| 1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Organization and Nature of Operations
Cardiff Lexington Corporation (“Cardiff”) was originally incorporated on September 3, 1986 in Colorado as Cardiff International Inc. On November 10, 2005, Cardiff merged with Legacy Card Company, LLC and changed its name to Cardiff Lexington Corporation. On August 27, 2014, Cardiff redomiciled and became a corporation under the laws of Florida. On April 13, 2021, Cardiff redomiciled and became a corporation under the laws of Nevada.
Cardiff is an acquisition holding company focused on locating undervalued and undercapitalized companies, primarily in the healthcare industry, and providing them capitalization and leadership to maximize the value and potential of their private enterprises while also providing diversification and risk mitigation for stockholders. All of Cardiff’s operations are conducted through, and its income derived from, its various subsidiaries, which includes:
| · | Edge View Properties, Inc. (“Edge View”), which was acquired on July 16, 2014; | |
| · | Platinum Tax Defenders (“Platinum Tax”), which was acquired on July 31, 2018 and sold on November 10, 2023; and | |
| · | Nova Ortho and Spine, LLC (“Nova”), which was acquired on May 31, 2021. |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardiff and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Edge View, Platinum Tax and Nova (collectively, the “Company”). Subsidiaries shown as discontinued operations include Platinum Tax. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Subsidiaries discontinued are shown as discontinued operations.
Reverse Stock Split
On January 9, 2024, the Company effected a
All share and per share data throughout these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The total number of authorized shares of common stock did not change. As a result of the reverse stock split, an amount equal to the decreased value of the common stock was reclassified from “common stock” to “additional paid-in capital.”

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making estimates. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13,
“Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” In accordance with this standard, the Company recognizes an allowance for
credit losses for its trade receivables to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. This
allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset and are based on Current Expected Credit
Losses. Accounts receivable is reported on the balance sheet at the net amounts expected to be collected by the Company. Management
closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and recognized an additional allowance for credit losses in the amount of $
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property, equipment or leasehold improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes based on the following estimated useful lives:
| Classification | Useful Life |
| Equipment, furniture, and fixtures | |
| Medical equipment | |
| Leasehold improvements |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not amortized
but are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company’s impairment testing
of goodwill is performed separately from its impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment
on a reporting unit basis annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be
recoverable. Goodwill is tested first for impairment based on qualitative factors on an annual basis or in between if an event occurs
or circumstances change that indicate the fair value may be below its carrying amount, otherwise known as a ‘triggering event’.
An assessment is made of these qualitative factors as such to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value is less than
the carry amount, including goodwill. The annual evaluation for impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles and, if then needed after the
first step, Goodwill, is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows
and operating plans. The Company believes such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did

Valuation of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and construction in progress held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment 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 evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated 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 amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is its healthcare subsidiary, which records revenues from providing licensed and/or certified orthopedic procedures. Revenue is recognized at a point in time in accordance with ASC 606. The Company’s healthcare subsidiary does not have contract liabilities or deferred revenue as there are no amounts prepaid for services. The Company applies the following five-step ASC 606 model to determine revenue recognition:
| · | Identification of a contract with a customer | |
| · | Identification of the performance obligations in the contact | |
| · | Determination of the transaction price | |
| · | Allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations | |
| · | Recognition of revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. |
The Company applies the five-step model when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception and once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses services promised within each contract and determines those that are a performance obligation and assesses whether each promised service is distinct.
The Company’s contracts for both its contract and service fees each contain a single performance obligation (providing orthopedic services), as the promise to transfer the individual services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct, as a result, the entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation.
Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenues (net) when the patient receives orthopedic care services. The Company’s patient service contracts generally have performance obligations which are satisfied at a point in time. The performance obligation is for onsite or off-site care provided. Patient service contracts are generally fixed-price, and the transaction price is in the contract. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with the Company’s patients are satisfied; generally, at the time of patient care.

Established billing rates are not the same as actual amounts recovered for the Company’s healthcare subsidiary. They generally do not reflect what the Company is ultimately paid by the customer, insurance carriers and other payors, and therefore are not reported in the consolidated financial statements at that rate. The Company is typically paid amounts based on established charges per procedure with guidance from the annually updated Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) guidelines (a code set maintained by the American Medical Association through the CPT Editorial Panel), that designates relative value units and a suggested range of charges for each procedure which is then assigned a CPT code.
This fee is discounted to reflect the percentage paid to the Company “using a modifier” recognized by each insurance carrier for services, less deductible, co-pay, and contractual adjustments which are deducted from the calculated fee. The net revenue is recorded at the time the services are rendered.
Contract Fees (Non-PIP)
The Company has contract fees for amounts earned from its Non-Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) related procedures, typically car accidents, and are collected on a contingency basis. Historically, these cases were sold to a factor who bears the risk of economic benefit or loss. After selling patient cases to the factor, any additional funds collected by the Company were remitted to the factor.
Service Fees – Net (PIP)
The Company generates services fees from performing various procedures on the date the services are performed. These services primarily include slip and falls as well as smaller nominal Non-PIP services. Fees are collected primarily from third party insurance providers. These revenues are based on established insurance billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. These contractual adjustments vary by insurance company and self-pay patients. The Company computes these contractual adjustments and collection allowances based on its historical collection experience.
Completing the paperwork for each case and preparing it for billing takes approximately ten business days after a procedure is performed. The majority of claims are then filed electronically except for those remaining insurance carriers requiring paper filing. An initial response is usually received within four weeks from electronic filing and up to six weeks from paper filing. Responses may be a payment, a denial, or a request for additional information.
The Company’s healthcare revenues are generated from professional medical billings including facility and anesthesia services. With respect to facility and anesthesia services, the Company is the primary obligor as the facility and anesthesia services are considered part of one integrated performance obligation. Historically the Company receives 49% of collections from total gross billed. Accordingly, the Company recognized net healthcare service revenue as 49% of gross billed amounts. Historical collection rates are estimated using the most current prior 12-month historical payment and collection percentages.
Historically through April 2023, the Company’s healthcare subsidiary has had contractual medical receivable sales and purchase agreements with third party factors which result in approximately 54% reduction from the accounts receivables amounts when a receivable is sold to the factors. The Company evaluated the factored adjustments considering the actual factored amounts per patient on a quarterly interval, and the reductions from accounts receivable that were factored were recorded in finance charges as other expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company recognized advertising and marketing expense of $
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined 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. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 | Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. | |
| Level 2 | Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. | |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company accounts for its series N senior convertible preferred stock, series R convertible preferred stock, and series X senior convertible preferred stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares are classified as temporary equity within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB ASC. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB ASC, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did
FASB ASC Subtopic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” provides for the calculation of “Basic” and “Diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, warrants, and debts convertible into common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants are reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities. The diluted effect of debt convertibles is reflected utilizing the if converted method.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. Management is in continuous discussions with prospective investors and believes the raising of capital will allow the Company to fund its cash flow shortfalls and pursue new acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to it. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds, it may be required to curtail its operating plans. In addition, increases in expenses may require cost reductions. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future. Should the Company not be able to raise sufficient funds, it may cause cessation of operations.
Recent Accounting Standards
The FASB issued ASU 2023-07 on November 27, 2023. The amendments “improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.” In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable “investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance” and assess “potential future cash flows.” The Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on the consolidated financial statements and does not expect there to be any changes or impact to the financial statements.

Leases
ASC 842, “Leases”, requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases, A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position 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. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transaction, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at either the effective date (the “effective date method”) or the beginning of the earliest period presented (the “comparative method”) using a modified retrospective approach. Under the effective date method, the Company’s comparative period reporting is unchanged. In contrast, under the comparative method, the Company’s date of initial application is the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, and the Topic 842 transition guidance is then applied to all comparative periods presented. Further, under either transition method, the standard includes certain practical expedients intended to ease the burden of adoption. The Company adopted ASC 842, January 1, 2020, using the effective date method and elected certain practical expedients allowing the Company not to reassess:
| · | whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease; |
| · | lease classification for expired or existing leases; and |
| · | whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842. |
The Company also made the accounting policy decision not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.
The Company leases eleven medical facilities and
one vehicle as operating leases as of March 31, 2024. The Company recorded operating lease expenses of $

| 14. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. Management is not currently aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operating results.
| 15. | INCOME TAXES |
At March 31, 2024, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $24 million that expire in various years through the year 2039. Due to carryforwards of past net operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company has a deferred tax asset that consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates. Because of the Company’s lack of past earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
| 16. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had two reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by the authoritative guidance on Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
| (1) | Healthcare (Nova) | |
| (2) | Real Estate (Edge View) |
These segments are a result of differences in the nature of the products and services sold. Corporate administration costs, which include, but are not limited to, general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, are partially allocated to the three operating segments. Other revenue consists of nonrecurring items.
The healthcare segment provides a full range of diagnostic and surgical services for injuries and disorders of the skeletal system and associated bones, joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
The real estate segment consists of Edge View, a real estate company that owns five (5) acres zoned medium density residential (MDR) with 12 lots already platted, six (6) acres zoned high-density residential (HDR) that can be platted in various configurations to meet current housing needs, and twelve (12) acres zoned in Lemhi County as Agriculture that is available for further annexation into the City of Salmon for development, as well as a common area for landowners to view wildlife, provide access to the Salmon River and fishing in a two (2) acre pond.

Overview
We are an acquisition holding company focused on locating undervalued and undercapitalized companies, primarily in the healthcare industry, and providing them capitalization and leadership to maximize the value and potential of their private enterprises while also providing diversification and risk mitigation for our stockholders. Specifically, we have and will continue to look at a diverse variety of acquisitions in the healthcare sector in terms of growth stages and capital structures and we intend to focus our portfolio of subsidiaries approximately as follows: 80% will be targeted to established profitable niche small to mid-sized healthcare companies and 20% will be targeted to second stage startups in healthcare and related financial services (emerging businesses with a strong organic growth plan that is materially cash generative).
On May 31, 2021, we acquired Nova Ortho and Spine, LLC, or Nova, which operates a group of regional primary specialty and ancillary care facilities throughout Florida that provide traumatic injury victims with primary care evaluations, interventional pain management, and specialty consultation services. We focus on plaintiff related care are and a highly efficient provider of emergency medical condition, or EMC, assessments. We provide a full range of diagnostic and surgical services for injuries and disorders of the skeletal system and associated bones, joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. From sports injuries, to sprains, strains, and fractures, our doctors are dedicated to helping patients return to active lifestyles.

We also own a real estate company, Edge View Properties, Inc., or Edge View, which we acquired on July 16, 2014. Edge View owns five (5) acres zoned medium density residential (MDR) with 12 lots already platted, six (6) acres zoned high-density residential (HDR) that can be platted in various configurations to meet current housing needs, and twelve (12) acres zoned in Lemhi County as Agriculture that is available for further annexation into the City of Salmon for development, as well as a common area for landowners to view wildlife, provide access to the Salmon River and fishing in a two (2) acre pond. Management has invested years working to develop a new and exciting housing development in Salmon, Idaho and plans to enter into a joint venture agreement with a developer for this planned concept development.
All of our operations are conducted through, and our income derived from, our two subsidiaries.
Segments
As of March 31, 2024, we had two reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by the authoritative guidance on Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
| (1) | Healthcare (Nova) | |
| (2) | Real Estate (Edge View) |
These segments are a result of differences in the nature of the products and services sold. Corporate administration costs, which include, but are not limited to, general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, are partially allocated to the three operating segments. Other revenue consists of nonrecurring items.
The healthcare segment provides a full range of diagnostic and surgical services for injuries and disorders of the skeletal system and associated bones, joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
The real estate segment consists of Edge View, a real estate company that owns five (5) acres zoned medium density residential (MDR) with 12 lots already platted, six (6) acres zoned high-density residential (HDR) that can be platted in various configurations to meet current housing needs, and twelve (12) acres zoned in Lemhi County as Agriculture that is available for further annexation into the City of Salmon for development, as well as a common area for landowners to view wildlife, provide access to the Salmon River and fishing in a two (2) acre pond.
Management uses numerous tools and methods to evaluate and measure our subsidiaries’ success. To help succeed, management retains the prior owners of the subsidiaries and allows them to do what they do best is run the business. Additionally, management monitors key metrics primarily revenues and net income from operations.
Discontinued Operations
On November 10, 2023, we sold our financial services (tax resolution) business, Platinum Tax Defenders, or Platinum Tax, that we acquired on July 31, 2018, which was a full-service tax resolution firm located in Los Angeles, California. As part of the asset purchase agreement between us and the purchaser, the assets that were purchased included substantially all assets, rights, interests, and licenses, except for bank accounts in place prior to the sale, for the purchase consideration of 15% of cash collected by the purchaser within one year following the sale date.

Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, all of our revenue was generated by our healthcare segment, which generates revenue through a full range of diagnostic and surgical services. Our total revenue slightly decreased by $44,433, or 1.64%, to $2,661,966 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $2,706,399 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Cost of sales. Consists of surgical center and laboratory fees, physician and professional fees, salaries and wages and medical supplies. Our total cost of sales decreased by $8,141, or 0.85%, to $948,154 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $956,295 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Such decrease was primarily due to a decrease in surgical contracted services and laboratory fees.
Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, our total gross profit slightly decreased by $36,292, or 2.07%, to $1,713,812 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $1,750,104 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our total gross margin (percent of revenue) decreased from 64.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 64.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
| 46 |
Depreciation expense. Our depreciation expense was $3,365, or 0.13% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $4,635, or 0.17% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in depreciation expense was due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated.
Share based compensation expense. Our share-based compensation expense was $300,225, or 11.28% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due to stock issuances to an investor relation services to outside consultant, stock issued to board members and stock issued as compensation for new employment bonuses to management.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of accounting, auditing, legal and public reporting expenses, personnel expenses, including employee salaries, bonuses plus related payroll taxes and stock compensation expense, advertising expenses, professional advisor fees, bad debts, rent expense, insurance and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $203,309, or 20.58%, to $1,191,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $987,921 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 44.75% and 36.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Increases were primarily attributable to increased bad debt expense of $69,834 and increased salaries and wages of $193,135.
Total other expense. We had $390,784 in total other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to other expense, net, of $728,049 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of interest expense of $376,269, amortization of debt discounts of $13,515 and penalties and fees of $1,000. Other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of interest expense of $693,661, amortization of debt discounts of $17,983 and financing penalties and fees of $17,000, offset by a gain on debt refinance of forgiveness of $390 and other income of $205.
Discontinued operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $111,312 and $45,490, respectively.
Net loss. As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss was $283,104 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $15,991 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $267,113.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024, we had $1,253,552 in cash. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations, sales of securities, advances from stockholders and third-party and related party debt.
We believe, based on our operating plan, that current working capital and current and expected additional financing should be sufficient to fund operations and satisfy our obligations as they come due for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date. However, additional funds from new financing and/or future equity raises are required for continued operations and to execute our business plan and our strategy of acquiring additional businesses. The funds required to sustain operations ranges between $600,000 to $1 million and additional funds execute our business plan will depend on the size, capital structure and purchase price consideration that the seller of a target business deems acceptable in a given transaction. The amount of funds needed to execute our business plan also depends on what portion of the purchase price of a target business the seller of that business is willing to take in the form of seller notes or our equity or equity in one of our subsidiaries. Given these factors, we believe that the amount of outside additional capital necessary to execute our business plan on the low end (assuming target company sellers accept a significant portion of the purchase price in the form of seller notes or our equity or equity in one of our subsidiaries) ranges between $4 million to $8 million. If, and to the extent, that sellers are unwilling to accept a significant portion of the purchase price in seller notes and equity, then the cash required to execute our business plan could be as much as $10 million.
| 47 |
We intend to raise capital for additional acquisitions primarily through equity and debt financings. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. There is no guarantee that we will be able to acquire additional businesses under the terms outlined above.
The financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustment with respect to these uncertainties.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
For a description of the accounting policies that, in management’s opinion, involve the most significant application of judgment or involve complex estimation and which could, if different judgment or estimates were made, materially affect our reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 27, 2024.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2024. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which we are still in the process of remediating as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for the description of these weaknesses.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have evaluated the material weakness described above and our management and board of directors are committed to the design and successful implementation of internal control over financial reporting as promptly as possible. We currently plan to evaluate our updated internal controls design and determine whether the controls have operated effectively during 2024 in order to fully remediate the aforementioned material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the first quarter of 2024, we continued to implement the following remedial procedures:
| · | We are making necessary changes by providing training to our financial team and our other relevant personnel on the GAAP accounting guidelines applicable to financial reporting requirements. |
| · | We plan to implement proper documentation procedures for key functional areas, control objectives and our workflows. |
| · | We plan to reinforce effective compensating controls can improve the design of the current process with limited human resources. |
We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable, but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
