BUSINESS WARRIOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY 31, 2024 (Unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Organization — Business Warrior Corporation (the Company” or “Business Warrior”) was originally incorporated under the name Kading Companies, S.A., under the International Business Companies Ordinance of the Territory of the British Virgin Islands on October 10, 1995. Kading Companies was traded on the Pink Sheets of the OTC Markets under the stock ticker KDNG. On January 27, 2020, Kading Companies was redomiciled in Wyoming. Bluume, LLC was founded in 2014 and was a sales and marketing organization that provided small businesses with basic advertising, merchant services, white label Point of Sale systems, and a white label business analytics software. On January 31, 2020, Bluume, LLC completed a triangular reverse merger with Kading Companies (formerly KDNG) and changed its name to Business Warrior. It is currently an active corporation in the state of Wyoming. The previous Bluume team took over all operations of the Company and formed a new business plan, which replaced all former plans of the previous management team at Kading Companies. In July 2020, the Company changed its stock ticker to BZWR.
On March 18, 2022, the Company acquired Helix House, LLC, a premium marketing agency that provides small business advertising services including digital marketing. Additionally, on June 18, 2022, the Company acquired FluidFi Inc., dba Alchemy Technology, a lending technology company that builds fully customized lending end-to-ending lending solutions.
Nature of Operations — Business Warrior has three divisions of the company: Helix House, LLC, Alchemy Technologies, and Business Warrior. Helix House is a premium marketing agency that provides small business advertising services including digital marketing (YouTube, Google, social media), traditional marketing (billboards, mailers, fliers, etc.), and social media content. Alchemy builds and manages lending software technology for enterprise businesses which are fully customized for each client. Through the combination of services from Helix House and Alchemy, Business Warrior offers a full service lending as a service solution known as PayPlan: a comprehensive lending software platform that includes marketing services to drive applicants for lenders and merchants.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. For the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2024, the Company had $
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Successful integration of the Company’s recent business acquisitions and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, and ultimately achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity investments or achieve an adequate sales level.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated and wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect the elimination of all significant inter-company accounts and transactions.
These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
F-5 |
Table of Contents |
The financial results for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 include adjustments that are part of our ongoing efforts to enhance financial accuracy and operational efficiency. As a result, the financial performance for this quarter may not be indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The adjustments made are expected to influence our financial performance over a longer period, and as such, the outcomes for this quarter should be considered in the context of a full year’s performance. A more comprehensive assessment of our annual results will be provided in our year-end financial statements.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual events and results could materially differ from those assumptions and estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions, and at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.
Intangible Assets — Certain intangible assets arose from the acquisition of Helix House, LLC on March 18, 2022 and consist of the following, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives, if applicable:
|
| Estimated |
|
Asset |
| Useful Life (Years) |
|
Customer Relationships |
|
| |
Trademarks |
|
| |
Non-Compete Agreements |
|
|
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets.
Cost and accumulated depreciation for property retired or disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Investments — The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which requires the Company to measure all equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in earnings. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, marketable equity securities not accounted for under the equity method were classified as trading or available-for-sale. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities classified as trading securities were recognized in net income. The Company’s investments are securities traded over a broker-dealer network. Any unrealized gains/losses are recognized in “Other income”.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Potential impairments of long-lived assets are reviewed when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall,” impairment is determined when estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value. No impairment has been recorded for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024.
Goodwill — The Company’s goodwill balance of $
F-6 |
Table of Contents |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the probability of future collection. The probability of future collection is based on specific considerations of historical loss patterns and an assessment of the continuation of such patterns based on past collection trends and known or anticipated future economic events that may impact collectability. The probability of future collection is also assessed by geography. Accounts receivable was evaluated as of May 31, 2024 and determined there are no uncollectible accounts.
Current portion of Notes Receivable, net — Notes receivable are recorded at their principal amounts, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. To date, losses resulting from uncollected receivables have not exceeded management’s expectations. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and administrative expenses. Our federal tax return and any state tax returns are not currently under examination.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company’s main revenue stream is from sales of products. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
The Company has three main sources of revenue. Helix House is a premium marketing agency that charges monthly service fees and one-time project charges for providing small business advertising services including digital marketing (YouTube, Google, social media), traditional marketing (billboards, mailers, fliers, etc.), and social media content. FluidFi Inc, dba Alchemy builds fully customized lending end-to-end lending software solutions for banks, lenders, and financial technology firms. Alchemy charges monthly recurring fees for each client’s software-as-a-service as well as contracted work for custom software development. Business Warrior collects revenue for building software lending solutions, and sales and marketing solutions associated with each lending client. Business Warrior Funding collects principal and interest payments for providing business loans to small businesses.
Identify the customer contract
A customer contract is generally identified when the Company and a customer have executed an arrangement that calls for the Company to grant access to its online software products and provide professional services in exchange for consideration from the customer.
F-7 |
Table of Contents |
Identify performance obligations that are distinct
A performance obligation is a promise to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and a company’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company has determined that subscriptions for its online software products are distinct because, once a customer has access to the online software product is fully functional and does not require any additional development, modification, or customization. Professional services sold are distinct because the customer benefits from the on-boarding and training to make better use of the online software products it purchased.
Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies. The Company estimates any variable consideration to which it will be entitled at contract inception, and reassesses at each reporting date, when determining the transaction price. The Company does not include variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when any uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer. The Company determines the SSP of its goods and services based upon the average sales prices for each type of online software product and professional services sold. In instances where there are not sufficient data points, or the selling prices for a particular online software product or professional service are disparate, the Company estimates the SSP using other observable inputs, such as similar products or services.
Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied
Revenues are recognized when or as control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers. Revenue from online software products is recognized ratably over the subscription period beginning on the date the Company’s online software products are made available to customers. Most subscription contracts are one year or less. The Company recognizes revenue from on-boarding, training, and consulting services as the services are provided. Cash payments received in advance of providing subscription or services are recorded to deferred revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue from the Company’s business lending solution is recognized as interest income and origination fees, based upon the loan that is issued to each customer.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share — The Company computes income per common share, in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. No potential dilutive common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a loss is reported. There are currently
Fair Value Measurements — ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Advertising and Promotion — The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising, marketing, and public relations to expense as incurred. The Company has $

Cost of Sales — This is comprised of referral and sales commission, advertising for our premium marketing clients, website hosting fees, and data fees for our software subscribers.
Leases — Under ASC Top 842, ”Leases”, the Company determines if an agreement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease – right to use, current portion of operating lease liability, and operating lease liability, less current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of long-term debt, net and long-term debt, less current portion and debt issuance costs in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
As permitted under ASU Topic 842, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions of ASU 2016-02 to short term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Segment Reporting — In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*, enhancing segment expense transparency. We have adopted this standard in the current fiscal year. We have determined that we have two reportable segments, which includes Helix House and Other. The segments were identified based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who we have determined to be our Chief Executive Officer, manages and evaluates performance and allocates resources. See Note 4.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
4. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
The Company has identified reportable segments as those consolidated subsidiaries that represent
EBITDA is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. As the Company uses the term, EBITDA is defined as income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company’s chief operating decision maker believes EBITDA is a meaningful measure and is superior to available GAAP measures as it represents a transparent view of the Company’s operating performance that is unaffected by fluctuations in property, equipment and leasehold additions. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses EBITA to perform periodic reviews and comparison of operating trends and identify strategies to improve the allocation of resources amongst segments.
As of May 31, 2024, the Company’s reportable segments were as follows:
| · | Helix House |
| · | Other |
The Other category includes the Company’s corporate headquarters and a less significant operating segment which was the FluidFi acquisition obtained during the year ended August 31, 2023.

** On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with multiple debt holders whereby the Company and holders agreed to exchange debt principal and accrued interest and accrued default interest for new notes (“Exchange Notes”). The Exchange Notes have no interest rate but contain conversion options. Whenever an exchange of debt instruments adds a substantive conversion option or eliminates a conversion option that was substantive at the date of the modification or exchange, it results in recording an extinguishment gain or loss. As a result, the extinguishment charge was calculated as follows:

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The U.S. Federal income tax rate is

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not repaid any of the matured notes and has been notified by IPSI that it is in default on the outstanding obligations. The Company plans to work with IPSI to negotiate mutually agreeable terms for a consolidated note that would restructure the outstanding balances and establish revised repayment terms. Management believes that restructuring these obligations will provide the Company with additional flexibility in managing its liquidity while maintaining a positive relationship with the lender. However, there is no assurance that the Company will reach an agreement with IPSI on revised terms. If an agreement is not reached, IPSI may pursue additional remedies available under the terms of the notes.

On August 2, 2024, the Company filed an 8-K report outlining the terms of a merger with Innovative Payment Solutions (IPSI). On January 22, 2025, the Company and IPSI mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger, which was originally signed on July 28, 2024. This decision was made in the best interest of both parties and reflects a shared understanding that discontinuing the merger is the most prudent course of action. The termination of the Merger Agreement also includes the termination of agreements among certain stockholders of Business Warrior, including CEO Rhett Doolittle and President Jonathan Brooks, regarding their commitment to vote in favor of the merger and related transactions. The Company does not anticipate any material adverse effects from the termination of the merger, and management will continue to focus on its core operations and strategic initiatives.
In a recent settlement on September 24, 2024, Business Warrior Corporation (BWC) and multiple associated parties have resolved ongoing disputes across several legal cases. This settlement includes actions filed in both federal and state courts involving claims and counterclaims among BWC, FluidFi, Constellation, Timothy Li, and other parties.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Our management’s discussion and analysis provides a narrative about our financial performance and condition that should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward looking statements reflecting our current expectations and estimates and assumptions about events and trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the sections of our annual report on Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors”.
Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended May 31, 2024 and 2023
Revenues
For the three months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, we had revenues of $555,129 and $910,719 respectively. The majority of the decrease is due to the loss of marketing agency revenue from the Helix division. This revenue was not profitable and enabled the Company to reduce the cost of sales and other expenses to contribute to our plan to reach profitability as quickly as possible.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, we had operating expenses of $694,994 and $787,932, a decrease of 12%, primarily due to a decrease of $91,882 in general and administrative expenses and $18,937 in advertising and promotion. These decreases were all due to operational efficiencies attained from the acquisitions, cost cutting measures, and a reduction in Company marketing while we focused on building and releasing our new product (PayPlan). This was offset by an increase in professional services of $24,405 due to an increase in attorney and accounting fees.
Net Loss
Our Net income (Loss) for the three months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, was $(1,627,912) versus $(249,300) respectively. The majority of the increase is attributable to an in increase in other expenses of $1,359,922 which was primarily attributable to an increase of $152,515 in interest expenses and an increase of $982,036 in the change of fair value of a derivative liability.
For the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2024 and 2023
Revenues
For the nine months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, we had revenues of $2,352,458 and $3,243,742 respectively. The decrease was due to $469,697 of revenue accrued in the prior year from one client on a 12-month contract that ended in October of 2022, so $0 was represented in the current 9-month period. The Alchemy division experienced a decrease of $470,742 due to the fallout from the loss of clients and misrepresentation of the inherited product development from the previous ownership group that we acquired Alchemy from. The Helix division had a decrease of $388,807 in marketing agency revenue compared to the previous period. The decreases were slightly offset by a net positive increase of $297,500 in revenue generated by PayPlan compared to the previous period.
Operating Expenses
For the nine months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, we had operating expenses of $2,177,357 and $2,942,708, a decrease of 26%, due to a decrease in salaries and wages, General and Administrative expenses, and advertising and promotion. These decreases were all due to operational efficiencies attained from the acquisitions and cost cutting measures. This was offset by an increase in professional services of $55,504 due to an increase in attorney and accounting fees associated with the lawsuit with the previous ownership of Alchemy, which was subsequently settled in September of 2024.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, was $(5,845,255) versus $(3,735,794) respectively. The majority of the increase is attributable to an in increase in other expenses of $2,491,157 which was primarily attributable to an increase of $2,172,212 from the loss on exchange of debt, and an increase of $1,180,792 in the change of fair value of a derivative liability. Overall, for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company had an $2,109,461 increase compared to the nine-month period ended May 31, 2023, which is a 57% increase. Additionally, the Company’s loss from operations decreased by $381,696 in the recent nine-month period compared to the same period the previous year, which is a 19% improvement.

Assets and Liabilities
Our total current assets decreased to $212,591 from $510,939 for the period ended May 31, 2024, compared to August 31, 2023. This majority of the decrease was due to an increase in Accounts Receivables collected.
Total current liabilities were $5,935,003 at May 31, 2024, a slight decrease compared to $6,264,834 at August 31, 2023. The decrease reflects an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities to $2,457,952 compared to $1,904,281 on August 31, 2023, but offset by a decrease of $950,000 in a payable that was converted to equity associated with the acquisition of Helix House.
Total liabilities increased to $13,326,888 for the period ended May 31, 2024, compared to $8,707,254 for the period ended August 31, 2023. The increase is due to an increase in a non-cash derivative liability to $3,464,357 at May 31, 2024 compared to $325,246 at August 31, 2023. Additionally, the convertible notes payable of $3,371,540 was an increase of $1,741,739 compared to the line of credit balance of $1,629,801 on August 31, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used by operating activities
The Company’s net cash from operating activities was $(845,045) for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to $(1,149,391) for the nine months ended May 31, 2023. The decrease is due to non-cash adjustments including amortization of debt discount of $(1,170,656) and loss on exchange of debt $(2,172,212), change in the fair value of derivative liability of $(802,055).
Cash provided by investing activities
Net cash from investing activities was $46,260 for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, as compared to net cash of $444,339 for the same period the previous year ended May 31, 2023. The 2023 investing cash flows were higher due to fair estimates of the purchase price of the Helix House acquisition related to intangible assets. Additionally, cash flows were minimal from payments received on loans receivable in 2024 of $46,260 compared to $131,328 in 2023 as the company stopped issuing new loans therefor had less money to collect.
Cash provided by financing activities
Net cash from financing activities decreased to $738,928 as of May 31, 2024, as compared to $682,775 for the same period in 2023. The current period’s financing was driven by:
| · | Proceeds from convertible notes payable $(596,000). |
| · | Proceeds from notes payable $(75,000). |
| · | Related party note repayments $(93,182). |
Historically we have experienced, and we continue to experience, net losses, net losses from operations, negative cash flow from operating activities, and working capital deficits. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

We anticipate that operating losses will continue in the near term. We intend to meet near-term obligations with funding options that are already in place as we continue to grow revenue from operations and improve profits margins.
While management believes our business plans help mitigate the substantial doubt that we are a going concern, there is no guarantee that our plans will be successful or if they are, will fully alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt that we are a going concern.
