NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Organization and Going Concern

 

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“SEER,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a provider of next-generation clean-technologies, waste management innovations and related services. SEER has two wholly owned operating subsidiaries and three majority-owned subsidiaries; all of which together provide technology solutions and services to companies primarily in the oil and gas, refining, landfill, food, beverage & agriculture, and renewable fuel industries. The two wholly owned subsidiaries are: 1) MV, LLC (d/b/a MV Technologies) (“MV”), which designs and builds biogas conditioning solutions for the production of renewable natural gas, odor control systems and natural gas vapor capture primarily for landfill operations, waste-water treatment facilities, oil and gas fields, refineries, municipalities and food, beverage & agriculture operations throughout the U.S.; and 2) Strategic Environmental Materials, LLC, (“SEM”), a materials technology company focused on development of cost-effective chemical absorbents, whose operations were discontinued during the year ended December 31, 2023. (See Note 15)

 

The two majority-owned subsidiaries are 1) Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”), and 2) PelleChar, LLC (“PelleChar”). PWS is currently owned 54% by SEER, and PelleChar is owned 51% by SEER.

 

PWS developed specific opportunities to deploy and commercialize patented technologies for a non-thermal plasma-assisted oxidation process that makes possible the clean and efficient destruction of solid hazardous chemical and biological waste (i.e., regulated medical waste, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and refinery tank waste, etc.) without landfilling or traditional incineration and without harmful emissions. Additionally, this technology “cleans” and conditions emissions and gaseous waste streams (i.e., volatile organic compounds and other greenhouse gases) generated from diverse sources such as refineries, oil fields, and many others. In July 2022, the Company exchanged its patents and related technology, to its joint venture, Paragon Southwest Medical Waste (“PSMW”), in exchange for units in PSMW. (See Note 9)

 

PelleChar was established in September 2018 and is owned 51% by SEER. Pellechar has secured third-party pellet manufacturing capabilities from one of the nation’s premier pellet manufacturers. Working closely with Biochar Now, LLC, Pellechar commenced sales in late 2019 of its proprietary pellets containing the proven and superior Biochar Now product starting with the landscaping and big agriculture markets. At this time, Pellechar is the only company able to offer a soil amendment pellet containing the Biochar Now product that is produced using the patented pyrolytic process.

 

Principals of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEER, its wholly owned subsidiaries, SEM, and MV, and its majority-owned subsidiaries PWS and PelleChar, since their respective acquisition or formation dates. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has non-controlling interest in joint ventures, which are reported on the equity method.

 

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $34.7 million as of March 31, 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $0.4 million. As of March 31, 2024, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $11.9 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern.

 

7

 

 

Realization of a major portion of the Company’s assets as of March 31, 2024, is dependent upon continued operations. The Company is dependent on generating additional revenue or obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company raised approximately $0.2 million from the issuance of short-term and long-term debt, offset by payments of principal on short term notes of $17,100, for a net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.2 million. In addition, the Company has undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. The Company continues to focus on developing organic growth in our operating companies and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions. Critical to achieving profitability will be the ability to license and or sell, permit and operate though the Company’s joint ventures. The Company has increased business development efforts to address opportunities identified in expanding markets attributable to increased interest in energy conservation and emission control regulations. In addition, the Company is evaluating various forms of financing which may be available to it. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure additional financing for working capital, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to report on a going concern basis.

 

Basis of Presentation Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the interim information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2024, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the forecasted cash flows used in the impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets. The carrying amount of intangible assets; valuation allowances and reserves for receivables; revenue recognition related to contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method; and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported consolidated net loss.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that superseded most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of the guidance is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (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 the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services. Other major provisions of the guidance include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. (See Note 3)

Research and Development

 

Research and development (“R&D”) costs are charged to expense as incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries, project materials, contract labor and other costs associated with ongoing product development and enhancement efforts. R&D expenses were $0 for both the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first in, first out basis and includes the following amounts:

 

   March 31,
2024		   December 31,
2023		 
   (unaudited)   * 
Finished goods  $2,100   $16,800 
Total inventory  $2,100   $16,800 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for any temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.

 

ASC 740 also provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized as of March 31, 2024, and 2023. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

 

The Company has filed federal and state tax returns through December 31, 2022. The tax periods for the years ending December 31, 2020, through 2022 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.

 

NOTE 3 – REVENUE

 

Products Revenue

 

Product revenue generated from contracts with customers, for the manufacture of products for the removal and treatment of hazardous vapor and gases. Total estimated revenue includes all of the following: (1) the basic contract price, (2) contract options, and (3) change orders. Once contract performance is underway, the Company may experience changes in conditions, client requirements, specifications, designs, materials, and expectations regarding the period of performance. Such changes are “change orders” and may be initiated by us or by our clients. In many cases, agreement with the client as to the terms of change orders is reached prior to work commencing; however, sometimes circumstances require that work progress without obtaining client agreement. Revenue related to change orders is recognized as costs are incurred if it is probable that costs will be recovered by changing the contract price. The Company does not incur pre-contract costs. Under the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company found no change in the manner product revenue is recognized. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses are identified and included as additional loss. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts are shown separately as liabilities on the balance sheet, if significant, except in circumstances in which related costs are accumulated on the balance sheet, in which case the provisions are deducted from the accumulated costs. A provision as a liability is reported as a current liability.

 

9

 

 

The Company includes in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to contracts realizable and payable. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent the excess of contract costs and profits recognized to date over billings to date and are recognized as a current asset. Revenue contract liabilities represent the excess of billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits recognized to date and are recognized as a current liability.

 

Products revenue also includes media sales which are recognized as the product is shipped to the customer for use.

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivables and contract liabilities (current and non-current) are as follows:

 

              Contract Liabilities 
   Accounts Receivable, net    Contract Assets    Contract Liabilities

Increase (decrease)  $75,600   $40,300   $(262,500)  $(22,400)  $- 

 

The majority of the Company’s revenue is generally invoiced on a weekly or monthly basis, and the payments are generally received within approximately 30-60 days. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts that are refundable.

 

10

 

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was approximately $0.9 million, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 85% of this revenue over the next 12 months.

 

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amounts to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

NOTE 6 – LEASES

 

The Company has entered into operating leases primarily for real estate. These leases have terms which range from 1 to 8 years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from 1 year to month-to-month and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. These operating leases are included in “Right of use assets” on the Company’s March 31, 2024, Consolidated Balance Sheets and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make lease payments are included in “Current portion of lease liabilities” and “Lease liabilities net of current portion” on the Company’s March 31, 2024, Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $175,700 and $200,600, respectively. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $20,900 in operating lease costs for right-of-use assets.

 

Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.

 

Information related to the Company’s right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities were as follows (unaudited):

NOTE 9 – INVESTMENTS

 

Paragon Waste Solutions LLC

 

Since its inception through March 31, 2024, the Company has provided approximately $6.4 million in funding to PWS for working capital and the further development and construction of various prototypes and commercial waste destruction units. No members of PWS have made capital contributions or other funding to PWS other than SEER. The intent of the operating agreement is to provide the funding as an advance against future earnings distributions made by PWS.

 

Paragon Southwest Medical Waste

 

On July 20, 2022, PWS transferred all patents owned covering medical waste destruction, and related technology, to its joint venture, Paragon Southwest Medical Waste (“PSMW”), in exchange for units in PSMW. The units in PSMW transferred in connection with this transaction increased SEER’s equity in PSMW to approximately 30%, on a total consolidated basis. This transaction also canceled the irrevocable license and royalty agreement, and the management agreement between PWS and PSMW.

 

On June 30, 2023, the Company exchanged its interest in PSMW in exchange for a 2% interest in Amlon Holdings when PSWM was acquired by Amlon Holdings.

NOTE 12 – EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

 

2024 Common Stock Transactions

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no new equity transactions have occurred.

 

2023 Common Stock Transactions

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, no new equity transactions have occurred.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

The non-controlling interest presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements reflects a 46% non-controlling equity interest in PWS and 49% non-controlling equity interest in PelleChar. Net losses attributable to non-controlling interest, as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, represents the net loss of each entity attributable to the non-controlling equity interest. The non-controlling interest is reflected within stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

NOTE 13 – CUSTOMER CONCENTRATIONS (unaudited)

 

The Company had sales from operations of two, and three customers, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 that surpassed the 10% threshold of total revenue, respectively. In total, these customers represented approximately 39% and 68% of our total sales, respectively. The concentration of the Company’s business with a relatively small number of customers may expose us to a material adverse effect if one or more of these large customers were to experience financial difficulty or were to cease being customers for non-financial related issues.

 

NOTE 14 – NET GAIN OR LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic net gain or loss per share is computed by dividing net gain or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net gain or loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation when their effect would be anti-dilutive. For three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted share calculations because they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net losses incurred for the respective period, or were dilutive, but the exercise prices were above the stock price for the entire period, deeming them not to be converted, or exercised during the period. Accordingly, basic shares equal diluted shares for all periods presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our business and the results of our operations. It should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report as well as our Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2024. Certain statements made in our discussion may be forward looking. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from our expectations. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us” and “our,” we are describing Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

 

SEER BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“the Company” or “SEER”) was originally organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 13, 2002, for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses under the name of Satellite Organizing Solutions, Inc. (“SOZG”). In January 2008, SOZG changed its name to Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. SEER is dedicated to assembling complementary service and environmental, clean-technology businesses that provide safe, innovative, cost-effective, and profitable solutions in the environmental, waste management, and renewable energy industries. SEER currently operates four companies with its headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado. Through its operating companies, SEER provides environmental products and solutions throughout North America and is pursuing international markets for its technologies and products. SEER’s operating companies are discussed in more detail below.

 

The Company’s domestic strategy is to grow internally through SEER’s subsidiaries that have well-established revenue streams and, simultaneously, establish long-term alliances with and/or acquire complementary domestic businesses in rapidly growing markets for renewable energy, waste management/treatment, emissions capture and conditioning, and environmental soil amendments and organic fertilizers. The focus of the SEER family of companies, however, is to increase margins by securing or developing proprietary patented and patent-pending technologies and then leveraging its 25-plus-year service experience to place these innovations and solutions into the growing markets of renewable biogas, emission capture and control, renewable “green gas” capture and sale, organic soil amendments and fertilizers, as well as general solid waste and medical/pharmaceutical waste destruction. Many of SEER’s current operating companies share customer bases and each provides synergistic services, technologies and products.

 

Subsidiaries

 

Wholly owned

 

MV, LLC (d/b/a MV Technologies), (“MV”): (operating since 2003) MV designs and sells patented and/or proprietary, dry scrubber solutions for management of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in biogas, landfill gas, and petroleum processing operations. These system solutions are marketed under the product names H2SPlus™ and OdorFilter™. The markets for these products include landfill operations, agricultural and food product processors, wastewater treatment facilities, and petroleum product refiners. MV also develops and designs proprietary technologies and systems used to condition biogas for use as renewable natural gas (“RNG”), for a number of applications, such as transportation fuel and natural gas pipeline injection.

 

SEER Environmental Materials, LLC (“SEM”): (formed September 2015) is a wholly owned subsidiary established as a materials technology business with the purpose of developing advanced chemical absorbents and catalysts that enhance the capability of biogas produced from, landfill, wastewater treatment operations and agricultural digester operations. SEM’s operations were discontinued during the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

17

 

 

Majority owned

 

Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”): (formed late 2010) PWS is an operating company that has developed a patented waste destruction technology using a pyrolytic heating process combined with “non-thermal plasma” assisted oxidation. This technique involves gasification of solid waste by heating the waste in a low-oxygen environment, followed by complete oxidation at higher temperatures in the presence of plasma. This technology, commercially referred to as CoronaLux™, is designed and intended for the “clean” destruction of hazardous chemical and biological waste (i.e., medical waste) thereby eliminating the need for costly segregation, transportation, incineration or landfill (with their associated legacy liabilities). In 2023 SEER sold its North American patent rights in a stock transaction and now holds a small, minority interest in Amlon Holdings. SEER continues to have the rights to develop the technology internationally and continues to promote and market the CoronaLux technology in international markets.

 

PelleChar, LLC (“PelleChar”): (formed September 2018) owned 51% by SEER. PelleChar has secured third-party pellet manufacturing capabilities from one of the nation’s premier pellet manufacturers. Working closely with Biochar Now, LLC, PelleChar commenced sales in 2019 of its proprietary pellets containing the proven and superior Biochar Now product starting with the landscaping and big agriculture markets. At this time, PelleChar is the only company able to offer a soil amendment pellet containing the Biochar Now product that is produced using the patented pyrolytic process. PelleChar activity to date relates to promoting both domestic and international sales. Revenue and expenses of PelleChar were not material for the period ended March 31, 2024.

 

Joint Ventures

 

Eco SEER Saudi: On December 17, 2022, SEER and Eco Tadweer (“ET”), a business entity incorporated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”) entered into a joint venture with SEER owning a minority, non-controlling 49% interest in the joint venture. The purpose of the joint venture is to market and monetize SEER’s technologies in and around the KSA. While SEER is entitled to appoint one of three managers, ET is responsible for funding, operation and management of the joint venture. Eco SEER has had minimal operations as of March 31, 2024.

 

SEER’s Financial Condition and Liquidity

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $34.7 million as of March 31, 2024, and $34.4 million as of March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $0.4 million. The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $11.9 million as of March 31, 2024. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern.

 

Realization of a major portion of the Company’s assets as of March 31, 2024, is dependent upon continued operations. The Company is dependent on generating additional revenue or obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company raised approximately $0.2 million from the issuance of short-term and long-term debt, for a net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.2 million. In addition, the Company has undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. The Company continues to focus on developing organic growth in our operating companies and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions, including discontinuing SEM, a line of business with historically insufficient margins. The Company has limited common shares available for issue which may limit the ability to raise capital or settle debt through issuance of shares. The Company has increased business development efforts to address opportunities identified in expanding markets attributable to increased interest in energy conservation and emission control regulations. In addition, the Company is evaluating various forms of financing which may be available to it. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure additional financing for working capital, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to report on a going concern basis.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024, and 2023

 

Total revenues were $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The increase of approximately $0.4 million or 67% in revenues comparing the three months ended March 31, 2024, to the three months ended March 31, 2023, is attributable to our product percent-complete contract revenue increasing due to several material projects being postponed from prior periods due to site preparation delays, coming online.

 

18

 

 

Operating expenses, which include cost of products, general and administrative (G&A) expenses, and salaries and related expenses, were approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Product costs increased $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to above mentioned percent-complete project delays from prior year coming online in the first quarter of 2024. G&A expenses decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to reduced professional and accounting fees.

 

Total other income and expense was a net expense of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The majority of other income and expense is interest expense, with was consistent at $0.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. During 2024 we also had $0.1 million in other income, a result of selling units the Company owned in Biochar Now, LLC.

 

There is no provision for income taxes for both the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, due to our net losses for both periods and we continue to maintain full allowances covering our net deferred tax benefits as of March 30, 2024, and 2023.

 

Loss from continuing operations was approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net loss attributable to SEER after deducting $900 for the non-controlling interest was approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a net loss of approximately $0.8 million, after adding $2,800 in non-controlling interest and deducting $11,700 loss from discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As noted above, an increase in revenue was the primary driver of the decreased net loss by $0.4 million.

 

Results of Discontinued Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

 

As of January 1, 2023, the Company abandoned its SEM subsidiary. All revenue and expenses of our SEMS subsidiary for 2023 are classified as discontinued operations.

Changes in Cash Flow

 

Operating Activities

 

The Company had net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 30, 2024 of $0.2 million, and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $0.6 million. Cash used by operating activities is driven by our net loss and adjusted by non-cash items as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash adjustments primarily include depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, and gain on the sale of fixed assets. Net loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Non-cash adjustments increased cash uses of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to cash provided of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

In addition to the non-cash adjustments to net income, changes in assets and liabilities include:

 

a) changes in accounts receivable used $0.1 million in the first three months of 2024, compared to providing $0.4 million in the first three months of 2023,
b) changes in contract liabilities used $0.3 million in the first three months of 2024, compared to using $0.1 million in the first three months of 2023,
c) changes in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and customer deposits provided $0.6 million in the first three months of 2024, compared to using $0.1 million in the first three months of 2023.

 

Investing activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to no activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company sold fixed assets held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and collected $0.1 million.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with providing $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s financing activities for both periods consist of new borrowing, net of any principal payments made during the period.

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the forecasted cash flows used in the impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets. The carrying amount of intangible assets; valuation allowances and reserves for receivables; revenue recognition related to contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method; and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our accounts receivable. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an aging of accounts receivable, historical experience and management judgment. Accounts receivable balances are reviewed individually for collectability, and balances are charged off against the allowance when we determine that the potential for recovery is remote. An allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $24,200 has been reserved as of both March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable. Our customers operate primarily in the food, beverage, and agricultural space, as well as water treatment and landfill industries in the United States. Accordingly, we are affected by the economic conditions in these industries as well as general economic conditions in the United States. To limit credit risk, management periodically reviews and evaluates the financial condition of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we do not believe that we have significant credit risk.

 

20

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to their short-term maturities. We believe that the carrying value of notes payable with third parties, including their current portion, approximate their fair value, as those instruments carry market interest rates based on our current financial condition and liquidity. We believe the amounts due to related parties also approximate their fair value, as their carried interest rates are consistent with those of our notes payable with third parties.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of an asset group are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. No impairments were determined as of March 31, 2024.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized under FASB guidelines, which requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (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 the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the person performing the similar function as Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

● Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
● Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

We carried out an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and Interim CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment and on those criteria, our CEO and Interim CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2024. The principal basis for this conclusion is (i) failure to engage sufficient resources regarding our accounting and reporting obligations during our startup and (ii) failure to fully document our internal control policies and procedures.

 

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management’s report in this quarterly report.

 

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and Interim CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Organization and Going Concern

 

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“SEER,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a provider of next-generation clean-technologies, waste management innovations and related services. SEER has two wholly owned operating subsidiaries and three majority-owned subsidiaries; all of which together provide technology solutions and services to companies primarily in the oil and gas, refining, landfill, food, beverage & agriculture, and renewable fuel industries. The two wholly owned subsidiaries are: 1) MV, LLC (d/b/a MV Technologies) (“MV”), which designs and builds biogas conditioning solutions for the production of renewable natural gas, odor control systems and natural gas vapor capture primarily for landfill operations, waste-water treatment facilities, oil and gas fields, refineries, municipalities and food, beverage & agriculture operations throughout the U.S.; and 2) Strategic Environmental Materials, LLC, (“SEM”), a materials technology company focused on development of cost-effective chemical absorbents, whose operations were discontinued during the year ended December 31, 2023. (See Note 15)

 

The two majority-owned subsidiaries are 1) Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”), and 2) PelleChar, LLC (“PelleChar”). PWS is currently owned 54% by SEER, and PelleChar is owned 51% by SEER.

 

PWS developed specific opportunities to deploy and commercialize patented technologies for a non-thermal plasma-assisted oxidation process that makes possible the clean and efficient destruction of solid hazardous chemical and biological waste (i.e., regulated medical waste, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and refinery tank waste, etc.) without landfilling or traditional incineration and without harmful emissions. Additionally, this technology “cleans” and conditions emissions and gaseous waste streams (i.e., volatile organic compounds and other greenhouse gases) generated from diverse sources such as refineries, oil fields, and many others. In July 2022, the Company exchanged its patents and related technology, to its joint venture, Paragon Southwest Medical Waste (“PSMW”), in exchange for units in PSMW. (See Note 9)

 

PelleChar was established in September 2018 and is owned 51% by SEER. Pellechar has secured third-party pellet manufacturing capabilities from one of the nation’s premier pellet manufacturers. Working closely with Biochar Now, LLC, Pellechar commenced sales in late 2019 of its proprietary pellets containing the proven and superior Biochar Now product starting with the landscaping and big agriculture markets. At this time, Pellechar is the only company able to offer a soil amendment pellet containing the Biochar Now product that is produced using the patented pyrolytic process.

 

Principals of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEER, its wholly owned subsidiaries, SEM, and MV, and its majority-owned subsidiaries PWS and PelleChar, since their respective acquisition or formation dates. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has non-controlling interest in joint ventures, which are reported on the equity method.

 

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $34.7 million as of March 31, 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $0.4 million. As of March 31, 2024, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $11.9 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern.

 

 

Realization of a major portion of the Company’s assets as of March 31, 2024, is dependent upon continued operations. The Company is dependent on generating additional revenue or obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company raised approximately $0.2 million from the issuance of short-term and long-term debt, offset by payments of principal on short term notes of $17,100, for a net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.2 million. In addition, the Company has undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. The Company continues to focus on developing organic growth in our operating companies and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions. Critical to achieving profitability will be the ability to license and or sell, permit and operate though the Company’s joint ventures. The Company has increased business development efforts to address opportunities identified in expanding markets attributable to increased interest in energy conservation and emission control regulations. In addition, the Company is evaluating various forms of financing which may be available to it. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure additional financing for working capital, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to report on a going concern basis.

 

Basis of Presentation Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the interim information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2024, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the forecasted cash flows used in the impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets. The carrying amount of intangible assets; valuation allowances and reserves for receivables; revenue recognition related to contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method; and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported consolidated net loss.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that superseded most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of the guidance is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (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 the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services. Other major provisions of the guidance include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. (See Note 3)

 

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development (“R&D”) costs are charged to expense as incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries, project materials, contract labor and other costs associated with ongoing product development and enhancement efforts. R&D expenses were $0 for both the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first in, first out basis and includes the following amounts:

 

   March 31,
2024		   December 31,
2023		 
   (unaudited)   * 
Finished goods  $2,100   $16,800 
Total inventory  $2,100   $16,800 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for any temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.

 

ASC 740 also provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized as of March 31, 2024, and 2023. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

 

The Company has filed federal and state tax returns through December 31, 2022. The tax periods for the years ending December 31, 2020, through 2022 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE

 

Products Revenue

 

Product revenue generated from contracts with customers, for the manufacture of products for the removal and treatment of hazardous vapor and gases. Total estimated revenue includes all of the following: (1) the basic contract price, (2) contract options, and (3) change orders. Once contract performance is underway, the Company may experience changes in conditions, client requirements, specifications, designs, materials, and expectations regarding the period of performance. Such changes are “change orders” and may be initiated by us or by our clients. In many cases, agreement with the client as to the terms of change orders is reached prior to work commencing; however, sometimes circumstances require that work progress without obtaining client agreement. Revenue related to change orders is recognized as costs are incurred if it is probable that costs will be recovered by changing the contract price. The Company does not incur pre-contract costs. Under the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company found no change in the manner product revenue is recognized. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses are identified and included as additional loss. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts are shown separately as liabilities on the balance sheet, if significant, except in circumstances in which related costs are accumulated on the balance sheet, in which case the provisions are deducted from the accumulated costs. A provision as a liability is reported as a current liability.

 

 

The Company includes in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to contracts realizable and payable. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent the excess of contract costs and profits recognized to date over billings to date and are recognized as a current asset. Revenue contract liabilities represent the excess of billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits recognized to date and are recognized as a current liability.

 

Products revenue also includes media sales which are recognized as the product is shipped to the customer for use.

Increase (decrease)  $75,600   $40,300   $(262,500)  $(22,400)  $- 

 

The majority of the Company’s revenue is generally invoiced on a weekly or monthly basis, and the payments are generally received within approximately 30-60 days. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts that are refundable.

 

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was approximately $0.9 million, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 85% of this revenue over the next 12 months.

 

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amounts to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

LEASES

NOTE 6 – LEASES

 

The Company has entered into operating leases primarily for real estate. These leases have terms which range from 1 to 8 years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from 1 year to month-to-month and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. These operating leases are included in “Right of use assets” on the Company’s March 31, 2024, Consolidated Balance Sheets and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make lease payments are included in “Current portion of lease liabilities” and “Lease liabilities net of current portion” on the Company’s March 31, 2024, Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $175,700 and $200,600, respectively. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $20,900 in operating lease costs for right-of-use assets.

 

Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.

Paragon Waste Solutions LLC

 

Since its inception through March 31, 2024, the Company has provided approximately $6.4 million in funding to PWS for working capital and the further development and construction of various prototypes and commercial waste destruction units. No members of PWS have made capital contributions or other funding to PWS other than SEER. The intent of the operating agreement is to provide the funding as an advance against future earnings distributions made by PWS.

 

Paragon Southwest Medical Waste

 

On July 20, 2022, PWS transferred all patents owned covering medical waste destruction, and related technology, to its joint venture, Paragon Southwest Medical Waste (“PSMW”), in exchange for units in PSMW. The units in PSMW transferred in connection with this transaction increased SEER’s equity in PSMW to approximately 30%, on a total consolidated basis. This transaction also canceled the irrevocable license and royalty agreement, and the management agreement between PWS and PSMW.

 

On June 30, 2023, the Company exchanged its interest in PSMW in exchange for a 2% interest in Amlon Holdings when PSWM was acquired by Amlon Holdings.

NET GAIN OR LOSS PER SHARE

NOTE 14 – NET GAIN OR LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic net gain or loss per share is computed by dividing net gain or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net gain or loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation when their effect would be anti-dilutive. For three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted share calculations because they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net losses incurred for the respective period, or were dilutive, but the exercise prices were above the stock price for the entire period, deeming them not to be converted, or exercised during the period. Accordingly, basic shares equal diluted shares for all periods presented.

Mar. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the forecasted cash flows used in the impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets. The carrying amount of intangible assets; valuation allowances and reserves for receivables; revenue recognition related to contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method; and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported consolidated net loss.

 
Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that superseded most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of the guidance is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (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 the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services. Other major provisions of the guidance include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. (See Note 3)

 

 
Research and Development

Research and Development

 

Research and development (“R&D”) costs are charged to expense as incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries, project materials, contract labor and other costs associated with ongoing product development and enhancement efforts. R&D expenses were $0 for both the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.

 
Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first in, first out basis and includes the following amounts:

   (unaudited)   * 
Finished goods  $2,100   $16,800 
Total inventory  $2,100   $16,800 

 
Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for any temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.

 

ASC 740 also provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized as of March 31, 2024, and 2023. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

 

The Company has filed federal and state tax returns through December 31, 2022. The tax periods for the years ending December 31, 2020, through 2022 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.
