Revenues: Revenues increased by $36,136 from $215,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $252,114 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of an increase in revenues recognized from an expansion of national advertisers that increased marketing and networking efforts in the first half of the year. With the loss of a contract with the State of Rhode Island, revenues from advertising associated with bus shelters will be lower on a going forward basis until such time as new opportunities are either put into place or an expansion of other revenues are generated.
Cost of revenues: Cost of revenues decreased by $6,489 from $18,809 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $12,320 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased by $82,587 from $266,456 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $349,043 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to increases in wages and compensation, general and administrative and professional and other filing fees.
Other Income (Expenses), Net: Other expense, net increased by $8,179 from other expense, net of $18,392 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to other income, net of $26,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Net (Loss) Income From Continuing Operations: As a result of the above, the net income from continuing operations decreased by $1,005,054 from net income from continuing operations of $869,234 for the nine months ended September 30 2021 to net loss from continuing operations of $135,820 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result income tax benefit – continuing operations.
Continuing Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,941,894. We intend to seek additional financing for our working capital, in the form of equity or debt, to provide us with the necessary capital to accomplish our plan of operation. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated $118,791 of cash in operating activities driven by the company's operating loss, offset by noncash charge for accrued compensation, bad debt, and deprecation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used $530,885 cash in operating activities driven materially from the company's operating loss and reclassification of $272,304 of cash to discontinued operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based on such review and evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (c) that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of continuing weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting principally due to the following:
- The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are few employees and only two officers with management functions and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties. - An outside consultant assists in the preparation of the annual and quarterly financial statements and partners with the Company to ensure compliance with US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. - Outside counsel assists the Company and external attorneys to review and editing of the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements.
At such time as the Company raises additional working capital it plans to add staff, initiate training, add additional subject matter expertise in its finance area so that it may improve it processes, policies, procedures, and documentation of its internal control processes.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On May 28, 2019, William Singer, our former President and a former Director, filed suit against the Company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Street Smart Outdoor Corp., in Superior Court of New Jersey, Monmouth County, Law Division. Mr. Singer alleges breach of contract and has demanded $450,000.00 in lost wages. The Company has reached a settlement with Mr. Singer in the amount of $47,500 to be paid over a period of 3 months, which have been paid.
On November 14, 2019 suit was filed against the Company by shareholders James J. Loures, Jr. and Justin Derkack requesting that the Company reverse the underlying transactions related to the MedRecycler-RI, Inc. project such that 100% of the revenues and profits generated from the project remain with the Company. The matter has been settled.
On August 3, 2021, MedRecycler-RI, Inc. received a demand letter related to moneys owed for the property leased in West Warwick, Rhode Island. The Company is a guarantor to the lease. The Lease has since been discharged and terminated.
From time to time the Company is a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we have no reason to believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
There is no material bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries. However, given the Company's insolvency, there is a high risk that the Company may be forced to file for bankruptcy if the Company is unable to meet its capital requirements in 2022.
There are no administrative or judicial proceedings arising from any federal, state, or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primary for the purpose of protecting the environment.
