Management has developed its knowledge of such industries through its experience and participation in these industries. While our management believes the third-party sources referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reliable, neither we nor our management have independently verified any of the data from such sources referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon by such sources. Furthermore, internally prepared and third-party market prospective information, in particular, are estimates only and there will usually be differences between the prospective and actual results, because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. Also, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to any publications, reports, surveys or articles prepared by third parties should not be construed as depicting the complete findings of the entire publication, report, survey or article. The information in any such publication, report, survey or article is not incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Solely for convenience, we refer to trademarks in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q without the ® or the ™ or symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to our own trademarks. Other service marks, trademarks and trade names referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, if any, are the property of their respective owners, although for presentational convenience we may not use the ® or the ™ symbols to identify such trademarks.
OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events (including, without limitation, the terms, timing and closing of our proposed acquisitions or our future financial performance). We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predict,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions; uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels or activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Our expectations are as of the date this Quarterly Report is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Quarterly Report is filed to confirm these statements to actual results, unless required by law.
You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Quarterly Report identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:
| ● | Our ability to effectively execute our business plan; | |
| ● | Our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses; | |
| ● | Our ability to protect our brands and reputation; |
| 3 |
| ● | Our ability to repay our debts; | |
| ● | Our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics; | |
| ● | Our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry; | |
| ● | Our ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and customer behavior; | |
| ● | Risks in connection with completed or potential acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic growth opportunities and initiatives; | |
| ● | Risks related to the anticipated timing of the closing of any potential acquisitions; | |
| ● | Risks related to the integration with regards to potential or completed acquisitions; | |
| ● | Various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. |
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this Quarterly Report and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness, though we do generally believe the data to be reliable. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the possibility that we may fail to preserve our expertise in consumer product development; that existing and potential distribution partners may opt to work with, or favor the products of, competitors if our competitors offer more favorable products or pricing terms; that we may be unable to maintain or grow sources of revenue; that we may be unable maintain profitability; that we may be unable to attract and retain key personnel; or that we may not be able to effectively manage, or to increase, our relationships with customers; that we may have unexpected increases in costs and expenses. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION (continued)
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, we have only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate good opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to us and our shareholders. We will select any potential business opportunity based on our management’s best business judgment.
Our activities are subject to several significant risks, which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have limited current business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management, which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders. The risks faced by us are further increased as a result of our lack of resources and our inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2023. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Deep Green Waste & Recycling, Inc. (“Deep Green”) and Deep Green’s wholly owned subsidiaries, DG Research, Inc., DG Treasury, Inc. and Lyell Environmental Services Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash Equivalents
Investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash are considered to be cash equivalents. For the periods presented, the Company had no cash equivalents.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Taxes
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 - Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is not more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized.
We expect to recognize the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial statements will be the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no uncertain tax positions. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expenses. We currently have no federal or state tax examinations nor have we had any federal or state examinations since our inception. To date, we have not incurred any interest or tax penalties.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that requires the use of fair value measurements that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value 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. Additionally, ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
| Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. | |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions. |
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. Except for the derivative liability (see NOTE H), where Level 2 inputs were used, we had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the periods presented.
For nonrecurring fair value measurements of issuances of common stock for services and in satisfaction of convertible notes payable and accrued interest (see NOTE I), we used Level 2 inputs.
Derivative Liabilities
We evaluate convertible notes payable, stock options, stock warrants and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.

The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets (consisting primarily of property, equipment and intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Through September 30, 2023, the Company has not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Routine maintenance and repairs and minor replacement costs are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures that extend the life of these assets are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are provided for in amounts sufficient to write off the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation for both financial reporting and tax purposes. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization will be removed from the accounts and the resulting profit or loss will be reflected in the statement of operations. The estimated lives used to determine depreciation and amortization are:
| Trucks | ||
| Containers | ||
| Software | ||
| Office Equipment | ||
| Furniture and Fixtures | ||
| Waste and Recycling Equipment | ||
| Leasehold Improvements |
Goodwill
Goodwill relates to the acquisition of Lyell Environmental Services, Inc. on October 19, 2021.
We test indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value might be impaired. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of our intangible assets or reporting units are greater than their carrying value. If the qualitative assessment leads to a determination that the intangible asset/ reporting unit’s fair value may be less than its carrying value, or if we elect to bypass the qualitative assessment altogether, we are required to perform a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the intangible asset/reporting unit and comparing the fair value with its associated carrying value. The estimated fair value of our reporting units is determined based upon the income approach using discounted future cash flows. In situations where the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge would be recorded for the shortfall.

Amortizable Intangible Assets
Amortizable intangible assets consist of the customer lists and covenants not to compete acquired in connection with the Amwaste Asset Purchase Agreement on February 11, 2021 and the Lyell Environmental Services, Inc. acquisition on October 19, 2021.
We
test amortizable intangible assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. These
intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of
Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
Issuances of our common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete.
Although situations may arise in which counter performance may be required over a period of time, the equity award granted to the party performing the service may be fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date of the agreement. As a result, in this situation in which vesting periods do not exist if the instruments are fully vested on the date of agreement, we determine such date to be the measurement date and will record the estimated fair market value of the instruments granted as a prepaid expense and amortize such amount to expense over the contract period. When it is appropriate for us to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for share-based awards to employees in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”. Under this guidance, stock compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the estimated service period (generally the vesting period) on the straight-line attribute method. Share-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Equity”, wherein such awards are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered.
Related Parties
A party is considered to be related to us if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with us. Related parties also include our principal owners, our management, members of the immediate families of our principal owners and our management and other parties with which we may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties, or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests, is also a related party.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectability is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs, which were not significant for the periods presented, are expensed as incurred.
We compute net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260. The ASC specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for loss per share for entities with publicly held common stock.
Basic loss per share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive securities (such as stock options, warrants and convertible securities) outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net loss per share are excluded from the calculation.
For the periods presented, we have excluded the shares issuable from the convertible notes payable (see NOTE G) and the warrants (see NOTE I) from our diluted net loss per share calculation as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which has superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than was required under prior U.S. GAAP. We adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 has not had any significant effect on our financial statements for the periods presented.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to provide guidance on recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements, specifically differentiating between different types of leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. There continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. However, the principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases should be recognized in the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. ASU No. 2016-02 has not had any significant effect on our financial statements for the periods presented.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
On July 13, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11. Among other things, ASU 2017-11 provides guidance that eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s stock and need to be classified as liabilities. ASU 2017-11 provides for entities to recognize the effect of a down round feature only when it is triggered and then as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common stockholders in basic earnings per share. The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption was permitted.
The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11. As a result, we have not recognized the fair value of the warrants containing down round features as liabilities. Please see NOTE I - CAPITAL STOCK for further information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The above Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) contain a variable conversion feature based on the future trading price of the Company’s common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes is indeterminate. Accordingly, we have recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion feature as a derivative liability at the respective issuance dates of the Notes and charged the applicable amounts to debt discount and the remainder to other expense. The increase (decrease) in the fair value of the derivative liability from the respective issuance date of the Notes to the measurement date is charged (credited) to other expense (income).
On June 16, 2023, as part of an agreement reached with the SEC, BHP Capital agreed to surrender all conversion rights in its currently held convertible notes, surrender for cancellation all unexercised warrants that it acquired in connection with convertible notes, and surrender for cancellation any shares it holds that were acquired by converting notes or exercising related warrants.
The
fair value of the derivative liability was measured at the respective issuance date and at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 using
the Black Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used for the calculation of the derivative liability of the Notes at September 30,

NOTE L - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
Under ASC 205-40, we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by this standard, our evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of our plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued.
In
performing the first step of this assessment, we concluded that the following conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
meet our financial obligations as they become due. We have a history of net losses: As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of $
In performing the second step of this assessment, we are required to evaluate whether our plans to mitigate the conditions above alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to meet our obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Our future plans include securing additional funding sources that may include establishing corporate partnerships, establishing licensing revenue agreements, issuing additional convertible debentures and issuing public or private equity securities, including selling common stock through an at-the-market facility (ATM).
There is no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available through external sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material effect on the business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing shareholders. We have therefore concluded there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through November 2024.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from our failure to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
Deep Green Waste & Recycling, Inc. (f/k/a Critic Clothing, Inc.) (“Deep Green”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a publicly quoted company seeking to create value for its shareholders by seeking to acquire other operating entities for growth in return for shares of our common stock.
The Company was organized as a Nevada Corporation on August 24, 1995 under the name of Evader, Inc. On May 25, 2012, the Company filed its Foreign Profit Corporation Articles of Domestication to change the domicile of the Company from Nevada to Wyoming. On November 4, 2015, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Critical Clothing, Inc. and on August 28, 2017 an Amendment was filed to change the Company name to Deep Green Waste & Recycling, Inc.
On August 24, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with St. James Capital Management, LLC. Under the terms of the Agreement, St. James Capital Management, LLC transferred and assigned all of the assets of the Company related to its extreme sports apparel design and manufacturing business in exchange for the assumption of certain liabilities and cancellation of 3,000,000 shares (as adjusted for the September 27, 2017 reverse stock split of 1 share for 1000 shares) of common stock of the Company.
On August 24, 2017, the Company acquired all the membership units of Deep Green Waste and Recycling, LLC (“DGWR LLC”), a Georgia limited liability company engaged in the waste recycling business since 2011, in exchange for 85,000,000 shares (as adjusted for the September 27, 2017 reverse stock split of 1 share for 1000 shares) of the Company’s common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a “reverse merger” where DGWR LLC was considered the accounting acquiror and the Company was considered the accounting acquiree.
Effective October 1, 2017, Deep Green acquired Compaction and Recycling Equipment, Inc. (CARE), a Portland, Oregon based company that sells and services waste and recycling equipment. Deep Green purchased 100% of the common stock for $902,700. $586,890 was paid in cash at closing and a promissory note was executed in the amount of $315,810.
Effective October 1, 2017, Deep Green acquired Columbia Financial Services, Inc, (CFSI), a Portland, Oregon based company that finances the purchases of waste and recycling equipment. Deep Green purchased 100% of the common stock for $597,300. $418,110 was paid in cash at closing and a promissory note was executed in the amount of $179,190.
On August 7, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Subsidiaries and Assumption of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with Mirabile Corporate Holdings, Inc. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company transferred all capital stock of its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Compaction and Recycling Equipment, Inc. and Columbia Financial Services, Inc., to Mirabile Corporate Holdings, Inc. in exchange for the assumption and cancellation of certain liabilities. Deep Green’s then Chief Executive Officer owned a 7.5% equity interest in Mirabile Corporate Holdings, Inc.
On August 7, 2018, the Company ceased its waste recycling business.
The Company re-launched its waste and recycling services operation and has begun to re-engage with customers, waste haulers and recycling centers, which are critical elements of its historically successful business model: designing and managing waste programs for commercial and institutional properties for cost savings, ease of operation, and minimal administrative stress for its clients.
| 34 |
Asset Purchase Agreement
On February 8, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary DG Research, Inc. (the “Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Amwaste, Inc. (the “Seller”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Buyer agreed to purchase from the Seller certain assets (the “Assets”) utilized in the Seller’s waste management business located in Glynn County, Georgia. In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, the Buyer paid the seller $160,000 and issued the Seller 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The Buyer remitted $50,000 at Closing and issued the Seller a Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $110,000, which was paid April 9, 2021. The Note was secured by the Assets purchased through the Agreement. The transaction closed on February 11, 2021.
In order to further grow its business, the Company plans to:
| ● | expand its service offerings to provide additional sustainable waste management solutions that further minimize costs based on volume and content of waste streams, and methods of disposal, including landfills, transfer stations and recycling centers; | |
| ● | Acquire profitable waste and recycling services companies with similar or compatible and synergistic business models, that can help the Company achieve these objectives; | |
| ● | Offer innovative recycling services that significantly reduce the disposal of plastics, electronic wastes, food wastes, and hazardous wastes in the commercial property universe; | |
| ● | Establish partnerships with innovative universities, municipalities and companies; and | |
| ● | Attract investment funds who will actively work with the Company to achieve these goals and help the Company grow into a leading waste and recycling services supplier in North America. |
Some potential merger/acquisition candidates have been identified and discussions initiated. These candidates are within the Company’s core business model, serving commercial properties, accretive to cash flow, and geographically favorable. While seeking to identify acquisition candidates, the Company seeks to identify target entities with a similar core business model or a model which naturally integrates with its own, and which are situated in opportunistic geographic locations.
We have unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, we have only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate good opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to us and our shareholders. We will select any potential business opportunity based on our management’s best business judgment.
Our activities are subject to several significant risks, which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management, which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders. The risks faced by us are further increased as a result of its lack of resources and our inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult and subjective judgments have an impact on revenue recognition, the determination of share-based compensation and financial instruments. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated $902,987 and $368,512 revenue, respectively. In August 2023 Lyell began work on a large project located on the Vanderbilt University Medical Campus (VUMC). The $534,475 year-over-year increase is substantially due to this project
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales were $157,659 and $ 130,809 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $26,850 reflects the increase use contracted labor and to some extent an increase of supplies and materials as we started the VUMC project.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was $745,328 and $ 237,703 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses were $417,577 and $312,209 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase is due to a 2023 $21K non-cash bad debt reserve adjustment and accrued officer salaries.
Operating Loss
Our operating income (loss) was $327,751 and operating loss ($74,506) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively
We anticipate that our cost of revenues will increase in 2023 and for the foreseeable future as we continue to build out our waste management services and identify acquisition opportunities in the waste and recycling sector.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense increased to $553,841 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This was largely driven by a non-cash derivative valuation adjustment. Other income was $205,453 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and included interest expense of $213,615 and derivative liability gain of $482,191.
Net Income (Loss) from Operations
The Company’s loss from operations was $226,090 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to an income of $130,947 in for the same period in 2022.

Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated $1,315,097 and $796,127 revenue, respectively. The increase is the result of our 3rd quarter start of the Oxford House project on the Vanderbilt University Medical campus.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales were $288,930 and $300,512 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cost of sales are lower than projected due to our ability to leverage assets from our other business AMWASTE. Using these assets mean we are less dependent on outside vendors for waste disposal.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was $1,026,167 and $495,615 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses were $1,887,444 and $1,171,740 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The year-over-year increase is driven by $705,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation.
We anticipate that our cost of revenues will increase in 2023 and for the foreseeable future as we continue to build out our waste management services and identify acquisition opportunities in the waste and recycling sector.
Loss from Operations
The Company’s loss from operations increased to $846,293 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $676,125 in 2022, an increase of $170,168.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) declined to ($638,402) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Other income (expense) was ($363,915) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decline reflects non-cash derivative adjustments that are required by GAAP to properly value the conversion features of certain notes.
Net Loss
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net loss decreased to $1,499,679 from $1,040,040 in 2022, resulting in an decline of $459,639.
| 37 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2023, we had current assets of $1,067,679 and current liabilities of $6,166,167 resulting in negative working capital of $5,098,488, of which $3,051,558 was accounts payable and $169,487 was included in accrued interest. At September 30, 2023, we had total assets of $2,056,578 and total liabilities of $6,166,167 resulting in stockholders’ deficit of $4,109,589.
At December 31, 2022, we had current assets of $229,837 and current liabilities of $4,998,447 resulting in negative working capital of $4,768,610, of which $3,090,211 was accounts payable and $95,429 was included in deferred compensation. At December 31, 2022, we had total assets of $1,440,479 and total liabilities of $4,998,447 resulting in stockholders’ deficit of $3,557,968.
Accounts Payable
At September 30, 2023, the Company had accounts payable of $3,051,558 that consisted of $487,615 in default judgments due to prior vendors, $2,338,423 due to vendors for materials and services and $225,301 due for credit card obligations.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had accounts payable of $3,079,480 that consisted of $487,615 in default judgments due to prior vendors, $2,390,290 due to vendors for materials and services and $212,306 due for credit card obligations.
Debt
At September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding secured notes and convertible notes payable of $1,378,038 as well as secured notes and other loans from officers of $84,082. Please see NOTE G – DEBT for further information.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding debt of $1,399,069 that consisted of $800,818 of convertible debt, $598,2551 in a short term notes, short-term capital lease and loans payable to officers and directors. Please see NOTE G – DEBT for further information.
Capital Raising
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company raised $500,000 and $164,498 through the issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes or loans from officers, respectively.
Cash on Hand
Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $206,679 and $36,619, respectively.
Satisfaction of Outstanding Liabilities
As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a liability of $487,615 as a result of three (3) default judgments. The Company intends to negotiate settlements and establish payment plans with each creditor that will satisfy these judgements. Nonetheless, some or all of the creditors may elect to bring further litigation to protect their claims or perfect their judgments.
The Company accrued customer deposits in the form of advance payments for waste management services that could not be delivered when the Company suspended operations in August 2018. The Company intends to either resume waste management services with those customers or refund the advance payments through a repayment plan.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources to satisfy these outstanding liabilities. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.

We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.
If we are unable to raise the funds, we will seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations from the sale of our securities. We have not located any sources for these funds and may not be able to do so in the future. We expect that we will seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations. If we fail to raise funds, we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues. Please see NOTE M - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY for further information.

Convertible Notes
On October 14, 2021, the Company (the “Borrower”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“NPA”) with each of BHP Capital NY Inc. and Quick Capital, LLC (together, the “Investors”) and issued each of the Investors a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the amount of Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven and NO/100 Dollars ($666,667). The Note is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time before maturity (October 14, 2022) at the option of the holder at the Fixed Conversion Price that shall be the lesser of: (a) $0.01 or (b) 70% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 30%) (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). “Market Price” means the average of the two lowest Closing Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCBB, OTCQB or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being quoted or traded. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Borrower’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value of the Common Stock to the lowest value possible under law. The Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment. If the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock have not been delivered within three (3) business days to the Holder, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded by the Holder. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Holder for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price. The Note has a term of one (1) year and bears interest at 10% annually. As part and parcel of the foregoing transaction, each of the Investors was issued 1,533 shares of common stock as Commitment shares and a warrant (the “Warrant”) granting the holder the right to purchase up to 44,444 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $22.50 for a term of 5-years. The transaction closed on October 19, 2021 As of December 31, 2022, $592,004 principal plus $0 interest were due on the Quick Capital Note.

Cash Flows
We had net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 of $423,503 and $ 216,317, respectively.
We had net cash provided in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 of $0 and $0, respectively.
We had net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 of $593,576 and $180,664, respectively.
Required Capital Over the Next Twelve Months
We expect to incur losses from operations for the near future. We believe we will have to raise an additional $1,000,000 to expand our operations over the next twelve months, including roughly $50,000 to remain current in our filings with the SEC. The additional funds will be utilized for hiring ancillary staff and key personnel, corporate website and SEO development, acquisition(s) in the waste and recycling management sector and day-to-day operations.
Future financing may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, existing holders of our securities may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our securities.
If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay or alter our business plan based on available financing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The SEC issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the following significant policies as critical to the understanding of our financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. Our management expects to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any relationships with any organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s President concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s President, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there was no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
