ENERTECK CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARY,

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Nature of Operations:

 

EnerTeck Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, EnerTeck Chemical Corp. (“EnerTeck Sub”) (collectively referred to as the “Company”) are headquartered in Houston, Texas. The Company specializes in the sales, marketing and manufacture of a fuel borne catalytic engine treatment for diesel engines known as EnerBurn®. The use of EnerBurn in diesel engines improves fuel economy, lowers smoke, and decreases engine wear and the dangerous emissions of both Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and microscopic airborne solid matter (particulates). Principal target markets have included the trucking, heavy construction, maritime shipping, railroad and mining industries, as well as federal, state and international government applications. Key uncertainties and risks to the Company include, but are not limited to, if and how quickly the EnerBurn technology is accepted by the market and the effects future technological changes and environmental regulatory requirements may have on the need for diesel fuel additives.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q, the financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. The financial statements contained in this report are unaudited and have not been reviewed by an independent public accountant as required by Regulation S-X but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2022 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory primarily consists of market ready EnerBurn plus raw materials required to manufacture the products. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the average cost method.

 

Finished product costs amounted to approximately $77,000 and $79,000 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and includes required blending costs to bring the Company’s products to their finished state.

 

Accounts Receivable and Expected Credit Losses

 

Account receivables represent uncollateralized obligations due from customers of the Company and are recorded at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. The Company calculates this allowance based on historical write-offs, level of past due accounts and relationships with and economic status of the customers. Accounts are written off as bad debts when all collection efforts have failed, and the account is deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable balances as of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 are $8,393, $6,950 and $0, respectively.

The Company incorporated the measurement of expected credit losses on accounts receivable under the new methodology using a forward-looking approach that incorporates lifetime expected credit losses based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company reviews customer accounts using various factors, including but not limited to the customer’s current financial condition, ability to pay and the volume and level of historical write-offs. Based on the Company’s review of these factors, management has provided allowances for doubtful accounts of $0, $6,722 and $6,722 as of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FASB ASC 350 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Specifically, FASB ASC 350 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired should be accounted for in consolidated financial statements upon their acquisition, as well as how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The statement requires the Company to evaluate its intellectual property each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite life. In addition, the Company tests its intellectual property for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The statement requires intangible assets with finite lives to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable and that a loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible exceeds its fair value. No impairment expense was recorded for these assets at September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

The Company has determined its intangible assets to have a finite life of 12 years. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $3,125 and $3,125, respectively and $9,375 and $9,375 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively Topic 606) which creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope. The core principle of Topic 606 is that a reporting entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the reporting entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services.

 

While the Company has had some direct customers over the years, the principal method of selling the Company’s product EnerBurn is through the use of independent distributors, for both domestic and international markets. The transaction price for each sale is explicitly stated within the contract with a customer. The Company does not accept returns nor does it provide warranty on its product’s performance, as control of performance is based on the proper utilization by the final user. Normal payment terms for domestic sales to both customers and distributors shipping within the United States are net 30 days. All foreign shipments are cash in advance of shipment from the Company’s location. The Company’s sole performance obligation to customers and distributors is the manufacturing and shipment of EnerBurn. Revenues from sales of the Company’s product are recognized at the point when a customer or distributor order has been completed and shipped. Sales of all product are f.o.b. shipping point. All sales contracts between the individual distributor and end customer are the responsibility of the individual distributor and the amount of mark up above the distributors’ wholesale price per unit is the purview of the distributor.

 

The Company may from time to time enter into contracts to sell exclusive distributorship rights to certain markets for a fee. The contracts typically contain a term of market exclusivity as well as other performance obligations. The Company has determined the performance obligations on these types of contracts are satisfied evenly over the term of the contract and recognizes revenue evenly over the term of the contract. For such contracts that were classified as deferred revenue at the beginning of 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $695 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The remaining performance obligations on these contracts as of September 30, 2022 was $0. There were no such contracts entered into in 2023, consequently, revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0, nor were there any remaining performance obligations as of September 30, 2023.

As stated above, the Company does not accept returns nor does it provide warranty on its product’s performance, as control of performance is based on the proper utilization by the final user. The Company periodically tests the product manufactured prior to shipment for its proprietary quality standards and guarantees to the distributors that the product will always maintain the level of strict quality standard that is integral to the performance of its product for the end customer. The Company will provide a Certificate of Analysis, (“C of A”) on each shipment of its product, if requested for the customer. The C of A provides proof that the product is manufactured to meet chemical specifications that insure performance standards.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold includes costs related to the manufacture of the Company’s product EnerBurn. The primary costs included are raw materials that are mixed to produce the finished product that is then sold to customers and/or distributors. Other costs included are packaging and freight.

 

Going Concern

 

In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Going Concern, management evaluates whether relevant conditions and events that, when considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. When relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, initially indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued (and therefore they raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern), management evaluates whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those conditions and events, when implemented, will alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are considered only to the extent that 1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and 2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred recurring net losses of $223,169 and $291,276, respectively, and $871,226 and $856,937 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Further, most of the Company’s notes payable are overdue and payment may be demanded at any time. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents

 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company has been able to obtain cash in the past through private placements and issuing promissory notes and believes that these avenues will remain available to the Company. These financings are intended to mitigate the substantial doubt raised by the Company’s historical operating results and satisfying estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. However, there is no certainty that additional financing can be obtained in the future at terms acceptable to the Company.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables. Estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their life will be required to be recorded at inception, using a forward-looking methodology that incorporates lifetime expected credit losses that are based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company may review customer accounts using various factors, including but not limited to the customer’s current financial condition, ability to pay and the volume and level of historical write-offs.

 

The Company’s adoption of ASC 326 did not require prior-period adjustment, nor is there a material impact to current results.

NOTE 3 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for share-based payments that are considered to be participating securities within the definition provided by the standard. All share-based payment awards that contained non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, were designated as participating securities and included in the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 4,940,000 stock warrants were excluded from diluted earnings per share because they are considered anti-dilutive.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 704,193 and 1,235,070 stock options, respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share because they are considered anti-dilutive.

 

Further, the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 exclude potential shares related to the outstanding convertible notes payable, which if converted, would be anti-dilutive and would have a significant impact on the total number of shares outstanding, once exercised.

Stock Options

 

In September 2003, shareholders of the Company approved an employee stock option plan (the “2003 Option Plan”) authorizing the issuance of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The 2003 Option Plan is intended to give the Company greater ability to attract, retain, and motivate officers, key employees, directors and consultants; and is intended to provide the Company with the ability to provide incentives more directly linked to the success of the Company’s business and increases in shareholder value. During the third quarter of 2013, the board of directors increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2003 Option Plan from 1,000,000 to 1,250,000 which was increased by the board to 1,750,000 during the third quarter of 2018.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has historically incurred net losses and therefore has no tax liability or tax expense. At September 30, 2023, the Company’s net deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance against it.

 

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY NOTES AND ADVANCES

 

On July 7, 2009, the Company entered into a $100,000 unsecured promissory note with an officer, due on demand. Interest is payable at 12% per annum. Also, on December 11, 2009, the Company entered into a $50,000 note with a shareholder/director. Interest is 5% per annum. The principal balance of the note was due on the earlier of December 11, 2013, or upon completion by the Company of equity financing in excess of $1.0 million in gross proceeds. Interest on the loan is payable on the maturity date at the rate of 5% per annum. These notes are now overdue for payment.

 

On June 1, 2010, the Company entered into a $50,000 convertible promissory note with a shareholder/director which was due on June 1, 2013 and accrues interest at 8.0% per annum payable at maturity and which may be converted at any time into shares of common stock. The assignment of the conversion feature of the note resulted in a loan discount being recorded. The discount amount of $36,207 was fully amortized over the original thirty-six-month term of the debt as additional interest expense. This note is now overdue for payment.

 

On June 1, 2010, the Company entered into $300,000 of convertible promissory notes with a shareholder/director which was due on June 1, 2013 and accrues interest at 8.0% per annum payable at maturity and which may be converted at any time into shares of common stock the number of which is to be determined at that time.

Table of Contents

 

The Company determined it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of outstanding debt as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as the outstanding debt is private, there is no clarity as to when interest payments or principal payments will ultimately be made (or be called by the debt holders), and the Company lacks the internal expertise to calculate fair value of these debt instruments and would incur excessive costs to obtain a third-party valuation.

 

Other related party transactions

 

As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company owed approximately $5.2 and $5.0 million, respectively, to its chief executive officer and other employees of the Company. The CEO and employees agreed to salary deferrals pending available resources to make such payments.

EnerTeck Corporation (the “Company” or “EnerTeck Parent”), formerly named Gold Bond Mining Company and then Gold Bond Resources, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Washington on July 30, 1935. We acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. (“EnerTeck Sub”) as a wholly owned subsidiary on January 9, 2003. As a result of this acquisition, we are now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as our primary operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003 we changed our domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware and changed our name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us” or “our” refer to EnerTeck Corporation and its consolidated subsidiary.

 

EnerTeck Sub, our wholly owned operating subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Texas on November 29, 2000. It was formed for the purpose of commercializing a diesel fuel specific combustion catalyst known as EnerBurn (TM), as well as other combustion enhancement and emission reduction technologies. Nalco/Exxon Energy Chemicals, L.P. (“Nalco/Exxon L.P.”), a joint venture between Nalco Chemical Corporation and Exxon Corporation commercially introduced EnerBurn in 1998. When Nalco/Exxon L.P. went through an ownership change in 2000, our founder, Dwaine Reese, formed EnerTeck Sub. It acquired the EnerBurn trademark and related assets and took over the Nalco/Exxon L.P. relationship with the EnerBurn formulator and blender, and its supplier, Ruby Cat Technology, LLC (“Ruby Cat”).

 

We utilize a sales process that includes detailed proprietary customer fleet monitoring protocols in on-road applications that quantify data and assists in managing certain internal combustion diesel engine operating results while utilizing EnerBurn. Test data prepared by Southwest Research Institute and actual customer usage has indicated that the use of EnerBurn in diesel engines improves fuel economy, lowers smoke, and decreases engine wear and the dangerous emissions of both Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and microscopic airborne solid matter (particulates). Our principal target markets have included the trucking, heavy construction, maritime shipping, railroad and mining industries, as well as federal, state and international government applications. Each of these industries shares certain common financial characteristics, i.e. (i) diesel fuel represents a disproportionate share of operating costs; and (ii) relatively small operating margins are prevalent. Considering these factors, management believes that the use of EnerBurn and the corresponding derived savings in diesel fuel costs can positively affect the operating margins of its customers while contributing to a cleaner environment.

 

During 2011, we acquired a 40% membership interest in an entity called EnerTeck Environmental, LLC, which was formed for the purpose of marketing and selling a diesel fuel emission reduction technology with the creators of such specific technology. Indian Nations Technology, the co-owner of EnerTeck Environmental, LLC is currently working on a testing protocol which could revive this entity.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023, Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

 

Revenues

 

We recognized revenues of $27,311 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to revenues of $24,031 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $3,280. Several trials and evaluations are currently underway in the U.S. and various other countries, and it is expected revenue should show increases for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.

 

Sales delays have occurred due to delays in the completion of important product testing projects, a lack of new customers and the COVID-19 shutdown and restrictions. As businesses fully reopen following the COVID-19 shutdown, we expect to see progress in ongoing trials and evaluations that are currently underway in the U.S. and various other countries.

 

Gross Profit (Loss)

 

Gross profit, defined as revenues less cost of goods sold, was $24,301, or 89.0% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $19,921, or 82.9% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Although raw material costs have increased substantially, we feel confident there will be an increase in gross profits as the year proceeds and into next year as several trials and evaluations are currently underway in the U.S. and various other countries.

 

Cost of goods sold was $3,010 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 which represented 11.0% of revenue compared to $4,110 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which represented 17.1% of revenue.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $216,594 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $238,737 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $22,143. Costs and expenses in all periods primarily consisted of payroll, professional fees, rent expense, amortization expense and other general and administrative expenses. The increase is primarily a result of audit fees.

 

Net Loss

 

We reported a net loss of $223,169 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to a net loss of $291,276 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $68,107. The expectation is that sales will increase for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024 as several trials and evaluations are currently underway in the U.S. and various other countries.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

 

Revenues

 

We recognized revenues of $32,811 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to revenues of $100,091 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $67,280. Several trials and evaluations are currently underway in the U.S. and various other countries, and it is expected revenue should show increases for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.

The expectation is that sales will increase for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024 as several trials and evaluations are currently underway in the U.S. and various other countries.

 

Operations Outlook

 

The fuel additive industry has historically been mired by a myriad of technically dubious products. Prospective customers in all targeted market sectors and geographic locations are primarily concerned about the potential business risks associated with the adoption of any new fuel or engine treatment. Our sales process begins with a proof of performance demonstration that is a thorough analysis of the potential customer, including fleet type, size, and opportunity. This is followed with sales presentations at both the executive level and maintenance level.

 

The majority of our marketing effort since 2005 has been directed at targeting and gaining a foothold in one of several major target areas, including the inland marine diesel market, trucking, heavy construction and mining. Management concedes that sales revenues for 2022 and prior years, and the first nine months of 2023, have been considerably less than earlier anticipated. One of the issues we have faced in recent years has been the very long timeline from initial contact to contract signing subsequent to completion of an evaluation. Although we believe that many times in the past, we have proven the benefits of EnerBurn, various evaluating companies have opted not to move forward for a variety of reasons which we believe were beyond our control.

 

Nevertheless, at both the Company and distributor level, we have recently completed or are proceeding with evaluations of EnerBurn in many field trials. As we continue to string together a series of positive evaluations in more industries, we should begin to see more business generated from such results. New trials are either in progress or should be commencing shortly.

A substantial portion of the last few years was spent re-directing our marketing emphasis for our primary product, EnerBurn. Our current sales process now requires a signed commitment letter from the prospective customer for a minimum of a 3-year supply agreement, prior to the commencement of an evaluation of any of our products. Should the evaluation meet or exceed the established benchmarks as outlined in the evaluation protocol document, the supply agreement would become binding. We have adopted this strategy as we had numerous successful evaluations in the past that did not result in the customer moving forward and adopting the technology, with most of those evaluations being at the Company’s expense.

 

Additionally, we have contracted with outside sales representatives, both in the United States and in other parts of the world to act as distributors of our products. We currently have distribution agreements with Diesel-E Pty Ltd in Australia and with Green Group in South America. Diesel-E Pty Ltd completed its first EnerBurn evaluation with Robson Civil Projects Pty Limited of Australia and is currently working on multiple other opportunities leveraging on that successful trial. Green Group is currently running two evaluations in Peru, one for a mining railroad and another for a large mining conglomerate. We also have a representative working on mining evaluations in Mexico and we expect to commence an evaluation there at a large mine. In the U.S. we have a representative working on a number of currently ongoing EnerBurn evaluations in the Midwest, two of which have been completed successfully and we have recently started to supply one of them with chemical.

 

Since the latter part of 2022, we have been working on a research and development project to automate injection of Enerburn. In the past, we have found that the need to hand treat Enerburn at a customer site has been a hindrance to our ability to sell our products to potential customers. We believe this has prevented our success to spread our technology not only to existing customers to also to potential new customers. In this regard, we recently completed the design and the building of our first drum automatic system for use at one of our existing customer’s sites, which was installed at such customer’s site in Florida at the end of February 2023. If successful, we are encouraged that this will lead to additional customers in 2023 and the installation of such additional automatic injection systems. We have also recently been working with waste haulers on testing Enerburn to improve their DPF filter problems which, if successful, should lead to additional business opportunities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On September 30, 2023 we had a working capital deficit of $12,756,411 and a stockholders’ deficit of $12,659,561 compared to a working capital deficit of $11,894,608 and a stockholders’ deficit of $11,788,335 on December 31, 2022. Our continuing deficit levels are primarily due to poor sales. On September 30, 2023, we had $1,440 in cash, total assets of $320,436 and total liabilities of $12,979,997, compared to $1,035 in cash, total assets of $314,811 and total liabilities of $12,103,146 on December 31, 2022.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $323,475 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $482,038 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $158,563. The decrease was primarily due to timing of accounts payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $0 and $5,224 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

In the past, we have been able to finance our operations primarily from capital which has been raised. To date, sales have not been adequate to finance our operations without investment capital. Cash provided by financing activities was $323,880 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily a result of funds received from related party notes and advances. This is compared to cash provided by financing activities of $464,009 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily a result of funds received from related party notes and advances.

 

We anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to our operations, that in addition to our current cash and cash equivalents together with projected cash flows from operations and projected revenues, we will require additional investment to satisfy our contemplated cash requirements for the next 12 months. No assurance can be made that we will be able to obtain such investment on terms acceptable to us or at all. We anticipate that our costs and expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $1.3 million. Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenues and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. As mentioned above, management acknowledges that sales revenues have been considerably less than earlier anticipated. This was primarily due to a combination of circumstances which have been corrected or are in the process of being corrected and therefore should not reoccur in the future and the general state of the economy. Management expects that sales should show increases during the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. No assurances can be made that we will be able to obtain required financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our contemplated cash requirements in 2023 and beyond will depend primarily upon level of sales of our products, inventory levels, product development, sales and marketing expenditures and capital expenditures.

Due to our lack of meaningful revenues, we have been forced to finance our operations primarily from capital which has been raised from promissory notes and advances from related parties. Such loans and advances from related parties total $4,472,500 and $4,112,500 on September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Many of these remaining loans are past due and certain others are due on demand. The Company does not expect any of such related parties to demand payment until the Company has adequate resources to pay back such loans and advances, there can be no assurance that such will be the case. This debt presents a significant risk to the Company in that in the event any of such related parties demand payment, the Company may not have the necessary cash to meet such payment obligations, or if it does, such payments may draw significantly on the Company’s cash position. Any of such events will likely have a materially detrimental effect on the Company.

 

Inflation has not significantly impacted the Company’s operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, these disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) 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 a result of material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting. The ineffectiveness was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies: (i) all accounting functions are performed by limited accounting personnel; (ii) lack of formalized controls in the financial close and revenue recognition processes; and (iii) review of monthly, quarterly and yearly consolidated financial statements was not performed at a sufficient level of precision and specificity in order to detect material errors in the financial statements; and (iv) lack of formalized agreements maintained between parties during the normal course of business.

 

Despite the existence of the material weaknesses, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in all material respects.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no material changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, we intend to actively plan for and implement control procedures to improve our overall control environment including but not limited to documenting necessary internal control policies and developing and delivering appropriate internal control training to our personnel. Due to the nature of the remediation process and the need to allow adequate time after implementation to evaluate and test the effectiveness of the controls, as well as our limited cash resources, no assurance can be given as to the timing of achievement of remediation.
