Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
| 1. | Description of Business |
Safe and Green Development Corporation (the “Company” or “SG DevCo”), previously known as SGB Development Corp., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on February 17, 2021. The Company was formed in 2021 for the purposes of real property development using purpose-built, prefabricated modules built from both wood and steel. The Company’s current business focus is primarily on the direct acquisition and indirect investment in properties nationally that will be further developed in the future into green single or multi-family projects. We are focused on increasing our presence in markets with favorable job formation and a favorable demand/supply ratio for multifamily and/or single-family housing. Our business model is flexible and we anticipate developing properties on our own and also through joint ventures in which we partner with third-party equity investors or other developers. To date, we have generated minimal revenue and our activities have consisted mostly of the acquisition and entitlement of three properties, an investment in two entities that have acquired two properties to be further developed, entered into three joint ventures with the intention of developing properties in the Texas market and have invested in real-estate related AI assets and entities. In January 2024, we announced that we would strategically look to monetize our real estate holdings by identifying markets where our land may have increased in value, as demonstrated by third-party appraisals. In connection with this strategy, we have entered into agreements to sell our two of our properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into joint venture agreements with Milk & Honey LLC (“Milk & Honey”), for the purpose of establishing two joint ventures to be conducted under the names of Sugar Phase I LLC (“Sugar Phase”) and Pulga Internacional LLC (“Pulga”), together the (“JV Agreements”). The purpose of joint ventures is to develop single family homes and an eco-friendly retail outlet in Texas.
Going Concern
The Company began operations during 2021 and has incurred net losses since inception and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Prior to becoming a public company, the Company’s operations had primarily been funded through advances from Safe & Green Holdings Corp., the Company’s then parent company (“Parent”) and the Company had been largely dependent upon Parent for funding. The Company has also funded its operations through bridge note financing, project level financing, and the issuance of its equity and debt securities. The above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has initiated strategic monetization of properties, which may yield additional financing proceeds to fund operations, however there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its objectives.
Separation and Distribution
In December 2022, Parent and then owner
of
In connection with the Separation and Distribution, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement and several other agreements with Parent. These agreements provide for the allocation between Parent and the Company of the assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including, among others, investments, property, employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) of Parent and its subsidiaries attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation and govern the relationship between the Company and Parent subsequent to the completion of the Separation. In addition to the separation and distribution agreement, the other principal agreements entered into with Parent included a tax matters agreement and a shared services agreement.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of presentation and principals of consolidation — The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, LV Peninsula Holding, LLC (“LV Holding”) and MyVonia Innovations LLC (“MyVonia LLC”), as well as Sugar Phase and Pulga which are described below.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements — New accounting pronouncements implemented by the Company are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.
Accounting estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition – The Company determines, at contract inception, whether it will transfer control of a promised good or service over time or at a point in time, regardless of the length of contract or other factors. The recognition of revenue aligns with the timing of when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps in accordance with its revenue policy:
| (1) | Identify the contract with a customer |
| (2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| (3) | Determine the transaction price |
| (4) | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract |
| (5) | Recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied |
The revenue the Company has generated to date resulted from commissions related to residential real estate purchases and sales transactions. For this revenue, the Company applies recognition of revenue when the customer obtains control over such service, which is at a point in time.
Variable Interest Entities – The Company accounts for certain legal entities as variable interest entities (“VIE”). When evaluating a VIE for consolidation, the Company must determine whether or not there is a variable interest in the entity. Variable interests are investments or other interests that absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected returns. If it is determined that the Company does not have a variable interest in the VIE, no further analysis is required and the VIE is not consolidated. If the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE, the Company consolidates the VIE when there is a controlling financial interest in the VIE and therefore are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company is determined to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE when it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to that VIE. This determination is evaluated periodically as facts and circumstances change.
On July 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Milk & Honey, for the purpose of establishing a joint venture to be conducted under the name of Sugar Phase for the purpose of developing and constructing single-family homes on five parcels of land located in Edinburg Texas (“Sugar Phase JV”). Each of the Company and Milk & Honey are referred to as a “Joint Venturer” and collectively are referred to as the “Joint Venturers.”

Cash and cash equivalents — The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less upon acquisition. The Company has minimal cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Fair value measurements — Financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The short-term note payable is carried at cost which approximates fair value due to corresponding market rates.
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 2 | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. | |
| Level 3 | Inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions). |
Transfer into and transfers out of the hierarchy levels are recognized as if they had taken place at the end of the reporting period.
Income taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from the differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the liabilities are no longer determined to be necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, which requires recognition and measurement of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date control is obtained. The Company determines the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon its best estimates of the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Subsequent adjustments to fair value of any contingent consideration are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Costs that the Company incurs to complete the business combination are charged to general and administrative expenses as they are incurred.
For acquisitions of assets that do not constitute a business, any assets and liabilities acquired are recognized at their cost based upon their relative fair value of all asset and liabilities acquired.
Concentrations of credit risk — Financial instruments, that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such account and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on the account.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 10-K”). This discussion, particularly information with respect to our future operations, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties as described under the heading “Special Note regarding forward-looking statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q. You should review the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the 2023 10-K for a discussion for important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Special Note regarding forward-looking statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may use forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “would,” “estimates,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “will,” or other variations on these terms or their negatives. All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could potentially be forward-looking. We caution that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate or prediction is realized.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including:
| ● | Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects. |
| ● | Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. |
| ● | Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth or investments effectively. |
| ● | The long-term sustainability of our operations as well as future growth depends in part upon our ability to acquire land parcels suitable for residential projects at reasonable prices. |
| ● | We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities, and we may be unable to identify and complete acquisitions of real property assets. |
| ● | Our property portfolio has a high concentration of properties located in certain states. |
| ● | There can be no assurance that the properties in our development pipeline will be completed in accordance with the anticipated timing or cost. |
| ● | Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate to cover any losses we may incur and our insurance costs may increase. |
| ● | Our operating results may be negatively affected by potential development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks. |
27

Overview
We were formed in 2021 by Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (“SG Holdings”) for the purpose of real property development utilizing SG Holdings’ proprietary technologies and SG Holdings’ manufacturing facilities. Our current business focus is primarily on the direct acquisition and indirect investment in properties nationally that will be further developed in the future into green single or multi-family projects. We are focused on increasing our presence in markets with favorable job formation and a favorable demand/supply ratio for multifamily and/or single-family housing. Our business model is flexible and we anticipate developing properties on our own and also through joint ventures in which we partner with third-party equity investors or other developers. To date, we have generated minimal revenue and our activities have consisted mostly of the acquisition and entitlement of three properties, an investment in two entities that have acquired two properties to be further developed, entered into three joint ventures with the intention of developing properties in the Texas market and have invested in real-estate related AI assets and entities, as further described below.
We intend to develop the properties that we own and invest in from the proceeds of sales of our securities and future financings, both at the corporate and project level, and/or sale proceeds from properties that are sold. However, our ability to develop any properties will be subject to our ability to raise capital either through the sale of equity or by incurring debt.
In January 2024, we announced that we would strategically look to monetize our real estate holdings throughout 2024 by identifying markets where our land may have increased in value, as demonstrated by third-party appraisals. In connection with this strategy, we have entered into agreements to sell our St. Mary’s site and our Lago Vista site. Additionally, we expect to subdivide our McLean property into buildable single family lots that can subsequently be sold to developers or developed internally.
Recently, we have entered two joint ventures with Milk & Honey LLC , Sugar Phase I LLC and Hacienda Olivia Phase II LLC, with the intention of developing green single-family homes in the Southern Texas market. To date, we have started construction on five single family homes in the Sugar Phase joint venture. The homes are expected to be delivered by the first quarter of 2025. We are currently developing 57 single family lots through our Hacienda Olivia joint venture and expect to begin vertical construction on those lots in the second quarter of 2025. We have also entered into a joint venture named Pulga Internacional with the intention of developing an eco-friendly commercial retail outlet.
29
Additionally, we acquired a majority interest in Majestic World Holdings LLC (“MWH”) during the first quarter of 2024. MWH is a prop-tech company that has created an AI Software platform (the “AI Powered Platform”). The AI Powered Platform, which was launched in April 2024, aims to decentralize the real estate marketplace, creating an all-in-one solution that brings banks, institutions, home builders, clients, agents, vendors, gig workers, and insurers into a seamlessly integrated and structured AI-driven environment. In addition, we purchased all of the assets related to the A.I technology known as My Virtual Online Intelligent Assistant (“MyVONIA”). MyVONIA, an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, utilizes machine learning and natural language processing algorithms to provide users with human-like conversational interactions, tailored to their specific needs to help simplify daily tasks and improve productivity for individuals and businesses.
During the third quarter of 2024, we have generated minimal revenue and our primary source of funding has been from sales of debt and equity described in more detail below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have generated limited revenue and have incurred significant net losses in each year since inception. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 we incurred a net loss of $7,378,464 and $4,200,541, respectively. We expect to incur increasing losses in the future when we commence development of our McLean Property. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash of $13,707 and $3,236, respectively. Prior to us becoming a public company, our operations were primarily funded through advances from SG Holdings and we had been largely dependent upon SG Holdings for funding. We have recently funded our operations through bridge note financing, project level financing, and the issuance of our equity and debt securities. We intend to develop the properties that we own from the proceeds of sales of our securities to Arena Investors LP and future financings, both at the corporate and project level, and/or sale proceeds from properties that are sold. Additional financing will be required to continue operations, which may not be available at acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding when it becomes necessary, we would likely be forced to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our operating activities, including selling some of our properties. There is no guarantee we will be successful in raising capital outside of our current sources, we also have amounts owed to us from SG Holdings for advances we made to them in the amount of $1,720,844, the collectability of which is uncertain. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Financing Activities
SG Holdings. As of December 31, 2023, $1,720,844 is due from SG Holdings for advances made by us, which we have written off due to the financial position of SG Holdings.

The loan matures on December 1, 2024 and is secured by 1,999,999 of SG Holdings’ shares of our common stock (100,000 as adjusted for the Stock Split), which were pledged pursuant to an escrow agreement with our transfer agent.

During August 2023, such note was extended for a one-year period. This note could be prepaid without penalty. In addition, at the time of payment in full of the note, we must pay the lender an amount equivalent to half of one percent (0.50%) of the original loan amount.

Investing activities used net cash of $240,551 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $81,819 net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease in cash used of $158,732. This change results from a decrease in assets held for sale of $3,535, an increase of cash acquired from a business combination of $1,082, increase in intangible assets of $187,521, decrease in the purchase of computers and software of $2,803, an increase in project pre-development costs of $30,900, and a decrease in equity-based investments of $42,662.
Cash provided from financing activities was $1,796,100 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which resulted from $1,509,852 debt issuance costs paid, increased by $3,081,489 proceeds from short-term note payable, $526,256 in repayments of short-term notes payable and $750,719 from issuance of common stock. Cash provided from financing activities was $4,667,559 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which resulted from $441,825 debt issuance costs paid, increased by $6,650,000 proceeds from short-term note payable, decreased by $2,500,000 from issuance of common stock, and increased by $959,384 contributions from SG Holdings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements to which we are a party.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that we believe to be relevant at the time the financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates, and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in “Note 2— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
Investment Entities – On May 31, 2021, we agreed to contribute $600,000 to acquire a 50% membership interest in Norman Berry II Owner LLC (“Norman Berry”). We contributed $350,329 and $114,433 of the initial $600,000 in the second quarter and third quarter of 2021 respectively, with the remaining $135,183 funded in the fourth quarter of 2021. The purpose of Norman Berry is to develop and provide affordable housing in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of Norman Berry and thus will not consolidate the activities in our financial statements. We use the equity method to report the activities as an investment in our financial statements.
On June 24, 2021, we entered into an operating agreement with Jacoby Development for a 10% non-dilutable equity interest for JDI-Cumberland Inlet, LLC (“Cumberland”). We contributed $3,000,000 for our 10% equity interest. The purpose of Cumberland is to develop a waterfront parcel in a mixed-use destination community. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of Cumberland and thus will not consolidate the activities in our financial statements. We use the equity method to report the activities as an investment in our financial statements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, Norman Berry and Cumberland did not have any material earnings or losses as the investments are in development. In addition, management believes there was no impairment as of September 30, 2024.
Property, plant and equipment – Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of each asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.
On May 10, 2021 we acquired a 50+ acre Lake Travis project site in Lago Vista, Texas (“Lago Vista”) for $3,576,130 which is recorded in assets held for sale on the accompanying balance sheets.
During February 2022 and September 2022, we acquired properties in Oklahoma and Georgia for $893,785 and $296,870, respectively, which is recorded as land on the accompanying balance sheets. In addition, during 2024, through its JV Agreements, the Company acquired land with a value of $482,395 in Texas.
Project Development Costs – Project development costs are stated at cost. At September 30, 2024 our project development costs are expenses incurred related to development costs on various projects that are capitalized during the period the project is under development.
Assets Held For Sale – During 2023, management implemented a plan to sell Lago Vista, which meets all of the criteria required to classify it as an Asset Held for Sale. Including the project development costs associated with Lago Vista of $824,231, the book value is now $4,400,361.
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which generally means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-1I). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13-15(e), were ineffective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, other than the material weakness discussed below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weakness
During the course of the review of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our controls relating to the ineffective design of certain management review controls across a portion of the Company’s financial statements. Specifically, the controls related to the review of internal and externally prepared reports and analysis utilized in the financial reporting process of outside consultants that aid in the preparation of our financial statements.
In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we added four more external consultants to assist in the preparation of our financial statements.
We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as possible.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The information included in “Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies” of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference into this Item.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from the risks previously reported in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2023 10-K. You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have generated limited revenue and have incurred significant net losses in each year since inception. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $7,378,464 as compared to a net loss of $2,615,965 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We expect to incur increasing losses in the future when we commence development of our McLean Property. We cannot offer any assurance as to our future financial results. Also, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings on terms acceptable to us, or at all, if, and when needed. In addition, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to collect amounts owed to us from SG Holdings and have taken a reserve against the $1,720,844 owed to us by SG Holdings, which is included in additional paid-in capital. Our inability to achieve profitability from our current operating plans or to raise capital to cover any potential shortfall would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations as they become due. If we are not able to secure additional funding, if, and when needed, we would be forced to curtail our operations or take other action in order to continue to operate. A significant portion of our funding was historically provided by SG Holdings. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to meet our obligations and are forced to curtail or cease our business operations, our stockholders could suffer a complete loss of any investment made in our securities.
We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2024. In the future, we may identify additional material weaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting or adequate disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material errors in our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our period reporting obligations.
Management and our Audit Committee, in consultation with M&K CPAS PLLC (“M&K”), our independent registered public accounting firm, determined that there was a material weakness in our internal controls as of September 30, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, our management is required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. Annually, we perform activities that include reviewing, documenting and testing our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we will not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could result in significant expenses to remediate any internal control deficiencies and lead to a decline in our stock price.
We cannot provide assurance that we have identified all, or that we will not in the future have additional, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may be required to implement further remedial measures and to design enhanced processes and controls to address deficiencies. If we do not effectively remediate the material weaknesses identified by management and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to prepare reliable financial reports and comply with our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act on a timely basis. Any such delays in the preparation of financial reports and the filing of our periodic reports may result in a loss of public confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, the market value of our common stock and our access to capital markets.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our common stock.
On April 16, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) because our stockholders’ equity of $1,887,777 as of December 31, 2023, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days (until May 31, 2024), to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Rule (a “Compliance Plan”). We submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time. On July 22, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that based on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ended March 31, 2024, and our submission to the Staff, dated May 29, 2024, it determined that we were in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The letter further stated that if we fail to evidence compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) upon filing our next periodic report we may be subject to delisting.
On August 26, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the Company was not in compliance with the Rule because the stockholders’ equity of the Company of $2,018,263 as of June 30, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000.
Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days (until October 10, 2024), to submit a Compliance Plan. We submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time, although there can be no assurance that the Compliance Plan will be accepted by Nasdaq. If the Compliance Plan is accepted by Nasdaq, we will be granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from August 26, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Rule. In the event the Compliance Plan is not accepted by Nasdaq, or in the event the Compliance Plan is accepted but we fail to evidence compliance within the extension period, we will have the right to a hearing before Nasdaq’s Hearing Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.
We intend to monitor our stockholders’ equity and, if appropriate, consider further available options to evidence compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement.
On April 25, 2024, we received written notice from Nasdaq notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (March 14, 2024 through April 24, 2024), our Common Stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided a 180-calendar day period, or until October 22, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, following stockholder approval at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 2, 2024, we effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of one (1) to twenty (20) on October 8, 2024, at which time our Common Stock began trading on a post-split basis.
On October 22, 2024, we received a notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from Nasdaq, informing us that we have regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid of our shares of common stock needed to be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. The Notification Letter confirmed that we achieved a closing bid price of $1.00 or greater per common share for ten (10) consecutive business days from October 8, 2024 to October 21, 2024, thereby regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
If we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s listing standards, our Common Stock will be subject to delisting. If that were to occur, our Common Stock would be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock. This would adversely affect the ability of investors to trade our Common Stock and would adversely affect the value of our Common Stock. Delisting from Nasdaq would cause us to pursue eligibility for trading of our Common Stock on other markets or exchanges, or on an over-the-counter market. In such case, our stockholders’ ability to trade or obtain quotations of the market value of our Common Stock would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices of these securities. There can be no assurance that our Common Stock, if delisted from the Nasdaq, would be listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service or the over-the-counter markets. Delisting from the Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity, adversely affect the market liquidity of our Common Stock, decrease securities analysts’ coverage of us or diminish investor, supplier and employee confidence. In addition, our stock could become a “penny stock,” which would make trading of our Common Stock more difficult.
The delisting of our Common Stock from Nasdaq may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms in the future, or at all. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. Further, if our Common Stock were to be delisted from Nasdaq, our Common Stock would cease to be recognized as a covered security, and we would be subject to additional regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. Moreover, there is no assurance that the actions that we have taken to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement will stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from falling below the Nasdaq minimum bid price required for continued listing again or prevent future non-compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We did not sell any equity securities during the quarter ended September 3, 2024, in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act other than as previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC and as described below.
On October 15th, 2024, we issued 35,335 shares of our Common Stock to a marketing firm for services provided. The marketing firm was a sophisticated investor, received shares that had a restricted legend and had adequate access, though their relationship with the Company, to information about the Company. We believe that such transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
