−Removed: of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods.
−Removed: In applying these critical accounting policies, our
−Removed: management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in making certain estimates.
−Removed: Actual results may differ
−Removed: from these estimates.
−Removed: define critical accounting policies as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and which may potentially

−Removed: In applying these critical accounting policies, our

−Removed: long-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC No.
−Removed: 350, Intangibles-Goodwill
−Removed: and Other (“ASC No.
−Removed: 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating
−Removed: segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change
−Removed: that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carry value.
−Removed: Application of the goodwill impairment
−Removed: test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment
−Removed: of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.
−Removed: We test goodwill annually in December, unless

−Removed: of Long-lived Assets
−Removed: periodically evaluate whether the carrying value of property and equipment has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying
−Removed: value of those assets may not be recoverable.
−Removed: The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
−Removed: expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.
−Removed: If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss
−Removed: is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.
−Removed: impairment analyses require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting
−Removed: useful lives of the assets, assessing the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent
−Removed: in future cash flows.
−Removed: If the carrying value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted
−Removed: techniques, and may use more than one method, including, but not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales and undiscounted cash

+Added: over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination.
+Added: Goodwill and long-lived intangible assets are tested
+Added: for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC No.
+Added: 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC
+Added: 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level
+Added: below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely
+Added: than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carry value.
+Added: Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment,
+Added: including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting
+Added: units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.
+Added: We test goodwill annually in December, unless an event occurs that
+Added: would cause us to believe the value is impaired at an interim date.
+Added: See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
+Added: 2023, for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
+Added: Intangible assets with finite useful lives are
+Added: amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
+Added: that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
+Added: Impairment of Long-lived Assets
+Added: We periodically evaluate whether the carrying
+Added: value of property and equipment has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.
+Added: The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual
+Added: disposition of the asset.
+Added: If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s
+Added: carrying value over its fair value.
+Added: Our impairment analyses require management to
+Added: apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets, assessing
+Added: the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows.
+Added: If the carrying
+Added: value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one
+Added: method, including, but not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales and undiscounted cash flow models.
+Added: If actual results are not
+Added: consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to an
+Added: impairment charge in the future.
+Added: Debt with Equity-linked Features
+Added: We may issue debt that has separate warrants, conversion features,
+Added: or other equity-linked attributes.
+Added: Debt with warrants – When we issue
+Added: debt with warrants, we treat the warrants as a debt discount, record as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortize the balance
+Added: over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in our consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: If the debt is retired early, the
+Added: associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
The debt is treated as conventional debt.
−Removed: determine the value of the non-complex warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) using the
−Removed: stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the volatility of our stock.
−Removed: For warrants with complex terms, we use the binomial lattice model to estimate their fair value.
−Removed: Debt - When we issue debt with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to
−Removed: be treated as a derivative.
−Removed: If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we
−Removed: estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative using Black-Scholes upon the date of issuance, using the stock price on the

−Removed: of Debt - When we change the terms of existing notes payable, we evaluate the amendments under ASC 470-50, Debt Modification and
−Removed: Extinguishment to determine whether the change should be treated as a modification or as a debt extinguishment.
−Removed: This evaluation includes
−Removed: analyzing whether there are significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the note.
−Removed: If the change is deemed insignificant
−Removed: then the change is considered a debt modification, whereas if the change is substantial the change is reflected as a debt extinguishment.
−Removed: estimate the fair value of equity-based instruments issued to employees or to third parties for services or goods using Black-Scholes

−Removed: the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to
−Removed: be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing
−Removed: so, judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process including identifying performance obligations in the
−Removed: contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to
−Removed: each separate performance obligation.
−Removed: following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
+Added: We determine the value of the non-complex warrants
+Added: using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) using the stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free
+Added: interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the volatility of our stock.

+Added: Convertible Debt - When we issue debt
+Added: with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative.
+Added: If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we estimate the fair value of
+Added: the convertible debt derivative using Black-Scholes upon the date of issuance, using the stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free
+Added: interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the estimated volatility of our stock.
+Added: Modification of Debt - When we change
+Added: the terms of existing notes payable, we evaluate the amendments under ASC 470-50, Debt Modification and Extinguishment to determine
+Added: whether the change should be treated as a modification or as a debt extinguishment.
+Added: This evaluation includes analyzing whether there
