Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and related amendments filed with the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Furthermore, the Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Since the date of those audited consolidated financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as noted below.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The December 31, 2023, condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all GAAP disclosures. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Going Concern
These financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and as of June 30, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
Accounts receivable consist of amounts
due from veterinary customers. The Company records an allowance for current expected credit losses for estimated losses inherent in its
trade accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted for current
market conditions, the financial condition of the customer, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and
payment patterns. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The allowance for current
expected credit losses was $
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share of common shares includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible debt, share options and warrants, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common shares. For diluted net loss per share, the weighted-average number of common shares is the same for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same, as any additional share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. As the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share.

Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an Emerging Growth Company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

| 11. | Income Taxes |
The Company has incurred losses since inception, which have generated net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, tax benefit was reported with respect to these NOL carry-forwards in the accompanying financial statements because the Company believes the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets for the NOL for combined federal and state jurisdictions was considered more likely than not that it will not be realized and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a full valuation allowance. The Company’s effective tax rate is different than the federal statutory tax rate because the Company has established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred income tax asset.
| 12. | Leases |
Accounting for Leases as Lessee
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use assets (“ROU”), operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, non-current. Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. None of the leases entered into have an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which is recognized when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
The Company has operating leases for real estate. The Company has certain intercompany leases between its subsidiaries, and these transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation and are not reflected in the tables and information presented below.

Overview
Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc. is a corporation incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2020. On June 29, 2022, the Company converted into a Nevada corporation. The Company’s class A common shares are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol IVP. The Company owns and operates veterinary hospitals throughout the United States. The Company specializes in small animal general practice hospitals which serve all manner of companion pets, emphasizing canine and feline breeds. As the Company expands, additional modalities are expected to become a part of the offerings at its hospitals. With the acquisition of The Pony Express Veterinary Hospital, Inc. including equine care and emergency and specialty services and intends to continue to expand such services.
With fourteen clinics located in ten states as of the date of this filing, Inspire purchases existing hospitals which have the financial track record, marketplace advantages and future growth potential which make them worthy acquisition targets. Because the Company leverages a leadership and support structure which is distributed throughout the United States, acquisitions are not centralized to one geographic area. The Company operates it business as one operating and one reportable segment.
The Company is the managing member of IVP Practice Holdings Co., LLC (“Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, which is the managing member of IVP CO Holding, LLC (“CO Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP FL Holding Co., LLC (“FL Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP Texas Holding Company, LLC (“TX Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, KVC Holding Company, LLC (“KVC Holdco”), a Hawaii limited liability company, and IVP CA Holding Co., LLC (“CA Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP MD Holding Company, LLC (“MD Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP OH Holding (“OH Holdco”), Co, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, IVP IN Holding Co., LLC (“IN Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP MA Managing Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MA Holdco”), and IVP PA Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PA Holdco”). The Company through Holdco, operates and controls all business and affairs of CO Holdco, FL Holdco, TX Holdco, KVC Holdco, CA Holdco, MD Holdco. Holdco, OH Holdco, IN Holdco, MA Holdco and PA Holdco is used to acquire hospitals in various states and jurisdictions.

The Company is the managing member of IVP Real Estate Holding Co., LLC (“IVP RE”), a Delaware limited liability company, which is the managing member of IVP CO Properties, LLC (“CO RE”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP FL Properties, LLC (“FL RE”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP TX Properties, LLC (“TX RE”), a Delaware limited liability company, KVC Properties, LLC, (“KVC RE”), a Hawaii limited liability company, IVP CA Properties, LLC (“CA RE”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP MD Properties, LLC (“MD RE”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP OH Properties, LLC (“OH RE”), a Delaware limited liability company, IVP IN Properties, LLC (“IN RE”), a Delaware limited liability company, and IVP PA Properties, LLC (“PA RE”), a Delaware limited liability company.

IVP RE is used to acquire real property in various states and jurisdictions.
COVID-19
Impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a widespread health crisis that has already adversely affected the economies and financial markets of many countries around the world. The international response to the spread of COVID-19 has led to significant restrictions on travel; temporary business closures; quarantines; global stock market and financial market volatility; a general reduction in consumer activity; operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions; and declining trade and market sentiment; all of which have and could further affect the world economy.
The extent to which the novel coronavirus may impact the Company’s business, will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken by governments around the globe to contain and treat the disease. We are unable to predict with certainty the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, suppliers and vendors and its impact on the Company’s business.
Our Business Model
Services provided at owned hospitals include preventive care for companion animals consisting of annual health exams which include: parasite control; dental health; nutrition and body condition counseling; neurological examinations; radiology; bloodwork; skin and coat health and many breed specific preventive care services. Surgical offerings include all soft tissue procedures such as spays and neuters, mass removals, splenectomies and can also include gastropexies, orthopedic procedures and other types of surgical offerings based on a doctor’s training. In many locations additional means of care and alternative procedures are also offered such as acupuncture, chiropractic and various other health and wellness offerings.
With acquisitions serving as one key driver of growth, the Company has developed metrics and processes for assessing, valuing, acquiring and integrating new hospitals into its network. With a focus in its early years on general practice, small companion animal hospitals, the Company selects hospitals in markets with large addressable pet populations, but not necessarily in city/urban centers. The Company recently entered the equine care, or the care of horses, sector with the addition of the Pony Express Veterinary Hospital into the Company’s small-animal-only mix of locations.
Growth strategies and expansion plans call for the Company to enter emergency care and mixed animal (such as bovine and additional equine care) in future years of growth. Staffing, ownership transition plans, demographics, quality of medicine, financial performance and quality of exiting leadership are some of the many factors that are analyzed before a pending acquisition is offered a letter of intent. The Company uses a field support structure that is nationally distributed and therefore the targets for acquisition can be in most states within the United States, taking special care with more complex states which have very specific veterinary practice ownership and operations guidelines.
Risks to the ability to swiftly acquire and integrate new hospitals include: (i) national staffing shortages of veterinarians and technicians which pre-existed the current market conditions which make finding credentialed talent even more difficult; (ii) costs and time associated with finding suitable targets and performing due diligence; and (iii) difficulties in achieving growth targets post purchase which ensure hospitals grow revenue and earnings in the years post purchase.
Post purchase pressures include rising talent acquisition and staffing costs in addition to challenges in achieving productivity and average patient charges necessary to achieve growth and profitability.
29
Results of Operations
Acquisition and Growth Strategy
With an emphasis on general practice hospitals in its first seven to eight quarters, the Company expanded into purchase of mixed animal hospitals in late 2022, adding equine care to its mix. Further, in the second quarter of 2024 and beyond, the Company intends to continue to the due diligence toward acquisition toward strategically acquiring existing general practice, specialty hospitals and/or expand existing locations to include emergency care and more complex surgeries, holistic care and comprehensive diagnostics which allow it to offer more complex surgeries and internal medicine work ups.
During its third calendar year, the Company has plans to seek multi-unit practices with regional presence to facilitate growth for the Company and also to move more swiftly into being a prime provider in select markets. While purchases of individual clinics will remain a focus for the Company, these opportunities to acquire hospitals in clusters of 2 to 6 will significantly increase our pace of growth and provide numerous internal benefits such as internal case referrals and career pathing for clinicians and leadership.
We account for acquisitions under the acquisition method and are required to measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquiree at the fair values on the closing date. The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Below is a summary of the acquisitions that closed from the inception of the Company through June 30, 2024, and the related transaction price.

Revenue in General: The Company believes the breakdown of gross revenue into service revenue and product revenue categories produces meaningful measures to Company management and the Company’s investors in light of the Company’s objective to protect the service channel and derive the majority of its revenue from services and expertise which are not capable of disruption from other channels. To achieve this objective, the Company seeks to match the industry target metric of 70% to 80% of gross revenue being derived from services: examination fees, diagnostics fees, laboratory work, surgery and others veterinary services. The Company believes these service revenue sources require veterinary professionals to preside over care delivery and, unlike some veterinary care products, cannot be replaced or sold by other non-veterinary hospital channels such as retail (including over-the-counter and online). Accordingly, the Company views products such as parasite controls, veterinary nutrition products and additives as important, but the Company does not rely on product revenue to account for more than 20% to 30% of gross revenue. Medications and therapeutics which only a licensed veterinary doctor or licensed technician can administer, while still making up part of the 20% to 30% of gross revenue, are less easily diverted to non-veterinary hospital channels as they require licensed professionals to prescribe or utilize them.
The Company uses these percentages in concert with metrics such as Revenue Per Patient Per day (“RPP”) and Average Patient Charge (“APC”) to analyze the comprehensive nature of diagnostics and services provided by each veterinary hospital. Sometimes referred to “quality medicine” metrics within the veterinary service industry, the Company uses RPP and APC to determine how a doctor’s time is being utilized (inclusive of all diagnostics and therapies). RPP and APC metrics are consolidated into the presentation of average daily service revenue and average daily product revenue. The Company believes these analyses helps the Company ensure that its caseload is revenue positive to avoid clinicians spending time on patient work which underutilizes their time and erodes labor profitability. The Company also believes these metrics are useful to investors and potential investors to compare the Company’s service-to-product revenue mix against generally accepted industry targets and specific veterinary care service provider competitors.
The services revenue and product revenue metrics are measured in dollars as calculated by the practice management software we provide to each of our clinics to track medical notes, treatment plans, services and products prescribed and provided, as well as to manage invoicing related to all of the above. Reports are generated which allow Company management to view each of these as line-items as well as measure the ratio of service revenue versus product revenue within our revenue mix.
The Company believes the ratio metric is useful for the management and its investors for several reasons:
| ● | The Company and its medical leadership teach and enable its medical staff to provide comprehensive medical care which is appropriate for each animal patient. For example, charges to a client which skew too heavily toward products and do not include necessary services may be indicator that medical cases are not being fully diagnosed using an appropriate standard of available and appropriate diagnostics and care. This broad analysis can indicate more questions should be asked about how cases are managed by certain providers, particularly if patterns emerge; |
| ● | Comprehensive care for pets means physical exams, dental care, blood work and many other service related line-items. An overreliance on product revenue alone (which products may be available over-the-counter outside of the veterinary channel) leaves veterinary clinics susceptible to sales transfer to other channels. In addition, appropriate veterinary care (as defined by market practice and some state licensing boards) does not include prescribing products without the delivery of diagnostic and care services. |
| ● | Advancements in veterinary care within the last decade such as anesthetic protocols, pain management, fear free medicine and other services have shown great efficacy for the betterment of patients and their recovery from illness or surgeries. The absence of certain services and procedures within, for instance, a surgery package for a patient, would indicate an opportunity to improve outcomes for a patient and extend life expectancy. These are positive outcomes for clients and, therefore, of interest and value to the Company and our investors. |

Service Revenues: The Company recognizes service revenue from health exams, pet grooming, veterinary care, and certain other services performed at our animal hospitals or clinics and is recognized once the service is completed, as this is when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits of the services. Payment terms are at the point of sale but may also occur upon completion of the service. Service revenue increased $492,258 or 8%, to $6,765,837 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $6,273,579 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in revenue for five animal hospitals and clinics of $531,207 and one new animal hospital acquired in Q4 2023 resulting in $646,078 increase offset by the decrease of $685,027 by the remaining thirteen (13) animal hospitals and clinics already in operations.
Product Revenues: Product revenue is recognized when control passes, which occurs at a point in time when the customer completes a transaction at our animal hospitals or clinics and receives the product. Product revenue decreased $42,251, or 2%, to $2,456,111 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $2,498,362 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by a decrease in revenue for seven animal hospitals and clinics of $423,334 offset by one new animal hospital acquired in Q4 2023 resulting in $279,059 increase and the increase of $102,024 in the remaining thirteen (13) animal hospitals and clinics in operations. The overall decrease was a result of customers purchasing less products per visit.
Cost of service revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization): Cost of service revenue consists of cost directly related to the animal services provided at the Company’s veterinary clinics and animal hospitals, which primarily includes personnel-related compensation costs of the employees at the Company’s veterinary clinics or animal hospitals, laboratory costs, pet supply costs, third-party veterinarian contractors, office rent, utilities, supplies, and other cost arising as a result of the services being performed, excluding depreciation and amortization. Cost of service revenue increased $496,140, or 11%, to $5,137,887 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $4,641,747 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cost of service revenue sold excluding depreciation and amortization was driven primarily by acquisition of Valley Veterinary animal hospital and increase to payroll costs.
Cost of product revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization): Cost of product revenue consists of cost directly related to the product sales at the Company’s veterinary clinics and animal hospitals, which primarily includes personnel-related compensation costs of the employees at the Company’s veterinary clinics or animal hospitals, purchase price of the medication we dispense, and purchase price of product sold, excluding depreciation and amortization. Cost of product revenue increased $173,974, or 10%, to $1,952,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $1,778,130 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in was driven primarily by the acquisition of Valley Veterinary animal hospital, an increase to payroll costs and increase in product cost.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses include personnel-related compensation costs for corporate employees, such as management, accounting, legal, acquisition related and non-recurring expenses, insurance and other expenses used to operate the business. General and administrative expenses increased $1,404,617, or 38% to $5,092,077 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $3,687,460 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the expenses generated by the Company’s animal hospitals and clinics acquired, the IR agency contracts, marketing agreements and consulting contracts the Company entered into during the first quarter of 2024.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expenses mainly relate to the assets used in generating revenue. Depreciation and amortization increased $105,615, or 18%, to $708,123 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $602,508 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of depreciable or amortizable assets as part of the acquisitions of animal hospitals and clinics.
36
Other Expense: Other expense are composed primarily of interest expenses and small denomination bank fee charges. Other expense increased $723,269, or 87%, to $1,552,108 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $828,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the financing arrangements to fund working capital at a very high effective interest rate as compared to the Company’s term loans.
Net Loss: Net Loss increased $4,041,470, or 154%, to $6,808,213 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $2,766,743 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net loss is primarily attributable to the operating expenses associated with the Company’s animal hospitals and clinics, the cost associated with the public raise during the quarter, the IR Agency Consulting Agreement and other 3rd party consulting arrangements entered into to increase customer outreach and improve operations.

Service Revenues: The Company recognizes service revenue from health exams, pet grooming, veterinary care, and certain other services performed at our animal hospitals or clinics and is recognized once the service is completed, as this is when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits of the services. Payment terms are at the point of sale but may also occur upon completion of the service. Service revenue increased $19,544 or 1%, to $3,220,238 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $3,200,694 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in revenue for three animal hospitals and clinics of $191,913 and one new animal hospital acquired in Q4 2023 resulting in $361,523 increase offset by the decrease of $533,892 by the seven animal hospitals and clinics already in operations.
Product Revenues: Product revenue is recognized when control passes, which occurs at a point in time when the customer completes a transaction at our animal hospitals or clinics and receives the product. Product revenue decreased $118,590, or 9%, to $1,170,143 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $1,288,732 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by a decrease in revenue for nine animal hospitals and clinics of $299,492 offset by one new animal hospital acquired in Q4 2023 resulting in an increase of $116,792 and increase of $64,110 in the remaining four animal hospitals and clinics in operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of service revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization): Cost of service revenue consists of cost directly related to the animal services provided at the Company’s veterinary clinics and animal hospitals, which primarily includes personnel-related compensation costs of the employees at the Company’s veterinary clinics or animal hospitals, laboratory costs, pet supply costs, third-party veterinarian contractors, office rent, utilities, supplies, and other cost arising as a result of the services being performed, excluding depreciation and amortization. Cost of service revenue increased $94,896, or 4%, to $2,428,740 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $2,333,844 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cost of service revenue sold excluding depreciation and amortization was driven primarily by acquisition of Valley Veterinary animal hospital and increase to payroll costs.
Cost of product revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization): Cost of product revenue consists of cost directly related to the product sales at the Company’s veterinary clinics and animal hospitals, which primarily includes personnel-related compensation costs of the employees at the Company’s veterinary clinics or animal hospitals, purchase price of the medication we dispense, and purchase price of product sold, excluding depreciation and amortization. Cost of product revenue increased $37,267, or 4%, to $935,997 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $898,730 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in was driven primarily by the acquisition of Valley Veterinary animal hospital, an increase to payroll costs and increase in product cost.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses include personnel-related compensation costs for corporate employees, such as management, accounting, legal, acquisition related and non-recurring expenses, insurance and other expenses used to operate the business. General and administrative expenses increased $332,933, or 18% to $2,218,734 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $1,885,801 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the expenses generated by the Company’s animal hospitals and clinics acquired and the IR agency contracts and consulting contracts the Company entered into during the first quarter of 2024.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expenses mainly relate to the assets used in generating revenue. Depreciation and amortization increased $36,910, or 12%, to $340,926 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $304,016 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of depreciable or amortizable assets as part of the acquisitions of animal hospitals and clinics.
39
Other Expense: Other expense are composed primarily of interest expenses and small denomination bank fee charges. Other expense increased $697,992, or 237%, to $922,821 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $294,829 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the financing arrangements to fund working capital at a very high effective interest rate as compared to the Company’s term loans.
Net Loss: Net Loss increased $2,158,627, or 176%, to $3,386,421 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $1,227,794 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The net loss is primarily attributable to the operating expenses associated with the Company’s animal hospitals and clinics, the cost associated with the public raise during the quarter, the IR Agency Consulting Agreement and other 3rd party consulting arrangements entered into to increase customer outreach and improve operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our operations from a combination of:
| ● | issuances and sales of senior convertible notes; |
| ● | issuance of convertible debentures; |
| ● | borrowings under other debt consisting of: (i) a principal lending relationship with Farmers National Bank of Danville; (ii)a principal lending relationship with First Southern National Bank; (iii) short term financing arrangements under merchant cash advance agreement; |
| ● | common stock purchase agreement with Tumim Stone Capital LLC, |
| ● | proceeds from issuance of equity; and |
| ● | cash generated from operations. |
The Company has experienced operating losses since its inception and had a total accumulated deficit of $28,244,320 as of June 30, 2024. The Company expects to incur additional costs and require additional capital as the Company continues to acquire additional veterinary hospitals, clinics and practices. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 the Company’s cash used in operations was $3,019,312.
The Company’s primary short-term cash requirements are to fund working capital, lease obligations and short-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt. Working capital requirements can vary significantly from period to period, particularly as a result of additional business acquisitions. The Company’s medium-term to long-term cash requirements are to service and repay debt, to expand through acquisitions, and to invest in facilities and equipment for growth initiatives.
The Company’s ability to fund its cash needs will depend, in part, on its ability to generate cash in the future, which depends on future financial results. The Company’s future results are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors that may be outside of our control. The Company’s future access to, and the availability of credit on acceptable terms and conditions, is impacted by many factors, including capital market liquidity and overall economic conditions.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and as of June 30, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $28,244,320. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sustained a net loss of $3,386,421 and $6,808,213. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company will continue to seek to raise additional funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve months. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in achieving these objectives.
We cannot be sure that future funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Due to often volatile nature of the financial markets, equity and debt financing may be difficult to obtain.
We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of private or public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other marketing and distribution arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights or future revenue streams on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we raise additional capital through private or public equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
As of the date of this filing, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions associated with our debt agreements. The Company is not aware of any instances of breaches or non-compliance with its covenants and commitments under its debt agreements.
Master Lending and Credit Facility
On June 25, 2021, the Company entered into a master line of credit loan agreement (“MLOCA”) with Wealth South a division of Farmers National Bank of Danville, Kentucky (“FNBD”). The MLOCA provides for a $2,000,000 revolving secured credit facility (“Revolving Line”) to be drawn for the initial purchase of veterinary clinical practices (“Practices”) and a $8,000,000 closed end line of credit (“Closed End Line”) to be disbursed as individual loans (Term Loans) to paydown draws on the Revolving Line and to provide longer term financing of the purchase of Practices. Each draw on the Revolving Line shall be repaid with a Term Loan out of the Closed End Line within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the draw on the Revolving Line. Each draw on the Revolving Line and the Closed End Line shall not exceed eighty-five (85%) percent of the purchase price of the Practice. The Company shall contribute and maintain equity of a minimum of fifteen (15%) percent of the initial purchase price of a Practice as long as any draw on the Revolving Line or a Term Loan remains unpaid with FNBD. The Revolving Line has an interest rate equal to the New York Prime Rate plus 0.50% that shall never be less than 3.57%. Each Term Loan issued under the Closed End Line shall have a fixed interest rate of 3.98% for the first five years of the loan. Immediately following the fixed rate period, the rate of interest rate will equal to the New York Prime Rate plus 0.65% that shall never be less than 3.57%. Each Practice to be acquired must have a minimum projected debt-service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) of 1.0x, defined as earnings before interest depreciation and amortization (“EBIDA”)/Annual Debt Service Requirement. The MLOCA terminates and the Revolving Line matures on June 25, 2023.
Under the MLOCA the Term Loans to acquire a Practice shall not exceed 10 years. The first twelve months of the Term Loan may be interest only. Thereafter, the Loan will convert to an amortizing loan with monthly principal and interest payments. For Practice only Term Loans (“Practice Term Loans”), after the initial twelve-month interest only period, the balance will amortize over 9 years. For Loans made to purchase real property (“RE Term Loans”), after the initial twelve-month interest only period, the balance will amortize over a 19-year period.
41
There is no prepayment penalty on payments on the Revolving Line. The Term Loans are subject to a refinance fee of 2% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan if paid within two years of entering into the Term Loan and 1% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan if paid within three to five years of entering into the Term Loan. The refinance fee is due only if the Term Loan is paid off by refinancing. Borrowing under the MLOCA are guaranteed by Kimball Carr, CEO & President of the Company.
On August 18, 2022 the MLOCA was amended and restated to terminate the revolving feature on the Revolving Line and convert the line of credit to a closed end draw note (“Closed End Draw Note”) that mature on August 18, 2024. Each draw on the Closed End Draw Note shall not exceed eighty-five (85%) percent of the purchase price of the Practice. The Company shall contribute and maintain equity of a minimum of fifteen (15%) percent of the initial purchase price of a Practice as long as any draw on the Closed End Draw Note or a Term Loan remains unpaid with FNBD. The interest rate charge on all sums advance under the amended and restated MLOCA shall be 5.25% for the first five years of the loan. Immediately following the fixed rate period, the rate of interest will be equal to the New York Prime Rate plus 0.65% that shall never be less than 4.75%. Each Practice to be acquired must have a minimum projected DSCR of 1.0x, defined as EBIDA/Annual Debt Service Requirement. The MLOCA terminates and the Closed End Draw Note matures on August 18, 2024.

Bridge Note
In December 2021, the Company entered into two bridge loans in the aggregate amount of $2,500,000 with Target Capital 1, LLC and Dragon Dynamic Catalytic Bridge SAC Fund as short term secured convertible notes (“Bridge Note”). The Bridge Note is convertible into the Company’s common stock, at the time of a successful initial public offering (“IPO”) at the noteholder’s option, at a 35% discount to the IPO price. The Bridge Note has a face value of $2,500,000 with an original issue discount (“OID”) of 12% and has a maturity date of January 24, 2023. The OID of $300,000 is being amortized over the life of the loan. If the Company has not issued the Company’s common stock in an initial public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the listing of the common stock on a “national securities exchange” as defined in Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Qualified financing”) by January 24, 2023 the conversion price will be set at a 40% discount to the IPO price. The Bridge Note was funded in two installments of net proceeds of $1,100,000 in December 2021 and the second installment January 2022. The bridge loans had issuance costs of $70,500 for the first installment and $54,000 for the second installment that is amortized straight line over the life of the loan. The Company amortized $0 and $62,758 of issuance cost during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company amortized $0 and $62,758 of issuance cost during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
In conjunction with the Bridge Note the Company issued warrants on January 24, 2022 to Target Capital 1, LLC and Dragon Dynamic Catalytic Bridge SAC Fund (collectively the “Bridge Lenders”). The warrants entitled the Bridge Lenders to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock, at a purchase price equal to the per share price in an IPO. The quantity of the Company’s common stock of subject to purchase upon exercise of the warrants is equal to 50% of the face value of the Bridge Note, divided by the per-share price in the Qualified Financing, unless a Qualified Financing has not been completed by January 24, 2023 in which case the quantity of Class A common stock subject to purchase upon exercise of the warrants will be an amount equal to 75% of the face value of the Bridge Note divided by the per-share price in the Qualified Financing. If a Qualified Financing has not consummated or the Bridge Note has not been repaid in full on or before January 24, 2027, then the quantity of common stock subject to purchase upon exercise of the warrants will be an amount equal to 100% of the face value divided by the per-share price equal to the fair market value of one share of Class A common stock as mutually agreed by the Holder and the Company. The warrants are exercisable through the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The warrants may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time following a Qualified Financing if the Company’s common stock trade on a national securities exchange at a price equal to the purchase price of the Company’s common stock in the Qualified Financing multiplied by 2 for a period of ten consecutive trading days.
On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into an Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Note loan with Target Capital 1, LLC for $1,136,364. The note is issued at an original issue discount of 12% with an maturity date on the earlier of March 31, 2023 (“Initial Maturity Date”) or the Company’s sale of its common stock in an initial public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing of the common stock on a “national securities exchange” as defined in Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Qualified Financing” or the “Maturity Date”). If the Company has filed its Form S-1 Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date but the Qualified Financing has not closed by such date (“Automatic Extension”) then all principal and accrued interest under this Note shall become due and payable in cash on September 30, 2023 (the “Final Maturity Date”) or such earlier date as this note is required be repaid. The note bears an interest rate of 12% per annum by means of the original issue discount. Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Extension, this note shall commence to accrue interest at an interest rate of 12% percent per annum on the date of the commencement of the Automatic Extension until the note is converted or is paid in full. The Company may pay the full principal amount of this note, and all accrued but unpaid interest at any time prior to the Maturity Date without the prior written consent of the holder in the principal amount of $1,136,364, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by 120%. In addition, and to the extent the Company is required to pay this note in cash at the on or after the Initial Maturity Date due to, upon the closing date of a Qualified Financing, the Company shall pay to the holder $1,136,364, plus all accrued unpaid interest, multiplied by 120%. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the note), until the Event of Default is cured, or the note is repaid in full, Company will pay 20% of its total gross revenues (including that of all its subsidiaries) monthly, which shall be applied to payment of principal and interest under this this note. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be equal to the price paid by the public in the Company’s Qualified Financing multiplied by 0.65 (or 0.60, from and after any Automatic Extension).

In conjunction with the Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Note with Target Capital 1, LLC the company issued the holder 412 shares of Class A common stock and equity classified warrants that entitle the holder to purchase the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the per share price in an IPO. The quantity of the Company’s common stock of subject to purchase upon exercise of the warrants is equal to 50% of the face value of the Bridge Note, divided by the per-share price in the Qualified Financing, unless a Qualified Financing has not been completed by March 31, 2023 in which case the quantity of Class A common stock subject to purchase upon exercise of the warrants will be an amount equal to 75% of the face value of the Bridge Note divided by the per-share price in the Qualified Financing.
On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into an Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Note with 622 Capital LLC for $568,182. The note is issued at an original issue discount of 12% with an maturity date on the earlier of January 24, 2023 (the “622 Initial Maturity Date”) or the Company’s sale of its common stock in an initial public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing of the common stock on a “national securities exchange” as defined in Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Qualified Financing” or the “622 Maturity Date”). If the Company has filed its Form S-1 Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to the 622 Initial Maturity Date but the Qualified Financing has not closed by such date (“Automatic Extension”) then all principal and accrued interest under this note shall become due and payable in cash on July 24, 2023 (the “622 Final Maturity Date”) or such earlier date as this note is required be repaid. The note bears an interest rate of 12% per annum by means of the original issue discount. Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Extension, this note shall commence to accrue interest at an interest rate of 12% percent per annum on the date of the commencement of the Automatic Extension until the note is converted or is paid in full. The Company may pay the full principal amount of this note and all accrued but unpaid interest at any time prior to the 622 Maturity Date without the prior written consent of the holder in the principal amount of $568,182, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by 120%. In addition, and to the extent the Company is required to pay this note in cash at the on or after the 622 Initial Maturity Date due to, upon the closing date of Qualified Financing, the Company shall pay to the holder $568,182, plus all accrued unpaid interest, multiplied by 120%. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the note), until the Event of Default is cured or the note is repaid in full, Company will pay 20% of its total gross revenues (including that of all its subsidiaries) monthly, which shall be applied to payment of principal and interest under this this note. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be equal to the price paid by the public in the Company’s Qualified Financing multiplied by 0.65 (or 0.60, from and after any Automatic Extension).
In conjunction with the Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Note with 662 Capital LLC the company issued the holder equity classified warrants that entitle the holder to purchase the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the per share price in an IPO. The quantity of the Company’s common stock of subject to purchase upon exercise of the warrants is equal to 50% of the face value of the Bridge Note, divided by the per-share price in the Qualified Financing, unless a Qualified Financing has not been completed by March 31, 2023 in which case the quantity of Class A common stock subject to purchase upon exercise of the warrants will be an amount equal to 75% of the face value of the Bridge Note divided by the per-share price in the Qualified Financing.
The warrants were deemed legally detachable from the Bridge Note and were fair valued using the Black Scholes Method to determine the relative fair values of the Bridge Note and the detachable warrants. The significant inputs for the Black Scholes calculation included the exercise price and common share price of $0.44, volatility rate of 27% and risk-free rate of 1.53% with a 5 year term. The proceeds received for the Bridge Note were allocated to the detached warrants based on the relative fair values. Pursuant to ASC 470 the relative fair value of the warrants attributable to a discount on debt is $429,284; this is amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the loan.

The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature as of the date of the conversion of $1,569,395 based on the IPO price of $40 per share minus the principal and accrued interest of the Convertible Debenture balance converted into common stock. Four holders of the Convertible Debenture with an aggregate principal balance of $250,000 elected to be paid back in cash and one investor with a principal balance of $100,000 elected to be paid on February 28, 2024 including accrued interest through the date of payment at 6%.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 of our audited consolidated annual financial statements included in Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 8, 2024. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences and changes in the business environment. However, actual results may differ from estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management judgment. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described below.
Acquisitions
The Company enters into acquisitions primarily with existing veterinary hospitals throughout the United States. When we acquire a business or assets that are determined to meet the definition of a business, we allocate the purchase consideration paid to acquire the business to the assets and liabilities acquired based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. If during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date) we receive additional information that existed as of the acquisition date but at the time of the original allocation described above was unknown to us, we make the appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation in the reporting period that the amounts are determined.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to its net assets. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis or when an event occurs, or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or changes in circumstances that may trigger interim impairment reviews include significant changes in business climate, operating results, planned investments in the reporting unit, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, among other factors.
The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than it’s carrying amount, an impairment test is unnecessary. If an impairment test is necessary, the Company will estimate the fair value of its related reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is determined to be impaired, and the Company will proceed with recording an impairment charge equal to the excess of the carrying value over the related fair value.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of client list, trademark and non-compete intangibles that result from the acquisition of veterinary hospital or practices. Client list intangible represent the value of the long-term client relationship from the veterinary hospitals and practices. Trademark intangible assets represent the value associated with the brand names in place at the date of the acquisition. Non-compete intangible assets represent the value associated with non-compete agreements for former employees and owners in place at the date of the acquisition. The client lists and trademark are included in intangible asset reported in the balance sheet which are being amortized over a 5-year term based on the estimated economic useful life of the client list and trademark. The amortization of the intangible asset is computed using the straight-line method. The intangibles are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The Company uses the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”), a form of the income approach to determine the fair market value of the client list (customer relationship) intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisitions of veterinary hospitals or practices. The principle behind the MPEEM is that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible asset after deducting contributory asset charges (“CAC”).
50
The principle behind a contributory asset charge is that an intangible asset “rents” or “leases” from a hypothetical third party all the assets it requires to produce the cash flows resulting from its development, that each project rents only those assets it needs (including elements of goodwill) and not the ones that it does not, and that each project pays the owner of the assets a fair return on (and of, when appropriate) the fair value of the rented assets. Thus, any net cash flows remaining after such charges are attributable to the subject intangible asset being valued. The incremental after–tax cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset are then discounted to their present value. CACs generally reflect an estimate of the amount a typical market participant would have to pay to use these contributory assets to generate income with the intangible asset.
The most significant assumptions used in our application of the MPEEM and in the valuation analysis of acquired client lists are:
| — | A useful life of 15 years where after 10 years the remaining customer base results in small positive cash flows and no terminal value was calculated. |
| — | A discount rate of 19.6% was selected to calculate the present value of the prospective after–tax cash flows associated with the customer base and business development relationships. |
| — | We utilized an annual Company sales retention rate of 74.0% (Veterinary Services industry rate) for the Customer Base. |
| — | The contributory asset charges are based on returns (8.3% to 19.7%) for Net Working Capital (normalized); Fixed Assets; Assembled Workforce; Trade Name; and Non-Competes. |
As of June 30, 2024, our intangible assets and goodwill balances were as follows:
| June 30, | ||||
| 2024 | ||||
| Client List | $ | 2,071,000 | ||
| Noncompete Agreement | 398,300 | |||
| Trademark | 1,117,200 | |||
| Other Intangible Assets | 45,836 | |||
| Goodwill | 8,147,590 | |||
| Total | $ | 11,779,926 | ||
Our valuations of the intangible assets apart of our veterinary clinics and animal hospital acquisitions has a relatively small value allocated to the client list (customer relationship) due to our use of the Veterinary Services industry rate of 74% for the retention rate in our valuations. An increase in the rate by 6% to 80% in our valuation would result in an increase of approximately $1.2 million to the client list and a decrease of approximately $1.2 million to goodwill. We have elected to use the industry standard as our Company has minimal historical operations with less than 2 years of revenue producing activities through December 31, 2022. No acquisitions occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Management continues to evaluate the inputs used in our valuations based on quantitative and qualitative information available to the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates, regulatory, and inflation.
Interest Rate Risk
Our credit facilities bear interest at a floating rate, generally equal to the New York Prime Rate plus an applicable margin. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in in interest rates to the extent of our net borrowings under the Master Lending and Credit Facility, which were $18,814,203 as of June 30, 2024. The exposure to interest rate fluctuations for the Company is considered minimal. The Company’s term loans issued under the Master Lending and Credit Facility have a fixed interest rate for the initial five years followed by a variable interest rate. The Company has not used any financial instruments to hedge potential fluctuations in interest rates.
As interest rates rise, there is risk in the form of more expensive loans which would negatively impact the valuation and profitability of each hospital which is purchased.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all 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. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon 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. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Underwriter Warrants
In connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) of shares of Class A common stock, on August 30, 2023, the Company issued to Spartan Capital Securities, LLC warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5% of the shares of Class A common stock sold in the IPO (the “Underwriter Warrants”). The Underwriter Warrants are exercisable 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO at $5.50 per share (110% of the public offering price), but may not be transferred at any time prior to the date which is 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of securities in connection with this offering and expiring on a date which is three (3) years from the commencement of sales of the public offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110€(1)(A). The Underwriter Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e). Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (or its respective permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)(2)(B)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Underwriter Warrants or the securities underlying such warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days following the date of commencement of sales pursuant to the offering. In addition, the Underwriter Warrants provide for “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the shares underlying such warrants, exercisable for a period of seven (7) years from the effective date of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D). The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the Underwriter Warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders thereof. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the exercise price of the Underwriter Warrants or the underlying shares of such warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Class A common stock at a price below such warrants’ exercise price.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
None of the Company’s directors or officers
