Note 1: Background

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JanOne Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “JanOne”).

The Company hashad three operating segments – Biotechnology, Recycling, and Technology. In connection with the sale of GeoTraq, Inc. (“GeoTraq”) and the sale of ARCA Recycling, Inc. (“ARCA Recycling”) (see Note 18), the accounts for the Recycling and Technology segments have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (see Note 3).

Biotechnology

During September 2019, JanOne, through its biotechnology segment, broadened its business perspectives to become a pharmaceutical company focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive pain-relieving properties. Effective December 28, 2022, the Company acquired Soin Therapeutics LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“STLLC”), and its product, a patent-pending, novel formulation of low-dose naltrexone, (“JAN123”). The product is being developed for the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), an indication that causes severe, chronic pain generally affecting the arms or legs. At present, there are no truly effective treatments for CRPS. Because of the relatively small number of patients afflicted with CRPS, the FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation for any product approved for treatment of CRPS. This designation will provide the Company with tax credits for its clinical trials, exemption of user fees, and the potential of seven years of market exclusivity following approval. In addition, development of orphan drugs currently also involves smaller trials and quicker times to approval, given the limited number of patients available to study. However, there can be no assurance that the product will receive FDA approval or that it will result in material sales.

Recycling

ARCA Recycling Inc. (“ARCA Recycling”) iswas the Company’s Recycling segment and provides turnkey recycling services for electric utility energy efficiency programs in the United States. ARCA Canada Inc. (“ARCA Canada”) provides turnkey recycling services for electric utility energy efficiency programs in Canada. Customer Connexx, LLC (“Connexx”) provides call center services for ARCA Recycling and ARCA Canada. On February 19, 2021,March 9, 2023, retroactive to March 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Asseta Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with (i) ARCA Affiliated HoldingsVM7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (ii)under which the Buyer agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of (a) ARCA ServicesRecycling, Inc., a DelawareCalifornia corporation, (b) Customer Connexx LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and (iii) Connexx Services Inc,(c) ARCA Canada Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively,organized under the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Buyers agreed to acquire substantially alllaws of the assets,Ontario, Canada (“ARCA Canada”; and, assume certain liabilities, oftogether with ARCA Recycling and Connexx, (the “Disposition Transaction”the “Subsidiaries”). The principal of the BuyersBuyer is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. On November 14, 2021,The sale of all of the parties entered into an amendmentoutstanding equity interests of the Subsidiaries to the Buyer under the Purchase Agreement which provided forwas consummated simultaneously with the immediate terminationexecution of the transactions proposed byPurchase Agreement (see Note 17). The Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement and for an amendmentthe Disposition Transaction. In connection with the disposition of ARCA Recycling, accounts for the Buyers to pay to us a “break fee.” The break fee was amended to an aggregate of $100,000, payableRecycling segment have been presented as discontinued operations in two $50,000 installments: (i) the first of which is due to be paid on or around August 12, 2022 (the one-year anniversary of the Recycling Sale Agreement and which at the time of filing has not yet been paid) and (ii) the second of which is due to be paid not later than the last day of our next fiscal year, which is December 31, 2022. However, if, prior to the date on which either installment of the amended break fee is payable, we sell ARCA Recycling, ARCA Canada, and Connexx to an otherwise unaffiliated third party for an aggregate amount less than $accompanying consolidated financial statements (see Note 3).

25 million, then the Buyers will be relieved of their obligation to pay to us any not-yet-then-due installment of the break fee. Additionally, if, prior to the date on which the second installment of the amended break fee is payable, we have not sold ARCA Recycling, ARCA Canada, and Connexx to any third party, then the Buyers will be relieved of their obligation to pay to us the second installment of the break fee. Finally, if, prior to a date on which either installment of the amended break fee is due, we sell ARCA Recycling, ARCA Canada, and Connexx to the Buyers, then, the purchase price therefore will be reduced by an amount equivalent to any break fee that had been previously paid to us by the Buyers and the Buyers shall also be relieved of their obligation to pay to us any not-yet-due installment of the break fee.Technology

GeoTraq Inc. (“GeoTraq”) was the Company’s Technology segment. The Company suspended all operations for GeoTraq during the year ended January 1, 2022. On May 24, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with SPYR Technologies Inc., pursuant to which the Company sold to SPYR substantially all the assets and none of the liabilities of its wholly-owned subsidiary GeoTraq assets (seeInc. The aggregate purchase price for the GeoTraq Assets was $13.5 million, payable in cash and shares of SPYR’s common stock. As of the closing of the transaction on May 24, 2022, SPYR issued to the Company 30,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.03 per share, and delivered a five-year Promissory Note 24)in the principal amount of $12.6 million. The Promissory Note bears simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum, provides quarterly interest payments due the first day of each calendar quarter, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Quarterly interest payments may be made in cash or in SPYR's restricted common stock. The Promissory Note matures on May 23, 2027.

The Company reports on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year. The Company’s 20212022 fiscal year (“2021”2022”) ended on January 1,December 31, 2022, and the current fiscal year (“2022”2023”) will end on December 31, 2022.30, 2023.

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, however, the issues described below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so.

7


The Company currently faces a challenging competitive environment and is focused on improving its overall profitability, which includes managing expenses. The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $2.1 million and a net loss of approximately $968,000640,000 for the 13 weeks ended OctoberApril 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively, and net income of approximately $9.8 million and a net loss of approximately $5.4 million for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively. In addition,2023. Additionally, as of OctoberApril 1, 2022,2023, the Company has total current assets of approximately $9.4637,000 million and total current liabilities of approximately $23.83.5 million resulting in a net negative working capital of approximately $14.52.8 million. Cash provided by operations from continuing operations was approximately $128,000. Additionally, stockholders' equity, as of April 1, 2023, is approximately $13.6 million.

The Company has availableintends to fund operations by using cash balanceson hand and monthly receipts in connection with the sale of its Subsidiaries and funds available under its credit facility with Gulf Coast Bank and Trustreceived from approved Employee Retention Credits (“Gulf Coast”ERC’s”) to provide sufficient liquidity to fund the entity’s operations and remodeling activities for at least the next twelve months.(see Note 18). The Company expectshas approximately $69,000 in debt recorded in associated with the financing of its insurance policies. The Company intends to generate cash from operations for the remainderraise funds to support future development of fiscal year 2022, given its current cost cutting measures.JAN 123 and JAN 101 either through capital raises or structured arrangements. However, the Companysuccess of such funding cannot be certain its efforts will suffice. assured.

The agreement with Gulf Coast allowsability of the Company to obtain lending in the amount of the lesser of $7.0 million or its calculated borrowing base (see Note 15 below). The Company expects that it will be able to utilize the available funds under the credit facility to provide liquidity and to pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to expand and grow the business to enhance shareholder value. Management also regularly monitors capital market conditions to ensure no other conditions or events exist that may materially affect the Company’s financial conditions and liquidity and the Company may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities, if necessary.

As of January 1, 2022, the Company had recorded a full impairment of the GeoTraq intangible asset. On May 24, 2022, the Company sold substantially all of the GeoTraq assets, as discussed in Note 24 below.

7


Based on the above, management has concluded that, as of October 1, 2022, the Company is not aware of, and did not identify, any other conditions or events that would cause the Company to not be able to continue business as a going concern foris dependent upon the next twelve months.success of future capital raises or structured settlements to fund the required testing to obtain FDA approval of JAN 123 and JAN 101, as well as to fund its day-to-day operations. Such approval is contingent on several factors and no assurance can be provided that approval will be obtained. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. While the Company will actively pursue these additional sources of financing, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured or FDA approvals will be obtained.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the Company’s results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1,December 31, 2022.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Statement Reclassification

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications. The prior year amounts have also been modified in these financial statements to properly report amounts under current operations and discontinued operations (see Note 3).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumption that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimated reserve for doubtful current and long-term trade and other receivables, the estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, estimated fair value and forfeiture rates for stock-based compensation, fair values in connection with the GeoTraq promissory note, Series S convertible preferred stock issued in the Soin merger, and the receivable in connection with the sale of ARCA, analysis of other intangibles and long-lived assets for impairment, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, lease terminations, and estimated useful lives for intangible assets and property and equipment.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, notes receivable, and obligations under accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term debt is calculated based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements, unless quoted market prices were available (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amounts of short-termlong-term debt at October 1, 2022 and January 1,December 31, 2022 approximate fair value. The Company has no long-term debt as of April 1, 2023 due to the disposition of ARCA Recycling (see Note 18).

Cash and Cash EquivalentsRecently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Fair value of cash equivalents approximates carrying value.

Trade Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company carries unsecured trade receivables at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts based on a monthly review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. The Company writes off trade receivables when deemed uncollectible. The Company records recoveries of trade receivables previously written off when payment is received. The Company considers a trade receivable to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces a new approach to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments based on expected losses instead of incurred losses. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. ASU No. 2016-13 is outstandingeffective for more than ninety days. The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables.smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has no allowance for doubtful accountsadopted this new accounting standard, however, as of October13 weeks ended April 1, 2022 or January 1, 2022.2023, there is no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

InventoriesNote 3: Discontinued Operations

Inventories, consisting primarilyAs of appliances, are stated atApril 1, 2023, the lowerCompany discontinued operations of cost, determined onits Recycling and Technology segments as follows:

On March 9, 2023, the Company executed a specific identification basis, or net realizable value. The Company provides estimated provisions forStock Purchase Agreement with VM7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, under which, as of March 1, 2023, the obsolescence of appliance inventories, including adjustmentBuyer agreed to market, based on various factors, including the age of such inventory and management’s assessmentacquire all of the need for such provisions. We look at historical inventory aging reportsoutstanding equity interests of (a) ARCA Recycling, Inc., a California corporation, (b) Customer Connexx LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and margin analyses in determining our provision estimate. A revised cost basis is used once(c) ARCA Canada Inc., a provision for obsolescence is recorded.corporation organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada (“ARCA Canada”; and, together with ARCA and Connexx, the “Subsidiaries”). The Company has no reserve for excess or obsolete inventory as of October 1, 2022 or January 1, 2022.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and additions and improvements that significantly extend the lives of assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful livesprincipal of the assets.Buyer is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. The useful lifesale of building and improvements is 3 to 30 years, transportation equipment is 3 to 15 years, machinery and equipment is 5 to 10 years, furnishings and fixtures is 3 to 5 years and office and computer equipment is 3 to 5 years.

The Company periodically reviews property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable or their depreciation or amortization periods should be accelerated. We assess recoverability based on several factors, including our intention with respect to maintaining our facilities and projected discounted cash flows from operations. An impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amountall of the assets exceeds their fair value, as approximated byoutstanding equity interests of the present value of their projected discounted cash flows.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Under ASC 350, intangible assets subjectSubsidiaries to amortization, shall be reviewed for impairment in accordancethe Buyer under the Purchase Agreement was consummated simultaneously with the Impairment or Disposalexecution of Long-Lived Assets in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipmentthe Purchase Agreement (see Note 18).

Under ASC 360, long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances (‘triggering event’) indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In making this determination, triggering events that were considered included:

A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group);
A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition;
A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group);
A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group); and,
A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The term more likely than not refers to a level of likelihood that is more than 50 percent.

If a triggering event has occurred, for purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset or assets shall be grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If after identifying a triggering event it is determined that the asset group’s carrying value may not be recoverable, a recoverability test is performed by forecasting the expected cash flows to be derived from the asset group for the remaining useful life of the asset group’s primary asset compared to its carrying value. The recoverability test relies upon the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest and taxes) which are derived from the Company’s specific use of those assets (not how a market participant would use those assets); and are based upon the existing service potential of the current assets (excluding any improvements that would materially enhance the assets). If the expected undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, the assets are considered recoverable.

The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationship intangibles, trade names, licenses for the use of internet domain names, Universal Resource Locators, or URL’s, software, patent USPTO reference No. 10,182,402, and historical know-how, designs and related manufacturing procedures. Upon acquisition, critical estimates are made in valuing acquired intangible assets, which include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from customer contracts, customer lists, and estimating cash flows from projects when completed; tradename and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time that customer relationships will continue; and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from the assumptions used in determining the fair values. All intangible assets are capitalized at their original cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows: domain name and marketing – 3 to 20 years; software – 3 to 5 years, technology intangibles – 7 years, customer relationships – 7 to 15 years.

Based on a qualitative evaluation, for the year ended January 1,On May 24, 2022, the Company recordedentered into an impairment charge for the full unamortized balance of its GeoTraq intangible, in the amount of $9.8 million. The Company has recorded no impairment charges during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022.

Revenue Recognition

Biotechnology Revenue

The Company is currently generating no revenue from its Biotechnology segment.

Recycling Revenue

The Company provides replacement appliances and provides appliance pickup and recycling services for consumers (“end users”) of public utilities, our customers. As part of the Company’s de-manufacturing and recycling process, it receives revenue from scrap dealers for refrigerant, steel, plastic, glass, copper and other residual items.

The Company accounts for revenue in accordanceAsset Purchase Agreement with Accounting Standards Codification 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Under the revenue standard, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

a.
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer,
b.
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract,
c.
Determination of the transaction price,
d.
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and
e.
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation(s) is satisfied.

As part of our assessment of each contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay, or credit risk. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products or services, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the price stated on the contract is typically fixed and represents the net considerationSPYR Technologies Inc., pursuant to which the Company expectssold to be entitled per order,SPYR substantially all the assets and therefore there is no variable consideration. Asnone of the Company’s standard payment terms are less than 90 days,liabilities of its wholly-owned subsidiary GeoTraq Inc. No GeoTraq assets or liabilities were included in discontinued operations at December 31, 2022.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 205-20, the Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product or service based on its relative standalone selling price. The product or service price, as specified on the contract, is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable source that depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances.

Replacement Product Revenue

The Company generates revenue by providing replacement appliances. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the replacement product is transferred to the end user and when performance obligations are satisfied, which typically occurs upon delivery from the Company’s center facility and installation at the end user’s home.

Recycling Services Revenue

The Company generates revenue by providing pickup and recycling services. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when a to-be recycled appliance has been picked up and transfer of ownership has occurred, thereby satisfying the performance obligation.

10


Byproduct Revenue

The Company generates other recycling byproduct revenue (the sale of copper, steel, plastic, and other recoverable non-refrigerant byproducts) as part of a de-manufacturing process. The Company recognizes byproduct revenue upon delivery and transfer of control of the byproduct to a third-party recycling customer having mutually agreed upon a price per pound, and that collection is reasonably assured. Transfer of control occurs at the time the customer assumes possession of the byproduct material. Revenue recognized is a function of byproduct weight, type and, in some cases, volume of the byproduct delivered multiplied by the market rate as quoted.

Contract Liability

Receivables are recognized in the period the Company ships the product or provides the service. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are based on contractual terms with each customer. When the Company receives consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, they are recorded as deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. The Company recognizes a contract liability as net sales once control of goods and/or services have been transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met, and any constraints have been resolved. The Company defers product costs until recognition of the related revenue occurs.

Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has concluded that no material costs have been incurred to obtain and fulfill our FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 606 contracts, meet the capitalization criteria, and as such, there are no material costs deferred and recognized as assets on the consolidated balance sheet at October 1, 2022 or January 1, 2022.

Other:

a.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities and that are related to sales of the Company’s products are excluded from revenues.
b.
Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in Selling, General and Administrative expense.
c.
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with original expected lengths of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for the services performed.

The majority of the Company’s revenue recognized is derived from contracts with customers.

Technology Revenue

The Company is currently generating no revenue from its Technology segment.

Shipping and Handling

The Company classifies shipping and handling charged to customers as revenues and classifies costs relating to shipping and handling as cost of revenues.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense is charged to operations as incurred. The Company had $0 and $6,000 in advertising expenses for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

11


Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred taxes if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income (loss).

Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in relation to an uncertain tax position. The Company uses a two-step process to evaluate tax positions. The first step requires an entity to determine whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50% chance) that the tax position will be sustained. The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion. The amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of issues raised by taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued and may materially impact the financial statements of the Company in future periods.

Lease Accounting

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases. This accounting standard requires all lessees to record the impact of leasing contracts on the balance sheet as a right to use asset and corresponding liability. This is measured by taking the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term and recording a right to use asset (“ROU”) and corresponding lease obligation for lease payments. Rent expense is realized on a straight-line basis and the lease obligation is amortized based on the effective interest method. The amounts recognized reflect the present value of remaining lease payments for all leases that have a lease term greater than 12 months. The discount rate used is an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement.

In considering the lease asset value, the Company considers fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company uses an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement in determining present value of lease payments.

The Company leases warehouse facilities and office space. These assets and properties are generally leased under noncancelable agreements that expire at various dates through 2025 with various renewal options for additional periods. The agreements, which have and continue to be classified as operating leases, generally provide for base rent and require us to pay all insurance, taxes and other maintenance costs. The Company’s operating leases are exclusively for building space in the different cities we have operations. The lease terms typically last from 2-3 years with some being longer or shorter depending on needs of the business and the lease partners. The Company has also engages in month-to-month leases for parking spaces that the Company has elected to expense as incurred. Our lease agreements do not include variable lease payments. The Company’s lessors offer options to extend lease terms as leases expire, and management evaluates current rental markets and other strategic factors in making the decision whether to renew. When leases are within six months of renewal, management will estimate probabilities of renewing for an additional term based on market and strategic factors, and if the probability is more likely than not that the lease will be renewed, the financials will assume the lease is renewed under the lease renewal option.

The Company's operating leases contain no residual value guarantees or contain restrictive covenants.

Lease amounts accounted for under ASC 842 were determined based on analysis of the lease contracts using lease payments and timing as documented in the contract. Non-lease contracts were also evaluated to determine if the contract terms provided an asset that was controlled by the Company, and provided it with substantially all relevant economic benefits. The Company is not a party to any contracts containing embedded leases. All lease contracts were reviewed, and distinctions made between lease and non-lease payments. Only payments related to the lease of the asset were included in lease payment calculations. Management uses an estimation of its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement over similar terms as the lease contracts in determining the present value of its lease obligations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company from time to time grants stock awards, restricted stock awards, and options to employees (including executives), non-employees, and members of the Board of Directors. Such awards are valued based on the grant date fair-value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures. The value of each award is recognized over the vesting period.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Under ASC 830, ifseparately reported the assets and liabilities of the Company are recordeddiscontinued operations in certain non-U.S. functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, they are translated at ratesconsolidated balance sheets. The assets and liabilities have been reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets as of exchange at year end. RevenueDecember 31, 2022, and expense items are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly into accumulated other comprehensive income.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Under ASC 260 basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period except that it does not include unvested restricted stock subject to cancellation. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, options, restricted sharesfollowing:

Historically tSegment Reportinghe Company operated its recycling business in fourteen states in the U.S. and in various provinces in Canada. From time to time, the Company is subject to sales and use tax audits that could result in additional taxes, penalties and interest owed to various taxing authorities.

,” requiresThe California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (formerly known as the California Board of Equalization) (“CDTFA”) conducted a sales and use tax examination covering ARCA Recycling’s California operations for years 2011, 2012, and 2013. The Company believed it was exempt from collecting sales taxes under service agreements with utility customers that included appliance replacement programs. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company received communication from the CDTFA indicating they were not in agreement with the Company’s interpretation of the “management approach” modellaw. As a result, the Company applied for segment reporting.and, as of February 9, 2015, received approval to participate in the CDTFA’s Managed Audit Program.

Note 6: NotesNote receivable

ApplianceSmart

On December 30, 2017, the Company sold its retail appliance segment, ApplianceSmart, Inc. (“ApplianceSmart”) to ApplianceSmart Holdings LLC (the “Purchaser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Ventures Incorporated, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser purchased from the Company all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of ApplianceSmart in exchange for $6.5 million. On April 25, 2018, the Purchaser delivered to the Company a promissory note (the “ApplianceSmart Note”) in the original principal amount of approximately $3.9 million.

On December 9, 2019, ApplianceSmart filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. Consequently, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.0 million for the amount owed by ApplianceSmart to the Company as of December 28, 2019.

On October 13, 2021, a hearing was held to consider approval of a disclosure statement filed by ApplianceSmart in conjunction with its bankruptcy proceedings. On December 14, 2021, a hearing was held to confirm ApplianceSmart’s plan for reorganization (the “Plan”). On January 10, 2022, ApplianceSmart paid $25,000 to JanOne in settlement of its debt, as provided for in the confirmed Plan, and the ApplianceSmartSPYR Note was reversed. A final decree was issued by the court on February 28, 2022, upon the full satisfaction of the Plan, at which time ApplianceSmart emerged from Chapter 11. The outstanding balance of the ApplianceSmart Note at October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022 was zero and approximately $3.0 million, respectively, exclusive of the impairment charge.

GeoTraq

On May 24, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with SPYR Technologies Inc. (“SPYR”), pursuant to which the Company sold to SPYR substantially all of the assets and none of the specified liabilities of GeoTraq, as discussed in Note 24 below.GeoTraq. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, SPYR delivered to the Company a five-year Promissory Note in the initial principal amount of $12.6 million. The Promissory Note bears simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum, provides quarterly interest payments due on the first day of each calendar quarter, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Interest payments may be remitted in either restricted shares of common stock of SPYR, or in cash. The Promissory Note matures on May 24, 2027.

As of OctoberApril 1, 2022, no2023, the Company has accrued receivables of approximately $249,000 in interest payments had been received in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement. SPYR is reviewing options to issue shares permitting it to remain in compliance with the Asset Purchase Agreement and not violate rules as set forth by the SEC. Any future shares of SPYR stock issuedincome related to the Company will be restricted.Promissory Note.

In connection with the asset sale, the Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assess the fair value of the consideration received. Based on the valuation, the Promissory Note (“Note”) was initially valued at approximately $11.3 million.million, but was revised to be approximately $9.5 million upon review of the original valuation by the Company. The amount of the revised discount amount, or approximately $1.33.2 million, has beenwas recorded as an offset to the principal amount of the Promissory Note, and will be accreted ratably to interest income over the term of the Note. No charges against income relating to the value of the Note have been recorded for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023. The Company will continue to review SPYR's financial trends going further to determine whether additional charges against income should occur.

The balance appearing on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheetsconsolidated balance sheets represents the principal balance of the Promissory Note, net of the discount balance. During the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and 39 weeks ended October 1,April 2, 2022, approximately $68,000201,000 and $89,0000.00, respectively, of the discount was recorded as interest income. As of OctoberApril 1, 2022,2023, the net principal balance oncarrying value of the Note was approximately $11.39.2 million.

VM7 Note

On March 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with VM7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, under which the Buyer agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of (a) ARCA Recycling, Inc., a California corporation, (b) Customer Connexx LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and (c) ARCA Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada (“ARCA Canada”; and, together with ARCA and Connexx, the “Subsidiaries”). The principal of the Buyer is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. The sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of the Subsidiaries to the Buyer under the Purchase Agreement was consummated simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement and the Disposition Transaction. The Stock Purchase Agreement is retroactive to March 1, 2023 (see Note 18).

The minimum consideration to be received by the Company from the Disposition Transaction, as discussed above, is $1.6 million per year for 15 years, or $24.0 million in the aggregate, plus cash of $3,000 paid at close. In connection with the Disposition Transaction, the Company used a discount rate of 20% when it valued the aggregate minimum consideration. Management determined that discount rate appropriately addresses any risk that the minimum payments would not be received. The valuation, factoring in that discount rate, yielded a present value of approximately $6.0 million, which, in addition to the $3,000 paid at close, comprises the approximately $6.0 million of net consideration. The amount of the revised discount amount, or approximately $18.0 million, was recorded as an offset to the principal amount of the Note, and will be accreted ratably to interest income over the term of the Note. As of April 1, 2023, the net carrying value of the note was approximately $6.1 million.

Note 13: Accrued Liability – California Sales Tax10: Income Taxes

The Company operates in fourteen states in the U.S. and in various provinces in Canada. From time to time, the Company is subject to sales and userecorded an income tax audits that could result in additional taxes, penalties and interest owed to various taxing authorities.

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (formerly known as the California Board of Equalization) (“CDTFA”) conducted a sales and use tax examination covering ARCA Recycling’s Californiabenefit from continuing operations for years 2011, 2012, and 2013. The Company believed it was exempt from collecting sales taxes under service agreements with utility customers that included appliance replacement programs. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company received communication from the CDTFA indicating they were not in agreement with the Company’s interpretation of the law. As a result, the Company applied for and, as of February 9, 2015, received approval to participate in the CDTFA’s Managed Audit Program. The period covered under this program included the years 2011, 2012, and 2013 and extended through the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

On April 13, 2017 the Company received the formal CDTFA assessment for sales tax for tax years 2011, 2012, and 2013 in the amount of approximately $4.1227,000 million plus applicable interest ofand $500,0000 related tofor the appliance replacement programs that the Company administered on behalf13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively, and an income tax expense from discontinued operations of its customers on which it did not assess, collect or remit sales tax. The Company has appealed this assessment to the CDTFA Appeals Bureau. The appeal remains in process. Interest continues to accrue until the matter is settled.

As of October 1, 2022, and January 1, 2022, the Company’s accrued liability for California sales tax was approximately $6.23.2 million and $6.03,000 millionfor the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively.

Note 14: Income Taxes

The Company’s overall effective tax rate was 0.2322.9% and 0.2% for the 3913 weeks ended OctoberApril 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, and a tax provision expense of approximately $23,000 was recorded against pre-provision income of approximately $9.8 million. The Company's overall effective tax rate was 4.5% for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2021, and it had a tax provision expense of approximately $236,000 against a pre-provision loss of approximately $5.2 million.respectively. The effective tax rates and related provisional tax amounts vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes foreign taxes, share-based compensation, valuation allowance, and certain non-deductible expenses.

The Company regularly evaluates both positive and negative evidence related to retaining a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The Company has concluded, based on the weight of evidence, that a valuation allowance should be maintained against deferred tax assets that are not expected to be utilized in the near future. The Company continues to recognize a full valuation allowance against its Canadian operations.

Gulf Coast Bank and Trust Company

On September 26, 2022, ARCA Recycling, Inc. entered into a series of agreements with Gulf Coast to refinance its existing credit facility with Prestige Capital. The principal limit of the refinanced facility is $7.0 million, and the borrowing base is the lesser of the principal limit or the sum of the following:

1.
85% of eligible receivables, plus
2.
Lesser of 50% of eligible unbilled receivables or $750,000, plus
3.
Lesser of 50% of eligible Whirlpool only net inventory or $1.0 million, plus
4.
Lesser of 80% of eligible capital expenditures (“CAPEX”) or $2.0 million, less
5.
Reserve of $400,000, less
6.
Additional reserves as deemed necessary by the Lender

Advances under the new credit facility will bear interest at the prime rate, as published daily in the Wall Street Journal, plus 3.25%, but at no time will be less than 8.75%. The refinancing of the Borrower’s existing credit facility improves the availability and liquidity of funds and provides flexibility to borrow against expanded asset categories.

The facility matures on September 25, 2024; and, the facility is automatically extended by succeeding periods of the same duration, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. If the agreement is terminated and the obligation is repaid before the current maturity date, for any reason, the Borrower shall be assessed an early termination fee. The early termination fee is determined by multiplying the minimum amount in effect at the time of termination by the number of calendar months between the termination date and the then-current maturity date. However, no early termination fee shall be assessed if the Borrower repays all obligations after the first anniversary of the agreement and before the then-current maturity date; and repays all obligations with funds borrowed from the Lender. Advances under the new credit facility are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Borrower. The Company is a guarantor of the facility. As of October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the outstanding balance due under this agreement was approximately $3.4 million and $0, respectively.

The biotechnology segment commenced operations in September 2019 and is focused on development of new and innovative solutions for ending the opioid epidemic ranging from digital technologies to educational advocacy. The recycling segment includesincluded all fees charged and costs incurred for collecting, recycling and installing appliances for utilities and other customers. The recycling segment also includesincluded byproduct revenue, which iswas primarily generated through the recycling of appliances. The technology segment designed wireless modules to connect devices to the Mobile Internet of Things (“IoT”) which containcontained location-based service (“LBS”) capabilities and can interface to external sensors to allow them to communicate both sensor status and position information. The nature of products, services and customers for each segment varies significantly. As such, the segments are managed separately. Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on sales and income from operations of each segment. Operating loss represents revenues less cost of revenues and operating expenses, including certain allocated selling, general and administrative costs. There are no intersegment sales or transfers. As discussed above (see Note 3), the recycling and technology are being presented as discontinued operations for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022.

The Promissory Note was valued at approximately $11.3 million, which was approximately $1.4 million less than the Note issued. Consequently, the Company recorded the shares of SPYR stock at fair market value of $946,000, and recorded a discount offsetting the Promissory Note in the amount of $1.359.8 million. The discount will be accreted ratably over the term of the Promissory Note, and recorded as interest income. Additionally, approximately $105,000 in GeoTraq inventory was transferred as part of the sale, and was, thus, derecognized.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Dollars stated in thousands, except per–share amounts.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘seeks,’’ ‘‘approximately,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘estimates’’ or ‘‘anticipates’’ or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. Any statements we make relating to our future operations, performance and results, and anticipated liquidity are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including, without limitation, in conjunction with the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q, are disclosed in “Item 1-Business, Item 1A – Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:

the continued effect on the U.S. economy of the coronavirus public health crisis;
our ability to secure additional financing to execute our biotechnology business plan;
our ability to obtain the marketing approval for JAN101, our initial drug product candidate;
the effect that the SEC Complainthas on the Company, if any;
the strength of energy conservation recycling programs;
our continued ability to purchase product from our suppliers at acceptable prices;
costs and expenses being realized at higher-than-expected levels;
our ability to secure an adequate supply of special-buy appliances for resale;
the ability to secure appliance recycling and replacement contracts with sponsors of energy efficiency programs;
the ability of customers to supply units under their recycling contracts with us;
the outcome of the sales and use tax examination in California; and
general economic conditions affecting consumer demand for appliances.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K (including the information presented therein under the caption Risk Factors), together with our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and other publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited.

Overview

We are focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive pain-relieving properties. In addition, through our now-sold subsidiaries ARCA Recycling, Connexx, and ARCA Canada, we arewere engaged in the business of recycling major household appliances in North America by providing turnkey appliance recycling and replacement services for utilities and other sponsors of energy efficiency programs. Also, through our now-sold GeoTraq Inc. subsidiary, we have beenwere engaged in the development, design of wireless transceiver modules with technology that provides LBS directly from global Mobile IoT networks. However, Our GeoTraq subsidiary has not generated any revenue to date, including in the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022. Consequently, during the year ended January 1, 2022, the Company took a full write-down of the unamortized portion of the GeoTraq intangible asset of approximately $9.8 million. Further, as discussed in Note 24 above, on May 24, 2022, we sold substantially all of the GeoTraq assets.

We operateDuring the periods disclosed in this Quarterly Report, we operated three reportable segments:

Biotechnology: Our biotechnology segment is focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive pain-relieving properties.
Recycling: Our recycling segment is a turnkey appliance recycling program. We receive fees charged for recycling, replacement and additional services for utility energy efficiency programs and have established 18 Regional Processing Centers (“RPCs”) for this segment throughout the United States and Canada. On March 9, 2023, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, retroactive to March 1, 2023, with VM7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, under which the Buyer agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of our recycling segment. Consequently, the results for this segment are reported as discontinued operations for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022.
Technology: We have suspended all operations for GeoTraq, and, on May 24, 2022, sold substantially all of its assets. The results for this segment are reported as discontinued operations for the GeoTraq assets.13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022.

Our revenues and profits are driven through our recycling centers, e-commerce, individual sales reps and our internet services for our recycling and technology segment.discontinued operations. We expect revenues and profits for our biotechnology segment to be driven by the development of pharmaceuticals that treat the root cause of pain but are non-opioid painkillers. We include corporateCorporate expenses within the Biotechnology segment. As discussed above, we sold our Technology segment, GeoTraq, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and our Recycling segment.segment in March 2023, and detail those results as discontinued operations below.

Segment Performance

We report our business in the following segments: Biotechnology, Recycling, and Technology. We identified these segments based on a combination of business type, customers serviced and how we divide management responsibility. Our revenues and profits are driven through our recycling centers, e-commerce, individual sales reps and our internet services for our recycling and technology segment. We expect revenues and profits for our biotechnology segment to be driven by the development of pharmaceuticals that treat the root cause of pain but are non-opioid painkillers. We include corporate expenses within the Recycling segment.

Operating loss by operating segment, is defined as loss before net interest expense, other income and expense, provision for income taxes ($000’s):

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. While we will actively pursue these additional sources of financing, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and consist primarily of demand deposits with commercial banks. On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into a credit facility with Gulf Coast, whereby the Company can obtain financing up to the lesser of $7.0 million or its calculated borrowing base. Gulf Coast has been granted a security interest in substantially all of ARCA Recycling’s assets. The current purchase and sale agreement with Gulf Coast automatically renews every two years unless terminated by the parties.

Future Sources of Cash; Phase 2b Trials, New Acquisitions, Products, and Services

We may require additional debt financing and/or capital to finance new acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness, conduct our Phase IIb clinical trials, or consummate other strategic investments in our business. AnyNo assurance can be given any financing obtained may not further dilute or otherwise impair the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk and Impact of Inflation

Interest Rate Risk. We do not believe there is any significant risk related to interest rate fluctuations on our short and long-term fixed rate debt.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We currently generate revenues in Canada. The reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is U.S. dollars. It is not possible to determine the exact impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes; however, the effect on reported revenue and net earnings can be estimated. We estimate that the overall strength of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar had an immaterial impact on the revenues and net income for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022. We do not currently hedge foreign currency fluctuations and do not intend to do so for the foreseeable future.

We do not hold any derivative financial instruments, nor do we hold any securities for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controlcontrol and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer (our CEO) and principal financial officer, (our CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of October 1, 2022, the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

ChangesBased upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of April 1, 2023, the period covered in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Therethis report, our disclosure controls and procedures were no changes innot effective because of the Company’smaterial weaknesses discussed below.

28


In light of the conclusion that our internal control overdisclosure controls are ineffective as of April 1, 2023, we have applied procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting duringin regard to this annual report. Accordingly, the quarter ended October 1, 2022, that have materially affected,Company believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this annual report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or are reasonably likely to materially affect,omit a material fact; and (ii) the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.statements, and other financial information included in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this annual report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of OctoberApril 1, 2022.2023. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in 2013 regarding Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of OctoberApril 1, 2022.2023.

36


Management noted material weaknesses in internal control when conducting their evaluation of internal control as of OctoberApril 1, 2022.2023. (1) Insufficient information technology general controls (“ITGC”) and segregation of duties. It was noted that people who were negotiating a contract, were also involved in approving invoices without proper oversight. Additional controls and procedures are necessary and are being implemented to have check and balance on significant transactions and governance with those charged with governance authority. (2) Inadequateinadequate control design or lack of sufficient controls over significant accounting processes. The cutoff and reconciliation procedures were not effective with certain accrued and deferred expenses.processes; (3) Insufficientinsufficient assessment of the impact of potentially significant transactions,transactions; and (4) Insufficientinsufficient processes and procedures related to proper recordkeeping of agreements and contracts. In addition, contract to invoice reconciliation was not effective with certain transportation service providers. As part of its remediation plan, processes and procedures have been implemented to help ensure accruals and invoices are reviewed for accuracy and properly recorded in the appropriate period.

These material weaknesses remained outstanding as of the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q10-K and management is currently working to remedy these outstanding material weaknesses.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, regardless of how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. These inherent limitations include the following: judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes, controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override, 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, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. 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, have been detected.

37Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

The information in response to this item is included in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. However, in light of the SEC Complaint, the Company provides the following additional risk factor,factors, which supplements the risk factors previously disclosed by the Company in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2020 10-K.

We are the subject of an SEC Complaint, which could divert management's focus, result in substantial litigation expenses and have an adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations or stock price.

We are currently subject to an SEC Complaint. Refer to Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding this specific matter. We may be subject to additional investigations, arbitration proceedings, audits, regulatory inquiries and similar actions, including matters related to intellectual property, employment, securities laws, disclosures, tax, accounting, class action and product liability, as well as regulatory and other claims related to our business and our industry, which we refer to collectively as legal proceedings. We cannot predict the outcome of any particular proceeding, or whether ongoing investigations, will be resolved favorably or ultimately result in charges or material damages, fines or other penalties, enforcement actions, bars against serving as an officer or director, or practicing before the SEC, or civil or criminal proceedings against us or members of our senior management.

Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be expensive and disruptive. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and we are unable to predict how long the legal proceedings to which we are currently subject will continue. An unfavorable outcome of any legal proceeding may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations or our stock price. Any proceeding could negatively impact our reputation among our stakeholders. Furthermore, publicity surrounding ongoing legal proceedings, even if resolved favorably for us, could result in additional legal proceedings against us, as well as damage our image.

We may not be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq GlobalCapital Market.

Our common stock is listed on theThe Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements including, without limitation, a requirement that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share. If we fail to continue to meet all applicable continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Global Market in the future and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, our ability to obtain financing to repay debt, and fund our operations.

On April 13, 2022, we received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that we did not presently comply with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) that requires a Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing. The notice did not have any immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and we had 45 calendar days from the date of the notice to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules. We submitted such a plan on May 31, 2022, wherein we discussed the GeoTraq sale (see Note 24) and how that placed the Company back into compliance with the Rule. As of the filing date, we have received no further communication on the matter.
