ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Amesite’s smart, intuitive learning environments help organizations thrive. Amesite is a high tech artificial intelligence software company offering a cloud-based platform and content creation services for business and university-delivered education and upskilling. Amesite-offered courses and programs are branded to our part. Amesite uses artificial intelligence technologies to provide customized environments for learners, easy-to-manage interfaces for instructors, and greater accessibility for learners in the US education market and beyond. The Company leverages existing institutional infrastructures, adding mass customization and cutting-edge technology to provide cost-effective, scalable and engaging experiences for learners anywhere.

We are passionate about improving the learner experience and learner outcomes in online learning products, and improving our Customers’ ability to create and deliver both. We are focused on creating the best possible technology solutions and have been awarded an innovation award for our product. We are committed to our team, and have been recognized with 10 workplace excellence awards, 4 of them national.

Amesite offers our white label platform to our Customers: universities, museums, businesses and government agencies. Amesite’s Customers offer learning to their users, who are students, professional learners and / or their own employees. Amesite derives revenue from the licensing of our platform, and user fees associated with its use by our Customers for their users. Some of our Customers generate revenue using our systems, including Universities and Museums.

Our Strategy

We deliver Learning Community Environment^®s (LCE^SMs) to businesses and educational institutions (EIs) that enable them to offer branded learning products to their students, professional learners or employees with ease. Our business model offers flexibility for our Customers. Our Customers license our platform and can also contract with to us to create and maintain customized learning products, or easily launch their own learning products on the platform. We have entered into master service agreements with our Customers, including, but not limited to, universities such as Wayne State University and enterprises such as The Henry Ford Museum. These agreements include statements of work detailing the services to be rendered and programs or products to be delivered on the platform. We use the proprietary data we collect on learner behavior and responses with their consent, to deliver to learners engaging, effective courses and programs. Our Customers gain efficiency, flexibility and can generate high return on investment and revenue through partnership with us, because of the speed, flexibility, effectiveness and scalability of the LCE^SMs we build for them.

Universities need to be able to launch programs that upskill their alumni and other professionals, accessibly and at scale. Museums need to engage their patrons and visitors with high quality digital learning opportunities. Businesses need learning systems that enable them to upskill people quickly and efficiently. Retention and execution of strategic plans require that employees stay engaged, and learn effectively. Government needs to be able to offer learning programs that allow job seekers to advance skills. Amesite’s cloud-based platform addresses all of these key needs.

We target Customers who already have large cohorts of users who can consume their delivered learning programs. Our revenues are derived from license fees, but more importantly, by user fees, that we believe will enable us to scale revenue. Importantly, we aim to serve our Customers by delivering learning programs at price points that are accessible and are highly targeted to their needs.

Our Proprietary Technology

We believe that online learning products are essential for accessibility, engagement and scalability for businesses and EIs alike. We utilize artificial intelligence to achieve improved engagement, and continuous integration of current, qualified information into our learning products.

Our technology utilizes a flexible and scalable full stack solution, with robust tools powering front-end technology. Our code architecture offers outstanding accessibility and agility for engineers, using best-in-class languages for both client and server-side functions. We also use tools employed by many high-end platforms. Our architecture enables us to achieve full integration of best-in-class third party tools, and custom-built features, delivering on-demand and as-needed, such as leading calendar platform integrations, and high quality, encrypted video calling.

Our architecture enables us to utilize artificial intelligence algorithms to ultimately improve learning outcomes. Much as artificial intelligence algorithms presently recognize and respond to natural language on commercial platforms, predict behaviors and deliver suggestions, our algorithms have been developed to assist learners in accessing, utilizing and remaining engaged with platform content, their instructors and their peers.

We generate content for our Customers using the highest standards in business and higher education, and our business model enables us to deliver content for our Customers efficiently and rapidly. Rapidly evolving technology has driven the need to continuously upskill students and workforces, and we use the highest possible standards to deliver this content according to Customer needs. This substantially reduces the time it takes for traditional program creation by businesses or EIs.

We market to our Customers, and enable them to offer and monetize learning products, or to deliver learning products to their own employees efficiently and cost effectively. Our Customers want the capability of delivery to their own Customers, and are best able to market to them. We deliver the content and technology to enable this.

We protect and utilize learner data solely to improve learning outcomes. Learner data is collected with learner permission, and information about learner behavior, study preferences and preference for types of material delivered as part of learning products, will be used to improve learning outcomes and learner experiences. We will validate algorithms using both offline and online testing. By correlating learner behaviors with specific outcomes as identified by qualified instructors, we will train our algorithms specifically for important learning outcomes, enabling it to be a useful tool for instructors. We believe that the combinations of information that will be collected through our educational products, and outcomes measured using our online learning products will be unique, and constantly improving. We will never sell or distribute our learner data to third parties without the explicit permission of learners. We will not deliver unwanted content or advertising to learners or to Customer personnel. Our proprietary technology is developed solely for purposes of improving learner experiences and outcomes, and improving the ability of our Customers to deliver outstanding educational products.

Our Research and Development Programs

We use advanced technologies to create effective and accessible learning environments. We seek to improve learning at many levels, including college and professional. Our research and development programs will expand continuously based on learner preferences, outcomes and the desires of our Customers. Some of these will include:

●

Improvements in learner engagement with cloud-based platforms. We will continuously gather data on how learners engage with us and other online platforms, and conduct research and development to create and incorporate useful tools for learning on our platform.

●

Improvements in instructor experience using our platform. We will continuously develop tools designed to improve the ability of our Customers to deliver timely and relevant content, deliver assessments which are fair, correctly represent educational objectives and give repeatable outcomes when employed on our platform.

●

Integration of new technology in the delivery of learning products. A “technology stack” is a combination of software products and programming languages used to create our platform. We will continuously develop improvements to our technology stack, inventing and integrating best-in-class online engagement features. These will range from invention of novel user experience features, to integration of capabilities offered by other vendors and developers.

●

Qualification of information for use by learners in all sectors. We plan to provide both our Customers and our learners with the constantly improving ability to find and integrate qualified information into products on our platform, and maximize learner ability to utilize qualified information, designed to offer learners the most carefully curated, most relevant, timely and engaging materials in every discipline in which we offer products.

Our Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property rights include patent applications, trade secrets, trademark rights, and contractual agreements. Our patent applications are directed to our proprietary technology, including an artificial intelligence platform for learning, and will seek patent protection for our designs, development, and related alternatives by filing and prosecuting patent applications in the U.S. and other countries as appropriate.

We’ve received two U.S. patents and currently have five pending U.S. patent applications, including one to cover the artificial intelligence platform, and others related to security, power consumption, blockchain, design and other technologies, including methods and systems. Any patent issued from these applications are expected to expire in 2038, not including any applicable patent term adjustment or extension or design patents.

We have protected our source codes, methodologies, algorithms, and techniques directed to other aspects of our artificial intelligence learning platform using our trade secret rights. We have received service marks for AMESITE^SM, KEEP LEARNING^SM and LCE^SM from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We have registered a service mark for LEARNING COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT^® with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We have also secured domain names, including amesite.com, amesite.co, amesite.net, and others.

We ensure that we own intellectual property created for us by signing agreements with employees, independent contractors, consultants, companies, and any other third party that creates intellectual property for us or that assign any intellectual property rights to us. Portions of our platform may rely upon third-party licensed intellectual property.

We have established business procedures designed to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information, including the use of confidentiality agreements with employees, independent contractors, consultants and entities with which we conduct business.

Competition

The online and software industries for higher education are characterized by rapid evolution of technologies, fierce competition, government regulation, and strong defense of intellectual property. The overall market for technology solutions that enable providers to deliver education online is highly fragmented, rapidly evolving and subject to changing technology, shifting needs of learners and educators and frequent introductions of new methods of delivering education online. While we believe that our platform, programs, technology, knowledge, experience, and resources provide us with competitive advantages, we face competition from major online companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and public and private research institutions, among others.

Any learning product that we successfully develop and commercialize will compete with current learning products. Key product features that would affect our ability to effectively compete with other course offerings include efficiency, security and convenience, and availability. Our competitors fall primarily into the following groups:

●

Online Program Management (OPM) firms, who create and launch educational products for EIs and businesses, using either their own or others’ Learning Management Systems (LMSs).

●

Learning Management System (LMS) technology firms, who offer technology platforms suitable for offering online educational or training products

●

Learning product aggregators, who offer multiple ‘institutions or businesses’ learning products on online platforms for direct purchase by learners, or through licenses by institutions.

Many of the companies, colleges, or universities against which we may compete have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in education, software design and development, and have already obtained approvals and marketing approved products. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified engineers, scientists, and management personnel, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs.

We expect that the competitive landscape will continue to expand as the market for online programs at nonprofit institutions matures. We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include the following:

●

brand awareness and reputation;

●

ability of online programs to deliver desired learner outcomes;

●

robustness and evolution of technology offering; and

●

breadth and depth of service offering.

We believe we compete favorably on the basis of these factors. Our ability to remain competitive will depend, to a great extent, on our ability to consistently deliver high-quality offerings; meet client needs for content development; attract, support and retain learners; and deliver desired outcomes for our Customers and their learners.

Government Regulation and Product Approval

The education industry is heavily regulated. Institutions of higher education that award degrees and certificates to signify the successful completion of an academic program are subject to regulation from three primary entities, namely, the U.S. Department of Education (the “DOE”), accrediting agencies, and state licensing authorities. Each of these entities promulgates and enforces its own laws, regulations and standards, which we refer to collectively as education laws.

We contract with higher education institutions that are subject to education laws. In addition, we are required to comply with certain education laws as a result of our role as a service provider to institutions of higher education, either directly or indirectly through our contractual arrangements with Customers. Our failure, or that of our Customers, to comply with education laws could adversely impact our operations. As a result, we work closely with our Customers to maintain compliance with education laws.

We will abide by education laws, including incentive compensation rules, misrepresentation rules, accreditation rules and standards, among state and federal regulations. We also closely monitor state law developments and we will work closely with our Customers to assist them with obtaining any required approvals.

Our activities on behalf of our Customers are also subject to other federal and state laws. These regulations include, but are not limited to, consumer marketing and unfair trade practices laws and regulations, including those promulgated and enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, as well as federal and state data protection and privacy requirements.

Sales and Marketing

We plan to grow our sales and marketing program as we build our Customer base, advancing from our small, direct sales force to a distribution network that has existing relationships with colleges, universities, non-profit organizations and businesses.

We also intend to develop a branding strategy to introduce and support our platform. The strategy may include our presence at colleges, universities, and other commercial institutions on a national, state, and regional basis to engage and educate users of our products, as well as engaging in a variety of other direct marketing methods to educational institutions and businesses. We plan to pursue selected business opportunities, including joint developments, collaborations and acquisitions that have the potential to build sales more rapidly. We aim to develop and pursue such opportunities on a consistent basis to grow the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as general economic and business risks and the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The occurrence of any of the events or circumstances described below or other adverse events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. Additional risks or uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a short operating history in online programs and may fail to grow our Customer base.

We were incorporated in November 2017 and have no operating history in offering online courses. Historically, we have had no significant tangible assets other than cash. If our assumptions about market needs are incorrect, we may fail to launch courses and gain initial Customers. Even if we launch courses in a timely manner, our assumptions regarding recovery of upfront costs and growth of revenue may differ substantially from reality, in which case we will fail to achieve our revenue goals.

We have not developed a strong Customer base and we have not generated sustainable revenue since inception. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future. We will incur significant losses in launching products and we may not realize sufficient subscriptions or profits in order to sustain our business.

We have not yet developed a strong Customer base and we have not generated sustainable revenue since inception. We are subject to the substantial risk of failure facing businesses seeking to develop and commercialize new products and technologies. Maintaining and improving our platform will require significant capital. We also incur substantial accounting, legal and other overhead costs as a public company. If our offerings to Customers are unsuccessful, result in insufficient revenue or result in us not being able to sustain revenue, we will be forced to reduce expenses, which may result in an inability to gain new Customers.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We are in the early stages of developing our Customer base and have not completed our efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenue sufficient to cover our costs over an extended period of time. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had net losses of $9,059,923 and $11,586,292, respectively. On February 16, 2022, the Company sold 3,750,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $2,509,550 after deducting the underwriting commission and expenses. On September 1, 2022, the Company sold 4,181,821 shares of common stock for approximately $1.85 million, net of financing fees and expenses. The assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations is inherently judgmental, subjective and susceptible to change. Based on their current forecast, management believes that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to maintain the Company’s planned operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements; however, there is uncertainty in the forecast and therefore the Company cannot assert that it is probable. Further uncertainty remains regarding our ability to implement our business plan and to grow our business without additional financing. Our long-term future growth and success is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our business plan or that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell securities or borrow funds on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to generate significant revenue or obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fully implement our business plan and grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources. The Company has considered both quantitative and qualitative factors that are known or reasonably knowable as of the date of these financial statements are issued and concluded that there are conditions present in the aggregate that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Our business model relies on us successfully licensing our platform and providing services to colleges, universities, and businesses for creation and online delivery of their learning products. If we fail to attract Customers, or to negotiate agreements with them that provide us with sustainable revenue, it will impair our ability to operate and grow our business.

We may not be able to convince educational institutions and businesses that our methods will produce better outcomes than their current approaches to online learning products, in a cost-effective manner. We may also not be able to convince them to dedicate significant resources to moving courses onto our platform and gain their trust in operating them collaboratively. If our learning products are not better, or only modestly better than the incumbent versions, we will be unable to grow and gain more Customers, which will materially harm our business.

We will be relying on our college, university and museum Customers to drive enrollment and revenue and continue to license our platform and pay for our services.

Factors within and outside of our control will affect enrollments and include the following:

●

Negative perceptions about online courses. Students may reject the opportunity to take courses online, when residential courses are offered as an option, due to negative perceptions of online education.

●

Ineffective marketing efforts. Our Customers’ marketing efforts are required to drive enrollment of our online courses. If our Customers fail to successfully execute our marketing strategies, they may not continue to license our platform.

●

Damage to Customer reputation. Our Customers’ rankings, reputation and marketing efforts strongly affect enrollments, none of which we control. If we fail to gain Customers with strong, stable reputations and rankings, they will fail to achieve stable enrollments.

●

Lack of subscription to our courses. We do not control the courses required for a degree by our Customers, and if the courses we offer do not build to a degree, enrollments could suffer.

●

Reduced enrollment in higher education due to lack of funding. Significant reductions in student funding, through grants or loans, would reduce enrollments in courses on our platform and could adversely affect our business model.

●

General economic conditions. Any contraction in the economy could be expected to reduce enrollment in higher education, whether by reducing funding, reducing corporate allowances for continuing education, general reductions in employment or savings or other factors. Any of these could substantially reduce licensing of our platform.

We will be relying on our enterprise Customers to prioritize providing online learning programs to train or upskill their workforces.

Factors within and outside of our control will affect enrollments and include the following:

●

General economic conditions. Any contraction in the economy could be expected to cause business leaders to deprioritize workforce training.

●

Negative perceptions about online courses. Workers may reject the opportunity to take courses online through their employers.

We will face intense competition, which may cause pricing pressures, decreased gross margins and loss of market share, and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will compete with other online education services companies, and colleges and universities themselves. We expect competition in our markets to intensify as new competitors enter the online education market, existing competitors merge or form alliances and new technologies emerge. Our competitors may introduce new solutions and technologies that are superior to our platform. Certain of our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in Customer requirements or may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can.

Increased competition could also result in pricing pressures, declining average selling prices for our service model, decreased gross margins and loss of market share. We will need to make substantial investments to develop these enhancements and technologies to our platform, and we cannot assure investors that we will have funds available for these investments or that these enhancements and technologies will be successful. If a competing technology emerges that is, or is perceived to be, superior to our existing technology and we are unable to adapt and compete effectively, our market share and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected, and our business, revenue, and results of operations could be harmed.

We are dependent on the services of certain key management personnel, employees, advisors, and consultants. If we are unable to retain or motivate such individuals or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.

We depend on the services of a number of key management personnel, employees, advisors and consultants and our future performance will largely depend on the talents and efforts of such individuals. We do not currently maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our employees, except for our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of one or more of such key individuals, or failure to find a suitable successor, could hamper our efforts to successfully operate our business and achieve our business objectives. Our future success will also depend on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition in our industry for qualified employees is intense, and our compensation arrangements may not always be successful in attracting new employees and/or retaining and motivating our existing employees. Future acquisitions by us may also cause uncertainty among our current employees and employees of the acquired entity, which could lead to the departure of key individuals. Such departures could have an adverse impact on the anticipated benefits of an acquisition.

We have risk factors within and outside of our control that may inhibit our ability to deliver products on our platform.

Our Customers will rely on us to deliver a stable platform, with correct measures of performance in a manner that instructors, lecturers, graduate student assistants and professors can easily use.

Even if we are successful in delivering a stable platform, our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. The following factors may affect our operating results:

	●	our ability to compete effectively;

	●	our ability to continue to attract users to our platform;

	●	our ability to attract new Customers to our platform;

	●	our ability to attract colleges and universities to our platform;

	●	the mix in our net revenues generated from Customers and colleges and universities;

	●	the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure;

	●	our focus on long term goals over short-term results;

	●	the results of our investments in risky projects;

	●	general economic conditions and those economic conditions specific to our online courses;

	●	our ability to keep our platform operational at a reasonable cost and without service interruptions;

	●	the success of our geographical and product expansion;

	●	our ability to attract, motivate and retain top-quality employees;

	●	foreign, federal, state or local government regulation that could impede our ability to operate our platform;

	●	our ability to upgrade and develop our systems, infrastructure and products;

	●	new technologies or services that block our platform and user adoption of these technologies;

	●	the costs and results of litigation that we may face;

	●	our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;

	●	our ability to forecast revenue;

	●	our ability to manage fraud and other activities that violate our terms of services;

	●	our ability to successfully integrate and manage our colleges and universities; and

	●	geopolitical events such as war, threat of war, or terrorist actions.

We may have risks related to our financial condition.

We have a history of losses, will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. We do not expect more than nominal revenues until at least some point during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. If our expectations prove incorrect, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to pursue the development of our platform, invest in marketing, sales and distribution of our platform to grow our business, acquire Customers, and commercialize our technology. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in generating sufficient revenues to offset these increased expenses. In addition, we expect to incur significant expenses related to regulatory requirements, and our ability to obtain, protect, and defend our intellectual property rights.

We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we may need to obtain substantial additional funding to continue our operations. We cannot assure you that such additional funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all.

We may have risks related to managing any growth we may experience.

We may engage in future acquisitions that could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our financial condition and operating results.

While there are currently no specific plans to acquire any other businesses, we may, in the future, make acquisitions of, or investments in, companies that we believe have products or capabilities that are a strategic or commercial fit with our current business or otherwise offer opportunities. In connection with these acquisitions or investments, we may:

	●	issue shares of our common stock or other forms of equity that would dilute our existing stockholders’ percentage of ownership;

	●	incur debt and assume liabilities; and

	●	incur amortization expenses related to intangible assets or incur large and immediate write-offs.

We may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. If we do complete an acquisition, we cannot assure you that such acquisition will ultimately strengthen our competitive position or that such acquisition will be viewed positively by Customers, financial markets, or investors. Furthermore, future acquisitions could pose numerous additional risks to our expected operations, including:

	●	problems integrating the purchased business, products, or technologies;

	●	challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other anticipated benefits;

	●	increases to our expenses;

	●	the assumption of significant liabilities that exceed the limitations of any applicable indemnification provisions or the financial resources of any indemnifying party;

	●	inability to maintain relationships with prospective key Customers, vendors, and other business Partners of the acquired businesses;

	●	diversion of management’s attention from their day-to-day responsibilities;

	●	difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration;

	●	entrance into marketplaces where we have limited or no prior experience and where competitors have stronger marketplace positions;

	●	potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired entity;

	●	that historical financial information may not be representative or indicative of results as a combined entity; and

	●	that our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures, and our operations are vulnerable to interruption by natural disasters, terrorist activity, power loss and other events beyond our control, the occurrence of which could materially harm our business.

If our security measures or those of our future business Partners are breached or fail and result in unauthorized disclosure of data, we could lose Customers and/or fail to attract new Customers. Such breach or failure could also harm our reputation and expose us to protracted and costly lawsuits.

Our platform and computer systems store and transmit proprietary and confidential information that is subject to stringent legal and regulatory obligations. Due to the nature of our product, we face an increasing number of threats to our platform and computer systems including unauthorized activity and access, system viruses, worms, malicious code, denial of service attacks, and organized cyberattacks, any of which could breach our security and disrupt our platform. The techniques used by computer hackers and cyber criminals to obtain unauthorized access to data or to sabotage computer systems change frequently and generally are not detected until after an incident has occurred. Our cybersecurity measures or those of our future business Partners may be unable to anticipate, detect or prevent all attempts to compromise our systems or that of our future business Partners. Our internal computer systems and those of our future business Partners are or may also be vulnerable to telecommunication and electrical failures, the occurrence of which could result in material disruptions of our services. If our security measures are breached or fail because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, we could be subject to liability or our business could be interrupted, potentially over an extended period of time. Any or all of these issues could harm our reputation, adversely affect our ability to attract new Customers, cause existing Customers to scale back their offerings or elect not to renew their agreements, cause prospective students not to enroll or students to not stay enrolled in our offerings, or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other action or liability. Such issues could also cause a delay in the further development of our new technology for online education. Any reputational damage resulting from breach of our systems or disruption of our services could create distrust of our company by prospective Customers. We do not currently have cyber risk insurance. If we obtain one, such insurance may not be adequate to cover losses associated with such events, and in any case, such insurance may not cover all of the types of costs, expenses and losses we could incur to respond to and remediate a security breach. As a result, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to protect against the threat of these disruptions and security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such disruptions or breaches.

We may have risks related to regulatory requirements.

Online education is subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and review. Maintaining compliance with these requirements may result in significant additional expense to us and any failure to maintain such compliance could cause our business to suffer.

Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, mandatory product recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions. An adverse outcome in any such litigation could require us to pay contractual damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other costs. These enforcement actions could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of our management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees.

Unfavorable global economic, business, or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets, including conditions that are outside of our control and the impact of health and safety concerns, such as those relating to the current coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). The recent global financial crisis in connection with COVID-19 has caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The sale or issuance of our common stock to Lincoln Park may cause dilution and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Lincoln Park, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

On August 2, 2021, we entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and, on that date, we sold 759,109 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement for a total purchase price of $1,500,000. We also issued 152,715 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase our common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. In addition, at any time following the twentieth business day after the after the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement and that such registration statement remains effective, which we refer to as the “Commencement Date,” we have the option to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to an additional $1,000,000 of shares of common stock, subject to conditions and limitations set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. The remaining shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to Lincoln Park at our discretion from time to time over a 24-month period beginning on the Commencement Date. The purchase price for the shares that we may sell to Lincoln Park under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.

Subject to the terms of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, such as the requirement that the purchase price be at least $0.50 per share (the “Floor Price”), we generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any future sales of our shares to Lincoln Park. Additional sales of our common stock, if any, to Lincoln Park will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Lincoln Park all, some, or none of the additional shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. If and when we do sell shares to Lincoln Park, after Lincoln Park has acquired the shares, Lincoln Park may resell all or some of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to Lincoln Park by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.

On August 2, 2021, we entered the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $16.5 million in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. The shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to Lincoln Park at our discretion from time to time over an approximately 24-month period commencing on the Commencement Date.

With exception to the Floor Price requirement, we generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. Sales of our common stock, if any, under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Lincoln Park all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Lincoln Park for the shares of common stock that we may elect to sell under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock at the time we elect to sell pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date hereof and prior to any such sales, the number of shares of common stock that we will sell under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Lincoln Park will pay for shares (other than the Initial Purchase Shares) purchased from us under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

Moreover, although the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $16.5 million of our common stock to Lincoln Park, we have only registered 4,200,000 shares of our common stock for resale by Lincoln Park, consisting of (i) the 759,109 Initial Purchase Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park in the initial purchase upon our execution of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement on August 2, 2021, (ii) the 152,715 Commitment Shares that we previously issued to Lincoln Park upon execution of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement as consideration for its commitment to purchase our common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and (ii) up to 3,288,176 shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to Lincoln Park, in our sole discretion, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. If after the Commencement Date we elect to sell to Lincoln Park all of the 3,288,176 shares of common stock that are available for sale by us to Lincoln Park in Regular Purchases under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, depending on the market prices of our common stock during the applicable Regular Purchase valuation period for each Regular Purchase made pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $16.5 million total purchase commitment available to us under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity.

If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to Lincoln Park under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement more than the 4,200,000 shares in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the Total Commitment of $16.5 million under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, we must first (i) obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, unless the average per share purchase price paid by Lincoln Park for all shares of common stock sold under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $2.1080, in which case, under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Exchange Cap limitation will not apply to issuances and sales of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and (ii) file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by Lincoln Park of any such additional shares of our Common Stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any additional shares of our Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of common stock in addition to the 4,200,000 shares of common stock by Lincoln Park could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares of our common stock ultimately offered for sale by Lincoln Park is dependent upon the number of shares of common stock we ultimately sell to Lincoln Park under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to Lincoln Park. If and when we do elect to sell shares of our Common Stock to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, after Lincoln Park has acquired such shares, Lincoln Park may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from Lincoln Park in the open market at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from Lincoln Park in the open market as a result of future sales made by us to Lincoln Park at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering.

We may require additional financing to sustain our operations, without which we may not be able to continue operations, and the terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact our stockholders.

We may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to $16.5 million worth of shares of our common stock under our agreement over a 24-month period generally in amounts up to 50,000 shares of our common stock (such purchases, “Regular Purchases”), which may be increased to up to 150,000 shares of our common stock depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale, and, Lincoln Park’s committed obligation under any Regular Purchase shall not exceed $1,000,000.

The extent we rely on Lincoln Park as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. If obtaining sufficient funding from Lincoln Park were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we will need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we sell all $16.5 million under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement to Lincoln Park, we may still need additional capital to finance our future production plans and working capital needs, and we may have to raise funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Depending on the type and the terms of any financing we pursue, stockholders’ rights and the value of their investment in our common stock could be reduced. A financing could involve one or more types of securities including common stock, convertible debt or warrants to acquire common stock. These securities could be issued at or below the then prevailing market price for our common stock. In addition, if we issue secured debt securities, the holders of the debt would have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of stockholders until the debt is paid. Interest on these debt securities would increase costs and negatively impact operating results. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted.

Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects.

An active trading market for our common stock may not be sustained.

Although our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the market for our shares has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. Furthermore, the current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our common stock may impair investors’ ability to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their shares and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional intellectual property assets by using our shares as consideration.

We received a written notice from Nasdaq that we have failed to comply with certain listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, which could result in our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market.

On March 8, 2022, we received a notification from Nasdaq related to our failure to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock between January 24, 2022 and March 7, 2022, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. However, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also provide us a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. On September 6, 2022, Nasdaq granted the Company a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance by March 6, 2023. If we do not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by the end of the second compliance period, our common stock will become subject to delisting. If we are delisted from Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible for trading on an over-the-counter market. If we are not able to obtain a listing on another stock exchange or quotation service for our common stock, it may be extremely difficult or impossible for stockholders to sell their shares. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may be required to seek approval from our stockholders to affect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. However, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split would be approved by our stockholders. Further, there can be no assurance that the market price per new share of our common stock after the reverse stock split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of old shares of our common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. Even if the reverse stock split is approved by our stockholders, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing rules.

If we are delisted from Nasdaq, but obtain a substitute listing for our common stock, it will likely be on a market with less liquidity, and therefore experience potentially more price volatility than experienced on Nasdaq. Stockholders may not be able to sell their shares of common stock on any such substitute market in the quantities, at the times, or at the prices that could potentially be available on a more liquid trading market. As a result of these factors, if our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the value and liquidity of our common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants would likely be significantly adversely affected. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for our operations and/or result in a loss of confidence by investors, employees and/or business partners.

We may acquire other companies or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and adversely affect our operating results.

We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, applications and services or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our services, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated.

In addition, we do not have any experience in acquiring other businesses. If we acquire additional businesses, we may not be able to integrate the acquired personnel, operations and technologies successfully, or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition. We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to several factors, including:

	●	inability to integrate or benefit from acquired technologies or services in a profitable manner;

	●	unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;

	●	difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations and personnel of the acquired business;

	●	difficulties and additional expenses associated with supporting legacy products and hosting infrastructure of the acquired business;

	●	difficulty converting the Customers of the acquired business onto our platform and contract terms, including disparities in the revenue, licensing, support or professional services model of the acquired company;

	●	diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

	●	adverse effects to our existing business relationships with business Partners and Customers because of the acquisition;

	●	the potential loss of key employees;

	●	use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and

	●	use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial position may suffer.

Market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and share price.

Concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the U.S. mortgage market and a declining real estate market, unstable global credit markets and financial conditions, and volatile oil prices have led to periods of significant economic instability, diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, diminished expectations for the global economy and expectations of slower global economic growth going forward, increased unemployment rates, and increased credit defaults in recent years. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturns, volatile business environments and continued unstable or unpredictable economic and market conditions. If these conditions continue to deteriorate or do not improve, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to complete, more costly, and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance, and share price and could require us to delay or abandon development or commercialization plans.

Future sales and issuances of our securities could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause our share price to fall.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including research and development, increased marketing, hiring new personnel, commercializing our products, and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner, we determine from time to time. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our shares of common stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our shares.

We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to shareholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price.

We are an “emerging growth company” and can avail ourselves of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company” we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

We may be at risk of securities class action litigation.

We may be at risk of securities class action litigation. In the past, small-cap issuers have experienced significant stock price volatility, particularly when associated with regulatory requirements by governmental authorities, which our industry now increasingly faces. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business and results in a decline in the market price of our common stock.

The Nasdaq Capital Market may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Although we expect to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing standards, we cannot assure you that our securities will be, or will continue to be, listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market in the future. In order to continue to have our securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must maintain and comply with certain standards including, but not limited to, standards relating to corporate governance, stockholders’ equity and market value of listed securities. If we are unable to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market our securities may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. If our securities are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, we could face significant adverse consequences including, but not limited to:

	●	a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

	●	a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and

	●	a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Financial reporting obligations of being a public company in the United States are expensive and time-consuming, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance matters.

As a publicly traded company, we incur significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The obligations of being a public company in the United States require significant expenditures and will place significant demands on our management and other personnel, including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations regarding corporate governance practices, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the listing requirements of the stock exchange on which our securities are listed. These rules require the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and changes in corporate governance practices, among many other complex rules that are often difficult to implement, monitor and maintain compliance with. Moreover, despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, the reporting requirements, rules, and regulations will make some activities more time-consuming and costly, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all of these requirements and to keep pace with new regulations, otherwise we may fall out of compliance and risk becoming subject to litigation or being delisted, among other potential problems.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to maintain effective internal controls could cause our investors to lose confidence in us and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If our internal controls are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports in a timely manner. In connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, we have determined that we have material weaknesses relating risk assessment, control activities and monitoring control activities.

The above material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of our account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. To address the material weaknesses, we intend to (i) formalize our risk assessment process with assistance from a current finance and accounting third-party service provider, (ii) remediate the control activities material weakness through the documentation of processes and controls for transactions that occur in the course of business, and in the financial statement close, reporting and disclosure processes, and (iii) formalize our process and documentation for monitoring internal control over financial reporting.

We may not be successful in implementing these changes or in developing other internal controls, which may undermine our ability to provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on our financial and operating results. Further, we will not be able to fully assess whether the steps we are taking will remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our implementation efforts and sufficient time passes in order to evaluate their effectiveness. In addition, until we remediate these weaknesses, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. Moreover, in the future we may engage in business transactions, such as acquisitions, reorganizations or implementation of new information systems that could negatively affect our internal control over financial reporting and result in material weaknesses.

If we identify new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner, or if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we may be late with the filing of our periodic reports, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected. As a result of such failures, we could also become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could harm our reputation, financial condition or divert financial and management resources from our core business.

Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

Our directors, executive officers and each of our stockholders who owned greater than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock beneficially, as of August 17, 2022, own approximately 91% of our common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders have and will continue to have significant influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, a merger, the consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction. The interests of these stockholders may not be the same as or may even conflict with our other investors’ interests. For example, these stockholders could delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if such a change in control would benefit our other stockholders, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Common Stock as part of a sale of the Company or our assets. The significant concentration of stock ownership may negatively impact the value of our Common Stock due to potential investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between the Company and its stockholders, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers, or employees.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. However, our certificate of incorporation contains a federal forum provision which provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation are deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. The Supreme Court of Delaware has held that this type of exclusive federal forum provision is enforceable. There may be uncertainty, however, as to whether courts of other jurisdictions would enforce such provision, if applicable.

These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company and its directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find our choice of forum provisions contained in either our certificate of incorporation or bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and make a takeover more difficult to complete, even if such a transaction were in stockholders’ interest.

Our certificate of incorporation and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain certain provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control of our Company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of our stockholders. We also are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits us from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner and prohibits the voting of shares held by persons acquiring certain numbers of shares without obtaining requisite approval. The statutes and our certificate of incorporation have the effect of making it more difficult to effect a change in control of our Company.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Not applicable.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters are located at 607 Shelby Street, Suite 700 PMB 214, Detroit, Michigan 48226. The lease term for our office and laboratory space in Ann Arbor, Michigan commenced in November 2017 with an expiration date of May 5, 2019 (the “Ann Arbor Lease”). In March 2019, the Ann Arbor Lease was extended through May 2022 with monthly payments of $7,942 through May 2022. In May 2020, we terminated the Ann Arbor Lease and began operating remotely with no further lease obligations.

We believe that our existing remote environment is adequate for our current needs. We believe that suitable additional or alternative space will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in certain claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of business. Management assesses such claims and, if it considers that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, provisions for loss are made based on management’s assessment of the most likely outcome. We are not currently a party to or aware of any proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our common stock is trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AMST.”

Shareholders

As of September 20, 2022, there were approximately 40 stockholders of record of our common stock. Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, this number is not representative of the total number of beneficial owners of our stock. On September 20, 2022, the closing price of our common stock was $0.32.

Dividends

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and expansions of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the year ended June 30, 2022, 129,024 options to purchase common stock were issued to employees under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

On October 19, 2021, the Company issued 9,901 shares of its common stock totaling approximately $18,218 to various consultants in exchange for strategic investor relations services. These shares vested immediately upon issuance.

On December 2, 2021, the Company issued 4,000 shares of its common stock totaling approximately $4,480 in value to various consultants in exchange for strategic investor relations services. These shares vested immediately upon issuance.

The foregoing issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 6. [RESERVED].

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and analysis includes forward-looking information that involves risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements because of many factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Overview

The following discussion highlights our results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on our audited financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

We are not currently profitable, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will ever be profitable. We incurred a net loss of $9,059,923 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022, and we incurred a net loss of $29,277,016 for the period from November 14, 2017 (date of incorporation) to June 30, 2022.

The assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations is inherently judgmental, subjective and susceptible to change. Based on their current forecast, management believes that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to maintain the Company’s planned operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements; however, there is uncertainty in the forecast and therefore the Company cannot assert that it is probable. The Company has considered both quantitative and qualitative factors that are known or reasonably knowable as of the date of these financial statements are issued and concluded that there are conditions present in the aggregate that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In response to the conditions, management plans include generating cash by completing financing transactions, which may include offerings of common stock. However, these plans are subject to market conditions, and are not within the Company’s control, and therefore, cannot be deemed probable. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing their plans. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the requirements of the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates if conditions differ from our assumptions. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 in the “Notes to Financial Statements,” we believe the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in preparation of our financial statements.

Internally-Developed Capitalized Software

We capitalize certain costs related to internal-use software, primarily consisting of direct labor and third-party vendor costs associated with creating the software. Software development projects generally include three stages: the preliminary project stage (all costs are expensed as incurred), the application development stage (certain costs are capitalized and certain costs are expensed as incurred) and the post-implementation/operation stage (all costs are expensed as incurred). Costs capitalized in the application development stage include costs related to the design and implementation of the selected software components, software build and configuration infrastructure, and software interfaces. Capitalization of costs requires judgment in determining when a project has reached the application development stage, the proportion of time spent in the application development stage, and the period over which we expect to benefit from the use of that software. Once the software is placed in service, these costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have issued three types of stock-based awards under our stock plans: stock options, restricted stock units and stock warrants. All stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and independent contractors are measured at fair value at each grant date. We rely on the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of stock-based awards granted, and expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock prices. Stock options generally vest over two years from the grant date and generally have ten-year contractual terms. Restricted stock units generally have a term of 12 months from the closing date of the agreement. Stock warrants issued have a term of five years. Information about the assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation expense is set forth in Notes 4 and 6 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

We generate substantially all our revenue from contractual arrangements with businesses, colleges and universities and K-12 schools to provide a comprehensive platform of tightly integrated technology and technology enabled services related to product offerings. Revenue related to our licensing arrangements is generally recognized ratably over the contract term commencing upon platform delivery. Revenue related to licensing arrangements recognized in a given time period will consist of contracts that went live in the current period or that went live in previous periods and are currently ongoing.

Performance Obligations and Timing of Recognition

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the Customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

We derive revenue from annual licensing arrangements, including maintenance fees, setup fees and other fees for course development and miscellaneous items. Our contracts with Customers typically have at least a term of one year and have a single performance obligation. The promises to set up and provide a hosted platform of tightly integrated technology and services Partners need to attract, enroll, educate, and support students are not distinct within the context of the contracts. This performance obligation is satisfied as the Partners receive and consume benefits, which occurs ratably over the contract term.

Occasionally, we will provide professional services, such as custom development, non-complex implementation activities, training, and other various professional services. We evaluate these services to determine if they are distinct and separately identifiable in the context of the contract. In our contracts with Customers that contain multiple performance obligations because of this assessment, we allocate the transaction price to each separate performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of our solutions and services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when the solutions or services are sold on a standalone basis. When standalone selling prices are not observable, we utilize a cost-plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price.

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations because the consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a service that forms part of a single performance obligation (i.e., consideration received is based on the level of product offerings, which is unknown in advance). During the year ended June 30, 2022, three customers comprised approximately 69% of total revenue. During the year ended June 30, 2021, two customers comprised approximately 76% of total revenue.

We also receive fees that are fixed in nature, such as annual license and maintenance charges. The fees are independent of the number of students that are enrolled in courses with our Customers and are allocated to and recognized ratably over the service period of the contract that the Company’s platform is made available to the Customer (i.e., the Customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the software over the contract service period).

The following factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows:

	●	The majority of our Customers are private and public learning institutions across various domestic regions

	●	The majority of our Customers have annual payment terms

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Liabilities

Balance sheet items related to contracts consist of accounts receivable (net) and contract liabilities on our balance sheets. Accounts receivable (net) is stated at net realizable value, and we utilize the allowance method to provide for doubtful accounts based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the amounts due. Our estimates are reviewed and revised periodically based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. Historically, actual write-offs for uncollectible accounts have not significantly differed from prior estimates. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable balances as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We may recognize revenue prior to billing a Customer when we have satisfied or partially satisfied our performance obligations as billings to our Customers may not be made until after the service period has commenced. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, we do not have any contract assets.

Contract liabilities as of each balance sheet date represent the excess of amounts billed or received as compared to amounts recognized in revenue on our statements of operations as of the end of the reporting period, and such amounts are reflected as a current liability on our balance sheets as deferred revenue. We generally receive payments prior to completion of the service period and our performance obligations. These payments are recorded as deferred revenue until the services are delivered or until our obligations are otherwise met, at which time revenue is recognized.

Some contracts also involve annual license fees, for which upfront amounts are received from Customers. In these contracts, the license fees received in advance of the platform’s launch are recorded as contract liabilities.

Results of Operations

Revenue

We generated revenues of $697,001 for the year ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $674,580 for the year ended June 30, 2021. Revenue growth compared to prior year for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily driven by growth in the sale of annual license fees and associated implementation and customization services.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related expenses, including executive management, legal, finance, human resources and other departments that do not provide direct operational services. General and administrative expense also includes professional fees and other corporate expense.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2022, were $5,183,863 as compared to $4,620,431 for the year ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $563,432 is primarily due to stock-based compensation related to stock awards and options issued to its employees and board members in the fiscal year 2022.

Technology and Content Development

Technology and content development expenses consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related expense and contracted services associated with the ongoing improvement and maintenance of our platform as well as hosting and licensing costs. Technology and content expense also include the amortization of capitalized software costs.

Technology and content development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2022, were $3,059,962 as compared to $2,276,555 for the year ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $783,407 is primarily due to the recognition of a settlement obligation to a vendor for early termination of its agreement amounting to $229,076 in 2022, increase in the amortization of capitalized software and overall increase in payroll in fiscal year 2022.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense consist primarily of activities to attract Customers to our offerings. This includes personnel and personnel-related expenses, various search engine and social media costs as well as the cost of advertising.

Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended June 30, 2022 were $1,509,694 as compared to $1,751,606 for the year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease of $241,912 is primarily due to significantly increased expenditures in the fiscal year 2021 as the Company increased focus on digital presence to drive lead generation and pipeline growth in support of the sales and marketing division. In 2021, the Company focused on creation of value-added content, social posts and case studies which did not occur in significance in 2022.

Interest Income

For the year ended June 30, 2022, interest income totaled $9,230 as compared to interest income of $1,593 for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Interest Expense.

Interest expense amounted to $12,635 for the year ended June 30, 2022 as compared to interest expense (including amortization of issuance costs) of $3,613,873 for the year ended June 30, 2021. See Note 8 to Notes to Financial Statements.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the year ended June 30, 2022 was $9,059,923 as compared to a net loss for the year ended June 30, 2021 of $11,586,292. The loss was substantially lower during the year ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021 as a result of interest expense incurred in connection with our Offering in the prior fiscal year. Our net loss from operations decreased because of the changes noted above.

Capital Expenditures

During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had capital asset additions of $616,235 and $842,326, respectively, which were comprised of $599,660 and $768,899 respectively, in capitalized technology and content development, and $16,575 and $73,427, respectively, of property and equipment, including primarily computer equipment and software. We will continue to capitalize significant software development costs, comprised primarily of internal payroll, payroll related and contractor costs, as we build out and complete our technology platforms.

Financial Position, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Overview

We are not currently profitable, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will ever be profitable, as indicated by our losses noted above.

During the period from November 14, 2017 (date of incorporation) to September 30, 2020, we raised net proceeds of approximately $11,760,000 from private placement financing transactions (stock and debt). On September 25, 2020, we completed the Offering of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an offering price of $5.00 per share (total net proceeds of approximately $12.8 million after underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering costs).

On August 2, 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), under which, subject to specified terms and conditions, we may sell up to $16.5 million of shares of common stock. Our net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency of sales and the number of shares sold to Lincoln Park and the prices at which we sell shares to Lincoln Park. On August 2, 2021, we sold 759,109 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase under the Purchase Agreement for a total purchase price of $1,500,000. We also issued 152,715 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase our common stock under the Purchase Agreement.

On February 16, 2022, we closed on an offering of common stock and received approximately $2.51 million of cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering costs (Note 6 to the Financial Statements).

As of June 30, 2022, our cash balance totaled $7,155,367.

The Company is developing its customer base and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenue sufficient to cover its expenses. The Company has had a history of net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and expects to continue to incur net losses and use cash in its operations in the foreseeable future.

In addition, the Company has received a notice from the Nasdaq related to their failure to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. The Company is not currently in compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules and if the Company does not regain compliance, the common stock of the Company could be delisted from the Nasdaq exchange. If the Company’s common stock is delisted, it may affect the Company’s ability to obtain financing, trade or sell shares of their common stock, and/or forecasted operations could be negatively impacted in an amount that the Company cannot currently quantify.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under applicable SEC rules.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Amesite Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Amesite, Inc. (the "Company") as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has had a history of net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, and expects to continue to incur net losses and use cash in its operations in the foreseeable future. The Company has considered both quantitative and qualitative factors that are known or reasonably knowable and concluded that there are conditions present in the aggregate that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2022 and 2021

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Liquidity

Amesite Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in November 2017. The Company is an artificial intelligence driven platform and course designer, that provides customized, high performance and scalable online products for schools and businesses. The Company uses machine learning to provide a novel, mass customized experience to learners. The Company’s Customers are businesses, universities and colleges, and a K-12 school. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company’s operations are considered to be in one segment.

On September 18, 2020, we consummated a reorganizational merger, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated July 14, 2020 (“Effective Date”), whereby we merged with and into Amesite Inc. (“Amesite Parent”) our former parent corporation, with our Company resulting as the surviving entity. In connection with the same, we filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and changed our name from “Amesite Operating Company” to “Amesite Inc.” The stockholders of Amesite Parent approved the Merger Agreement on August 4, 2020. The directors and officers of Amesite Parent became our directors and officers.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Effective Date, each share of the Amesite parent’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date, was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of our common stock.

Additionally, each option or warrant to acquire shares of Amesite Parent outstanding immediately before the Effective Date was converted into and became an equivalent option to acquire shares of our common stock, upon the same terms and conditions.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F-7

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and considering the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has a fiscal year with a June 30 year end.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.

In instances wherein inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

F-8

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The total amount of bank deposits (checking and savings accounts) that was insured by the FDIC at year end was $250,000.

Income Taxes

A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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 the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Technology and Content Development

Technology and content development expenditures consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related expense and contracted services associated with the maintenance of our platform as well as hosting and licensing costs and are charged to expense as incurred. It also includes amortization of capitalized software costs and research and development costs related to improving our platform and creating content that are charged to expense as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The straight-line method is used for computing depreciation and amortization. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated (amortized) over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

		Depreciable Life - Years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of estimated lease term or 10 years
Furniture and fixtures		7 years
Computer equipment and software		5 years

F-9

Capitalized Software Costs

The Company capitalizes costs incurred in the development of software for internal use, including the costs of the software, materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll related costs for employees incurred in developing internal use computer software. Software development projects generally include three stages: the preliminary project stage (all costs are expensed as incurred), the application development stage (certain costs are capitalized and certain costs are expensed as incurred) and the post-implementation/operation stage (all costs are expensed as incurred). Capitalization of costs requires judgment in determining when a project has reached the application development stage, the proportion of time spent in the application development stage, and the period over which we expect to benefit from the use of that software. Once the software is placed in service, these costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years.

Closing balance	$	1,066,674	$	1,312,643

Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $845,629 and $733,353, respectively and included as part of “Technology and content development” in the Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition

We generate substantially all of our revenue from contractual arrangements with businesses, colleges and universities to provide a comprehensive platform of integrated technology and technology enabled services related to product offerings. During the year-end June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue from contracts with customers of $697,001 and $674,580, respectively, of which $26,900 and $163,655, respectively, related to services transferred at a point in time and the remainder related to services provided over time.

Performance Obligations and Timing of Recognition

We derive revenue from annual licensing arrangements, including maintenance fees, setup fees and other fees for course development and miscellaneous items. Our contracts with Customers generally have a one-year term and a single performance obligation. The promises to set up and provide a hosted platform of tightly integrated technology and services Customers need to attract, enroll, educate, and support students are not distinct within the context of the contracts. This performance obligation is satisfied as the Customers receive and consume benefits, which occurs ratably over the contract term.

F-10

The following factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows:

●

The majority of our Customers are private and public learning institutions across various domestic regions

●

The majority of our Customers have annual payment terms

The following table shows revenue from contracts with customers by customer type for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Customer Type	2022		2021
Enterprise	$	579,664	$	553,703

Less revenue recognized from continuing operations		(697,001	)		(674,580	)
Closing balance	$	342,672		$	333,200

F-11

Revenue recognized during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue balance that existed in the opening balance of each year was approximately $315,590 and $220,046, respectively.

The deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2022 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period.

At June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company had 4,922,007 and 4,456,364 potentially dilutive shares of common stock related to common stock options and warrants, respectively, as determined using the if-converted method. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the dilutive effect of common stock options and common stock warrants has not been included in the average shares outstanding for the calculation of net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive as a result of our net losses in these periods.

Stock-Based Compensation

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry subject to rapid change. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with an early-stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus as a “pandemic.” First identified in late 2019 and known now as COVID-19, the outbreak has impacted thousands of individuals worldwide. In response, many countries, including the United States, have implemented measures to combat the outbreak which have impacted global business operations. While management believes the Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted, the Company continues to monitor the situation. In addition, while the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be negatively impacted, the extent of the impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

F-12

	For the Years Ended June 30,

Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $29,975 and $18,145, respectively and included as part of “General and administrative expenses” in the Statements of Operations.

Note 4 - Common Stock

On September 25, 2020, the Company completed an initial public offering (“Offering”) of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an offering price of $5.00 per share (total net proceeds of approximately $12.8 million after underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering costs). In connection with the Offering, the Company agreed to issue five (5) year warrants to the underwriter to purchase five percent (5%) of the number of common shares sold in the Offering for an exercise price equal to $6.00. Total warrants of 150,000 were issued to the underwriter on September 29, 2020.

The Company measures the warrants using the Black Scholes Model (“BSM”) to estimate their fair value. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Offering was approximately $249,000 based on the following inputs and assumptions using the BSM: (i) expected stock price volatility of 45.00%; (ii) risk free interest rate of .14%; and (iii) expected life of the warrants of 5 years. The warrants were fully vested on the date of grant and are included in offering costs in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

In connection with the Offering, the Company converted its outstanding convertible notes payable into 1,127,872 shares of its common stock.

Additionally, in connection with the Offering, the Company cancelled 126,532 warrants previously issued to nonemployees in exchange for professional services to meet certain offering listing requirements, of which 6,665 were replaced and deemed vested in full. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $15,000 of additional warrant expense, which was recorded as additional paid-in-capital.

On November 3, 2020 and December 14, 2020, the Company issued 69,709 shares of its common stock totaling approximately $290,000 and 106,383 shares of its common stock totaling approximately $500,000 in value, respectively, to various consulting firms in exchange for strategic investor relations services. These shares vested immediately upon issuance. In June 2021, the Company issued an additional 39,437 shares of its common stock totaling approximately $220,000 to a consulting firm for strategic investor relations services. These shares vested immediately upon issuance.

During fiscal year 2021, warrant holders exercised 834,544 warrants on a cashless basis and received 488,728 shares of common stock.

On August 2, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), under which, subject to specified terms and conditions, the Company may sell to Lincoln Park up to $16.5 million worth of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement, which ends August 2, 2023.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an introducing broker agreement with Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. (“Laidlaw”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay a cash fee to Laidlaw (the “Introductory Fee”) equal to (i) 8% of the amount of the Initial Purchase, (ii) 8% of the amount of a one-time share request up to $1,000,000 (“Tranche Purchase”), if any, and (iii) 4% of up to the next $13,500,000 (or up to $14,500,000 if the Tranche Purchase is not exercised).

F-13

Upon entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 759,109 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as an initial purchase for a total purchase price of $1,500,000 (the “Initial Purchase”). The Company received net proceeds from the Initial Purchase of $1,360,000 after the payment of the Introductory Fee and offering costs. As consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase up to $16.5 million of shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 152,715 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park. If Lincoln Park is requested to purchase additional shares during the term of the Purchase Agreement, the requested shares, (“Regular Purchase”), are limited based on the current share price of the Company’s common stock. If the average price is below $3.00 per share, the Company is limited to issuing 50,000 shares per request; if the share price is between $3.00 and $4.00 per share, the limit is 75,000 shares per request, if the share price is between $4.00 and $5.00, the limit is 100,000 shares per request, and if the share price is above $5.00, the limit is 150,000 shares per request. Requests for purchases are permitted daily as long as the Company’s stock price is above $0.50 per share. The price for such regular purchases will be the lower of: (i) the lowest closing price of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date for such Regular Purchase and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive business days immediately preceding. Additionally, the Company may instruct Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of common stock that exceed the Regular Purchase limits (“Accelerated Purchase”). If the Company requests Lincoln Park to make an Accelerated Purchase, the price per share is discounted from average historical closing prices. No additional shares were sold to Lincoln Park in the year ended June 30, 2022.

The Company evaluated the contract that includes the right to require Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of common stock in the future (“put right”) considering the guidance in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) and concluded that it is an equity-linked contract that does not qualify for equity classification, and therefore requires fair value accounting. The Company has analyzed the terms of the put right and has concluded that it has no value as of June 30, 2022.

On October 19, 2021 and December 2, 2021, the Company issued 9,901 shares of its common stock totaling approximately $18,218 and 4,000 shares of its common stock totaling approximately $4,480 in value, respectively, to various consulting firms in exchange for strategic investor relations services. These shares vested immediately upon issuance. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company issued 250,000 of its common stock totaling approximately $126,250 in value, respectively, to a consulting firm in exchange for strategic advisory and digital marketing services. These shares vested immediately upon issuance.

On February 11, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Laidlaw, as representative of the several underwriters, to issue and sell up to 3,437,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a public offering price of $0.80 per share. On February 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated underwriting agreement in order to increase the number of shares sold in the offering to 3,750,000. On February 16, 2022, the Company closed the offering, and sold 3,750,000 shares of common stock to Laidlaw for total gross proceeds of $3,000,000. After deducting the underwriting commission and expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,509,550. In connection with the offering, the Company issued five (5) year warrants to the underwriter to purchase 187,500 common shares at an exercise price of $1.00.

The Company measures the warrants using the BSM to estimate their fair value. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the offering was approximately $94,165 based on the following inputs and assumptions using the BSM: (i) expected stock price volatility of 80.10%; (ii) risk free interest rate of 1.63%; and (iii) expected life of the warrants of 5 years. The warrants were fully vested on the date of grant and are included in offering costs in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

Note 5 – Warrants

As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, there were 1,421,739 and 1,234,239 warrants outstanding, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company issued 187,500 and 150,000 common stock warrants, respectively, to a placement agent related to fundraisings and other advisory services. The warrants are fully vested, have a term of 5 years from closing date of the private placements and an exercise price of $1.00 per share (2022 warrants) and $6.00 per share (2021 warrants), respectively (see Note 4 for additional terms of the warrants).

The Company measures the fair value of warrants using Black-Scholes Model. The fair value of the warrants issued during the year ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was approximately $94,165 and $249,000, respectively, based on the following inputs and assumptions below.

	2022			2021

Note 6 - Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or restricted stock units to officers, employees, directors, consultants, agents, and independent contractors of the Company. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees, directors, and consultants with those of its stockholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest over two years from the grant date and generally have ten-year contractual terms. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting (as defined in the Plan).

The Company has reserved 4,600,000 shares of common stock to be available for granting under the Plan.

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award using a BSM that uses the weighted average assumptions included in the table below. Expected volatilities used in the BSM assumptions are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock prices. The expected term of stock options granted has been estimated using the simplified method because the Company is generally unable to rely on its limited historical exercise data or alternative information as a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term of such options. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. When calculating the amount of annual compensation expense, the Company has elected not to estimate forfeitures and instead accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used for estimating the fair value of the stock options granted for the year ended:

	For the Years Ended June 30,
	2022			2021
Expected term (years)		7.00			5.00
Risk-free interest rate		0.12% - 2.2	%		0.12	%
Expected volatility		46.3% - 93	%		45% - 46	%
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%

A summary of option activity for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is presented below:

Options	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Outstanding at July 1, 2020		2,962,833		$	1.82		9,06
Granted		566,000			2.97		9.65
Terminated		(306,708	)		2.45		-
Outstanding at June 30, 2021		3,222,125			1.96		8.34
Granted		129,024			1.76		9.26
Terminated		(187,959	)		3.01		8.69
Outstanding and expected to vest at June 30, 2022		3,163,190			1.89		7.34

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $1.76 and $1.29, respectively. The options contained time-based vesting conditions satisfied over one to five years from the grant date. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company issued 129,024 and 566,000 options, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no options were exercised and 187,959 and 306,708 options were terminated.

On September 28, 2021, the Board approved certain stock awards to its board members in the form of stock options and restricted stock. The stock option awards are expected to vest ratably over twelve-month period from beginning September 28, 2021 through September 28, 2022. The restricted stock awards vested over a twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The total approved compensation was $172,702 in stock options and $600,000 in restricted stock. The number of options was determined based on the fair value of the Company’s share price as of the date of grant. The Company determined that there will be 337,078 of restricted shares issued upon vesting, based on the fair value of the Company’s share price on the grant date.

Accordingly, $130,486 related to the stock option grants made to the board members, was recognized as stock-based compensation expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022. The Company also recognized $600,000 as stock-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock unit grants made to the board members for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 as part of general and administrative expenses. The cost related to the grants made to board members is expected to be recognized through September of 2022.

For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $1,442,087 and $876,295, in expense related to the Plan, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, there was approximately $280,801 of total unrecognized compensation cost for employees and non-employees related to nonvested options. These costs are expected to be recognized through March 2026.

Note 7 - Income Taxes

For the year ended June 30, 2022 and prior periods since inception, the Company’s activities have not generated taxable income. A valuation allowance has been recorded on tax loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any current or deferred income tax expense or benefit for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

F-16

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to income taxes computed by applying the statutory United States federal rate to income before taxes is as follows:

	For the Years Ended June 30,
	2022			2021
Income tax, at applicable federal tax rate	$	(1,894,858	)	$	(2,433,121	)

Net deferred tax assets		-			-

The Company has approximately $23.3 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal and $23.3 million for state, available to reduce future income taxes. Of the $23.3 million of federal net operating losses, approximately $17,000 will expire in 2037 and the balance can be utilized indefinitely but will be limited to 80% utilization. The state net operating losses will begin to expire in 2027. Due to uncertainty as to the realization of the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets as a result of the Company’s limited operating history and operating losses since inception, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions. The net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of a change of ownership as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Tax years 2019-2022 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Note 8 - Convertible Notes Payable

In April and May 2020, the Company issued unsecured, convertible notes payable (the “Notes”) to certain accredited investors, with an aggregate principal amount of $2,182,500, in an offering intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder.

F-17

The Notes were unsecured, bore interest at 8% per annum, and matured one year from their dates of issuance. The Notes were subject to automatic conversion into the Company’s common stock upon a qualified equity financing or change of control, based on a specified formula for the conversion price; using the lesser of $2.00 or 75% of the price paid per share in either of the conversion events.

The Company incurred issuance costs of $261,900. The issuance costs were amortized over six months, which was the estimated length of time that the Company believed the Notes would be outstanding until a conversion event occurred.

In connection with the Offering (Note 6), the Notes (totaling $2,255,815, including accrued interest) were converted into 1,127,872 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. As the Offering price was $5.00 per share, the Company recognized an expense totaling $3,383,546 which represents the discount provided to the Note holders. This expense is recorded within interest expense in the statement of operations. Additionally, upon completion of the Offering, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $182,900 were fully amortized and included within interest expense.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events

On August 26, 2022, the Company entered into a three-year master services agreement (“MSA”) with the National Association For Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (“NAFEO”), the nation’s only national membership association of all the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (“HBCUs”) and Predominantly Black Institutions (“PBIs”). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to provide development, configuration, and support services for certain NAFEO-sponsored programs for use and access by third party universities, teachers, professionals, and students via a complete LCE^SM for HBCUs.

Pursuant to the terms of the MSA, the Company shall work together with NAFEO on NAFEO’s efforts to raise $30 million from donors, of which up to $10 million is currently contemplated to be used to develop the Products and the LCE^SM for HBCUs. To date, no commitments for such funding have been secured and no amounts have been budgeted to be spent on the development of the Products and the LCE^SM. As presently contemplated, the Products and the LCE^SM are intended to initially deliver learning programs for up to 12 HBCUs if fully funded and implemented. No assurance can be given that NAFEO will be successful in raising the funds needed to develop the Products and the LCESM during the term, or at all, or that if funds are raised that NAFEO will deploy the proceeds raised for the contemplated purposes, or that if built, that the Products and the LCESM will be able to meet the needs of NAFEO member institutions and/or that NAFEO member institutions will ultimately adopt and/or deploy the Products and the LCESM . We do not anticipate incurring costs with no benefit under the terms of the agreement. No payments have been issued on either side.

On September 1, 2022, the Company sold 4,181,821 shares of common stock for approximately $1.85 million, net of financing fees and expenses. In connection with the offering, the Company issued five (5) year warrants to the underwriter to purchase 209,091 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.025 per share. The warrants were fully vested on the date of grant. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

On July 12, 2022, the Company issued 125,000 of its common stock totaling $61,250 in value to a consulting firm in exchange for strategic advisory and digital marketing services. These shares vested immediately upon issuance.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (also our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are described below in “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”.

Management’s Annual 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) and 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.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of 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. 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.

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on the framework and criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As a result of management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the Company had material weaknesses related to three components of the COSO framework – risk assessment, control activities and monitoring activities, as follows, and as a result, our internal control was not effective:

Risk assessment: Management identified a deficiency in a principle associated with the risk assessment component of the COSO framework. The Company does not have a documented process and controls to identify and assess changes to the business that could significantly affect the system of internal control.

Control activities: Management identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the control activities component of the COSO framework. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to: (i) developing control activities that contribute to the mitigation of risks to the achievement of objectives to acceptable levels and (ii) deploying control activities through internal control policies that establish what is expected and procedures that put policies into action.

Monitoring activities: Management identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the monitoring component of the COSO framework. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to (i) selecting, developing, and performing ongoing evaluation to ascertain whether the components of internal controls are present and functioning, and (ii) documenting, evaluating and communicating internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action.

Remediation Efforts to Address the Material Weaknesses

With the oversight of senior management and our audit committee, we are taking the steps below and plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weaknesses:

●

With assistance from a current finance and accounting third-party service provider, the Company will formalize our risk assessment process, which will include a risk assessment being revised, reviewed, and documented, on an as needed basis, as changes to the business occur. This service provider will also assist the Company with implementing revised control activities, controls documentation, and ongoing monitoring activities related to the internal controls over financial reporting.

●

The Company will take steps to remediate the control activities material weakness through the documentation of processes and controls for transactions that occur in the course of business, and in the financial statement close, reporting and disclosure processes.

●

The Company will formalize our process and documentation for monitoring internal control over financial reporting. The documentation will serve as the evidence to ascertain whether the control activities are present and functioning, and provide a foundation for the Company to communicate internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action.

In addition, under the direction of the audit committee of the Board of Directors, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Company’s internal control environment, as well as to refine policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of the Company.

We cannot be assured that the measures we have taken to date, or plan to implement, will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses we have identified or avoid potential future material weaknesses.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reporting due to an exemption established by the JOBS Act for “emerging growth companies”.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the identification of the material weaknesses described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
