One World Products, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") was incorporated in Nevada on September 2, 2014. On February 21, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with OWP Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and OWP Ventures, Inc. ("OWP Ventures"), which is the parent company of One World Pharma SAS, a Colombian Simplified Shares Company ("OWP SAS"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we acquired OWP Ventures (and indirectly, OWP SAS) by the merger of OWP Merger Subsidiary with and into OWP Ventures, with OWP Ventures being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger (a) holders of the outstanding capital stock of OWP Ventures received an aggregate of 39,475,398shares of our common stock; (b) options to purchase 825,000shares of common stock of OWP Ventures at an exercise price of $0.50automatically converted into options to purchase 825,000shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50; (c) the outstanding principal and interest under a $300,000convertible note issued by OWP Ventures became convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.424per share or 80% of the price the Company sold its common stock in a future "Qualified Offering"; (d) 875,000shares of our common stock owned by OWP Ventures prior to the Merger were cancelled; and (e) OWP Ventures' chief operating officer became our chief operating officer and two of OWP Ventures' directors became members of our board of directors. The Company's headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and all of its customers are expected to be outside of the United States. On January 10, 2019, the Company changed its name from Punto Group, Corp. to One World Pharma, Inc., and on November 23, 2021, the Company changed its name to One World Products, Inc. through the merger of One World Products, Inc., a recently formed Nevada corporation wholly-owned by the Company, with and into the Company (the "Name Change Merger") pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS"). As permitted by the NRS, the articles of merger filed with the Secretary of State of the state of Nevada to effect the Name Change Merger amended Article I of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name to "One World Products, Inc." The Name Change Merger was effected solely to effect the change of the Company's name, and had no effect on the Company's officers, directors, operations, assets or liabilities.
OWP Ventures is a holding company formed in Delaware on March 27, 2018 to enter and support the cannabis industry, and on May 30, 2018, it acquired OWP SAS. OWP SAS is a licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution (export) company located in Popayán, Colombia (nearest major city is Cali). The Company plans to be a producer of and/or source raw and processed cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. The Company has received licenses to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, the Company is one of the few companies in Colombia to receive all four licenses, including seed use, cultivation of non-psychoactive cannabis, cultivation of psychoactive cannabis, and manufacturing allowing for extraction and export. Currently, the Company owns approximately 30 acres and has a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, the Company has entered into agreements with local farming cooperatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to OWP SAS on an exclusive basis. The Company began harvesting cannabis in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities, quality control testing and extraction. OWP SAS has generated revenue since the second quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company made payments of approximately $1,400,000for a state-of-the-art distillation machine that cleared customs and is currently located in a warehouse near Bogota.
On December 22, 2023, OWP SAS, filed for protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, which is the primary legislation governing business insolvency proceedings (restructuring and liquidation) ("Reorganization Proceedings") in Colombia. The Reorganization Proceeds are similar to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States, whereby the Company intends to restructure its debts and continue to operate.
In connection with the Reorganization Proceedings, OWP SAS paused production and sales of our cannabis operations in Colombia until the Court provides the Company with a plan of reorganization, at which time the Company intends to resume operations and satisfy its obligations in Colombia in accordance with the court's plan. Furthermore, the Company continued its aggressive cost-cutting actions that included significant personnel reductions. As a result of these actions, OWP SAS has no revenue-producing operations. The Company's primary operations during the fourth quarter of 2023, and to date in 2024, have consisted of activities associated with completing the Reorganization Proceedings, resolving substantial litigation, claims reconciliation, and preparing for emergence from Reorganization Proceedings as contemplated in the yet to be determined, Proposed Plan.
Upon the date that the Proposed Plan, which is yet to be determined and remains subject to court approval, becomes effective (the "Effective Date"), and subject to the effectiveness of the Proposed Plan, it is contemplated that the near term operations of the Company (also referred to as the "Post-Effective Date Debtors") will consist of (a) claims administration under the Proposed Plan, (b) addressing the litigation, (c) prosecuting, pursuing, compromising, settling, or otherwise disposing of other retained causes of action, (d) defending the Company against any counterclaims, (e) attempting to realize value, if any, from our assets and (f) satisfying other regulatory requirements.

In the future, the Post-Effective Date Debtors expect to explore potential business opportunities, including strategic partnerships, including those designed to maximize the Debtor's assets, including restoration of the Company's cannabis operations. No assurance can be made that the Proposed Plan will become effective or that we will be successful in prosecuting any claim or cause of action or that any strategic alternative will be identified and/or would result in profitable operations.
In accordance with ASC 810-10-15, the Company has deconsolidated its foreign subsidiaries until it emerges from the Reorganization Proceedings to include the petitioning entity, OWP SAS, as well as the Company's non-operating shell entities, Agrobase, S.A.S. and Hope Colombia, S.A.S., given the lack of independently identifiable operations. The deconsolidation resulted in a loss on deconsolidation of foreign subsidiaries in the amount of $220,272and $1,564,823for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
During March of 2024, the Company, through OWP Ventures, began to sell a CBD based product in the United States, called Pro-11.
On May 15, 2024, OWP Ventures, Inc., acquired Pétalo Pharmaceutical, S.A.S. ("Pétalo"), a Company located in Colombia and legally constituted as a simplified stock company that owns licenses to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes from the free trade zone in Colombia. Pétalo had no operations, other than obtaining four licenses, including seed use, cultivation of non-psychoactive cannabis, cultivation of psychoactive cannabis, and manufacturing allowing for extraction and export from the free trade zone. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase, and the $75,000purchase price of Pétalo was allocated to the fair value of the licenses. The Company intends to establish an export business within the free trade zone using these licenses, but has yet to incur any substantive income or expenses.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is Colombian Peso (COP). The Company has maintained its financial statements using the functional currency, and translated those financial statements to the US Dollar (USD) throughout this report. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances in a full-set of general-purpose financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may 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 these estimates.
Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (ASC 820). Under ASC 820-10-05, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000, under current regulations. The Company had $127,434of cash in excess of FDIC insured limits at June 30, 2024, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company's revenues in the current period consisted of the sale of our CBD rub, and in the prior period revenues consisted entirely of the sale of seeds. The sale of seeds included multi-element arrangements whereby the Company collected 50% of the sale upon delivery of the sales, and the remaining 50% upon the completion of the harvest, whether the seeds result in a successful crop, or not. In addition, the Company had a right of first refusal to purchase products resulting from the harvest.

Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of cannabis flower grown in-house, along with produced extracts.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718). 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 of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty's performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. Pre-funded warrants to purchase 8,666,667shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.00001per share were included in the calculation as the in-the-money strike price causes the warrants to be considered dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial statements.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 2 -Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, our balance of cash on hand was $362,191, and we had negative working capital of $2,506,932and an accumulated deficit of $29,495,767. We are too early in our development stage to project future revenue levels, and may not be able to generate sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing and would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.

Note 3 - Deconsolidation of Foreign Subsidiaries
On December 22, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary, One World Products, S.A.S., a Colombian Simplified Shares Company, filed for protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, which is the primary legislation governing business insolvency proceedings (restructuring and liquidation) ("Reorganization Proceedings") in Colombia.The Reorganization Proceeds are similar to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States, whereby the Company intends to restructure its debts and continue to operate. The plan of reorganization and assessment of valid claims has not yet been determined, or approved by the court and creditors, as necessary. OWP SAS has currently identified approximately 23 creditors, consisting of approximately $1.2million of financial obligations, collectively. In accordance with ASC 810-10-15, the Company has deconsolidated its foreign subsidiaries until it emerges from the Reorganization Proceedings to include the petitioning entity, OWP SAS. Given the lack of independently identifiable operations, the Company has also deconsolidated its non-operating shell entities, Agrobase, S.A.S. and Hope Colombia, S.A.S (collectively, the "Foreign Subsidiaries"). The deconsolidation resulted in a loss on deconsolidation of foreign subsidiaries in the amount of $220,272and $1,564,823for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. There were no income, losses or cash flows within the Foreign Subsidiaries between the date of petition on December 22, 2023 and December 31, 2023. A summary of the deconsolidated condensed combined balance sheets and statement of operations and comprehensive loss of the Foreign Subsidiaries is as follows:

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, 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 (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively:

The following should also be read in conjunction with the unaudited Financial Statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We plan to be a producer of and/or source raw and processed cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. The Company is a holding company and conducts its business in Colombia through OWP SAS, its wholly-owned subsidiary. OWP SAS has received licenses from the Colombian government to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes in the town of Esmeralda-Popayán, Cauca, Colombia.
We are in the process of acquiring another Colombian subsidiary within the Bogota free trade zone, which has all requisite licenses for the cultivation, production, distribution and export of cannabis and hemp infused products, and will serve as the Company's primary base of operations in the Colombian market. Establishing operations within the free trade zone provides favorable import/export commercial terms and taxation, and will improve logistics and the overall operating efficiencies for the Company due to the close proximity of El Dorado International Airport and the commercial, economic and cultural center of the city of Bogota itself.
OWP SAS owns approximately 30 acres and has a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, we entered into agreements with a local farming co-operative, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis. We planted our first crop of cannabis in 2018, which we harvested in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities and quality control testing of the cannabis we have produced.
We have generated revenues since the second quarter of 2020. Between August 2021 and March 2022, we made payments of approximately $1,400,000 for the purchase of a state-of-the-art distillation machine that cleared customs and is currently located in a warehouse near Bogota. We intend to build out an extraction and production facility in the Bogota free trade zone adjacent to El Dorado International Airport in Bogota after we execute a lease for this location. Once the extraction equipment is placed in service, we will be one of the few companies in Colombia to both hold licenses and possess the capability to extract high-quality CBD and THC oils.Due to challenging economic conditions and under prior management, OWP SAS experienced significant operational and managerial challenges in 2022 and 2023, resulting its accumulation of financial obligations of approximately $1.2 million, which are substantially past due. Without adequate resources and in an effort to forestall the imposition of interest, late charges, fines and any court-mandated order(s) to cease operations, OWP SAS filed for protection under Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, which is the primary legislation governing business insolvency proceedings (restructuring and liquidation) ("Reorganization Proceedings") in Colombia on December 22, 2023. During the Reorganization Proceeding, management intends to satisfy OWP SAS's continuing financial obligations through the negotiation and/or settlement with creditors and the Colombian governmental authorities. Subject to court approval, the Company intends to continue normal operations, which consists of providing cannabinoids in bulk for the domestic and international markets, including the raw material for our brands and affiliate companies. At this time, the Company cannot predict the length of time of the Reorganization Proceeding. The Company has deconsolidated its foreign subsidiaries until it emerges from the Reorganization Proceedings to include the petitioning entity, OWP SAS, as well as the Company's non-operating shell entities, Agrobase, S.A.S. and Hope Colombia, S.A.S., given the lack of independently identifiable operations. The deconsolidation resulted in a loss on deconsolidation of foreign subsidiaries in the amount of $97,672 and $1,564,823 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
On May 15, 2024, OWP Ventures, Inc., acquired Pétalo Pharmaceutical, S.A.S. ("Pétalo"), a Company located in Colombia and legally constituted as a simplified stock company that owns licenses to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes from the free trade zone in Colombia. Pétalo had no operations, other than obtaining four licenses, including seed use, cultivation of non-psychoactive cannabis, cultivation of psychoactive cannabis, and manufacturing allowing for extraction and export from the free trade zone. The Company intends to establish an export business within the free trade zone using these licenses.
We expect Pétalo to start exporting products in 2024, including CBD flower and distillate oil. Our product pipeline may include premium coffee certified by the Colombian National Coffee Federation infused with CBD, teas infused with CBD and a series of wellness products, including sports CBD energy drinks for optimum performance, CBD facial and body creams for anti-inflammatory and anti-aging use and white label commercial agreements with partners in Europe, USA, and Latin America. We recently entered into strategic partnerships with Smokiez Edibles in Colombia and Stephen Marley's Kx Family Care. There can be no assurances that these strategic partnerships will generate revenues or be profitable for the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,208,500, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $812,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
As of June 30, 2024, our balance of cash on hand was $362,191, and we had negative working capital of $2,506,932 and an accumulated deficit of $29,495,767. We are too early in our development stage to project future revenue levels, and may not be able to generate sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing and would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments.
26 |
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company's revenues in the current period consisted of the sale of our CBD rub, and in the prior period revenues consisted entirely of the sale of seeds. The sale of seeds included multi-element arrangements whereby the Company collected 50% of the sale upon delivery of the sales, and the remaining 50% upon the completion of the harvest, whether the seeds result in a successful crop, or not. In addition, the Company had a right of first refusal to purchase products resulting from the harvest.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of cannabis flower grown in-house, along with produced extracts and CBD derived products.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718). 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 of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty's performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. 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 or submits 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 or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
