NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This
Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,”
“could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements
largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results
of operation, business strategy and financial needs.
You
should read thoroughly this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what
we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC on April 22, 2022, which risk factors could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from
time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained
in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation
to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required
by applicable law.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements.
The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the
Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include
all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business.
8
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor, BHP, BLU3, SSI and LBI.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Only
highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated
at cost, which approximates market value.
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 per EIN. At June 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $ 22,700 and $ 205,500 , respectively in excess of the FDIC insured limit.
Foreign
Currency Forward Contracts
We
use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies, manage exchange rate
volatility in the translation of foreign earnings, and reduce exposures to foreign currency fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies.
The
foreign currency forward hedging contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2022 have settlement dates within 6 months. The spot rate components
of these foreign currency forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and any unrealized gains or losses are reported in other
comprehensive income and reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Income in the same periods during which the underlying hedged
transactions affect earnings. If a hedging relationship is terminated with respect to a foreign currency forward contract, accumulated
gains or losses associated with the contract remain in OCI until the hedged forecasted transaction occurs and are reclassified to operations
in the same periods during which the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings.
Foreign
currency forward contracts entered into to hedge cost of goods purchases were as follows as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Revenue
Recognition
We
account for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
and all the related amendments. This standards core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods
or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to receive.
We
recognize the sale of products under single performance obligations upon shipment of the units as that is when ownership is transferred
and our performance is completed. Revenues from repair and maintenance activities is recognized when the repairs are completed and the
units have been shipped.
Lease
Accounting
We
account for leases in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”. The lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance
sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations.
We
categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those
leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance
leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance
leases as of June 30, 2022. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property.
We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component and account
for them as a lease.
Lease
liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings
available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives,
plus any direct costs from executing the leases. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used
in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease
term.
When
we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease for the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and
it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement
of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the
term of the lease.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 the lease expenses were approximately $ 64,500 and $ 128,700 , respectively, and approximately
$ 43,000 and $ 78,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Cash paid for operating liabilities for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $ 128,400 and approximately $ 32,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Stock-Based
Compensation
We
account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies
to measure the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options,
based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee and non-employee
are required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
Loss
per common share
Basic
earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed
using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent
shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. At June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, 245,847,251 and 205,855,020 ,
respectively, of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares reflect shares
potentially issuable under convertible notes, outstanding warrants, outstanding stock options and the conversion of preferred stock.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
ASU 2016-13 Current Expected Credit
Loss (ASC326)
In December 2021, the FASB issued and update to ASU No. 2016-13 the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard
(ASC 326), which is designed to provide greater transparency and understanding of credit risk by incorporating estimated, forward-looking
data when measuring lifetime Estimated Credit Losses (ECL) and requires enhanced financial statement disclosures. This guidance is effective
January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the changes from this standard to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures
ASU
2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740)
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”),
which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general
principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective
for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The
Company determined that the standard has no impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note
3. Going Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern,
which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month
period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a
net loss of $ 772,754
of which $ 520,739
is non-cash stock related compensation and shares issued for service. At June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$ 15,317,359 .
Despite a working capital surplus of approximately $ 1,792,309
at June 30, 2022, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s
ability to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its
operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. The
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.

value of the stock was calculated based on the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of a share of the Company’s common
stock on the OTC Markets for (i) 180 days prior to the date of the parties’ execution and delivery of the binding term sheet for
the Merger or (ii) 180 days prior to the closing date of the Merger, whichever results in a lower VWAP which resulted in a conversion
price of $ 0.051271831 and the issuance of 27,305,442 shares of common stock with a fair value of $ 1,449,919 on the closing date.
Inventory
was assessed at the time of closing as to its fair value, and it was determined that a step-up analysis was necessary in order to evaluate
the fair value of the inventory at the time of closing. The step up represents the net profit that would be attained when the inventory
is sold. The key assumptions used in this analysis is a gross margin of 38.3% and selling costs of 5.0%, The analysis resulted in a necessary
step up of $31,000 at the time of closing.
Goodwill
represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.
The goodwill arising from the acquisition is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers.
The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
15
As
of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an estimated fair value of the intangible assets and goodwill of $ 992,986 based on a preliminary
purchase price allocation prepared by management. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be
up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the
corresponding offset to goodwill. After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired or
liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments
were determined.

2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements
and related notes appearing in this Quarterly Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, our actual results could differ materially from the results
described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Forward-looking statements
represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to
update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required
by applicable law.
The
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Overview
The
Company owns and operates a portfolio of companies with a concentration in the industrial and recreational diving industry. The Company,
through its subsidiaries, designs, tests, manufactures, and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht-based scuba air compressors
and nitrox generation systems and scuba and water safety products in the United States and internationally.
The
Company has five subsidiaries focused on various sub-sectors:
●
Brownie’s
Third Lung - Surface Supplied Air (“SSA”)
●
BLU3,
Inc. - Ultra-Portable Tankless Dive Systems
●
LW
Americas - High Pressure Gas Systems
●
Submersible
Systems, Inc. - Redundant Air Tank Systems
●
Live
Blue, Inc. – Guided Tours and Retail
Our
wholly owned subsidiaries do business under their respective trade names on both a wholesale and retail basis from our headquarters and
manufacturing facility in Pompano Beach, Florida, a manufacturing facility in Huntington Beach, California, and a retail facility in
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Florida.
The
Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, designs, tests, and manufactures tankless dive systems, rescue air systems and yacht-based
self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (“SCUBA”) air compressor and nitrox generation fill systems and acts as the
exclusive distributor for North and South America for Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH (“L&W”) compressors in the high-pressure
breathing air and industrial gas markets. The Company is also building a guided tour operation that also include dive retail. Lastly,
The Company is the exclusive United States and Caribbean distributor for Chrysalis Trading CC, a South African manufacturer of fitness
and dive equipment, doing business as Bright Weights (“Bright Weights”), of a dive ballast system produced in South Africa.
Impact
of COVID-19 Pandemic
The
Company has previously been affected by temporary manufacturing closures and employment and compensation adjustments. The market continues
to suffer from the impacts of the pandemic via supply chain shortages and freight delays. The continued freight delays have and will
likely continue to result in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. Additionally, increased demand for personal
electronics has created a shortfall of microchip supply which are used in our battery powered products, and it is yet unknown how we
may be impacted.
We
continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve our business as appropriate, and we will have
to accurately project demand and infrastructure requirements globally and deploy our production, workforce and other resources accordingly.

a 67.4% increase in revenue for BLU3, Inc. from the continued expansion of its customer base as well as the addition of NOMAD to its
product line, an increase in LWA’s revenues of 30.2% as a result of the expansion of its customer base and the addition of
both SSI and LBI revenue which did not exist in 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, cost of net revenues was 64.1% as
compared with the cost of revenues of 65.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Included in cost of net revenues are royalty

SSA
Products segment
Net
revenue in this segment decreased 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The
decrease can be primarily attributed to a 5.4% decrease in the dealer segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to
the same period in 2021. The decrease in dealer orders can be attributed to the 23.2% drop for the three months ended June 30, 2022
as compared the same period in 2021. Many dealers increased purchases to prepare for the summer season during the first quarter of
2022, and held back with restocking orders as we believe there may be some trepidation regarding the economy. Affiliate sales, while
down for the three months ending June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 remain 32.2% over the six month
results at June 30, 2022. Direct to consumer sales have also decreased for the six months ending June 30, 2022 as compared to the
same period in 2021 we believe due to concerns over the economy.
Our
costs of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in this segment increased from 71.9% to 74.0% for the six months ended June 30,
2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the negative margin for the affiliate sales channel.
A
breakdown of the revenue channels for this segment are below. Direct to Consumer represent items sold via our website, trade shows and
walk-ins to our factory store. Dealer revenue represents sales to customers that we have dealer agreements that typically operate with
the lowers margin. Affiliates are resellers of our products that are not in a formal dealer arrangement.

High
Pressure Gas Systems segment
Sales
of high-pressure breathing air compressors increased 52.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the six months ended
June 30, 2021 as LWA was able to continue to supply its customers with their needs despite industry supply chain issues. The
reseller segment while decreasing 9.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year,
showed an overall increase of 25.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 with increased orders through distribution customers in
the US, South America, and the Caribbean. The Original Equipment Manufacturer segment continued to show growth with an increase of
205% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to several orders shipped
internationally to boat manufacturers. The direct to consumer segment, which includes yacht owners and direct to dive stores,
increased 199.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 and increased 49.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021.
Costs
of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in this segment showed a slight increase to 55.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022
as compared to 54.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase can be attributed to increased cost of transportation from
suppliers and to customers during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Ultra
Portable Tankless Dive Systems
Net
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 in the Ultra Portable Tankless Dive System segment showed growth of 94.5% as compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The growth in all segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 can be attributed
to the addition of the Nomad product line into those sales channels. The growth of 162.2% in the Dealer channel represents the continued
expansion of the international dealer base. The growth in this segment of 156.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 represents
sales to new dealers and seasonal buy-in as dealers prepared for the summer season.
Cost
of revenues from this segment as a percentage of net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 showed improvement over
both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the impact of the cost and production efficiencies of the Nomad dive
system and the resulting increase in margin as a percentage of revenue for the same periods in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Redundant
Air Tank Systems
Net
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 in the Redundant Air Tank Systems System segment was $721,935 and $399,479 for the three
months ended June 30, 2022. The margins for the three months ended June 30 ,2022 showed improvement at 36.0% as compared to 28.7% for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 as the margin for dealer sales improved during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 31.2% as
compared to 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Outside of the margin for repairs, dealer margins continue to be the lowest
margin segment as SSI must price goods in order for dealers to also generate profits. SSI has a worldwide customer base that includes
(1) commercial accounts with aircraft requiring redundant air systems for their pilots and passengers, such as helicopters flying to
oil rigs located in bodies of water (2) government accounts that are typically domestic and international military customers with egress
systems (3) dealer accounts that are resellers including, international distributors to the military, commercial account or dive shops,
and domestic and international dive shops that carry a spare air product (4) direct to consumer sales which are online sales and sales
via trade shows direct to consumer and (5) Company provided repairs and warranty repairs to all segments.

Payroll
increases for the three months ended March 31, 2022 can be attributed primarily to the addition of SSI payroll which accounted for 51%
of the increase with the remaining 49% attributable to increases in personnel at BLU3 to manage increasing revenue and production, as
well as slight increases in wages and staffing in the other divisions.
Non-Cash
Stock compensation expenses increased 4.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The
increase can be attributed to options granted to employees under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, and the vesting of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s incentive option. The increase of 9.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2021 is related to the same option vesting.
34
Professional
fees, including legal and other professional fees which the Company has paid with a combination of cash and common stock increased 26.4%
in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase can be attributed to an increase
in accounting fees related to the year-end audit. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 professional fees decreased 15.4% as compared
to the prior year, as a consultant was added to payroll in 2022.
The
increase in advertising expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 is attributable
to BLU3’s focus on social media, Amazon and trade show advertising.
Research
& Development Expenses (R&D Expenses)
R&D
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 79.5% and 80.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the
same periods in the prior year. The decrease can be primarily attributed to the completion of the R&D for BLU3’s NOMAD, as
it moved into production in the third quarter of 2021.
Other
Income/Expense
For
the six months ended June 30, 2022, other expenses totaled approximately $19,700 of interest expense as compared to other income of approximately
$164,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 consisted of a gain due to the settlement
of debt of $10,000, the forgiveness of a PPP loan less interest expense of approximately $5,600. The increase in interest expense can
be attributed to the Navitas loan that was funded in the second quarter of 2021, and the interest on the debt related to the acquisition
of SSI.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
had cash of $574,567 as of June 30, 2022. The following table summarizes total current assets, total current liabilities and working
capital at June 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021.

The

as the increases in inventory purchases reflected by an increase in inventory and prepaid assets which includes prepayments of inventory,
as the Company has experienced revenue growth and ramped up purchasing and production for the summer season. The increase in total
current liabilities primarily reflects the additional SSI liabilities as well as a significant increase in customer deposits, particularly
customer deposits with LWA.

Going
Concern
Our
unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern,
which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period
following the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The report of our independent registered public accounting
firm on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes an explanatory paragraph stating
the Company has net losses and an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
We
have a history of losses, and an accumulated deficit of $15,317,359 as of June 30, 2022. Despite a working capital surplus of
$1,792,309 at June 30, 2022, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the
Company’s ability to continue to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and continue to sustain adequate working
capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental
to the Company. We are continuing to engage in discussions with potential sources for additional capital, however, our ability to
raise capital is somewhat limited based upon our revenue levels, net losses and limited market for our common stock. If we fail to
raise additional funds when needed, or if we do not have sufficient cash flows from operations, we may be required to scale back or
cease certain of our operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition,
valuation of inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, and equity-based transactions. We also have other key accounting policies, which
involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note
2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Exchange Act. In designing
and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures
are met. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluations as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required
to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood
that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Our
management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2022
and based upon the such evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due
to the material weaknesses set forth below.
●
Insufficient
number and lack of qualified accounting department and administrative personnel and support;
●
Insufficient
written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to GAAP and
SEC disclosure requirements;
●
Insufficient
segregation of duties, oversight of work performed and lack of controls in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel;
●
Company’s
systems that impact financial information and disclosures have ineffective information technology controls;
●
Inadequate
controls surrounding revenue recognition, to ensure that all material transactions and developments impacting the financial statements
are reflected and properly recorded; and
●
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures was not sufficiently comprehensive due to limited personnel.
Subject
to sufficient resources, management expects to remediate the material weaknesses identified above as follows:
●
Management
has leveraged and will continue to leverage experienced consultants to assist with ongoing GAAP and SEC compliance requirements.
We intend to expand our finance department through the hiring of a certified public accountant to strengthen the segregation of duties,
internal controls and enhance our current staff.
●
Segregation
of duties is being analyzed and adjusted Company-wide, where possible. The Company is in the process of hiring additional personnel
in the accounting department, as well as the documentation of controls and procedures.
●
The
Company plans on evaluating various accounting systems to enhance its system controls.
We
will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are
committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not,
however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have added to our accounting
and administrative staff allowing improved internal control over financial reporting.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
