Management's discussion and analysis

As filed, 37,701 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as our audited financial statements and related notes included in our most recent Transition Report on Form 10-KT. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis here and throughout this report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the eight months ended December 31, 2023.

Business Overview

Originally, our operational model was asset-heavy and built on utilizing our proprietary AI-powered technology tools for the acquisition of real estate, converting them into short-term rentals, and enabling individual investors to acquire fractional interests in these real estate properties, allowing such investors to receive distributions based on the property’s performance as a short-term rental.

Due to current macroeconomic conditions, such as escalating interest rates, inflation, and elevated property prices, our real estate acquisition operations have been halted. Instead, our current focus will be directed towards the continuous enhancement and refinement of our AI technologies for commercial use to generate technology-derived revenue. For instance, in November 2023 we announced the commercial launch of GENA, an AI-powered technology that develops or enhances already existing personalized listing descriptions for residential properties to be listed in real estate online platforms, such as Airbnb, Inc.’s (Airbnb), Zillow and others. Since then, GENA’s subscription has been under limited availability to a select group of real estate professionals to ensure the platform’s scalability to a larger number of users. Although we have not yet generated revenue through GENA since its launch, we intend to continue commercializing our technologies to further add technology-derived revenue streams.

We may resume the complementary asset-heavy model from our rental business segment if the prevailing interest rates and other macroeconomic factors align more favorably with such business model. In the meantime, our growth strategy will encompass both organic and inorganic methods through commercialization of our AI technologies that are in varying stages of development and acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies. In particular, we intend to acquire companies that we believe will complement our business model and accelerate our proposition to expand our technology offerings to customers by offering IT services, staffing and accounting services and others.

Our reportable segments consist of (i) platform services and (ii) rental business. Our platform services segment offers and develops AI-based products and services to customers in the real estate industry. We are actively developing four operating technologies that are in varying stages of development: reAlpha BRAIN, reAlpha HUMINT, GENA, AIRE and reAlpha App. Our rental business segment, to the extent we resume operations, focuses on purchasing properties for syndication, which process is powered by our platform services technologies.

Platform Services

We seek to differentiate ourselves from competitors primarily through the integration of AI into our technologies for the real estate industry. We expect that our platform services segment will benefit from the current exponential growth of the AI industry, and we believe that we are well-positioned to take advantage of these current trends due to our early adoption of AI for the development of our technologies.

Our platform services segment technologies include: (i) reAlpha BRAIN, (ii) reAlpha HUMINT, (iii) GENA, (iv) AIRE, (v) reAlpha App and (vi) myAlphie.

myAlphie was sold on May 17, 2023, and it stopped contributing to our revenues as of such date, except for the revenue generated for the ongoing technical support we are providing to the buyer of myAlphie. Although we have not yet generated revenues from our developed technologies, we expect that once our technologies are fully operational and available for commercial use by customers, we will generate revenue through subscriptions, licensing fees, pay-per-use basis or other fee arrangements. To the extent we resume operations of our short-term rental operations, we expect to receive fee based revenues from conducting Syndications on the reAlpha App.

Rental Business

Our rental business segment operations are currently on hold due to current macroeconomic conditions, such as escalating interest rates, inflation, and elevated property prices. We anticipate resuming operations within this segment through the acquisition of properties and Syndications when the prevailing interest rates and other macroeconomic factors align more favorably with such business model.

To the extent we resume these operations, we plan to utilize our AI-powered technologies to analyze and acquire short-term rental properties that meet our internal investment criteria, or the “Investment Criteria,” which is analyzed and determined by our technologies, for syndication purposes, which short-term rental properties are referred to as “Target Properties.” Once the Target Properties are acquired, they are prepared for rent and listed on short-term rental sites, and, when warranted, disposed of for profits. We plan to make investing in our Target Properties available to investors via our subsidiary, Roost Enterprises, Inc. (“Rhove”). Rhove, along with Rhove Real Estate 1, LLC, reAlpha Acquisitions Churchill, LLC and future Syndication LLCs (the “Rhove SBU”), will create and manage limited liability companies (each, a “Syndication LLC”) to syndicate one or more of the Target Properties through exempt offerings. Once the Syndication LLCs are in place, Rhove will launch exempted offerings to sell membership interests in such properties to investors, through the purchase of membership interests in the Syndication LLCs, pursuant to Regulation A or Regulation D, each as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (each, a “Syndication”). We refer to such investors as “Syndicate Members.” To further facilitate the investment process in the Syndication LLCs, our reAlpha App will work parallel with the Syndication process to allow investors to purchase membership interests in those properties and become Syndicate Members. We intend to generate revenue through our property Syndications on the reAlpha App to the extent we resume these operations.

Syndicate Members differ significantly to the holders of our common stock. Rights among Syndicate Members may also vary among each other depending on the specific terms and conditions agreed to in the offering documents pursuant to which the holder becomes a Syndicate Member. By becoming a Syndicate Member, the holder will not acquire any rights to the Company’s common stock and, therefore, will not be entitled to vote, receive a dividend or exercise any other rights of a stockholder of the Company. Likewise, acquiring shares of our common stock will not provide the stockholders the status of Syndicate Member. Both Syndicate Members and our stockholders will receive the same quarterly financial metric information of our listed properties through the reAlpha App and the reAlpha website, which will also be available to the general public without a login, concurrently with our condensed consolidated quarterly results (as more fully described under “Segments – Platform Services” above), to the extent we resume these operations. Syndicate members that have access to the reAlpha App will only receive personalized financial information respective to their individual holdings in each of our Syndications. To date, we have not developed a secondary trading market for equity interests in our Syndication LLCs. While the potential establishment of such a market may be considered in the future, we have not made any decisions to develop a secondary trading market at this time.

In addition to managing the property operations, whether internally or through third-parties, we will also manage the financial performance of the asset, such as evaluating if the after-repair value or appreciated value of the property is higher than the purchase price, or whether the property is ready to generate the expected profitability. Once our business model is fully implemented, we expect that Syndicate Members will hold up to 100% ownership of the Syndication LLC, and we would generate revenue through fees from the reAlpha App.

Recent Developments

Sale of myAlphie LLC

Effective May 17, 2023, we entered into a Second Side Letter Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement between us and turnit Holdings, LLC (“Turnit”), dated as of December 31, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”) to finalize a transaction that was originally contemplated through the Purchase Agreement. Turnit is an indirect subsidiary of Crawford Hoying, which is owned and partially controlled by Brent Crawford, the former chairman of our board of directors. CH REAlpha Investments, LLC, and CH REAlpha Investments II, LLC are also managed by Mr. Crawford. The Purchase Agreement was previously amended by a First Side Letter Agreement dated March 11, 2023 (the “First Amendment”), which was entered into between the Turnit and us. The Purchase Agreement provided for Turnit’s acquisition of all the issued and outstanding membership interests of myAlphie, LLC (the “Subsidiary”). Since the sale of myAlphie, we have provided Turnit with technical support services related to myAlphie.

Prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the Downstream Merger, we held myAlphie LLC as a subsidiary, along with (a) all its technology and intellectual property, and (b) two on-demand promissory notes in the amounts of $975,000 and $4,875,000 payable to CH REAlpha Investments, LLC, and CH REAlpha Investments II, LLC, respectively (together, the “Promissory Notes”). Upon closing of the Purchase Agreement (a) the Seller sold all of its interests in myAlphie LLC, and (b) Turnit assumed our remaining liabilities and outstanding obligations under the Promissory Notes.

Launch of GENA

On March 21, 2024, we made GENA available to users. Initially announced on November 1, 2023, GENA, formerly known as “BnBGPT,” is an AI-powered technology designed to develop or enhance personalized listing descriptions for residential properties intended for online platforms such as Airbnb, Zillow, VRBO, and others. Previously utilized for internal purposes, GENA currently operates under a revenue model based on pay-per-use, with an initial free credit offered to new users.

Follow-On Offering

On November 21, 2023, we entered into a placement agency agreement with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell 1,600,000 units on a best-efforts basis at a price of $5.00 per unit for aggregate gross and net proceeds of $8.0 million and $7.16 million, respectively. Each unit was comprised of one share and one and a half warrant to purchase one and a half share of common stock, with each warrant being exercisable for a five-year period to purchase an additional share at a price of $5.00, subject to adjustments specified therein (the “Common Warrants”). The securities were issued on November 24, 2023, and were registered pursuant to a Form S-11 registration statement (File No. 333-275604). Maxim was paid 7% of the gross proceeds from this offering and was also reimbursed $107,500 for its expenses.

Execution of Purchase Agreements to Acquire Naamche, Inc. and Naamche, Inc. Pvt. Ltd.

On December 3, 2023, we entered into the First Purchase Agreement by and among us, Naamche, the Sellers and Sellers’ Representative, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Naamche not already owned by us (the “First Acquisition”), in exchange for: (i) 225,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the our restricted common stock to be issued to the Sellers within 9 months from the closing date of the Acquisitions (as defined below) (the “Closing Date”), with each Seller receiving a number of Shares based on such Seller’s Relative Share (as defined in the First Purchase Agreement); and (ii) $450,000 in cash, payable to the Sellers in the 3 year period following the Closing Date based on the achievement of specified revenue-based targets (the “Contingent Payments,” and together with the Shares, the “U.S. Naamche Purchase Price”). The Shares will be subject to vesting over a 3 year period commencing from the date of issuance (the “Vesting Period”), provided that the Sellers remain actively involved in the management and operations of Naamche and Nepal Naamche during the Vesting Period. As of the date of execution of the First Purchase Agreement, we owned 25% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Naamche.

Concurrently with the execution of the First Purchase Agreement, we also entered into the Second Purchase Agreement by and among us, Nepal Naamche, the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Nepal Naamche (the “Second Acquisition,” and together with the First Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”), in exchange for $50,000 in cash payable to each Seller based on such Seller’s Relative Share (as defined in the Second Purchase Agreement) (the “Nepal Naamche Purchase Price,” and together with the U.S. Naamche Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”).

Subsequently, on February 2, 2024, the Company, Nepal Naamche, the Sellers and Sellers’ Representative entered into the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, which amends, restates and supersedes the Second Purchase Agreement in its entirety. The Amended and Restated Agreement provides for, in addition to the transactions contemplated by the Second Purchase Agreement, a post-closing covenant of the Company to subscribe for and purchase from Nepal Naamche an aggregate of 135,000 shares of its common stock during the one-year period following the Closing Date, at a price per share of Nepalese Rupees 100, pursuant to the terms of one or more subscription agreements to be entered into between the Company and Nepal Naamche. As of the date of this report, we have not yet entered into any such subscription agreements with Nepal Naamche.

The closing of the Acquisitions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set out in the Purchase Agreements, which with respect to the Amended and Restated Agreement, includes the receipt of regulatory approval from the Department of Industries of Nepal for the transactions contemplated by the Second Purchase Agreement, which was received on March 27, 2024. However, the closing of the First Acquisition is still contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver of all of the remaining closing conditions set out in the Second Purchase Agreement and Amended and Restated Agreement. As a result of the Acquisitions, to the extent we satisfy the foregoing closing conditions, we will own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Naamche and Nepal Naamche, and both entities will be our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

In accordance with the Purchase Agreements, we also have the right to set-off any amount owed by the Sellers in connection with the Purchase Agreements, including any Losses (as defined in the Purchase Agreements) for which we are entitled to indemnification, against any amount owed by us to any Seller under the Purchase Agreement (including, but not limited to, any portion of the Purchase Price).

Letter of Intent

On December 13, 2023, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire United Software Group and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “USG”) an Ohio-based privately-held, multi-industry information technology consulting company (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to which, we intended to purchase USG for an aggregate purchase price of up to $40,000,000, payable as follows: (i) $11,700,000 in cash at closing; (ii) $16,700,000 in shares of our common stock, at an initial value of $10 per share, subject to adjustments based on the common stock’s performance 18 months after closing; and (iii) an additional $11,600,000 in cash, subject to performance based earn-out measures set forth in the LOI.

The proposed Acquisition was subject to conditions, including negotiation of definitive documentation and completion of our due diligence. On February 19, 2024, in accordance with the LOI, we notified USG of our intention to extend the due diligence period for another 60 days. On April 12, 2024, after completion of our due diligence investigations, we terminated negotiations to acquire USG and will not enter into a definitive agreement.

Change in fiscal year

On December 12, 2023, our board of directors approved a change to our fiscal year end from April 30 to December 31, effective as of December 31, 2023. Accordingly, references to our fiscal year 2022 and prior years, if any, mean the fiscal year ended on April 30 of such year, and references to our fiscal year 2023 and beyond mean the fiscal year ended on December 31 of such year.

Results of Operations

Pursuant to the merger (the “Downstream Merger”) between reAlpha Tech Corp. (the “Former Parent”) and reAlpha Asset Management, Inc. (the “Former Subsidiary”), our Former Parent merged with and into the Former Subsidiary, with the Company surviving the Downstream Merger. Because the Company acquired the Former Parent’s assets and liabilities upon consummation of the merger, the Former Parent’s financials became a part of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. As a result, the financial statements included in this report and discussed herein reflect the operating results of both our Former Parent and the Company prior to March 21, 2023, which was the date on which the Downstream Merger closed, and our combined results, including those of the Former Parent, following the Downstream Merger closing date.

Revenues. Revenues were $20,426 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $111,451 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our revenues consist of both the short-term rental revenue that we receive from our listed properties and platform services income that we receive directly from, or services related to, our technologies. This decrease in revenues is mainly attributed to lower rental income segment due to the disposal of our properties during and subsequent to the fiscal year 2023, as well as lower platform services segment revenue compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of the sale of myAlphie.

Cost of Revenues. The cost of revenues was $18,249 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $70,775 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cost of revenues consists of payments for property management fees of listed properties, previous payments to vendors for work completed through myAlphie and associated payment processing fees to Stripe, a payment platform. The decrease in cost of revenues is mainly attributed due to the sale of myAlphie, since we no longer incur any direct costs related to operating the myAlphie platform.

Wages, Benefits, and Payroll Taxes. Wages, benefits, and payroll taxes totaled $418,902 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $204,196 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase is attributed to the recent salary adjustments to our executive officers, which were retroactive to January 1, 2024, in addition to the creation of a new executive officer position and associated salary therewith.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization were $71,453 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $48,003 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase is mainly attributed to the inclusion of intangible asset amortization in the depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses were $211,497 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $96,476 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase is mainly attributed to an increase in directors’ and officers’ insurance expenses, and an increase in commission and title expenses occurred in connection with the sale of one of our properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Other Income. Other income was $31,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $90 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase is mainly attributed to the gain on sale of property sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $10,802 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $41,812 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in interest expense is attributable to a decrease in outstanding mortgage loans after the sale of certain properties.

Professional and Legal Fees. Professional and legal fees were $468,725 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $325,161 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in periods is mainly due to an increase in general legal advisory services and related fees.

Other Expenses. Other non-operating expenses were $132,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $29,843 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase is mainly due to the amortization expenses of the commitment fee incurred in connection with the equity facility we have in place with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (collectively, “GEM”).

Net Loss. Net loss was $1,419,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $864,913 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase in loss is mainly attributable to increase in wages, Professional and legal fees and amortization of commitment fee.

Analysis of Segment Results:

The following is an analysis of our results by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. For further information regarding our reportable business segments, refer to our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Platform Services

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change in $ Change in %
Total revenue 20,426 62,810 (42,384) (67)
Cost of revenue (18,249) (62,528) 44,279 (71)
Segment earnings (loss) $2,177 $282 $1,895 672

Revenues. Revenues for the platform services segment was $20,426 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $62,810 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in revenue is attributable to the sale of myAlphie. We have not generated other platform services revenue since the sale of myAlphie, except for providing technical support services to Turnit during the transition period after the sale of myAlphie.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues for the platform services segment was $18,249 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $62,528 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in cost of revenues is mainly attributed to the sale of myAlphie. After the sale, we no longer incur any payments to vendors or Stripe previously associated with myAlphie’s platform. The cost of revenues now consists only of costs incurred in connection with the technical support services provided to Turnit.

Segment earnings. Segment earnings was $2,177 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $282 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase in segment earnings is mainly due to an increase in support services provided to Turnit and a decrease in payments to vendors and Stripe.

Rental Business

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Change in $ Change in %
Total revenue - 48,641 (48,641) (100)
Cost of revenue - (8,247) 8,247 (100)
Operating expenses (39,135) (62,567) 23,432 (37)
Other Income (expenses), net 20,590 (55,532) 76,122 (137)
Segment earnings (loss) $(18,545) $(77,705) $59,160 (76)

Revenues. Revenues for the rental business segment was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $48,641 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease is attributable to the decrease in the number of properties listed compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, as we sold the properties we held for this segment’s operations as a result of putting these operations on hold.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues for the rental business segment was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $8,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This difference is attributed to the decrease in the number of properties listed, which decreased the associated costs of maintaining those properties.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses of the rental business segment was $39,135 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $62,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease is mainly attributed to the depreciation and amortization expense.

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) of the rental business segment was $20,590 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $(55,532) for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This difference is mainly attributed to the gain on the sale of the properties we disposed of and the reduction in interest expenses resulting from us paying the corresponding mortgage loans for such properties.

Segment loss. Segment loss was $18,545 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a segment loss of $77,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease is mainly attributable to decrease in interest expense and decrease in depreciation and amortization expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”), we believe “Adjusted EBITDA,” a “non-GAAP financial measure”, as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, adjusted to exclude interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events, if any. For the three-months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we did not have any non-recurring event.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA:

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023
Net loss $(1,419,045) $(864,913)
Adjusted to exclude the following: - -
Depreciation and amortization 71,453 48,003
Interest expense 10,802 41,812
Adjusted EBITDA $(1,336,790) $(775,098)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity describes the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of its business operations, including working capital needs, debt services, acquisitions, contractual obligations and other commitments. As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate meaningful revenue from our business operations and have funded acquisitions, capital expenditure and working capital requirement through equity and debt financing.

We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and approximately $6.5 million as of December 31, 2023. We believe we have sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next 12 months.

On November 21, 2023, we entered into a placement agency agreement with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) and a securities purchase agreement for the purposes of completing a best-efforts financing with Maxim resulting in the issuance of 1,600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustments. As a result of this offering, we raised aggregate gross and net proceeds of $8.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement entered into on December 1, 2022, between us and GEM (the “GEM Agreement”), we can issue and sell to GEM up to an aggregate value of $100 million in shares of our common stock pursuant to draw down notices in accordance with the GEM Agreement. At this time, we do not intend to draw down on the GEM Agreement, but we will continuously evaluate our cash on hand position and business operations needs going forward. We, in our sole discretion, may draw down from the GEM Agreement in the future as our business operations evolve and more working capital to fund operations is needed.

We believe the likelihood that any warrant holders will exercise their warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our common stock. If the trading price for our common stock is less than $371.90 per share, in the case of the warrants issued to GEM in accordance with the GEM Agreement (the “GEM Warrants”), we believe holders of the GEM Warrants will be unlikely to exercise them. While current conditions influencing the exercise of the GEM Warrants make such exercise unlikely, further adjustments to its exercise price may make the GEM Warrants more attractive for investors to exercise. Our analysis is based on the trading price of our common stock as of the date of this report, with a threshold set at $371.90 per share for the GEM warrants. On April 15, 2024, the closing price of our common stock was $0.85 per share.

Our liquidity and capital resources are critical to our ability to execute our business plan and achieve our strategic objectives. Accordingly, to the extent that we may need to raise additional working capital to fund operations, we will need to secure additional financing. The timing, size, and terms of any such offering have not yet been determined. To the extent that we require additional funds more than 12 months from the date hereof, and collections from our short-term rentals and technologies, to the extent commercialized, cannot fund our needs, we may utilize equity or debt offerings to raise these funds. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on various factors, including market conditions, investor demand, and our financial performance.

Further, the cost of capital and historically high-interest rates can have a direct impact on our ability to raise capital through debt or equity offerings or to pursue acquisitions. Economic environments yielding higher interest rates with more stringent debt terms such as today’s market environment require larger equity commitments. This means that, as larger equity commitments are required, we will have less leverage and may have fewer acquisitions overall.

Our business model requires significant capital expenditures to build and maintain the infrastructure and technology required to support our operations. In addition, we may incur additional costs associated with research and development of new products and services, expansion into new markets or geographies, and general corporate overhead. As a result, we may require additional financing in the future to fund these initiatives, which may include additional equity or debt financing or strategic partnerships. We currently do not have any commitments or arrangements for additional financing, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when required, we may be forced to reduce the scope of our operations, delay the launch of new products or services, or take other actions that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We may also be required to seek additional financing on terms that are unfavorable to us, which could result in the dilution of our stockholders’ ownership interests or the imposition of burdensome terms and restrictions.

Smaller Reporting Company

We qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under the rules of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, we may choose to take advantage of certain scaled disclosure requirements available specifically to smaller reporting companies. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliated persons and entities, or our public float, is more than $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or until the fiscal year following the year in which we have at least $100 million in revenue and at least $250 million in public float as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

Controls and procedures

As filed, 3,480 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed 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 that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024, the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer) concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can 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 also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
