TRIBAL RIDES INTERNATIONAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | Organization and Business |
Organization and Business
Our Company was incorporated on May 19, 2014 in the State of Nevada as Trimax Consulting, Inc. with an initial business plan of providing real estate consulting services and purchasing tax liens. On May 8, 2017, we filed an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Xinda International Corp. On February 24, 2021, we filed an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Tribal Rides International Corp. On February 23, 2022, we filed an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to change our ticker symbol. Until that change is made, our ticker symbol remains XNDA. On March 13, 2023, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized common shares to five hundred million () shares.
We are engaged in the business of digital transformation of transportation. The digital transportation enablement and enhancement platform provides fully automated dispatching and bookings management built for taxi companies, limousine companies and ride-sharing service providers. The platform gives customers an app-based experience and provides service providers a range of functions which include customer booking, accounts management, driver tracking, real-time notifications, auto dispatching algorithms, accounting and settlements, corporate account management as well as providing reporting and analytics. The platform has also shown to have a direct application in the B2B space in providing corporations with a more efficient taxi chit solution to combat fraud and excessive administration costs.
Although we have made progress on our platform, it is continuing to undergo additional coding and beta testing while we await additional funding. We hope to launch the next phase of release in the 2024 calendar year. We have focused on expanding some of the transportation capabilities and bug fixing. One significant addition to the financial transaction capabilities of our platform is the successful registration and qualification for using the Paypal financial transaction features to supplement our current Stripe capabilities.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Our Company’s year-end is December 31.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America,
which contemplate continuation of our Company as a going concern. We currently have no revenues, have incurred net losses, and have
an accumulated deficit of $
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if our Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 8 |
Internal Use Software Development
We account for costs incurred to develop or purchase computer software for internal use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40 "Internal-Use Software" or ASC 350-50 “Website Costs”. As required by ASC 350-40, we capitalize the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing.
Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs, once placed into service, are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years, management’s estimate of the economic life. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. Our software platform has not yet been placed into service. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.
Intellectual Property
We have patent and patent pending technologies with a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms. It involves anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance – to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization of vehicles, and decrease cost. It includes new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply and demand rates, and “specific” community engagement.
Patent expenses, consisting mainly of patent filing fees, have been capitalized and are shown as an asset on our balance sheet. We amortize our Patent asset over the remaining life of the Patent, which is approximately ten (10) years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of our Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| Level 1 | — | Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | ||||
| Level 2 | — | Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable in the marketplace either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). | ||||
| Level 3 | — | Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. |
For assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Fair Value Hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are recognized and measured at fair value in the financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (level 3 inputs are not applicable):
| Fair Value Measurement Using | ||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | |||||||
| As of June 30, 2023: | ||||||||

During the six months and year ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3.
Financial risk factors
As our software platform has not yet been launched, we believe our activities do not yet expose us to any market, credit or liquidity risk.
Long-lived Assets
We follow ASC 360-10-15-3, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Revenue Recognition
At our inception, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under this guidance, operating revenue is recognized at the time a good or service is transferred to a customer and the customer receives the service performed. Our revenue arrangements with customers are predominantly short-term in nature involving a single performance obligation related to the delivery of the service and generally provide for transfer of control at the time payment for the service is received.
We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price, if applicable, all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). Sales taxes which may be collected are not recognized as revenue but are included in accounts payable on the balance sheets as they would ultimately be remitted to governmental authorities. No such taxes have yet been charged or collected.
We have elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the effects of a significant financing component if the contract has a duration of one year or less. Our revenue arrangements are short-term in nature and do not have significant financing components, therefore we have not adjusted consideration.
Debt Issued with Common Stock/Warrants
Debt and common stock issued with common stock/detachable warrants is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20 – Accounting for Debt With Conversion or Other Options. We record the relative fair value of debt or common stock and warrants related to the issuance of debt as a debt discount or premium in the case of debt and as additional paid-in capital in the case of common stock. Debt discount or premium is subsequently amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt.
Common Stock Issued for Services
Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, codified into ASC 505 Equity. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement at various performance completion dates, and for unvested instruments, at each reporting date. Compensation expense, once recorded, may not be reversed.
Stock option grants are valued using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and the expected term of the award. The risk-free rate of interest was based on the U.S. Treasury bond rates appropriate for the expected term of the award. There are no expected dividends as we do not currently plan to pay dividends on our common stock. Expected stock price volatility was based on historical volatility levels of our common stock. The expected term is estimated by using the actual contractual term of the option grants and the expected length of time for the employees to exercise the options.
Stock awards issuable pursuant to employment agreements are valued at the fair market value of our stock at the date on which each award, or portion thereof, vests.
| 10 |
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes, which requires us to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carry forwards. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We include interest and penalties related to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, within the provision for income taxes.
We compute net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all potential dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, we had potentially dilutive shares.
New Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all accounting pronouncements recently issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC and have determined that they are either not applicable or are not believed to have a material impact on our present or future financial statements.

10% Convertible Promissory Note
On November 10, 2021 (the
“Issue Date”), we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with a third party (the “Lender”),
for the purchase of a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $
In addition to the issuance of the Note, we were obligated to issue to the Lender, as a commitment fee, restricted shares of our common stock (the “Commitment Shares”). Along with the issuance of the Commitment Shares, we were required to issue to the Lender a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”). All or any part of the Warrant is immediately exercisable at $1.00 per share and expires three years from the Issue Date. The Warrants are subject to adjustments as provided in the warrant agreement. The Commitment Shares and Warrant were issued in February 2022.
We allocated the proceeds
from the Note between the Note, the Commitment Shares and the Warrant and recorded a debt discount of $
On May 22, 2022, pursuant to our Company’s request, the Note was extended for six months until November 10, 2022. Subsequent to this extension, the Lender further agreed to modify the terms of the Note as follows:
| · | On November 22, the lender agreed to extend the maturity date
of the Note to |
|
| · | On January 31, the lender agreed to an additional extension of
the Note to |
|
| · | On May 23, 2023, the lender agreed to fund an additional $ |
The Note is convertible only upon an event of default (as defined in the Note) and is then convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 90% multiplied by the lowest trading price (i) during the previous 20 trading day period ending on the Issue Date, or (ii) during the previous 20 trading day period ending on the date of conversion of the Note (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to various adjustments, as specified in the Note. There has been no event of default to date.
While the Note is issued and outstanding, our Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that are actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). If, at any time we do not maintain or replenish the Reserved Amount within three business days of the request of the Lender, the principal amount of the Note will increase by $5,000 per occurrence. If we fail to maintain our status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, or, if the Conversion Price is less than $0.01 at any time after the Issue Date, the principal amount of the Note will be increased by $5,000 and the Conversion Price will be redefined to mean 50% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the Note), subject to adjustments (which includes an adjustment for anti-dilutive issuances). The Note and the SPA also contain various restrictions and grants the Lender various rights.
| 13 |
Upon an Event of Default, the Note will become immediately due and payable, and our Company will pay to the Lender the Default Sum (as defined in the Note) or the Default Amount (as defined in the Note).
During the six months ended
June 30, 2023 and 2022, interest expense for this note amounted to $
6% Convertible Promissory Note
On April 28, 2023, we issued
a convertible promissory note to a non-related third party in the principal amount of $
The assumptions used in determining the value of the embedded derivative in this note during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were as follows:
| Expected term in years | ||||
| Risk-free interest rate | ||||
| Annual expected volatility | ||||
| Dividend yield |
Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Bill with a similar term on the date of the option grant.
Volatility: Expected volatility of the stock price is based on the corresponding volatility of our historical stock price.
Dividend yield: 0% expected dividend yield as we have not paid dividends to date and do not anticipate declaring dividends in the near future.
Remaining term: The remaining term is based on the remaining contractual term of the warrant.
The following table represents derivative liability activity as it relates to this note for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Common Stock
On March 13, 2023, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized common shares from fifty million () to five hundred million (), $par value.
In 2022, we discovered an error whereby we previously reported our par value as $ per share. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, we evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded that the error was immaterial to the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 and Statement of Operations, Changes in Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), and Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2021. We have corrected this error by making an out-of-period adjustment as of December 31, 2022, reducing Balance Sheet accounts for both Common Stock and Common Stock to be Issued, and increasing the Balance Sheet account Additional Paid-In Capital.

2020 Stock Incentive Plan
Effective June 20, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) authorizing a total of shares of our common stock for future issuances under the Plan. Under the Plan, the exercise price of a granted option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant (110% of the fair market value in the case of a 10% stockholder). Additionally, no option may be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted (no more than five (5) years in the case of a 10% stockholder).
Stock Options
On June 20, 2020, we granted options to purchase of our common shares to each of Messrs. Grimes, Prasad, and Ritacco, all Officers and/or Directors of our Company. The options are exercisable at $0.01 per share, expire five (5) years from the date of grant, and vest ratably beginning December 20, 2021 over the term of the option.
The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and resulted in a de minimis valuation. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock options were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, 2020 | ||||
| Expected term in years | years | |||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||
| Annual expected volatility | % | |||

Volatility: Expected volatility of the stock price is based on the corresponding volatility of our historical stock price.
Dividend yield: 0% expected dividend yield as we have not paid dividends to date and do not anticipate declaring dividends in the near future.
Remaining term: The remaining term is based on the remaining contractual term of the stock options.

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following discussions are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of our Company as a going concern. We currently have no revenues, have incurred net losses, and have an accumulated deficit of $2,666,078 as of June 30, 2023. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from any future business we may acquire. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient capital to continue as a going concern. If our working capital needs are not met and we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intellectual Property
We have patent and patent pending technologies with a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms. It involves anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization of vehicles, and decreasing cost. It includes a new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply and demand rates, and “specific” community engagement.
Patent expenses, consisting mainly of patent filing fees, have been capitalized and are shown as an asset on our balance sheet. We amortize our Patent asset over the remaining life of the Patent, which is approximately 10 years.
Long-lived Assets
We follow ASC 360-10-15-3, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Common Stock Issued for Services
Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, codified into ASC 505 Equity. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement at various performance completion dates, and for unvested instruments, at each reporting date. Compensation expense, once recorded, may not be reversed.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position and result of operations.
Trends and Uncertainties
Demand for our products is dependent on general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Because a major portion of our activities are the receipt of revenues from our services and products, our business operations may be adversely affected by competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.
There are no other known trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity. Sources of liquidity will come from the sale of our products and services. There are no material commitments for capital expenditure at this time. There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from the registrant’s continuing operations. There are no other known causes for any material changes from period to period in one or more line items of our financial statements.
Impact of COVID-19
During the year 2021, the effects of a new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19 on our operating results for the period ended June 30, 2023 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.
Product Release
Phase 2 (2023): After successfully achieving phase 1’s major milestones in 2022, we have redesigned and added important and enhanced features sets, as well as identifying the bugs and shortcomings to the Minimum Viable Product. Once the applications are “hardened” and additional feature sets incorporated, we will be releasing both applications and encouraging new Drivers and Riders to use our applications within our Tribal Rides platform. Phase 2 is enabling us to rewrite the applications to be more scalable with improved transparency for financial transactions, incorporating our improved understanding of driver and rider preferences, enhance the application, incorporate additional patent and patent-pending technologies, and to plan on additional transportation alternatives.
The timetable for release of Tribal Rides Driver and Rider applications for both Apple and Android phones and tablets is unclear at this time.
Phase 3 (2024): Phase 3 is planned to provide a stable and enhanced application for both Drivers and Riders, while planning for and incorporating next-generation self-driving car capabilities as well as other transportation alternatives.
Marketing and Early Adoption of our Applications
Our marketing plan successfully reached out through various social media outlets to communicate directly with drivers and riders who will be interested in our new and innovative features and functions for shared rides.
In 2023, we received 799 requests for our Tribal Rides Driver application. We are very encouraged by these early adopters and view these requests as confirmation of our design approach and the availability of an untapped market segment that is not being addressed by the other major shared-ride applications.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have previously raised capital through debt financing, advances from related parties and private placements of our common stock to meet operating needs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued entered into private placement (“PPM”) agreements with two individuals and received $50,000 in proceeds. In addition, we borrowed $25,000 from an individual and $30,000 from the holder of our convertible promissory note during the same period. Finally, certain related parties made net advances to us totaling $25,777 during the same six-month period. As of June 30, 2023, we have $37 in cash, and we will need to raise additional funds to execute our current plan of operation. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to execute our plan of operation, we intend to scale back our operations commensurately with the funds available to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
We have no plant or significant equipment to sell, nor are we going to buy any plant or significant equipment during the next 12 months.
Balance Sheets
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $37 and total assets of $249,594 compared with cash of $4,213 and total assets of $137,652 as of December 31, 2022. From December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023, our total liabilities increased by $222,564 due to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($132,810), notes payable net of debt discount ($45,750), derivative liability ($18,227) and related party advances ($25,777).

In addition, four shareholders agreed to cancel 2,145,000 shares they owned. No consideration was paid for the cancellation of the shares.
Cash Flows

This use of cash in the 2023 period was caused by our net loss of $645,672 offset to some degree by the total non-cash items of shares issued for services, shares issued in accordance with terms of employment agreements, gain on extinguishment of debt, amortization of debt discount, and changes in prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The 2023 period included $50,000 from the sale of our common shares, $55,000 from the issuance of additional debt and $25,777 from related party advances.

We have elected to take advantage of the exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to public companies required to adopt these new requirements.
| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
As a smaller reporting company, we have elected not to provide the disclosure required by this item.
| Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as such, is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Grimes who serves as both our principal executive officer and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal accounting and financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Mr. Grimes evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2023. Based on his evaluation, Mr. Grimes concluded that, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023. In light of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we completed substantive procedures, including validating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for accounting prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recent fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
