Note 1 — Description of Business

 

Smart for Life, Inc., formerly Bonne Santé Group, Inc. (“SMFL”), is a Nevada corporation which was originally formed in the State of Delaware on February 7, 2017 and converted to a Nevada corporation on April 10, 2023. Structured as a global holding company, it is engaged in the development, marketing, manufacturing, acquisition, operation and sale of a broad spectrum of nutraceutical and related products with an emphasis on health and wellness.

 

On March 8, 2018, SMFL acquired 51% of Millenium Natural Manufacturing Corp. and Millenium Natural Health Products, Inc. On October 8, 2019, SMFL entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 49% of these companies, subject to certain conditions which were subsequently met. On September 30, 2020, the name of Millenium Natural Manufacturing Corp. was changed to Bonne Sante Natural Manufacturing, Inc. (“BSNM”), and on November 24, 2020, Millenium Natural Health Products Inc. was merged into BSNM. Based in Doral, Florida, BSNM operates a 22,000 square-foot FDA-certified manufacturing facility. It manufactures nutritional products for a significant number of customers. On March 6, 2024, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback agreement relating to BSNM as more fully described under Note 2.

 

On July 1, 2021, SMFL acquired Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC d/b/a Smart for Life, Oyster Management Services, Ltd., Lawee Enterprises, L.L.C. and U.S. Medical Care Holdings, L.L.C. On August 27, 2021, SMFL transferred all of the equity interests of Oyster Management Services, Ltd., Lawee Enterprises, L.L.C. and U.S. Medical Care Holdings, L.L.C. to Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC. On May 19, 2022, SMFL acquired Lavi Enterprises, LLC. On the same date, SMFL transferred all of the equity interests of Lavi Enterprises, LLC to Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC. On December 13, 2022, Oyster Management Services, Ltd. was converted to a limited liability company known as Oyster Management Services, L.L.C. As a result of the foregoing, Oyster Management Services, L.L.C., Lawee Enterprises, L.L.C., U.S. Medical Care Holdings, L.L.C. and Lavi Enterprises, LLC are now wholly owned subsidiaries of Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC (collectively, “DSO”). Based in Riviera Beach, Florida, DSO operates a 30,000 square-foot FDA-certified manufacturing facility. DSO manufactures and sells weight management foods and related products. Additionally, DSO provides manufacturing services for other customers.

 

On August 24, 2021, Smart for Life Canada Inc. (“DSO Canada”) was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC in Canada. SMFL Canada sells retail products through a retail store location in Montreal Canada and the same location also acts as distribution center for international direct to consumer and big box customers. On January 8, 2024, the retail store location was closed.

 

On November 8, 2021, SMFL acquired 100% of Nexus Offers, Inc. (“Nexus”). Nexus is a network platform in the affiliate marketing space. Affiliate marketing is an advertising model in which a product vendor compensates third-party digital marketers to generate traffic or leads for the product vendor’s products and services. The third-party digital marketers are referred to as affiliates, and the commission fee incentivizes them to find ways to promote the products being sold by the product vendor. Based in Miami, Florida, Nexus operates virtually.

 

On December 6, 2021, SMFL acquired 100% of GSP Nutrition Inc. (“GSP”). GSP is a sports nutrition company that offers nutritional supplements for athletes and active lifestyle consumers. Based in Miami, Florida, GSP operates virtually. 

 

On July 29, 2022, SMFL acquired Ceautamed Worldwide, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Wellness Watchers Global, LLC and Greens First Female LLC (collectively, “Ceautamed”). Ceautamed is based in Boca Raton, Florida and owns the Greens First line of branded products which have been specifically marketed to the healthcare provider sector. On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell nearly all of the assets of Ceautamed for a 49% ownership interest in a new limited liability company, First Health FL LLC, or First Health. The agreement included an option for the 51% owner to purchase the remaining 49% for $1.00 at an unspecified future date.  On October 1, 2024, such owner elected to exercise the option, effective as of October 2, 2024, paid to the Company the option price of $1.00, and the Company delivered the remaining 49% interest in First Health to such owner.

 

On August 15, 2022, SMFL entered into a joint venture with a seller of Ceautamed to form Smart Acquisition Group, LLC. This subsidiary was 50% owned by the Company and 50% owned by Stuart Benson, the former owner and principal of Ceautamed. This company was formed to expand M&A growth initiatives through the identification, negotiation, financing and acquisition of companies by SMFL. On September 22, 2023, we dissolved this subsidiary.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of SMFL, its wholly owned subsidiaries DSO, DSO Canada, Nexus, GSP and BSNM (collectively, the “Company”) and are prepared in the United States Dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Ceautamed has been deemed to be a discontinued operation. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Reclassifications - Discontinued Operations to Continued Operations

 

The 2023 financials have been reclassified from reporting BSNM as discontinued operations to continued operations due to a change in the plan of the sale / leaseback of BSNM. In December 2023, with the board’s approval, the Company planned to sell BSNM. The Company had a buyer, who signed an offer letter, but was unable to work out the economics of the deal and therefore had not closed the transaction. Following this, in October 2024, management and the board revised its decision to sell BSNM and continue operating the business line. Also in October 2024, the Company started moving most of the equipment and much of the usable inventory to its Riviera Beach facility. The Company also surrendered the BSNM facility in November 2024 back to the landlord. As a result, the classification of BSNM has been revised in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The results of BSNM have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented to ensure comparability of the financial statements. The impact of the reclassification on previously reported amounts is summarized below:

 

1. Reclassification of $505,643 of operating income, $834,487 in cost of goods sold, $1,167,481 in expenses and $58,808 in other expense from discontinued operations to continuing operations.

 

2. Adjustment to depreciation and amortization expenses, as BSNM is no longer classified as held for sale.

 

3. Reclassification of $1,401,300 in assets and $3,062,749 in liability balances to reflect continuing operations.

 

The comparative financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 have been adjusted accordingly.

 

Ceautamed has been deemed to be a discontinued operation (see Note 3).

 

These reclassifications did not impact previously reported net income, earnings per share, or the Company’s consolidated financial position.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company uses the accrual method of accounting. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2023 balance sheet has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained recurring losses and has a deficiency in working capital of approximately $11.0 million at March 31, 2024, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, among other items, assessing the collectability of receivables, the realization of deferred taxes, useful lives and recoverability of tangible and intangible assets, assumptions used in the valuation of options, the computation of revenue based on the proportional delivery of services, and accruals for commitments and contingencies. Some of these estimates can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company’s accounts receivable consists primarily of receivables from customers. The balance is presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The Company monitors the financial condition of its customers and records the allowance for expected credit losses on receivables when it believes customers are unable to make their required payments based on factors such as delinquencies and aging trends. The allowance for expected credit loss is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to existing accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses of $22,686 and $22,868 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of raw materials, packaging materials, and finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) (replacement cost or net realizable value). An allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided for slow moving or obsolete inventory to write down historical cost to net realizable value. The Company primarily performs its manufacturing for functional foods and nutraceuticals in the form of bars, cookies, powders, tablets and capsules.

 

The allowance for obsolescence is an estimate established through charges to cost of goods sold. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based upon several factors which include, but are not limited to, analysis of slow-moving inventory, analysis of the selling price of inventory, the predetermined shelf life of the product, and management’s judgment with respect to current economic conditions. Given the nature of the inventory, it is reasonably possible the Company’s estimate of the allowance for obsolescence will change in the near term.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are charged to the asset accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization over the estimated useful lives of various assets using the straight-line method ranging from 3-7 years.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. The Company evaluates its reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on December 31 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 carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

 

No goodwill impairments were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of customer contracts, developed technology, non-compete agreements, license agreements, and intellectual property acquired in the acquisitions of BSNM, DSO, Nexus, GSP, and Ceautamed. The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which ranges from 3 to 15 years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset (or group of assets) is less than its carrying amount. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating results.

Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities

 

The Company records a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified either as finance or operating with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions (see Note 13).

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 835-30, “Other Presentation Matters, the Company has reported debt issuance cost as a deduction from the carrying amount of debt and amortizes these costs using the effective interest method over the term of the debt as interest expense.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). ASC Topic 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. There are three levels to the hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs, as follows:

 

  Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are measured using Level 1 inputs and include cash on hand, deposits in banks, certificates of deposit and money market funds. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis including those described in Note 6, and are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values are more than the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered a Level 3 measurement due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value.

 

Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined using the best available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary, however, in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange, or the value that ultimately will be realized upon maturity or disposition. In the evaluation of the estimated value of such assets, data for determining the value of the estimates are utilized based on the relevant facts and circumstances. The use of different market assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company evaluates and recognizes revenue by:

 

identifying the contract(s) with the customer,

 

identifying the performance obligations in the contract,

 

determining the transaction price,

 

allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

 

recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

 

Products (BSNM, DSO, GSP, and Ceautamed)

 

The Company generates product revenues by manufacturing and packaging of nutraceutical products as a contract manufacturer for customers. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenue was made up of contract manufacturing of $0 and $441,749, online marketplace of $498,792 and $759,013, wholesale of $0 and $33,578, and direct sales of $0 and $26,646, respectively, The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms. The Company records deferred revenues for prepaid amounts from customers due to no performance obligations being met at such time. The Company had unsatisfied performance obligations of $496,762 and $496,762 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Distribution expenses to transport the Company’s products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

 

Advertising /Marketing (Nexus)

 

Nexus generates advertising revenue when sales of listed products are sold by product vendors through its network as a result of the marketing efforts of digital marketers. The products on the network come from several different customers, which pay Nexus a specific amount per sale, the amount of which is dictated by the customer. The revenue is recognized upon the sale of a product by the customer, net of fraudulent traffic or disputed transactions. A portion of the specific amount received by Nexus for that sale is paid out to the digital marketer as a commission, which is recorded in cost of sales.

 

Nexus’ general payment terms are short-term in duration. Nexus does not have significant financing components or payment terms. Nexus had unsatisfied performance obligations of $4,057 and $4,057 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Freight

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, freight costs amounted to $63,946 and $60,135, respectively, and have been recorded in cost of goods sold in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $71,033 and $281,392, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program

 

The Company records Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan proceeds in accordance with ASC 470, “Debt”. Debt is extinguished when either the debtor pays the creditor or the debtor is legally released from being the primary obligor, either judicially or by the creditor.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes expense for stock options and warrants granted over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date and valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair market value of the stock options. Forfeitures are reduced from warrants outstanding and the Company calculates the amount of tax benefit available by tracking each stock option award on an employee-by-employee basis and on a grant-by-grant basis. The Company then compares the recorded expense to the tax deduction received for each stock option grant. The Company’s policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company’s tax years subject to examination by tax authorities generally remain open for three (3) years from the date of filing.

 

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. Due to the continued losses, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance at the end of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Employee Retention Credits

 

In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the Company filed for Employee Retention Credits for applicable periods in 2020 and 2021. As amounts to be refunded are subject to IRS calculations, and the timing for processing of the credits are unknown, the Company recognizes as other income amounts refunded upon the receipt of the payment. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company received $0.

 

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

 

On August 5, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40),” which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in GAAP. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The ASU is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements”. The ASU is part of the Board’s standing project to make “Codification updates for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance, and other minor improvements.” We are currently assessing the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The ASU may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note 3 — Discontinued Operations

 

ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” requires that a long-lived asset (disposal group) to be sold shall be classified as held for sale in the period in which a set of criteria have been met, including criteria that the sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. On January 29, 2024, the Company contributed nearly all of the assets of Ceautamed into First Health for a 49% ownership of First Health.

Note 7 — Leases

 

Leases Involving Real Estate

 

Leases of distribution and manufacturing facilities, customer support centers and the Company’s corporate headquarters have lease terms that generally range from 5 to 7 years.

 

Rental payments on these leases typically provide for fixed minimum payments that increase over the lease term at predetermined amounts. Certain leases of real estate provide for rental increases based on the consumer price index, which are included in the Company’s measurement of lease payments based on the rate or index in effect at lease commencement and are therefore included in the measurement of the lease liabilities.

Leases Involving Equipment

 

Equipment leases have lease terms that generally range from less than 4 years to 5 years. Rental payments on these leases typically provide for fixed minimum payments that increase over the lease term at predetermined amounts, are included in the measurement of lease payments, and are included in the measurement of lease liabilities. Certain of the leases involving equipment have purchase options. When those options are reasonably certain of being exercised, the Company reflects such purchase options when measuring the lease term and lease payments for those leases.

Note 9 — Concentrations of Credit Risks

 

Credit Risks

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains bank accounts with several financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited to the dispersion of customers across different industries and geographic regions.

 

Cash

 

The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000 per institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Major Customers

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had two significant customers representing an aggregate of 99% of revenues and one that accounted for 100% of the accounts receivable balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had two significant customers representing an aggregate of 46% of revenues and one that accounted for 26% of the accounts receivable balance.  The Company’s officers are closely monitoring the relationships with all customers.

 

Major Vendors

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had three major supplier representing an aggregate of 77% of purchases. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had one major supplier representing 22% of purchases. The Company’s officers are closely monitoring the relationships with all significant suppliers.

 

Note 10 — Income Taxes

 

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets. This assessment included the evaluation of scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to determine which deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. The Company has a 100% valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax asset.

 

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense. At March 31, 2024 and December 2023, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. Currently, the tax years subsequent to 2018 are open and subject to examination by the taxing authorities.

 

At March 31, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $19.7 million, which will be available to offset future taxable income.

Pursuant to the certificate of designation, the Company designated 200,000 shares of its preferred stock as series C preferred stock. Following is a summary of the material terms of the series C preferred stock:

 

Dividend Rights. Holders of series C preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends in the same form as dividends paid on shares of the common stock only when and if such dividends are paid on shares of common stock. No other dividends shall be paid on shares of series C preferred stock.

 

Liquidation Rights. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of series C preferred stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the same amount that a holder of common stock would receive if the series C preferred stock were fully converted (disregarding for such purposes any conversion limitations) to common stock, which amounts shall be paid prior to all holders of common stock and pari passu with all holders of series B preferred stock.

 

Voting Rights. The series C preferred stock shall vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis.

 

Conversion Rights. Each share of series C preferred stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder thereof, into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the stated value of such share of series C preferred stock ($100) by the conversion price. The conversion price is $7.00 (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations and certain fundamental transactions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not effect any conversion, and a holder shall not have the right to convert, any portion of the series C preferred stock to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon the conversion. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the holder and in its sole discretion, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options and Warrants

 

The fair value of each option and warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate     4.274.30 %
Expected volatility     53 %
Expected life (years)     10  
Dividend yield     0 %

 

The expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield constant maturity in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 was determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive shares, consisting of 213,741 warrants and 43,259 stock options, have not been included in the computation of dilutive net loss per share for the periods as the result would be antidilutive.

 

Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, the Company may become subject to threatened and/or asserted claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any matters, either individually or in the aggregate, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Note 13 — Related Party Transactions

 

The Company entered into debt with related parties which are reflected in Note 8.

 

The Company is party to a management services agreement with Trilogy Capital Group, LLC (“Trilogy”), a company controlled by the Company’s Executive Chairman.

Note 14 — Subsequent Events

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has reviewed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2024 to the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that, except as set forth below, it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

On September 9, 2024, the SEC issued an order against the Company which found that the Company entered into two separation agreements with former employees that each contained language violating Rule 21F-17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The order imposes a civil money penalty against the Company for the two noted violations in the total amount of $19,500, to be paid in four installments over the course of 360 days from the date of the order and according to the schedule set forth in the order. The first three installments are each in the amount of $5,000. The last installment is in the principal amount of $4,500 and must also contain an amount for interest accrued. The SEC Division of Enforcement may, at any time following the entry of this order, petition the SEC to: (1) reopen this matter to consider whether the Company provided accurate and complete financial information at the time representations in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were made; and (2) seek an order directing payment of the maximum civil penalty allowable under the law.

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On April 3, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Purely Optimal Nutrition Inc. (“Purely Optimal”) and Tan Enterprises, Inc., Availiant Holdings Corporation, Dannel Tan, Jason Kwan and Timur Kim (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Purely Optimal, a health supplement brand, from the Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $11,965,966.10 (the “Purchase Price”), consisting of (i) $7,859,579.66 in cash and (ii) $4,106,386.44 payable as 18,414 newly issued shares of series D convertible preferred stock, a new series of preferred stock, subject to certain adjustments described below.

 

The Purchase Price is based upon a six (6) times multiple of an estimated EBITDA of $1,467,073.35 for the twelve-month period ending on November 30, 2023 (the “Reconstructed EBITDA”). The Purchase Price will be adjusted upwards or downwards based upon the difference between (i) six (6) times the Reconstructed EBITDA and the Purchase Price and (ii) the Estimated Inventory Payment (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) and the actual amount of Inventory (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) on the closing date. In addition, the cash portion of the Purchase Price will be decreased by the amount of any outstanding indebtedness of Purely Optimal for borrowed money existing as of the closing date and any unpaid transaction expenses.

 

The securities purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a covenant that the Sellers will not compete with the business of Purely Optimal for a period of two (2) years following closing. The securities purchase agreement also contains mutual indemnification for breaches of representations or warranties and failure to perform covenants or obligations contained in the securities purchase agreement. In the case of the indemnification provided by the Sellers with respect to breaches of certain non-fundamental representations and warranties, the Sellers will only become liable for indemnified losses if the amount exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, whereupon the Sellers will be liable for all losses relating back to the first dollar, provided that the liability of the Sellers for breaches of certain non-fundamental representations and warranties shall not exceed thirty five (35%) of the Purchase Price and each Seller’s aggregate liability for the breach of fundamental representations shall be limited to the Purchase Price.

 

The closing of the securities purchase agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the completion of accounting and legal due diligence investigations; the receipt of all authorizations, consents and approvals of all governmental authorities and third parties; the release of any liens against any of the assets of Purely Optimal; the Company obtaining the requisite acquisition financing; and delivery of all documents required for the transfer of the equity interests of Purely Optimal to the Company.

This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by a holder in its sole discretion upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company.

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On April 3, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Purely Optimal Nutrition Inc., or Purely Optimal, and Tan Enterprises, Inc., Availiant Holdings Corporation, Dannel Tan, Jason Kwan and Timur Kim, or the Sellers, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Purely Optimal, a health supplement brand, from the Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $11,965,966.10, or the Purchase Price, consisting of (i) $7,859,579.66 in cash and (ii) $4,106,386.44 payable as 18,414 newly issued shares of series D convertible preferred stock, a new series of preferred stock, subject to certain adjustments described below.

 

32

 

The Purchase Price is based upon a six (6) times multiple of an estimated EBITDA of $1,467,073.35 for the twelve-month period ending on November 30, 2023, or the Reconstructed EBITDA. The Purchase Price will be adjusted upwards or downwards based upon the difference between (i) six (6) times the Reconstructed EBITDA and the Purchase Price and (ii) the Estimated Inventory Payment (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) and the actual amount of Inventory (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) on the closing date. In addition, the cash portion of the Purchase Price will be decreased by the amount of any outstanding indebtedness of Purely Optimal for borrowed money existing as of the closing date and any unpaid transaction expenses.

 

The securities purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a covenant that the Sellers will not compete with the business of Purely Optimal for a period of two (2) years following closing. The securities purchase agreement also contains mutual indemnification for breaches of representations or warranties and failure to perform covenants or obligations contained in the securities purchase agreement. In the case of the indemnification provided by the Sellers with respect to breaches of certain non-fundamental representations and warranties, the Sellers will only become liable for indemnified losses if the amount exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, whereupon the Sellers will be liable for all losses relating back to the first dollar, provided that the liability of the Sellers for breaches of certain non-fundamental representations and warranties shall not exceed thirty five (35%) of the Purchase Price and each Seller’s aggregate liability for the breach of fundamental representations shall be limited to the Purchase Price.

 

The closing of the securities purchase agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the completion of accounting and legal due diligence investigations; the receipt of all authorizations, consents and approvals of all governmental authorities and third parties; the release of any liens against any of the assets of Purely Optimal; our obtaining the requisite acquisition financing; and delivery of all documents required for the transfer of the equity interests of Purely Optimal to us.

 

Warrant Solicitation

 

On May 30, 2024, we entered into warrant solicitation inducement letters with the holders of warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 183,370 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.64 issued on December 4, 2023, or the Existing Warrants, pursuant to which the holders agreed to exercise the Existing Warrants for cash at a reduced exercise price of $4.25 per share, or for gross proceeds of $779,322.50 in the aggregate. In consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash, we agreed to issue to the holders new warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 550,110 shares of common stock, or the New Warrants.

 

On June 3, 2024, the closing of this transaction was completed, and we issued the New Warrants. The New Warrants are exercisable for a period of eighteen months at an initial exercise price of $4.25 per share and may be exercised on a cashless basis if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of, the shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants. The exercise price will be subject to customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and similar recapitalization transactions. The New Warrants also contain a beneficial ownership limitation which provides that we shall not effect any exercise, and a holder shall not have the right to exercise, any portion of a New Warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon the exercise. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by a holder in its sole discretion upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to us.

 

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acted as warrant inducement agent and financial advisor in connection with the transaction and received a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds, a management fee equal to 1% of the gross proceeds and reimbursement of certain expenses. After these fees, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $458,473. In addition, the Company issued to certain designees of H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC warrants to purchase 13,753 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.3125 per share, which such warrants will have the same terms of the New Warrants (other than the exercise price).

 

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

 

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

 

our ability to acquire new customers or retain existing customers;

 

our ability to offer competitive product pricing;

 

33

 

our ability to broaden product offerings;

 

industry demand and competition; and

 

market conditions and our market position.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As a result, we will be permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

 

disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

 Discontinued Operations

 

On July 29, 2022, we acquired 100% of Ceautamed Worldwide, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Wellness Watchers Global, LLC and Greens First Female LLC (which we collectively refer to as Ceautamed), which owns the Greens First line of branded products which have been specifically marketed to the healthcare provider sector. On January 29, 2024, we entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which we agreed to sell nearly all of the assets of Ceautamed and its subsidiaries for a 49% ownership interest in a new limited liability company, First Health FL LLC, or First Health. The agreement allows for the 51% owner to purchase the remaining 49% for $1 at an unspecified future date.  On October 1, 2024, such owner elected to exercise the option, effective as of October 2, 2024, paid us the option price of $1.00, and we delivered the remaining 49% interest in First Health to such owner. As a result, the financial results and balances of Ceautamed have been classified as discontinued operations within this report and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenues. Our total revenues decreased by $1,126,934, or 70.18%, to $478,907 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $1,605,841 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Our nutraceutical business generates revenue from the sales of nutritional and related products. Revenues from our nutraceutical business (products) decreased by $782,194, or 62.03%, to $478,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $1,260,986 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to our cash constraints and our inability to pay for raw materials used in the production of both branded and contract manufacturing products. The decreased revenues were the result of a decrease in the volume of products sold and not due to pricing changes.

 

Our digital marketing business generates revenues when sales of listed products are sold by product vendors through our network as a result of the marketing efforts of digital marketers. Revenues from our digital marketing business (advertising) decreased by $344,740, or 99.97%, to $115 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $344,855 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue is attributable to our repurposing of the subsidiary from affiliate network management to focusing on the advertising of our other subsidiaries.

 

35

 

Cost of revenues. Our total cost of revenues decreased by $966,831, or 78.09%, to $271,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $1,238,078 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Such decrease is directly related to the decrease in revenues.

 

Cost of revenues for our nutraceutical business consist of ingredients, packaging materials, freight, and labor associated with the production of various products. Cost of revenues for our nutraceutical business (products) decreased by $697,437, or 72.00%, to $271,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $968,684 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of product revenues, cost of revenues for product sales were 56.65% and 76.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in cost percentage is due to the increased focus on our branded products from contract manufacturing products.

 

Cost of revenues for our digital marketing business consist of commissions and bonuses paid to digital marketers. Cost of revenues from our digital marketing business (advertising) decreased by $269,394, or 100.00%, to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $269,394 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of advertising revenues, cost of revenues for advertising sales was 0.00% and 78.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such decrease is directly related to the decrease in revenues.

 

Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit decreased by $160,103, or 43.53%, to $207,660 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $367,763 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit was 43.36% and 22.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

General and administrative expensesOur general and administrative expenses consist primarily of advertising expenses, bad debts, rent expense, insurance and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $352,498, or 35.43%, to $642,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $994,844 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenues, our general and administrative expenses were 134.13% and 61.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such decrease was primarily due to decreased rates for D&O insurance and reduced advertising in 2024.

 

Compensation - administrative Our compensation expenses include both cash and non-cash items, including salaries plus related payroll taxes. Our compensation expenses decreased by $958,975, or 71.85%, to $375,715 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $1,334,690 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenues, our compensation expenses were 78.45% and 83.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such decrease was primarily due to reduced stock compensation expense and a reduction of headcount.

 

Professional services Our professional services expenses consist primarily of investor relations, consulting, advisory, legal and audit expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our professional services expenses increased by $554,356, or 182.36%, to $858,352 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $303,996 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenues, our professional services expenses were 179.23% and 18.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such increase was primarily due to increased fees associated with Nasdaq compliance matters.

 

Consulting fees – related parties For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we paid Trilogy Capital Group, LLC, a company controlled by our Executive Chairman, $0 and $27,547, respectively, for services rendered under a consulting agreement.

 

Depreciation and amortizationDepreciation and amortization was $323,126, or 67.47% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $435,795, or 27.14% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in amortization is associated with the impairment of intangible assets during the year end December 31, 2023.

 

36

 

Total other income (expense). We had $993,880 in total other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to total other expense, net, of $1,339,893 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.  Total other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of interest expense of $987,254 and other expense of $23,088, offset by a gain on our disposition of Ceautamed of $16,462. The other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of interest expense of $1,363,045, offset by other income of $23,152.

 

Income (loss) from discontinued operations. We had $89,585 in net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a loss in the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $215,314.

 

Net loss. As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, we had a net loss of $2,896,174 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $4,284,316 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $1,388,142, or 32.40%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash of $21,331. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations, bank borrowings and sales of our securities. Since our inception in 2017, we have experienced losses and as a result have continued to use cash in our operations. We have been dependent upon financing activities as we implement our acquisition strategy.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a working capital deficiency of $11.0 million.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures over the next 12 months from the date hereof. Accordingly, we will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common stock and/or debt financing in order to implement our business plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

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.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

For a description of the accounting policies that, in management’s opinion, involve the most significant application of judgment or involve complex estimation and which could, if different judgment or estimates were made, materially affect our reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in the Form 10-K.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2024. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which we are still in the process of remediating as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, for the description of these weaknesses.

 

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the first quarter of 2024, we continued to implement these remedial procedures.

 

As part of our plan to remediate this material weakness, we are performing a full review of our internal control procedures. We have implemented, and plan to continue to implement, new controls and new processes. We have hired and plan to continue to hire additional qualified personnel and establish more robust processes to support our internal control over financial reporting, including clearly defined roles and responsibilities. We anticipate time being required to complete the implementation and to assess and ensure the sustainability of these controls. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, 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

 

Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in any other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
