The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated
financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial
statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including
those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
As used in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation," except where the context otherwise requires, the term

Going Concern
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $12,455,033 as of September 30, 2022
and a working capital deficit of $11,362,830, as of September 30, 2022, and a
working capital deficit of $9,844,269 as of December 31, 2021. As a result of
these factors, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about
the Company ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates,
among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments
that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.
The Company has recently filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 and engaged
an investment banker to undertake an offering of approximately $15,000,000. The
investment banker has assisted the Company in raising a bridge round of debt
financing in the amount of $1,200,000, which is net of original issue discount
of $240,000. Management intends to use the funds received from the capital raise
to grow both organically and inorganically by pursuing potential synergistic
companies as well as invest in technology and human capital for their existing
operations. The Company's ability to close on this potential offering to raise
additional capital is unknown. Obtaining additional financing, including
approximately $1,594,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the
successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations,
ultimately, to profitable operations, are necessary for the Company to continue
operations.
