NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Applied UV, Inc. (the "Parent") was formed and incorporated in the State of Delaware for the intended purpose of holding the equity of SteriLumen, Inc. (“SteriLumen”), MunnWorks, LLC (“MunnWorks” and together with SteriLumen, the “Subsidiaries”) and other companies acquired or created by the Parent in the future. The Parent acquired the Subsidiaries pursuant to three share exchanges whereby the equity holders of the Subsidiaries exchanged all of their equity interests in the Subsidiaries for shares of voting stock of the Parent. As a result of the share exchanges, each Subsidiary became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. The Parent and each Subsidiary are collectively referred to herein as (the "Company").

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Applied UV, Inc., Munnworks, LLC, SteriLumen, Inc., Puro Lighting, LLC, and LED Supply Co. LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read along with the Annual Report filed of the Company for the annual period ended December 31, 2022.

Concentration of Credit and Business Risk

At times throughout the year, the Company maintains cash balances at various institutions, which may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was approximately $2,959,000 in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no major suppliers that accounted for over 10% of supplies and materials used by the Company.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation and accounting for equity awards related to warrants and stock-based compensation, determination of fair value for derivative instruments, the accounting for business combinations and allocating purchase price and estimating the useful life of intangible assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and equivalents include highly liquid investments that have original maturities less than 90 days at the time of their purchase. These investments are carried at cost which approximates market value because of their short maturities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $27,000, respectively, in cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable balance consists of amounts due from its customers. The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any potentially uncollectable accounts under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model and presents the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. The CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, which considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Based on this model, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, collection history, and current economic trends. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Bad debts are recorded after all collection efforts have ceased. Allowances for credit losses are recorded as a direct reduction from an asset’s amortized cost basis. Credit losses and recoveries are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Recoveries of financial assets previously written off are recorded when received. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had (recoveries) credit losses of $(41,905) and $107,075, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had (recoveries) credit losses of $(135,467) and $155,226, respectively. Based on the Company’s current and historical collection experience, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $105,000 and $35,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Inventory

Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Raw materials and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) valuation method. Work-in-process and finished goods includes the cost of materials, freight and duty, direct labor and overhead. The Company writes down inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. The company had a reserve for inventory approximating $187,000 and $88,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of machinery and equipment is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Schedule of estimated useful lives   
Machinery and equipment  5 to 7 years
Leasehold improvements  Lesser of term of lease or useful life
Furniture and fixtures  5 to 7 years

Business Acquisition Accounting

The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for those that meet the criteria of a business combination. The Company allocates the purchase price of its business acquisitions based on the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets. The difference between the total cost of the acquisition and the sum of the fair values of acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets less liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company has recorded intangible assets, including goodwill, in connection with business combinations. Estimated useful lives of amortizable intangible assets are determined by management based on an assessment of the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to future cash flows.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company tests these assets for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. For the purposes of that assessment, the Company has determined to assign assets acquired in business combinations to a single reporting unit including all goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired in business combinations.

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns using the cash basis of accounting. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Current income taxes are based on the year's income taxable for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Derivative Instruments

The Company evaluates its warrants to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market 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 statements of operations as other income or expense.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company has concluded that there are no such reclassifications required to be made as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to value the derivative warrants as stipulated in the agreement for the warrant holders to receive cash based on that value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for loans payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of the financial instruments. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the number of potential shares of common stock that have been excluded from diluted net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive:

Schedule of Anti-dilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Loss Per Share:
   As of June 30,
   2023  2022
Common stock options   254,256    163,856 
Series B Preferred Stock   1,250,000    —   
Series C Preferred Stock   399,996    —   
Common stock warrants   308,484    38,484 
Total   2,212,736    202,340 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 ("ASC"), Compensation-Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock and modifications to existing stock options, to be recognized in the statements of operations based on their fair values over the requisite service period.

Reverse Stock Split

Applied UV, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “reverse stock split”) of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on May 30, 2023. The Certificate of Amendment has no effect on the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or their par value. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

All historical share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligations in the client contract has been achieved. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer product to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of goods in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

 10 

 

Applied UV, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1)Identify the contract with a customer.
2)Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
3)Determine the transaction price.
4)Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.
5)Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

MunnWorks projects, including those from the VisionMark acquisition, are completed within the Company’s facilities. For these projects, the company designs, manufactures and sells custom mirrors and furniture for the hospitality and retail industries through contractual agreements. These sales require the company to deliver the products within three to nine months from commencement of order acceptance. Revenue is recognized using the input method of accounting. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed typically does not occur as the Company will not perform any work in excess of the amount the company bills to its customers. If work is performed in excess of amounts billed, the Company will record an unbilled receivable

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

The company applied the five-step model to the sales of Puro's disinfection solution, LED's lighting products, Akida’s and KES’s Airocide™ and misting system products, and SciAir’s whole-room aerosol chamber and laboratory certified air disinfection machines. At contract inception and once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company sells Airocide™ air sterilization units, misting systems, and whole-room aerosol chamber and laboratory certified disinfection machines to both consumer and commercial customers. These products are sold both domestically and internationally. The cycle from contract inception to shipment of products is typically one day to three months. The Company’s contracts for both its consumer and commercial customers each contain a single performance obligation (delivery of Airocide™, KES, and SciAir products), as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. As a result, the entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product by the Company or upon customer pick-up via third party common carrier.

Revenue recognized over time and revenue recognized at a point in time for the three months ended:

Schedule of revenue:

          
   June 30,

Advertising

Advertising costs consist primarily of online search advertising and placement, trade shows, advertising fees, and other promotional expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing on the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $144,100 and $348,377, respectively. Advertising expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $295,718 and $546,372, respectively.

Vendor deposits

Vendor payments to third manufactures are capitalized until completion of the project and are recorded as vendor deposits. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the vendor deposit balance was $1,149,385 and $75,548, respectively.

Patent Costs

The Company capitalizes costs consisting principally of outside legal costs and filing fees related to obtaining and maintaining patents. The Company amortizes patent costs over the useful life of the patent which is typically 20 years, beginning with the date the patent is filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or foreign equivalent. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, capitalized patent costs net of accumulated amortization was $3,214,729 and $1,593,741, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $47,516 and $25,016, respectively, of amortization expense for these patents. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $89,012 and $50,032, respectively, of amortization expense for these patents.

Recently adopted accounting standards:

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2023. These standards replace the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measure at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The Company determined that this change does not have a material impact to the financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if converted method for all convertible instruments. The amendments in this update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2024 and may be early adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION

The Company accounted for the acquisitions as a business combinations using the purchase method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). In accordance with ASC 805 and ASC 820, the Company used its best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition dates. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The results of operations of the acquired businesses since the date of acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, as determined by management. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The value of the goodwill from the acquisitions described below can be attributed to a number of business factors including, but not limited to, cost synergies expected to be realized and a trained technical workforce.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)

In conjunction with acquisitions noted below, we used various valuation techniques to determine fair value of the assets acquired, with the primary techniques being discounted cash flow analysis, relief-from-royalty, a form of the multi-period excess earnings and the with-and-without valuation approaches, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Inputs to these valuation approaches require significant judgment including: (i) forecasted sales, growth rates and customer attrition rates, (ii) forecasted operating margins, (iii) royalty rates and discount rates used to present value future cash flows, (iv) the amount of synergies expected from the acquisition, (v) the economic useful life of assets and (vi) the evaluation of historical tax positions. In certain acquisitions, historical data is limited, therefore, we base our estimates and assumptions on budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data.

In relation with the purchase by SteriLumen, Inc., of Old SAM Partners, LLC, on March 31, 2022, there was a settlement of a dispute that arose during the first quarter of 2022 between both parties regarding certain representations and warranties in the purchase agreement which resulted in a settlement and mutual release agreement where the seller agreed to relinquish any right, title, and interest in the previously issued 80,000 shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the company recorded a loss on change in fair market value of contingent consideration of $240,000 and, as a result of the settlement agreement, the company recorded a gain on settlement of contingent consideration of $1,700,000. The Company also determined that a triggering event had occurred as a result of the settlement agreement. A quantitative impairment test on the goodwill and intangible assets determined that the fair value was below the carrying value and as a result the Company recorded a full goodwill impairment charge of $1,138,203 in the first quarter of 2022.

On March 25, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement by and among the Company, Munnworks, LLC., a New York Limited Liability Company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”) and VisionMark LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired substantially all of the assets of the Seller in exchange for the assumption of obligations of buyer under the sublease and sublease guarantee.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)

***Represents the difference in fair value of common stock on the date of acquisition versus agreed upon $2 per share ("Make Whole"). In the event any PURO Equity holder sells any shares of Common Stock obtained pursuant to the terms of the Agreement through a registered broker/dealer on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date for a price per share of the Common Stock less than $2.00 (the “Sale Price”), Parent will pay to such PURO Equity holder within ten (10) Business Days following the consummation of such sale to an account designated in writing by such PURO Equity holder an amount equal to (a) (i) $2.00 less (ii) the Sale Price, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock sold in such sale (the “Make Whole Amount”). The Make Whole Amount payment shall be 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Common Stock (with the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued determined based on a price per share equal to 90% of the Sale Price). As a result of the make-whole provision, the liability was reduced to $2,677,020 as of June 30, 2023 with the change in fair market value of $119,866 being recorded to other income within the consolidated statements of operations.

In the event any LED Equityholder sells any shares of Common Stock obtained pursuant to the terms of the Agreement through a registered broker/dealer on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date for a price per share of the Common Stock less than $2.00 (the “Sale Price”), Parent will pay to such LED Equityholder within ten (10) Business Days following the consummation of such sale to an account designated in writing by such LED Equityholder an amount equal to (a) (i) $2.00 less (ii) the Sale Price, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock sold in such sale (the “Make Whole Amount”). The Make Whole Amount payment shall be 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Common Stock (with the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued determined based on a price per share equal to 90% of the Sale Price).

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements requires that financial assets and liabilities be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

Level 2 – Based on observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3– Based on unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

We did not have any transfers between levels during the periods presented.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

                         
   Carrying Amount  Fair Value  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3
   As of June 30, 2023
Assets

Contingent consideration  $18,809,672   $18,809,672   $4,153,999   $—     $14,655,673

    As of December 31, 2022
Assets                         
Money market funds  $26,828   $26,828   $26,828   $—     $—   
Total assets  $26,828   $26,828   $26,828   $—     $—

Warrant liability   9,987    9,987    —      —      9,987 
Total liabilities  $9,987   $9,987   $—     $—     $9,987 

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximated fair values as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. There were no other level 3 or level 1 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2023

Money market funds – Cash equivalents of $26,981 and $26,828 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, consisted of money market funds. Money market funds are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

Contingent consideration – The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the common stock true-up is derived through the quoted market price of our stock, which represents a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. As a result of the merger transaction, the company assumed an Earn-out liability, which is remeasured each reporting period. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the fair value measurement of the deferred earn-out is deemed to use Level 3 inputs. The Earn-out liability was accounted for as a liability as of the date of the merger transaction and will be remeasured to fair value until the Earnout Triggering Events are met.

Warrant liability – The fair value of the warrant liability is derived through the Black Scholes method and is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

Other Fair Value Measurements

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, GAAP requires that, under certain circumstances, we also record assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

In connection with our acquisitions we used various valuation techniques to determine fair value, with the primary techniques being discounted cash flow analysis and the relief-from-royalty, a form of the multi-period excess earnings, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy

The initial redemption price after year 1 is $30 and decreases annually over 5 years to $25 per share. The Company also has a special optional redemption right upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or Change of Control, as defined, at $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The holders have no voting rights, except for voting on certain corporate decisions, or upon default in payment of dividends for any twelve periods, in which case the holders would have voting rights to elect two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors. Such shares are not convertible unless and until the occurrence of a Delisting Event or Change of Control and when the Company has not exercised its special optional redemption right. The conversion price would be the lesser of the amount converted based on the $25.00 liquidation preference plus accrued dividends divided by the common stock price of the Delisting Event or Change of Control (as defined) or $5.353319 (Share Cap). Effectively, the Share Cap limits the common stock price to no lower than $4.67.

Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $161,465 and $108,178 was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, based on requisite service periods.

Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $322,063 and $330,240 was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, based on requisite service periods.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the year was the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the options.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price.

As of June 30, 2023, there was $1,140,186 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee options granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.05 years.

NOTE 10 - LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company determines whether an arrangement qualifies as a lease under ASC 842 at inception. The Company has operating leases for office space and office equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to seven years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years. The Company considered these options to extend in determining the lease term used to establish the Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities once reasonably certain of exercise. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made in advance of lease commencement and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms used in the calculations of the operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate of 7.6% based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Munnworks, LLC entered into a lease agreement in Mount Vernon, New York for a term that commenced on April 1, 2019 and will expire on the 31st day of March 2024 at a monthly rate of $13,400.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 10 - LEASING ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Consistent with ASC 842-20-50-4, the Company calculated its total lease cost based solely on its monthly rent obligation. The Company had no cash flows arising from its lease, no finance lease cost, short term lease cost, or variable lease costs. The Company’s lease does not produce any sublease income, or any net gain or loss recognized from sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company did not need to segregate amounts between finance and operating leases for cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities, segregated between operating and financing cash flows; supplemental non-cash information on lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets; weighted-average calculations for the remaining lease term; or the weighted-average discount rate.

NOTE 11 - SEGMENT REPORTING

FASB Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. The Company has two reportable segments: the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of disinfecting systems for use in healthcare, hospitality, and commercial municipal and residential markets (disinfectant segment) and the manufacture of fine mirrors specifically for the hospitality industry (hospitality segment). The segments are determined based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery channels and similar economic characteristics.

An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development costs and stock-based compensation. It does not include other charges (income), net and interest and other, net.

According to Research and Markets, the UV Disinfection market is expected to reach $9 billion by 2027 as technology continues to improve and the focus on stopping the spread of contagious diseases increases. The Center for Disease Control states that 1 in 25 patients have at least one Hospital Associated Infection (HAI) annually and that 3 million serious infections occur every year in long-term care facilities. Losses from contagious infections, pathogens, and viruses cost the U.S. economy more than $270B every year as per the CDC: $28B lost through HAI’s; $225B in lost productivity due to absenteeism; and $25B in losses due to Student/Teacher absenteeism. Scientists globally have been advocating improving air quality post pandemic, significantly boosting global adoption to control airborne pathogen transmission.  Governments globally mandating health agencies to address improving indoor air quality (IAQ) via grants and mechanisms to ease visitation and protect facilities against future pathogens (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services – CMS, February 2022 Long-term Care Initiative April 2022 White House Clean Air Initiatives).

Indoor air quality (IAQ) has become an even more important issue as world economies transition beyond the COVID 19 pandemic. In 2021, 39 scientists reiterated the need for a "paradigm shift" and called for improvements in, "how we view and address the transmission of respiratory infections to protect against unnecessary suffering and economic losses."  In mid-2022 we began to see this seismic shift from pandemic related mobile apparatuses to complete systems within systems for facilities designed to monitor, improve, and report on a more permanent basis.  While there are opportunities for mobile systems, our emphasis will be on this growing market trend.

Acquisitions

Air Disinfection Solutions & LED Lighting: Airocide, Scientific Air, PURO and LED Supply Co.

In February of 2021, the Company acquired all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Akida Holdings, LLC (“Akida”). At the time of the acquisition, Akida owned the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, originally developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, that uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, titanium dioxide based photocatalyst that has helped to accelerate the reopening of the global economy with applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing home, grocer, wine, commercial building and retail sectors. The Airocide™ system has been used by brands such as NASA, Whole Foods, Dole, Chiquita, Opus One, Sub-Zero Refrigerators and Robert Mondavi Wines. Akida had contracted KES Science & Technology, Inc. (“KES”) to manufacture, warehouse and distribute the Airocide™ system and Akida’s contractual relationship with KES was assigned to and assumed by the Company as part of the acquisition.

On September 28, 2021, the Company acquired all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of KES. At the time of the acquisition, KES was principally engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies and misting systems. KES also had the exclusive right to the sale and distribution of the Airocide™ system in certain markets. This acquisition consolidated all of manufacturing, sale and distribution of the Airocide™ system under the SteriLumen brand and expanded the Company’s market presence in food distribution, post-harvest produce, wineries, and retail sectors. The Company sells its products throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

The Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, originally developed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, titanium dioxide based photocatalyst to eliminate airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds and many odors. The core Airocide™ technology has been in use on the International Space Station and is based on photo-catalytic oxidation (PCO), a bioconversion process that continuously converts damaging molds, microorganisms, dangerous pathogens, destructive volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and biological gasses into harmless water vapor. Unlike other air purification systems that provide “active” air cleaning, ozone producing systems, ionization or “photo-electrochemical oxidation”, Airocide’s™ nanocoating technology permanently bonds titanium dioxide to the surface of the catalytic bed. This permits the perpetual generation of surface-bound (OH-) radicals over the large surface area created by their advanced geometric design and prevents the generation and release of ozone and other harmful byproducts. The proprietary formulation and methods for creating the catalyst are the basis of Airocide’s™ competitive advantage, making it the only consistently robust, highly effective, ozone free PCO technology on the market. Airocide™ has been tested over the past 12 years by governmental agencies such as NASA, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, independent universities including the University of Wisconsin, Texas Tech University, and Texas A&M, as well as air quality science laboratories. Airocide™ technology is listed as a FDA Class II Medical Device, making it a suitable for providing medical grade air purification in critical hospital use cases. Airocide™ Product lines include APS (consumer units), the GCS and HD lines (commercial units that will include the SteriLumen App to bring connectivity, reporting and asset management to our suite of products). The APS series provides true choice, low maintenance filter-less PCO or a filtered PCO air purification option ideal for restaurants, conference rooms, residential and small business or home office spaces. The GCS series is suitable for larger public spaces and enclosed rooms that may have high occupancy such as offices, waiting rooms and hotel lobbies, and airport gate areas. The HD series is the most powerful, providing two-stage purification for fast sanitization of larger or industrial spaces such as sporting venues and locker rooms, airports, museums, winery cellars, warehouses, and food-processing facilities. All Airocide™ products also extend the life of any perishables like fruit, produce or flowers.

On October 13, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Old SAM Partners, LLC F/K/A Scientific Air Management, LLC (“Old SAM”), which owned a line of air purification technologies (“Scientific Air”). The Scientific Air product line uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, patented system to eliminate airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds, and many odors without producing any harmful by-products. Scientific Air’s products are well suited for larger spaces within a facility due to the higher air flow of these units. The units are also mobile with industrial grade casters, allowing for movement throughout a facility to address increased bio burden from larger meetings or increased human traffic. Both of these key items extend our Airocide line, creating a comprehensive air disinfection portfolio that spans from small to large spaces and mobile applications. Scientific Air’s products are currently sold predominantly in North America and into the healthcare market.

PURO Lighting

On January 26, 2023 we closed on the merger agreement with PURO Lighting LLC and LED Supply Co. LLC along with its operating subsidiaries (“PURO merger”). PURO and LED Supply Co. own a powerful suite of products used in education, government, and healthcare that incorporates UV Lighting and a HVAC monitoring software platform; LED Supply Co. provides design, distribution, and implementation services for lighting, controls and smart building technologies.

PURO Lighting was founded in 2019 with the goal of using light technology to promote health and wellness within spaces. Today PURO provides a suite of UV disinfection systems that have the ability to disinfect air and surfaces in commercial and industrial spaces. They focus their sales efforts in three primary verticals: Education, Government, and Healthcare.  The acquisition of PURO Lighting, LLC adds PUROHealth and PURONet - a powerful suite of products used in education, government, and healthcare that incorporates UV Lighting and a HVAC monitoring software platform. With its UL listed and patented portfolio of independently tested (Resonova Labs) synergistic surface and air disinfection technologies that help facility managers protect against multiple pathogens; PURO opens new opportunities for cross marketing sales to existing distribution channels. Additionally, the potential to inter-connect our entire portfolio of disinfection technology solutions into the IoT will provide our customers with both products and smart tools to manage and monitor indoor air quality (IAQ) across any enterprise. Applied UV’s proprietary platform suite of patented technologies offers the most complete pathogen disinfection platform including mobile, fixed and HVAC systems and solutions allowing companies to implement the IAQ measures recommended by the EPA.  PURO boast a strong domestic sales network with reps in 43 states, and distribution in all 50 states.  Their product offerings encompass a range of innovative solutions, including UVC systems for air handling, in-room continuous disinfection using cutting-edge Far-UVC technology, and specialized surface disinfection solutions designed specifically for the healthcare industry.

The PURO Acquisition further positions the Company to address a growing air disinfection market trend that aligns with the White House “Clean Air Initiatives” implemented during the height of the COVID 19 Pandemic designed to protect consumers and businesses against existing and future airborne pathogens allowing economies globally to remain open. The merged entities have proven applications that can now be included in improving indoor air quality (IAQ) at the facility level including HVAV systems in public, government, municipal, retail spaces and buildings. The PURO Acquisition positions Applied UV to be one of the only companies in the world to offer a complete air and surface disinfection platform that includes consumer, fixed and mobile, and commercial applications that are research backed, clinically tested and that are used by global Fortune 100 end users in multiple verticals.

LED Supply Company

Founded in 2009, LED Supply Company is a national, Colorado-based company that provides design, distribution, and implementation services for lighting, controls and smart building technologies. LED Supply Co continues to expand its market reach with a focus on new types of energy efficiency and sustainable technologies. Along with its robust e-commerce component, LED Supply Company has recently taken the next step in revenue growth by repositioning itself as a preferred supplier for not only the latest in LED technologies, but the source for emerging technologies and product categories that the construction and retrofit market need; from electric vehicle charging to smart home technology, emergency and safety equipment, and much more.

We see synergies across our entire air and surface disinfection portfolio. First, we look to leverage Airocide’s global distribution capabilities to facilitate the sale of Scientific Air’s and PURO’s offerings internationally. Second, we look to leverage PURO’s strength in healthcare to pull through existing Airocide™ units, creating a broad healthcare product line, from small clinics, patient rooms and doctor’s offices to larger spaces such as nursing stations, waiting rooms and cafeterias. Third, we look to leverage the national MunnWorks hospitality reach with leading luxury hotel chain operators to pull through our entire air and surface disinfection portfolio (Airocide™ and Lumicide™) as well as PURO’s offerings into future hotel, condo and other renovation, upgrade and remodeling projects. Fourth, the Company will look to work with Canon Virginias’ (CVI) extensive field support team to promote the sale of the Companys’ products as well as service capabilities.  Finally, we look to incorporate the PUROAir, PUROHealth and PURONet  (a powerful suite of products used in healthcare that incorporates UV Lighting and a HVAC monitoring software platform) into our IoT integration plans via the Teralumen App across our entire platform connecting all our units, thereby creating a leading smart asset management, reporting, and control system tool that can be incorporated across all enterprises.

The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assist in analyzing our segment operating performance by removing the impact of certain key items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or "adjusted") measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity, and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenues, operating income, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Operating Profit (Loss), excluding Depreciation and Amortization, and excluding Stock Based Compensation and Loss on Impairment of Goodwill/Intangible Assets. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was a decrease of $0.5 million as compared to the three ended June 31, 2022. By segment, Hospitality decreased $0.6 million, Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies increased $0.3 million, and Corporate decreased $0.2 million.

Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of disinfecting pathogen elimination systems for use in food preservation, healthcare, hospitality, education and public spaces, cannabis, correctional facilities, and commercial, municipal and residential markets (Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment); the manufacture of fine mirrors and custom furniture specifically for the hospitality industry (Hospitality segment); and the Corporate Segment, which includes expenses primarily related to corporate governance, such as board fees, legal expenses, audit fees, executive management, and listing costs. See NOTE 11 – Segment Reporting.

Net Sales

Net sales of $10.8 million represented an increase of $4.9 million, or 83.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to net sales of $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment increased $4.0 million, primarily due the acquisition of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. on January 26, 2023. Additionally, the Hospitality segment increased $0.9 million, as that market is steadily improving.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $1.1 million from $1.3m, or 22.1% vs. sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $2.4m, or 22.2% vs. sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The improvement from 22.1% to 22.2% was driven primarily by the improved margins in the Hospitality segment as the lower margin legacy projects from the VisionMark asset acquisition have been completed. Gross profit as a percentage of sales also improved 4.4% as compared to Q1 2023, primarily due to the more favorable sales mix in Q2 2023. The higher margin Disinfection/Healthy Buildings Technology segment sales were 52.5% of Q2 2023 sales as compared to 42.9% in Q1 2023.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General, and Administrative – S,G&A costs, excluding stock based compensation, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased to $4.7 million as compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase of $0.8 million was driven primarily by the expansion of the Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment with the acquisitions of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. These acquisitions accounted for approximately $1.7 million of the increase, offset by a reduction in other SG&A expenses of $0.7 million and a $0.2 million decrease in Corporate expenses. The Company is working to further improve cost synergies as the integration of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. progresses.

Other Income/Expense

The Company incurred interest expense of $0.5 million due to the borrowings of Streeterville Capital and Pinnacle Bank., primarily to help fund the acquisitions of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. and to also fund additional working capital requirements.

The Company incurred a non-cash gain on the change in fair market value of contingent consideration of $0.2 million because of the make whole provision within the PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. merger agreement. The change related to the increase in our stock price from March 31, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2023.

Net Loss

The Company recorded a net loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $0.1 million in the net loss was mainly due to the $0.6 million increase in the net loss of the Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment primarily as a result of increased S,G&A costs from the acquisitions of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co., offset by the improved profitability of $0.5 million in the Hospitality segment.

The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assist in analyzing our segment operating performance by removing the impact of certain key items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or "adjusted") measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity, and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenues, operating income, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Operating Profit (Loss), excluding Depreciation and Amortization, and excluding Stock Based Compensation and Loss on Impairment of Goodwill/Intangible Assets. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was an increase of $1.0 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. By segment, Hospitality decreased $0.8 million, Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies increased $1.1 million, and Corporate increased $0.7 million.

Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of disinfecting pathogen elimination systems for use in food preservation, healthcare, hospitality, education and public spaces, cannabis, correctional facilities, and commercial, municipal and residential markets (Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment); the manufacture of fine mirrors and custom furniture specifically for the hospitality industry (Hospitality segment); and the Corporate Segment, which includes expenses primarily related to corporate governance, such as board fees, legal expenses, audit fees, executive management, and listing costs. See NOTE 11 – Segment Reporting.

Net Sales

Net sales of $21.5 million represented an increase of $12.2 million, or 132.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net sales of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to the Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment, which increased $6.6 million, primarily due to the acquisition of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. on January 26, 2023. The Hospitality segment increased $5.6 million, largely as a result of the strategic acquisition on March 25, 2022 of the operations of VisionMark in Brooklyn, NY, which increased $4.6 million, combined with the organic growth of our legacy MunnWorks business of $1.0 million.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $1.8 million from $2.5 million, or 26.5% vs. sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $4.3 million, or 20.2% vs. sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease from 26.5% to 20.2% was driven primarily by the lower margins in our Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment due to special “one-time” discounting of our Consumer Airocide™ product in Q1 2023 and the increase in sales of the Healthy Building Technologies product line from the PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. acquisitions.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General, and Administrative – S,G&A costs, excluding stock based compensation, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased to $9.8 million as compared to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase of $3.1 million was driven primarily by the expansion of the Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment with the acquisitions of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. These acquisitions accounted for $3.2 million of the increase, and were offset by reductions in other S,G&A expenses of $1.1m. In Corporate, legal expenses increased $0.6 million.

Other Income/Expense

The Company incurred interest expense of $0.9 million due to the borrowings of Streeterville Capital and Pinnacle Bank, primarily to help fund the acquisitions of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. and to also fund additional working capital requirements.

For the first half of 2023, the Company incurred a non-cash loss on change in fair market value of contingent consideration of $0.4 million because of the make whole provision within the PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. merger agreement. The change related to the decrease in our stock price from the date of acquisition of January 26, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2023.

Net Loss

The Company recorded a net loss of $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $3.0 million in the net loss was mainly due to the $3.2 million increase in S,G&A costs incurred as a result of the acquisitions of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. in support of the expansion to the Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment, offset by reductions in other S,G&A expenses of $1.1m, the $1.9 million increase in Corporate expenses due to increased legal expenses of $0.6 million, interest expense of $0.9m, and loss on change in contingent consideration of $0.4 million, offset by improved profitability in the Hospitality segment of $0.7 million.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $6.6 million, as compared to $5.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities decreased $4.4 million primarily due to net cash paid of $4.1 million for the acquisitions of PURO Lighting and LED Supply Co. on January 26, 2023.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023 cash provided by financing activities was $11.6 million, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company also raised net proceeds $2.3 million through its ATM facility with Maxim Group with 1,818,214 shares sold, and an additional $4.4 million from their public offering on June 21, 2023.

On July 1, 2022, the Company filed a $50 million mixed use shelf registration (Form S-3) and entered into an At The Market sales agreement ("ATM") with Maxim Group, LLC for a total of $9 million, as a readily available source of funding if needed. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 804,811 ATM shares through the sales agent with net proceeds of $1.0 million. As of June 30, 2023, an additional 1,818,214 shares have been sold for net proceeds of $2.3 million, leaving a balance of $5.7 million on the ATM facility. The ATM facility with Maxim expired July 1, 2023. The shelf registration statement will expire on July 12, 2025.

The Company believes our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations and growth strategy.

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2023, due to the existence of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Financial Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board, senior management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. We continue to review our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the control deficiencies identified during this evaluation and set forth below, our senior management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 due to the existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below.

As set forth below, management will continue to take steps to remediate the control deficiencies identified below. Notwithstanding the control deficiencies described below, we have performed additional analyses and other procedures to enable management to conclude that our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company’s management has developed a remediation plan to address the material weakness and as of January 1, 2021 began using a new cloud-based software which tracks the progress of jobs and more accurately reflects the percentage of job completeness ensure such revenue is recognized in the appropriate period. In addition, the Company intends to further remediate the deficiency by performing the following:

design and implement additional internal controls and policies to ensure that we routinely review and document our application of established significant accounting policies; and
implement additional systems and technologies to enhance the timeliness and reliability of financial data within the organization.
continue to engage third-party subject matter experts to aid in identifying and applying US GAAP rules related to complex financial instruments as well as to enhance the financial reporting function.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control procedures over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
