SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS GROUP INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2023
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
Sustainable Projects Group Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on September 4, 2009 as Blue Spa Incorporated. On December 19, 2016, the Company amended its name from “Blue Spa Incorporated” to “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” On September 6, 2017, the Company obtained a majority vote from its shareholders to amend the Company’s name from “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” to “Sustainable Projects Group Inc.” to better reflect its business at the time. The name change was effective on October 20, 2017. Prior to the Exchange Transaction (as defined below), the Company was a multinational business development company that pursued investments and partnerships with companies across sustainable sectors. The Company also was involved in consulting services and collaborative partnerships.
On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Lithium Harvest ApS (“Lithium Harvest”), and all the shareholders of Lithium Harvest (the “Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of capital stock of Lithium Harvest in exchange for issuing to the Shareholders shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange Transaction”). In addition, the lender of a convertible note payable exercised its conversion feature and received shares of common stock in exchange for its debt and interest. The Exchange Transaction represents a change of control and was accounted for as a share reorganization with Lithium Harvest being the accounting acquirer and the Company being the accounting acquiree. As a result of the transaction, the number of shares of common stock outstanding was increased to .
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
2. Going Concern
These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or “GAAP,” which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has limited revenue and has sustained operating losses resulting in a deficit. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements, and the successful completion of the Company´s planned lithium project.
The
Company has accumulated a deficit of $

3. Summary of accounting policies
Basis of presentation
While the information presented is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in our opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cashflows for the interim period presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited December 31, 2022 year-end financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Reorganization
Although the Company was the legal acquirer of Lithium Harvest and the accounting acquiree, it was not a business at the time of the Exchange Transaction and, according to FASB ASC 805-10-15-4, the Exchange Transaction could not be accounted for as a reverse transaction and no goodwill could be recognized. Differences between the fair value of the investment and the identifiable net assets purchased are recorded as a charge to equity.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated unaudited interim financial statements include the accounts of the Sustainable Projects Group Inc., Lithium Harvest ApS and YER Brands Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation process.
Operating Leases – Right of Use Assets
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
The Company adopted the new standard. The Company has elected not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. There are no other material asset leases whether operating or finance except as indicated below.
Lithium Harvest has one office lease. The lease conveys no ownership at the end of the lease term and contains no purchase option nor any guarantee of residual value. The lease does not contain renewal periods at the end of the term. The leases are amortized straight line over the entire office lease agreement. The Company uses an annual interest rate of 10% or a rate of 0.83% per month. This operating lease is classified as a right-to-use asset under the new standard (ASU 206-02). The office lease commences April 1, 2023.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the December 31, 2022 annual report.
| Page F-7 |
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue 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. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance of its various businesses on a corporation-wide basis. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has three reportable segments: YER Brands, Sustainable Projects Group and Lithium Harvest. The segments are determined based on several factors including the nature of products and services, nature of production processes and delivery channels and consultancy services. Each operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its segment income. Segment income is defined as gross sales and miscellaneous income. At March 31, 2023, segment income and total assets were reported as follows:
| For the three | For the three | |||||||
| Months ended | Months ended | |||||||
March 31, 2023 | March 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Sales and miscellaneous income | ||||||||

| Total Sales | $ | $ | ||||||
| Total Assets | ||||||||
| Sustainable Projects Group | $ | $ | ||||||
| YER Brands | ||||||||
| Lithium Harvest | ||||||||
| Total Assets | $ | $ | ||||||
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted the ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company recognizes revenue when the Company transfers promised services to the customer. The performance obligation is the monthly services rendered. The Company has one main revenue source at the moment from Lithium Harvest, which is sub-leasing office space with and/or without furniture. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when services are provided. These revenues are billed in advance, arrears and/or are prepaid. The performance obligation is the monthly services rendered. Where there is a sub-leasing contract for office space with and/or without furniture, the Company bills monthly for its services as rendered. Where there is no contract, the revenue is recognized as provided.
The Company recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606 using the following 5 steps to identify revenues:
| · | identify the contract with a customer; |
| · | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| · | determine the transaction price; |
| · | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
| · | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
| Page F-8 |
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in the new revenue standard. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Advances from Client’s deposits are contract liabilities with customers that represent our obligation to either transfer goods or services in the future, or refund the amount received. Where possible, we obtain retainers to lessen our risk of non-payment by our customers. Advances from Client’s deposits are recognized as revenue as we meet specified performance obligations as detailed in the contract.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to GAAP applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncements not included above will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

7. Asset purchase and goodwill
On
May 8, 2020, the Sustainable Projects Group entered into a Letter of Intent with Sawyer & Samantha Sparks to purchase all marketing
rights, production know-how and limited existing inventory and equipment (the “Assets”) of Soy-yer Dough. Soy-yer Dough is
a gluten free modelling clay. As part of the agreement, Sustainable Projects Group issued common shares to Sawyer & Samantha
Sparks for meeting certain milestones which were at $ per share that was valued at $
Goodwill has been recorded on the Soy-yer Dough purchase as the amount of the investment was greater than the identifiable net assets purchased. The amount is not amortized but rather is tested for impairment at least annually. The identifiable assets and goodwill were calculated as follows:

On
February 14, 2023, the Company entered into the Agreement with Lithium Harvest and the Shareholders. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company

shares of common stock in exchange for its debt and interest. The Exchange Transaction represents a change of control and
was accounted for as a share reorganization with Lithium Harvest being the accounting acquirer and the Company being the accounting acquiree.
As a result of the transaction, the number of shares of common stock outstanding was increased to . The purchase price of
Lithium Harvest was valued at $

See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a more detailed discussion of uncertainties and risks that may have an impact on our future results.
Overview
Sustainable Projects Group Inc. (“SPGX,” “we,” “us,” our” or the “Company”) is a pure-play lithium company focused on supplying high performance lithium compounds to the fast-growing electric vehicle (“EV”) and broader battery markets. We have developed a proprietary technology to extract lithium from oilfield wastewater, which we believe will enable us to manufacture lithium compounds quickly, at an attractive cost, and with a minimal environmental footprint, which we expect to provide us with a competitive advantage over other lithium manufacturers. We believe this competitive advantage will enable us to capitalize on the acceleration of vehicle electrification and renewable energy adoption.
We plan to establish our first lithium carbonate manufacturing facility in 2023, which we anticipate will be capable of manufacturing up to 1,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (“LCE”), and we plan to begin manufacturing battery-grade lithium compounds at such facility in the first half of 2024.
On February 14, 2023, SPGX entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Lithium Harvest ApS, a Denmark private limited liability company (“Lithium Harvest”), and all of the shareholders of Lithium Harvest (the “Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Lithium Harvest in exchange for issuing to the Shareholders 206,667,233 shares of SPGX’s common stock (the “Exchange Transaction”). The Exchange Transaction closed on February 14, 2023.
Prior to the Exchange Transaction, SPGX was a business development company engaged in project development and holdings through value-based investments and collaborative partnerships, including a joint venture relationship with Hero Wellness Systems Inc. (“Hero Wellness”) and a purchase agreement with the inventors of the Soy-yer Dough product line. During September 2022, SPGX decided to exit the joint venture with Hero Wellness, and following the Exchange Transaction, SPGX has not made concrete plans on expansion of the Soy-yer Dough project.

Our Market
The market for battery grade lithium compounds is global, and we plan to sell our products worldwide. Based on estimates by Benchmark Minerals, lithium demand is forecasted to rise from 350,000 tons in 2020 to 2.5 million tons in 2030 and over 7 million tons in 2040, with a positive long-term price trend estimate of $15,000 per ton for battery-grade Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Hydroxide from 2025 to 2040. We believe that the continued electrification of transportation and transition to renewable energy sources will support continued significant growth in demand for lithium compounds over the next decade.
Raw Materials
Lithium
We produce our lithium products from oilfield wastewater. The annual global production of produced water is more than 250 million barrels per day. The U.S. production of produced water is more than 50 million barrels per day. Not all produced water is suitable for lithium production, but we estimate that the current U.S. production of produced water is sufficient to produce more than 500,000 metric tons of LCE annually.
We plan to enter into long-term supply agreements with oil and gas companies and service providers for the supply of produced water.
Water
All fresh water used in our production will be reused water from the production of oil and natural gas. We do not require any additional fresh water supplies.
Energy
Our production relies on a steady source of energy. We expect to use solar energy to the extent possible, but we will require an external supply of energy for our equipment.
Other raw materials
We use a range of raw materials and chemicals intermediates in our production processes. We generally expect to satisfy our requirements through spot purchases but likely will rely on medium-to-long-term agreements for the supply of certain raw materials.
Generally, we are not expecting supply chain constraints, but temporary shortages of certain raw materials may occur and cause temporary price increases. During periods of high demand, our raw materials are subject to significant price fluctuations that may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, there could be inflationary pressure on the costs of raw materials.
Competition
Our products will compete with other lithium compounds available in the market. Many of our competitors are large companies with long-term experience in the industry. The market for battery grade lithium compounds faces barriers to entry, including access to a stable and sufficient supply of lithium feedstock, the ability to produce a sufficient quality and quantity of lithium, technical know-how, and sufficient lead time to develop new lithium mining projects. We believe that our DLE technology enables us to produce high quality products quickly, at an attractive cost, and with a minimal environmental footprint, which we believe will differentiate us from our competitors. We intend to continue to invest in research and development to further improve our products, develop new products, and build market share.
| Page 4 |
Intellectual Property
Our success depends in part upon our ability to protect and use our DLE technology and the intellectual property rights related to our DLE technology. On December 15, 2022 we received an “Intention to Grant” notification from the Danish Patent and Trademark Office. We expect the Danish patent to be granted in the first quarter of 2023. Further, we have a pending application for a U.S. patent. If granted, these patents will expire in 2042.
Customers
We intend to sell our products to customers in the EV and broader battery markets, and plan to initially sell lithium locally to customers in the regions close to our manufacturing facilities.
Sales and Marketing
We intend to initially sell our products directly to customers in the U.S. and anticipate that we will subsequently sell our products to customers throughout North America, Asia and Europe.
Manufacturing
We intend to manufacture the lithium compounds we extract at our own facilities. We intend to construct our first commercial manufacturing facility in 2023.
Research and Development
We conduct research and development to optimize our DLE technology and our lithium products and to develop new product candidates and technologies.
Seasonality
Our operations are generally not impacted by seasonality. However, production is expected to be marginally lower during the summer due to the U.S. vacation season.
Government Controls and Regulations
We are subject to and will incur capital and operating costs to comply with U.S. federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing employee health and safety, the composition of our products, the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, and the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes.
In June 2016, modifications to the Toxic Substances Control Act in the United States were signed into law, requiring chemicals to be assessed against a risk-based safety standard and for the elimination of unreasonable risks identified during risk evaluation. Other initiatives in Asia and potentially in other regions will require toxicological testing and risk assessments of a wide variety of chemicals, including chemicals used or produced by us. These assessments may result in heightened concerns about the chemicals involved and additional requirements being placed on the production, handling, labeling or use of the subject chemicals. Such concerns and additional requirements could also increase the cost incurred by our customers to use our chemical products and otherwise limit the use of these products, which could lead to a decrease in demand for these products.
To the extent we manufacture or import products into the European Union (“EU”) or downstream users of our products are located in the EU, we may be subject to the European Community Regulation for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”). REACH imposes obligations on EU manufacturers and importers of chemicals and other products into the EU to compile and file comprehensive reports, including testing data, on each chemical substance, and perform chemical safety assessments. Currently, certain lithium products are undergoing a risk assessment review under REACH, which may eventually result in restrictions in the handling or use of lithium carbonate and other lithium products that we produce, which may increase our production costs. In addition, REACH regulations impose significant additional responsibilities and costs on chemical producers, importers, downstream users of chemical substances and preparations, and the entire supply chain. REACH, if applicable to the sale or manufacture of our products, may lead to increases in the costs of raw materials we may purchase and the products we may sell in the EU, which could increase the costs of our products and result in a decrease in their overall demand.
| Page 5 |
We use and generate hazardous substances and wastes in our operations and may become subject to claims and substantial liability for personal injury, property damage, wrongful death, loss of production, pollution and other environmental damages relating to the release of such substances into the environment. Depending on the frequency and severity of such incidents, it is possible that the Company’s revenues, operating costs, insurability and relationships with customers, employees and regulators could be impaired.
Human Capital Management
We had eight full-time employees as of March 1, 2023. None of our employees are represented by a labor organization or are a party to a collective bargaining arrangement. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Available Information
We file Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxy and information statements and other reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC are available to the public free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:
| ● | Management anticipates spending approximately $100,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $3,000,000 over the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of employee and rental expenses, professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to SPGX’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, development costs and general office expenses. | |
| ● | Management anticipates spending approximately $150,000 in complying with SPGX’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and completing and filing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC. |
| Page 7 |
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $60,701 and total liabilities of $1,139,008. During the 12 month period following the date of this report, management anticipates that the Company will not generate sufficient revenues to continue the development of current projects and projects in the pipeline. Accordingly, the Company will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be available for the Company to fund its plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of the Company’s common stock. However, the Company does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, the Company will not be able to develop its products and its business plan will fail. Even if the Company is successful in obtaining equity financing and developing its various business ventures, additional development of its website and marketing program will be required. If the Company does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2023
At March 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $60,701 and a working capital deficit of $973,152, compared to a cash balance of $Nil for the period ended December 31, 2022.
The notes to the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2022, discloses its uncertain ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated a deficit of $758,462 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of our business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company had $60,701 cash on hand as at March 31, 2022. Cashflow from operations was $77,181 for the three months period ended March 31, 2023. The Company will need to raise additional cash in order to fund ongoing operations over the next 12 months period. The Company may seek additional equity as necessary, and it expects to raise funds through private or public equity investments, in order to support existing operations and expand the range of its business. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.
Net Cash Flows Provided By (Used in) Operating Activities.
Net cash flows from operating activities during the three months period ended March 31, 2023 was net cash generated from operations of $77,181, which was primarily due to the financing expenses.
Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities.
The Company’s net cash flow used in investing activities during the three months period ended March 31, 2023 was $47,065, as compared to a net cash flow used by investing activities of $Nil for the same time period for the prior year fiscal period.
Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities.
The Company’s net cash flow from financing activities during the three months period ended March 31, 2023 was $37,299, as compared to $Nil. in the same period for the prior year fiscal period.
Operations Results for the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2022
Net Loss. During the three months period ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $3,847,112. The loss consisted generally of professional fees, employee expenses and other operating expenses such as administrative fees, management fees, financing fees and depreciation, compared to the same period for the prior fiscal period, when the Company had a net loss of $308. These costs during the three months period ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to financing expenses related to the merger with Lithium Harvest of $3,447,803.
| Page 8 |
Revenue. During the three months period ended March 31,2023, the Company had revenues of $Nil compared to $Nil from the same period in the prior year. The low level of levels of revenues is largely attributed to the Company still developing its first lithium production plant, which is anticipated to be operational in 2024.
Operating Expenses. The Company’s operating expenses during the three months period ended March 31, 2023 were $413,946 as compared to the same time period for the prior fiscal period of $175. The increase in operating expenses can be attributed to the management and professional fees, as well as rental expenses for our offices in Denmark.
Going Concern
We have limited operations and have sustained operating losses resulting in a deficit. In view of these matters, realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. We have accumulated a deficit of $758,462 since inception and have yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of our business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We had $60,701 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023. Cash from operations was $77,181 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. We will need to raise additional cash in order to fund ongoing operations over the next 12 months. We expect to finance our operations through public or private equity, debt or other available financing transactions. However, there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for us on acceptable terms, if at all.
Future Financings
Management anticipates raising financing through debt financing or the sale of The Company’s common stock in order to continue to fund its business operations. Issuances of additional common stock will result in dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of its common stock or arrange for debt or other financing to fund its planned activities.
Inflation
Management anticipates increased inflation in all areas of operations. High rates of inflation could impact the company’s development costs for its first production plant expected to be operational in 2024.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Critical Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of 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. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| Page 9 |
A critical accounting estimate is defined as a financial statement item where significant judgment is required in the selection of accounting policies and the determination of estimates. The accounting estimates that require more significant judgment are included below:
| 1. | Revenue recognition: We use judgment in determining the timing of revenue recognition and the amount of revenue to be recognized. This judgment is based on the timing of delivery, customer acceptance and other factors. Our revenue recognition policies are subject to periodic review and changes, and any changes could have a material impact on our financial statements. | |
| 2. | Allowance for doubtful accounts: We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical data, current economic conditions and other factors. The actual amount of uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates, and any significant changes could impact our financial statements. | |
| 3. | Inventory valuation: We estimate the value of inventory based on historical cost, estimated future demand and other factors. We regularly review our inventory and may write down the value if it is deemed to be obsolete or overvalued. Any significant changes to our inventory valuation could impact our financial statements. | |
| 4. | Depreciation and amortization: We estimate the useful lives of our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and the residual values used in our depreciation and amortization calculations. Our estimates are subject to change based on economic conditions, technological advancements and other factors, and any changes could have a material impact on our financial statements. | |
| 5. | Impairment of long-lived assets: We periodically review our long-lived assets for impairment and estimate the fair value of those assets. Our estimates are based on a variety of factors, including market conditions and future plans for the assets. If the estimated fair value of the assets is lower than the carrying value, we recognize an impairment charge. Any changes to our estimates could result in impairment charges and have a material impact on our financial statements. | |
| 6. | Exchange rates and translational risks: We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations and translational risks, particularly with respect to the Danish Krone. We estimate the impact of these fluctuations on our financial statements and make adjustments as necessary. The fluctuations in exchange rates could have a significant impact on the value of our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and on our results of operations when translating these amounts into our functional currency. Any material changes in exchange rates could have a significant impact on our financial statements. |

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2023.
Based on that evaluation, management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. In particular, the Company failed to complete and file its assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting in a timely manner for the period ended March 31, 2023. As a result, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective since then and, as a result, were not effective for the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of management’s last evaluation. However, as a result of management’s completion of the assessment of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, certain changes have been made, as discussed above, that will materially affect internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s controls and procedures will prevent all potential error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
