GLOBAL DIGITAL SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED March 31, 2023

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated in New Jersey as Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. (“Creative”) in August 1995. In March 2004, Creative acquired Global Digital Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Global”). The merger was treated as a recapitalization of Global, and Creative changed its name to Global Digital Solutions, Inc. (“the Company”, “we”), Global provided structured cabling design, installation and maintenance for leading information technology companies, federal, state, and local government, major businesses, educational institutions, and telecommunication companies.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception, and for the three months had net income of approximately $590,000 which was mostly the result of change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,136,000 and Warrant Liability of $851,000. The income was offset by loss on conversion of notes payable of $75,300 and amortization of original issue discount of approximately $216,000 and interest expense of $266,000 the Company used net cash of $179,923 to fund operating activities at March 31, 2023, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $54,520,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $13,212,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company funded its activities to date almost exclusively from equity and debt financings.

The Company needs to raise additional funds immediately and continue to raise funds until they begin to generate sufficient cash from operations and may not be able to obtain the necessary financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue development of its core business. Management’s plans in order to meet the operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of common stock, and issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments, and the establishment of strategic relationships which management expects will lead to the generation of additional revenue or acquisition opportunities.

While Management believes that the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund operations, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved or that they will succeed in future operations.

Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully execute the plans to pursue acquisitions and raise the funds necessary to complete such acquisitions. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on April 20, 2022.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for complete financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, NACSV, GDSI Florida, LLC, Global Digital Solutions, LLC, and Harm Alarm. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. Significant estimates include the derivative liability valuation, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, or other valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for based upon an asset and liability approach. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Accounting guidance requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in high-quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of March 31, 2023, the bank balance is not over the federally insured limit. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

●

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

●

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly

●

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We account for conversion options embedded in convertible notes payable in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC’) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Subtopic ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in the convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. Derivative liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value as Derivative Liabilities and based on the criteria specified in FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s own Equity. The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities is calculated using various assumptions and such estimates are revalued at each balance sheet date, with changes recorded to other income or expense as Change in fair value of derivative liability in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity, is evaluated at the instrument origination date and reviewed at the end of each event date (i.e. conversions, payments, etc.) and the measurement period end date for financial reporting, as applicable.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible notes.

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive:



	Three Months Ended

Convertible notes and accrued interest		453,945,414		406,572,394

Stock Based Compensation

In accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for share-based compensation measured at the grant date fair value of the award.

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to advisors, consultants, and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the advisor, consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the advisor, consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to advisors and consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the advisor or consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with accounting standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

Accounting standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. accounting standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Original issue discounts (“OID”) under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

Convertible Securities

Based upon ASC 815-15, we have adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to convertible securities. We will evaluate our contracts based upon the earliest issuance date. In the event partial reclassification of contracts subject to ASC 815-40-25 is necessary, due to our inability to demonstrate we have sufficient shares authorized and unissued, shares will be allocated on the basis of issuance date, with the earliest issuance date receiving first allocation of shares. If a reclassification of an instrument were required, it would result in the instrument issued latest being reclassified first.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management is evaluating the new accounting pronouncements but does not expect them to have material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2023, through the date which the financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 12 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Embedded Derivative Liabilities of Convertible Notes

At March 31, 2023, the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative liabilities of convertible notes was estimated using the following weighted-average inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.05; a risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.5% to 5.0%, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock ranging from 173.74% to 185.90%; the estimated remaining term, a dividend rate of 0%. and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative liabilities of convertible notes was estimated using the following weighted-average inputs: risk free dividend rate – 0%.

NOTE 5 – NOTE PAYABLE

During August 2017, Dragon Acquisitions, a related entity owned by William Delgado, and an individual lender entered into a promissory note agreement for $20,000 as well as $2,000 in interest to accrue through maturity on August 31, 2018, for a total of $22,000 due on August 31, 2018. The lender has extended the maturity date to December 31, 2022. Dragon Acquisitions assumed payment of a payable of the Company and the Company took on the note. The Company defaulted on the note at maturity in August 2018. The $20,000 note remained outstanding at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and through the date of this report.

On December 22, 2017, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Parabellum, an accredited investor, for $1.2 million, which was then amended in 2020 and increased to $2,550,000. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is to receive milestone payments based on the progress of the Company’s lawsuit (see Note 6) for damages against Grupo Rontan Metalurgica, S.A (the “Lawsuit”). Such milestone payments consist of (i) an initial purchase price payment of $300,000, which the Company received on December 22, 2017, (ii) $150,000 within 30 days of the Lawsuit surviving a motion to dismiss on the primary claims, (iii) $100,000 within 30 days of the close of all discovery in the Lawsuit and (iv) $650,000 within 30 days of the Lawsuit surviving a motion for summary judgment and challenges on the primary claims. As part of the agreement, the Company shall pay the investor an investment return of 100% of the litigation proceeds to recoup all money invested, plus 27.5% of the total litigation proceeds received by the Company. As March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and through the date of this report, the $2,550,000 note remains outstanding.

On December 23, 2017 (the “Effective Date”) the Company entered into a $485,000, 7% interest rate, demand promissory note with Vox Business Trust, LLC (“Vox”). The note was in settlement of the amounts accrued under a consulting agreement (see Note 6), consisting of $200,000 owed for retainer payments through December 2017, as well as $285,000 owed to Vox when the Resolution Progress Funding was met on December 22, 2017. As part of the agreement, Vox may not demand payment prior to the date of the Resolution Funding Date.

The Company shall make mandatory prepayment in the following amounts and at the following times –

●

$1,000 on the Effective Date.

●

$50,000 on the date on which discovery closes with respect to the lawsuit.

●

$100,000 on the date on which the judge presiding over the lawsuit issues a ruling or decision in which the lawsuit survives a motion for summary judgement on the claims.

Under the terms of the Vox note consulting agreement (see Note 6), any unpaid consulting fees subsequent to December 2017 causes a default on the note with unpaid consulting fees to be added to the principal of the note. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. and through the date of this report, the principal balance totaling $861,500 and interest of $290,813 is outstanding. The note remains in default.

Under the terms of the RLT note consulting agreement (see Note 6), any unpaid consulting fees subsequent to December 2017 causes a default on the note with unpaid consulting fees to be added to the principal of the note. as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and through the date of this report the principal balance totaling $861,500 and interest of $290,513 is outstanding.

Through the date of this report, monthly consulting fees have not been repaid and were added to the principal balance of the note. The note remains in default. However, RLT has voluntarily refrained from making demand prior to the resolution funding date. RLT was granted a first priority security interest in the litigation proceeds and is pari passu to Parabellum and Vox. To that end, they share in the litigation in a priority position to proceed to repay the note.

During April 2018, the Company entered into a two-month $36,000 note payable with $31,000 in proceeds paid directly to a third-party vendor for expenses. The note did not bear interest and included a $5,000 original issue discount. During June 2018, the Company defaulted on the note. The lender has extended the maturity date to December 31, 2021.

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Purchaser the $200,000 proceeds plus a 10% return, or $20,000 (the “Investment Return”) within three (3) months from the date of the Investment Agreement. Such Investment Return shall be paid earlier if the Company secures funding totaling $500,000 within 90 days from the date of the Investment Agreement. The lender has extended the maturity date to December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the Purchaser 2,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, exercisable for a period of three (3) years. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and through the date of this report, the $200,000 principal and $20,000 Investment Return remained outstanding. The note is past the maturity date and has not been repaid through the date the financial statements were issued.

On May 12, 2020, the Company obtained a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan in the amount of $103,125 pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Interest on the loan is at the rate of 1% per year, and all loan payments are deferred until December 12, 2020, at which time the balance is payable in $5,805 monthly installments through May 12, 2022, if not forgiven in accordance with the CARES Act and the terms of the promissory note executed by the Company in connection with the loan. The promissory note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. As required, the Company used the PPP loan proceeds for payroll, healthcare benefits, and utilities.

Convertible Notes Payable

During January 2015, the Company entered into a one-year $78,750 convertible note payable with LG Capital Funding (LG). The note bears interest at 8% per annum and is convertible at any time at the option of LG into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to a 40% discount of the lowest closing bid price for 20 prior trading days including the notice of conversion date. The embedded derivative liability associated with the conversion option of the note was bifurcated from the note and recorded at its fair value on the date of issuance and at each reporting date. The note requires the Company to reserve four times the potential number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, or 17,676,000 and 29,914,000 at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 respectively. The Company defaulted on the note in January 2016. Additionally, as a result of declines in the fair value of the Company’s common stock, from time to time the Company did not have sufficient authorized shares to maintain this required four times share reserve. Accordingly, the note holder had the right to accelerate the repayment of the note and unpaid interest. In addition, LG has the right to require that additional shares and/or monies be paid in connection with the defaults. During December 2017, in settlement of default, the Company and LG entered into a Convertible Note Redemption Agreement under which the Company was to repay $68,110, $39,921 in unpaid principal outstanding at December 31, 2017, and $28,189 in accrued interest, in five payments through April 2018. Through April 2018, the Company repaid $6,500 of principal under the Convertible Note Redemption Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 19, 2021, any of which may cause our company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. These risks and factors include, by way of example and without limitation:

●

our ability to successfully commercialize and our products and services on a large enough scale to generate profitable operation;

●

our ability to maintain and develop relationships with customers and suppliers;

●

our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses or new brands;

●

the impact of competitive products and pricing;

●

supply constraints or difficulties;

●

the retention and availability of key personnel;

●

general economic and business conditions;

●

substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;

●

our need to raise additional funds in the future;

●

our ability to successfully recruit and retain qualified personnel in order to continue our operations;

●

intellectual property claims brought by third parties; and

●

business interruptions resulting from geo-political actions, including war, and terrorism or disease outbreaks (such as COVID-19).

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or changes in the future operating results over time, except as required by law. We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from our assumptions.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, unless otherwise indicated, the terms “GDSI,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Global Digital Solutions, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries GDSI Florida, LLC, HarmAlarm and North American Custom Specialty Vehicles, Inc. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

Corporate History

We were incorporated in New Jersey as Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. (“Creative”) in August 1995. In March 2004, Creative acquired Global Digital Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The merger was treated as a recapitalization of Global Digital Solutions, Inc., and Creative changed its name to Global Digital Solutions, Inc. (“GDSI”). We are focused in the area of cyber arms technology and complementary security and technology solutions. On October 22, 2012, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization to acquire 70% of Airtronic USA, Inc. (“Airtronic”), a then debtor in possession under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code once Airtronic successfully reorganized and emerged from bankruptcy (the “Merger”). During the period from October 2012 through November 2013, we were actively involved in the day to day management of Airtronic pending the completion of the Merger. The Merger did not occur and we ceased involvement with Airtronic. In December 2012 we incorporated GDSI Florida LLC (“GDSI FL”), a Florida limited liability company. Except for the payment of administrative expenses on behalf of the Company, GDSI FL has no business operations. In January 2013, we incorporated Global Digital Solutions, LLC, a Florida limited liability company. In November 2013, we incorporated GDSI Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation. On June 16, 2014, we acquired North American Custom Specialty Vehicles, LLC, into GDSI Acquisition Corporation, and changed the latter’s name to North American Custom Specialty Vehicles, Inc. (“NACSV”). In July 2014, we announced the formation of GDSI International (f/k/a Global Digital Solutions, LLC) to spearhead our efforts overseas. In March of 2019, we acquired HarmAlarm (“HA”). HA was formed in 2002 as a private Texas company to pursue Infrared commercial applications in the aviation services area. HA has developed a system known as Pilot Assisted Landing Systems (PALS). We believe the precision and robustness of PALS has generated a host of new applications mainly through “landing trajectory” optimization which provides additional safety margin against weather related hazardous conditions, like wind shear, wake turbulence, icing, as well as low ceilings and fog.

Business Overview

We are engaged in the development of proprietary aviation technology. We are also looking to develop an automotive technology company currently in Brazil. We have been in litigation concerning Rontan Metallurgica in Sao Paulo, Brazil and have been awarded a default judgment regarding the acquisition of the company. We are currently awaiting final damages in the case.

On August 18, 2022, the Company and GS Capital Partners LLC entered into a securities purchase agreement for a 10% convertible note in the aggregate principal of $172,000. A lump- sum interest payment for twelve (12) months shall be immediately due on the Issue date and shall be added to the principal balance and payable on the maturity date August 18, 2023. Principal payments shall be made in nine (9) installments each in the amount of $21,022.22 commencing on the one hundred twentieth(120^th) day following the Issue date The holder has the right at any time to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal into shares of common stock of the Company. The conversion price shall be equal to 70% of the lowest intraday price during the 20 days preceding the conversion request. As of March 31, 2023, and through the date of this report, the principal balance totaling $172,000, is outstanding.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception, and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, it had a net income of approximately $590,000 which was mostly the result of the Change in Fair Value of Derivative liability of $1,136,000, the change in fair value of warrant liability offset by loss on conversion of notes payable of approximately $753,000. The Company used net cash of approximately $180,000 to fund operating activities at March 31, 2023 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 54,200,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $13,212,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has funded their activities to date almost exclusively from equity and debt financings.

Future Financing

We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our business. In addition, while we have received capital from various private placements that have enabled us to fund our operations, these funds have been largely used to develop our processes, although additional funds are needed for other corporate operational and working capital purposes. However, not including funds needed for capital expenditures or to pay down existing debt and trade payables, we anticipate that we will need to raise an additional $2,00,000 to cover all of our operational expenses over the next 12 months, not including any capital expenditures needed as part of any commercial scale-up of our equipment. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional necessary financing on a timely basis, or if we are unable to generate significant revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due, and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on June 9, 2023.

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Our significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of our common stock, stock-based compensation, warrants issued in connection with notes payable, derivative liabilities and the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets. Certain of our estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to us and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Accounting guidance requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2020. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to advisors, consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the advisor, consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the advisor, consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to advisors and consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the advisor or consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Any new and recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is 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 under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Table of Contents

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial officer, we are required to perform an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2023. Management has not completed such evaluation and, as such, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As a result of the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, were not effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of its principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, 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.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023 based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, was not effective.

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley, is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:

●

Inadequate segregation of duties due to limited personnel consistent with control objectives;

●

Absence of functioning audit committee;

●

Adherence to formal policies and procedures post-bankruptcy; and

●

Lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks on a timely manner.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than described above there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2023, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
