VICTORY OILFIELD TECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and nature of operations
Victory Oilfield Tech, Inc. (“Victory”), a Nevada corporation, is an oilfield technology products company offering patented oil and gas drilling products designed to improve well performance and extend the lifespan of the industry’s most sophisticated and expensive equipment. On July 31, 2018, Victory entered into an agreement to acquire Pro-Tech Hardbanding Services, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“Pro-Tech”), which provides various hardbanding solutions to oilfield operators for drill pipe, weight pipe, tubing and drill collars.
Pending Merger
On July 25, 2023, Victory and Victory H2EG Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Victory (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with H2 Energy Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“H2EG”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub agreed to merge with and into H2EG, which will survive in the merger and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory.
See Note 11 Subsequent Events for further information.
Additionally, within 30 days of the closing of the Merger Agreement, Victory has agreed to enter a definitive agreement with its affiliate, Visionary Private Equity Group I, LP (“Visionary”), in which it will transfer ownership of Pro-Tech Hardbanding Services, Inc. (“Pro-Tech”) to Visionary in exchange for the conversion of certain convertible notes that Victory has issued to Visionary. See Note 11 Subsequent Events for further information.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Victory and Pro-Tech, its wholly owned subsidiary, for all periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts between Victory and Pro-Tech (together, the “Company”) have been eliminated.
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contained herein includes all normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any future periods.
Going Concern
Historically the Company has experienced, and continues to experience, net losses, net losses from operations, negative cash flow from operating activities and working capital deficits. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $(99,347,031) through June 30, 2023, and has a working capital deficit of $(3,966,290) at June 30, 2023. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
5
The Company anticipates that operating losses will continue in the near term as management integrates the operations of H2EG. The Company intends to meet near-term obligations with private placement offerings along with cash flow generated by Pro-Tech Hardbanding as it seeks to increase positive cash flow from operations.
In addition to increasing cash flow from operations, we will be required to obtain other liquidity resources in order to support ongoing operations. We are addressing this need by developing additional capital sources, which we believe will enable us to execute our recapitalization and growth plan. This plan includes the operations of H2EG which are primarily the use of proprietary technology to produce low-cost Green Hydrogen from a wide variety of biomass sources.
Based upon anticipated new sources of capital, we believe we will have enough capital to cover expenses through at least the next twelve months. We will continue to monitor liquidity carefully. In the event we do not have enough capital to cover expenses, we will make the necessary and appropriate reductions in spending to remain cash flow positive. While management believes our plans help mitigate the substantial doubt that we are a going concern, there is no guarantee that our plans will be successful or if they are, will fully alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt that we are a going concern.
Capital Resources
As of the date of this report and for the foreseeable future, the Company expects to cover operating shortfalls, if any, with new sources of funding while we enact our strategy to produce low-cost Green Hydrogen from sustainable and renewable woody biomass. As of the date of this report, the remaining amount available for the Company for additional borrowings on the New VPEG Note was $184,074.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Fair Value
Financial Accounting Standard Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, established a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value. This framework defined three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process and requires that each fair value measurement be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three broad levels of inputs defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Leve1 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Leve1 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Leve1 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data).
Receivables are carried at amounts that approximate fair value. Receivables are recognized net of an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial asset, based on historical experience current conditions and reasonable forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written down or off when a portion or all of such account receivable is determined to be uncollectible.
6
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments such as accounts receivable and payables approximated their fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of short-term notes and advances approximated their fair values because the underlying interest rates approximated market rates at the balance sheet dates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from contracts with customers (ASC 606) as it satisfies contractual performance obligations by transferring promised goods or services to the customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service.
The Company has one revenue stream, which relates to the provision of hardbanding services by its subsidiary Pro-Tech. All performance obligations of the Company’s contracts with customers are satisfied over the duration of the contract as customer-owned equipment is serviced and then made available for immediate use as completed during the service period. The Company has reviewed its contracts with Pro-Tech customers and determined that due to their short-term nature, with durations of several days of service at the customer’s location, it is only those contracts that occur near the end of a financial reporting period that will potentially require allocation to ensure revenue is recognized in the proper period. The Company has reviewed all such transactions and recorded revenue accordingly.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, all of the Company’s revenue was recognized from contracts with oilfield operators. See Note 9 Segment and Geographic Information and Revenue Disaggregation for further information.
Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.
Concentration of Credit Risk, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents placed with high credit quality institutions and accounts receivable due from Pro-Tech’s customers. Management evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. If management becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations after a sale has occurred, the Company records an allowance to reduce the net receivable to the amount that it reasonably believes to be collectable from the customer. Accounts receivable are written off at the point they are considered uncollectible. An allowance of $0 and $0 has been recorded at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company suffered no bad debt losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. If the financial conditions of Pro-Tech’s customers were to deteriorate or if general economic conditions were to worsen, additional allowances may be required in the future.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, three customers comprised 52% and 78% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, four and three customers comprised 60% and 72% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, three and three customers comprised 52% and 61% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and the costs of additions and betterments that increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment is disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and any gain or loss is included in Other income/(expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
7
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, as follows:
Asset category | Useful Life | |
Welding equipment, Trucks, Machinery and equipment | 5 years | |
Office equipment | 5 - 7 years | |
Computer hardware and software | 7 years |
See Note 3, Property, Plant and Equipment, for further information.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and if applicable, impairment charges. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets is provided over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis or the pattern in which economic benefits are consumed, if reliably determinable. The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The Company performs an impairment test of goodwill annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company has determined that it is comprised of one reporting unit at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the goodwill balances of $145,149 are included in the single reporting unit. The carrying value of the single reporting unit is negative. To date, an impairment of goodwill has not been recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company bypassed the qualitative assessment, and proceeded directly to the quantitative test for goodwill impairment.
The Company’s Goodwill balance consists of the amount recognized in connection with the acquisition of Pro-Tech. The Company’s other intangible assets are comprised of contract-based and marketing-related intangible assets, as well as acquisition-related intangibles. Acquisition-related intangibles include the value of Pro-Tech’s trademark and customer relationships, both of which are being amortized over their expected useful lives of 10 years beginning August 2018.
PPP Loans
The Company accounts as debt any portion of loans issued pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the U.S. Small Business Administration which are not subject to forgiveness. See Note 5, Notes Payable for further information.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company from time to time may issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock as compensation to employees, directors, officers and affiliates, as well as to acquire goods or services from third parties. In all cases, the Company calculates share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expenses awards based on fair value at the grant date on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In the case of third-party suppliers, the service period is the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. For employees, directors, officers and affiliates, the service period is typically the vesting period. Share-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6, Stockholders’ Equity, for further information.
8
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets, if any, include tax loss and credit carry forwards and are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding was 28,037,713 and 28,037,713, respectively, at June 30, 2023 and 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average number of shares of common stock has been adjusted to reflect the potential dilutive effects of the Company’s Preferred Series D Stock and outstanding convertible promissory notes. See Note 10, Earnings (Loss) Per Share, for further information. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilutive effects of common stock equivalents such as options, warrants and convertible securities. Given the historical and projected future losses of the Company, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, and has since issued various amendments including ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04, and ASU No. 2019-05. The guidance and related amendments modify the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and require the use of an expected loss model, replacing the currently used incurred loss method. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The Company adopted ASU-2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

5. Notes Payable
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
On February 1, 2021, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $98,622 pursuant to a second draw loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The unsecured loan (the “Second PPP Loan”) is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Second PPP Note”) issued by the Company, dated January 28, 2021, in the principal amount of $98,622 with Arvest Bank.
As of April 18, 2023, the Company received notice from Arvest Bank and the SBA that $92,653 of the $98,622 amount of the Second PPP Loan had been forgiven. The amount forgiven, including principal of $92,653 and accrued interest has been recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has recorded the remaining principal balance of $5,969 as debt, and it will record interest expense on the outstanding balance at a rate of one percent per annum until all principal and interest has been repaid.
Under the terms of the Second PPP Note and the PPP, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 1.0% per annum with a deferral of payments for the first 10 months. The term of the Second PPP Note is five years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the Second PPP Note. The Company is obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning after a ten-month deferral period provided in the Second PPP Note and through January 28, 2026.
The Second PPP Note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty. The Second PPP Note provides for certain customary events of default, including the Company’s: (i) failure to make a payment when due; (ii) breach of the note terms; (iii) default on any other loan with the Lender; (iv) filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Company; (v) reorganization merger, consolidation or other change in ownership or business structure without the Lender’s prior written consent; (vi) adverse change in financial condition or business operation that the Lender believes may affect the Company’s ability to pay the Second PPP Note; and (vii) default on any loan or agreement with another creditor, if the Lender believes the default may materially affect the Company’s ability to pay the Second PPP Note. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender has customary remedies and may, among other things, require immediate payment of all amounts owed under the Second PPP Note, collect all amounts owing from the Company and file suit and obtain judgment against the Company.

The foregoing description of the Second PPP Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second PPP Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2020.
Economic Injury Disaster Loan
Additionally, on June 15, 2020, the Company received $150,000 in loan funding from the SBA under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program administered by the SBA, which was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act.

Under the terms of the EIDL Note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of the EIDL Note is 30 years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under the EIDL Note. Under the EIDL Note, the Company is obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning in December 2022 through the maturity date of June 11, 2050. The EIDL Note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty.

The Company recorded interest expense of $2,828 and $3,324 related to the EIDL Note for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The EIDL Note provides for certain customary events of default, including: (i) a failure to comply with any provision of the EIDL Note, the related Loan Authorization and Agreement, or other EIDL loan documents; (ii) a default on any other SBA loan; (iii) a sale or transfer of, or failure to preserve or account to SBA’s satisfaction for, any of the collateral or its proceeds; (iv) a failure of the Company or anyone acting on its behalf to disclose any material fact to SBA; (v) the making of a materially false or misleading representation to SBA by the Company or anyone acting on their behalf; (vi) a default on any loan or agreement with another creditor, if SBA believes the default may materially affect the Company’s ability to pay the EIDL Note; (vii) a failure to pay any taxes when due; (viii) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; (ix) if a receiver or liquidator is appointed for any part of the Company’s business or property; (x) the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (xi) has any adverse change in financial condition or business operation that SBA believes may materially affect the Company’s ability to pay the EIDL Note; (xii) effects any reorganization, merger, consolidation, or other transaction changing ownership or business structure without SBA’s prior written consent; or (xiii) becomes the subject of a civil or criminal action that SBA believes may materially affect the Company’s ability to pay the EIDL Note. The foregoing description of the EIDL Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the EIDL Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2020.

Settlement Agreement
On August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a secured convertible original issue discount promissory note issued by the Company to VPEG (the “VPEG Note”). The VPEG Note was subsequently amended on October 11, 2017 and again on January 17, 2018. On April 10, 2018, the Company and Visionary Private Equity Group I, LP, a Missouri limited partnership (“VPEG”) entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which VPEG agreed to release and discharge the Company from its obligations under the VPEG Note (see below). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, and in consideration and full satisfaction of the outstanding indebtedness of $1,410,200 under the VPEG Note, the Company issued to VPEG 1,880,267 shares of its common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase 1,880,267 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, to be reduced to the extent the actual price per share in a proposed future private placement (the “Proposed Private Placement”) is less than $0.75.

9. Segment and Geographic Information and Revenue Disaggregation
The Company has one reportable segment as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: Hardband Services. Hardband Services provides various hardbanding solutions to oilfield operators for drill pipe, weight pipe, tubing and drill collars. All Hardband Services revenue is generated in the United States, and all assets related to Hardband Services are located in the United States. Because the Company operates with only one reportable segment in one geographical area, there is no supplementary revenue or asset information to present.
13
To provide users of the financial statements with information depicting how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors, we have disaggregated revenue by customer, with customers representing more than five percent of total annual revenues comprising the first category, and those representing less than five percent of total annual revenues comprising the second category.

10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is similarly calculated, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. All potentially dilutive shares, approximately 9,049,000 and 8,903,000 of potentially dilutive shares for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, have been excluded from diluted loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the periods then ended. Basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding was 28,037,713 and 28,037,713 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding was 28,037,713 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding was 37,087,154 and 36,941,221 for the three months ended June 20, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The following table sets forth the computation of net loss per share of common stock – basic and diluted:

14
11. Other Income
The Company reported other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $95,745. This amount is primarily attributable to forgiveness of the Second PPP Loan. Other income of $106,000 which the Company reported for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to refunds of federal payroll taxes as a result of provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (2020) and the Coronavirus Response and Consolidated Appropriations Act (2021).
12. Subsequent Events
On July 25, 2023, Victory and Merger Sub entered into a “Merger Agreement” with “H2EG”. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub agreed to merge with and into H2EG, which will survive in the Merger and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Victory.
The Merger consideration to be paid by the Victory will consist of shares of Victory’s Common Stock, equal to 70% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Victory on a fully diluted basis.
The Merger Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the completion of accounting and legal due diligence investigations; the receipt of all authorizations and consents; the release of any security interests; the Company obtaining the requisite acquisition financing; conversion of all outstanding securities, notes, or other agreements or commitments which are convertible into securities of both the Company and H2EG, subject to exclusions within the Merger Agreement, and delivery of all opinions and documents required for the transfer of the equity interests of the Victory to H2EG’s shareholders.
Additionally, within 30 days of the Closing, the Company has agreed to enter a definitive agreement with its affiliate, Visionary Private Equity Group I, LP (“Visionary”), in which it will transfer ownership of Pro-Tech Hardbanding Services, Inc. (“Pro-Tech”) to Visionary in exchange for the conversion of certain convertible notes that the Company issued to Visionary.
During the period of July 1, 2023 through August 14, 2023 the Company received additional loan proceeds of $21,000 from VPEG pursuant to the New VPEG Note. During the period of July 1, 2023 through August [*], 2023 the Company received additional loan proceeds of $0 pursuant to the Arvest Loan. See Note 5, Notes Payable, for further information.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand Victory Oilfield Tech, Inc. MD&A is presented in the following seven sections:
● | Cautionary Information about Forward-Looking Statements; |
● | Business Overview; |
● | Results of Operations; |
● | Liquidity and Capital Resources; |
● | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates; |
● | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards; and |
● | Recently Issued Accounting Standards. |
MD&A summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow as of and for the periods presented below and is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Items 7 and 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In MD&A, we use “we,” “our,” “us,” “Victory” and “the Company” to refer to Victory Oilfield Tech. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, unless the context requires otherwise. Amounts and percentages in tables may not total due to rounding. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. We caution readers that important facts and factors described in MD&A and elsewhere in this document sometimes have affected, and in the future could affect our actual results, and could cause our actual results during the remainder of 2023 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us.
As reported in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements, we have suffered recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
16
Cautionary Information about Forward-Looking Statements
Many statements made in the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws and should be evaluated as such. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business plan, strategies and capital structure. In particular, the words “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast,” variations of such words, and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. We base these forward-looking statements or projections on our current expectations, plans and assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry, as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances and at such time. As you read and consider this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. The forward-looking statements and projections are subject to and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements or projections. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements and projections are based on reasonable assumptions at the time they are made, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements and projections. Factors that may materially affect such forward-looking statements and projections include:
● | continued operating losses; |
● | adverse developments in economic conditions and, particularly, in conditions in the oil and gas industries; |
● | volatility in the capital, credit and commodities markets; |
● | our inability to successfully execute on our growth strategy; |
● | the competitive nature of our industry; |
● | credit risk exposure from our customers; |
● | price increases or business interruptions in our supply of raw materials; |

Market Conditions
Our financial results depend on many factors, including commodity prices and the ability of our customers to market their production on economically attractive terms. Commodity prices are affected by many factors outside of our control, including changes in market supply and demand, which are impacted by pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, basis differentials, weather conditions and other factors.
Factors Affecting our Operating Results
The following discussion sets forth certain components of our statements of operations as well as factors that impact those items.
Total revenue
We generate revenue from hardbanding solutions to oilfield operators for drill pipe, weight pipe, tubing and drill collars and grinding services.
Our revenues are generally impacted by the following factors:
● | our ability to successfully develop and launch new solutions and services |
● | changes in buying habits of our customers |
● | changes in the level of competition faced by our products |
● | domestic drilling activity and spending by the oil and natural gas industry in the United States |
Total cost of revenue
The costs associated with generating our revenue fluctuate as a result of changes in sales volumes, average selling prices, product mix, and changes in the price of raw materials and consist primarily of the following:
● | hardbanding production materials purchases |
● | hardbanding supplies |
● | labor |
● | depreciation expense for hardbanding equipment |
● | field expenses |
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
Our selling, general and administrative expense consists of all expenditures incurred in connection with the sales and marketing of our products, as well as administrative overhead costs, including:
● | compensation and benefit costs for management, sales personnel and administrative staff, which includes share-based compensation expense |
● | rent expense, communications expense, and maintenance and repair costs |
● | legal fees, accounting fees, consulting fees and insurance expenses. |
20
These expenses are not expected to materially increase or decrease directly with changes in total revenue.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, net of depreciation of hardbanding equipment which is reported in Total cost of revenue
Interest expense
Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense and loan fees on borrowings, amortization of debt issuance costs, and debt discounts associated with our indebtedness.
Other income/(expense), net
Other income/(expense), net represents costs incurred, net of income, from various non-operating items including costs incurred in conjunction with our debt refinancing and extinguishment transactions, interest income, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets, as well as non-operational gains and losses unrelated to our core business.
Income tax benefit (provision)
We are subject to income tax in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. While the extent of our future tax liability is uncertain, our operating results, the availability of any net operating loss carryforwards, any future business combinations, and changes to tax laws and regulations are key factors that will determine our future book and taxable income.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our historical results of operations summarized and analyzed below may not necessarily reflect what will occur in the future.

Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $33,857, or 10%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of accounting and audit fees related to fiscal 2022 audit. Increases in legal costs were partially offset by decreases in payroll and payroll taxes.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $390, or 7%, in the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to fixed assets that became fully depreciated during the 2023 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Going Concern
Historically we have experienced, and we continue to experience, net losses, net losses from operations, negative cash flow from operating activities, and working capital deficits. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
We anticipate that operating losses will continue in the near term as we integrate the operations of H2EG. We intend to meet near-term obligations with private placement offerings along with cash flow generated by Pro-Tech Hardbanding as we seek to increase positive cash flow from operations.
In addition to increasing cash flow from operations, we will be required to obtain other liquidity resources in order to support ongoing operations. We are addressing this need by developing additional capital sources, which we believe will enable us to execute our recapitalization and growth plan. This plan includes the operations of H2EG which are primarily the use of proprietary technology to produce low-cost Green Hydrogen from a wide variety of biomass sources.
Based upon anticipated new sources of capital, we believe we will have enough capital to cover expenses through at least the next twelve months. We will continue to monitor liquidity carefully. In the event we do not have enough capital to cover expenses, we will make the necessary and appropriate reductions in spending to remain cash flow positive. While management believes our plans help mitigate the substantial doubt that we are a going concern, there is no guarantee that our plans will be successful or if they are, will fully alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt that we are a going concern.
Material Cash Requirements
Our material short-term cash requirements include recurring payroll and benefits obligations for our employees, capital and operating expenditures and other working capital needs. Working capital, defined as total current assets less total current liabilities, fluctuates depending on borrowing as well as effective management of receivables from our purchasers and payables to our vendors. We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures during the twelve months following June 30, 2023. We believe that material cash requirements for operating expenditures in excess of cash provided by operations may range from $0 per month to $20,000 per month during the twelve months following June 30, 2023.
24
Our long-term material cash requirements from currently known obligations consist of repayment of outstanding borrowings and interest payment obligations.
The following table summarizes our estimated material cash requirements for known obligations as of August 14, 2023. This table does not include amounts payable under obligations where we cannot forecast with certainty the amount and timing of such payments. The following table does not include any cash requirements related to our office space in Texas or the Pro-Tech facility in Oklahoma because the office space in Texas is leased on a month-to-month basis, and the lease agreement for the Pro-Tech facility in Oklahoma is cancellable at any time by giving notice of 90 days.

We believe it will be necessary to obtain additional liquidity resources to satisfy our material cash requirements. We are addressing our liquidity needs by seeking to generate positive cash flows from operations and developing additional backup capital sources.
Capital Resources
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and for the foreseeable future, we expect to cover operating shortfalls, if any, with new sources of funding while we enact our strategy to produce low cost Green Hydrogen from sustainable and renewable woody biomass. As of the date of this report, the remaining amount available for additional borrowings on the New VPEG Note was $152,074.
Paycheck Protection Program Loans
On February 1, 2021, we received loan proceeds in the amount of $98,622 pursuant to a second draw loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The unsecured loan (the “Second PPP Loan”) is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Second PPP Note”) issued by us, dated January 28, 2021, in the principal amount of $98,622 with Arvest Bank.
As of April 18, 2023, we received notice from Arvest Bank and the SBA that $92,653 of the $98,622 amount of the Second PPP Loan had been forgiven. The amount forgiven, including principal of $92,653 and accrued interest has been recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of operations. We have recorded the remaining principal balance of $5,969 as debt, and we will record interest expense on the outstanding balance at a rate of one percent per annum until all principal and interest has been repaid.
Under the terms of the Second PPP Note and the PPP, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 1.0% per annum with a deferral of payments for the first 10 months. The term of the Second PPP Note is five years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the Second PPP Note. To the extent the amount of the Second PPP Loan is not forgiven under the PPP, we will be obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning after a 10-month deferral period provided in the Second PPP Note and through January 28, 2026.
The Second PPP Note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty. The Second PPP Note provides for certain customary events of default, including our: (i) failure to make a payment when due; (ii) breach of the note terms; (iii) default on any other loan with the Lender; (iv) filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against us; (v) reorganization merger, consolidation or other change in ownership or business structure without the Lender’s prior written consent; (vi) adverse change in financial condition or business operation that the Lender believes may affect our ability to pay the Second PPP Note; and (vii) default on any loan or agreement with another creditor, if the Lender believes the default may materially affect our ability to pay the Second PPP Note. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender has customary remedies and may, among other things, require immediate payment of all amounts owed under the Second PPP Note, collect all amounts owing from us and file suit and obtain judgment against us.
25
The foregoing description of the Second PPP Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second PPP Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2020.
Economic Injury Disaster Loan
Additionally, on June 15, 2020, we received $150,000 in loan funding from the SBA under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program administered by the SBA, which was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a promissory note, dated June 11, 2020 (the “EIDL Note”) in the original principal amount of $150,000 with the SBA, the lender.
Under the terms of the EIDL Note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of the EIDL Note is 30 years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under the EIDL Note. Under the EIDL Note, we are obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning December, 2021 through the maturity date of June 11, 2050. The EIDL Note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty.
We made interest-only payments of $2,924 and $731 on the EIDL Note during the three months ended June, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We made interest-only payments of $5,117 and $2,193 on the EIDL Note during the six months ended June, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The EIDL Note provides for certain customary events of default, including: (i) a failure to comply with any provision of the EIDL Note, the related Loan Authorization and Agreement, or other EIDL loan documents; (ii) a default on any other SBA loan; (iii) a sale or transfer of, or failure to preserve or account to SBA’s satisfaction for, any of the collateral or its proceeds; (iv) a failure of us or anyone acting on its behalf to disclose any material fact to SBA; (v) the making of a materially false or misleading representation to SBA by us or anyone acting on our behalf; (vi) a default on any loan or agreement with another creditor, if SBA believes the default may materially affect our ability to pay the EIDL Note; (vii) a failure to pay any taxes when due; (viii) if we become the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; (ix) if a receiver or liquidator is appointed for any part of our business or property; (x) the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (xi) has any adverse change in financial condition or business operation that SBA believes may materially affect our ability to pay the EIDL Note; (xii) effects any reorganization, merger, consolidation, or other transaction changing ownership or business structure without SBA’s prior written consent; or (xiii) becomes the subject of a civil or criminal action that SBA believes may materially affect our ability to pay the EIDL Note. The foregoing description of the EIDL Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the EIDL Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2020.
New VPEG Note
See Note 8, Related Party Transactions, to the consolidated financial statements for a definition and description of the New VPEG Note. The outstanding balance on the New VPEG Note was $3,815,926 as of June 30, 2023 and $3,717,476 as of December 31, 2022.
We recorded interest expense of $8,950 and $6,500 related to the New VPEG Note for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $8,950 and $14,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Vehicle Loan
On June 14, 2022, our wholly-owned subsidiary Pro-Tech Hardbanding Services, Inc. entered into a Promissory Note and Security Agreement in the amount of $31,437.60 with Arvest Bank for a vehicle loan (the “Vehicle Loan”). The Vehicle Loan, which is secured by the vehicle, is repayable over five years, matures June 15, 2027, and is repayable at the rate of $586.23 per month including principal and interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. The monthly payments began on July 15, 2022. The remaining balance of the Vehicle Loan was $25,659 and $31,438 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
26
Arvest Loan
On July 11, 2022, Pro-Tech, our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Promissory Note and Security Agreement with Arvest Bank for a revolving loan for up to $30,000 (the “Arvest Loan”). The Arvest Loan matures on July 11, 2023 and bears interest at 5.5% per annum, subject to change in accordance with the Variable Rate (as defined in the Promissory Note and Security Agreement), the calculation for which is the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.75%. Pursuant to the terms of the Arvest Loan, Pro-Tech is required to make monthly payments beginning on August 11, 2022 and until the maturity date, at which time all unpaid principal and interest will be due. Pro-Tech may prepay the loan in full or in part at any time without penalty. The Arvest Loan contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for a loan of this type. The Arvest Loan is secured by Pro-Tech’s inventory and equipment, accounts and other rights of payments, and general intangibles, as such terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we borrowed $20,000 and $0, respectively, pursuant to the Arvest Loan. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Pro-Tech had balances of $30,000 and $10,000, respectively, on the credit line.
We made no principal or interest payments on the Arvest Loan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We recorded interest expense of $498 and $0 related to the Arvest Loan for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $712 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cash Flow
The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (107,304 | ) | $ | (125,286 | ) | ||
Net cash used in investing activities | - | (70,993 | ) | |||||
Net cash provided by financing activities | 106,331 | 173,438 | ||||||
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | (973 | ) | (22,841 | ) | ||||
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | 73,636 | 52,908 | ||||||
Cash and cash equivalent at end of period | $ | 72,663 | $ | 30,067 |
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $107,304. Net loss adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization) used cash of $105,704. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $1,600. The most significant uses of cash were increases in accounts receivable and decreases in prepaids and other current assets. These changes were offset by cash provided by a decrease in inventory and increases in accounts payable and accrued and other short-term liabilities.
This compares to net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $125,286. Net loss adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization) provided cash of $21,186. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $146,472. The most significant uses of cash were increases in accounts receivable due to timing of collections, and prepaids and other current assets. These changes were partially offset by cash provided by increases in accounts payable and accrued and other short-term liabilities and a decrease in inventory.
No cash was provided by or used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $70,993 resulting from fixed asset purchases.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $106,331 and resulted from debt financing proceeds from the New VPEG Note of $89,500, debt financing proceeds from Arvest Bank of $20,000, net of vehicle loan repayments of $3169. This compares to $173,438 in net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulting from debt financing proceeds from affiliates and a new vehicle loan.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue as it satisfies contractual performance obligations by transferring promised goods or services to the customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service.
We have one revenue stream, which relates to the provision of hardbanding services by its subsidiary Pro-Tech. All performance obligations of our contracts with customers are satisfied over the duration of the contract as customer-owned equipment is serviced and then made available for immediate use as completed during the service period. We have reviewed our contracts with Pro-Tech customers and determined that due to their short-term nature, with durations of several days of service at the customer’s location, it is only those contracts that occur near the end of a financial reporting period that will potentially require allocation to ensure revenue is recognized in the proper period. We have reviewed all such transactions and recorded revenue accordingly.
For the six months ended June, 2023 and 2022, all of our revenue was recognized from contracts with oilfield operators, and we did not recognize impairment losses on any receivables or contract assets.
Because our contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, we have elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.
Concentration of Credit Risk, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents placed with high credit quality institutions and accounts receivable due from Pro-Tech’s customers. Management evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. If management becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations after a sale has occurred, we record an allowance to reduce the net receivable to the amount that it reasonably believes to be collectable from the customer. Accounts receivable are written off at the point they are considered uncollectible. An allowance of $0 and $0 has been recorded at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We suffered no bad debt losses in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. If the financial conditions of Pro-Tech’s customers were to deteriorate or if general economic conditions were to worsen, additional allowances may be required in the future.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, three customers comprised 52% and 78% of our gross accounts receivable, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, four and three customers comprised 60% and 72% of our total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, three and three customers comprised 52% and 61% of our total revenue, respectively.
28
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and the costs of additions and betterments that increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment is disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and any gain or loss is included in Other income/(expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, as follows:
Asset category | Useful Life | |
Welding equipment, Trucks, Machinery and equipment | 5 years | |
Office equipment | 5 - 7 years | |
Computer hardware and software | 7 years |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and if applicable, impairment charges. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets is provided over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis or the pattern in which economic benefits are consumed, if reliably determinable. We review our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
We perform an impairment test of goodwill annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We have determined that we are comprised of one reporting unit at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the goodwill balances of $145,149 at the end of each period are included in the single reporting unit. To date, an impairment of goodwill has not been recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we bypassed the qualitative assessment, and proceeded directly to the quantitative test for goodwill impairment.
Our Goodwill balance consists of the amount recognized in connection with the acquisition of Pro-Tech. Our other intangible assets are comprised of contract-based and marketing-related intangible assets, as well as acquisition-related intangibles. Acquisition-related intangibles include the value of Pro-Tech’s trademark and customer relationships, both of which are being amortized over their expected useful lives of 10 years beginning August 2018.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date in our consolidated financial statements. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
29
Share-Based Compensation
From time to time, we may issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock as compensation to employees, directors, officers and affiliates, as well as to acquire goods or services from third parties. In all cases, we calculate share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expenses awards based on fair value at the grant date on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In the case of third-party suppliers, the service period is the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. For employees, directors, officers and affiliates, the service period is typically the vesting period. Share-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6, Stockholder’s Equity, to the consolidated financial statements, for further information.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets, if any, include tax loss and credit carry forwards and are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding was 28,037,713 and 28,037,713, respectively, at June 30, 2023 and 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average number of shares of common stock has been adjusted to reflect the potential dilutive effects of our Preferred Series D Stock and outstanding convertible promissory notes. See Note 10, Earnings (Loss) Per Share, to the consolidated financial statements, for further information. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilutive effects of common stock equivalents such as options, warrants and convertible securities. Given our historical and projected future losses, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, and has since issued various amendments including ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04, and ASU No. 2019-05. The guidance and related amendments modify the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and require the use of an expected loss model, replacing the currently used incurred loss method. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. We adopted ASU-2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Discussions about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer determined that, because of the material weakness described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which we are still in the process of remediating as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
During the evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, our management identified the following material weaknesses:
● | We lack sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represents a material weakness. |
● | We believe we lack sufficient training and oversight with respect to potential cyber security risks. We are not aware of any breaches of our information systems, nor any theft, loss, or unwanted exposure of data contained within our information systems; however, due to the risk that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis as a result of this control deficiency, our management has concluded that the control deficiency represents a material weakness. |
31
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and through the date of this report, we continued to assess and implement remedial procedures. In order to cure the foregoing material weaknesses, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions are performed by separate individuals to the extent possible. In addition, we will look to hire additional personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our current accounting personnel. As necessary, we will continue to engage consultants or outside accounting firms in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements. We intend to implement additional preventive and detective controls, including establishment of new procedures for oversight over cyber security by our Board of Directors, employee cyber security training, and implementation of new risk assessment and incident response protocols.
We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable, but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Except for the matters described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
