
in a debt discount of $275,154. We recorded amortization of debt discount expense from this obligation of $33,723 and $39,545 for the
three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $101,525 and $115,171 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023, respectively.
12% Notes – 2023 Modification
On December 15, 2023, the Company entered into
Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Notes with certain accredited investors to modify the original terms of the 12% Notes.
We recorded amortization of debt discount expense from the 12% Notes of $90,164 and $78,404 for the three months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023, respectively and $285,236 and $232,651 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In addition to the Amended Notes, the Lead Investor
agreed to provide an additional $250,000 in a separate note (the “2023 Working Capital Note”) which includes a liquidation
preference to recover 1.25x the original investment in the event that the Company commences any dissolution, liquidation, or winding
up. At our option, the Lead Investor shall provide up to an additional $250,000, and, in such event, the 2023 Working Capital Note shall
have a liquidation preference of 1.5x the original investment, applicable to the full $500,000, in the event that the Company commences
any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. The 2023 Working Capital Note bears interest at 12% per annum and is due and payable on
September 15, 2026. As of December 31, 2023, the balance of the Working Capital Note was $500,000, as the Company requested and received
the additional $250,000 optional amount.
On June 15th, 2024 the Lead Investor
agreed to provide an additional $250,000 in a separate note (the “2024 Working Capital Note”) which includes a liquidation
preference to recover 1.25x the original investment in the event that the Company commences any dissolution, liquidation, or winding
up. At our option, the Lead Investor shall provide up to an additional $250,000, and, in such event, the 2024 Working Capital Note shall
have a liquidation preference of 1.5x the original investment, applicable to the full $500,000, in the event that the Company commences
any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. The 2024 Working Capital Note bears interest at 12% per annum and is due and payable on
September 15, 2026. As of September 30, 2024, the balance of the Working Capital Note was $500,000, as the Company requested and received
the additional $250,000 optional amount.
Centri Promissory Note
On August 20th, 2024 Centri Business
Consulting, LLC (“Centri”) agreed to exchange amounts due for professional accounting fees incurred during the prior fiscal
year totaling $77,953 at December 31, 2023 into a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $43,077 to be paid in eighteen
installments of $2,393 beginning October 1st, 2024. As a result of the exchange, the Company recognized a gain of $34,876
during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Income Tax Payable
To date, the IRS has
held that cannabis companies are subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. This position was not held in Oregon or Colorado, where the Company operates. Under the IRS’s interpretation of IRC
Section 280E, cannabis companies are only allowed to deduct expenses directly and indirectly related to the production of inventory.
This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E.
As of December 31, 2023
the Company recorded a tax liability totaling $392,765 based on IRC Section 280E. Between the provision and filing the Company taxes
on October 15, 2024 the Company has decided, through thorough tax and legal review, to record this and subsequent liabilities as an uncertain
tax liability on the consolidated balance sheets due to tax positions taken on our 2023 federal and state tax returns.
For the period ended
September 30, 2024 the Company has evaluated this tax position in relation to the previously recorded income tax liability of $1,327,070
as of September 30, 2024 and has concluded that the position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. In evaluating the
tax position for recognition, the Company considered all relevant sources of tax law, including a court case in which the taxing authority
has fully disallowed a similar tax position with an unrelated entity (Canna Provisions et. Al. v Garland). The taxing authority
and Canna Provisions et. al. are currently litigating the matter.
Due to this change, the Company has completed the provision for the
nine months ended September 30, 2024 considering ASC 740-10. This includes an adjustment to the income tax payable account to return it
back to the December 31, 2023 balance and recording an uncertain tax benefit (UTB) liability to reflect the expected tax liability should
the Internal Revenue Service reject the uncertain tax position taken by the company regarding 280E, net of the valuation allowance.
As of September 30, 2024, the Income tax liability is $392,765 and
the UTB liability, net of the valuation allowance, is $990,731.
Legal
From time to time, we
may be involved in various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently subject to any material
legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of our business.

and an employee (“2024 RSUs”). The 2024 RSUs vest seven years from the grant date, or earlier upon certain triggering events
as defined in the agreement, and upon vesting convert into one share of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the 2024
RSUs is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
The Company recorded $14,968 and $54,195 in compensation
expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, none of the RSU’s have

Contingent Earnout Liability
On December 12, 2022, we completed the Green Tree Acquisition which
consisted of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ancient Alternatives LLC, Natural Alternatives For Life, LLC, Mountainside
Industries, LLC, Hillside Enterprises, LLC, and GT Creations, LLC, each a Colorado limited liability company (collectively, the “Green
Tree Entities”). We paid cash in the amount of $500,000 and stock consideration of 17,977,528 shares of our Common Stock. The closing
price of our Common Stock on December 12, 2022, the date of license transfer, was $0.165 per share, as such, fair value of the equity
consideration is $2,966,292. Additionally, we had a potential obligation to issue additional stock consideration up to 4,879,615 shares
of our Common Stock on the achievement of certain performance indicators on or before June 12, 2024. In November 2023, the Company transferred
a majority of the Green Tree Entities back to the original owners. Subsequent to this transfer, the aforementioned debt was modified.
This liability is included in Notes payable- current and Notes payable- non-current in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
The fair value of the contingent earnout liability
was nil and $367,056 at September 30, 2024 and December, 31 2023, respectively. The change in fair value in the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2024 resulted in a gain on change in fair value of nil and $367,056, respectively. The contingent earnout
liability remained after the Green Tree Acquisition was partially reversed in Q3 2023 and expired in Q2 2024.
NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On September 16, 2022, the Company entered into
a new consulting agreement with Adam Hershey, its Interim Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Hershey will continue to serve
as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer with compensation equal to $200,000 per annum, payable by the Company, monthly.
The term of the consulting agreement is for a period of one year, with automatic six-month renewals thereafter unless terminated by either
party. As part of the new consulting agreement, the Company has also agreed to extend warrants to purchase 7,280,007 shares of Common
Stock, held by an affiliate of Mr. Hershey, for an additional two years until May 29, 2027. The exercise price and all other terms and
conditions of such warrants remain unchanged. We paid $50,000 and $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
and $150,000 and $150,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In February 2023, the Company completed the acquisition
of Station 2, LLC’s assets. Station 2, LLC is owned by a board member, who is also a shareholder of the Company. This acquisition
was subsequently reversed in Q3 of 2023.
The Company currently has a lease agreement with
Dalton Adventures, LLC in which the Company leases 17,000 square feet of greenhouse space in Boulder, Colorado for $29,691 a month, of
which $27,000 is base rent and $2,691 is property taxes. The base rent decreased to $10,000 per month starting in May 2023. The owner
of Dalton Adventures, LLC is a principal shareholder and former board member of the Company. We have incurred $30,000 and $75,849
in related party lease expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $90,000 and $227,547 in related
party lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 3 for further discussion of the Company’s
obligations associated with related party leases.
NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(“MD&A”) is intended to provide an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by
focusing on changes in certain key measures from year to year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Consolidated Financial Statements

revenue was with one customer, respectively. The customers in 2024 are related party dispensaries and the revenues associated with these
customers are eliminated in consolidation.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023, 92% of Hillside Cultivation’s (formerly noted as Green Tree) revenue was with three customers, and 84% of Hillside Cultivation’s

Company for the same vendor. Accounts payable and the associated cost of goods sold expense have been increased for the retail segment
to account for this adjustment.

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2023 due to the decreased expenses resulting from
the reversal of the acquisition of one dispensary and one cultivation facility in the third quarter of 2023 and one additional dispensary
license in the first quarter of 2023, resulting in a decrease in employees and rent expense.

Employee awards are issued under our 2020 Omnibus
Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders on November 23, 2020. Expense varies primarily due to the number of stock options
and restricted stock awards granted and the share price on the date of grant. The decrease in expense for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2023, is due to issuing less restricted stock awards at a higher per unit grant date
value in the second quarter of 2024.
Professional fees consist primarily of accounting
and legal expenses. Professional fees increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to increased accounting and legal
fees related to our 2023 tax return and the related tax position therein (See Note 6 Income Tax Payable for details). Professional fees
decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to September 30, 2023 due to the lack of unusual accounting activity
in the first and second quarters of 2024 as compared to the 2023 periods.
Depreciation and amortization decreased due to
the reversal of the acquisition of a portion of the Green Tree assets and a revaluation of the Green Tree and Green Man acquisitions
as of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2023.

Amortization of debt discount decreased during
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2023 due to the change in outstanding debt related to
the Green Tree acquisition reversal. Interest expense increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared
to September 30, 2023, due to the resumption of interest in Q3 2023 of the 12% Notes. The gain on warrant derivative liability reflects
the change in the fair value of the 2019 Warrants which expired in Q2 2024. The loss on contingent earnout reflects the change in the
fair value of the Green Tree Contingent Earnout liability which expired in Q2 2024.

The decrease in revenues for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024 compared to September 30, 2023, is due to the closure of three cultivations during Q2 2023 and a reduction
in grow operations at one of the remaining cultivations facilities in Q1 2023. The decrease in cost and expenses for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024 compared to September 30, 2023 is attributed to the closure of three cultivations during Q2 2023 and
a reduction in grow operations at one of the remaining cultivations facilities in Q1 2023. The costs and expense incurred between
our dispensaries and cultivation locations are eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
Sources of liquidity
Our sources of liquidity historically have included
the cash exercise of common stock options and warrants, debt, and the issuance of common stock or other equity-based instruments. We
anticipate our significant uses of resources will include funding operations.
Sources and uses of cash
We had cash of $245,367 and $969,676 as of September
30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:
| |
Nine months ended September 30, | |
| |
2024 | | |
2023 | |
Net cash used in operating activities | |
$ | (481,939 | ) | |
$ | (1,147,432 | ) |
Net cash used in investing activities | |
$ | (45,631 | ) | |
$ | (265,858 | ) |
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | |
$ | (196,739 | ) | |
$ | (918,852 | ) |
Net cash used in operating activities increased
in 2024 due to the expiration and subsequent gain of the Green Tree contingent earnout and gain on extinguishment of debt due to the
Centri promissory note.
Net cash used in investing activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2024 from September 30, 2023 decreased as a result of a lack of acquisition activity in 2024.
Net cash used in financing activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased from September 30, 2023 due to the partial reversal of the acquisition of a portion of
the Green Tree assets and the issuance of the 2024 Working Capital Note.
Capital Resources
We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of September
30, 2024. Part of our growth strategy, however, is to acquire operating businesses. We expect to fund such activity through cash
on hand, the issuance of debt, common stock, warrants for our common stock or a combination thereof.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of revenues
and expenses. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or
complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may
change in subsequent periods. In applying these critical accounting policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate
assumptions to be used in making certain estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We define critical accounting policies as those
that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and which may potentially result in materially different results under
different assumptions and conditions. In applying these critical accounting policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the
appropriate assumptions to be used in making certain estimates. These estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.
Business Combinations
Amounts paid for acquisitions are allocated to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of identifiable
intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management, including expected future
cash flows. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired to goodwill. Identifiable
intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting,
valuation, and other costs, are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses
are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
Goodwill and Intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price
over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and long-lived intangible assets are tested
for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC
No. 350”). ASC No. 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level
below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely
than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carry value. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment,
including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting
units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. We test goodwill annually in December, unless an event occurs that
would cause us to believe the value is impaired at an interim date. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2023, for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We periodically evaluate whether the carrying
value of property and equipment has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.
The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual
disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s
carrying value over its fair value.
Our impairment analyses require management to
apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets, assessing
the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows. If the carrying
value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one
method, including, but not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales and undiscounted cash flow models. If actual results are not
consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to an
impairment charge in the future.
Debt with Equity-linked Features
We may issue debt that has separate warrants, conversion features,
or other equity-linked attributes.
Debt with warrants – When we issue
debt with warrants, we treat the warrants as a debt discount, record as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortize the balance
over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The offset
to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in our consolidated balance sheets. If the debt is retired early, the
associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
The debt is treated as conventional debt.
We determine the value of the non-complex warrants
using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) using the stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free
interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the volatility of our stock. For warrants with complex terms, we use the binomial
lattice model to estimate their fair value.
Convertible Debt - When we issue debt
with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative.
If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we estimate the fair value of
the convertible debt derivative using Black-Scholes upon the date of issuance, using the stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free
interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the estimated volatility of our stock.
Modification of Debt - When we change
the terms of existing notes payable, we evaluate the amendments under ASC 470-50, Debt Modification and Extinguishment to determine
whether the change should be treated as a modification or as a debt extinguishment. This evaluation includes analyzing whether there
are significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the note. If the change is deemed insignificant then the change
is considered a debt modification, whereas if the change is substantial the change is reflected as a debt extinguishment.
Equity-based Payments
We estimate the fair value of equity-based instruments
issued to employees or to third parties for services or goods using Black-Scholes or the Binomial Model, which requires us to estimate
the volatility of our stock and forfeiture rate.
Revenue Recognition
ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts
with Customers” (“ASC 606”) requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, judgment and estimates may be required
within the revenue recognition process including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable
consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The following five steps are applied to achieve
that core principle:
|
● |
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer; |
|
● |
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
● |
Step 3: Determine the transaction price; |
|
● |
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract; and |
|
● |
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance
obligation. |
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company”
as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
and Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision
and with the participation of management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the
Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and
effected by the Board, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures
that:
|
● |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
|
● |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures of are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
|
● |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of inherent limitations, our 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. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls
over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2024, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required
by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, which have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
