Valuation of Long-lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company reviews for impairmentIntangible assets were recorded in connection with the acquisition of long-livedBelami. Intangible assets with finite lives, which consist of customer relationships and certain identifiablee-commerce technology platforms, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Such intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. The Company determined no impairmentassesses the recoverability of its intangible assets by determining whether the unamortized balance can be recovered over the assets’ remaining estimated useful life through undiscounted estimated future cash flows. If undiscounted estimated future cash flows indicate that the unamortized amounts will not be recovered, an adjustment will be made to reduce such amounts to fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with achieving such cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are based on trends of historical performance and the Company’s estimate of future performance, considering existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions.

Goodwill

Property and Equipment

Property and equipmentacquisition of Belami, is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation,not subject to amortization and is reviewedtested for impairment wheneverannually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of Belami over the fair value of its identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Fair value is typically based upon estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or market-based comparables. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, then an asset may notanalysis will be recoverable.

Intangible Asset Patent

The Company developedgoodwill is its new accounting basis. Accounting guidance on the testing of goodwill for impairment allows entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a patent for an installation device used in light fixturesqualitative assessment to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment and ceiling fans. Costs incurred for submitting the applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for these patents have been capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the related 15-year lives. The Company begins amortizing patent costs once a filing receipt is received stating the patent serial number and filing date from the Patent Office.

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company also capitalizes legal costs incurred in the defense of the Company’s patents whenwhether it is believed thatnecessary to perform such two-step impairment test.

The initial carrying value of goodwill associated with the future economic benefitBelami acquisition may vary during the first year of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit or a successful defense of its patents involves considerable management judgment, and an unfavorable outcome of litigation could result in a material impairment charge up toinitial purchase (through April 2024) if the carrying value of these assets.

The Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with General Electric on June 15, 2011 (the “License Agreement”) allowing the Company to utilize the “GE trademark” on products which meet the stringent manufacturing and quality requirements of General Electric (the “GE Trademark License”). As described further in Note 5 to these financial statements, the Company and General Electric amended the License Agreement in August 2014. As a result of that amendment, the Company is required to pay a minimum trademark licensing fee (the “Royalty Obligation”) to General Electric of $12,000,000. The repayment schedule is based on a percent of sales, with any unpaid balance due in November 2018. Under SFAS 142 “Accounting for Certain Intangible Assets” the Company has recorded the value of the Licensing Agreement and will amortize it over the life of the License Agreement, which is 60 months.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets andacquired or assumed liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under Level 3. See Note 9.

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

The Company changed its method of valuation for fair market values of derivatives in 2017 to a lattice-binomial option-pricing model (“lattice-binomial model”) from the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) which was previously used under SFAS 123 and are reflected on our condensed consolidated statement of operations as other (income) expense at each reporting period. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. However, such new and/or complex instruments may have immature or limited markets. As a result, the pricing models used for valuation of derivatives often incorporate significant estimates and assumptions, which may impact the level of precision in the financial statements. Furthermore, depending on the terms of a derivative or embedded derivative, the valuation of derivatives may be removed from the financial statements upon conversion of the underlying instrument into some other security. The change in valuation methodology had no material impact on the Company’s previous calculations.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Original Issue Discount

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Extinguishments of Liabilities

The Company accounts for extinguishments of liabilities in accordance with ASC 860-10 (formerly SFAS 140) “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. When the conditions are met for extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the sale is recognized.

Stock Based Compensation – Employees

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.shares issuable in April 2024 varies from the initial allocation of assets previously performed or based on the number of shares the Company has to issue in April 2024.

Revenue Recognition

The measurement date used to determine the fair valueCompany currently generates revenues substantially from home lighting, ceiling fans, and smart products through its family of internet sites and marketplaces. A substantial portion of the equity instrument issued isCompany’s customers’ orders are made and paid contemporaneously by credit card and shipped through third-party delivery providers. The Company recognizes revenues once it concludes that the earliercontrol of the dateproduct is transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery.

The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated customer sales returns and replacements, net of sales tax. The Company receives rebate and cooperative allowances based on whicha percentage of periodic purchases from certain vendors. These vendor considerations are reflected as a reduction of costs of revenues. The vendor considerations, the performance is complete orrights of returns and replacements are based upon estimates that are determined by historical experience, contractual terms, and current market conditions. The primary factors affecting the date on which it is probableCompany’s accrual for estimated customer rights of returns include estimated customer return rates as well as the number of units shipped that performance will occur.

If the Company ishave a newly formed corporation or sharesright of return that have not expired as of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.measurement date.

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f) (2)(ii) a thinly traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Generally, all forms of share based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

The expense resulting from share based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

Stock Based Compensation – Nonemployees

Equity Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Subtopic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Subtopic 505-50”).

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum, or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f) (2)(ii) a thinly traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index.

The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

12

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-257, if fully vested, no forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra equity by the grantor of the equity instruments.

The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenues from the sale of GE branded ceiling fans and lighting fixtures to large retailers through retail and online sales.

Revenue is recorded when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) asset is transferred to the customer without further obligation, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and third-party manufacturing of the Company’s products.

Product sold to large retail customers is typically shipped directly to the customer from the third-party manufacturer; costs associated with shipping and handling is shown as a component of cost of sales.

Earnings (Loss)Loss Per Share

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

13

The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, and option, and warrant contracts. For the nine-monthsthree and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016,2022, the Company reflectedrecognized net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been antidilutive for the period. Therefore, a separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the periods presented.

The Company hashad the following anti-dilutive common stock equivalents at September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016:2022:

Related PartiesRecently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASBManagement does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Change in Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.Principles

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a) Affiliates of the Company; (b) Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) Trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) Principal owners of the Company; (e) Management of the Company; (f) Other parties with whichHistorically, the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influencerecognized its revenues of products shipped by third-party providers upon shipment.

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a). the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b). a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c). the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d). amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement. 

Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to2023, the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claimschanged its revenue recognition policy as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicatesit believes that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, and consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

Subsequent Events

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements are issued.

Pursuant to ASU 201009 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify the accounting for share based payment award transactions. The new standard will modify several aspects of the accounting and reporting for employee share based payments and related tax accounting impacts, including the presentation in the statements of operations and cash flows of certain tax benefits or deficiencies and employee tax withholdings, as well as the accounting for award forfeitures over the vesting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company anticipates the new standard will result in an increase in the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and will add volatility to the Company’s effective tax rate and income tax expense. The magnitude of such impacts will depend in part on whether significant employee stock option exercises occur.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Topic 83530): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has reclassified debt issuance costs from prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets as a reduction to debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)," which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Further, the amendments remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement –Period Adjustments.” Changes to the accounting for measurement-period adjustments relate to business combinations. Currently, an acquiring entity is required to retrospectively adjust the balance sheet amounts of the acquired business recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill as a result of changes made to the balance sheet amounts of the acquired business. The measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the balance sheet amounts recognized for a business combination (generally up to one year from the date of acquisition). The changes eliminate the requirement to make such retrospective adjustments, and, instead require the acquiring entity to record these adjustments in the reporting period they are determined. The new standard is effective for both public and private companies for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), which applies guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory. ASU 2015-11 states that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance excludes inventory measured using last in, first out or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 2015-11 and is currently evaluating ASU 2015-11 to determine the potential impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

15

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," which makes changes to both the variable interest model and voting interest model and eliminates the indefinite deferral of FASB Statement No. 167, included in ASU 2010-10, for certain investment funds. All reporting entities that hold a variable interest in other legal entities will need to re-evaluate their consolidation conclusions as well as disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted, including any interim period. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, "Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20)," effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. This update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)." Entities commonly raise capital by issuing different classes of shares, including preferred stock, that entitle the holders to certain preferences and rights over the other shareholders. The specific terms of those shares may include conversion rights, redemption rights, voting rights, and liquidation and dividend payment preferences, among other features. One or more of those features may meet the definition of a derivative under GAAP. Shares that include such embedded derivative features are referred to as hybrid financial instruments. The objective of this update is to eliminate the use of different methods in practice and thereby reduce existing diversity under GAAP in the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, inclusive of income tax accounting and disclosure considerations. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all impacted share-based payment arrangements. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Adopted as of September 30, 2017

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” on revenue recognition. This guidance provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The original effective date of this guidance was for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, early adoption is not permitted, and the guidance must be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. In July 2015, the FASB approved an optional one-year deferral of the effective date. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018. We have not yet determined our approach to adoption or the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, if any.

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the accounting for leasing arrangements, particularly those arrangements classified as operating leases. This update will require entitiespreferable to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from operating leasesrevenues of products shipped by such third-party providers upon delivery. This revenue recognition method is consistent with the method used by Belami. The change in accounting principle does not significantly impact on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all leasing arrangements. We are currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). The standard clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, the assets in the transaction need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Prior to the adoption of the new guidance, an acquisition or disposition would be considered a business if there were inputs, as well as processes that when applied to those inputs had the ability to create outputs. Early adoption is permitted for certain transactions. Adoption of ASU 2017-01 may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements if we enter into future business combinations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other pronouncements issuedrevenues historically recorded by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Company.

On November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and September 25, 2014 the Company completed closings in connection with its offering (the “Notes Offering”) of its 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “12% Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,240,100 and/or its 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000 (the “15% Notes”, and together with the 12% Notes, each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), as applicable, with certain “accredited investors” (the “Investors”), as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501 of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Notes Offering, the Company received $1,752,803, $1,400,000 and $800,500 in net proceeds on November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and September 25, 2014, respectively. The principal balance of each Note and all unpaid interest became payable twenty-four (24) months after the date of issuance. The principal and outstanding interest under the Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share and were secured by a first priority lien (subject only to an existing note with Signature Bank of Georgia on the Company’s intellectual property and all substitutes, replacements and proceeds of such intellectual property).

Pursuant to the Notes Offering, each Investor also received five (5) year common stock warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.375 per share (each a “Note Offering Warrant” and collectively, the “Note Offering Warrants”). Investors of the 12% Notes received Note Offering Warrants with 25% coverage based on a predetermined valuation of the Company. Investors of the 15% Notes received Note Offering Warrants with 15% coverage based on the predetermined valuation of the Company. Investors with a principal investment amount equal to or greater than $250,000 received Note Offering Warrants with a bonus 40% coverage (“Bonus Coverage”); however, if an Investor previously invested $250,000 or more in the Notes Offering, such Investor received Bonus Coverage if such Investor subsequently invested $100,000 or more in the Notes Offering. In addition to the terms customarily included in such instruments, the Note Offering Warrants may be exercised by the Investors by providing to the Company a notice of exercise, payment and surrender of the Note Offering Warrant.

The Notes and Note Offering Warrants were treated as derivative liabilities.

20

In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company entered into Note Offering Registration Rights Agreements, each dated as of November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and September 25, 2014, and each by and between the Company and each of the Investors (collectively, the “Note Offering Registration Rights Agreements”). Because the Company was unable to timely file a registration statement pursuant to the terms of each Note Offering Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or May 8, 2014, the Company was in default under such Note Offering Registration Rights Agreements (the “Filing Default Damages”), and because the Company was unable to timely have a registration statement declared effective pursuant to the terms of the Note Offering Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013, the Company was in default under such Note Offering Registration Rights Agreements (the “Effectiveness Default Damages”). The Filing Default Damages stopped accruing on the date such registration statement was filed, and the Effectiveness Default Damages stopped accruing on the date it was declared effective.

The Company invited the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 to extend the first interest payment that was scheduled to be paid pursuant to the Notes dated November 26, 2013 (the “Interest Due”) to February 24, 2015 and in exchange offered to capitalize the Interest Due at a rate of 12% through payment (the “Additional Interest”), all of which was convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.25 per share (the “Agreement and Waiver and Agreement to Convert”). Through December 31, 2016, the Company has issued in total 2,343,191 shares of its common stock representing $585,798 in Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages. As of December 31, 2016, all Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages was repaid by the Company.

During 2015, five Investors requested that the Company withhold payments of interest due under their Notes at no cost to the Company, to allow the Company to address working capital needs. Such interest due has been or will be paid to the five Investors in cash or simple non-interest bearing promissory notes, and none of such amounts have been or will be paid in shares of the Company’s capital stock.

In November 2015, the Company invited the holders of Notes dated November 26, 2013, with respect to outstanding principal and interest due under their respective Notes, to (i) receive payment in cash, (ii) convert their Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, or (iii) forbear an election for three (3) months, or until February 26, 2016, pursuant to a forbearance agreement, during such time interest under their respective Notes would continue to accrue. In February 2016, the Company invited the same holders to extend their forbearance period to make an election to convert or redeem their Notes for an additional three months, or until May 26, 2016, under the same terms as the first forbearance agreements.

In May 2016, the Company invited the holders of all Notes, where such holders had not already made an election to redeem or convert their Notes, to forbear or extend their forbearance period to make an election to convert or redeem their Notes until July 31, 2016, which the Company thereafter extended to August 15, 2016 (the “August 2016 Election”). This also provided a third option to all noteholders, whereby such holders could convert their respective Note(s) into shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). (See Note 8(B)).

Prior to the August 2016 Election, several Investors had previously elected to receive payment in cash, or convert their Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, but most Notes remained outstanding.

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, one Investor redeemed $50,000 in principal balance of one Note and one Investor was issued 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock in connection with its August 2016 Election. Pursuant to the August 2016 Elections received and effective as of August 15, 2016, through September 30, 2017 the Company redeemed or issued shares of the Company’s common stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, in exchange for the principal balance of the Notes, as follows: (i) the payment of, in the aggregate, $50,000 in principal balance of one Note; (ii) the issuance of 240,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing $60,000 in outstanding Note principal balance; and (iii) the issuance of 13,456,936 shares of Preferred Stock, representing $3,364,234 in outstanding Note principal balance.

As of September 30, 2017, all Notes have either been re-paid in cash, are represented by a separate debt obligation or have been converted, and all such Notes have been terminated. All issuances of capital stock in the August 2016 Election were made only for principal balances due under the Notes, and all interest was paid directly to the Investors.

21

(A)Terms of Debt

The debt carries interest between 12% and 15%, and was due in November 2015, May 2016 and September 2016, as extended to July 31, 2016 pursuant to certain forbearance agreements.

All Notes and Note Offering Warrants issued in connection with the Notes Offering are convertible at $0.25 and $0.375 per share, respectively, subject to the existence of a “ratchet feature”, which allows for a lower offering price if the Company offers shares to the public at a lower price.

(B)Offer to Convert Debt to Preferred Shares

By letter to each holder of the Notes, dated July 22, 2016, the Company requested that each holder indicate its election to (i) redeem its Note, (ii) convert its Note into the Company’s common stock or (iii) elect to convert its Note into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Option”), in each case by August 15, 2016.

For those holders electing the Preferred Option, each holder has received shares of the Preferred Stock on a 1 to 1 ratio to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which are then convertible under such holder’s respective Note. With respect to interest on junior securities, dividends, distributions or liquidation preference, shares of Preferred Stock will rank senior to shares of the Company’s common stock or other junior securities. Along with other terms customary for a class of convertible preferred stock, the Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the same conversion price as the Notes (i.e., USD $0.25 per share), and will pay interest quarterly at a rate of six percent (6%). The Preferred Stock will be convertible upon the election of the holder thereof. Shares of the Preferred Stock may be repurchased by the Company upon 30 days’ prior written notice, in whole or in part, for USD $3.50 per share, provided that during such notice period the holder will continue to have the option and right to convert its shares of Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders will also have a put option, allowing them to sell their shares of Preferred Stock back to the Company at USD $0.25 per share, the Note conversion price.

Each holder electing the Preferred Option was required to enter into an amendment to its Note, providing that the Note will be convertible into the Preferred Stock rather than the Company’s common stock, and to thereafter elect to convert their Note, as amended, into Preferred Stock. In addition, each holder entered into a lockup agreement, whereby the holder agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, give, donate, transfer or otherwise dispose of (i) the shares of the Company’s common stock it then holds, (ii) the shares of Preferred Stock obtained upon conversion of its Note, and (iii) the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Preferred Stock, for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such agreement. The Note amendments, conversion to Preferred Stock and lockup agreement have been entered into on August 15, 2016. The Note amendments were approved by a majority of the holders of the then outstanding Notes. See above for more details related to the results of that offering

Overview

We are a company engaged in the business of developing proprietary technology that enables a quick and safeplay installation of light fixtures and ceiling fans into ceilings and walls by the use of a weight bearing power plug. Our patented technology consists of a fixable socket and a revolving plug for conducting electric power and supporting an electrical appliance attached to a wall or ceiling. The socket is comprised of a non-conductive body that houses conductive rings connectable to an electric power supply through terminals in its side exterior.just seconds. The plug also comprisedand play power-plug technology eliminates the need of a non-conductive body that houses corresponding conductive rings, attaches to the socket via a male post and is capable of feeding electric power to an appliance. The plug also includes a second structural element allowing it to revolve with a releasable latching which, when engaged, provides a retention force between the socket and the plug to prevent disengagement. The socket and plug can be detached by releasing the latch, disengaging the electric power from the plug. The socket is designed to replace the support bar incorporated in electric junction boxes, and the plug can be installed intouching hazardous electrical wires while installing light fixtures, ceiling fans and wall sconce fixtures.other hard wired electrical products. In recent years, we have expanded the capabilities of our power-plug product to include advanced-safe and quick universal installation methods, as well as advanced-smart capabilities. The combined socketsmart features include control of light fixtures and plugceiling fans by the SkyHome App, through WIFI, BLE and voice control. It allows scheduling, energy savings eco mode, dimming, back-up emergency light, night light, light color changing and much more. Our second-generation technology is referredan all-in-one safe and smart-advanced platform that is designed to asenhance all-around safety and lifestyle of homes and other buildings. Our products are designed to improve all around home and building safety and lifestyle. We are continuing to refine our products and began manufacturing certain advanced and smart products during the “SQL Technology” throughout this Quarterly Report.

Inflationary factors, such as increases in December 2016, was approved by the National Fire Protection Association for inclusioninterest rates, supply and overhead costs and transportation costs, may adversely affect our operating results, and we may not be able to offset increased costs with increased sales price per unit, particularly as we work toward commercial manufacturing of our products. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect in the NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC)near future (especially if inflation rates continue to rise). In addition, we may be negatively impacted because of supply chain constraints, consequences associated with government regulations, ongoing and potential geopolitical conflicts, instability in the global banking system, employee availability and wage increases.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily due to such expenses following the acquisition of $1,193,371 forBelami aggregating $4.8 million and $7.7 million during the three-month periodand nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, as compared to a cost of sales of $1,593,926 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. The 25.1% decrease is primarily associated with the decrease in sales.2023, respectively.

Gross Profit

We had gross profit of $221,876 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to gross profit of $338,386 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. As a percent of sales, gross profit was 15.7% and 17.5% for the three-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The impact on gross profit as a percent of sales in the current three-month period is attributable to an initial sales discount program with a major customer.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense (G&A) increased $188,513 to $1,802,393 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, from $1,613,880 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016.expenses consist primarily of an allocation of product development, finance, legal, human resources, including salaries, wages, and benefits, and depreciation and amortization, including share-based payments.

The increase in the general and administrative expenses were due to additional business activity including:

$204,000 Payroll and related expenses due to additional personnel.
$40,000 Product innovations and quality testing.
$41,000 Marketing costs due to additional campaigns for new products.
$30,000 Travel associated with operations and quality control.
$25,000 in China operations expenses.
$5,000 Software and IT related expenses.

These increases were partially offset by the following reductions in:

$(93,000) Legal expense, outside accounting and other professional fees.
$(23,000) Other product development expense as compared to prior year.
$(15,000) Commission and direct selling expense associated .
$(14,000) Trade show participation.

Loss from Operations 

Loss from operations increased $(305,023) to $(1,580,517) during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, from $(1,275,494) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due to an increase in general, and administrative expenses during the three months and a decrease in gross profits on salenine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to the following:

Increase in general and administrative expenses following the acquisition of Belami aggregating $3.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively;

Increase of depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, primarily related to increase in intangibles acquired during the second quarter of 2023 and right-of-use assets acquired during the third quarter of 2022.

We believe that our operating expenses will be higher during 2023 when compared to 2022 as noted above.we continue to invest to support our anticipated growth and now includes such expenses related to Belami’s operations following its acquisition.

Other Income (Expense)

Total other expenses decreased $(27,339,343)

The increase in interest expense in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 when compared to $(547,251) for the three-monthprior year periods resulted primarily from interest charges related to operating lease liabilities and debt which were entered into the latter part of 2022 and convertible debt (including amortization of debt discount, which were entered into the first quarter of 2023. The debt discount is related to inducements the Company granted to holders of convertible debt.

The variations in gain on extinguishment debt is due to two separate transactions: the forgiveness of the PPP loan recognized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, from2022 and a net other expense of $(27,886,594) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. The change is associated with a $22,121,217 decrease in the lossgain on debt extinguishment associated with the conversionforgiveness of debt in April 2023 as the debt forgiven to Preferred Stock in 2016. In addition, a $3,363,865 decrease inlender exceeded the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities, a decrease of $1,783,885 in derivative expenses associated with the reservation of shares associatied with derivative instruments and a decrease of $65,630 in interest expense.consideration we paid.

Other Income (Expense)

Total other expenses decreased $51,855,362 to $(17,214,917) for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2017, from a net other expense of $(69,070,279) for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2016. The change is associated with a $25,810,311 decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability primarily due to the reservation of shares associated with derivative instruments. In 2016 the company incurred a $(21,556,743) loss on conversion as a result of the convertible debt conversion to Preferred Stock in 2016. The Preferred Stock was valued at $3.40 per share. In addition, a decrease of $4,488,308 non-cash derivative expense associated with an increase in the value of the Company’s common stock from $1.00 to $3.00 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $6,359,067 in cash on hand. To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenue to cover its operating costs and continues to operate with negative cash flow. As a result, the Company hasWe have raised additional funds through the sale of itsour common stock.stock and securities convertible into our common stock and issuance of debt, including completing our initial public offering in February 2022 for gross proceeds of $23.1 million and placements and offerings during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 in a combination of convertible notes payable and shares of our common stock aggregating $19.1 million.

These offerings included shares sold pursuant to our ATM offering program which provides us with additional access to capital, as needed, subject to market conditions. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we issued 592,150 shares of common stock under such program for net proceeds of $897,000, net of brokerage fees and legal expenses of approximately $18,000. In aggregate, from the start of the ATM offering program through November 13, 2023, we sold 3,576,458 shares of common stock, generating approximately $8.2 million of proceeds, net of brokerage fees and legal expenses of $164,000. As of November 13, 2023, we had the remaining capacity to issue shares of common stock with a consideration of up to $11.3 million under the offering program.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash will be sufficient to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Belami acquisition and integration of operations, our revenue growth rate, expenditures related to our headcount growth and manufacturing, the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the price at which we are able to purchase parts to incorporate in our product offerings, the introduction of platform enhancements, and the market adoption of our platforms. We may continue to enter arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. We may, because of those arrangements, or the general expansion of our business, be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. If we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Due to the significance of notes of the Companynon-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables our management to monitor and $(119,276) paid in dividendsevaluate our business on a consistent basis. We use EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to holdersanalyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. We believe that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not part of our Preferred Stock.core operations, such as interest expense and amortization expense associated with intangible assets, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such as share-based payments and non-recurring items, such as transaction costs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure included below.

Upon the completion of each purchase contract, the finished products will be transported from the manufacturer directly to the ports and loaded on vessels secured by the customer, upon which the products become the property of the customer.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a discussion of ourthose accounting policies that involve significant estimates and related items, please see the Notes to the Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1.judgment of management.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

In April 2015,Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments require disclosure of the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Topic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to afair value information, whether recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet, as a direct deduction fromwhere it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we believe the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognitionamounts reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has reclassified debt issuance costs from prepaidaccrued expenses and other current assetsliabilities, accrued interest, notes payable and other assets as a reduction to debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.convertible note payable approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

In May 2015,Fair value is defined as the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investmentsprice that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)," which removesan orderly transaction between market participants at the requirement to categorize within themeasurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, all investmentswhich prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award granted using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Further,Black- Scholes option pricing model based on projections of various potential future outcomes and recognized over the amendments removeperiod in which the requirementaward vests. For stock awards no longer expected to make certain disclosuresvest, any previously recognized stock compensation expense is reversed in the period of termination. The stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses.

Revenue Recognition

We account for all investmentsrevenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606).

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that are eligiblereflects the consideration we expect to be measured at fair value usingentitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

We determine revenue recognition through the net asset value per share practical expedient. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Thefollowing steps:

identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
determination of the transaction price;
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Although there are new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented.

The adoptionor will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of this guidance did notthese accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations or cash flows.operations.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement –Period Adjustments.” Changes to the accounting for measurement-period adjustments relate to business combinations. Currently, an acquiring entity isITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to retrospectively adjustprovide the balance sheet amounts of the acquired business recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill as a result of changes made to the balance sheet amounts of the acquired business. The measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the balance sheet amounts recognized for a business combination (generally up to one year from the date of acquisition). The changes eliminate the requirement to make such retrospective adjustments, and, instead require the acquiring entity to record these adjustments in the reporting period they are determined. The new standard is effective for both public and private companies for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We adoptedinformation required by this guidance in the first quarter 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Item.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), which applies guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory. ASU 2015-11 states that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance excludes inventory measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 2015-11 and is currently evaluating ASU 2015-11 to determine the potential impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The new standard will modify several aspects of the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payments and related tax accounting impacts, including the presentation in the statements of operations and cash flows of certain tax benefits or deficiencies and employee tax withholdings, as well as the accounting for award forfeitures over the vesting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company anticipates the new standard will result in an increase in the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and will add volatility to the Company’s effective tax rate and income tax expense. The magnitude of such impacts will depend in part on whether significant employee stock option exercises occur.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," which makes changes to both the variable interest model and voting interest model and eliminates the indefinite deferral of FASB Statement No. 167, included in ASU 2010-10, for certain investment funds. All reporting entities that hold a variable interest in other legal entities will need to re-evaluate their consolidation conclusions as well as disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted, including any interim period. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows .

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, "Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20)," effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. This update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)." Entities commonly raise capital by issuing different classes of shares, including preferred stock, that entitle the holders to certain preferences and rights over the other shareholders. The specific terms of those shares may include conversion rights, redemption rights, voting rights, and liquidation and dividend payment preferences, among other features. One or more of those features may meet the definition of a derivative under GAAP. Shares that include such embedded derivative features are referred to as hybrid financial instruments. The objective of this update is to eliminate the use of different methods in practice and thereby reduce existing diversity under GAAP in the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, inclusive of income tax accounting and disclosure considerations. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all impacted share-based payment arrangements. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Adopted as of September 30, 2017

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” on revenue recognition. This guidance provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The original effective date of this guidance was for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, early adoption is not permitted, and the guidance must be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. In July 2015, the FASB approved an optional one-year deferral of the effective date. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018. We have not yet determined our approach to adoption or the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, if any.

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the accounting for leasing arrangements, particularly those arrangements classified as operating leases. This update will require entities to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all leasing arrangements. We are currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). The standard clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, the assets in the transaction need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Prior to the adoption of the new guidance, an acquisition or disposition would be considered a business if there were inputs, as well as processes that when applied to those inputs had the ability to create outputs. Early adoption is permitted for certain transactions. Adoption of ASU 2017-01 may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements if we enter into future business combinations.

38

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventory consist of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method.  The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-7 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

Intangible Asset - Patent

The Company developed a patent for an installation device used in light fixtures and ceiling fans. Costs incurred for submitting the applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for these patents have been capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the related 15-year lives. The Company begins amortizing patent costs once a filing receipt is received stating the patent serial number and filing date from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company also capitalizes legal costs incurred in the defense of the Company’s patents when it is believed that the future economic benefit of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit or a successful defense of its patents involves considerable management judgment, and an unfavorable outcome of litigation could result in a material impairment charge up to the carrying value of these assets.

39

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under Level 3.

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

As of August 11, 2017, the Company has reserved for issuance 29,485,920 shares of common stock associated with conversion features on Preferred Stock, warrants and options. These shares have been reserved for issuance by the Company’s stock transfer agent, and accordingly, no derivative liability has been calculated on these shares.

Stock-Based Compensation - Employees

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties) (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset.

42

This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

Related Parties 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (i) affiliates of the Company; (ii) Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (iii) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (iv) principal owners of the Company; (v) management of the Company; (vi) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (vii) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (i) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (ii) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (iii) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (iv) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

PART IIII. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

WeThere are no material legal proceedings or arbitration proceedings currently pending against our Company. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we are not currently a party to any pendingmaterial legal proceedings.matters or claims. In the future, we may become party to material legal matters and claims, Legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and the outcome of a particular matter or a combination of matters may be material to our results of operations for a particular period, depending upon the size of the loss or our income for that period.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk FactorsFactors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, other than as noted below. Our business, operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock. You should carefully read and consider the risks and uncertainties included in the report referenced above, together with all of the other information in such report and this Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, and other documents that we file with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties described in these reports may not be the only ones we face, and the disclosure of any risk factor should not be interpreted to imply that the risk has not already materialized. The factors discussed in these reports, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results and those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors, and oral statements.

Global economic conditions and the effect of economic pressures and other business factors on discretionary consumer spending and consumer preferences may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Uncertainties in global economic conditions that are beyond our control could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price. These adverse economic conditions include inflation, slower growth or recession, new or increased tariffs and other changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates, high unemployment, decreased consumer confidence in the economy, armed hostilities, such as the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, conditions affecting the retail environment for products we sell, and other matters that influence consumer spending and preferences. In addition, consumer confidence and spending can be materially adversely affected in response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, including home equity loans and consumer credit, changes in net worth based on market changes and uncertainty, energy shortages and cost increases, labor and healthcare costs, government actions and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment.

Consumers may view a substantial portion of the products we offer as discretionary items rather than necessities. As a “smaller reporting company”,result, our operating results are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions that impact consumer spending, including discretionary spending. Declines in consumer spending have resulted in, and could in the future result in, decreased demand for our products and services, which has adversely affected the results of our operations and may do so in the future.

Our marketing efforts to help grow our business may not be effective, and failure to effectively develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our e-commerce channel.

If the online market for home goods does not continue to gain acceptance, a sizable portion of our business may suffer. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract consumers who have historically purchased home goods through traditional retailers. Furthermore, we may have to incur significantly higher and more sustained advertising and promotional expenditures to attract additional online consumers to our sites and convert them into purchasing customers online. Specific factors that could impact consumers’ willingness to purchase home goods from us online, especially in markets where we do not have physical stores, include concerns about buying products without a physical storefront, face-to-face interaction with sales personnel and the inability to physically handle, examine and compare products; delivery time associated with online orders; actual or perceived lack of security of online transactions and concerns regarding the privacy or protection of personal information; delayed shipments or shipments of incorrect or damaged products; inconvenience associated with returning or exchanging items purchased online; usability, functionality and features of our sites; and our reputation and brand strength. In addition, if we do not have a clear and relevant promotional calendar to engage our customers, especially in the current macroeconomic environment, our customers may purchase fewer goods from us, or we may have to increase our promotional activities. If the shopping experience we provide does not appeal to consumers or meet the expectations of existing customers, we may not acquire new customers at sustainable rates, acquired customers may not become repeat customers and existing customers’ buying patterns and levels may decrease. In addition, we may experience surges in online traffic and orders associated with promotional activities and seasonal trends, which could cause fluctuations in our results of operations from quarter to quarter.

Conditions in Israel, including the recent attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against them, may adversely affect our operations, which could negatively impact our revenues and cash flows.

With a number of our individuals working on the development of our product offerings located in Israel, our business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions affecting Israel.

In October 2023, Israel declared war against Hamas. The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict, as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general.

It is possible that other terrorist organizations will join the hostilities as well, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank. The individuals working on developing and improving our product offerings are not requiredonly within the range of rockets from the Gaza Strip, but also within the range of rockets that can be fired from Lebanon, Syria or elsewhere in the Middle East. If hostile action or hostilities otherwise disrupt our Israeli operations, our ability to provideimprove timely our product offerings could be materially and adversely affected.

As a result of the information requiredIsraeli security cabinet’s decision to declare war against Hamas, several hundred thousand Israeli reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service. If some of the individuals working on improving our product offerings are called for service in the current war with Hamas we expect such persons would be absent for an extended period. As a result, our operations may be disrupted by such absences, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The Warrant Exercise ExchangeRule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

Background

As previously reported byDuring the Company, on November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, through a series of closings, the Company raised capital resources pursuant to an offering (the “Notes Offering”) of its Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, convertible into sharesquarter ended September 30, 2023, none of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share (each a “Note” and collectively,directors or executive officers adopted, modified or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the “Notes”), and five year warrantspurchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to purchase sharessatisfy the affirmative defense conditions of the Company’s common stock at $0.375 per share (each a “Note Warrant” and collectively, the “Note Warrants”). InvestorsRule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in the Notes Offering (collectively, the “Notes Offering Holders”) also received registration rights, pursuant to which the Company filed and had declared effective a registration statement registering the shares underlying the Notes and Note Warrants (the “Note RRAs”)Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).

Between November 2015 and July 2016, while some Notes Offering Holders redeemed or converted their Notes, most Notes Offering Holders agreed to forbear making an election to convert or redeem under their respective Notes until (ultimately) August 15, 2016, pursuant to one or more forbearance agreements. In July 2016, the Company requested that each Notes Offering Holder indicate its election to (i) redeem its Note, (ii) convert its Note into shares of the Company’s common stock or (iii) convert its Note into shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), in each case by August 15, 2016. For those holders electing to convert into shares of Preferred Stock, each holder received shares of Preferred Stock on a 1 to 1 ratio to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which were then convertible as unpaid principal under such holder’s respective Note.

Presently, all Notes have been redeemed or the principal thereunder has been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock or Preferred Stock, and all interest due thereunder has been paid by the Company to the Notes Offering Holders. Most Notes Offering Holders elected to convert their Notes into a total of 13,456,936 shares of Preferred Stock (such holders, the “Preferred Stock Holders”).

The Warrant Exercise Exchange

On August 30, 2017, the Company invited Preferred Stock Holders to (a) exercise their one or more Note Warrants in full, on a cashless basis based on an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and (b) receive new warrants to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock which is equal to 10% of the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder, at an exercise price of $3.30 per share (the “New Warrants”). In exchange, the Company asked the Preferred Stock Holders to (y) lock-up their shares of the Company’s common stock or derivatives thereof for one year (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) and (z) waive their rights, if any, under the one or more Note RRAs (the “Waiver of Registration Rights”) issued to such Preferred Stock Holder (such invitation and exchange and the transactions thereto, the “Warrant Exercise Exchange”). In the event that a Notes Offering Holder not holding Preferred Stock requests, the Warrant Exercise Exchange shall apply equally, with the number of New Warrants being determined based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that were issuable upon conversion of the principal balance of the Notes Offering Holder’s Note(s) prior to conversion.

The New Warrants are exercisable within five (5) years of issuance into shares of the Company’s common stock, at $3.30 per share. In addition to the terms customarily included in such instruments, the New Warrants may be exercised by the Investors by providing to the Company a notice of exercise, payment and surrender of the Warrant, and the warrants are subject to adjustment in specified events including, but not limited to, a split of the Company’s common stock, payment of a dividend in shares of the Company’s common stock, reorganization, reclassification of capital stock or consolidation or merger with another company.

The Lock-Up Agreements provide that the undersigned shareholder shall not, for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date, (a) offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly on a public trading market, any shares of the Company’s common stock held by such shareholder as of the effective date, any shares acquired in connection with the exercise of the shareholder’s Note Warrant(s), and any shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the New Warrants, Preferred Stock or other options or warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock, or (b) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect. Only Notes Offering Holders who beneficially own 60,000 or more shares of the Company’s common stock were required to enter into a Lock-Up Agreement, and the obligation of all holders under their respective Lock-Up Agreements are subject to the condition that all such holders who meet the 60,000 share threshold have entered into a Lock-Up Agreement.

Exercises of Note Warrants

On or prior to November 13, 2017, pursuant to the Warrant Exercise Exchange, the Company has received notices to exercise Note Warrants from 23 Note Offering Holders, some of whom hold two Note Warrants. Pursuant to such notices, the Note Offering Holders have elected to exercise their Note Warrants, which equal an aggregate of 4,467,100 shares of the Company’s common stock, into 4,132,068 shares of the Company’s common stock on a cashless basis. The Company has issued, or is in the process of issuing, all 4,132,068 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of the same date, the Company has entered into a Waiver of Registration Rights and a Lock-Up Agreement with all Notes Offering Holders participating in the Warrant Exercise Exchange. In addition, pursuant to the foregoing, the Company has issued, or will issue, New Warrants exercisable into, in the aggregate, up to 838,040 shares of the Company’s common stock.
