OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (“OTEC” “Company” “us” “we”) is designing ocean thermal energy conversion power plants, seawater air conditioning and lake water air conditioning (“SWAC/LSC”) plants for large commercial properties, utilities, and municipalities. We believe these technologies provide practical solutions to mankind’s three oldest and most fundamental needs: clean drinking water, plentiful food, and sustainable, affordable energy without the use of fossil fuels. The Company plans to provide a clean technology that continuously extracts energy from the temperature differentials between warm surface ocean water and cold deep seawater. In addition to producing electricity, our technology can efficiently desalinate seawater producing thousands of cubic meters of fresh water every day for use in agriculture and human consumption. This cold, deep, nutrient-rich water can also be used to cool buildings and for fish farming or aquaculture.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and presented in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any future periods.

During the course of preparing the Company’s interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company determined that a noncash accrual relating to default interest on certain notes payable was not properly reflected in the historical financial statements. Management evaluated this immaterial misstatement using the guidance provided by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 (“SAB 99”) and determined that the misstatement was immaterial to the historical financial statements. The Company has recorded the additional accrued interest as of January 1, 2023, through an adjustment of $320,498 to accumulated deficit and accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. This adjustment reflect default interest rates for periods prior to December 31, 2022. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, default interest of $22,435 has been recorded to give effect to this additional default interest.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include the accounts of the Company and the following subsidiary:

Name

Place of Incorporation

/ Establishment

Principal Activities

Date Formed

OCEES International Inc. (“OCEES”)

Hawaii, USA

Research and development for the Pacific Rim

01/21/1998

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have an effective interest of 100% in OCEES. Former subsidiaries Ocean Thermal Energy Bahamas LTD and OTE BM Ltd. were inactive and have been dissolved.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in the valuation of equity-based transactions, valuation of derivative liabilities, and valuation of deferred tax assets.

Business Segments

We operate in one segment and, therefore, segment information is not presented.

Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing our net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing our net loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

Table of Contents

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as they would be anti-dilutive:

	June 30,
	2024		2023
Shares underlying options and warrants outstanding		500,000		69,000
Shares underlying convertible notes outstanding		1,412,360,318		1,041,523,839
Shares underlying convertible preferred stock outstanding		16,687,500		16,687,500
		1,429,547,818		1,058,280,339

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-04 - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20). This ASU clarifies the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. An induced conversion is when a Company induces debt holders to convert their debt into equity shares under changed terms and involved additional consideration. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This ASU requires entities to disaggregate any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into the following required natural expense categories within the footnotes, as applicable: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) DD&A recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other depletion expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2024. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring; (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company currently believes there are no other issued and not yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss of $5,164,993 and used $313,538 of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We had a working capital deficiency of $48,611,734 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $48,611,734 as of June 30, 2024. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to increase sales and obtain external funding for our projects under development. We continue to apply for grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. Our applications focus on desalinated water, ammonia, and hydrogen production from an OTEC facility. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND NOTES PAYABLE

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, $30,747 of notes was converted into 5,641,655 shares of common stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $35,303 of related party notes and $964,697 of related accrued interest were converted into 500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $46,750 of notes and $12,670 of related accrued interest were converted into 31 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

There were no new notes payable issued during the six months ended June 30, 2024. All notes payable and convertible notes payable were in past due and in default as of June 30, 2024. See our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC for additional details concerning our outstanding notes payable and convertible notes payable.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

We measure the fair value of our assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.

We identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued. We have determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability. We have elected to account for these instruments together with fixed conversion price instruments as derivative liabilities as we cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. We value the derivative liabilities using a binomial option pricing-valuation model. The derivative liabilities are valued at each reporting date and the change in fair value is reflected as change in fair value of derivative liability.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to determine the fair value of our financial liabilities, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Fair Value

Quoted market prices

for identical

assets/liabilities

(Level 1)

Significant other

observable inputs

(Level 2)

Significant

unobservable inputs

(Level 3)

Derivative Liability, June 30, 2024

15,408,061

Derivative Liability, December 31, 2023

12,404,707

The reconciliation of the derivative liability for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
Derivative liability as of December 31	$	12,404,707		$	6,998,262
Addition to derivative instruments		-			-
Derivative liability extinguished upon conversion of notes payable		(168,806	)		(2,602	)
Change in fair value of derivative liability*		3,172,160			1,389,220
Derivative liability as of June 30	$	15,408,061		$	8,384,880

The fair value of the derivative liability was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model. The fair values at the commitment and remeasurement dates for our derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
Expected dividends		0	%		0	%
Expected volatility	245%-603		%	187%-257		%
Risk free interest rate	5.03%-5.48		%	4.64%-5.47		%
Expected term (in years)	0.25– 1 years			0.03– 1 years

The fair value at the remeasurement date is equal to the carrying value on the balance sheet.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we issued 5,641,655 shares of common stock upon conversion of $30,747 of convertible notes payable.

Preferred Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we issued 158 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for cash proceeds of $316,000.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

On June 26, 2017, we entered a nonexclusive finder’s arrangement with Craft Capital Management LLC (“Craft”) in the event that proceeds with a debt and/or equity transaction or to finance a merger/acquisition and/or another transaction are arranged by Craft. We have no obligation to consummate any transaction, and we can choose to accept or reject any transaction in our sole and absolute discretion. Upon the successful completion of a placement, we will pay to Craft 8% of the gross proceeds from an equity placement and 3% for a debt placement. In addition, we will issue to Craft, at the time of closing, warrants with an aggregate exercise price equal to 3% of the amount raised.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings and regulatory proceedings arising from its operations. Management established reserves for specific liabilities in connection with legal actions that management deems to be probable and estimable. Certain lawsuits, claims and proceedings are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or operation, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.

NOTE 8 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Through May 31, 2023, we incurred monthly rent of $10,000 to a company controlled by our chief executive officer under an operating lease agreement. The lease was for a one-year term and, unless either party gave written notice of termination to the other, the term would renew for a further period of one year, and so on from year to year until terminated by either party. The lease was terminated at May 31, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, rent expense pursuant to this lease was $20,000 and $50,000, respectively. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a payable to the entity of $0 and $10,000, respectively.

In May 2023, we entered into a month-to-month agreement with a company controlled by our chief executive officer for shared use of an office and facilities at $1,000 per month. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, rent expense was $3,000 and $2,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, rent expense was $6,000 and $2,000, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded charges incurred to a company controlled by our chief executive officer for reimbursement of accounting and administrative services provided to us by an employee of that company. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded expense of $33,522 and $29,230, respectively, to this company. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded expense of $67,865 and $58,120, respectively, to this company. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a payable to the entity of $0 and $16,493, respectively.

Accrued interest on related-party notes was $1,030,882 and $911,830 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repaid $540 of net working capital advances from related parties. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received $4,248 in net working capital advances from related parties.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued 500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to a related party upon conversion of $35,303 of notes and $964,697 of related accrued interest.

During 2022, an aggregate of 847,262 shares of common stock were borrowed from our chief executive officer to enable conversions of $15,000 of notes and $1,946 of related accrued interest. We have accrued a liability for the shares to be reissued to our chief executive officer in the amount of $11,014, the fair value of the shares on the date of conversion. The replacement shares have not been issued at June 30, 2024.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During November and December 2024, we sold an aggregate of $70,000 of convertible note units. Each unit costs $5,000 and consists of one convertible promissory note in the amount of $5,000 and one warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per year, compounded annually, and are due on January 4, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes will be converted into common stock of the Company automatically upon the Maturity Date at the lower of (a) $0.10 per share, or (b) 90% of the Market Price, which shall be the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. However, if the United States Army has issued a contract for the supply of sustainable power and water from the Company-designed and built ocean thermal energy system prior to the Maturity Date, within five business days the Notes will automatically be converted depending on the amount of Notes purchased by each holder.

During January and February 2025, we sold an additional $55,000 of convertible note units, with the same terms as described above.

During 2025, we entered into stock purchase agreements with a number of investors. The investors agreed to purchase 16,375,000 shares of common stock, and we received aggregate proceeds of $242,500. To date, no shares of common stock have been issued pursuant to these agreements.

In January 2025, the Company, as a subcontractor to Johnson Controls Government Systems, received a contract award to provide engineering designs and feasibility analysis for an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) power system at U.S. Army Garrison – Kwajalein Atoll. The scope of work includes technical assessments and design studies for a 17.2 MW OTEC facility coupled with desalinated water production. The contract is valued at approximately $3.6 million and represents a significant milestone in advancing the commercialization of OTEC technology. Upon completion of this phase, the Company anticipates discussions with the U.S. Army regarding a potential long-term Power Purchase Agreement for system deployment.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed elsewhere in this report.

Certain information included herein contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements such as statements relating to our anticipated revenues, gross margins and operating results, estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, future performance and operations, plans for future expansion, capital spending, sources of liquidity, and financing sources. Forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and uncertainties include those relating to our liquidity requirements; the continued growth of our industry; the success of marketing and sales activity; the dependence on existing management; the availability and cost of substantial amounts of project capital; leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates); domestic and global economic conditions; the inherent uncertainty and costs of prolonged arbitration or litigation; and changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws.

Overview

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (“OTEC”) develops and commercializes renewable energy, desalinated water, and sustainable cooling solutions using its proprietary Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) and Seawater Air Conditioning (SWAC) technologies. These systems extract energy from the natural temperature differential between warm surface water and cold deep ocean water to deliver continuous baseload power and clean water without reliance on fossil fuels. Our solutions are particularly well suited for tropical island communities, coastal military installations, and developing nations where access to reliable energy and freshwater is limited.

Our OTEC systems are designed for scalability and rapid deployment, supporting a range of commercial, governmental, and humanitarian applications. In addition to providing 24/7 renewable energy and potable water, our platforms offer opportunities for sustainable agriculture, aquaculture, and mariculture, contributing to local food security and economic development. Recent system designs also integrate with SWAC technology to enable district-level air conditioning using deep ocean water, significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in urban and resort environments.

We are currently executing a $3.5 million U.S. Army engineering and design contract in partnership with Johnson Controls for the U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll and are actively expanding into additional Indo-Pacific markets such as Guam, Diego Garcia, and the Northern Marianas. Our project pipeline also includes commercial engagements in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, including India and Indonesia.

Although we have not generated any revenue since inception, we are transitioning from research and development to contract execution and revenue-generating power purchase agreements. We continue to rely on external funding to support operations, project development, and corporate initiatives, including a planned NYSE uplisting. There can be no assurance that such uplisting or funding will be available or that it can be obtained on acceptable terms.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had salaries and compensation of $234,054, compared to salaries and compensation of $217,149 during the same three-month period for 2023, an increase of 7.78%.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded professional fees of $117,305 and $105,340, respectively, an increase of 11.36%. Beginning with the first quarter of 2024, our professional fees increased as the Company began pursuing completing its securities filings, continued development of existing projects and relationship development.

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $35,024 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $40,113 for the same three-month period for 2023, a decrease of 12.69% due to multiple factors including cost cutting efforts by management.

Our interest expense was $602,833 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $559,100 for the same period for 2023, an increase of 7.82%. This change was due to increased debt and higher interest rates on defaulted notes payable.

There was no debt discount amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $33,174 for the same period of the previous year. The decrease is due to full amortization of discount on debt that became due during the periods.

There was an decrease in the fair value of the derivative liability of $7,309,946 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a $1,662,631 increase for the 2023 period, a 539.66% increase period over period, such increase resulting primarily from the changes in the market value of our common stock during the periods.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had salaries and compensation of $466,864, compared to salaries and compensation of $444,077 during the same six-month period for 2023, an increase of 2.6%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded professional fees of $272,175 and $196,677, respectively, an increase of 38.39%. Beginning with the first quarter of 2024, our professional fees increased as the Company began pursuing completing its securities filings, continued development of existing projects and relationship development.

Table of Contents

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $55,708 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $85,673 for the same six-month period for 2023, a decrease of 34.98% due to multiple factors including cost cutting efforts by management.

Our interest expense was $1,228,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1,096,242 for the same period for 2023, an increase of 12.05%. This change was due to increased debt and higher interest rates on defaulted notes payable.

There was no debt discount amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $65,969 for the same period of the previous year. The decrease is due to full amortization of discount on debt that became due during the periods.

There was an increase in the fair value of the derivative liability of $3,172,160 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a $1,389,220 increase for the 2023 period, a 128.34% increase period over period, such increase resulting primarily from the changes in the market value of our common stock during the periods.

We recognized gain on conversion of notes payable of $30,303 during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $22 in the 2023 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2024, our principal source of liquidity consisted of $115,771 of cash, as compared to $115,149 of cash at December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024, we had negative working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $48,611,734. In addition, our stockholders’ deficit was $48,611,734 at June 30, 2024, compared to stockholders” deficit of $43,931,991 at December 31, 2023. We are focusing our efforts on promoting and marketing our technology by developing and executing contracts. We are exploring external funding alternatives, as our current cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months.

Our operations used net cash of $313,538 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to using net cash of $297,955 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net cash used in operations is primarily due to our net loss partially offset by the increase in the change in the fair value of derivative liability, a gain on debt conversion and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Financing activities provided cash of $314,160 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $351,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we received cash proceeds from the sale of preferred stock which was the primary financing activity during the period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring operating losses since inception and we had a net loss of $5,164,993 and used $313,538 of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We had a working capital deficiency of $48,611,734 and a stockholders’ deficit of $111,246,326 as of June 30, 2024. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to increase sales and obtain external funding for our projects under development. We continue to apply for grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. Our applications focus on desalinated water, ammonia, and hydrogen production from an OTEC facility. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have no significant contractual obligations or commercial commitments not reflected on our balance sheet as of the date of this report.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in our results for the period in which they become known.

Management believes there have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2024, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance because certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted material weaknesses. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, and management does not believe that the material weaknesses had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

A system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the system will meet its objectives. The design of a control system is based, in part, upon the benefits of the control system relative to its costs. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Also, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and regulatory proceedings arising from operations. We establish reserves for specific liabilities in connection with legal actions that management deems to be probable and estimable. Certain of such lawsuits, claims and proceedings are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and addressed in Note 7 to the unaudited interim financial statements included herein. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

These securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving any public offering. The investor is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, and confirmed the foregoing and acknowledged, in writing, that the securities were acquired and will be held for investment. No underwriter participated in the offer and sale of these securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly in connection therewith.
