CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Any statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q about our expectations, beliefs, plans,
objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements
are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “believes,”
“will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,”
“continues” “intends,” “plans” and “would” or the negative of these terms or other comparable
terminology. For example, statements concerning financial condition, possible or assumed future results of operations, growth opportunities,
and plans are all forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates
and projections about our company, are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve substantial risks and uncertainty.
They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to differ materially from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking
statement. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Our business
and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties
inherent in our statements regarding:
●
compliance
with the extensive existing regulatory framework applicable to our industry or our failure to timely obtain and maintain regulatory
approvals and accreditation;
●
compliance
with continuous changes in applicable federal laws and regulations including pending rulemaking by the U.S. Department of Education;
●
the
effect of current and future Title IV Program regulations arising out of negotiated rulemakings, including any potential reductions
in funding or restrictions on the use of funds received through Title IV Programs;
●
successful
updating and expansion of the content of existing programs and developing new programs in a cost-effective manner or on a timely
basis;
●
uncertainties
regarding our ability to comply with federal laws and regulations regarding the 90/10 Rule and cohort default rates;
●
successful
implementation of our strategic plan;
●
our
inability to maintain eligibility for or to process federal student financial assistance;
●
regulatory
investigations of, or actions commenced against, us or other companies in our industry;
●
changes
in the state regulatory environment or budgetary constraints;
●
enrollment
declines or challenges in our students’ ability to find employment as a result of economic conditions;
●
maintenance
and expansion of existing industry relationships and develop new industry relationships;
●
a
loss of members of our senior management or other key employees;
●
uncertainties
associated with opening of new campuses and closing existing campuses;
●
uncertainties
associated with integration of acquired schools;
●
industry
competition;
●
the
effect of any cybersecurity incident; and
●
general
economic conditions.
All
of our forward-looking statements are as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q only. In each case, actual results may differ
materially from such forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will
prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties
referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other
documents or filings filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) could materially
and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake
or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or
projections or other circumstances affecting such forward-looking statements occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. Any public
statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements
contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include market data and certain industry data and forecasts, which we may obtain from internal company
surveys, market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications,
articles and surveys. Industry surveys, publications, consultant surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained
therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed.
While we believe that such studies and publications are reliable, we have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party
sources.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
For
The Three Months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
(Unaudited)
Note
1 - Nature of Business
For
purposes of these financial statements, “Legacy,”, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,”
or similar references refers to Legacy Education Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. Legacy
Education, LLC was formed on October 19, 2009 in the state of California as a limited liability company. The Company operates as career
institution that focuses on real-life training by utilizing educational practices in different job markets. The Company offers programs
in career paths such as healthcare, veterinary, medical information technology, business management, and green technology. The Company
is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (“ACCET”), and the Accrediting Bureau of Health
Education Schools (“ABHES”) and approved to operate in the state of California by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education
(“BPPE”). The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Legacy Education Inc. d/b/a High Desert Medical College
(“HDMC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Legacy Education Monterey LLC (“Monterey”) d/b/a Central Coast College
(“CCC”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Health Services, LLC d/b/a Integrity College of Health (“Integrity”).
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Reorganization Merger”), dated September 1, 2021, effective
as of September 3, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), Legacy Education Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Education
Inc. formed solely for the purpose of implementing the Reorganization Merger, merged with and into Legacy Education, LLC, with Legacy
Education, LLC surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Education Inc., a corporation formed on March 18,
2020 in the State of Nevada for the sole purpose of restructuring the Company from a member-owned Limited Liability Corporation to a
shareholder-owned C-Corporation. On the Effective Date, in exchange for each Class A Unit owned in Legacy Education, LLC, the members
of Legacy Education, LLC received one share of common stock in Legacy Education Inc. in a one for one exchange . The members immediately
prior to the Reorganization Merger became the 100 % owners of Legacy Education Inc. immediately following the Reorganization Merger.
HDMC
offers instruction in twenty nine programs including ultrasound technician, ultrasound technician associate of applied science degree,
medical billing and coding, vocational nursing, clinical medical assisting, pharmacy technician, dental assisting, medical administrative

The
accompanying consolidated financial statements, and all per share information contained herein, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect
the reverse stock split described in Note 12.
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principals
Principal
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HDMC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CCC and Integrity. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis
of Presentation Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The
accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year or any future period.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the interim information presented
not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed on October 1, 2024, for the year ended June
30, 2024.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
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 revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the assumptions
used in the evaluation of the Company’s distinct performance obligations, the valuation of equity instruments and allowance for
credit losses related to accounts receivable.
F- 6
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on reported consolidated net income.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments
are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Normal repairs
and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation
is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Furniture and fixtures, machinery, computer
equipment, and vehicles generally have estimated useful lives of ten , seven , four , and five years , respectively. Leasehold improvements
are depreciated over the shorter of their lease term or their useful life.
Leases
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations
by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current
GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize 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 on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2021, using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted
ASU 2016-02 on July 1, 2022.
The
Company has elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease
and will continue to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis. As a result of the adoption, on July 1, 2022, the Company recognized
a lease liability of approximately $ 5.7 million, which represented the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments using an
estimated incremental borrowing rate of 3.98 %. As of July 1, 2022, the Company recognized a right-to-use asset of approximately $ 5.3
million. Lease expense did not change materially as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02.
Goodwill
and Intangibles
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets (including intangibles) acquired on December
31, 2019 and January 15, 2019. The Company has implemented the Business Combinations Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.
Goodwill,
tradename, and accreditation are deemed to have an indefinite life, and course curriculum has a definite life of approximately 18 years.
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to, at a minimum, annual impairment tests. The Company
expenses costs to maintain or extend intangible assets as incurred.
The
Company reviews intangible assets (with a definite life), excluding goodwill, accreditation and tradenames, for impairment when events
or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We measure the recoverability of these assets by comparing
the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If the carrying value of the assets
are not recoverable, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
There were no impairments for the periods presented.
F- 7
The
Company tests goodwill, accreditation and trade names for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the asset may be impaired. There were no goodwill, accreditation or trade names impairments for the periods presented.
The
Company amortizes intangible assets with definite lives on a straight-line basis.
Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets for impairment, other than goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net 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 amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future
cash flows. The Company had no long-lived asset impairments as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount of consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company follows the five steps approach for
revenue recognition under ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract,
(iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize
revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The
Company identifies a contract for revenue recognition when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties
and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the collectability of consideration is probable. The Company
evaluates each contract to determine the number of distinct performance obligations in the contract, which requires the use of judgment.
The Company’s contracts include promises for educational services and course materials which are distinct performance obligations.
Tuition
revenue is primarily derived from postsecondary education services provided to students. Generally, tuition and other fees are paid upfront
and recorded in contract liabilities in advance of the date when education services are provided to the student. A tuition receivable
is recorded for the portion of tuition not paid in advance. In some instances, installment billing is available to students which reduces
the amount of cash consideration received in advance of performing the service. The contractual terms and conditions associated with
installment billing indicate that the student is liable for the total contract price, therefore mitigating the Company’s exposure
to losses associated with nonpayment. Tuition revenue is recognized ratably over the instruction period. The Company generally uses the
time elapsed method, an input measure, as it best depicts the simultaneous consumption and delivery of tuition services. Revenue associated
with distinct course materials is recognized at the point of time when control transfers to the student, generally when the materials
are delivered to the student. Revenue associated with lab services is recognized over the period of time when the service is performed.
The
Company’s refund policy may permit students who do not complete a course to be eligible for a refund for the portion of the course
they did not attend. Refunds generally result in a reduction of deferred revenue during the period that the student drops or withdraws
from a class.
The
transaction price is stated in the contract and known at the time of contract inception, as such there is variable consideration for
situations when a student drops from a program based on the Company’s refund policy and additional charges if a student requires
additional hours to complete the program beyond the contracted end date. The Company believes that its experience with these situations
is of little predictive value because the future performance of students is dependent on each individual and the amount of variable consideration
is highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence. Accordingly, no variable consideration has been included in
the transaction price or recognized as income until the constraint has been eliminated. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation
based on its standalone selling price. Any discounts within the contract are allocated across all performance obligations unless observable
evidence exists that the discount relates to a specific performance obligation or obligations in the contract. The Company generally
determines standalone selling prices based on prices charged to students.
F- 8
The
Company excludes from revenue taxes assessed by a governmental authority as these are agency transactions collected on their behalf from
the customer. Significant judgments include the allocation of the contract price across performance obligations, the methodology for
earning tuition ratably over the instruction period, estimates for the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price
as well as the determination of the impact of the constraints preventing the variable consideration from being recognized in revenue.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The
tuition and related revenue consist of the following during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

$ 10,366,934
Allowance
for Credit Losses
The
Company records an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal of its students
to make required payments, which includes the recovery of financial aid funds advanced to a student for amounts in excess of the student’s
cost of tuition and related fees. The Company determines the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of
its historical bad debt experience, current economic trends, and the aging of the accounts receivable and student status. The Company
applies reserves to its receivables based upon an estimate of the risk presented by the age of the receivables and student status. The
Company writes off account receivable balances of inactive students at the earlier of the time the balances were deemed uncollectible,
or one year after the revenue is generated. Bad debt expense is recorded as a general and administrative expense in the accompanying
statements of operations. The Company performs an analysis annually to determine which accounts are uncollectable and then writes them
off.
Refunds
The
Company pays or credits refunds within 45 days of a student’s cancellation or withdrawal for students who have completed 60 % or
less of the period of attendance based on a pro rata calculation. Once the student has completed more than 60 % of a period of attendance,
all Title IV funds are considered earned and no refunds are due to ED.
Advertising
The
Company expenses advertising cost as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $ 1,166,898 and $ 1,093,784 for the three months ended September
30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
The
Company utilizes ASC 718, Stock Compensation, related to accounting for share-based payments and, accordingly, records compensation
expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards. The
Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of
the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s
consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards using the Black-Scholes
model. This model requires the Company to estimate the expected volatility and value of its common stock and the expected term of the
stock options, all of which are highly complex and subjective variables. The expected life was calculated based on the simplified method
as described by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share-Based Payment. The Company’s estimate of expected volatility was
based on the volatility of peers. The Company has selected a risk-free rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities
with a maturity equivalent to the expected term of the options. The Company accounts for forfeitures upon occurrence.
F- 9
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, deferred, unearned tuition, debt and finance lease obligations. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments
approximate fair value.
FASB
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures
related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value 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.
ASC
820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level
1 — Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs;
Level
2 — Significant other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level
3 — Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
A
substantial portion of revenues and ending accounts receivable at June 30, 2024 and 2023 are a direct result of the Company’s participation
in Financial Student Aid (“FSA”) programs, which represents a primary source of student tuition. The FSA programs are subject
to political budgetary considerations. There is no assurance that funding will be maintained at current levels. The FSA programs are
subject to significant regulatory requirements. Any regulatory violation could have a material effect on the Company.
The
Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $ 250,000 . The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit concentration
risk exposure. The Company maintains cash balances in excess of these limits from time to time.
As
of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, $ 2.18 and $ 2.15 million, respectively, was maintained in a redeemable money market account bearing
interest at approximately 4.88 % per annum.
Commitments
and Contingencies
The
Company accrues for a contingent obligation when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable.
When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, the likelihood of any loss exposure is assessed. If it is probable that
a loss will result and the amount of the loss is estimable, the Company records a liability for the estimated loss. If the loss is not
probable or the amount of the potential loss is not estimable, the Company will disclose the claim if the likelihood of a potential loss
is reasonably possible and the amount of the potential loss could be material. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes
include tax, legal, and other regulatory matters, which are subject to change as events evolve, and as additional information becomes
available during the administrative and litigation process. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred.
Income
Taxes
GAAP
requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability if the Company has taken an uncertain
position that is more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the
Company’s tax positions and believes there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition
of a liability or disclosure in the financial statement.
F- 10
The
Company accounts for income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences
of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be realized.
The
Company expenses penalties and interest related to federal and state income taxes as incurred. Penalties, if any, are included in general
and administration expenses on the income statement. The estimated federal and state effective tax rates are 21 % and 8.84 %, respectively.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company has elected to be an emerging growth company as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”).
Included with this election, the Company has also elected to use the provisions within the JOBS Act that allow companies that go public
to continue to use the private company adoption date rules for new accounting policies. The Company will remain an emerging growth company
until the earlier of (i) the last day of the Company’s fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Company’s
initial public offering of its securities, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year (a) in which the Company total annual gross revenue of
at least $1.235 billion or (b) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and (iii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period .
Earnings
Per Share
ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation
of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic
EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method, and reflects the potential dilution that could occur
if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
The
following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to determine basic and diluted net income per common

the facility leases require the Company to pay various operating expenses of the facilities in addition to base monthly lease payments.
In certain cases, the Company has options available under its leases to renew, and certain leases contain ordinary rental escalations
on the space. Rent expense for the certain leases described above is recorded evenly over each lease term. The difference between rent
expense recorded and the amount paid is reflected as deferred rent on the accompanying balance sheets for those leases with rent escalation
clauses.
Because
the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present
value of the lease payments. The Company has elected the practical expedient to use the risk-free rate as its incremental borrowing rate.

Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity
Reverse Stock Split
On
September 9, 2024, our stockholders approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation to effect a 1-for-2 reverse split of our common
stock. The amendment to our certificate of incorporation was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on September 9, 2024. The consolidated
financial statements, and all share and per share information contained herein, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse
stock split.
As
of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company had 110,000,000 shares of authorized capital, par value $ 0.001 , of which 100,000,000
shares are designated as common stock, and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, which have liquidation preference over
the common stock and are non-voting.
Equity
Transactions
On
September 27, 2024, the Company completed its initial public offering of 2,500,000 shares, priced at $ 4.00 per share.
No
shares were issued during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
As
of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 the Company had 11,867,149 and 9,291,149 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, and
no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Note
13 - Share-Based Compensation Plans
Stock
Options
The
Company utilizes ASC 718, Stock Compensation, related to accounting for share-based payments and, accordingly, records compensation
expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards. The
Black Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the options granted. This option pricing model requires a number
of assumptions, of which the most significant are: expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate, and the
expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). The Company estimated a volatility
factor utilizing a weighted average of comparable published volatilities of its peers. The Company applied the simplified method to determine
the expected term of stock-based compensation grants.
In
prior years, the Company had granted time vested options to purchase shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $ 0.52 -
$ 1.80 on
the date of grant by the Board. These options vest ratably over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of
grant and the fair value of these options were calculated using the Black-Scholes Merton model.
On
April 1, 2024, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,425,171 shares of its common stock at an exercise price
of $ 3.74 per share to employees, directors, consultants and non-employee service providers pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.
In
August 2024, 76,000 stock options were exercised at $ 0.52 per share of common stock.
On
September 27, 2024, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 250,000
shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $ 4.00
per share to employees, directors, consultants and non-employee service providers pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These options vest ratably over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of grant and the fair
value of these options were calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model.

Note
14 - Other Commitments and Contingency
Regulatory
In
order for students to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs, the Company is required to maintain certain standards
of financial responsibility and administrative capability. In addition, the Company is accredited with ACCET and ABHES and approved
by other agencies and must comply with rules and regulations of the accrediting body. As a result, the Company may be subject from
time to time to audits, investigations, claims of noncompliance or lawsuits by governmental agencies, regulatory bodies, or third
parties. While there can be no assurance that such matters will not occur and if they do occur will not have a material adverse
effect on these financial statements, management believes that the Company has complied in all material respects with all regulatory
requirements as of the date of the financial statements.
The
Company is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governmental agencies and accrediting bodies. In particular, the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (the “Higher Education Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder by ED, subject
the Company to significant regulatory scrutiny on the basis of numerous standards that schools must satisfy in order to participate in
the various federal student financial assistance programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act.
Composite
Score
As
described above, ED requires institutions to meet standards of financial responsibility. ED deems an institution financially responsible
when the composite score is at least 1.5. The Company’s composite score was 3.0 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s
composite score calculation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 has not been completed as of the date of these financial statements
and is due on December 31, 2024.
90/10
Disclosure
The
Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from student financial aid received by its students under the Title IV programs
administered by ED pursuant to the Higher Education Act. To continue to participate in the student financial aid programs, the Company
must comply with the regulations promulgated under the Higher Education Act. The regulations restrict the proportion of cash receipts
for tuition and fees from eligible programs to not more than 90% from Title IV programs (the “90/10 revenue test”). If an
institution fails to satisfy the test for one year, its participation status becomes provisional for two consecutive fiscal years. If
the test is not satisfied for two consecutive years, eligibility to participate in Title IV programs is lost for at least two fiscal
years. Using ED’s cash-basis, regulatory formula under the 90/10 Rule, as in effect for its 2023 fiscal year, HDMC, CCC and Integrity
derived 84.53%,75.48% and 88.14% for its 90/10 revenue from Title IV program funds, respectively. The 90/10 calculation for fiscal year
ended June 30, 2024 has not yet been completed as of the date of these financial statements and is due on December 31, 2024.
Litigation
The
Company does not believe it is a party to any other pending or threatened litigation arising from services currently or formerly performed
by the Company. To the extent that there may be other pending or threatened litigation that management is unaware of, they do not believe
there to be any possible claims that could have a material adverse effect on their business, results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM
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 the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion
and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially
from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified
below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2024 as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC. All amounts
in this report are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Throughout
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or
“Legacy,” refer to Legacy Education Inc.
Overview
We
provide career-focused, post-secondary education services to students at all stages of adult life, from recent high school graduates
to working parents, through our accredited academic institutions: High Desert Medical College, which we acquired in July 2010, Central
Coast College, which we acquired in January 2019, and Integrity College of Health. On December 31, 2019, we entered into a Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement with the sole member of Integrity. We purchased from the sole member of Integrity on that date 24.5% of her
interest and obtained an exclusive option to acquire her remaining membership interest upon payment of $100, which was exercised on September
15, 2020. For purposes of our financial statements, the acquisition of Integrity is deemed to have been effective as of December 31,
2019.
High Desert Medical College
HDMC
was established in the State of California in 2002 and began offering classes in 2003. It started with campuses in Lancaster, California,
and added its first branch in 2008 in Bakersfield, California. Due to enrollment growth and high demand for its services, HDMC expanded
to add a branch campus in Temecula, California campus in order to accommodate 250 to 400 additional students. HDMC offers UT, VN, VN

Recent Developments
Regulatory Updates
Acquisition
Agreement with Contra Costa Medical Career College
As
previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, on October 22, 2024, Legacy Education Antioch, LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Legacy LLC (as defined herein) (the “Buyer”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”)
with Legacy Education Inc. (the “Company”), Legacy Education, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Legacy
LLC” and together with the Company and the Buyer, the “Buyer Parties”), Contra Costa Medical Career College, Inc. (“CCMCC”),
Contra Costa Medical Career College Online, Inc. (“CCMCC Online” and together with CCMCC, “Sellers”) and, solely
with respect to certain portions of the APA, Stacey Orozco and Bulmaro Orozco, the sole owners CCMCC and CCMCC Online (the “CCMCC
Transaction”).
When
a company acquires an institution that is eligible to participate in the Title IV Programs, like CCMCC, the acquisition generally will
result in the institution undergoing a change of ownership resulting in a change of control as defined by ED and under the rules of other
educational agencies and accreditors. Upon such a change, an institution’s eligibility to participate in the Title IV Programs
is generally suspended until it has applied for recertification by ED as an eligible school under its new ownership, which requires that
the school also re-establish its state authorization and accreditation. ED may temporarily and provisionally certify an institution seeking
approval of a change of control under certain circumstances while ED reviews the institution’s application. The temporary provisional
certification typically remains in effect on a month-to-month basis during ED’s review of the application as long as the school
timely submits certain documentation during the course of ED’s review. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of ED’s review
of the change of ownership of CCMCC.
The
time required for ED to act on such an application may vary substantially. ED recertification of an institution following a change
of control will be on a provisional basis if ED approves the institution’s application and could contain restrictions or
conditions depending on the outcome of its review of the institution under the new ownership including its administrative capability
and financial stability. Under ED regulations that took effect July 1, 2023, an institution must submit certain information and
documentation at least 90 days in advance of the change in ownership including, for example, notice to current and prospective
students of the planned change in ownership. The parties have submitted this documentation to ED. If ED contends that the
documentation is insufficient and we are unable to take timely corrective action, we could be required to delay the closing of the
transaction.
The
approval processes for state and accrediting agencies vary in scope and timing with some agencies requiring approval prior to the acquisition
and others not conducting their review until after the acquisition has taken place. With regard to the agencies that accredit CCMCC and
CCMCC Online, authorize them to operate in the state of California, or approve their programs:
●
California
Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (“BPPE”) : Institutions
that are licensed by BPPE by means of accreditation, like CCMC, are required to notify BPPE of the change within 30 days of the change and demonstrate
that the substantive change was made in accordance with the institution’s accreditation standards.
2
●
Accrediting
Council for Continuing Education and Training (“ACCET”) : ACCET accreditation standards require that institutions
undergoing a change in ownership or control submit notice at least ten days prior to a prospective agreement for the change. ACCET
also requires submission of an application for approval of the change in ownership or control within ten days following the change.
●
California
State Approving Agency for Veterans Education (“CSAAVE”) : CSAAVE requires approved institutions to make a
post-change submission to CSAAVE for approval of the change when there has been a material change to the institution’s current
approval.
●
Accreditation
Bureau of Health Education Schools (“ABHES”) : ABHES requires institutions that hold ABHES programmatic
accreditation to notify it of any change in organizational oversight or legal structure, and to submit a completed application for
change in legal status, ownership, or control within five days after the change.
●
California
Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (“BVNPT”) : The parties plan to provide notice
to BVNPT after the transaction occurs and to respond to any subsequent instructions from the agency.
●
California
Department of Public Health, Laboratory Field Services (“CDPH”) : CDPH requires certain training programs
undergoing a change of ownership to notify CDPH within 30 days after the change has occurred and submit a new application package.
If
agencies require us to obtain approvals in connection with the CCMCC Transaction, we will be required to undergo an application process
for approvals from the applicable agencies and could be subject to conditions or restrictions (or loss of approval) depending on the
outcome of the approval process. We will be required to make or obtain notices and/or approvals prior to the CCMCC Transaction from those
agencies that require notice and/or approval to be made or obtained prior to the occurrence of a change in ownership or control. If we
move forward with the CCMCC Transaction without making or obtaining required pre-closing notices and approvals, we could be subject to
sanctions by the applicable agencies including loss of CCMCC’s approvals from these agencies.
Key
Financial Metrics
Revenue
Tuition
revenue is primarily derived from postsecondary education services provided to students. Generally, tuition and other fees are paid upfront
and recorded in contract liabilities in advance of the date when education services are provided to the student. A tuition receivable
is recorded for the portion of tuition not paid in advance. In some instances, installment billing is available to students which reduces
the amount of cash consideration received in advance of performing the service. The contractual terms and conditions associated with
installment billing indicate that the student is liable for the total contract price, therefore mitigating the Company’s exposure
to losses associated with nonpayment. Tuition revenue is recognized ratably over the instruction period. The Company generally uses the
time elapsed method, an input measure, as it best depicts the simultaneous consumption and delivery of tuition services. Revenue associated
with distinct course materials is recognized at the point of time when control transfers to the student, generally when the materials
are delivered to the student. Revenue associated with lab services is recognized over the period of time when the service is performed.
Enrollments
Enrollments
are a function of the number of continuing students at the beginning of each period and new enrollments during the period, offset by
students who either graduated or withdrew during the period.
Costs
and expenses
Educational
service. This expense consists primarily of costs related to the administration and delivery of educational programs by our academic
institutions. This expense category includes salaries, benefits, share-based compensation, student books, student supplies and occupancy
costs.
3
General
and administrative. This expense includes bad debt expense, share-based compensation, legal and professional fees, insurance, accreditation
fees, and travel of employees engaged in corporate management, finance, human resources, compliance and other corporate functions. This
expense also includes marketing and advertising costs, which are expensed in the fiscal year incurred.
Depreciation
and amortization . This expense reflects depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of assets under capital
leases and amortization of intangible assets.
Interest
expense
This
expense reflects interest paid under notes issued to our investors, IRS interest, non-cash interest related to unit option grants, interest
related to notes associated with CCC, and other debt related interest.
Interest
income
This
income relates to interest received from investments.
Factors
Affecting Comparability
We
believe the following factors have had, or can be expected to have, a significant effect on the comparability of recent or future results
of operations:
Seasonality
Our
operations are generally subject to seasonal trends. We generally experience a seasonal increase in new enrollments during the first
quarter of our fiscal year, as well as during the third quarter each year, when most other colleges and universities begin their fall
semesters and subsequent to holiday break. While we enroll students throughout the year, our second quarter revenue generally is lower
than other quarters due to the holiday season.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions
on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the evaluation of the Company’s distinct performance obligations, the valuation
of equity instruments and valuation allowances for credit losses related to accounts receivable.
Allowance
for credit losses
We
record an allowance for doubtful credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal of our students
to make required payments, which includes the recovery of financial aid funds advanced to a student for amounts in excess of the student’s
cost of tuition and related fees. We determine the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of our historical
bad debt experience, current economic trends, and the aging of the accounts receivable and student status. We apply reserves to our receivables
based upon an estimate of the risk presented by the age of the receivables and student status. We write off account receivable balances
of inactive students at the earlier of the time the balances were deemed uncollectible, or one year after the revenue is generated. Bad
debt expense is recorded as a general and administrative expense in the income statement. The Company performs an analysis annually to
determine which accounts are uncollectable and write them off.
4
Impairment
of long-lived assets
We
evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets for impairment, other than goodwill, 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 measured by a comparison
of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net 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 amount of the assets exceeds the fair
value of the assets. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. We
had [no long-lived asset impairments as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.]

GAAP
requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by us and recognize a tax liability if we have taken an uncertain position that is
more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed our tax positions and
believes there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in
the financial statement.
Corporate
tax applies to corporations and limited liability companies that elect to be treated as corporations. The federal income tax rate for
c-corporations is 21% and the state tax rate is 8.84%, and it applies to net taxable income from business activity in California.
Corporations
are not subject to the state’s franchise tax, but they are subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) of 6.65%,
which limits the effectiveness of a business writing off expenses against income to lower its corporate tax rate. C-corporations pay
the state corporate tax of 8.84% or AMT of 6.65%, depending on whether they claim net taxable income.
We
account for income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences
of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be realized.
Share
Based Compensation
The
Company utilizes ASC 718, Stock Compensation, related to accounting for share-based payments and, accordingly, records compensation
expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards. The
Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of
the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s
consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards using the Black-Scholes
model. This model requires the Company to estimate the expected volatility and value of its common stock and the expected term of the
stock options, all of which are highly complex and subjective variables. The expected life was calculated based on the simplified method
as described by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share-Based Payment. The Company’s estimate of expected volatility was
based on the volatility of peers. The Company has selected a risk-free rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities
with a maturity equivalent to the expected term of the options. The Company accounts for forfeitures upon occurrence.
Goodwill
and Other Indefinite-lived Assets
We
test goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the asset may be impaired. There were no goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments for the periods
presented, and based on current qualitative impairment tests, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not as risk of
failing.

Revenue .
Our revenue was approximately $14.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to approximately $10.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $3.6 million, or approximately 35.1%. The increase is primarily
due to a 25.4% increase in ending enrollment from 2,024 to 2,539 supported by a 23.3 increase in starts from 627 to 773 in the quarter compared to prior year.
Additionally, we experienced favorable program mix to higher earning programs within the quarter.
Educational
services . Our educational services expense was approximately $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared
to approximately $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or approximately
25.7%. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased instructional and staffing required to support the increase in enrollments
as well as increased rent and externship fees.
General
and administrative expense. Our general and administrative expense was approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 2024 compared to approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $0.8 million,
or approximately 25.7%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in marketing expense, professional fees and bad debt expense.
Of the total general and administrative expense, $1.2 million and $1.1 million relate to marketing expense relate for the first quarter
of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Depreciation
and amortization. Our depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2024 compared to approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest
expense . Our interest expense was approximately $0.0 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to approximately $0.0
for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Income
tax expense. Our income tax expense was approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to approximately
$0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $0.4 million, or approximately 90.9%. The increase
is primarily attributable to increase in income.
Net
Income. Our net income was approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to approximately $1.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $1.0 million, or approximately 95.5%, due to the
reasons mentioned above.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
cash and cash equivalents were approximately $21.5 million and $10.4 million as of September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
We
are not party to a revolving line of credit or other debt facility.
Based
on our current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe that our cash flow from operations, the proceeds from our initial
public offering and other sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents, will provide adequate funds for ongoing operations,
planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Capital
expenditures were approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Title
IV and other government funding
A
significant portion of our revenue is derived from student tuition payments funded by the Title IV Programs. As such, the timing of disbursements
under the Title IV Programs is based on federal regulations and our ability to successfully and timely arrange financial aid for our
students. Title IV Program funds are generally provided in multiple disbursements before we earn a significant portion of tuition and
fees and incur related expenses over the period of instruction. Students must apply for new Title IV Program loans and grants each academic
year. These factors, together with the timing of our students beginning their programs, affect our operating cash flow.
Financial
responsibility
Based
on the most recent fiscal year-end financial statements, we satisfied the composite score requirement of the financial responsibility
test which institutions must satisfy in order to participate in the Title IV Programs.
Cash
Flow Activities for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Operating
activities
Net
cash provided by operating activities was approximately $3.2 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024,
and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.0 million is primarily attributable to an increase in earnings and an increase
of approximately $2.7 million related to deferred unearned tuition.
Investing
activities
Net
cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and approximately $0.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $0.1 million.
Financing
activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities was approximately $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and net cash used
of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $8.4 million due to the net
proceeds of $7.9 million from our initial public offering (“IPO”).

7
Impact of Inflation
We
believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and
2023. There can be no assurance that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
Segment Information
We
operate in one reportable segment as a single educational delivery operation using a core infrastructure that serves the curriculum and
educational delivery needs of our institution’s students regardless of geography. Our chief operating decision maker, our CEO and
President, manages our operations as a whole, and our chief operating decision maker does not evaluate expenses or operating income information
on a component level.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations
by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current
GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize 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 on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2021, using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted
ASU 2016-02 on July 1, 2022. The Company has elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with terms of 12 months or less
at the inception of the lease and will continue to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis. As a result of the adoption, on July
1, 2022, the Company recognized a lease liability of approximately $5.7 million, which represented the present value of the remaining
minimum lease payments using an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 3.98%. As of July 1, 2022, the Company recognized a right-to-use
asset of approximately $5.3 million. Lease expense did not change materially as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 provides guidance for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on
an estimate of current expected credit losses model. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.
Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2022. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on July 1, 2023 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
August 2020, 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 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.
This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity,
and also improves and amends the related earnings per share guidance for both Subtopics. The ASU will be effective for smaller reporting
companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption
is permitted. We adopted 2020-06 on July 1, 2024 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.

JOBS Act
On
April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take
advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting
standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those
standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We
have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying
with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act.
As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for
complying with new or revised accounting standards.
We
are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS
Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain
of these exemptions, including, without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls
over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report
providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will
remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual
gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more, as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the Securities and Exchange Commission
to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers during its most recently completed fiscal year; (ii) the last
day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering; (iii) the date on
which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed
to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The
Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined
in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures”
as of September 30, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and
procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a
company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including
its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and recognizes that any control and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance
that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of September 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control
There
have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations
on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how
well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management
is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
