CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This annual report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) and other reports that we file with the SEC contain statements that are considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current expectations, plans, objectives, assumptions or forecasts of future events. All statements other than statements of current or historical facts contained in this Annual Report, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “could,” “would,” “continue” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on the Company’s current plans and are subject to risks and uncertainties, and as such, the Company’s actual future activities and results of operations may be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
 
The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report may turn out to be inaccurate, and as such, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. The forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions due to a number of factors, including:
 
·
our ability to raise capital, which in turn is related to the performance of our stock price and liquidity;
 
·
dependence on key personnel;
 
·
the consummation of that certain business combination with Abri SPAC I, Inc. (“Abri”) whereby DLQ, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company shall merge with a merger subsidiary of Abri and survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abri, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC);
 
·
industry competition;
 
·
continued growth of mobile app markets;
 
·
the operation of our business; and
 
·
general economic conditions in the United States.
 
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Furthermore, among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements are the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report and elsewhere in this document and in our other filings with the SEC.

Three Year History
2021
 
On March 3, 2021, the Company, RAI Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Rebel AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rebel AI”), and Emmanuel Puentes, on behalf of the stockholders of Rebel AI (in such capacity, the “Stockholders’ Agent”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), the parties intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into Rebel AI, whereby the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Rebel AI will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Merger closed on March 29, 2021 and Rebel AI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the Merger, at the Closing, the Company delivered to those persons set forth in the Merger Agreement an aggregate cash payment of $1,126,000 (the “Cash Consideration”), and an aggregate number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), equal to (i) (x) $7,000,000, divided by (ii) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for the twenty consecutive trading days prior to Closing (the “Stock Consideration,” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), subject in each case to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) a portion of the Cash Consideration, in an amount equal to the outstanding balance of that PPP Loan made to Rebel AI in January 2021, shall be withheld at Closing and placed into an escrow account, pending forgiveness or repayment of the PPP Loan, as applicable, and (ii) $2,000,000 of Common Stock shall be withheld from the Stock Consideration and deposited into an escrow account, pending release in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

 
On December 15, 2021, we entered into various agreements with Lovarra, a Nevada corporation (“Lovarra”) and public reporting subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to transfer its AppLogiq business to Lovarra, subject to customary conditions and approvals and completion of requisite financial statement audits (the “Separation”). Lovarra is a fully reporting U.S. public company, which is approximately 78.5% owned by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary GoLogiq LLC (“GoLogiq”). In connection with the Separation, the Company intends to distribute, on a pro rata basis, 100% of the Company’s ownership interests in Lovarra to the Company’s shareholders of record as of December 30, 2021 (the “Record Date”) (the “Distribution,” and collectively with the “Separation,” the “Spin Off”), which Distribution of said shares is expected to occur six months from completion of the Separation (the “Distribution Date”). On January 27, 2022, we completed the transfer of our AppLogiq business to Lovarra. In connection with the completion of the transfer of AppLogiq to Lovarra, Lovarra issued 26,350,756 shares of its common stock to the Company (the “Lovarra Shares”). The Company will hold the Lovarra Shares until it distributes 100% of the Lovarra Shares to the Company’s stockholders of record as of December 30, 2021 on a 1-for-1 basis (i.e. for every 1 share of Logiq held on December 30, 2021, the holder thereof will receive 1 share of Lovarra), which the Company intends to complete approximately 6 months from now, subject to customary conditions and approvals. Until such time as the Distribution is complete, we will consolidate and report the financials of the AppLogiq business as a consolidated subsidiary of Logiq.

em 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Annual Report, including our financial statements and the related notes, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. In addition to other information in this Annual Report and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business as they may have a significant impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
We are subject to risks associated with changing technologies in the mobile apps industry, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage.
 
The successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to continuously evolve our existing solutions and introduce new solutions to meet customers’ needs. We believe that our customers rigorously evaluate our solution and service offerings on the basis of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: quality; price competitiveness; technical expertise and development capability; innovation; reliability and timeliness of delivery; operational flexibility; customer service; and overall management.
 
Our success depends on our ability to continue to meet our customers’ changing requirements and specifications with respect to these and other criteria. There can be no assurance that we will be able to address technological advances or introduce new offerings that may be necessary to remain competitive within the mobile apps industry.
 
Systems failures could cause interruptions in our services or decreases in the responsiveness of our services which could harm our business.
 
If our systems fail to perform for any reason, we could experience disruptions in operations, slower response times, or decreased customer satisfaction. Our ability to host mobile apps successfully and provide high quality customer service depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our hosting company’s computer and communications hardware and software systems. Although unlikely, our hosting company’s systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunication failures, break-ins, sabotage, computer viruses, intentional acts of vandalism, and similar events. Any systems failure that causes an interruption in our services or decreases the responsiveness of our services could impair our reputation, damage our brand name, and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.
 
If our security is breached, our business could be disrupted, our operating results could be harmed, and customers could be deterred from using our products and services.
 
Our business relies on the secure electronic transmission, storage, and hosting of sensitive information, including financial information, and other sensitive information relating to our customers, company, and workforce. As a result, we face some risk of a deliberate or unintentional incident involving unauthorized access to our computer systems (including, among other methods, cyber- attacks or social engineering) that could result in misappropriation or loss of assets or sensitive information, data corruption, or other disruption of business operations. In light of this risk, we have devoted significant resources to protecting and maintaining the confidentiality of our information, including implementing security and privacy programs and controls, training our workforce, and implementing new technology. We have no guarantee that these programs and controls will be adequate to prevent all possible security threats. We believe that any compromise of our electronic systems, including the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of sensitive information or a significant disruption of our computing assets and networks, would adversely affect our reputation and our ability to fulfill contractual obligations, and would require us to devote significant financial and other resources to mitigate such problems, and could increase our future cyber security costs. Moreover, unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of such sensitive information could result in contractual or other liability. In addition, any real or perceived compromise of our security or disclosure of sensitive information may result in lost revenues by deterring customers from using or purchasing our products and services in the future or prompting them to use competing service providers.
 
7
Delays in the release of new or enhanced products or services or undetected errors in our products or services may result in increased cost to us, delayed market acceptance of our products, and delayed or lost revenue.
 
To achieve market acceptance, new or enhanced products or services can require long development and testing periods, which may result in delays in scheduled introduction. Any delays in the release schedule for new or enhanced products or services may delay market acceptance of these products or services and may result in delays in new or existing customers from using these new or enhanced products or services or the loss of new or existing customers. In addition, new or enhanced products or services may contain a number of undetected errors or “bugs” when they are first released. Although we extensively test each new or enhanced product or service before it is released to the market, there can be no assurance that significant errors will not be found in existing or future releases. As a result, in the months following the introduction of certain releases, we may need to devote significant resources to correct these errors. There can be no assurance, however, that all of these errors can be corrected.
 
A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States or elsewhere may adversely affect our business.
 
If a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs in the United States or elsewhere, our business may be adversely affected.
 
COVID-19 has spread worldwide and has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain it, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns. These measures have impacted, and may further impact, our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers and our partners, and those of our respective vendors and suppliers. Our critical business operations, including our headquarters, are located in regions which have been impacted by COVID-19. Our customers worldwide have also been affected and may continue to be affected by COVID-19 related restrictions and closures.
 
8
The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices as the Company complies with state mandated requirements for safety in the workplace to ensure the health, safety and well-being of our employees. These measures include personal protective equipment, social distancing, cleanliness of the facilities and daily monitoring of the health of employees in our facilities, as well as modifying our policies on employee travel and the cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. We may take further actions as required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. However, we have not developed a specific and comprehensive contingency plan designed to address the challenges and risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and, even if and when we do develop such a plan, there can be no assurance that such plan will be effective in mitigating the potential adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
In addition, while the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and our business in particular is difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital or our customers’ ability to pay us for past or future purchases, which could negatively affect our liquidity. A recession or financial market correction resulting from the lack of containment and spread of COVID-19 could impact overall technology spending, adversely affecting demand for our products, our business and the value of our common stock.
 
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and continued spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the disease or treat its impact, further related restrictions on travel, and the duration, timing and severity of the impact on customer spending, including any recession resulting from the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. An extended period of economic disruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material negative impact on our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition, though the full extent and duration is uncertain.
 
If we are not successful in selecting and integrating the businesses and technologies we acquire, or in managing our current and future divestitures, our business may suffer.
 
Over the years, we have expanded our business through acquisitions. We continue to search to acquire businesses and technologies and form strategic alliances. However, businesses and technologies may not be available on terms and conditions we find acceptable. We risk spending time and money investigating and negotiating with potential acquisition or alliance partners, but not completing transactions. Even if completed, acquisitions and alliances involve numerous risks which may include: difficulties in achieving business and continuing financial success; difficulties and expenses incurred in assimilating and integrating operations, services, products, technologies, or pre-existing relationships with our customers, distributors, and suppliers; challenges with developing and operating new businesses, including those which are materially different from our existing businesses and which may require the development or acquisition of new internal capabilities and expertise; challenges of maintaining staffing at the acquired entities, including loss of key employees; potential losses resulting from undiscovered liabilities of acquired companies that are not covered by the indemnification we may obtain from the seller(s); the presence or absence of adequate internal controls and/or significant fraud in the financial systems of acquired companies; diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; acquisitions could be dilutive to earnings, or in the event of acquisitions made through the issuance of our common stock to the shareholders of the acquired company, dilutive to the percentage of ownership of our existing shareholders; new technologies and products may be developed which cause businesses or assets we acquire to become less valuable; and risks that disagreements or disputes with prior owners of an acquired business, technology, service, or product may result in litigation expenses and distribution of our management’s attention. In the event that an acquired business or technology or an alliance does not meet our expectations, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
 
Some of the same risks exist when we decide to sell a business, site, product line, or division. In addition, divestitures could involve additional risks, including the following: difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products, and personnel; and the need to agree to retain or assume certain current or future liabilities in order to complete the divestiture. We evaluate the performance and strategic fit of our businesses. These and any divestitures may result in significant write-offs, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies at acceptable prices and terms and in a timely manner. We may not be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we encounter in divesting a business, site, product line, or division, and as a result, we may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the divestitures.
 
If we are unable to manage our growth and expand our operations successfully, our business and operating results will be harmed and our reputation may be damaged.
 
We have expanded our operations significantly since inception and anticipate that further significant expansion will be required to achieve our business objectives. The growth and expansion of our business and product offerings places a continuous and significant strain on our management, operational, and financial resources. Any such future growth would also add complexity to and require effective coordination throughout our organization. To manage any future growth effectively, we must continue to improve and expand our information technology and financial infrastructure, our operating and administrative systems and controls, and our ability to manage headcount, capital and processes in an efficient manner. We may not be able to successfully implement improvements to these systems and processes in a timely or efficient manner, which could result in additional operating inefficiencies and could cause our costs to increase more than planned. If we do increase our operating expenses in anticipation of the growth of our business and this growth does not meet our expectations, our operating results may be negatively impacted. If we are unable to manage future expansion, our ability to provide high quality products and services could be harmed, which could damage our reputation and brand and may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
 
9
We may be unable to respond to customers’ demands for new mobile app solutions and service offerings, and our business, financial condition and results of operations, and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
 
Our customers may demand new mobile app solutions and service offerings. If we fail to identify these demands from customers or update our offerings accordingly, new offerings provided by our competitors may render our existing solutions and services less competitive. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to customers’ demands for new offerings on a timely and cost-effective basis and to adapt to address the increasingly sophisticated requirements and varied needs of our customers and prospective customers. We may not be successful in developing, introducing or marketing new offerings. In addition, our new offerings may not achieve market acceptance. Any failure on our part to anticipate or respond adequately to customer requirements, or any significant delays in the development, introduction or availability of new offerings or enhancements of our current offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.
 
Increasing competition and increasing costs within our customers’ industries may affect the demand for our products and services, which may affect our results of operations and financial condition
.
 
Our customers’ demand for our products is impacted by continued demand for their products and by our customers’ research and development costs, budget costs, and capital expenditures. Demand for our customers’ products could decline, and prices charged by our customers for their products may decline, as a result of increasing competition that our customers face in their respective industries. In addition, our customers’ expenses could continue to increase as a result of increasing costs of complying with government regulations and other factors. A decrease in demand for our customers’ products, pricing pressures associated with the sales of these products, and additional costs associated with product development could cause our customers to reduce their research and development costs, budget costs, and capital expenditures. Although we believe our products can help our customers increase productivity, generate additional sales, and reduce costs in many areas, because our products and services depend on such research and development, budget, and capital expenditures, our revenues may be significantly reduced.
 
We are subject to pricing pressures in some of the markets we serve.
 
The market for PaaS for the SMB industry is intensely competitive. In response to increased competition and general adverse economic conditions in this market, we may be required to modify our pricing practices. Changes in our pricing model could adversely affect our revenue and earnings.
 
We may be unable to respond to the evolving industry practices and technology solutions, and our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
 
To remain competitive as a mobile app provider, we must continue to invest in research and development of new technology solutions in order to keep up with the ever-evolving industry practices and enhancements to our existing solutions. The process of developing new technologies, products and services is complex and expensive. The introduction of new solutions by our competitors, the market acceptance of competitive solutions based on new or alternative technologies, or the emergence of new industry practices could render our solutions less competitive.

Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to avoid material impact on our financial position or results of operations resulting from claims or liabilities against us, and we may not be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future.
 
We maintain insurance coverage for protection against many risks of liability. The extent of our insurance coverage is under continuous review and is modified as we deem it necessary. Despite this insurance, it is possible that claims or liabilities against us may have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain any insurance coverage, or adequate insurance coverage, when our existing insurance coverage expires.
 
We depend on key personnel and may not be able to retain these employees or recruit additional qualified personnel, which could harm our business.
 
Our success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of our senior management and other members of management. We have contractual agreements with our CEO.
 
If our CEO does not continue in their present positions, our business may suffer. Because of the nature of our business, we are highly dependent upon attracting and retaining qualified personnel. While we have a strong record of employee retention, there is still significant competition for qualified personnel in our industry. Therefore, we may not be able to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business. The loss of the services of existing personnel, as well as the failure to recruit additional key technical, UX, and managerial personnel in a timely manner, could harm our business.
 
Potential changes in U.S. and international tax law.
  
Tax proposals to reform corporate tax law are constantly being considered. Proposals include both increasing and reducing the corporate statutory tax rate, broadening the corporate tax base through the elimination or reduction of deductions, exclusions, and credits, implementing a territorial regime of taxation, limiting the ability of U.S. corporations to deduct interest expense associated with offshore earnings, modifying the foreign tax credit rules, and reducing the ability to defer U.S. tax on offshore earnings. These or other changes in the U.S. tax laws could increase our effective tax rate, which would affect our profitability.
 
11
Any negative commentaries made by any regulatory agencies or any failure by us to comply with applicable regulations and related guidance could harm our reputation and operating results, and compliance with new regulations and guidance may result in additional costs.
 
Any negative commentaries made by any regulatory agencies or any failure on our part to comply with applicable regulations could result in the termination of customers using our products and services. This could harm our reputation, our prospects for generating future revenue, and our operating results. If our operations are found to violate any applicable law or other governmental regulations, we might be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, and fines. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business, and damage our reputation.
 
Current and future litigation against us, which may arise in the ordinary course of our business, could be costly and time consuming to defend.
  
We are subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our customers in connection with commercial disputes and employment claims made by our current or former employees. Third parties may in the future assert intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to our business and demand back royalties or demand that we license their technology. Litigation may result in substantial costs and may divert management’s attention and resources, which may seriously harm our business, overall financial condition, and operating results. Insurance may not cover such claims, may not be sufficient for one or more such claims, and may not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, negatively affecting our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
 
We could incur substantial costs resulting from product liability claims relating to our products or services or our customers’ use of our products or services.
 
Any failure or errors caused by our products or services could result in a claim for substantial damages against us by our customers, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. Although we are generally entitled to indemnification under our customer contracts against claims brought against us by third parties arising out of our customers’ use of our products, we might find ourselves entangled in lawsuits against us that, even if unsuccessful, may divert our resources and energy and adversely affect our business. Further, in the event we seek indemnification from a customer, a court may not enforce our indemnification right if the customer challenges it or the customer may not be able to fund any amounts for indemnification owed to us. In addition, our existing insurance coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or may not be available in amounts sufficient to cover one or more large claims, or the insurer may disclaim coverage as to any future claim.
 
As a public company, we may incur significant administrative workload and expenses in connection with new and changing compliance requirements
.
 
As a public company with common stock quoted on OTC Market, we must comply with various laws, regulations and requirements. New laws and regulations, as well as changes to existing laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and rules adopted by the SEC, may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention as we respond to new requirements.

Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains an explanatory paragraph as to our ability to continue as a going concern, which could prevent us from obtaining new financing on reasonable terms or at all.
 
Because we have limited operations and have sustained operating losses resulting in a deficit, substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to remain as a going concern. Accordingly, the report of Centurion ZD CPA & Co., our independent registered public accounting firm, with respect to our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, includes an explanatory paragraph as to our potential inability to continue as a going concern. The doubts regarding our potential ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all.
 
Due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to impairment of intangible assets associated with CreateApp business and treatment of the reverse acquisition by GoLogiq Inc. on January 27, 2022 within the reporting of subsequent events, we are restating our previously issued consolidated financial statements for several prior periods, which has resulted in unanticipated costs and may adversely affect investor confidence, our stock price, our ability to raise capital in the future and our reputation, and may result in stockholder litigation and regulatory actions.
 
We have incurred unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with the restatements, and the restatements may have the effect of eroding investor confidence in our Company and our financial reporting and accounting practices and processes and may raise reputational issues for our business. The restatements may negatively impact the trading price of our securities and make it more difficult for us to raise capital on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the restatements and related material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may also result in stockholder litigation against us, or adverse regulatory consequences, including investigations, penalties or suspensions by the SEC. Any such regulatory consequences, litigation, claim or dispute, whether successful or not, could subject us to additional costs, divert the attention of our management, or impair our reputation. Each of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We are subject to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 which subjects us to certain risks below.
 
Our financial statements contained in this annual report have been audited by,
Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion”)
, an independent registered public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the “PCAOB,” and operating in Hong Kong, and is currently subject to PCAOB rules regarding periodical inspection. However, our securities may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditor for two consecutive years, resulting in an exchange determining to delist our securities.  On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which was signed into law on December 29, 2022, amending the HFCA Act and requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchange if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the delisting of our Company and the prohibition of trading in our securities if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our accounting firm at any future time. On August 26, 2022, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (the “Protocol”) governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong (together, the “People’s Republic of China” or the “PRC”) , taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination. See “Recent joint statement by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to companies with non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB.”
 
Recent joint statement by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to companies with non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our continued listing or future offerings of our securities in the U.S.
 
On April 21, 2020, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and PCAOB Chairman William D. Duhnke III, along with other senior SEC staff, released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based in or have substantial operations in emerging markets including China. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets.
 
On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requiring a foreign company to certify it is not owned or controlled by a foreign government if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the company uses a foreign auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect the company’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a national exchange. On December 2, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. On December 18, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was signed into law.
 
On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act.
 
On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, whether the board of directors of a company is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.
 
On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions.
 
On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong because of positions taken by PRC and Hong Kong authorities in those jurisdictions.
 
On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2023 was signed into law, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act from three years to two years.
 
The lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors based in China. As a result, the investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms’ audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause investors and potential investors to lose confidence in the audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of the financial statements of those companies who have China-based auditors.
 
On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the MOF, and the PCAOB signed the “Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination.
 
Our auditor,
Centurion ZD CPA & Co
, is registered with the PCAOB and operating in Hong Kong, and is currently subject to PCAOB rules regarding periodical inspection. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued its determination that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong and included in the report of its determination a list of the accounting firms that are headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong.
 
On May 4, 2022, the Company was conclusively identified by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) because it filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K containing audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with an audit report by Centurion. Centurion is a Hong Kong-based public accounting firm previously deemed to be inaccessible for complete inspection by the PCAOB due to an authority’s position in the foreign jurisdiction. The inability of the PCAOB to inspect or investigate our auditor subjected the company to restrictions under the HFCAA, including the risk of having the Company’s shares subject to a trading prohibition.
 
However, in August 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. From September to November 2022, PCAOB staff conducted on-site inspections and investigations of Centurion.
 
In December 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had obtained complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong. It also confirmed that, until new determinations are issued by the PCAOB, no Commission-Identified Issuers, including the Company, are at risk of trading prohibition under the HFCAA.
 
However, if in the future the PRC adopts positions at any time in the future that would prevent the PCAOB from continuing to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong, or if.
 
the laws of the United States change, it is possible that such changes could make our current auditor arrangement inadequate. In addition, while we currently do not conduct business in the PRC, the recent developments would add uncertainties to any potential business in the PRC and we cannot assure you whether regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us should we conduct any operations in the PRC in the future.
 
If we are unable to develop and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are required to provide a quarterly management certification and an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As of December 31, 2022, we disclosed the following material weaknesses that have not yet been remediated: (1) we currently lack a functioning audit committee and lack a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) we currently have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) we have insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; (4) we have ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes; (5) we have ineffective controls over timely impairments of intangible assets; and (6) we lack internal control over financial reporting in the controls over the accounting treatment of subsequent events.
 
In addition, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, we have also determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective.
 
We cannot assure that the measures we have taken to date, and may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or that they will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses to be identified in the future. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. Any failure to design, implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls and procedures, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, may result in additional material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC or violations of applicable market or exchange listing rules.
 
There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in our Company and the reliability of our financial statements, particularly in light of the restatement of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements could also suffer if we are unable to remediate our existing material weaknesses or report additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us and lead to a decline in the price of our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
 
Our quarterly and annual operating results fluctuate and may continue to fluctuate in the future, and if we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline substantially
.
 
We believe that operating results for any particular quarter are not necessarily a meaningful indication of future results. Nonetheless, fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Our results of operations in any quarter or annual period have varied in the past, and may vary from quarter to quarter or year to year and are influenced by such factors as:
 
  
  
  
  
  
changes in the general global economy;
 
  
  
  
  
  
changes in customer budget cycles;
 
  
  
  
  
  
the number and scope of ongoing customer engagements;
 
  
  
  
  
  
changes in the mix of our products and services;
 
  
  
  
  
  
competitive pricing pressures;
 
  
  
  
  
  
the extent of cost overruns;
 
  
  
  
  
  
buying patterns of our customers;
 
  
  
  
  
  
the timing of new product releases by us or our competitors;
 
  
  
  
  
  
general economic factors, including factors relating to disruptions in the world credit and equity markets and the related impact on our customers’ access to capital;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors;
 
  
  
  
  
  
changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock;
 
  
  
  
  
  
speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;
 
  
  
  
  
  
significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers;
 
  
  
  
  
  
stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry;
13
  
  
  
  
  
customer demand for our business solutions;
 
  
  
  
  
  
investor perceptions of our industry in general and our Company in particular;
 
  
  
  
  
  
the operating and stock performance of comparable companies;
 
  
  
  
  
  
announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures;
 
  
  
  
  
  
the timing and charges associated with completed acquisitions, divestitures, and other events;
 
  
  
  
  
  
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles;
 
  
  
  
  
  
changes in tax laws, rules, regulations, and tax rates in the locations in which we operate;
 
  
  
  
  
  
exchange rate fluctuations;
 
  
  
  
  
  
loss of external funding sources;
 
  
  
  
  
  
sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and
 
  
  
  
  
  
addition or departure of key personnel.
 

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.
 
Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our Company at a time when you may want to sell your interest in our common stock.
 
If securities or industry analysts issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock or do not publish research or reports about our company, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
 
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We anticipate having limited analyst coverage and we may continue to have inadequate analyst coverage in the future. Even if we obtain adequate analyst coverage, we would have no control over such analysts or the content and opinions in their reports. Securities analysts may elect not to provide research coverage of our company and such lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The price of our common stock could also decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade our common stock or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. If one or more equity research analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
 
Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
 
The market price of shares of our common stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of our common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, a large number of shares of our common stock becoming available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares. As of March 31, 2023, we have 74,397,046 shares of our common stock outstanding.
14
Moreover, we may enter into agreements with certain holders of our common stock which could give such holders certain rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or our stockholders.
 
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.
 
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as may be amended from time to time, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Some of these provisions:
 
  
  
  
  
  
authorize our board of directors to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of authorized common stock;
 
  
  
  
  
  
specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by the Chairman of our board of directors, President, or Vice President; and
 
  
  
  
  
  
provide that stockholders will not be allowed to vote cumulatively in the election of directors;
In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limits the ability of stockholders owning in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock to merge or combine with us, unless such transaction satisfies certain conditions.
 
These anti-takeover provisions and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as may be amended from time to time, make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our board of directors or initiate actions that are opposed by the then-current board of directors and could also delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing or cause us to take other corporate actions you desire. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
 
Our inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms in the future may limit our ability to develop and commercialize new solutions and technologies and expand our operations.
 
If our available cash balances and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, due to lower demand for our products as a result of other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, we may seek to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations or licensing arrangements. We may also consider raising additional capital in the future to expand our business, pursue strategic investments, take advantage of financing opportunities, develop and exploit existing and new products, expand into new markets, or other reasons.
 
Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilutio
n
to our stockholders could result. Any equity securities issued also may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance of certain equity securities could result in increased fixed payment obligations and could also result in restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt or issue additional equity, limitations on our ability to acquire or license intellectual property rights, and other operating restrictions that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. In addition, the issuance of additional equity securities by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If we do not have, or are not able to obtain, sufficient funds, we may have to delay development or commercialization of our products or license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or our products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to liquidate some or all of our assets, or delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some or all of our development programs. We also may have to reduce marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products or cease operations. Any of these actions could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.
15
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
 
For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.
 
RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
We may be unable to adequately enforce or defend our ownership and use of our intellectual property and other proprietary rights
.
 
Part of our success is dependent upon our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We rely upon a combination of trademark, trade secret, copyright, unpatented know-how, and unfair competition laws, as well as license and access agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. In addition, we attempt to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information by requiring certain of our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality, non-competition, and assignment-of-inventions agreements. The steps we take to protect these rights may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology by third parties, or may not be adequate under the laws of some foreign countries, which may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Our attempts to protect our intellectual property may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation, and agreement terms that address non-competition are difficult to enforce in many jurisdictions and may not be enforceable in any particular case. In addition, there remains the possibility that others will “reverse engineer” our products in order to introduce competing products, or that others will develop competing technology independently. If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive, even if we were to prevail. The failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
 
Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property or trade secret rights could harm our business.
 
Our industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many companies. Third parties may in the future assert claims of infringement of intellectual property rights against us or against our customers or channel partners for which we may be liable. As the number of products and competitors in our market increases and overlaps occur, infringement claims may increase.
 
Intellectual property or trade secret claims against us, and any resulting lawsuits, may result in our incurring significant expenses and could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidate what we currently believe are our proprietary rights. Our involvement in any patent dispute or other intellectual property dispute or action to protect trade secrets and know-how could have a material adverse effect on our business. Adverse determinations in any litigation could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties and prevent us from developing and selling our products. Any of these situations could have a material adverse effect on our business. These claims, regardless of their merits or outcome, would likely be time consuming and expensive to resolve and could divert management’s time and attention.
16
Some of our products and services utilize open source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source licenses could adversely affect our business.
 
Some of our products utilize software covered by open source licenses. Open source software is typically freely accessible, usable and modifiable, and is used by our development team in an effort to reduce development costs and speed up the development process.

The audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by an auditor who has been previously identified by the PCAOB as not previously being able to be inspected by the PCAOB and, as such, our investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. In addition, although the PCAOB has vacated its 2021 determinations that the positions taken by authorities in mainland China and Hong Kong prevented it from inspecting and investigating completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in those jurisdictions, the subsequent change or adoption of any rules, legislations or other efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could cause uncertainty, and if such rules are changed and our audit firm is unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement in time frame provided by the HFCAA, our securities may be restricted from trading on a U.S. securities exchange or over-the-counter market.
As a public company with securities quoted on the OTC marketplace, we are required to have our financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB. A requirement of being registered with the PCAOB is that if requested by the SEC or PCAOB, such accounting firm is required to make its audits and related audit work papers available for regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Because our auditor is located in Hong Kong, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB has been unable to conduct inspections because of positions taken by the authorities in that jurisdiction, including an approval requirement by such authorities, the PCAOB has indicated that it currently does not have free access to inspect the work of our auditor. The lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in Hong Kong prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of our auditors based in Hong Kong. As a result, our investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of our auditor in Hong Kong makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of its audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of Hong Kong and certain other foreign jurisdictions that are subject to the PCAOB inspections.
 
On December 18, 2020, the HFCAA, was enacted. In essence, the HFCAA requires the SEC to restrict trading of securities on U.S. securities exchanges or OTC markets if the company retains a foreign accounting firm that cannot be inspected by the PCAOB, of which the restrictions shall occur for three consecutive years, unless otherwise terminated before the conclusion of such three year period, beginning in 2021. Our independent registered public accounting firm is located in and organized under the laws of Hong Kong, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB has indicated that it is currently unable to conduct inspections in without the approval of the necessary authorities.
17
On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the AHFCAA, which as of December 14, 2021, the AHFCAA remains before the House of Representatives for review.
 
On November 5, 2021, the SEC approved PCAOB Rule 6100, Board determination under the HFCAA, effective immediately. The rule establishes “a framework for the PCAOB’s determinations under the HFCAA that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.”
 
On December 2, 2021, SEC announced the adoption of interim final rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA. The rules apply to registrants the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate (“Commission-Identified Issuers”). The final amendments require Commission-Identified Issuers to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that, if true, it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in the public accounting firm’s foreign jurisdiction. The amendments also require that a Commission-Identified Issuer that is a “foreign issuer,” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 3b-4, provide certain additional disclosures in its annual report for itself and any of its consolidated foreign operating entities. Further, the adopting release provides notice regarding the procedures the SEC has established to identify issuers and to impose trading prohibitions on the securities of certain Commission-Identified Issuers, as required by the HFCAA. A Commission-Identified Issuer will be required to comply with the submission and disclosure requirements in the annual report for each year in which it was identified. If a registrant is identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer based on its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the registrant will be required to comply with the submission or disclosure requirements in its annual report filing covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
 
On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in certain foreign jurisdictions, including those firms headquartered in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by the authorities in those foreign jurisdictions. The PCAOB made these determinations pursuant to PCAOB Rule 6100, which provides a framework for how the PCAOB fulfills its responsibilities under the HFCAA. The report further listed in its Appendix B, Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to the Hong Kong Determination. The audit report included in this registration statement for the year ended December 31, 2021, was issued by Centurion, an audit firm headquartered in Hong Kong, a jurisdiction that the PCAOB has determined that the PCAOB is unable to conduct inspections or investigate auditors in. Our auditor, Centurion, is among those registered public accounting firms listed by the PCAOB Hong Kong Determination, a determination announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021, which the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely due to the fact it is headquartered in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the PRC, and because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. As a result, our investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in Hong Kong makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms’ audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of Hong Kong and certain other foreign jurisdictions that are subject to the PCAOB inspections.
 
The HFCAA requires, among other things, for the SEC to identify public companies that that have retained a registered public accounting firm to issue an audit report where the firm has a branch or office that: (i) is located in a foreign jurisdiction, and (ii) PCAOB has determined that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction. On April 12, 2022, the Company was provisionally identified by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA, and given 15 business days (until May 3, 2022) to contact the SEC with evidentiary proof claiming that we have been incorrectly identified under the HFCAA. Because the Company’s auditors are located in Hong Kong, the Company did not have a claim that it was incorrectly identified under the HFCAA, and as a result, it has been placed on the conclusive list. Due to the fact that we have been placed on the conclusive list, our securities may be subject to prohibitions on trading on a U.S. securities exchange or OTC trading market in the U.S. if we do not engage a new auditor or our auditor is not inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years (or two years if the AHFCAA is enacted), which would make it difficult for you to sell your securities. Additionally, the Company will be required to provide certain information to the SEC establishing that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in Hong Kong on or before the filing deadline for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company has not yet submitted such information to the SEC, but intends to do so prior to the deadline. There can be no assurances that the SEC will remove the Company from the list of issuers identified under the HFCAA, either now or in the future.
18
In addition, the SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. For example, on August 6, 2020, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, or the PWG, issued the Report on Protecting United States Investors from Significant Risks from Chinese Companies to the then President of the United States. This report recommended that the SEC implement five recommendations to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfil its statutory mandate. Some of the concepts of these recommendations were implemented with the enactment of the HFCAA. However, some of the recommendations were more stringent than the HFCAA.
 
The enactment of the HFCAA and the implications of any additional rulemaking efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information in Hong Kong could cause investor uncertainty for affected SEC registrants, including us, and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected. Additionally, whether the PCAOB will be able to conduct inspections of our auditor in the next three years (or two years if the AHFCAA is enacted), or at all, is subject to substantial uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our control. If our auditor is unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement in time or we do not engage a different auditor that complies with the relevant PCAOB inspection requirements, our securities may be restricted from trading on the OTC markets. Such restriction would substantially impair your ability to sell your securities when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with such restrictions on trading would have a negative impact on the price of our securities.
 
On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB vacated its 2021 determinations that the positions taken by authorities in mainland China and Hong Kong prevented it from inspecting and investigating completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in those jurisdictions. As a result, the Commission will not provisionally or conclusively identify an issuer as a Commission-Identified Issuer if it files an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm headquartered in either jurisdiction on or after December 15, 2022, until such time as the PCAOB issues a new determination.
 
On December 29, 2022, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, which, among other things, amended the HFCAA to reduce the number of consecutive years an issuer can be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer before the Commission must impose an initial trading prohibition on the issuer’s securities from three years to two years. Therefore, once an issuer is identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for two consecutive years, the Commission is required under the HCFAA to prohibit the trading of the issuer’s securities on a national securities exchange and in the over-the-counter market.
 
As noted above, on December 15, 2022, the PCAOB vacated its previous determinations that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. Accordingly, until such time as the PCAOB issues any new determination, there are no issuers at risk of having their securities subject to a trading prohibition under the HFCAA. As such, due to the fact the Company was identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer, there is still a risk that the PCAOB issues a new determination that could put the Company at risk for trading prohibitions despite the PCAOB vacating its determinations related to Hong Kong based auditors such as the Company’s. The Company will continue to monitor the situation for any regulatory changes.

On April 2, 2023, Logiq, Inc. was sued in the Fourth Judicial District, State of Minnesota (
David Niaz v. Logiq, Inc
., Case No. 27-CV-23-11953) by the listed Plaintiff, and the Complaint includes claims related to alleged unpaid compensation. We have yet to provide an answer to the Complaint as we are seeking proper legal representation in said matter. In addition, it is unclear if the Plaintiff’s Complaint is against the Company or against the Company’s former subsidiary, Logiq, Inc., a Nevada company, which became part of Collective Audience, Inc., on November 2, 2023 as shown in the Company’s filings with the SEC and as described in this Report.
We believe that the Plaintiff’s allegations are baseless and wholly without merit, and we plan to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. We have not accrued any expenses related to this lawsuit due to the loss not being probable.
 
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations.   These claims could subject us to costly litigation.  If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.  Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and business.  However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Recent Corporate Developments
 
AppLogiq Spin-Off
 
On December 15, 2021, the Company entered into various agreements with GoLogiq, Inc. (then known as Lovarra), a Nevada corporation (“GoLogiq”) and a public reporting company that, at the time, was a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to transfer its AppLogiq business to GoLogiq, subject to customary conditions and approvals and completion of requisite financial statement audits (the “Separation”). GoLogiq is a fully reporting U.S. public company. In connection with the Separation, the Company announced that it intended to distribute, on a pro rata basis, 100% of the Company’s ownership interests in GoLogiq to the Company’s shareholders of record as of December 30, 2021 (the “Record Date”) (the “Distribution,” and collectively with the “Separation,” the “Spin Off”), which Distribution of said shares was expected to occur approximately six months from completion of the Separation (the “Distribution Date”), subject to customary conditions and approvals.
 
On January 27, 2022, the Company completed the transfer of its AppLogiq business to GoLogiq. In connection with the completion of the transfer of AppLogiq to GoLogiq, GoLogiq issued 26,350,756 shares of its common stock to the Company (the “GoLogiq Shares”). The Company held the GoLogiq Shares until it distributed 100% of the GoLogiq Shares to the Company’s stockholders of record as of December 30, 2021 on a 1-for-1 basis (i.e. for every 1 share of Logiq held on December 30, 2021, the holder thereof will receive 1 share of Lovarra) upon completion of the Distribution.
 
On July 27, 2022, the Company completed the Distribution and Spin Off. As a result, the Company no longer has a direct equity ownership of GoLogiq.
 
As of December 31, 2023, the Company controlled, through one of its subsidiaries, approximately 7.6% of the GoLogiq’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

DataLogiq Spin-off
On September 9, 2022, the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DLQ, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“DLQ”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Abri SPAC I, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Abri”), and Abri Merger Sub (“Merger Sub”) wherein Merger Sub will merge with and into DLQ with DLQ being the surviving company (“Surviving Company”), and a wholly owned subsidiary of Abri. The Merger is expected to close after obtaining the required approval by the stockholders of Abri and the Company, and upon the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions (“Closing”).
 
At Closing Abri will deliver to the Company $114 million worth of shares Abri common stock, par value $0.0001, at $10.00 per share (the “Merger Consideration Shares”). Also at Closing, the Company will issue a dividend to its shareholders on a pro-rata basis equal to 25% of the aggregate Merger Consideration Shares (the “Dividend Shares”), payable to the Company shareholders of record as of a record date to be set shortly before Closing. More information relating to the Merger Agreement, the dividend and the various agreements associated with the Merger Agreement can be found in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 12, 2022.

COVID-19 Effect

 
 
Due to the unprecedented effect and related impact of Covid-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced a push back from the Company’s resellers and white label distributors from April 2020, for its Platform as a Service pay-to-use subscription basis. The Company is expecting an uncertain outlook in its service revenues, as its operations in South East Asia are currently being disrupted by the continuing impact of Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, our PAY/GOLogiq associate revenues have been reduced as offices and compulsory lock down protocols are being implemented, which are expected to be in force until the majority of the populous have been vaccinated through to the end of calendar year 2022.

 
 
Components of Results of Operations

 
 
Revenue (Service)

 
 
The Company’s DataLogiq revenues are derived through the management of online advertising campaigns on behalf of customers, which include per-impression, and cost per acquisition (“CPA”) arrangements as well as the delivery of qualified leads.

 
 
In 2020, during COVID-19, we pursued a path towards higher gross profit margins which involved an elimination of lower margin business and increase of direct sales/marketing. This caused a reduction in overall revenue but successfully yielded higher margins more than double over the course of the following year. Given the recent decline in the stock market and specifically in the price of technology stocks, we felt that it was time to replicate the same strategy and evaluate a higher margin path again.
 
25
Cost of Revenue (Service)
 
Cost of revenue primarily consists of fees from cloud-based hosting services and personnel costs. Personnel costs consist of wages, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses. Allocated overhead costs consist of certain facilities and utility costs. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars, as product revenue increases.
 
The Company’s DataLogiq digital marketing analytics business segment cost of revenue is primarily generated by media cost to power our assets.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and research and development expenses. Salaries and personnel-related costs, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, are the most significant components of each category of operating expenses. Operating expenses also include allocated overhead costs for facilities and utility costs.
 
General and Administrative
– General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses for administrative functions including finance, legal, human resources and fees for third-party professional services, as well as allocated overhead. We expect our general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in growing the business.
 
Depreciation and amortization
– Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of amortization of development costs and trademark for our software platforms.
 
Research and Development
– Research and development expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, allocated overhead, and developments to our website, e-commerce, and mobile app platforms. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in new and existing products and services.
 
Other Income (Expense), net
 
Other income consists of income received for activities outside of our core business. In 2021, this includes interest from US based financial asset money market funds.
 
Other (expense) consists of expense for activities outside of our core business. In 2021, DataLogiq incurred early withdrawal fees from an escrow account relating to Conversion Point Technologies.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
 
Provision for income taxes consists of estimated income taxes due to the United States, foreign countries, and the respective taxing authorities in jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
  
 
During the year ended December 31, 2023, our primary sources of capital came from (i) cash flows from our operations, (ii) existing cash, and (iii) proceeds from third-party financings. 
 
As of December 31, 2023, we currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. Our capex & R&D plans are dependent on the availability of working capital and can be scaled back as required without penalty. 
 
We know of no material trends in our capital trends aside from the funds to be raised in future offerings. We have focused our resources behind a plan to grow our data sales, where we have a technology advantage and higher margins. If we are successful in implementing our plan, we expect to return to a positive cash flow from operations. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve this objective.
 
We know of no trends or demands reasonably likely to affect liquidity other than those listed as Risk Factors.
 
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Operating Activities
 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, loss from discontinued and deconsolidation operations used $(955,686) and loss from continuing operations used $(16,981,468), compared to $(6,701,439) and $(9,022,882) for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Investing Activities
 
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we have $(482,420) for investing activities in the Company’s
 
financial asset investment.
 
 
33
 
 
Financing Activities
 
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we generated $17,964,226 from financing activities, compared to $7,400,881 of cash generated for the year ended December 31, 2022.
 
We estimate that based on current plans, assumptions and successful continuing fund raising plans, that our available cash and the cash we generate from our core operations will generally be sufficient to satisfy our capital expenditures under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. We have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. However, we shall continue to evaluate our capital expenditure needs based upon factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of our sales and marketing, the timing of new product introductions, and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may open a revolving line of credit with a bank, or we may have to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain expanded credit facilities to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, diversify our geographical reach, and grow our company. In the event such financing is needed in the future, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us, or, if available, that it will be in amounts and on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need or want them, our operations and prospects could be negatively affected. However, if cash flows from operations become insufficient to continue operations at the current level, and if no additional financing were obtained, then management would restructure the Company in a way to preserve its business while maintaining expenses within operating cash flows.
 
Known Trends or Uncertainties
 
We have seen some consolidation in the mobile applications industry during economic downturns. These consolidations have not had a negative effect on our total sales; however, should consolidations and downsizing in the industry continue to occur, those events could adversely impact our revenues and earnings going forward.
 
We believe that the need for improved productivity in the research and development activities directed toward developing new and enhanced PaaS applications will continue to result in SMBs utilizing our products and services. New product developments could result in increased revenues and earnings if they are accepted by our markets; however, there can be no assurances that new products will result in significant improvements to revenues or earnings. For competitive reasons, we do not disclose all of our new product development activities.
 
The potential for growth in new markets is uncertain. We will continue to explore these opportunities until such time as we either generate sales or determine that resources would be more efficiently used elsewhere.
 
Inflation
 
We have not been affected materially by inflation during the periods presented, and no material effect is expected in the near future.
 
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
We have no material contractual obligations as of December 31, 2023.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are included in Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.
 
Recently Issued or Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
 
Our recently issued or newly adopted accounting standards are included in Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
 
We do not have relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from their non-independent relationship with us or our related parties.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Logiq, Inc.
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Logiq, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses of $16,409,919 and negative cash flows of $17,937,154 from operations for the year then ended December 31, 2023. As at December 31, 2023, the Company has a working capital deficit of $2,660,000 and an accumulated deficit of $390,680 and an accumulated deficit of $131,809,349. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Critical Audit Matter
 
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the continued financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

On November 2, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Fixel AI Inc., thereby acquiring its self-serve MarTech Audience Targeting platform as a further expansion of its DataLogiq product suite.
 
 
On March 29, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Rebel AI, Inc., thereby acquiring its “The Rebel AI” advertising platform as a further expansion of its DataLogiq product suite.
On December 15, 2021, the Company entered into various agreements with GoLogiq, Inc. (then known as Lovarra), a Nevada corporation (“GoLogiq”) and a public reporting company that, at the time, was a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to transfer its AppLogiq business to GoLogiq, subject to customary conditions and approvals and completion of requisite financial statement audits (the “Separation”). GoLogiq is a fully reporting U.S. public company. In connection with the Separation, the Company announced that it intended to distribute, on a pro rata basis, 100% of the Company’s ownership interests in GoLogiq to the Company’s shareholders of record as of December 30, 2021 (the “Record Date”) (the “Distribution,” and collectively with the “Separation,” the “Spin Off”), which Distribution of said shares was expected to occur approximately six months from completion of the Separation (the “Distribution Date”), subject to customary conditions and approvals.
 
On January 27, 2022, the Company completed the transfer of its AppLogiq business to GoLogiq. In connection with the completion of the transfer of AppLogiq to GoLogiq, GoLogiq issued 26,350,756 shares of its common stock to the Company (the “GoLogiq Shares”). The Company held the GoLogiq Shares until it distributed 100% of the GoLogiq Shares to the Company’s stockholders of record as of December 30, 2021 on a 1-for-1 basis (i.e. for every 1 share of Logiq held on December 30, 2021, the holder thereof will receive 1 share of Lovarra) upon completion of the Distribution.
 
On July 27, 2022, the Company completed the Distribution and Spin Off. As a result, the Company no longer has a direct equity ownership of GoLogiq.
 
As of December 31, 2023, the Company controlled, through one of its subsidiaries, approximately 7.6% of the GoLogiq’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
 
DataLogiq Spin-off
 
On September 9, 2022, the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DLQ, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“DLQ”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Abri SPAC I, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Abri”), and Abri Merger Sub (“Merger Sub”) wherein Merger Sub will merge with and into DLQ with DLQ being the surviving company (“Surviving Company”), and a wholly owned subsidiary of Abri. The Merger is expected to close after obtaining the required approval by the stockholders of Abri and the Company, and upon the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions (“Closing”).
 
At Closing Abri will deliver to the Company $114 million worth of shares Abri common stock, par value $0.0001, at $10.00 per share (the “Merger Consideration Shares”). Also at Closing, the Company will issue a dividend to its shareholders on a pro-rata basis equal to 25% of the aggregate Merger Consideration Shares (the “Dividend Shares”), payable to the Company shareholders of record as of a record date to be set shortly before Closing. More information relating to the Merger Agreement, the dividend and the various agreements associated with the Merger Agreement can be found in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 12, 2022.

On May 1, 2023, the Company and DLQ into an amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the other parties thereto, to remove the requirement that Abri have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Merger.

On June 8, 2023, the Company and DLQ entered into a second amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the other parties thereto, to (i) amend the exchange on which its securities can be listed in connection with the Business Combination to include being listed on Nasdaq Global Market, and (ii) waive any default of Section 9.1(i) of the Merger Agreement for having received a notice from Nasdaq for non-compliance.

On July 20, 2023, the Company, DLQ, Abri and Merger Sub entered into the Third Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to (i) remove provisions related to the transfer of certain intellectual property assets of Fixel AI, Inc. (“Fixel”) and Rebel AI, Inc. (“Rebel”), (ii) change the name of the Surviving Corporation to “Collective Audience, Inc.”, and (iii) increase the size of the senior financing facility from $25 Million to $30 Million.

On August 28, 2023, the Company, DLQ, Abri and Merger Sub entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) to (i) increase the number of shares being distributed to public stockholders of the Company from approximately 25% to approximately 33% of the aggregate Merger Consideration, (ii) require DLQ to distribute 14% of the Merger Consideration Shares to certain investors in DLQ, and (iii) reduce the number of Merger Consideration Shares subject to Lock-Up Agreements, effective as of Closing, from 75% to 53%.

On November 2, 2023, the Merger was completed and the Merger Agreement was successfully Closed. In connection to with the completion of the Merger, the Combined Company issued 3,762,000 of the Combined Company shares to the Company.

At  December 31, 2023, the Company completed the Distribution and Spin Off. As a result, the Company no longer has a direct equity ownership of DLQ, Inc.

Going Concern
 
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to support operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.  During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has incurred continuing operating losses of
$16,409,919
and has negative cash flows of $17,937,154 from operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. As at December 31, 2023, the Company has a working capital deficit of $(390,680) and an accumulated deficit of
$131,809,349.
These factors raise substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
 
F-9
 
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis to reflect the financial position and results of operations of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The Consolidated results include Logiq, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) and its subsidiaries.

 
On July 27, 2022, the Company completed the Distribution and Spin Off. As a result, the Company no longer has a direct equity ownership of GoLogiq.
 
On the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed the Distribution and Spin Off. As a result, the Company no longer has a direct equity ownership of DLQ, Inc.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition related expenses and integration costs are expensed as incurred.
 
CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The Company relies on cloud-based hosting through a global accredited hosting provider. Management believes that alternate sources are available; however, disruption or termination of this relationship could adversely affect our operating results in the near-term.
 
SEGMENT REPORTING
 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker, or decision- making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
  
DATALogiq is a business segment created in January 2020 from our acquisition of Push Holdings Inc, comprising a consumer data management platform powered by lead generation, online marketing, and multichannel reengagement strategies through its owned and operated brands by Push Holdings Inc. and Fixel AI Inc. DataLogiq has developed a proprietary data management platform and integrates with several third-party service providers to optimize the return on its marketing efforts. DataLogiq focuses on consumer engagement and data enrichment to maximize its return on acquisition through repeat monetization of each consumer.
 
We identify our reportable segments as those customer groups that represent more than 10% of our combined revenue or gross profit or loss of all reported operating segments. We manage our business on the basis of the two reportable segment e-commerce solutions and service provider. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole. We do not segregate assets by segments since our chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, does not use assets as a basis to evaluate a segment’s performance.
 
 
F-10
 
 
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
 
Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration in a business combination and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Based on that qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approach. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. The Company performed its qualitative assessment and determined that no impairment indicators were present during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company classifies its long-life assets into: (i) computer and office equipment; (ii) furniture and fixtures, (iii) leasehold improvements, and (iv) finite – life intangible assets.
 
Long-life assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-life asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
 
The Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as the Company’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion.
 
GROUP ACCOUNTING
 
Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the date of acquisition, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group to the date on which that control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group. Minority interest is that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the Group. It is measured at the minorities’ share of the fair value of the subsidiaries’ identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition by the Group and the minorities’ share of changes in equity since the date of acquisition, except when the losses applicable to the minority in a subsidiary exceed the minority interest in the equity of that subsidiary. In such cases, the excess and further losses applicable to the minority are attributed to the equity holders of the Company, unless the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make good the losses. When that subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the profits applicable to the minority are attributed to the equity holders of the Company until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the equity holders of the Company has been recovered.
 
SUBSIDIARIES
 
When subsidiaries are excluded from consolidation on the basis that their inclusion involving expense and delay out of proportion to the value to members of the Company, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company’s balance sheet. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment is taken to the income statement.

ASSOCIATES
 
Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding interest of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognized at cost. The group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition. The group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Where the group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
 
FINANCIAL ASSETS
 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in ‘other gains and losses’ line in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
 
The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including the available-for-sale debt securities. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach).
 
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
 
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
 
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs with little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most conservative level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
LEASE
 
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on January 8, 2020, using a modified retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company leases its offices which are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
 
At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. No impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of December 31, 202

.
 
AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE INVESTMENTS
 
Certain shares and debt securities held by the group are classified as being available for sale and are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value, impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets are recognized directly in profit or loss. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payments is established. The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at end of the reporting period. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortised cost of the available-for-sale monetary asset is recognized in profit or loss, and other changes are recognised in other comprehensive income.
 
 
F-12
 
 
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables from customers. The Company records accounts receivable at its net realizable value, recognizing an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of probable credit losses on our existing accounts receivable. Balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the possibility of recovery is considered remote.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks, which have original maturities of twelve months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic (loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.
 
FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), “Earnings Per Share,” requires that employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees be treated as potential common shares in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share should be based on the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited, unless doing so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the “treasury stock” method for equity instruments granted in share-based payment transactions provided in ASC 260 to determine diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share as their impact was antidilutive.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company’s Platform as a Service (“PaaS”) provides the infrastructure allowing users to develop their own applications and IT services, which users can access anywhere via a web or desktop browser. The Company recognizes revenue on a pay-to-use subscription basis when our customers use our platform. For the territories licensed to our distributors and on a white label basis, we derive royalty income from the end user use of our platform on a white label basis.
 
The Company maintains the PaaS software platform at its own cost. Any enhancements and minor customization for our resellers/distributors are not separately billed. Major new proprietary features are billed to the customer separately as development income while re-usable features are added to the features available to all customers on subsequent releases of our platform.
 
COST OF REVENUE
 
The Company cost of revenue comprises fees from third party cloud-based hosting services and media costs
.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
We value stock compensation based on the fair value recognition provisions 
ASC 718
Compensation – Stock Compensation,
 which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services and requires companies to expense the estimated grant date fair value of stock awards over the requisite employee service period.
 
We do not ascertain the fair value of restricted stock awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
On October 2, 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.” The ASU adds SEC paragraphs to the new revenue and leases sections of the Codification on the announcement the SEC Observer made at the 20 July 2017 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meeting. The SEC Observer said that the SEC staff would not object if entities that are considered public business entities only because their financial statements or financial information is required to be included in another entity’s SEC filing use the effective dates for private companies when they adopt ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 842, Leases. This would include entities whose financial statements are included in another entity’s SEC filing because they are significant acquirees under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, significant equity method investees under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X and equity method investees whose summarized financial information is included in a registrant’s financial statement notes under Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X. The ASU also supersedes certain SEC paragraphs in the Codification related to previous SEC staff announcements and moves other paragraphs, upon adoption of ASC 606 or ASC 842. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
On November 22, 2017, the FASB ASU No. 2017-14, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release 33-10403.” The ASU amends various paragraphs in ASC 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income; ASC 605, Revenue Recognition; and ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that contain SEC guidance. The amendments include superseding ASC 605-10-S25-1 (SAB Topic 13) as a result of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and adding ASC 606-10-S25-1 as a result of SEC Release No. 33-10403. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The ASU amends ASC 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, to “allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.” In addition, under the ASU, an entity will be required to provide certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“ASU 2018-05”), which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and XBRL Taxonomy based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) that was signed into law on December 22, 2017 and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Act changes numerous provisions that impact U.S. corporate tax rates, business-related exclusions, and deductions and credits and may additionally have international tax consequences for many companies that operate internationally. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases.” The ASU addresses 16 separate issues which include, for example, a correction to a cross reference regarding residual value guarantees, a clarification regarding rates implicit in lease contracts, and a consolidation of the requirements about lease classification reassessments. The guidance also addresses lessor reassessments of lease terms and purchase options, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, investment tax credits, lease terms and purchase options, transition guidance for amounts previously recognized in business combinations, and certain transition adjustments, among others. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this Update, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 - Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The ASU simplifies transition requirements and, for lessors, provides a practical expedient for the separation of non-lease components from lease components. Specifically, the ASU provides: (1) an optional transition method that entities can use when adopting ASC 842 and (2) a practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Update 2016-02. For entities that have adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the transition and effective date of the amendments in this Update are as follows: 1) The practical expedient may be elected either in the first reporting period following the issuance of this Update or at the original effective date of Topic 842 for that entity. 2) The practical expedient may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. All entities, including early adopters, that elect the practical expedient related to separating components of a contract in this Update must apply the expedient, by class of underlying asset, to all existing lease transactions that qualify for the expedient at the date elected. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” These amendments require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reporting segment are required to provide both the new disclosures and all of the existing disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-07.
 
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023 – 09 are effective for the Company on December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operation or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023–09.
 
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.

NOTE 1

 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Common Stock
 
On February 25, 2020, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a rate of approximately 1-for-13 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
 
Upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, and the resulting effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every 13 outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock were, without any further action by the Company, or any holder thereof, combined into and automatically became 1 share of the Company’s Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu thereof, fractional shares were cancelled, and stockholders received a cash payment in an amount equal to the fair market value of such fractional shares on the effective date. All shares of Common Stock eliminated as a result of the Reverse Stock Split have been returned to the Company’s authorized and unissued capital stock, and the Company’s capital was reduced by an amount equal to the par value of the shares of Common Stock so retired.
 
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the Company’s current authorized number of shares of Common Stock or its par value. As such, the Company is authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001.
 

Issuance of Common Stock
 
2022
 
Sale of Common Stock – March 2022
 
On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Ionic Ventures, LLC (“Ionic”), whereby the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Ionic, and Ionic is obligated to purchase up to in the aggregate $40,000,000 worth of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchase Shares”), par value $0.0001 per share. Sales of common stock by the Company under the Purchase Agreement will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, over the 24-month period commencing on March 30, 2020 (the “Primary Commencement Date”).
 
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is registering 2,926,000 shares of common stock to Ionic in connection with the purchase of $3,000,000 in shares of common stock (the “Primary Shares”) in connection with the initial purchase of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, which reflects an estimated value equal to the product of (A) the quotient of (y) the purchase amount (i.e., $3,000,000) divided by (z) the Pre-Settlement Regular Purchase Price (defined below), multiplied by (B) 125% (which Ionic may increase at its discretion). The “Pre-Settlement Regular Purchase Price” is equal to 80% of the closing price of the common stock on the OTCQX Market on the date immediately preceding the Company’s receipt of a purchase notice under the Purchase Agreement.
 
The Regular Purchase Price, which is the price at which future shares of common stock sold under the Purchase Agreement will be sold at, for the Purchase Shares shall equal 97% of the arithmetic average of the five lowest VWAPs during the period starting on the date that Ionic receives Pre-Settlement Regular Purchase Shares and ending on such date that the aggregate dollar volume of our common stock traded on our Principal Market equals five times the Purchase Amount, in the aggregate, subject to a five Trading Day minimum (provided, however, that each day on which Ionic has requested Purchase Shares which cannot be delivered to Ionic shall be excluded from such calculation). This is a forward pricing mechanism based on an estimate and true up and as of the date of this filing, the Regular Purchase Price has yet to be calculated.
 

 
 
F-18
 
 
Also in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase 631,579 shares of common stock (1.5% of the total $40,000,000 commitment amount) to Ionic for no consideration as a commitment fee, and has agreed to register the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Warrant may be exercised for cash, but may also be exercised on a cashless exercise basis, which means the Company may not receive any proceeds from such cashless exercise. Under the Warrant, the Company does not have the right to control the timing and amount of any Warrant exercises by Ionic, except that there is a 9.99% ownership limitation blocker in the Warrant. Ionic may ultimately decide to exercise all, some or none of the Warrant.
 
The Company intends to register the remaining up to $37,000,000 worth of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, or any additional Primary Shares that may be issued after the date hereof to Ionic, or any Purchase Shares which may be issuable to Ionic as a “true up” pursuant to the initial purchase described above pursuant to a resale registration statement on Form S-1, which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 18, 2022, but which not yet been declared effective by the SEC. The Company and Ionic entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”) dated as of March 30, 2022, for such purpose.
 
Actual sales of common stock to Ionic under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, an effective resale registration statement, which is a condition to the commencement of additional sales under the Purchase Agreement (each, a “Secondary Commencement”), market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.
 
The Company expects that any net proceeds received by the Company from sales to Ionic under the Purchase Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
The purchase price of the common stock purchased by the Ionic under the Purchase Agreement will be derived from prevailing market prices of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the time of sale. The Company will control the timing and amount of future sales, if any, of Common Stock to Ionic. Ionic has no right to require the Company to sell any common stock to it, but Ionic is obligated to make purchases as the Company directs, subject to certain conditions.
 
The Purchase Agreement and the RRA each contains certain representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions and indemnification and termination provisions by, between and for the benefit of the parties which are customary of transactions of this nature. Ionic may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
 
The issuance of the Primary Shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant have been registered pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-259851) (the “Registration Statement”), and the related base prospectus included in the Registration Statement dated October 8, 2021, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement to be filed on or about March 31, 2022 (the “Prospectus Supplement”).
 
Battle Bridge Acquisition – March 2022
 
On March 31, 2022 the Company, Battle Bridge Acquisition Co, LLC, a company beneficially owned entirely by the Company (the “Buyer”), Section 2383 LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Seller”), Travis Phipps, an individual (“Phipps”) and Robb Billy (“Billy” and, together with Phipps, the “Founders”) and Travis Phipps, as Representative, entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Battle Bridge Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Buyer agreed to purchase from Seller and Seller agreed to sell to Buyer substantially all of the assets of Seller which represents the “Battle Bridge Labs” business (the “Battle Bridge Assets”) (collectively, the “Transaction”). The consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing”) occurred simultaneously with execution of the Battle Bridge Purchase Agreement on March 31, 2022.
 
As consideration for the Buyer’s acquisition of the Battle Bridge Assets, the Company agreed to pay $3,250,000 (the “Purchase Price”) which consisted of $250,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and the issuance of 2,912,621 shares of restricted common stock of the Company at $1.03 per share (the “Stock Consideration”) (representing $3,000,000in Stock Consideration) which was the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock as reported by Bloomberg LP for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to Closing. $500,000 in Stock Consideration was retained by the Company at the Closing and held as partial security to satisfy indemnification claims for a period of 12 months following the Closing.
 

 

F-19
 
 
 

In addition, the recipients of the Stock Consideration agreed to sign lock-up and leak-out agreements which provide that, following a 6-month lock-period and ending 18 months after Closing, any sales of the Company’s common stock by such recipients do not exceed one percent (1%) of the then applicable thirty (30) day trading average volume of the Company’s common stock as of such date.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2022, a total of 5,817,274 shares with par value of $0.0001 per share were issued for consultancy services received including shares issued to Senior Management, Directors, Operational Staff, Legal Consultants, Strategy Advisors and Technology Consultants received and 22,950,490 shares with par value of $0.0001 per share were issued to various stockholders.

The acquisition of substantially all the assets of Pushing Holding was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805,
Business Combinations
(“ASC 805”), with the results of Logiq, Inc. (Nevada)’s operations included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from January 9, 2020. Goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total consideration over the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Logiq, Inc. (Nevada) acquired substantially all of the assets of Push Holdings, Inc. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows:

Fair valuation methods used for the identifiable net assets acquired in the acquisition make use of quoted prices in active markets, discounted cash flows and risk adjusted weighted cost of capital. The methods used in determining fair value of the intangible assets included consideration of the three traditional approaches to value: market, income, and cost. Accordingly, after due consideration of other appropriate and generally accepted valuation methodologies, the value of intangible assets acquired from Push has been developed primarily on the basis of the income approach. Under the income approach, the Company evaluated revenue projections derived from the software technology and the appropriate royalty rate that Push Holdings would have paid if Push Holdings did not own the software technology.
 
On the acquisition date, goodwill of $4,781,208 and other intangible assets of $8,250,000 were recorded. The other intangible asset identified during the acquisition is software technology, which has a weighted average useful life of five years, which is management’s best estimate at the time of the acquisition.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of the identified material weakness described below.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) are designed and operated to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and our process for the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
 
35
 
 
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting.
 
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission (1992 Framework) to evaluate the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 using the COSO framework.  Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 was not effective as we did not maintain effective controls over the selection and application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) related to classification of capital transactions. Specifically, the members of our management team with the requisite level of accounting knowledge, experience and training commensurate with our financial reporting requirements did not analyze certain accounting issues at the level of detail required to ensure the proper application of GAAP in certain circumstances. These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our management concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 should no longer be relied upon. In light of the errors, management re-evaluated its assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and concluded each was ineffective as of December 31, 2022.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In particular, management identified the following material weaknesses in its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022:
 
Lack of adequate policies and procedures in internal audit function, which resulted in: (1) lack of communication between the internal audit department and the Board of Directors; (2) insufficient internal audit work to ensure that the Company’s policies and procedures have been carried out as planned;

 
Lack of sufficient full-time accounting staff in our accounting department that have experience and knowledge in identifying and resolving complex accounting issues under U.S. GAAP, and

 
Lack of sufficient accounting personnel which would provide segregation of duties within our internal control procedures to support the accurate reporting of our financial results.

 
Remediation Efforts to Address Significant Deficiencies
 
To remediate the weakness in our internal control, during the year of 2024, the Board has provided training to our finance personnel for the application of SEC regulations, and the preparation of financial statements and their related disclosures.
 
We also intend to take the following actions to address the material weaknesses described above:
 
Management will provide further necessary oversight on and training for accounting and finance personnel, so that they are well versed in SEC regulations.  We expect to provide it to our staff throughout the year of 2024;

 
Management will perform a thorough review of the processes and procedures used in the Company’s SEC reporting compliance.  The review of the processes and procedures shall be carried out during the year of 2024.

 
Any actions we have taken or may take to remediate these material weaknesses are subject to continued management review supported by testing. We cannot assure you that these material weaknesses will not occur in the future and that we will be able to remediate such weaknesses in a timely manner, which could impair our ability to accurately and timely report our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Other than those described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
However, as noted above, we will be implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address the material weakness described above.
 
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

em 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections
 
On May 4, 2022, the Company was conclusively identified by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) because it filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K containing audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with an audit report by Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion”). Centurion is a Hong Kong-based public accounting firm previously deemed to be inaccessible for complete inspection by the PCAOB due to an authority’s position in the foreign jurisdiction.
 
The inability of the PCAOB to inspect or investigate our auditor subjected the company to restrictions under the HFCAA, including the risk of having the Company’s shares subject to a trading prohibition.
 
However, in August 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. From September to November 2022, PCAOB staff conducted on-site inspections and investigations of Centurion.
 
In December 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had obtained complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong. It also confirmed that, until new determinations are issued by the PCAOB, no Commission-Identified Issuers, including the Company, are at risk of trading prohibition under the HFCAA.
 
As of the date of this report, GoLogiq, Inc. is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in a foreign jurisdiction. We have no awareness or belief any governmental entity in a foreign jurisdiction owns shares of our capital stock. Similarly, no official from a governmental entity in a foreign jurisdiction serves as a board member or officer within our Company or its operating subsidiaries. Based on the absence of a Schedule 13D or 13G filing by any such governmental entity, the lack of material contracts with foreign governmental parties, and the absence of foreign government representation on our board of directors, we have determined that no governmental entity, including but not limited to, mainland China or Hong Kong has the power to direct or control our management, policies, or possess a controlling financial interest.

In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current members), the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the board of directors, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will take into account many factors, including the following:
 
·
Personal and professional integrity, ethics and values;
 
·
Experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly-held company;
 
·
Experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly-held company;
 
·
Strong finance experience;
 
·
Diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to our business relative to other board members;

·
Experience relevant to our business industry and with relevant social policy concerns; and
 
·
Relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of our business operations.
Currently, our board of directors evaluates each individual in the context of the board of directors as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best maximize the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End
 
There are no shares of common stock underlying outstanding equity incentive plan awards for the executive officer as of December 31, 2023. 
 
 
Equity Compensation Plan Information
 
 
On September 30, 2020, the Company adopted an equity compensation plan entitled the Logiq, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company reserved up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan.
 
The Plan allows for the grant of a variety of equity vehicles to provide flexibility in implementing equity awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock grants, unrestricted stock grants and restricted stock units.
Plan Administration
. As used herein with respect to the Plan, the “Board of Directors” refers to any committee the Board of Directors appoints as well as to the Board of Directors itself. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors has the power to construe and interpret the Plan and awards granted under it and to determine the persons to whom and the dates on which awards will be granted, the number of shares of common stock to be subject to each award, the time or times during the term of each award within which all or a portion of such award may be exercised, the exercise price, the type of consideration and other terms of the award. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Board of Directors will also determine the exercise price of options granted under the Plan and, with the consent of any adversely affected option holder, may reduce the exercise price of any outstanding option, cancel an outstanding option in exchange for a new option covering the same or a different number of shares of common stock or another equity award or cash or other consideration, or any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Board of Directors regarding the Plan shall be final and binding on all participants or other persons claiming rights under the Plan or any award.
Options
. Options granted under the Plan may become exercisable in cumulative increments (“vest”) as determined by the Board of Directors. Such increments may be based on continued service to the Company over a certain period of time, the occurrence of certain performance milestones, or other criteria. Options granted under the Plan may be subject to different vesting terms. The Board of Directors has the power to accelerate the time during which an option may vest or be exercised. In addition, options granted under the Plan may permit exercise prior to vesting, but in such event the participant may be required to enter into an early exercise stock purchase agreement that allows the Company to repurchase unvested shares, generally at their exercise price, should the participant’s service terminate before vesting. To the extent provided by the terms of an option, a participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise of such option by a cash payment upon exercise, by authorizing the Company to withhold a portion of the stock otherwise issuable to the participant, or by such other method as may be set forth in the option agreement. The maximum term of options under the Plan is 10 years, except that in certain cases the maximum term of certain incentive stock options is five years. Options under the Plan generally terminate three months after termination of the participant’s service. Incentive stock options are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided that a participant may designate a beneficiary who may exercise an option following the participant’s death. Non-statutory stock options are transferable to the extent provided in the option agreement.
 
 
44
 
 
Stock Bonuses and Restricted Stock Awards. 
Subject to certain limitations, the consideration, if any, for restricted stock unit awards must be at least the par value of our common stock. The consideration for a stock unit award may be payable in any form acceptable to the Board of Directors and permitted under applicable law. The Board of Directors may impose any restrictions or conditions upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards, or that delay the delivery of the consideration after the vesting of stock unit awards, that it deems appropriate. Restricted stock unit awards are settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by a restricted stock unit award, as determined by the Board of Directors. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, such dividend equivalents may be converted into additional shares covered by the restricted stock unit award
If a restricted stock unit award recipient’s service relationship with the Company terminates, any unvested portion of the restricted stock unit award is forfeited upon the recipient’s termination of service.
 
 
Certain Adjustments
. Transactions not involving receipt of consideration by the Company, such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or a change in corporate structure may change the type(s), class(es) and number of shares of common stock subject to the Plan and outstanding awards. In that event, the Plan will be appropriately adjusted as to the type(s), class(es) and the maximum number of shares of common stock subject to the Plan, and outstanding awards will be adjusted as to the type(s), class(es), number of shares and price per share of common stock subject to such awards.
On April 21, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Plan (as amended and restated, the “First A&R Plan”), subject to stockholder approval, to provide that stock options issued under the plan (i) may not be transferred and (ii) may not have an exercise price less than the fair market value (“FMV”) of such stock options as of the grant date. Pursuant to such amendment (the “First A&R Plan”), FMV shall be determined as follows: (i) if the Company’s common stock is then listed or admitted to trading on a national stock exchange, the FMV shall be either (x) the five-day volume weighted average trading price, calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of securities traded on a national stock exchange for the relevant period, or (y) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on a national stock exchange on the previous trading day prior to the date of grant of the award; or (y) if the Company’s common stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on a national stock exchange, the FMV shall be a price determined by the administrator of the First A&R Plan in good faith using any reasonable method of valuation.
 
On October 22, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Plan again (as amended and restated, the “Second A&R Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on January 25, 2022. The Second A&R Plan amends the Plan to (i) incorporate those changes previously included in the First A&R Plan and (ii) increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 2,000,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares.
 
S-8 Registration Statement
 
On November 6, 2020, the Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement relating to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share issuable to the employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company under the Logiq, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
Directors Compensation
  
 
Mr. Suen, Mr. Choong and Mr. MacNeil, received no compensation for their services as a director of the Company. The compensation received by Mr. Suen, Mr. Choong, and Mr. MacNeil as an officer are presented in “Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table.”
 
 
45
 
 
The following table sets forth information for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, regarding the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our non-management directors who served on our Board during 2023 and 2022. It is estimated that the compensation awarded to non-management directors in 2023 will be substantially similar to what was paid in 2022.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our shares of common stock beneficially owned as of April 10, 2023, for (i) each stockholder known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each Named Executive Officer and director, and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. A person is considered to beneficially own any shares: (a) over which such person, directly or indirectly, exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or (b) of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days after such date upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or convertible securities. Unless otherwise indicated, voting and investment power relating to the shares shown in the table for our directors and executive officers is exercised solely by the beneficial owner or shared by the owner and the owner’s spouse or children.
 
For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after April 10, 2019. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock held by each person or group of persons, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days after April 10, 2019 is deemed to be outstanding, but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Practice
 
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the preapproval of all audit and non-audit services to be rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policies and procedures, the Audit Committee generally preapproves specified services in defined categories up to specified amounts. Preapproval may also be given as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on a case-by-case basis for specific tasks before engagement. The Audit Committee has delegated the preapproval of services to the chairman of the Audit Committee who is required to report each preapproval to the full Audit Committee no later than its next meeting.
 
The Audit Committee has considered and determined that the provision of the non-audit services described is compatible with maintaining the independence of our registered public accounting firm.
