GOING CONCERN |
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The audited consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company identified that a substantial doubt exists if the Company is able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year of the date of the financial statements being issued. Principal conditions that gave rise to the substantial doubt include, the Company historically incurring net losses as indicated in the Company’s accumulated deficit of approximately $63,769,469 at December 31, 2023 including the impact of its net loss of $46,402,121 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and total debt on the balance sheet was $8,394,466, as of December 31, 2023, with all debt coming due within one year of the date of the financial statements being issued. Management evaluated the principal conditions that initially give rise to the substantial doubt and note that the historical net losses and accumulated deficit impact are justified as they are primarily made up of non-cash expenses or one-time non-recurring expenses, such as goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation expense, fair value share adjustment loss and acquisition transaction expenses. Total debt of $8,394,466 on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 includes $4,472,500 of notes payable to Ross Sklar, who has a large minority ownership of the Company that provides incentive for Mr. Sklar to extend or refinance the notes before the notes become due, as seen historically (see Note 8). Management plans include, (i) continuing to increase net cash provided by operating activities, which was $686,657 for the year ended December 31, 2023, while decreasing net cash provided by financing activities, and (ii) obtaining an alternative financing source to pay off all current debt outstanding and provide additional working capital, if needed. In order to achieve these plans, management has created and approved plans to increase top line revenue for each segment, while decreasing overall expenses as a percent of revenue, which will be realized through realizing synergies from the acquisitions of AOS, Skylar and Soylent, while utilizing the Company’s back-end shared service model to reduce expenses. The Company is in ongoing negotiations to obtain additional financing to clear historical debt and provide additional working capital. These conditions and the ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
