SMARTMETRIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

SmartMetric, Inc. (the “Company” or “SmartMetric”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002. SmartMetric’s main product is a fingerprint sensor-activated credit/debit card with a finger sensor onboard the card and a built-in rechargeable battery for portable biometric identification and card activation. This card may be referred to as a biometric credit and or debit card or the SmartMetric Biometric credit card. SmartMetric has completed development of its card along with pre-mass manufacturing cards and is now in the final stages of production of its credit/debit biometric card. The release of this card is imminent.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all the adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2023. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022, as amended, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements the Company has sustained recurring losses of $982,402 and $1,410,088 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, and has an accumulated deficit of $31,478,445, and $30,496,043 at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of this filing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. COVID-19 has had an impact on SmartMetric’s final card production. While the delays are primarily due to supply line disruption, the Company is confident that these delays will be short-lived based on advice from our manufacturing partners, manufacturing alternatives and alternative supply lines that are being put into place by the Company.

Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include product marketing and distribution. The management plans include equity sales and borrowing in order to fund the operations.

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.

As of 2023, the Company has seen its electronics assembly move forward following delays in 2020, 2021 and 2022. During the span of these past three years, SmartMetric was adversely impacted in its product development of and production plans for its biometric credit card product.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SmartMetric Australia Pty. Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. SmartMetric Australia Pty Ltd., having no assets or bank accounts and no operations, has been voluntarily dissolved as a corporation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Research and Development

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic net loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options or warrants and convertible notes. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, 16,935,352 and 54,664,518 dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share, with all dilutive shares being common stock warrants at March 31, 2023 and 2022, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the employees required service period, which is generally the vesting period.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 - Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of March 31, 2023 or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and related party and third-party notes payables approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s notes payable to related parties approximate the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of terms that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at March 31, 2023.

NOTE 3 - PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses represent the unexpired terms of various consulting agreements as well as advance rental payments. Prepaid expenses at March 31, 2023 were $7,850.

NOTE 5 - DEBT

On April 17, 2020, we received funds under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), a part of the CARES Act. The loan was serviced by Chase Bank, and the application for these funds required us to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan necessary to support our ongoing operations. We used the funds for payroll and related costs. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, was dependent on our ability to adhere to the forgiveness criteria. The loan bore interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum and had a maturity date of April 6, 2022, with the first payment being deferred until April 17, 2021. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts could be forgiven if they were used in accordance with the CARES Act. The Company applied for forgiveness of this loan as of October 2021, and forgiveness was granted by the Small Business Administration. Therefore, the loan is considered paid in full.

NOTE 7 - MANDATORY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Issuances of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On January 10, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, providing for the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

On January 14, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations for its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The authorized number of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is 1,000,000 shares, par value 0.001. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, rank: (a) senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with the Company’s common stock, (b) junior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with respect to the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, and (c) junior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation to all existing indebtedness of the Company. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will carry an annual ten percent (10%) cumulative dividend, compounded daily, payable solely upon redemption, liquidation or conversion. The Company will have a right, at any time in the period of 180 days from the date of the issuance, at the Company’s option, to redeem all or any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock at prices ranging from 105% to 130%, based on the passage of time.

The number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding were 17,300 and 65,425, respectively, for March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

The holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time during the period beginning on the date which is six (6) months following the date of their issuance, to convert all or any part of the outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at the Variable Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 71% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 29%). “Market Price” means the average of the two (2) lowest Trading Prices (which means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the holder (i.e. Bloomberg) for the common stock during the fifteen (15) Trading Day Period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the date of conversion (both terms as defined in the Certificate of Designations).

The Series C Convertible Preferred stock is convertible after six months at 71% of the average market price of the Company’s stock based on the lowest two (2) market closes fifteen (15) days prior. Consequently, the shares were converted at different rates. The Company assessed the conversion feature and determined it was required to be bifurcated and recognized as a derivative liability. Three (3) batches of Preferred stock were subject to derivative liability valuation based on the Black Scholes Merton pricing model. As the fair value of each of the three (3) derivative and the shares issued at inception were in excess of the face amount of the Preferred stock, the Company recorded a discount in the amount of $35,000 to be amortized utilizing the effective interest method of accretion over the term of the note.

On the date which is eighteen (18) months following the Issuance Date or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Company shall redeem all of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the holder (which have not been previously redeemed or converted). Within five (5) days of the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall make payment to each holder of an amount in cash equal to the total number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder multiplied by the then current Stated Value.

All shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock have been presented outside of permanent equity in accordance with ASC 480, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company accretes the carrying value of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimate of fair value (i.e., redemption value) at period end.

The carrying value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 was $15,728 and $59,478 net of discount, respectively. There were 0 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued for net proceeds of $0, and 0 shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted to 0 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The conversion rates of the convertible notes and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible at a variable rate. Accordingly, the Company concluded there is an embedded derivative which was required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company chose to use the Black Scholes model to calculate the derivative liability. The assumptions in the derivative liability calculation included the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.0141 at the valuation date, term of zero, a risk-free rate of between $0.0010 and $0.0011 and a volatility rate of between 150% and 341%. The Company has recorded the embedded derivative liability at its’ fair value utilizing the Black Scholes Merton option pricing model, as follows:

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Total

Derivative liability

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the Company’s estimate are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.

The Company has estimated its effective tax rate to be 0%, based primarily on losses incurred and the uncertainty of realization of the tax benefit of such losses.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has reviewed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2022 to the date these financial statements were issued. Between March 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, other than as described in “Recent Developments” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report, there were no subsequent events.

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

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Overview

SmartMetric, Inc. is a company engaged in the development and manufacture of biometric fingerprint activated credit and debit cards. SmartMetric’s founder and product inventor Chaya Hendrick, has secured issued patents covering the biometric credit and debit card fingerprint activated invention. In addition, SmartMetric holds the license to issued patents covering features of its biometric fingerprint activated cards. SmartMetric’s main product under development is a fingerprint sensor activated credit/debit card with a finger sensor and fully functional fingerprint reader embedded inside the card. The cards have a rechargeable battery allowing for portable biometric identification and card activation. These cards are herein sometimes referred to as a biometric card or the SmartMetric Biometric card.

SmartMetric has created earlier versions of its credit/debit biometric fingerprint activated credit card. The latest version, designed to be compliant with the requests of a major global payments network, is now in the final stages of development so that it can be presented to the network and various card issuing banks.

To date, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts and financial resources to the development of our biometric card. Since our inception in 2002, we have generated no revenue from product sales and have funded our operations principally through the private sales of our equity securities. We have never been profitable and, as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $31,478,445 and $30,496,043, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our technologies and advance them to market.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2023, was approximately $35,522, representing 83% of total assets. Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures and capital raises, we expect to be able to fund our operations into 2024. This period could be shortened if there are any significant increases in spending that were not anticipated or other unforeseen events.

We anticipate raising additional cash through the private or public sales of equity or debt securities to continue to fund our operations and the development of our technologies. There is no assurance that financing will be available to us when needed in order to allow us to continue our operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise sufficient funds in a timely manner, we may be forced to curtail operations, delay or stop our ongoing clinical trials, cease operations altogether, or file for bankruptcy. We currently do not have commitments for future funding from any source.

Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses of $982,402 and $1,410,088 for the nine-month periods ending March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, and has incurred a cumulative loss of $31,478,445 and $30,496,043 as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022. The Company is currently in the development stage and has spent a substantial portion of its time in the development of its technology.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern beyond calendar year 2024. The Company maintains sufficient cash to continue as a going concern throughout all of calendar year 2024.

Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include the final phase of development and mass production being successful as well as product implementation and distribution.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

All of the Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements, included above in this Quarterly Report. We have identified the following as our significant accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs. Due to the small size of the Company’s research & development staff as well as the lack of any long term research and development-related contracts, we do not believe that the use of this critical accounting estimate will have a material impact on the results of financial operations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Our results of operations have varied significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter and may vary significantly in the future. We did not have revenue for the three months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and net income (attributable to common shareholders) for March 31, 2022, was $310,740 and $14,257, respectively, resulting from the operational activities described below.

Operating Expenses

Operating expense totaled 187,023 and $284,202 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses is the result of lower consulting expenses and legal expenses.

	Quarter Ended March 31,				Change in 2023 Versus 2022
	2023		2022		$			%
Operating expense
Officer salary	$	47,500	$	47,500	$	-0-			-0-	%

Total operating expense	$	187,023	$	284,202	$	(97,179	)		(34	)%

Research and Development

Research and development expenses totaled $31,807 and $44,551 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $12,744, or 29%, in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily attributable to decreased engineering expenses . Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to engineering.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses totaled $47,308 and $192,151 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $144,843, or 75%, in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily the result of a decrease in consulting and legal expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to employee compensation, legal, accounting and tax, other professional services, and general operating expenses.

Other Expense

Other income (expense) totaled ($123,717) and $304,246 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

	Quarter Ended March 31,						Change in 2023 Versus 2022
	2023			2022			$			%
Gain (loss) on change in derivatives		-0-			-0-		$	-0-			(-	)

Interest income (expense)

We had net interest expense of ($18,079) in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to ($22,673) net interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of $4,594 was attributable to lower interest on deferred officer salary.

Gain (loss) on change in derivatives

We had a gain (loss) on change in derivatives of $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a $326,919 gain on change in derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Gain on PPP loan forgiveness

We recognized $0 on the forgiveness of a PPP loan during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since our inception as a result of significant expenditures for operations and research and development and the lack of any revenue. We have an accumulated deficit of $31,478,445 as of March 31, 2023, and anticipate that we will continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. Through March 31, 2023, we have funded our operations through the private sale of our equity securities and exercises of options and warrants, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $287 million from inception through March 31, 2023.

	Nine Months Ended December 31,						Change in 2023 Versus 2022
	2023			2022			$			%
Cash at beginning of period	$	126,791		$	10,325		$	116,466			1128.0	%

Cash at end of period	$	35,522		$	306,730		$	(271,208	)		(88	)%

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $397,171 and $812,852 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $415,681 in cash used during 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in proceeds from private placements, loss from conversion of notes to shares, offset by change in fair value of derivative liability.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $24,243 and $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $330,146, compared to $1,109,257 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of $779,111 was due to lower sales of the Company’s securities in private placements. We continue to seek funding through private placement sales of equity to fund our continued operations, sales and marketing and ongoing research and development programs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are not required to provide the information required by this item as we are considered a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our 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 connection with the preparation of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on Controls

Management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions are being performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties in all of our financially significant processes and have concluded that this control deficiency represented a material weakness. We plan to remediate this weakness over the next 12 months.

Consequently, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
