NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(UNAUDITED)
| 1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Organization and Nature of Operations
Cardiff Lexington Corporation (“Cardiff”) was originally incorporated on September 3, 1986 in Colorado as Cardiff International Inc. On November 10, 2005, Cardiff merged with Legacy Card Company, LLC and changed its name to Cardiff Lexington Corporation. On August 27, 2014, Cardiff redomiciled and became a corporation under the laws of Florida. On April 13, 2021, Cardiff redomiciled and became a corporation under the laws of Nevada.
Cardiff is an acquisition holding company focused on locating undervalued and undercapitalized companies, primarily in the healthcare industry, and providing them capitalization and leadership to maximize the value and potential of their private enterprises while also providing diversification and risk mitigation for stockholders. All of Cardiff’s operations are predominantly conducted through, and its income derived from, its Nova Ortho and Spine, LLC (“Nova”) subsidiary. Its subsidiaries include:
| · | Nova, which was acquired on May 31, 2021; | |
| · | Edge View Properties, Inc. (“Edge View”), which was acquired on July 16, 2014; and | |
| · | Platinum Tax Defenders (“Platinum Tax”), which was acquired on July 31, 2018 and sold on November 10, 2023. As a result, Platinum Tax is presented as a discontinued operation. |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardiff and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Nova, Edge View, and Platinum Tax and (collectively, the “Company”). Subsidiaries shown as discontinued operations include Platinum Tax. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts and items have been reclassified in the prior year presentation in the consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation in these financial statements.
Reverse Stock Split
On January 9, 2024, the Company effected a
All share and per share data throughout these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The total number of authorized shares of common stock did not change. As a result of the reverse stock split, an amount equal to the decreased value of the common stock was reclassified from “common stock” to “additional paid-in capital.”
| 11 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making estimates. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
In the normal course of business, the Company is in the lien based medical industry providing orthopedic healthcare servicing an uninsured market insulated by a letter of protection which insulates the Company and insures payment in full from insurance settlements. Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from attorneys and insurance providers for services provided to patients under the letter of protection. Accounts receivable are recorded at the expected settlement realization amount, which is less contractual adjustments and an allowance for credit losses. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses for its accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. This allowance is determined based on the history of net settlements received, where the net settlement amount is not collected. No collection can happen if no settlement is reached with the defendant’s insurance company and the plaintiff (the patient) loses the case at trial, or the case is abandoned, then the Company will not be able to collect on its letter of protection and its receivable will not be collected. The Company monitors outstanding cases as they develop through ongoing discussions with attorneys, doctors and third-party medical billing company and additionally monitors settlement realization rates over time. Additionally, the Company considers economic factors and events or trends expected to affect future collections experience. The no collection history of the Company’s customers is considered in future assessments of collectability as these patterns are established over a longer period. The Company uses the term collection and collection rate in its disclosures to describe the historical less than 1% occurrence of not collecting under a contract, which aligns with the Company’s credit loss accounting under ASC 326.
The Company does not have a significant exposure
to credit losses as it has historically had a less than 1.0% loss rate where the Company received no settlement amount for its outstanding
accounts receivable. Although possible, claims resulting in zero collection upon settlement are rare based on the Company’s historical
experience and has historically been 0.5% to 1.0% of its outstanding accounts receivable, thereby resulting in a collection rate of 99%.
The Company uses the loss rate method to record its allowance for credit losses. The Company applies the loss rate method by reviewing
its zero collection history on a quarterly basis and updating its estimates of credit losses to adjust for changes in loss data. The Company
typically collects on its accounts receivable between eighteen and twenty-four months after recording. The Company does not record an
allowance for credit losses based on an aging of its accounts receivable as the aging of the Company’s receivables do not influence
the credit loss rate due to the nature of its business and the letter of protection. The Company does not adjust its receivables for the
effects of a significant financing component at contract inception as the timing of variable consideration is determined by the settlement,
which is outside of the Company’s control. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for
credit losses was $
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property, equipment or leasehold improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes based on the following estimated useful lives:
| Schedule of estimated useful lives | |
| Classification | Useful Life |
| Equipment, furniture, and fixtures | |
| Medical equipment | |
| Leasehold improvements |
| 12 |
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for
impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on a reporting
unit basis annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Goodwill
is tested first for impairment based on qualitative factors on an annual basis or in between if an event occurs or circumstances change
that indicate the fair value may be below its carrying amount, otherwise known as a ‘triggering event’. An assessment is made
of these qualitative factors as such to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value is less than the carry amount, including
goodwill. The annual evaluation for impairment of Goodwill, if needed, is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal
projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. The Company believes such assumptions are also comparable to those that
would be used by other marketplace participants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did
Valuation of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and construction in progress held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is its healthcare subsidiary, which records revenues from providing licensed and/or certified orthopedic procedures. Revenue is recognized at a point in time in accordance with ASC 606 and at an estimated net settlement realization rate based on gross billed charges. The Company’s healthcare subsidiary does not have contract liabilities or deferred revenue as there are no amounts prepaid for services. The Company applies the following five-step ASC 606 model to determine revenue recognition:
| · | Identification of a contract with a customer | |
| · | Identification of the performance obligations in the contact | |
| · | Determination of the transaction price | |
| · | Allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations | |
| · | Recognition of revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. |
At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses services promised within each contract and determines those that are a performance obligation and assesses whether each promised service is distinct.
The Company’s contracts contain a single performance obligation (providing orthopedic services), as the promise to transfer the individual services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct, as a result, the entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation.

Accordingly, the Company recognizes net revenue when the patient receives orthopedic care services. The Company’s patient service contracts generally have performance obligations which are satisfied at a point in time. The performance obligation is for onsite or off-site care provided. Patient service contracts are generally fixed-price, and the transaction price is in the contract. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with the Company’s patients are satisfied; generally, at the time of patient care.
In determining net revenue to record under ASC 606, the Company must estimate the transaction price, including estimates of variable consideration in the contract at inception. In order to estimate variable consideration, the Company uses established billings rates (also described as “gross charges”) for the procedures being performed, however, the billing rates are not the same as actual amounts recovered for the Company’s healthcare subsidiary. They generally do not reflect what the Company is ultimately paid by the customer, insurance carriers and other payors, and therefore are not reported in the consolidated financial statements at that rate. The Company is typically paid amounts based on established charges per procedure with guidance from the annually updated Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) guidelines that designates relative value units and a suggested range of charges for each procedure which is then assigned a CPT code. This gross charge is discounted to reflect the percentage paid to the Company using a modifier recognized by each insurance carrier for services, less deductible, co-pay, and contractual adjustments which are deducted from the calculated fee. These adjustments are considered variable consideration under ASC 606 and are deducted from the calculated fee to arrive at the net transaction price. The Company also estimates changes in the contract price as a result of price concessions, changes to deductibles, co-pays and other contractual adjustments to determine the eventual settlement amount the Company expects to receive. The Company uses the term settlement realization in its disclosures to describe the amount of cash the Company expects to receive based on its estimate of the transaction price under the expected value method of ASC 606.
Where appropriate, the Company utilizes the expected value method to determine the appropriate amount for estimates of variable consideration, which has been based on a historical 12-month lookback of its actual settlement realization rates. The estimates of reserves established for variable consideration reflect current contractual requirements, the Company’s historical experience, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted patient data and settlement patterns. Settlement realization patterns are assessed based on actual settlements and based on expected settlement realization trends obtained from discussions with attorneys, doctors and our third-party medical billing company. Settlement amounts are negotiated, and prolonged settlement negotiations are not indicative of a greater likelihood of reduced settlement realization or zero settlement.
The Company may accept a lower settlement realization rate in order to receive faster payment. The Company obtains information about expected settlement realization trends from discussions with doctors and attorneys and its third-party medical billing company vendor, which handles settlement claims and negotiations. Settlement amounts are presented to the Company’s third-party medical billing company vendor.
Settlement rates of 49% or higher based on gross billed amounts are typically accepted without further negotiation. Proposed settlement rates below 49% are negotiated when possible and longer negotiations typically result in higher settlement rates. If the Company accepts a lower settlement realization rate in order to receive payments more quickly, the Company considers that a price concession and estimates these concessions at contract inception. The various forms of variable consideration described above included in the transaction price may be constrained and are included in net revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. The Company has not constrained any of its estimates of variable consideration for any of the periods presented.
Service Fees – Net (PIP)
The Company generates services fees from performing various procedures on the date the services are performed. These services primarily include slip and falls as well as smaller nominal Non-PIP services. As described above, these revenues are based on established insurance billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. These contractual adjustments vary by insurance company and self-pay patients. The Company computes these contractual and other adjustments based on its historical settlement realization experience. Completing the paperwork for each case and preparing it for billing takes approximately ten business days after a procedure is performed. The majority of claims are then filed electronically except for those remaining insurance carriers requiring paper filing. An initial response is usually received within four weeks from electronic filing and up to six weeks from paper filing. Responses may be a payment, a denial, or a request for additional information. The Company’s healthcare revenues are generated from professional medical billings including facility and anesthesia services. With respect to facility and anesthesia services, the Company is the primary obligor as the facility and anesthesia services are considered part of one integrated performance obligation.
| 14 |
The Company satisfies performance obligations as services are performed and then billed to the patient. Payment in most cases is made by an attorney for such services to our patients which are due upon final settlement of patients claims. During the claims process, legal counsel warranties such claim through the letter of protection, which is sent to the Company, as a medical provider, on behalf of the client patient. This letter states that the attorney is responsible for paying the client’s medical bills when the case is fully developed and settles. The medical professional agrees to provide treatment to the injured person and refrain from attempting to collect payment as it is developing and until the case is resolved. Once the personal injury case is finalized with the insurance company, the attorney pays the outstanding medical bills from the settlement.
Settlement Rates
Prior to its fiscal year 2024, the Company
has historically had a 49% settlement realization rate from its total gross billed charges. Accordingly, the Company has historically
recognized net healthcare service revenue as 49% of gross billed amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company
underwent efforts to accelerate cash settlements by accepting lower settlement realization rates in order to settle outstanding accounts
receivable more quickly, which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. This new initiative caused the Company to reassess
the average settlement rate used to recognize healthcare service revenue as a prospective change in estimate given new information available.
Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company completed a thorough review of its third-party billing data, including reviewing
historical reports and new reporting methods as a part of its updated analysis. Based upon this review it was determined that a 24-month
lookback period should be used in the analysis of its historical settlement realization rates. Accordingly, its estimate of its settlement
realization rate was reduced from 49% to 44%, resulting in a $
The Company will continue to evaluate its estimate of its settlement realization rates in the future, which will include a monthly review of the Company’s trailing 24-month historical settlement realization rate, along with estimates of current and pending settlements through ongoing discussions with attorneys, doctors and the Company’s third-party medical billing company in order to determine its variable consideration under ASC 606 and the net transaction price. The Company will update its settlement realization rate estimate used in determining its accounts receivable and revenue each quarter based on this review.
Contract Fees (Non-PIP)
The Company has contract fees for amounts earned
from its Non-Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) related procedures, typically car accidents, and are settled on a contingency
basis. Prior to April 2023, these cases were sold to a factor who bears the risk of economic benefit or loss. Generally, the sale of these
cases to a third-party factor resulted in an approximate 54% reduction from the accounts receivables amounts. After selling patient cases
to the factor, any additional funds settled by us were remitted to the factor. The Company evaluated the factored adjustments considering
the actual factored amounts per patient on a quarterly interval, and the reductions from accounts receivable that were factored were recorded
in finance charges as other expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. As a result of the Company’s eighteen to twenty-four
month settlement realization timeframe, the Company has an accrued liability resulting from the settlement of receivables sold to the
third-party factors which fluctuates as settlements are made and remitted to those third-party factors. These accounts receivables sold
to these third-party factors are not included in the Company’s financial statements accounts receivable balance once sold and therefore
are not part of the assessment of the net realizable value of accounts receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company
factored a total of $

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 | Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. | |
| Level 2 | Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. | |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company accounts for its series N senior convertible preferred stock, series R convertible preferred stock, and series X senior convertible preferred stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares are classified as temporary equity within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB ASC, 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.
The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
| 16 |
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company
did
FASB ASC Subtopic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” provides for the calculation of “Basic” and “Diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, warrants, and debts convertible into common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants are reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities. The diluted effect of debt convertibles is reflected utilizing the if converted method.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company had sustained recurring operating losses since its inception
and has an accumulated deficit of $
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. Management is in continuous discussions with prospective investors and believes the raising of capital will allow the Company to fund its cash flow shortfalls and pursue new acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to it. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds, it may be required to curtail its operating plans. In addition, if overall Company expenses increase, the Company may need to implement cost reductions. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future. Should the Company not be able to raise sufficient funds, it may cause cessation of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“Topic 280”) in November 2023. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Topic 280 improves “reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.” In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable “investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance” and assess “potential future cash flows.” Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on the consolidated financial statements and does not expect there to be any changes or impact to the financial statements.
| 17 |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
The FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 81540).” The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within that period. The FASB also specified that an entity must adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period, other than the first interim period of their fiscal year. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock instruments and makes certain disclosure amendments to improve the information provided to users. There were no material impacts on the consolidated financial statements at adoption.

Leases
ASC 842, “Leases”, requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The Company adopted ASC 842, January 1, 2020, using the effective date method and elected certain practical expedients allowing the Company not to reassess:
| · | whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease; | |
| · | lease classification for expired or existing leases; and | |
| · | whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842. |
The Company also made the accounting policy decision not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.
The Company leases twelve medical facilities and
one vehicle as operating leases as of September 30, 2024. The Company recorded operating lease expenses of $

| 14. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. Management is not currently aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operating results.
| 15. | INCOME TAXES |
At September 30, 2024, the Company had federal
and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $
| 45 |
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company has a deferred tax asset that consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates. Because of the Company’s lack of past earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
| 16. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had two reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by the authoritative guidance on Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
| (1) | Healthcare (Nova) | |
| (2) | Real Estate (Edge View) |
These segments are a result of differences in the nature of the products and services sold. Corporate administration costs, which include, but are not limited to, general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, are partially allocated to the two operating segments. Other revenue consists of nonrecurring items.
The healthcare segment provides a full range of diagnostic and surgical services for injuries and disorders of the skeletal system and associated bones, joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
The real estate segment consists of Edge View, a real estate company that owns five (5) acres zoned medium density residential (MDR) with 12 lots already platted, six (6) acres zoned high-density residential (HDR) that can be platted in various configurations to meet current housing needs, and twelve (12) acres zoned in Lemhi County as Agriculture that is available for further annexation into the City of Salmon for development, as well as a common area for landowners to view wildlife, provide access to the Salmon River and fishing in a two (2) acre pond.
Management uses numerous tools and methods to evaluate and measure of its subsidiaries’ success. To help succeed, management retains the prior owners of the subsidiaries and allow them to do what they do best is run the business. Additionally, management monitors key metrics primarily revenues and net income from operations.

Overview
We are an acquisition holding company focused on locating undervalued and undercapitalized companies, primarily in the healthcare industry, and providing them capitalization and leadership to maximize the value and potential of their private enterprises while also providing diversification and risk mitigation for our stockholders. Specifically, we have and will continue to look at a diverse variety of acquisitions in the healthcare sector in terms of growth stages and capital structures and we intend to focus our portfolio of subsidiaries approximately as follows: 80% will be targeted to established profitable niche small to mid-sized healthcare companies and 20% will be targeted to second stage startups in healthcare and related financial services (emerging businesses with a strong organic growth plan that is materially cash generative).
On May 31, 2021, we acquired Nova Ortho and Spine, LLC, or Nova, which operates a group of regional primary specialty and ancillary care facilities throughout Florida that provide traumatic injury victims with primary care evaluations, interventional pain management, and specialty consultation services. We focus on plaintiff related care are and a highly efficient provider of emergency medical condition, or EMC, assessments. We provide a full range of diagnostic and surgical services for injuries and disorders of the skeletal system and associated bones, joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. From sports injuries, to sprains, strains, and fractures, our doctors are dedicated to helping patients return to active lifestyles.
We also own a real estate company, Edge View Properties, Inc., or Edge View, which we acquired on July 16, 2014. Edge View owns five (5) acres zoned medium density residential (MDR) with 12 lots already platted, six (6) acres zoned high-density residential (HDR) that can be platted in various configurations to meet current housing needs, and twelve (12) acres zoned in Lemhi County as Agriculture that is available for further annexation into the City of Salmon for development, as well as a common area for landowners to view wildlife, provide access to the Salmon River and fishing in a two (2) acre pond. Management has invested years working to develop a new and exciting housing development in Salmon, Idaho and plans to enter into a joint venture agreement with a developer for this planned concept development.
All of our operations are conducted through, and our income derived from, our two subsidiaries.
Segments

These segments are a result of differences in the nature of the products and services sold. Corporate administration costs, which include, but are not limited to, general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, are partially allocated to the three operating segments.

Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, all of our revenue was generated by our healthcare segment, which generates revenue through a full range of diagnostic and surgical services. Our total revenue decreased by $2,050,218, or 60.20%, to $1,355,641 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $3,405,859 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the following factors:
| · | The 2024 third quarter revenue was negatively impacted by the hurricanes that occurred in Florida during this timeframe. The harsh weather caused several of our facilities to shut down for periods of time due to storm damage as well as patients not being able to attend their appointments. All of our facilities have reopened. | |
| · | Prior to fiscal year 2024 we historically realized a 49% settlement rate from total gross billed charges. Accordingly, we had historically recognized net healthcare service revenue as 49% of gross billed amounts. Throughout the first half of 2024 as well as the third quarter of 2024, we underwent efforts to accelerate cash settlement of our accounts receivable to generate cash flow for operations. We did this by shortening our settlement negotiations timespan with attorneys and insurance companies and accepting lower settlement amounts. We expect this trend to continue in the short term as we work to settle our accounts receivables more quickly to generate cash flow for operations. | |
| · | Additionally, during the third quarter of 2024, we completed a thorough review of our third-party billing data, including reviewing historical reports and new reporting methods as a part of our updated analysis. Based upon this review it was determined that a 24-month lookback period should be used in the analysis of our historical settlement realization rates. As a result of the new efforts to accelerate cash settlement during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we realized a 44% average settlement rate of our gross billed charges during this time frame, which were historically recorded in accounts receivable and revenue at 49% of gross billings. With the reduction in our estimate of our settlement realization rate from 49% to 44%, a $1,650,474 change in accounting estimate was taken during the third quarter of 2024 in our accounts receivable and revenue. |
Cost of sales. Our cost of sales consists of surgical center and laboratory fees, physician and professional fees, salaries and wages and medical supplies. Our total cost of sales increased by $449,178, or 81.46%, to $1,000,601 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $551,423 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sale increased from 16.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 73.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase is mainly attributable to increases in laboratory fees.
Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, our total gross profit decreased by $2,499,396, or 87.56%, to $355,040 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $2,854,436 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our total gross margin (as a percent of revenue) decreased from 83.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 26.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Depreciation expense. Our depreciation expense was $3,365, or 0.25% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $3,365, or 0.10% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of accounting, auditing, legal and public reporting expenses, personnel expenses, including employee salaries, bonuses plus related payroll taxes and stock compensation expense, advertising expenses, professional advisor fees, rent expense, insurance and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $359,158, or 62.17%, to $936,835 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $577,677 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 69.11% and 16.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Increases were primarily attributable to increases in salaries and wages expense of $265,346, professional fees of $153,624, rent expense of $33,386, payroll taxes of $20,010, and board fee expense of $15,000, offset by a decrease in management fees of $180,000.
Total other income (expense). We had $1,392,808 in total other expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to total other expense, net, of $288,168 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Other expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of interest expense of $1,386,041 and other expense of $6,767.

Revenue. Our total revenue decreased by $4,327,348, or 45.66%, to $5,149,416 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $9,476,764 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in revenue is mainly attributable to the following factors:
| · | The 2024 third quarter revenue was negatively impacted by the hurricanes that occurred in Florida during this timeframe. The harsh weather caused several of our facilities to shut down for periods of time due to storm damage as well as patients not being able to attend their appointments. All of our facilities have reopened. |
| 53 |
| · | Our mix of services provided during the first nine months of the year with lower settlement realization rates from surgical procedures performed and an increase in the lower revenue pain management treatments being performed for approximately the same number of patient visits in the current nine-month period as compared to the same nine-month period in the prior year, also contributed to the decrease in revenue. | |
| · | Prior to fiscal year 2024, we historically realized a 49% settlement rate from total gross billed charges. Accordingly, we had historically recognized net healthcare service revenue as 49% of gross billed amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we underwent efforts to accelerate cash settlement of our accounts receivable throughout 2024 to generate cash flow for operations. We did this by shortening our settlement negotiations timespan with attorneys’ insurance companies and accepting lower settlement amounts. We expect this trend to continue in the short term as we work to settle our accounts receivables more quickly to generate cash flow for operations. | |
| · | Additionally, during the third quarter of 2024, we completed a thorough review of our third-party billing data, including reviewing historical reports and new reporting methods as a part of our updated analysis. Based upon this review it was determined that a 24-month lookback period should be used in the analysis of our historical settlement realization rates. As a result of the new efforts to accelerate cash settlement during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we realized a 44% average settlement rate of our gross billed charges during this time frame, which were historically recorded in accounts receivable and revenue at 49% of gross billings. Accordingly, we recorded a reduction to net revenue of $1,199,155 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, with the reduction in our estimate of our settlement realization rate from 49% to 44%, a $1,650,474 change in accounting estimate was taken during the third quarter of 2024 in our accounts receivable and revenue. |
Cost of sales. Our total cost of sales increased by $152,358, or 5.88%, to $2,741,765 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $2,589,407 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sale increased from 27.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 53.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in laboratory fees.
Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, our total gross profit decreased by $4,479,706, or 65.04%, to $2,407,651 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $6,887,357 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our total gross margin (as a percent of revenue) decreased from 72.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 46.76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Depreciation expense. Our depreciation expense was $10,096 or 0.20% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $11,365, or 0.12% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Share based compensation expense. Our share-based compensation expense $300,225, or 5.83% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is due to stock issuances for investor relation services, stock issued to board members and stock issued as compensation for new employment bonuses to management.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $527,370, or 25.17%, to $2,622,981 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $2,095,611 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 50.94% and 22.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Increases were primarily attributable to increases in salaries and wages expense of $769,696, stock compensation expense of $93,600, professional fees of $60,367, investor relations and public company fees of $71,431, insurance expense of $71,635 and rent expense of $100,000, offset by decreases in management fees of $225,000, bad debt expense of $270,000, and penalties of $44,670.
Total other expense. We had $1,755,694 in total other expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to total other expense, net, of $1,905,768 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Other expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of interest expense of $1,803,657, amortization of debt discounts of $24,821, penalties and fees of $1,330, and other expenses of $4,720, offset by other income of $78,834 for the gain on debt refinance. Other expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consisted of interest expense of $1,763,698, amortization of debt discounts of $94,664 and financing penalties and fees of $48,000, offset by a gain on debt refinance and forgiveness of $390 and other income of $204.
| 54 |
Discontinued operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $111,312 and $93,005, respectively.
Net income (loss). As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $2,392,657, as compared to net income of $2,781,608 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $5,174,265.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, we had $1,949,000 in cash. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A reflects a restatement limited to reclassifying noncash interest expense in the consolidated statements of cash flows from financing to operating activities. This change in presentation did not affect our cash balance for any period presented. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations, sales of securities, advances from stockholders and third-party and related party debt.
We believe, based on our operating plan, that current working capital and current and expected additional financing should be sufficient to fund operations and satisfy our obligations as they come due for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date. However, additional funds from new financing and/or future equity raises are required for continued operations and to execute our business plan and our strategy of acquiring additional businesses. The funds required to sustain operations range between $600,000 to $1 million and additional funds execute our business plan will depend on the size, capital structure and purchase price consideration that the seller of a target business deems acceptable in a given transaction. The amount of funds needed to execute our business plan also depends on what portion of the purchase price of a target business the seller of that business is willing to take in the form of seller notes or our equity or equity in one of our subsidiaries. Given these factors, we believe that the amount of outside additional capital necessary to execute our business plan on the low end (assuming target company sellers accept a significant portion of the purchase price in the form of seller notes or our equity or equity in one of our subsidiaries) ranges between $4 million to $8 million. If, and to the extent, that sellers are unwilling to accept a significant portion of the purchase price in seller notes and equity, then the cash required to execute our business plan could be as much as $10 million.
We intend to raise capital for additional acquisitions primarily through equity and debt financings. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. There is no guarantee that we will be able to acquire additional businesses under the terms outlined above.
The financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustment with respect to these uncertainties.
Summary of Cash Flow
The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Our net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $2,043,238 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $557,542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The primary drivers of our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are our net loss of $2,392,657, decreases of $1,492,966 in accounts receivable and $691,072 in accounts payable, offset by increases of $1,953,667 of interest included in the line of credit and $300,225 of share based compensation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net income of $2,781,608, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $733,125, an increase in accrued officer’s compensation of $514,000, bad debt expense of $270,000 and an increase in accrued interest of $380,020, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $5,510,098, were the primary drivers for the cash used in operations.

Our net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $3,996,905 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $557,542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The primary drivers of our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are our net loss of $2,392,657, decreases of $1,492,966 in accounts receivable, $691,072 in accounts payable and other accrued expenses and $380,001 in accrued officer’s compensation, offset by share based compensation of $788,600. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net income of $2,781,608, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $733,125, an increase in accrued officer’s compensation of $514,000, bad debt expense of $270,000 and an increase in accrued interest of $380,020, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $5,510,098, were the primary drivers for the cash used in operations.
We monitor outstanding cases as they develop through ongoing discussions with attorneys, doctors and our third-party medical billing company and additionally monitor our settlement realization rates over time. We have two primary methods of accelerating our cash settlement of our revenue and related accounts receivable. The first is through factoring our receivables, which was done in 2023, but ended prior to April 2023. The second method is through accepting lower settlement amounts during the final negotiations of the settlement, which is coordinated through our third-party medical billing company. When our third-party medical billing company is provided with a settlement amount of 49% of gross charges or greater they will accept. When presented with a lower amount we will discuss the reasons for the reduced rate and negotiate a higher rate. Shortening our negotiation timeframe will typically result in a lower settlement realization rate, but will accelerate the cash settlement of the outstanding accounts receivable. We began employing this second method in 2024, which reduced our settlement realization rate as described below. We have employed both methods from time to time to accelerate our cash settlement and may employ one or both in the future.
Prior to April 2023, we factored (sold) the vast majority of our accounts receivable to third party(s) to generate working capital to fund ongoing business operations and growth. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we factored a total of $544,196 of our accounts receivable in exchange for cash of $253,750. We ceased factoring of accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2023. The most recent average realization time for accounts receivable was approximately eighteen to twenty-four months from the initial date of service. Typically, a patient will have a series of dates of service over an average of 12 to 16 months.
Prior to fiscal year 2024, we historically realized a 49% settlement rate from total gross billed charges. Accordingly, we had historically recognized net healthcare service revenue as 49% of gross billed amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we underwent efforts to accelerate cash settlement of our accounts receivable throughout 2024 to generate cash flow for operations. We did this by shortening our settlement negotiations with insurance companies and accepting lower settlement amounts. We expect this trend to continue in the short term as we work to settle our accounts receivables more quickly to generate cash flow for operations. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2024, we completed a thorough review of our third-party billing data, including reviewing historical reports and new reporting methods as a part of our updated analysis. Based upon this review it was determined that a 24-month lookback period should be used in the analysis of our historical settlement realization rates. As a result of the new efforts to accelerate cash settlement during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we realized a 44% average settlement rate of our gross billed charges during this time frame, which were historically recorded in accounts receivable and revenue at 49% of gross billings. Accordingly, we recorded reductions to net revenue of $1,199,155 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, with the reduction in our estimate of our settlement realization rate from 49% to 44%, a $1,650,474 change in accounting estimate was taken during the third quarter of 2024 in our accounts receivable and revenue.
We had no investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Our net cash provided by financing activities was $3,014,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $426,671 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of the proceeds of $3,395,204 from line of credit, offset by the payment of $120,997 to a director, $105,080 paid on convertible notes payable, $100,000 in dividend payments, $50,000 paid on a note payable, and $4,545 in payments on the SBA loan described below. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consisted of proceeds from convertible notes payable of $421,376 and proceeds from line of credit of $35,632, offset by repayments of line of credit of $28,784.

Convertible Notes
As of September 30, 2024, we had convertible debt outstanding net of amortized debt discount of $105,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we made $105,080 in principal payments and paid the total outstanding accrued interest on these notes in the amount of $22,780. We also paid $100,000 of accrued interest to a convertible noteholder.
On June 11, 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement and release of claims with the holder certain notes. Pursuant to the settlement agreement and release of claims, the holder agreed to cancel such notes in exchange for the fixed amount settlement promissory note in the principal amount of $535,000 described below. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we exchanged certain notes for the issuance of 938,908 shares of series Y senior convertible preferred stock to the noteholder.
On January 24, 2017, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $80,000 for services rendered, which matured on January 24, 2018. This note is currently in default and accrues interest at a default interest rate of 20% per annum. On March 30, 2023, we executed an additional tranche under this note in the principal amount of $25,000. This note is currently in default and accrues interest at a default interest rate of 20% per annum. On August 11, 2023, we executed an additional tranche under this note in the principal amount of $25,000. This note accrues interest at a rate of 15% per annum.
Promissory Note – Settlement Agreement
On June 11, 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement and release of claims with the holder of 165 shares of series R convertible preferred stock and certain convertible promissory notes. Pursuant to the settlement agreement and release of claims, the holder agreed to cancel its shares of series R convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory notes in exchange for a new fixed amount settlement promissory note in the principal amount of $535,000. This transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and a gain on settlement of $78,834 was recorded to the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in accordance with FASB Topic 470 Borrower’s Accounting for Debt Modifications.
The note does not bear interest and requires fixed payments as follows: (i) if we raise at least $5 million but less than $6 million in our planned underwritten public offering, or the Offering, then we must pay $250,000 on the closing date of the Offering, with payments of $125,000, $125,000 and $35,000 to follow on the 90th, 180th, and 240th days following the closing of the Offering, respectively; (ii) if we raise at least $6 million but less than $7 million in the Offering, then we must pay $390,000 on the closing date of the Offering and $145,000 on the 90th day following the closing of the Offering; and (iii) if we raise at least $7 million in the Offering, then we must repay the entire principal amount on the closing date of the Offering. As the Offering was not completed by August 15, 2024, we are required to pay $25,000 on such date and to continue making payments of $25,000 on each monthly anniversary thereof until the entire principal amount is repaid in full. If the Offering is completed after August 15, 2024, then we are required to make payments as described in the schedule above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we abandon the Offering and conduct a new public offering thereafter, then we are required to make a payment of $100,000 on the closing date of such other public offering, a second payment of $100,000 on the 90th day following the closing of such offering and $35,000 each month thereafter until the entire principal amount is repaid in full. If any portion of the principal amount remains unpaid on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of the note, it shall become immediately due and payable on such date. We may prepay the entire principal amount at any time without penalty. The note is unsecured and contains customary events of default for a loan of this type. Upon an event of default, interest would automatically begin to accrue at a simple interest rate of ten percent per annum. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid a total of $50,000 against the outstanding principal due.
Small Business Administration Loans
On June 2, 2020, we obtained a loan from the Small Business Administration of $150,000 at an interest rate of 3.75% with a maturity date of June 2, 2050. The principal balance and accrued interest at September 30, 2024 was $145,109 and $0, respectively.
| 57 |
Debenture
On March 12, 2009, we issued a debenture in the principal amount of $20,000. The debenture bore interest at 12% per year and matured on September 12, 2009. The balance of the debenture was $10,989 at September 30, 2024 and the accrued interest was $8,537. We assigned all of our receivables from consumer activations of the rewards program as collateral on this debenture.
Line of Credit
On September 29, 2023, our company and Nova entered into a two-year revolving purchase and security agreement with DML HC Series, LLC, or DML, to sell, with recourse, Nova’s accounts receivables for a revolving financing up to a maximum advance amount of $4.5 million. A review is performed on a quarterly basis to assess the adequacy of the maximum amount. If mutually agreed upon by us and DML, the maximum amount may be increased. On April 24, 2024, we entered into amendment No. 1 with DML which increased the maximum advance amount to $8,000,000 and defined the discount fee equal to 2.25% per purchase and claims balance forward on new purchases with a minimum fee to now be $10,000. On June 11, 2024, we entered into amendment No. 2 with DML which further increased the maximum advance amount to $11,000,000. As of September 30, 2024, we had an outstanding balance of $7,468,971 against the revolving receivable line of credit and accrued interest of $252,628. The revolving purchase and security agreement includes discounts recorded as interest expense on each funding and matures on September 29, 2025.
Related Party Loans
In connection with the acquisition of Edge View on July 16, 2014, we assumed amounts due to previous owners who are current managers of Edge View. These amounts are due on demand and do not bear interest. The balance of these amounts is $4,979 as of September 30, 2024.
Contractual Obligations
Our principal commitments consist mostly of obligations under the loans described above.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
For a description of the accounting policies that, in management’s opinion, involve the most significant application of judgment or involve complex estimation and which could, if different judgment or estimates were made, materially affect our reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 27, 2024.

| 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 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 chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2024. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which we are still in the process of remediating as of September 30, 2024, along with the error identified in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The errors identified in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q were corrected in amended filings. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, for the description of these weaknesses.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have evaluated the material weakness described above and our management and board of directors are committed to the design and successful implementation of internal control over financial reporting as promptly as possible. We are evaluating our updated internal controls design and will determine whether the controls have operated effectively during 2024 in order to fully remediate the aforementioned material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the third quarter of 2024, we continued to implement the following remedial procedures:
| · | We are making necessary changes by making strategic hiring decisions and providing training to our financial team, and other relevant personnel, on the GAAP accounting guidelines applicable to financial reporting requirements. | |
| · | We are implementing proper documentation procedures for key functional areas, control objectives and our workflows. | |
| · | We are enhancing our processes, routine and non-routine, to encompass segregation of duties as well as oversight of secondary independent reviews. | |
| · | We plan to reinforce effective compensating controls can improve the design of the current process with limited human resources. | |
| · | We hired external consultants to assist with our assessment and accounting for variable consideration as accounted for under ASC 606 and our credit loss expense as accounted for under ASC 326. |
| 59 |
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 an 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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, management identified a classification error in the presentation of noncash interest expense within the consolidated statements of cash flows, which resulted in the restatement of certain prior-period financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. While this classification error did not result in a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we have enhanced our review procedures for the statement of cash flows, including additional cross-checks between the disclosure checklist, supporting schedules, and the general ledger.
Other than in connection with the item noted above as well as the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
