Safe and Green Development Corporation
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

 

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

1. Description of Business

   

Safe and Green Development Corporation (the “Company” or “SG DevCo”), previously known as SGB Development Corp., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on February 17, 2021. The Company was formed in 2021 for the purposes of real property development using purpose-built, prefabricated modules built from both wood and steel. The Company’s current business focus is primarily on the   direct acquisition and indirect investment in properties nationally that will be further developed in the future into green single or multi-family projects. Additionally, a majority owned subsidiary of SG DevCo, Majestic World Holdings LLC, is a prop-tech company that has created an AI powered real estate marketplace. It aims to decentralize the real estate marketplace, creating an all-in-one solution that brings banks, institutions, home builders, clients, agents, vendors, gig workers, and insurers into a seamlessly integrated and structured AI-driven environment. MyVONIA Innovations LLC, a wholly own subsidiary, is the owner of MyVONIA which is an AI-powered personal assistant designed to help simplify daily tasks and improve productivity for individuals and businesses. MyVONIA aims to assist with managing both personal and professional tasks.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company began operations during 2021 and has incurred net losses since inception and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Prior to becoming a public company, the Company’s operations had primarily been funded through advances from Safe & Green Holdings Corp., the Company’s then parent company (“Parent”) and the Company had been largely dependent upon Parent for funding. The Company has also funded its operations through bridge note financing, project level financing, and the issuance of its equity and debt securities. The above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has initiated strategic monetization of properties, which may yield additional financing proceeds to fund operations, however there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its objectives.

 

Separation and Distribution

 

In December 2022, Parent and then owner of 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding securities, announced its plan to separate the Company and Parent into two separate publicly traded companies (the “Separation”). To implement the Separation, on September 27, 2023 (the “Distribution Date”), Parent, effected a pro rata distribution to Parent’s stockholders of approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Distribution”). In connection with the Distribution, each Parent stockholder received 0.930886 shares of the Company’s common stock for every five (5) shares of Parent common stock held as of the close of business on September 8, 2023, the record date for the Distribution, as well as a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares. Immediately after the Distribution, the Company was no longer a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and Parent held approximately 70% of the Company’s issued and outstanding securities. On September 28, 2023, the Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SGD.”

 

In connection with the Separation and Distribution, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement and several other agreements with Parent. These agreements provide for the allocation between Parent and the Company of the assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including, among others, investments, property, employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) of Parent and its subsidiaries attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation and govern the relationship between the Company and Parent subsequent to the completion of the Separation. In addition to the separation and distribution agreement, the other principal agreements entered into with Parent included a tax matters agreement and a shared services agreement.

 

Basis of presentation and principals of consolidation — The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, LV Peninsula Holding, LLC (“LV Holding”) and MyVonia Innovations LLC (“MyVonia LLC”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements — New accounting pronouncements implemented by the Company are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.

 

Accounting estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue recognition – The Company determines, at contract inception, whether it will transfer control of a promised good or service over time or at a point in time, regardless of the length of contract or other factors. The recognition of revenue aligns with the timing of when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps in accordance with its revenue policy: 

 

  (1) Identify the contract with a customer

 

  (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

  (3) Determine the transaction price

 

  (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

 

  (5) Recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied

 

The revenue the Company has generated to date resulted from commissions related to residential real estate purchases and sales transactions. For this revenue, the Company applies recognition of revenue when the customer obtains control over such service, which is at a point in time.

 

Investment Entities — On May 31, 2021, the Company agreed to contribute $600,000 to acquire a 50% membership interest in Norman Berry II Owner LLC (“Norman Berry”). The Company contributed $350,329 and $114,433 of the initial $600,000 in the second quarter and third quarter of 2021 respectively, with the remaining $135,183 funded in the fourth quarter of 2021. The purpose of Norman Berry is to develop and provide affordable housing in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of Norman Berry and thus does not consolidate the activities in its financial statements. The Company used the equity method to report the activities as an investment in its financial statements.

 

On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into an operating agreement with Jacoby Development for a 10% non-dilutable equity interest for JDI-Cumberland Inlet, LLC (“Cumberland”). The Company contributed $3,000,000 for its 10% equity interest. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company contributed an additional $25,000. The purpose of Cumberland is to develop a waterfront parcel in a mixed-use destination community. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of Cumberland and thus does not consolidate the activities in its financial statements. The Company uses the equity method to report the activities as an investment in its financial statements.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Norman Berry and Cumberland did not have any material earnings   or losses as the investments are in development. In addition, management believes there was no impairment as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

 

Cash and cash equivalents — The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less upon acquisition. The Company has minimal cash and cash equivalents on hand as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Property, plant and equipment — Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of each asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.

 

On May 10, 2021 the Company acquired a 50+ acre Lake Travis project site in Lago Vista, Texas (“Lago Vista”) for $3,576,130, which is recorded in assets held for sale on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

During February 2022 and September 2022, the Company acquired properties in Oklahoma and Georgia for $893,785 (including additions) and $296,870, respectively, which is recorded as land on the accompanying balance sheets.

Fair value measurements — Financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The short-term note payable is carried at cost which approximates fair value due to corresponding market rates.

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.
     
  Level 3 Inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

 

Transfer into and transfers out of the hierarchy levels are recognized as if they had taken place at the end of the reporting period.

 

Income taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from the differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted.

 

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the liabilities are no longer determined to be necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

 

Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, which requires recognition and measurement of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date control is obtained. The Company determines the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon its best estimates of the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Subsequent adjustments to fair value of any contingent consideration are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Costs that the Company incurs to complete the business combination are charged to general and administrative expenses as they are incurred.

 

For acquisitions of assets that do not constitute a business, any assets and liabilities acquired are recognized at their cost based upon their relative fair value of all asset and liabilities acquired.

 

Concentrations of credit risk — Financial instruments, that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such account and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on the account.

 

3. Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company’s property and equipment, net consisted of the following:  

 

    2024     2023  
Computer equipment and software   $ 4,807     $ 3,805  
Less: accumulated depreciation     (592 )     (236 )
Property, plant and equipment, net   $ 4,215     $ 3,569  

 

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $356,356.

Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

We caution that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate or prediction is realized.

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including:

  Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

  Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth or investments effectively.

 

  The long-term sustainability of our operations as well as future growth depends in part upon our ability to acquire land parcels suitable for residential projects at reasonable prices.

Overview  

 

We were formed in 2021 by Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (“SG Holdings”) for the purpose of real property development utilizing SG Holdings’ proprietary technologies and SG Holdings’ manufacturing facilities. Our current business focus is primarily on the direct acquisition and indirect investment in properties nationally that will be further developed in the future into green single or multi-family projects. To date, we have generated minimal revenue and our activities have consisted solely of the acquisition and entitlement of three properties, an investment in two entities that have acquired two properties to be further developed; however we have not yet commenced any development activities. We have since executed contracts to sell two properties for a profit. We have also acquired a majority interest in MWH described below.. We are focused on increasing our presence in markets with favorable job formation and a favorable demand/supply ratio for multifamily and / or single-family housing.. Our business model is flexible and we anticipate developing properties on our own and also through joint ventures in which we partner with third-party equity investors or other developers.

 

We intend to develop the properties that we own from the proceeds of sales of our securities and future financings, both at the corporate and project level, and/or sale proceeds from properties that are sold. However, our ability to develop any properties will be subject to our ability to raise capital either through the sale of equity or by incurring debt. We expect development activities to begin for our Magnolia Gardens Project Single Family project to be built on our McLean mixed use site in the fourth quarter of 2024.In addition, in January 2024, we announced that we would strategically look to monetize our real estate holdings throughout 2024 by identifying markets where our land may have increased in value, as demonstrated by third-party appraisals. In connection with this strategy, we have entered into agreements to sell our St. Mary’s site and our Lago Vista site as described in more detail below.

 

Additionally, we acquired a majority interest in Majestic World Holdings LLC (“MWH”) during the first quarter of 2024. MWH is a prop-tech company that has created an AI Software platform (the “AI Powered Platform”). The AI Powered Platform, which was launched in April 2024, aims to decentralize the real estate marketplace, creating an all-in-one solution that brings banks, institutions, home builders, clients, agents, vendors, gig workers, and insurers into a seamlessly integrated and structured AI-driven environment. In addition, we purchased all of the assets related to the A.I technology known as My Virtual Online Intelligent Assistant (“MyVONIA”). MyVONIA, an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, which utilizes machine learning and natural language processing algorithms to provide users with human-like conversational interactions, tailored to their specific needs.

 

During the second quarter of 2024, we have generated minimal revenue and our primary source of funding has been from sales of debt and equity described in more detail below.

The Second 2023 Debenture was sold to Peak One for a purchase price of $225,000, representing an original issue discount of ten percent (10%).

The 2023 Debentures mature twelve months from their respective date of issuance and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable on the maturity date. The 2023 Debentures are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, into such number of shares of our common stock equal to the principal amount of the 2023 Debentures plus all accrued and unpaid interest at a conversion price equal to $2.14 (the “2023 Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events and in the event we, at any time while the 2023 Debentures are outstanding, issue, sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of, or issue common stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person the right to acquire, shares of common stock, other than with respect to an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the 2023 Debentures), at an effective price per share that is lower than the then 2023 Conversion Price. In the event of any such anti-dilutive event, the 2023 Conversion Price will be reduced at the option of the holder to such lower effective price of the dilutive event, subject to a floor price of $0.39 per share.

 

The 2023 Debentures are redeemable by us at a redemption price equal to 110% of the sum of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest, if any.

The 2023 Debentures prohibit us from entering into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the 2023 Debentures) until the 2023 Debentures are paid in full.

Nasdaq Notice

 

On April 16, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) because our stockholders’ equity of $1,887,777 as of December 31, 2023, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days (until May 31, 2024), to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Rule (a “Compliance Plan”). We submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time. On July 22, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that based on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ended March 31, 2024, and our submission to the Staff, dated May 29, 2024, it determined that we were in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The letter further stated that if we fail to evidence compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) upon filing our next periodic report we may be subject to delisting. At that time, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification to us, upon which we may then appeal the staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

On April 25, 2024, we received written notice from Nasdaq notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (March 14, 2024 through April 24, 2024), our common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SGD.”

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 22, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved without further action if the closing bid price of our common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify us if it determines it is in compliance and the matter will be closed; however Nasdaq may require the closing bid price to equal or to exceed the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for more than 10 consecutive business days before determining that a company complies.

 

35


 

If, however, we do not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 22, 2024, we may be eligible for additional time to comply. In order to be eligible for such additional time, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and must notify Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.

 

We intend to actively monitor the bid price of our common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split to maintain our Nasdaq listing. At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 2, 2024, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and included in a public announcement, subject to the authority of the board of directors to abandon such amendment.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet the Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

The Joint Venturers shall make such other capital contributions required to enable the Joint Venture to carry out its purposes as set forth in the JV Agreement as the Joint Venturers may mutually agree upon. The Joint Venturers shall arrange for or provide any financing as may be required by the Joint Venture for carrying out the purposes of the Joint Venture.

 

The JV Agreement provides that we will have a 60% interest and Milk & Honey will have a 40% interest in the Joint Venture.

Pursuant to JV Agreement, in the event the Joint Venturers are divided on a material issue and cannot agree on the conduct of the business and affairs of the Joint Venture, a deadlock shall be deemed to have occurred in which event one Joint Venturer (the “Offeror”) may elect to purchase the Joint Venture interest of the other Joint Venturer (the “Offeree”) at a price calculated based on the Offeree’s percentage interest in a total purchase price for all of the assets of the Joint Venture. The JV Agreement provides that the Offeror must notify the Offeree in writing of the offer to purchase, state the total purchase price for all of the assets of the Joint Venture, and the price offered for the Offeree’s Joint Venture interest expressed as Offeree’s percentage interest in the Joint Venture assets multiplied by the total purchase price for all of the assets of the Joint Venture. The Offeree shall then have the right to buy the interest of the Offeror at the designated price and terms, or to sell the Offeree’s interest to the Offeror at the designated price and terms, whichever the Offeree may elect.

A 100% valuation allowance was provided against the deferred tax asset consisting of available net operating loss carry forwards and, accordingly, no income tax benefit was provided.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have generated limited revenue and have incurred significant net losses in each year since inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 we incurred a net loss of $5,036,463 and $4,200,541, respectively. We expect to incur increasing losses in the future when we commence development of our McLean Property.   We also expect to incur additional software development expenses related to the development of the Xene Platform and the MyVONIA Asset. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash of $24,238 and $3,236, respectively. Prior to us becoming a public company, our operations were primarily funded through advances from SG Holdings and we had been largely dependent upon SG Holdings for funding. We have recently funded our operations through bridge note financing, project level financing, and the issuance of our equity and debt securities. We intend to develop the properties that we own from the proceeds of sales of our securities to Arena Investors LP and future financings, both at the corporate and project level, and/or sale proceeds from properties that are sold. Additional financing will be required to continue operations, which may not be available at acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding when it becomes necessary, we would likely be forced to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our operating activities, including selling some of our properties. There is no guarantee we will be successful in raising capital outside of our current sources. In addition, we also have amounts owed to us from SG Holdings for advances we made to them in the amount of $1,720,844, the collectability of which is uncertain. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Financing Activities

 

SG Holdings. As of December 31, 2023, $1,720,844 is due from SG Holdings for advances made by us, which we have written off due to the financial position of SG Holdings.

The loan matures on December 1, 2024 and is secured by 1,999,999 of SG Holdings’ shares of our common stock, which were pledged pursuant to an escrow agreement with our transfer agent. The BCV Loan Agreement provides that the loan provided thereunder will bear interest at 14% per annum. The loan may be repaid by us at any anytime following the twelve-month anniversary of its issue date.

LV Holding’s obligations under the 2nd Lien Note have been guaranteed by the Company.

 

St. Mary’s Financing. In connection with the purchase of the St. Mary’s Site, we entered into a promissory note in the amount of $148,300. The secured note on the St. Mary’s Site had a maturity date of September 1, 2023, subject to our right to extend for 6 months upon payment of a fee equal to 1% of the principal balance of the note and provides for payments of interest only at a rate of nine and three quarters percent (9.75%) per annum. During August 2023, such note was extended for a one-year period. This note could be prepaid without penalty. In addition, at the time of payment in full of the note, we must pay the lender an amount equivalent to half of one percent (0.50%) of the original loan amount. To secure payment in full of the note, the note is secured by a security deed in the property with power of the lender to sell the property.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements to which we are a party.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that we believe to be relevant at the time the financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates, and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in “Note 2— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.

 

Investment Entities – On May 31, 2021, we agreed to contribute $600,000 to acquire a 50% membership interest in Norman Berry II Owner LLC (“Norman Berry”). We contributed $350,329 and $114,433 of the initial $600,000 in the second quarter and third quarter of 2021 respectively, with the remaining $135,183 funded in the fourth quarter of 2021. The purpose of Norman Berry is to develop and provide affordable housing in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of Norman Berry and thus will not consolidate the activities in our financial statements. We use the equity method to report the activities as an investment in our financial statements.

 

On June 24, 2021, we entered into an operating agreement with Jacoby Development for a 10% non-dilutable equity interest for JDI-Cumberland Inlet, LLC (“Cumberland”). We contributed $3,000,000 for our 10% equity interest. The purpose of Cumberland is to develop a waterfront parcel in a mixed-use destination community. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of Cumberland and thus will not consolidate the activities in our financial statements. We use the equity method to report the activities as an investment in our financial statements.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, Norman Berry and Cumberland did not have any material earnings or losses as the investments are in development. In addition, management believes there was no impairment as of June 30, 2024.

 

Property, plant and equipment – Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of each asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.

 

On May 10, 2021 we acquired a 50+ acre Lake Travis project site in Lago Vista, Texas (“Lago Vista”) for $3,576,130 which is recorded in assets held for sale on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

During February 2022 and September 2022, we acquired properties in Oklahoma and Georgia for $893,785 and $296,870, respectively, which is recorded as land on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Project Development Costs – Project development costs are stated at cost. At June 30, 2024 our project development costs are expenses incurred related to development costs on various projects that are capitalized during the period the project is under development.

 

Assets Held For Sale – During 2023, management implemented a plan to sell Lago Vista, which meets all of the criteria required to classify it as an Asset Held for Sale. Including the project development costs associated with Lago Vista of $824,231, the book value is now $4,400,361.

JOBS Act

 

The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which generally means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.  

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-1I). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13-15(e), were ineffective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, other than the material weakness discussed below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Material Weakness

 

During the course of the review of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our controls relating to the ineffective design of certain management review controls across a portion of the Company’s financial statements. Specifically, the controls related to the review of internal and externally prepared reports and analysis utilized in the financial reporting process of outside consultants that aid in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we will change certain control activities over financial reporting to include, but are not limited to utilization of an increased number of external consultants to assist in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as possible.

 

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION 

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The information included in “Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies” of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference into this Item.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors  

 

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from the risks previously reported in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2023 10-K. You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have generated limited revenue and have incurred significant net losses in each year since inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $5,036,463 as compared to a net loss of $787,920 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. We expect to incur increasing losses in the future when we commence development of our McLean Property. We also expect to incur additional software development expenses related to the development of the Xene Platform and the MyVONIA Asset We cannot offer any assurance as to our future financial results. Also, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings on terms acceptable to us, or at all, if, and when needed. In addition, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to collect amounts owed to us from SG Holdings and have taken a reserve against the $1,720,844 owed to us by SG Holdings, which is included in additional paid-in capital. Our inability to achieve profitability from our current operating plans or to raise capital to cover any potential shortfall would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations as they become due. If we are not able to secure additional funding, if, and when needed, we would be forced to curtail our operations or take other action in order to continue to operate. A significant portion of our funding was historically provided by SG Holdings. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to meet our obligations and are forced to curtail or cease our business operations, our stockholders could suffer a complete loss of any investment made in our securities.

 

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2024. In the future, we may identify additional material weaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting or adequate disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material errors in our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our period reporting obligations.

Management and our Audit Committee, in consultation with M&K CPAS PLLC (“M&K”), our independent registered public accounting firm, determined that there was a material weakness in our internal controls as of June 30, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, our management is required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. Annually, we perform activities that include reviewing, documenting and testing our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we will not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could result in significant expenses to remediate any internal control deficiencies and lead to a decline in our stock price.

We cannot provide assurance that we have identified all, or that we will not in the future have additional, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may be required to implement further remedial measures and to design enhanced processes and controls to address deficiencies. If we do not effectively remediate the material weaknesses identified by management and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to prepare reliable financial reports and comply with our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act on a timely basis. Any such delays in the preparation of financial reports and the filing of our periodic reports may result in a loss of public confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, the market value of our common stock and our access to capital markets.

 

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

 

Our shares of common stock are listed for trading on the Nasdaq. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq such as the corporate governance requirements, the stockholder’s equity requirement or the minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to de-list our common stock or warrants.

 

On April 16, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) because our stockholders’ equity of $1,887,777 as of December 31, 2023, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days (until May 31, 2024), to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Rule (a “Compliance Plan”). We submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time. On July 22, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that based on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ended March 31, 2024, and our submission to the Staff, dated May 29, 2024, it determined that we were in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The letter further stated that if we fail to evidence compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) upon filing our next periodic report we may be subject to delisting. At that time, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification to us, upon which we may then appeal the staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Our stockholder’s equity of $2,018,163 as reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000 and therefore we may be subject to a delisting notice which we plan to appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel; however there can be no assurance that the appeal with be successful.

On April 25, 2024, we received written notice from Nasdaq notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (March 14, 2024 through April 24, 2024), our common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SGD.”

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 22, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved without further action if the closing bid price of our common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify us if it determines it is in compliance and the matter will be closed; however Nasdaq may require the closing bid price to equal or to exceed the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for more than 10 consecutive business days before determining that a company complies.

 

If, however, we do not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 22, 2024, we may be eligible for additional time to comply. In order to be eligible for such additional time, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and must notify Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.

 

We intend to actively monitor the bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split to maintain its Nasdaq listing. At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 2, 2024, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and included in a public announcement, subject to the authority of the board of directors to abandon such amendment.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet Nasdaq continued listing requirements. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below The Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement or stockholder’s equity requirement prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, our common stock is a covered security. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were to be delisted from the Nasdaq, our common stock would cease to be recognized as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

 

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

We did not sell any equity securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act other than as previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC.

 

ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None. 

 

ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.  

  

ITEM 5. Other Information

 

During the second quarter of 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Registration S-K).

If the Indemnifying Party(ies) does not so elect within such period or fails to diligently contest such claim or Proceeding after such election, then the Indemnified Party(ies) shall be free to handle the prosecution or defense of any such claim or Proceeding at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and may contest the claim or Proceeding involving third parties to prosecute such claim or Proceeding to conclusion or settlement, and will notify the Indemnifying Party(ies) of the progress of any such claim or Proceeding, will permit the Indemnifying Party(ies), at its sole cost, to participate in such prosecution or defense and will provide the Indemnifying Party(ies) with reasonable access to all relevant information and documentation relating to the claim or Proceeding and the prosecution or defense thereof.

The Buyer’s rights to indemnification under this Section 5 shall not be in any manner limited by or to the foregoing right of set-off.
