SIGMA ADDITIVE SOLUTIONS, INC. (FORMERLY SIGMA LABS, INC.)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 20212022

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business --Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. (formerly Sigma Labs, Inc., formerly named Framewaves, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“Company,” “Sigma,” “we,” “us” and “our”), was founded by a group of scientists, engineers and businessmen to develop and commercialize novel and unique manufacturing and materials technologies. Sigma believes that some of these technologies will fundamentally redefine conventional quality assurance and process control practices by embedding them into the manufacturing processes in real time, enabling process intervention and ultimately leading to closed loop process control. The Company anticipates that its core technologies will allow its clientelecustomers to combine advanced manufacturing quality assurance and process control protocols with novel materials to achieve breakthrough product potential in many industries, including aerospace, defense, oil and gas, bio-medical, and power generation. The terms the “Company,” “Sigma,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Sigma Labs, Inc.

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company suggests these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 20202021 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periodsperiod ended September 30, 2021 and 20202022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Reclassification - Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to presentation in the current-period financial statements. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported results.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company applies ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments for hedging of market risk or for trading or speculative purposes. On March 26, 2021, the Company closed an offering in which it issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,190,000 shares of common stock in a private placement concurrently with a registered direct offering (“Registered Offering”) of our common stock The warrants became exercisable on May 24, 2021, the date the Company obtained stockholder approval to increase its authorized common shares from 12,000,000 to 24,000,000 (“the Initial Exercise Date”), and will expire two years after the Initial Exercise Date.on May 24, 2023.

 

Pursuant to ASC 815-40-25-10,815.40.25.10, such warrants were accounted for as a derivative liability because the Company did not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock available to settle the warrants at the issue date, such warrants were accounted for as a derivative liability.date. On May 24, 2021, upon receiving shareholderstockholder approval to increase its authorized common shares, the Company reclassified the warrant liability to equity pursuant to ASC 815.40.35.8.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $1,092,441

Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Shares underlying the CompaniesCompany’s outstanding warrants, options and preferred sharesstock were excluded due to the anti-dilutive effect they would have on the computation. At September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company had the following common shares underlying these instruments:

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United StatesGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management. Significant accounting estimates that may materially change in the near future are impairment of long-lived assets, values of stock compensation awards and stock equivalents granted as offering costs, and allowance for bad debts and inventory obsolescence.

 

Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from sales of our software and related hardware suite under perpetual licenses and from providing engineering services under contracts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under prior U.S. GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is the recognition of revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, we determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

In January 2022, the Company began offering a subscription option to its customers, pursuant to which it leases its PrintRite3D platform for terms between 12 and 36 months and provide technical support and maintenance for the term of the arrangement, as well as installation and training. The Company has determined these are leases because they relate to discrete pieces of equipment to which customers have the right to substantially all the economic benefit from and exclusive right to use during the term of the arrangement. These leases are classified as operating leases and the Company retains title to the underlying equipment.

The leases may be renewed for successive one-year terms unless notice is given by either party of its intent not to renew at least 30 days before the end of the lease term. For leases with 36-month terms, the lessee may terminate the agreement after the first 18 months with 30-days written notice. Some, but not all, of the leases permit lessees to purchase the equipment at any time at an amount that approximates fair value and are not reasonably certain to be exercised at the inception of the lease. There are no anticipated variable lease payments at the inception of the lease.

There are two non-lease components in the arrangement that consist of technical support and maintenance, and installation and training. The Company has elected the single component practical expedient to combine the technical support and maintenance with the lease as they have the same pattern of transfer. The installation and training component does not have the same pattern of transfer; therefore, this component is not eligible for the single component practical expedient. The consideration has been allocated on a relative fair value basis of the underlying lease and non-lease components. The Company has estimated the residual value of the leased equipment based on its useful life, and the ability to refurbish and sell the equipment, as well as the Company’s ability to componentize the hardware and utilize subassemblies in other products.

Revenue from these operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2,834 and $17,006, respectively.

NOTE 3 – CARES Act Deferred Payroll Tax LiabilityIntangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents and patent applications.

Provisional patent applications are not amortized until a patent has been granted. Once a patent is granted, the Company will amortize the related costs over the estimated useful life of the patent. If a patent application is denied, then the costs will be expensed at that time.

During 2022, $126,231 of costs related to patents issued to us during 2022 were reclassified from provisional patent application to patents and began to be amortized as of the date of issue.

The following is a summary of definite-life intangible assets less accumulated amortization as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:

The Company has determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the registered direct offering. Management also determined that on the Issuance Date, the Company did not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the warrants, and as such required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging”. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants were recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and were measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations.

At a Special Stockholders Meeting held on May 24, 2021, the Company received approval to increase its authorized common shares from 12,000,000 to 24,000,000. Pursuant to ASC 815-40-35-8, the Company reclassified the warrant liability to equity as of such date.

The fair value of the derivative liability presented below was measured using the Black Scholes valuation model. Significant inputs into the model for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are as follows:

Schedule of Fair Value of Derivative Liability Using Black Scholes Valuation Model

Dividend yield0.00%
Risk-free interest rate0.6% - 0.7%

The warrants outstanding and fair values at each of the respective valuation dates are summarized below:

Schedule of Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Fair Value as of September 30, 2021  -  $-   - 

The Company has presented the fair value measurement as a Level 3 measurement, relying on unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions. Level 3 measurements, which are not based on quoted prices in active markets, introduce a higher degree of subjectivity and may be more sensitive to fluctuations in stock prices, volatility rates and U.S. Treasury Bond rates and could have a material impact on future fair value measurements.

The Company uses the Black Scholes model, based on the adjusted historical volatility rates for fair value measurements through the date of stockholder approval (i.e., May 24, 2021). Management has determined the Black Scholes model to be the most reliable and least volatile determinate of the current fair value of the warrants. It is the Company’s expectation to maximize on all observable market inputs for the warrants and calibrate the model to incorporate relevant observable market data into the fair value measurement at each future measurement date, if applicable.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $1,092,441 on the change in fair value of the warrants.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsassets, liabilities, sales and expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our significantBy their nature, changes in these assumptions and estimates could significantly affect our financial position or results of operations. Significant accounting estimates that may materially change in the near future are revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, values of stock compensation awards and stock equivalents granted as offering costs, and allowance for bad debts and inventory obsolescence. Such critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.Report. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from sales of our software and related hardware suite under perpetual licenses and from providing engineering services under contracts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under prior GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is the recognition of revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, we determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

In January 2022, the Company began offering a subscription option to its customers, pursuant to which it leases its PrintRite3D platform for terms between 12 and 36 months and provide technical support and maintenance for the term of the arrangement, as well as installation and training. The Company has determined these are leases because they relate to discrete pieces of equipment to which customers have the right to substantially all the economic benefit and exclusive right to use during the term of the arrangement. These leases are classified as operating leases and the Company retains title to the underlying equipment.

The leases may be renewed for successive one-year terms unless notice is given by either party of its intent not to renew at least 30 days before the end of the lease term. For leases with 36-month terms, the lessee may terminate the agreement after the first 18 months with 30-days written notice. Some, but not all, of the leases permit lessees to purchase the asset at any time at an amount that approximates fair value and are not reasonably certain to be exercised at the inception of the lease. There are no anticipated variable lease payments at the inception of the lease.

There are two non-lease components in the arrangement that consist of technical support and maintenance, and installation and training. The Company has elected the single component practical expedient to combine the technical support and maintenance with the lease as they have the same pattern of transfer. The installation and training component does not have the same pattern of transfer; therefore, this component is not eligible for the single component practical expedient. The lease consideration is allocated on a relative fair value basis of the underlying lease and non-lease components. The Company has estimated the residual value of the leased equipment based on its useful life, and the ability to refurbish and sell the equipment, as well as the Company’s ability to componentize the hardware and utilize subassemblies in other products.

The Company is depreciating assets over their useful life of 7 years, but certain subassemblies and components may have a longer economic life.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received.

Inventory Valuation - Inventories consist of raw materials used in the production of customized parts, work-in-process and finished goods components which will be sold to customers. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Charges for obsolete inventory are based on identification of specific items resulting from regular, on ongoing reviews of our inventory.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets – Long-lived assets and certain identifiable definite life intangibles to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company continuously evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation value of such long-lived assets and provides for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal or external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. Utility patents are amortized over a 17-year period. Patents which are pending are not amortized.

Stock-Based Compensation – We measure the compensation costs of stock-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which recipients are required to provide services. Stock-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, grants of shares of common stock with and without restrictions, performance-based awards, and stock appreciation rights. Compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at its fair value.

17

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded on the basis of the grant date fair value of the instruments. In general, the measurement date is either (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of the date that (i) the non-employee performance requirement is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant.

The fair value of common stock grants is based upon the closing price of our common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value of stock options and SARs is calculated using the Black Scholes valuation model, and requires estimates of several inputs to the model, including risk-free interest rates, dividends, and expected volatility of our stock price.

Business Overview

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020

We generateHistorically, we have generated revenues through sales, and more recently, subscription-based licensing of our PrintRite3D® hardware and software edge computing platformtechnology to customers that seek to improve their manufacturing production processes, and through ongoing annual software upgrades and maintenance fees. However, 2022 has been a year of significant change for our business, from our symbolic name change to the execution of a new approach to the market. We have a mission to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing by setting the industry standard for quality, and we have charted our path to deliver the first holistic digital quality experience for the additive industry with the following objectives:

Simplifying the quality experience from up to twelve disparate software licenses and multiple manual spreadsheets, to a single user experience that is holistic and integrated with production workflow.
Building strategic partnerships, expanding our partner ecosystem, and best ensuring success of existing customers as they move into production.
Offering products that are easier to use and less expensive, both for initial purchases and as expansion opportunities.
Attracting a strategic corporate investment partner with clear product, customer, and financial synergies.

A holistic digital quality experience connects in-process data upstream to CAD/CAM through the downstream inspection and material data.  This digital quality journey begins by creating a new qualification framework for in-process data. The path to qualified parts and continued production relies on more than just melt pool monitoring; it also covers machine health, process health, and part health. Our customers require specific data for qualification and certification of parts and need a holistic approach to production quality, and further, require a way to simplify quality from 8-12 disparate software licenses and several manual spreadsheets, to one user experience that is integrated into their production workflow.

In order to expand the number of OEMs distributing our technology, we launched a three-tiered OEM program directed to: (1) new OEMs without their own quality assurance or monitoring solution; (2) established OEMs with a quality monitoring offering, but who have customers with multiple printers from multiple OEMs and want a single third party quality and analytics solution with consistent quality metrics across printers, processes and materials; and (3) OEMs building open application programming interfaces, or APIs, to integrate components of Sigma’s proprietary technology with their current offerings. We are now working with OEMs on their next generation printers to offer a software-only solution that will utilize the printer’s computing infrastructure and dramatically reduce the overall cost of its technology, enabling the opportunity to move towards a software only embedded solution on every printer sold by partner OEMs. To further augment this initiative, we have also begun integrating with industry wide hardware providers, such as our recently announced relationship with a laser scanner provider.

We began offering our current PrintRite3D integrated hardware and software solution on a subscription basis in 2022. Among other things, at present the change reduced the initial upfront cost to a new user from over $100,000 to approximately $3,000-$5,000 per month. The combination of subscription pricing and the new software-only products that can be embedded into OEM and software partner offerings are intended to make our technology more affordable to acquire and easier to bundle, distribute and support in an effort to become the industry standard.

The shift in our business model has adversely affected our revenues and near-term revenue growth as we increased our focus on building strategic partnerships, expanding our partner ecosystem, and ensuring the success of our existing customers as they move into production. Our ability to generate revenues in the future will depend on our ability to further commercialize and increase market presence of our traditional PrintRite3D® technologies, andtechnology, along with our new software-only offerings that start to link industry quality together. Additionally, it will depend on whether key prospective customers continue to move from AM metaladditive manufacturing prototyping to production.production, which our products are intended to accelerate. However, we believe these changes to our business model will contribute to faster adoption of our product by end users and will result in more predictable and profitable revenues over the longer term.

In connection with this shift, we reduced our headcount in the third quarter by a net of five employees. With a further reduction of two employees in October, our full-time headcount now stands at twenty-five, a net reduction of ten employees from our peak of thirty-five in April of this year. Though we plan to hire one or two new employees to fill open positions in the near-term, we expect our headcount will be stable for the next twelve to eighteen months.

As part of our vision to build the future of connected digital quality, we have undertaken an initiative to attract a strategic corporate investment partner with clear product, customer, and financial synergies to Sigma. This work is focused on identified companies that connect to our long-term quality vision. This strategic investment initiative is focused on synergies and potential product integration to accelerate market visibility and customer adoption.

Over the past ten years, Sigma has invested its resources to solve the problem of in-process AM quality: melt pool analytics for the “part”. This remained a retrofit lab solution until the last eight months. Our prior product offering met the needs of materials scientists, but overlooked the production needs of shop floor technicians, process engineers, and operations teams. The addition of our “machine” and “process” software products for additive manufacturing will provide a holistic in-process quality base for us to connect to the broader digital quality ecosystem.

We believe the industry is evolving. Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs, are opening up, as some of our relationships with OEMs have become public. There is also a trend toward consolidation in additive manufacturing as companies align for profitability. Sigma has made demonstrable progress in 2022 connecting to other products in the AM digital quality stream, and a connection to a strategic partner paired with near term execution can augment our ability to scale, support the market, and create value. Further, alignment with a strategic partner allows for common growth, vision, and funding of the Company to achieve its mission, but also provides an opportunity for other strategic relationships, including potential acquisitions that can further accelerate the execution of our digital quality vision.

We believe that our existing cash on hand, together with expected revenue, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating costs and capital expenditure requirements through 2022. We have based this estimateat least the first quarter of 2023. The Company is currently engaged in identifying sources of financing either in the form of equity or debt or a combination thereof. No assurance can be given as to the availability of such financing, or, if available, that such financing would be on assumptions that may proveterms acceptable to be wrong, such as our current expectations of revenue generation and burn rate, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than we expect.the Company.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the research, development, and commercialization of our products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

 Revenue from the sales of our existing and future products;
Costs associated with the expansion of our business and operations;
The cost of expending, maintaining, and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio, including filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and
 The effect of competing technological and market developments;developments.
The revenue from the sales of our existing and future products;
The cost of operating as a public company; and
The increasing cost of engineering talent.

 

During the remainder of 2021 and throughout 2022, we expect to sustain our operations and our commercialization and marketing efforts with our cash reserves and revenues generated from sales of our PrintRite3D® technology. We expect that continued enhancements of our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D® technology, including the May 2021 release of version 7.0, will enable us to further commercialize this technology into the AM metal market in 2021. To support the commercialization of our PrintRite3D® technology, we plan to continue funding our development activities and operating expenses by licensing our PrintRite3D® systems and supporting field services, as applicable, and providing PrintRite3D®-enabled engineering consulting services concerning our areas of expertise (materials and manufacturing quality assurance and process control technologies).

 

AsThe ongoing impact of the third quarterCOVID-19 epidemic, in particular the shortage of 2021 progressed,certain components of our PrintRite3D systems, is highly uncertain and no assurance can be given that our business and results of operations will not be materially and adversely affected. It is also uncertain as to whether any further disruption of the effect of COVID-19 onfinancial markets, which may reduce our ability to generate revenue, seemed to lessen; however, the Company continued to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 global economic slowdown, which has resulted in lower revenue than anticipated. Two key industries with which we do business, aerospace and oil and gas, have experienced a reduction in the global demand for their products due to the pandemic. As a result of the decrease in the demand for our products from customers and potential customers in these and other industries, the Company expects that revenue from these sectors will remain under pressure. It is impossible to knowaccess capital on favorable terms or at this time how long companies will limit capital expenditures and if the industries that have been most negatively affected will resume normal purchasing. Additionally, access to customer and prospect installations due to country specific regulations regarding COVID-19 quarantining has consumed resources for longer periods of time than expected, resulting in overall lower productivity and increased expenses.all. However, due to the need to have more flexibility in supply chains with the ability to respond quickly to shortages in parts or products, we believe that the crisis will eventually accelerate the adoption of 3D printing, which would bemay benefit the Company.

The effects of a positive trendUS or global recession, while difficult to predict, could result in some customers delaying orders or not proceeding with planned orders for the Company.

Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. In addition, noNo change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the threenine months ended September 30, 20212022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
