INTERNATIONAL LAND ALLIANCE, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Nature of Operations

 

International Land Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on September 26, 2013. The Company is a residential land development company with target properties located in the Baja California, Northern region of Mexico and Southern California. The Company’s principal activities are purchasing properties, obtaining zoning and other entitlements required to subdivide the properties into residential and commercial building plots, securing financing for the purchase of the plots, improving the properties infrastructure and amenities, and selling the plots to homebuyers, retirees, investors, and commercial developers.

 

In May 2021, the Company acquired a 25% investment in Rancho Costa Verde Development LLC (“RCVD”). RCVD is a 1,100-acre master planned second home, retirement home and vacation home real estate community located on the east coast of Baja California. RCV is a self-sustained solar powered green community that takes advantage of the advances in solar and other green technology. On January 3, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 75% interest in RCVD for a contractual price of $13.5 million, paid through a combination of a promissory note, common stock and common stock purchase warrants. As a result of the transaction, RCVD became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition pursuant to ASC 805 Business Combinations.

 

Certain information and note disclosures included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 6, 2023.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has faced significant liquidity shortages as shown in the accompanying financial statements. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $30.7 million. The Company has recorded a net loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, has an accumulated deficit of approximately $27.5 million as of March 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company continues to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt instruments and equity to fund its ongoing operations, which may have the effect of potentially diluting the holdings of existing shareholders.

 

Management anticipates that the Company’s capital resources will significantly improve if its plots of land gain wider market recognition and acceptance resulting in increased plot sales and house construction. If the Company is not successful with its marketing efforts to increase sales, the Company will continue to experience a shortfall in cash, and it will be necessary to obtain funds through equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts or to further reduce its operating expenses in a manner to avoid the need to curtail its future operations subsequent to March 31, 2023. The direct impact of these conditions is not fully known.

 

However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to secure additional funds if needed and that if such funds were available on commercially reasonable terms or in the necessary amounts, and whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to the Company. In such case, the reduction in operating expenses might need to be substantial in order for the Company to generate positive cash flow to sustain the operations of the Company. (See Note 13 regarding subsequent events).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, ILA Fund I, LLC (the “ILA Fund”), a company incorporated in the State of Wyoming, International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V., a company incorporated in Mexico (“ILA Mexico”), and Emerald Grove Estates LLC, incorporated in the State of California, Plaza Bajamar, LLC, incorporated in State of Wyoming, Plaza Valle Divino, LLC, incorporated in the State of Wyoming and Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC incorporated in State of Nevada.

 

ILA Fund includes cash as its only assets with minimal expenses as of March 31, 2023. The sole purpose of this entity is strategic funding for the operations of the Company. ILA Mexico has plots held for sale for the Oasis Park Resort, no liabilities, and minimal expenses as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, Emerald Grove Estates LLC, Plaza Bajamar LLC, and Plaza Valle Divino LLC have no operations. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities were as follows:

 

Name of Consolidated Subsidiary or Entity 

State or Other

Jurisdiction of

Incorporation or

Organization

  Attributable Interest 
ILA Fund I, LLC  Wyoming   100%
International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V. (ILA Mexico)  Mexico   100%
Emerald Grove Estates, LLC  California   100%
Plaza Bajamar LLC  Wyoming   100%
Plaza Valle Divino, LLC  Wyoming   100%
Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC  Nevada   100%

On January 1, 2023, the Company executed a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding units of Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC. for a total contractual consideration of $13,500,000, paid through a combination of a promissory note, common stock and common stock purchase warrants.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain numbers from 2022 have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Investments - Equity Method

 

The Company accounts for equity method investments at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. On January 3, 2023, the Company acquired a controlling financial interest in its previous equity method investment, which resulted in the consolidation pursuant to ASC 805 Business Combinations of such entity on the effective date.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates include:

 

  Liability for legal contingencies.
  Useful life of buildings.
  Assumptions used in valuing equity instruments.
  Deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances.
  Going concern.
  Assessment of long-lived assets for impairment.
  Significant influence or control over the Company’s investee.
  Revenue recognition.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates as one reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews the financial information of the Company at a consolidated level in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: uses observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of any balance sheet dates presented or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid, and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, contracts liability, deposits, promissory notes, net of debt discounts and promissory notes related party , deferred revenue, other notes approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Equity-method investment is recorded at cost, which approximates its fair value since the consideration transferred includes cash and a non-monetary transaction, in the form of the Company’s common stock, which was valued based on a combination of a market and asset approach.

 

The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative liability is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Black-Sholes option valuation model was used to determine the fair value. The Company records derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operation.

 

The following table presents balances of the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of March 31, 2023:

Derivative Liability

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has variable rate convertible promissory notes, which contained variable conversion rates based on unknown future prices of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in the recognition of a derivative liability as the conversion feature failed the scope exception for derivative accounting due to the variability of its conversion price. The Company measures the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions:

 

  

For the Three Months Ending

March 31,

   2023  2022
       
Expected term  1 month – 1 year  -
Exercise price  $0.05 - $0.10  -
Expected volatility  139% - 163%  -
Expected dividends  None  -
Risk-free interest rate  4.74% - 5.09%  -
Forfeitures  None  -

 

The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment, or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.

 

The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under its control, and the assessment of volatility. The resulting effect on net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s variable convertible notes, which the convertible feature is associated with, are converted into common stock or paid in full with cash. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.

Cost Capitalization

 

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the property, legal fees, and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Buildings in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development are also capitalized.

 

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development, and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete, and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. Our capitalization policy on development properties is guided by ASC 835-20 Interest – Capitalization of Interest and ASC 970 Real Estate - General. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy or sale upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

 

Land Held for Sale

 

The Company considers properties to be assets held for sale when (1) management commits to a plan to sell the property; (2) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition and (3) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable given our estimate of current market value. Upon designation of a property as an asset held for sale, we record the property’s value at the lower of its’ carrying value or its estimated net realizable value. The Company fully impaired of the land held for sale as of December 31, 2022.

 

Land and Buildings

 

Land and buildings are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the use of the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial and tax reporting purposes, respectively, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings will have an estimated useful life of 20 years. Land is an indefinite lived asset that is stated at fair value at date of acquisition.

 

Construction in progress (“CIP”)

 

A CIP asset reflects the cost of construction work undertaken, but not yet completed on land not currently owned by the Company. For construction in progress assets, no depreciation is recorded until the asset is placed in service. When construction is completed, the assets should be reclassified as building, building improvement, infrastructure or land improvement and should be capitalized and depreciated. The land is currently owned by companies controlled by our Chief Executive Officer. The Company fully impaired the construction in progress on land currently owned by the Companies controlled by our Chief Executive Officer due to the uncertainty in title transfer as of March 31, 2023.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the double declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets:

 

Classification   Life
Buildings   20 years
Furniture and equipment 5 years

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company determines revenue recognition pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, through the following steps:

 

  Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
  Identification of the performance obligations in the agreement(s) for the sale of plots or house construction.
  Determination of the transaction price.
  Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract.
  Recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue is measured based on considerations specified in the agreements with our customers. A contract exists when it becomes a legally enforceable agreement with a customer. The contract is based on either the acceptance of standard terms and conditions as stated in our agreement of plot sales or house construction with customers. These contracts define each party’s rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration which we will expect to receive in exchange for execution of the performance obligation(s).

 

The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay the consideration to which the Company is entitled to. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract or agreement to transfer a distinct product or item to the customer. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the property that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the property is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Management considers the retention of title as merely a protective right, which would not disallow revenue recognition for the full consideration to which the Company is entitled upon the execution of a contract for deed.

 

Currently, upon execution of each contract for deed, the Company has not developed sufficient controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that collection of the consideration, which the Company is entitled to, is probable. In addition, the title of the land for the various projects (Bajamar and Divino) is held by an entity that is controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

The Company’s principal activities in the real estate development industry which it generates its revenues from are the sale of developed and undeveloped land and house construction.

 

Rancho Costa Verde Development or RCVD generates revenue from the following sources: (1) lot sales, (2) home construction calculated as a set percentage of builders’ costs, (3) administrative income for loan servicing, (4) interest income resulting from monthly payments from financed loans made to customers on lost sales, (5) resale income as commission for selling homes for owners that have purchased lots at RCVD and (6) utilities revenue from waste water systems and solar systems.

 

The Company identified the following performance obligations related to the operations of RCVD: (1) subdivision of the developer parcel, (ii) casita free week for each customer allowing them to enjoy a free week to a casita per year. The Company determined that there was a significant financing component in most arrangements with customers, which results in the recognition of interest income.

 

The Company recognized approximately $241,000 of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Advertising costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred. Advertising costs incurred amounted to $260,084 and $30,278 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Debt issuance costs and debt discounts

 

Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the term of the related financings on a straight-line approach, which approximates the effective interest method. Costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The Company has elected to use the simplified method described in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14C to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The value of stock awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Any compensation cost previously recognized for an unvested award that is forfeited because of a failure to satisfy a service condition is reversed in the period of the forfeiture. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Stock-based compensation includes the fair value of options, warrants and restricted stocks issued to employees, directors, and non-employees.

 

Stock Options Plan – 2019 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On February 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2019 equity incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). In order for the 2019 plan to grant “qualified stock options” to employees, it requires approval by the Company’s shareholders within 12 months from the date of the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan was never approved by the shareholders. Therefore, any options granted under the 2019 Plan prior to shareholders’ approval will be “non-qualified”. Pursuant to the 2019 Plan, the Company has reserved a total of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan. The Company has a total of 2,150,000 options issued and outstanding under the 2019 Plan as of March 31, 2023. The Company did not issue any stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Stock Options Plan – 2020 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On August 26, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2020 Equity Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The Company has reserved a total of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized common stock for issuance under the 2020 equity plan. The 2020 Equity Plan enables the Company’s board of directors to provide equity-based incentives through grants of awards to the Company’s present and future employees, directors, consultants, and other third-party service providers. The Company has a total of 1,700,000 options issued and outstanding under the 2020 plan as of March 31, 2023.

 

Stock Options Plan – 2022 Equity Plan

 

On December 1, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2022 Equity Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan enables the Board of Directors to provide equity incentives through grants of awards to the Company’s present and future employees, directors, consultants, and other third-party service providers.

 

Pursuant to the 2022 Plan, the Company has reserved a total of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be available under the plan.

 

The Company did not issue any stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has a total of 2,150,000 options issued and outstanding under the 2022 Plan as of March 31, 2023

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provide that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Management makes estimates and judgments about our future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates. Should the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of our valuation allowance could be materially impacted. Any adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded in the income statement for the periods in which the adjustment is determined to be required. Management does not believe that it has taken any positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability, nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next year.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 – Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible notes payable using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is antidilutive. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are antidilutive.

 

Securities that are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been antidilutive are:

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through March 31, 2023.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company fully impaired its long-lived assets due to the uncertainty in title transfer of the land not currently owned by the Company and the estimated fair value of its construction in progress during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Convertible Promissory Note

 

The Company accounts for convertible promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Income Statement. If the conversion feature does not require recognition of a bifurcated derivative, the convertible debt instrument is evaluated for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) requiring separate recognition. When the Company records a BCF, the intrinsic value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument with an offset to additional paid-in capital and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. In addition, ASU 2020-06 amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The Amendments also affects the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The amendments are effective for public entities excluding smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the Update on its financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 provides guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, by introducing an approach based on expected losses. The expected loss approach will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance requires a modified retrospective transition method and early adoption is permitted. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases (“ASU 2019-10”), which defers the adoption of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies until periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-13 and will continue to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-13 with no impact to the Financial Statements.

NOTE 3 – ASSET PURCHASE AND TITLE TRANSFER

 

Emerald Grove Asset Purchase

 

On July 30, 2018, Jason Sunstein, the Chief Financial Officer, entered into a Residential Purchase Agreement) to acquire real property located in Hemet, California, which included approximately 80 acres of land and a structure for $1.1 million from an unrelated seller. The property includes the main parcel of land with an existing structure along with three additional parcels of land which are vacant plots to be used for the purpose of development “vacant plots”. The purpose of the transaction was as an investment in real property to be assigned to the Company subsequent to acquisition. The property was acquired by Mr. Sunstein since it was required that the seller transfer the property for consideration to an individual versus a separate legal entity. On March 18, 2019, Mr. Sunstein assigned the deed of the property to the Company. The total of the consideration plus acquisition costs assets of $1,122,050 was allocated to land and building in the following amounts: $271,225 – Land; $850,826 – Building.

 

The land is an indefinite long-lived asset that was assessed for impairment as a grouped asset with the building on a periodic basis. The Company completed the refinancing of its existing first and second mortgage loans on the 80 acres of land and existing structure of its Emerald Grove property for aggregate principal amount of $1,787,000, which provided a net funding of approximately $387,000 during the first fiscal quarter of 2021.

 

Oasis Park Title Transfer

 

On June 18, 2019, Baja Residents Club SA de CV (“BRC”), a related party with common ownership and control by our CEO, Robert Valdes, transferred title to the Company for the Oasis Park property which was part of a previously held land project consisting of 497 acres to be acquired and developed into Oasis Park resort near San Felipe, Baja. ILA recorded the property held for sale on its balance sheet in the amount of $670,000 and accordingly reduced the value as plots are sold. As of September 30, 2022, the Company reported a balance for assets held for sale of $647,399.

 

The Company transferred title to individual plots of land to the investors since the Company received this approval of change in transfer of title to ILA.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not enter into any new contract to sell plots of land.

 

On September 29, 2021, the Company entered into a house construction contract for total consideration of $99,000, of which $43,967 was funded as of December 31, 2022, and presented under Contract Liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has not received any payments during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold three (3) lots to an affiliate of a related party of the Company for a total purchase price of $120,000, of which $61,440 was funded as of December 31, 2022. The Company has not received any payments during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

The remaining unpaid amount owed to the Company was $58,560 as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Valle Divino

 

The Valle Divino is the Company’s premier wine country development project in Ensenada, Baja California. This land project consists of 20 acres to be acquired from Baja Residents Club, a Company controlled by our Chief Executive Officer and developed into Valle Divino resort. The acquisition of title to the land for this project is subject to approval from the Mexican government in Baja, California. The Company broke ground of the Valle Divino development in July 2020 and has commenced site preparation for two model homes including a 1-bedroom and 2- bedroom option. The first Phase of the development includes 187 homes. This development will also have innovative microgrid solutions by our partner to power the model home and amenities.

 

There was no activity during the three-month ended March 31 ,2023. The construction contractor is also an entity controlled by our Chief Executive Officer. Construction began during the year ended December 31, 2020. The balance of construction in process for Valle Divino was $0 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company fully impaired the accumulated costs related to its Valle Divino project due to the uncertainty pertaining to the title transfer for a total amount of $457,275 during the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Plaza Bajamar

 

The Plaza Bajamar community is an 80-unit development located within the internationally renowned Bajamar Ocean Front Hotel and Golf Resort. The Bajamar Ocean Front Golf Resort is an expertly planned, well-guarded, and gated wine and golf community located 45 minutes South of the San Diego-Tijuana Border along the scenic toll road to Ensenada on the Pacific Ocean.

 

Phase I will include 22 “Merlot” 1,150 square-foot single-family homes that feature two bedrooms and two baths. The home includes two primary bedroom suites – one on the first floor and one upstairs, as well as fairway and ocean views from a rooftop terrace. The Merlot villas will come with the installation of solar packages construction in mind. Planned amenities include a pool, wellness and fitness center and available office space.

 

The Company has not yet taken title to this property, which is currently owned by Valdeland, S.A. de C.V. (“Valdeland”), an entity controlled and 100% owned by Roberto Valdes, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In September 2019, the Company executed a land purchase agreement with Valdeland, under which the Company is to acquire from Valdeland the Plaza Bajamar property free of liens and encumbrances for a total consideration of $1,000,000.

 

In November and December 2019, $250,000 was paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Roberto Valdes, of which $150,000 was used for the construction of two model Villas at our planned Plaza Bajamar development and $100,000 as a down payment towards the acquisition of the land from Valdeland. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for total amount of $150,000 reported under Prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets towards the purchase of the land. The amount has been fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Valdeland has completed a two-bedroom model home, an enhanced entrance, and interior roads as well as site preparation for four (4) new homes adjacent to the model home. It has commenced construction on four residential lots following the payment of the required minimum deposits from buyers.

 

The Company funded the construction by an additional $179,700 during the three months ended March 31 2023. Valdeland is the construction contractor is also an entity controlled and owned by Roberto Valdes.

 

The balance of construction in process for Plaza Bajamar totaled $0 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company fully impaired the accumulated costs related to Plaza Bajamar, due to the uncertainty pertaining to title transfer for a total amount of $179,700, which is presented under impairment loss in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Within the “restricted zone,” a foreigner can purchase the beneficial interest in real property through a bank trust or “fideicomiso.” Indeed, a bank trust must be used when acquiring property within the restricted zone. In this bank trust, the buyer of the property is designated as the “fideicomisario” or the beneficiary of the trust. While legal title is held by the bank, (specifically the trustee of the trust or the “fiduciario,”) the trustee must administer the property in accordance with the instructions of the buyer (the beneficiary of the trust). The property is not an asset of the bank, and the trustee is obligated to follow every lawful instruction given by the beneficiary to perform legal action. The Company has not yet established the bank trust, which is anticipated to occur before the end of the fiscal year 2023.

 

As of March 31, 2023, Valdeland sold six (6) house constructions on residential lots for estimated price of $1.5 million, of which $0.5 million has been paid and collected by the Company and initially presented under contract liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. However, the Company offset the balance of construction in process with the contract liability with the net balance written off due to the uncertainty pertaining to the transfer of title.

NOTE 9 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION WITH RELATED PARTY

 

On January 3, 2023, the Company executed a securities purchase agreement with International Real Estate Development, LLC (“IRED”” or the “seller”), a related party, for the purchase of the remaining seventy five percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest in Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC (“RCVD”) for a total consideration of $13.4 million. The Company’s President and director was the owner of one third of the issued and outstanding interest in International Real Estate Development LLC.

 

The consideration was paid through (i) a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $8,900,000, (ii) issuance of 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1.8 million and (iii) 33,000,000 common stock warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $2.7 million. The Company issued the 20,000,000 shares of common stock to International Real Estate Development, LLC (“IRED”) on January 3, 2023.

 

Prior to the acquisition of a controlling financial interest in RCVD, the Company held a twenty five percent (25%) interest in RCVD, which was previously accounted as an equity method investment under ASC 323 Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. It was determined that the Company did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact RCVD’s economic performance, and therefore, the Company was not the primary beneficiary of RCVD and RCVD was not consolidated under the variable interest model. The investment was initially recorded at cost, which was determined to be $2,680,000. The carrying value was fully written down to $0 as of December 31, 2022.

 

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination under ASC 805 Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the closing date of the acquisition. While this is a business combination, since it is between related parties, there has been no step up in basis taken for the acquisition and the excess purchase price has been treated as a return of capital commonly referred to as a deemed dividend.

 

26

 

 

The secured convertible promissory note has a principal amount of $8,900,000 and is payable in quarterly installments of $2,225,000, carries a five percent (5%) coupon with a maturity date of March 31, 2024. The note carries a default coupon of twelve percent (12%) on the unpaid principal after the maturity date. The note includes standard events of default, which will result in the principal and accrued interest to be payable immediately. The note is convertible at any time commencing on April 1, 2023, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock of the company at a 10% discount to market. The note may be prepaid at any time without penalties. The Company has not made the first installment by March 31, 2023, but the Company obtained a default waiver from IRED. The Company incurred approximately $111,250 of interest during the three months ending March 31, 2023 (note 7).

 

RCVD was originally formed in the State of Nevada. RCVD is a 1,100-acre master planned second home, retirement home, and vacation home real estate community located on the east coast of Baja California, Mexico. It is just south of the small fishing village of San Felipe, where the Oasis Park Resort project of the Company is located.

 

The Company accounted for this transaction as a capital transaction due to the related party nature of this transaction. This resulted in what is known as a deemed dividend.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred is as follows:

 

   January 3, 2023 
     
Fair value of common stock  $1,800,000 
Fair value of common stock warrants   2,674,976 
Promissory notes  $8,900,000 
Fair value of consideration transferred  $13,374,976

Common Stock warrants

 

At acquisition date, the Company measures the fair value of the common stock warrant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions:

 

  

For the Three Months Ending

March 31,

 
   2023   2022 
         
Expected term   5 years    - 
Exercise price  $0.10    - 
Expected volatility   162%   - 
Risk-free interest rate   3.94%   - 
Forfeitures   None    - 

 

The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment, or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.

 

The Company computes the fair value of the common stock warrants at the acquisition date, which does not have to be updated at each reporting period.

 

NOTE 10 – EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT

 

In May 2021, the Company acquired a 25% investment in Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC (“RCV”) in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a determined fair value of $0.86 per share and $100,000 in cash for total consideration of $2,680,000. The fair value of the non-monetary exchange was determined based on a valuation report obtained from an independent third-party valuation firm. The fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined based on weighted combination of market approach and asset approach. The market approach estimates fair value based on a weighted average between the listed price of the Company’s common shares and the Company’s recent private transaction adjusted for a lack of marketability discount.

 

The investment has been accounted for under the equity method. It was determined that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact RCV’s economic performance, and therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of RCV and RCV has not been consolidated under the variable interest model.

 

The investment was initially recorded at cost, which was determined to be $2,680,000. The Company impaired the remaining balance of its equity-method investment for a total amount of $2,089,337 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

On January 3, 2023, the Company executed a securities purchase agreement with International Real Estate Development, LLC, for the purchase of the remaining seventy five percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest in Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC (“RCVD”) for a total contractual consideration of $13,500,000.

 

The Company acquired a controlling financial interest and accounted for this transaction as a business combination under ASC 805 (refer to note 9). Upon the acquisition of such controlling interest, the Company remeasured the previously held equity method interest to fair value and recognize any difference between the fair value and the carrying value in its statement of operations.

In order for the 2019 Plan to grant “qualified stock options” to employees, it required approval by the Corporation’s shareholders within 12 months from the date of the 2019 Plan.

Preferred Stock

 

On November 6, 2019, the Company authorized and issued 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B”) and 350,000 shares of common stock to CleanSpark Inc. in a private equity offering for $500,000. Management determined that the Series B should not be classified as liability per the guidance in ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as of December 31, 2022, even though the conversion would require the issuance of variable number of shares since such obligation is not unconditional. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, Management recorded the value attributable to the Series B of $293,500 as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets since the instrument is contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. The Company recognized the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) that arises from a contingent conversion feature, since the instrument reached maturity during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company recognized such BCF as a discount on the convertible preferred stock. The amortization of the discount created by a BCF recognized as a result of the resolution of the contingency is treated as a deemed dividend that reduced net income in arriving at income available to common stockholders. The holder can convert the Series B into shares of common stock at a discount of 35% to the market price.

 

The terms and conditions of the Series B include an in-kind accrual feature, which provides for a cumulative accrual at a rate of 12% per annum of the face amount of the Series B. The Company has recognized $15,000 of dividend on Series B during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, aggregating the total accrual to $205,000 and $190,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The recognition of the in-kind accrual was reported in Additional Paid In Capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) states that the in-kind accrual rate should be increased by10% per annum upon each occurrence of an event of default. In addition, the SPA further states that the conversion price initially set at a discount of 35% to the market price should be further increased by an additional 10% upon each occurrence of an event of default. At the date of this Annual Report, CleanSpark claims that the Company was in default in three instances triggering further discount to the market price for the conversion feature and additional accrual rate. Management believes that it has never been in default of any covenant pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company has not been served with any notice of default stating the specific default events. As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the parties are cooperating to resolve this matter.

 

The Company did not issue any shares of preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Overview

 

The real estate market in Northern Baja California has continued to significantly improve and has fully recover from the negative impact of Covid-19.

Through the formation of a partnership with a similar development company in the Baja California Norte Region of Mexico, we have been able to leverage additional resources with the use of their established and proven marketing plan which can help us with sophisticated execution and the desired results for residential plot sales and development.
     
  Title of Oasis Park Resort in San Felipe was assumed during 2019. We are expecting the transfer of title on Valle Divino in Ensenada, Baja California and Plaza Bajamar in Ensenada, Baja California before the end of our fiscal year 2023, as we continue to follow the necessary steps to complete this legal process. However, there is no assurance that such transfer of title will occur on above timeframe or at all.

Revenue

 

Revenue increased by $240,932 to $240,932 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Revenue sources include real estate sales, interest from financed sales, financing fees, and components of home construction,

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue increased by $3,001 to $3,001 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cost of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cost of revenue includes land cost and related land improvements including infrastructure and subdivision costs.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased by $248,286 to $1,115,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $1,364,224 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

Sales and marketing costs increased by $229,806, to $260,084 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $30,278 in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Such increase mainly relates to the additional marketing efforts incurred by RCVD for a total amount of $198,085 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Sales costs are related to real estate’s sales commissions. Marketing costs include advertising, prospective customers’ education, travel, and accommodation.

 

General and administrative costs decreased by $723,766 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. General and administrative was increased by approximately $204,550 from the acquisition of RCVD. Such amount was mainly comprised of commissions paid attributable to sales.

 

Other G&A increase approximately $245,674, which is mainly attributable to an increase in impairment by approximately $245,674.

 

Other expense

 

Other expenses increased by approximately $902,056 to $1,030,554 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $128,498 in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

Such increase is primarily due to a $479,180 increase in interest expense, which results from the additional convertible notes that the Company secured during fiscal year 2022 to fund its ongoing operations and the additional convertible note for an aggregate amount of $8,900,000 issued pursuant to the RCVD acquisition, an increase of $397,678 in the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative liability and $49,329 related to loss from debt extinguishment.

 

Net Loss

 

The Company finished the three months ended March 31, 2023, with a net loss of $1,908,561, as compared to a net loss of $1,492,722 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in our net loss resulted from the reasons outlined above.

 

The factors that will most significantly affect future operating results will be:

 

  The positive effect of implemented sales and marketing initiatives to drive opportunities into our various projects.
  The quality of our amenities.
  The global economy and the demand for vacation homes.
  The sale price of future plots and home construction compared to the sale price in other resorts in Mexico.
  The prime location of our projects.

Other than the foregoing we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our revenues or expenses.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

Cash was $199,393 and $49,400 as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we recorded a loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our working capital deficit as of March 31, 2023, was $30.7 million. These factors and our ability to raise additional capital to accomplish our objectives, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased operations, increased construction activity and the development of current and future projects which include our current business operations.

 

We anticipate generating revenues over the next twelve months, as we continue to market the sale of plots held for sale at our various projects, generate cash from the sale of house construction at our properties.

 

If the Company is not successful with its marketing efforts to increase sales, the Company will continue to experience a shortfall in cash, and it will be necessary to obtain funds through equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts or to further reduce its operating expenses in a manner to avoid the need to curtail its future operations.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $36,978 which resulted primarily due to the loss of $1,908,561 offset by non-cash share-based compensation of $78,047, amortization of debt discount of $160,830, depreciation of $29,748, impairment loss of $245,675, loss from debt extinguishment of $49,329, fair value of equity securities issued for services for $15,000, excess fair value of derivative liability for $36,062, change in fair value of derivative liability of $397,678, and net change in assets and liabilities of $933,170.

 

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $36,978 which resulted primarily due to the loss of $1,908,561 offset by non-cash share-based compensation of $871,688, amortization of debt discount of $19,241, loss from the Company’s equity-method investment of $41,104, depreciation of $13,102, and net change in assets and liabilities of $202,644.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $73,047 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The funds were used for the development of the various projects and the purchased house construction at Plaza Bajamar and Valle Divino for $179,700, additional investment for land development for $215,266, and offset by the cash acquired for $321,919 from the acquisition of RCVD.

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $109,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The funds were used for the development of the various projects at plaza Bajamar, and Valle Divino.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $186,088, primarily from cash proceeds from additional funding from related parties for aggregate amount of $226,220, cash proceeds from convertible note of $100,000, cash proceeds from other loans for $23,776, offset by $100,850 repayment of related party advances, and $63,058 repayment of convertible notes.

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $590,628 primarily from cash proceeds from issuance of promissory notes for aggregate amount of $522,500, cash proceeds from on-going funding from related party for aggregate amount of $170,102, offset by $90,954 repayment of related party advances, and $11,620 repayment of promissory notes.

 

As a result of these activities, we experienced an increase in cash of $150,019 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our success in obtaining additional financing from investors or from sale of our common shares.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

The Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) and Rule 15d -15(e) under the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of adequate accounting and finance personnel, inadequate controls over maintenance of records, inadequate internal controls relating to the authorization, recognition, capture, and review of transactions, facts, circumstances, and events that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting process.as further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and which the Company determined continued to exist as of March 31, 2023.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
