HUMBL is a Web 3, digital commerce platform built to connect consumers, businesses and governments in the digital economy. HUMBL provides simple tools and packaging for complex new technologies such as blockchain, in the same way that previous cycles of e-commerce and the cloud were more simply packaged by companies such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Netflix over the past several decades. The Company through their product offerings are looking to simplify and package the digital economy for consumers, corporations and government.
The goal of HUMBL is to provide ready built tools, and platforms for consumers and merchants to seamlessly participate in the digital economy. HUMBL is built on a patent-pending, decentralized technology stack that utilizes both core and partner technologies, to provide faster connections to the digital economy and each other.
The Company is organized into two divisions: a) HUMBL Consumer and b) HUMBL Commercial. These two divisions incorporate and expand the Company’s core products and services. The majority of the Company’s operations prior to 2022 were focused on the Consumer division.
HUMBL – A Web 3 Commerce Platform
HUMBL was founded to deliver an integrated, Web 3 digital commerce platform for consumers, merchants and governments. HUMBL has delivered one of the first integrated technology environments in which a digital wallet, search engine, social media and marketplace listings can be used together by consumers in one place. The HUMBL platform is comprised of the following key components described below.
HUMBL Consumer Division
| ● | HUMBL Wallet | |
| ● | HUMBL Search Engine | |
| ● | HUMBL Tickets | |
| ● | HUMBL Marketplace | |
| ● | HUMBL Social | |
| ● | HUMBL Metaverse Stores |
HUMBL Commercial Division
| ● | HUMBL Blockchain Services |
| 7 |
HUMBL Wallet
The HUMBL Wallet is the centerpiece of the Web 3 consumer experience on the HUMBL platform. The HUMBL Wallet is self-custodied by the individual; ensuring that they have full control over their digital assets and private keys.
Customers can use the HUMBL Wallet to send and receive digital assets, interact on the HUMBL Social platform, perform web searches on the HUMBL Search Engine, store and manage their NFTs, consume content via MP4 multimedia player and more.
The HUMBL Wallet drives revenue through: a) digital asset swaps, in which the customer can use the self-custodied HUMBL digital wallet to swap from one digital asset to another on the Ethereum blockchain, and b) purchasing crypto through Sardine, a third-party service that allows customers to buy digital assets with credit cards.
The HUMBL Wallet is also connected to the BLOCKS Registry, a decentralized blockchain registry that allows customers to authenticate digital items, such as NFTs, and track the chain of custody to ensure reduced fraud, forgery and theft in the digital markets.
HUMBL Wallet customers have the obligation to perform their own tax record keeping and tracking of assets and swaps in the self-custodied wallet; as well as backup of their private keys, to ensure the recoverability, data security and storage of their digital assets.
The HUMBL Wallet is equipped with 2-factor authentication; as well as biometric security features, which are handled by the handset and its manufacturer. HUMBL does not store or have access to any biometric information related to its verified users.
The HUMBL Wallet uses SumSub, a third-party service provider, to perform KYC / KYB and authenticate customers. HUMBL does not capture or store consumers’ information on HUMBL’s servers, except for their corresponding name, wallet address and email address for basic communications with the verified user. HUMBL does not resell its customers data.
The HUMBL Wallet is available in over 130 countries and is not available in any OFAC Countries.
HUMBL Search Engine
The HUMBL Search Engine is available via the HUMBL Wallet and the HUMBL website. The HUMBL Search Engine allows customers to search for standard Web 2 content such as news, images and video. The company also recently completed the development of its HUMBL Ads portal, which can be used to customize advertising programs for clients. This includes traditional search advertising such as display ads, location targeting and cost-per-click performance advertising.
The HUMBL Search Engine also offers Web 3 blockchain-based search features such as the ability to search major NFTs across Ethereum, Polygon, BLOCKS, Gnosis and Solana. Consumers are able to confirm that certain NFTs have been “Verified by BLOCKS” to protect against the fraud and forgery in the NFT market. The search engine also shows customers where certain NFTs are available for purchase across various marketplaces.
HUMBL Tickets
HUMBL Tickets is initially focused on the offering of secondary (resale) tickets to thousands of live events across North America. HUMBL Tickets inventory listings and ticket fulfillment are provided by Ticket Evolution and HUMBL earns a commission for each sale through its website.
The ticketing content provided on HUMBL Tickets spans across major live music, sports, festivals and events in multiple countries. HUMBL Tickets advertises its services primarily across social media, including its own HUMBL Social platform.
HUMBL is also exploring the development of primary ticketing and peer-to-peer ticketing sales via blockchain technology and dynamic QR codes, with ticket storage inside the HUMBL Wallet as future digital collectibles; along with authenticated content, ratings and reviews from ticketed events on the HUMBL Social platform via verified profiles, commemorative icons and attendance badges.
| 8 |
HUMBL Marketplace
The HUMBL Marketplace was designed to pair authenticated buyers and sellers in verified, digital commerce. The HUMBL Marketplace currently works with clients such as professional athletes, brands, and marketing and talent agencies, to provide sports merchandise ranging from autographed jerseys, bats, balls, helmets, photos and more.
The HUMBL Marketplace mitigates forgeries by pairing physical merchandise with digital certificates of registration. Merchandise is made available on the HUMBL platform and is verified, registered, and cataloged on the blockchain.
The HUMBL Marketplace also allows for the minting and listing of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as digital collectibles, that allow pre-approved individuals to monetize their digital images, multimedia content and catalogues on the blockchain.
HUMBL is a software platform and does not act as a broker, financial institution, or creditor for digital collectibles. We facilitate transactions between the buyer and seller in the auction/sale process, but we are not a party to any agreement between the buyer and seller or between any users.
HUMBL Social
HUMBL Social is one of the world’s first user-verified social media platforms. The social media platform is available via web browser and the HUMBL Wallet. The goal of HUMBL Social is to provide real people, real profiles and real merchants with a place to connect on the worldwide web.
HUMBL Social supports only verified user profiles, to ensure authenticity of the platform. This helps to reduce the fake profiles, product ratings and reviews that have plagued major Web 2 social media platforms due to the allowance of anonymous profiles and non-verified sellers. The HUMBL Social platform is available in over 130+ countries via the HUMBL Wallet and web browser.
HUMBL Metaverse Stores
HUMBL has created technology to build customized metaverse stores for brands, athletes, entertainers and celebrities. HUMBL’s first metaverse store was created for Major League Baseball player Ke’Bryan Hayes and his father Charlie Hayes, a retired Major League Baseball player. The brand metaverse store is called the “House of Hayes” and supports the development of an immersive player experience, in which customers can navigate a simulated environment of historical artwork and current digital collectibles. Custom artwork was provided by Topps “Sports Artist of the Year” Lauren Taylor, in the form of digital collectibles that rotated on screens throughout the environment. Endorsement sporting goods brands of Ke’Bryan Hayes, such as Wilson, Franklin and Old Hickory, also supported product placement and sell-through environments for products such as authentic baseball bats and gloves. An immersive Wilson Amphitheatre was also created for multimedia press conferences or media interactions with Ke’Bryan Hayes’ avatar.
HUMBL Blockchain Services
HUMBL Blockchain Services (“HBS”) was formed as part of the Company’s asset acquisition of BizSecure on February 12, 2022. Recognizing the opportunities for governments and commercial enterprises to incorporate blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (“DLT”), HBS is focused on working with clients to identify problems and develop solutions that build upon the various capabilities the Company has and continues to develop.
Our solutions enable municipalities, government agencies, and other commercial entities the ability to offer mobile IDs and other credential verification services to their constituents. We continue to make significant investments to leverage our existing technologies and further expand our DLT capabilities.
| 9 |
Components of the HUMBL Wallet can be used by HBS to white label a “Powered By” environment for local, state or national government clients that may want to move to digital or blockchain-based registry formats of their transactions, record keeping and / or payments from citizens, corporations, or government departments.
An example of this is a pilot program that HUMBL is currently developing with the County of Santa Cruz (CA), in which HUMBL and the County are working to scope the development of a digital wallet in which citizens can more easily and effectively receive government services access via digital technologies.
HUMBL Financial
HUMBL Financial was developed to package step-function technologies such as blockchain into “several clicks” for the customer.
In 2021, HUMBL Financial created BLOCK ETX products to simplify digital asset investing for customers and institutions seeking exposure to a new, 24/7 digital asset class. We have launched this product in 100 countries outside the United States. HUMBL Financial has developed proprietary, multi-factor blockchain indexes, trading algorithms and financial services for the new digital asset trading markets to accommodate index, active and thematic investment strategies. BLOCK ETXs are completely non-custodial, algorithmically driven software services that allow customers to purchase and hold digital assets in pre-set allocations through their own digital asset exchange accounts. BLOCK ETXs are compatible for United States customers who have accounts with Coinbase Pro, Bittrex US or Binance US and for non-US customers who have accounts with Bittrex Global. BLOCK ETXs were served first on the desktop and web version of the HUMBL platform, with the goal of future applications inside the HUMBL mobile application. HUMBL Financial is open to the licensing of the BLOCK ETXs to institutions and exchanges. HUMBL Financial also plans to offer trusted, third-party financial services in areas such as payments, investments, credit card services and lending across the HUMBL platform over time.
In February 2022, the Company elected to suspend offering the BLOCK ETX products pending further legal analysis regarding how to offer the BLOCK ETXs in a fully compliant manner with the evolving laws and regulatory treatment of such novel products. The Company will continue to monitor the regulatory environment with respect to these products. In accordance with ASC 205-20-50-1(a), the timing of the disposal was February 28, 2022. The Company met the criteria for the BLOCK ETX operations to be classified as held for sale at that time.
Going Concern
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
During the past two years, we devoted a substantial amount of capital to build out our platform and as a result our working capital deficit and accumulated deficit have increased significantly. In addition, we have incurred significant debt from both unrelated and related parties to assist in supporting our operations.
As
of March 31, 2023, we had $
We
had a working capital deficit of $11,719,183 and $

In
January 2023, we recognized a gain on disposal of $
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic previously had a profound effect on the U.S. and global economy and may continue to affect the economy and the industries in which we operate, depending on the vaccine rollouts and the emergence of virus mutations.
COVID-19 did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our ability to access the capital markets and maintain existing operations is unknown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such limitation on available financing and how we conduct business with our customers and vendors would adversely affect our business.
Because the federal government and some state and local authorities are reacting to the many variants of COVID-19, it is creating uncertainty on whether these actions could disrupt the operation of the Company’s business and have an adverse effect on the Company. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak may impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain its impact.
Impact of Cryptocurrency Bankruptcies
In November 2022, both FTX Trading and BlockFi filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. These bankruptcies have impacted several companies either directly or indirectly. Customers of the HUMBL Wallet use our platform to hold their cryptocurrency. Assets related to user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation and the user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customers’ crypto assets in digital wallets on the Company’s platform. The Company safeguards these assets for customers and is obligated to safeguard them from loss, theft, or other misuse. The Company recognizes the users cryptocurrencies liabilities and corresponding assets related to the users cryptocurrencies, on initial recognition and at each reporting date, at fair value of the crypto assets. Any loss, theft, or misuse would impact the measurement of users crypto assets. We removed the HUMBL Pay app from the Apple App Store and Google Play store on January 31, 2023 and are in the process of migrating all customers from HUMBL Pay to the HUMBL Wallet. HUMBL Wallet users maintain their own private digital wallets where the cryptocurrency is held and HUMBL has no access to those wallets.
The majority of the cryptocurrency obligation is comprised of Bitcoin, Ethereum and BLOCKS.

We do not, nor have we ever used either of these exchanges to conduct business. We have not been impacted by these bankruptcies. And we continue to monitor the industry and protect our customers’ assets.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”). It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HUMBL, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. HUMBL, Inc. holds
The Company applies the guidance of Topic 805 Business Combinations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
For Monster, BizSecure, Ixaya and BM Authentics, the Company accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations and the difference between the consideration paid and the net assets was applied to goodwill as there were no identifiable intangible assets acquired.
Reclassification
The Company has reclassified certain amounts in the 2022 financial statements to comply with the 2023 presentation. These principally relate to classification of certain expenses and liabilities. The reclassifications had no impact on total net loss or net cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for permanent and temporary differences related to income taxes, liabilities to accrue, estimates of the fair value of goodwill and determination of the fair value of stock awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Cash
consists of cash and demand deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company holds
In 2022, the Company established a service to their HUMBL Pay app users. The service enables HUMBL Pay app users the ability through a Company maintained digital asset wallet with Wyre (“Wyre”) to purchase digital assets (cryptocurrency). As it can take 5 to 8 business days to physically settle funds in the Wyre wallet, there may be delays in digital assets being received by customers and the delivery of BLOCKS in a BitGo wallet (“BitGo”). BitGo is a third-party custodian service that provides the custody for the customers’ BLOCKS.
| 12 |
The BitGo account is not the Company’s account; however it represents the pool of all BLOCKS held by and allocated to HUMBL Pay users accounts. The users may choose to transfer the purchased BLOCKS to their individual wallets outside of HUMBL.
Safeguarding Obligation
Assets related to user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation and the user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customers’ crypto assets in digital wallets on the Company’s platform. The Company safeguards these assets for customers and is obligated to safeguard them from loss, theft, or other misuse. The Company recognizes the users cryptocurrencies liabilities and corresponding assets related to the users cryptocurrencies, on initial recognition and at each reporting date, at fair value of the crypto assets. Any loss, theft, or misuse would impact the measurement of users crypto assets.
The majority of the cryptocurrency obligation is comprised of Bitcoin, Ethereum and BLOCKS.
Fixed Assets and Long-Lived Assets
ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company has adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.
The Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Fixed assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets with infinite lives, such as digital currency are valued at costs and reviewed for indicators of impairment at least annually, or more depending on circumstances.
The Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1. Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2. Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.
When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer that is within the scope of this Topic only when the five steps of revenue recognition under ASC 606 are met.
The five core principles will be evaluated for each service provided by the Company and is further supported by applicable guidance in ASC 606 to support the Company’s recognition of revenue.
| 13 |
The Company accounts for revenues based on the verticals in which they were earned. The three principal verticals in which the Company operates today are HUMBL Mobile Wallet, HUMBL Marketplace, and HUMBL Blockchain Services.
HUMBL Mobile Wallet (formerly HUMBL Pay)
The Company is anticipated to earn transaction revenues primarily from fees charged to consumers and merchants on a transaction basis through the Company’s mobile application. These fees may have a fixed and/or variable component. The variable component is generally a percentage of the value of the payment amount and is known at the time the transaction is processed. For a portion of our transactions, the variable component of the fee is eligible for reimbursement when the underlying transaction is approved for a refund. The Company may estimate the amount of fee refunds that will be processed each quarter and record a provision against the net revenues. The volume of activity processed on the platform, which results in transaction revenue, is referred to as Total Payment Volume (“TPV”).
The Company will earn additional fees on transactions where currency conversion is performed via on ramping and off ramping via digital currencies, when swaps are performed on digital currencies, and when cross-border transactions are enabled (i.e., transactions where the merchant and consumer are in different countries), to facilitate the instant transfer of funds for customers from their HUMBL account to their debit card or bank account, and other miscellaneous fees. The Company will rely on third party partners to perform all money transmission services.
The Company may earn revenues from other value-added services, which are comprised primarily of revenue earned through partnerships, referral fees, subscription fees, gateway fees, ticketing, peer-to-peer payments, and other services that will be provided to merchants and consumers. These contracts typically have one performance obligation which is provided and recognized over the term of the contract.
The transaction price is generally fixed and known at the end of each reporting period; however, for some agreements, it may be necessary to estimate the transaction price using the expected value method. The Company is expected to record revenue earned in revenues from other value-added services on a net basis when they are considered the agent with respect to processing transactions.
HUMBL Search Engine
Revenues are derived principally from the sale of advertisements, classifieds fees, and revenue sharing arrangements. Advertising revenue is derived principally from the sale of online advertisements which are based on “impressions” (i.e., the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users of our platforms) or “clicks” (which are generated each time users on our platforms click through our advertisements to an advertiser’s designated website) delivered to advertisers.
The Company uses the output method and apply the practical expedient to recognize advertising revenue in the amount to which they have a right to invoice. For contracts with target advertising commitments with rebates, estimated payout is accounted for as a variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur.
HUMBL Tickets
The Company recognizes revenues from HUMBL Tickets primarily from service fees. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we receive in exchange for those goods or services. For service fees and payment processing fees, revenue is recognized when the ticket is sold.
We evaluate whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon our evaluation of whether we obtain control of the specified goods or services by considering if we are primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, have inventory risk, and have the latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors.
| 14 |
For the payment processing service, we determined that we are the principal in providing the service as we responsible for fulfilling the promise to process the payment and we have discretion and latitude in establishing the price of our service. Based on our assessment, we record revenue on a net basis related to our ticketing service and on a gross basis related to our payment processing service. As a result, costs incurred for processing the transactions are included in cost of net revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue is presented net of indirect taxes, value-added taxes, creator royalties and reserves for customer refunds, payment chargebacks and estimated uncollectible amounts. If an event is cancelled by a creator, then any obligations to provide refunds to event attendees are the responsibility of that creator.
If a creator is unwilling or unable to fulfill their refund obligations, we may, at our discretion, provide attendee refunds. Revenue is also presented net of the amortization of creator signing fees when applicable. The benefit we receive by securing exclusive ticketing and payment processing rights with certain creators from creator signing fees is inseparable from the customer relationship with the creator and accordingly these fees are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
HUMBL Marketplace
The Company recognizes revenue when they transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Net transaction revenues
The net transaction revenues will primarily include final value fees, feature fees, including fees to promote listings, and listing fees from sellers in our Marketplace. The net transaction revenues will also include store subscription and other fees often from large enterprise sellers. The net transaction revenues are reduced by incentives provided to customers.
The Company has identified one performance obligation to sellers on the Marketplace platform, which is to connect buyers and sellers on the secure and trusted Marketplace platforms. Final value fees are recognized when an item is sold on a Marketplace platform, satisfying this performance obligation. There may be additional services available to Marketplace sellers, mainly to promote or feature listings, that are not distinct within the context of the contract.
Accordingly, fees for these additional services are recognized when the single performance obligation is satisfied. Promoted listing fees are recognized when the item is sold and feature and listing fees are recognized when an item is sold, or when the contract expires.
Further, to drive traffic to the platform, the Company will provide incentives to buyers and sellers in various forms including discounts on fees, discounts on items sold, coupons and rewards. Evaluating whether a promotion or incentive is a payment to a customer may require significant judgment. Promotions and incentives which are consideration payable to a customer are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is paid or promise to be paid. Promotions and incentives to most buyers on our Marketplace platforms, to whom there is no performance obligation, are recognized as sales and marketing expense. In addition, there may be credits provided to customers when certain fees are refunded. Credits are accounted for as variable consideration at contract inception when estimating the amount of revenue to be recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and updated as additional information becomes available.
HUMBL Blockchain Services
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into product revenues and services revenues.
Product revenue related contracts with customers begin upon contract inception when a purchase order for a specific customer order of a product to be delivered in the near term. These purchase orders are short-term in nature. Product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product, depending on shipping terms. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of goods as transfer of control typically occurs upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product.
| 15 |
Service revenues primarily consist of revenues derived from maintenance support and the use of the Company’s service platforms and application programming interface (“APIs”) on a subscription basis. The Company generates this revenue from fees for maintenance and support, monthly active user fees, SaaS fees, and hosting and storage fees. In most cases, the subscription or transaction arrangement is a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The Company applies a time-based measure of progress to the total transaction price, which results in ratable recognition over the term of the contract. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the customer obtains equal benefit from the service throughout the service period.
The Company accounts for individual goods and services separately if they are distinct performance obligations, which often requires significant judgment based upon knowledge of the products and/or services, the solution provided and the structure of the sales contract. In SaaS agreements, the Company provides a service to the customer that combines the software functionality, maintenance and hosting into a single performance obligation. In product-related contracts, a purchase order may cover different products, each constituting a separate performance obligation.
HUMBL Financial
In February 2022, the Company elected to suspend offering the BLOCK ETX products pending further legal analysis regarding how to offer the BLOCK ETXs in a fully compliant manner with the evolving laws and regulatory treatment of such novel products. The Company will continue to monitor the regulatory environment with respect to these products. In accordance with ASC 205-20-50-1(a), the timing of the disposal was February 28, 2022.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
An
allowance is based on management’s estimate of the overall collectability of accounts receivable, considering historical losses.
Based on these same factors, individual accounts are charged off against the allowance when management determines those individual accounts
are uncollectible. Credit extended to customers is generally uncollateralized. Past-due status is based on contractual terms. The Company
does not charge interest on accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in first-out method. The carrying value of inventory is evaluated periodically for excess quantities and obsolescence. Management evaluates quantities on hand and physical condition as these characteristics may be impacted by anticipated customer demand for current products. The allowance is adjusted based on such evaluation, with a corresponding provision included in cost of sales.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted under the asset and liability method. The current charge for income tax expense is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to the entities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those 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. Differences between statutory tax rates and effective tax rates relate to permanent tax differences.
| 16 |
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows ASC 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.
The Company follows ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation and has adopted ASU 2017-09 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. The Company calculates compensation expense for all awards granted, but not yet vested, based on the grant-date fair values. Share-based compensation expense for all awards granted is based on the grant-date fair values. The Company policy is to recognize these compensation costs, on a pro rata basis over the requisite service period of each vesting tranche of each award for service-based grants, and as the criteria is achieved for performance-based grants, when such grants are made. For stock options and warrants, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of those grants. The Company has not had any forfeitures of these grants, and these estimates of value will include a percentage of forfeitures when that percentage is able to be estimated.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Cash paid when shares are directly withheld for tax withholding purposes will be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825 Financial Instruments requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts payable to related parties, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Leases
The Company follows ASC 842 Leases in accounting for leased properties, when they exceed a one-year term. When the Company enters into leases with a term in excess of one year, they will recognize a lease liability and right of use asset in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.
Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented, so only the basic weighted average number of common shares are used in the computations.
Currency Translation
Ixaya’s functional currency is the Mexican Peso and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Transactions denominated in the functional currency are converted into United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction or the average rate for the period in the case of revenue and expense transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are re-valued into the reporting currency at each balance sheet date using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, with any resulting exchange gains or losses being credited or charged to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in the reporting currency using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction and are not revalued for subsequent changes in exchange rates.
| 17 |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including convertible notes and warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
The Company generally uses a Black-Scholes model, as applicable, to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates when needed. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities, is remeasured at the end of each reporting period.
Digital Assets
Digital assets, including non-fungible tokens and cryptocurrencies, are included in the consolidated balance sheets. We have ownership of and control over our digital assets and may use third party custodial services to secure them. Digital assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured at cost, net of any impairment losses on our consolidated balance sheets. We assign costs to digital asset transactions on a first-in, first-out basis. Gains or losses are not recorded until realized upon sale(s).
We determine the fair value of our digital assets on a nonrecurring basis, based on quoted prices on the active exchange(s) that we have determined is the principal market for such assets (Level 1 inputs). We perform a quarterly, or more frequent review to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted prices on active exchanges on any day during the quarter, indicate that it is more likely than not that our digital assets are impaired.
The
cost basis of digital assets will not be adjusted upward for subsequent increases in fair value. Such impairment in the value of digital
assets is recorded as a component of other operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. We recorded an impairment
loss of approximately $
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
Segment Reporting
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making internal operating decisions.
Commencing January 1, 2022, the Company simplified their business model to segment their business into two distinct divisions: Consumer and Commercial.
| 18 |
All of the Company’s sales are from North America, therefore the Company has determined that segment reporting by geographic location was not necessary. In the future, the Company will continue to monitor their activity by region to determine if it is feasible to report segment information by location.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that this new guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.
On March 31, 2022, the SEC added Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 121 (“SAB 121”) into Section FF to Topic 5. The interpretations in this SAB express views of the staff regarding the accounting for entities that have obligations to safeguard crypto-assets held for their platform users. In connection with these services, these entities and/or their agents may safeguard the platform users’ crypto-assets and also maintain the cryptographic key information necessary to access the crypto-asset. The obligations associated with these arrangements involve unique risks and uncertainties not present in arrangements to safeguard assets that are not crypto-assets, including technological, legal, and regulatory risks and uncertainties.
These risks can have a significant impact on the entity’s operations and financial condition. The staff believes that the recognition, measurement, and disclosure guidance in this SAB will enhance the information received by investors and other uses of financial statements about these risks, thereby assisting them in making investment and other capital allocation decisions.
This guidance should be applied no later than the financial statements covering the first interim or annual report ending after June 15, 2022, with retroactive application as of the beginning of the fiscal year to which the interim or annual period relates. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company has reflected the asset and liability related to the user cryptocurrencies safeguarded on the Company’s platform. We do not have any ownership or custody of the digital assets maintained on our platform. We engage the services of Wyre and BitGo to act as the custodians of the digital assets held on our platform.
The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
BLOCK ETX
Effective February 28, 2022, the Company elected to suspend offering the BLOCK ETX products pending further legal analysis regarding how to offer the BLOCK ETXs in a fully compliant manner with the evolving laws and regulatory treatment of such novel products. The Company will continue to monitor the regulatory environment with respect to these products. Per ASC 205-20-50-1(a), the timing of the disposal was February 28, 2022. The Company met the criteria for the BLOCK ETX operations to be classified as held for sale at that time.
All subscription revenues recognized in January and February 2022, were refunded to the subscribers. The only amounts reflected as discontinued operations in 2022 relate to the direct expenses attributable to the BLOCK ETX product line that include direct payroll and direct subcontractor costs. These amounts are reflected in the loss for discontinued operations as noted in the chart below.

NOTE 4: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
For all acquisitions prior to January 1, 2022, refer to the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed April 6, 2023.
BizSecure
On
February 12, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with BizSecure, Inc. (“BizSecure”). The Company determined
this was an acquisition of a business pursuant to the guidance provided in both ASC 805 and Rule 11-01(d) of Regulation S-X. BizSecure
is not considered a significant subsidiary under Regulation S-X Rule 1-02(w). The Company acquired a customer relationship with the US
Air Force and BizSecure’s Mobile ID technology. The Company had issued common shares and restricted stock
units (“RSUs”) that vest quarterly commencing April 1, 2022 for a period of as part of this acquisition. On December
30, 2022, as a result of the Company’s failure to timely register the shares of common stock issued February 12, 2022
BizSecure requested the cancellation of such shares and the RSUs that vested during 2022. Pursuant to BizSecure’s request,
the shares of common stock and the RSUs were cancelled effective December 30, 2022. The remaining

The consideration paid for the acquisition of assets of BizSecure was as follows:
| Common stock | $ | |||
| Contingent consideration (RSUs) | ||||
| Total consideration | $ |
The Acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. The fair value measurements utilize estimates based on key assumptions of the Acquisition, and historical and current market data. The excess of the purchase price over the total of the estimated fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The Company has estimated the preliminary purchase price allocations based on historical inputs and data as of February 12, 2022.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best information available and is pending, amongst other things: (i) the finalization of the valuation of the fair values and useful lives of tangible assets acquired; (ii) the finalization of the valuations and useful lives for the intangible assets acquired; and (iii) finalization of the fair value of non-cash consideration.
The Company has up to one-year from the date of acquisition to adjust any of the acquired assets and liabilities for information obtained during this measurement period. If new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities as of the acquisition date or a re-allocation of assets and liabilities is necessary, the Company will adjust these figures.
The Company has determined that the preliminary purchase price allocation did not need to be revised.

The
Company has up to one-year from the date of acquisition to adjust any of the acquired assets and liabilities for information obtained

that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities as of the acquisition date or a re-allocation
of assets and liabilities is necessary, the Company will adjust these figures. The Company has performed an analysis on the purchase
price allocation and has determined that there are no adjustments to be made from the original allocation. During the three months ended

NOTE 9: INTANGIBLE ASSETS – DIGITAL ASSETS
In 2022, the Company established a service to their HUMBL Pay app users. The “Buy Crypto, Earn Rewards” service enables HUMBL Pay app users the ability through a Company maintained digital asset wallet with Wyre to purchase digital assets (cryptocurrency) and earn rewards. These rewards are not paid by the Company, but by Wyre itself. As it can take 5 to 8 business days to physically settle funds in the Wyre wallet, there may be delays in digital assets being received by customers and the delivery of BLOCKS to BitGo. BitGo is a third-party custodian service that provides the custody for the customers’ BLOCKS. These timing differences occur, and as of December 31, 2022, the BitGo account has been settled and no unfunded liabilities exist. The BitGo account is not the Company’s account; however, represents the pool of all BLOCKS held by and allocated to HUMBL Pay users accounts. The users may choose to transfer the purchased BLOCKS to their individual wallets outside of HUMBL.

Under SAB 121, companies are required to present the asset and liability at fair value for any crypto-assets and obligations to safeguard crypto-assets. The Company earns no revenue from providing this service to their customers. It is simply an added benefit that HUMBL Pay customers receive for using the app. The “Buy Crypto, Earn Rewards” service enables HUMBL Pay app users the ability through a Company maintained digital asset wallet with Wyre to purchase digital assets (cryptocurrency) and earn rewards. These rewards are not paid by the Company, but by Wyre itself.

NOTE 15: DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company entered into several convertible notes payable during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that terms include variable conversion prices (see Note 13). The Company evaluated these terms and determined that the conversion option on the convertible notes payable contained characteristics that required the Company to classify them as derivative liabilities. The Derivative Instruments have been accounted for utilizing ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company has incurred a liability for the estimated fair value of Derivative Instruments. The estimated fair value of the Derivative Instruments has been calculated using the Black-Scholes fair value option-pricing model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance, with changes in fair value recorded as gains or losses on revaluation in other income (expense).
The Company identified embedded features in some of the agreements which were classified as liabilities. These embedded features included a variable conversion price that would convert those instruments into a variable number of common shares. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company treat the instrument as liability and record the fair value of the instrument as derivatives as of the inception date of the instrument and to adjust the fair value of the instrument as of each subsequent balance sheet date.
The Company determined the derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of March 31, 2023. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate.
Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each warrant is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were used on March 31, 2023 and at inception:

NOTE 19: SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280-10 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making operating decisions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Our executive offices are located at 600 B Street, Suite 300, San Diego, California 92101, telephone (786) 738-9012. Our corporate website address is www.humbl.com.
Overview
HUMBL, Inc. (“Company” or “HUMBL”) was incorporated in the state of Oklahoma on November 12, 2009. The Company was redomiciled on November 30, 2020 to the state of Delaware.
On December 3, 2020, HUMBL, LLC (“HUMBL LLC”) merged into the Company in what is accounted for as a reverse merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, HUMBL LLC exchanged 100% of their membership interests for 552,029 shares of newly created Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred shares were issued to the respective members of HUMBL LLC following the approval by FINRA of a one-for-four reverse stock split of the common shares and the increase in the authorized common shares to 7,450,000,000 shares, and 10,000,000 preferred shares.
The FINRA approval for both the increase in the authorized common shares and reverse stock split occurred on February 26, 2021. To assume control of the Company, the former CEO, Henry Boucher assigned his 7,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as well as 550,000,000 shares of common stock to Brian Foote, the President and CEO of HUMBL LLC for a $40,000 note payable. The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock; however, it has voting rights of 10,000 votes per 1 share of stock. After the reverse merger was completed, HUMBL LLC ceased doing business, and all operations were conducted under Tesoro Enterprises, Inc. which later changed its name to HUMBL, Inc. (“HUMBL” or the “Company”).
On June 3, 2021 we acquired Tickeri, Inc. (“Tickeri”) in a debt and stock transaction totaling $20,000,000 following which Tickeri became a subsidiary of HUMBL. On January 31, 2023, the Company sold Tickeri back to the former owners and reflected the loss on disposal in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the full description of these transactions, refer to the Form 10-K filed April 6, 2023.
On June 30, 2021, we acquired Monster Creative, LLC (“Monster”). Monster is a Hollywood production studio that specializes in producing movie trailers and other related content. As part of the acquisition we entered into certain debt instruments with the founders of Monster that are in default as they were due December 31, 2022. For the full description of this transaction, refer to the Form 10-K filed April 6, 2023.
On February 12, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with BizSecure, Inc. (“BizSecure”). The Company determined this was an acquisition of a business pursuant to the guidance provided in both ASC 805 and Rule 11-01(d) of Regulation S-X. BizSecure is not considered a significant subsidiary under Regulation S-X Rule 1-02(w). The Company acquired a customer relationship with the US Air Force and BizSecure’s Mobile ID technology. The Company had issued 13,200,000 common shares and 26,800,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest quarterly commencing April 1, 2022 for a period of two years as part of this acquisition. On December 30, 2022, as a result of the Company’s failure to timely register the 13,200,000 shares of common stock issued February 12, 2022 BizSecure requested the cancellation of such shares and the 10,050,000 RSUs that vested during 2022. Pursuant to BizSecure’s request, the 13,200,000 shares of common stock and the 10,050,000 RSUs were rescinded effective December 30, 2022. The remaining 16,750,000 RSUs will continue to vest in accordance with the original terms. There is no requirement for the Company to cease using the intellectual property received in the February 12, 2022 transaction. For the full description of this transaction, refer to the Form 10-K filed April 6, 2023.
On March 3, 2022, the Company acquired Ixaya Business SA de CV, a Mexican corporation (“Ixaya”), under a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Ixaya SPA”). The acquisition of Ixaya was for $150,000 and 8,962,036 shares of common stock (a value of $1,500,000) for a total of $1,650,000. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a business combination under ASC 805, and Ixaya is not considered a significant subsidiary under Regulation S-X Rule 1-02(w).

On November 2, 2022, the Company acquired BM Authentics (“BM”), a provider of sports merchandise ranging from autographed jerseys, bats, balls, helmets, and photos for $110,000 in cash and 90,000,000 shares of common stock. These shares were issued on January 10, 2023.
On November 15, 2022 we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims (the “Release Agreement”) with Forwardly, Inc. (“Forwardly”) under which we agreed to pay Forwardly $2,200,000 in five equal monthly payments of $440,000 commencing November 15, 2022 and ending March 15, 2023. The Company and Forwardly, amended the terms of the payments whereby the Company paid the January and February 2023 payments in December 2022, and Forwardly agreed to extend the last payment to June 15, 2023. The payment is being made in connection with a warrant (the “Warrant”) that Forwardly purchased from us for $200,000 in 2020 that provided for the purchase of up to 125 million shares of our common stock of which Forwardly purchased 10 million shares for $2,000,000 in 2021. Forwardly retained the 10 million shares under the Warrant in lieu of interest on the $2,000,000 it paid to exercise that number of our shares of common stock under the Warrant.
HUMBL is a Web 3, digital commerce platform that was built to connect consumers, businesses and governments in the digital economy. HUMBL provides simple tools and packaging for complex new technologies such as blockchain, in the same way that previous cycles of e-commerce and the cloud were more simply packaged by companies such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Netflix over the past several decades. The Company through their product offerings are looking to simplify and package the digital economy for consumers, corporations and government.
The goal of HUMBL is to provide ready built tools, and platforms for consumers and merchants to seamlessly participate in the digital economy. HUMBL is built on a patent-pending, decentralized technology stack that utilizes both core and partner technologies, to provide faster connections to the digital economy and each other.
The Company is organized into two divisions: a) HUMBL Consumer and b) HUMBL Commercial. These two divisions incorporate and expand the Company’s core products and services. The majority of the Company’s operations prior to 2022 were focused on the Consumer division.
HUMBL – A Web 3 Commerce Platform
HUMBL was founded to deliver an integrated, Web 3 digital commerce platform for consumers, merchants and governments. HUMBL has delivered one of the first integrated technology environments in which a digital wallet, search engine, social media and marketplace listings can be used together by consumers in one place. The HUMBL platform is comprised of the following key components described below.
HUMBL Consumer Division
| ● | HUMBL Wallet | |
| ● | HUMBL Search Engine | |
| ● | HUMBL Tickets | |
| ● | HUMBL Marketplace | |
| ● | HUMBL Social | |
| ● | HUMBL Metaverse Stores |
HUMBL Commercial Division
| ● | HUMBL Blockchain Services |
HUMBL Wallet
The HUMBL Wallet is the centerpiece of the Web 3 consumer experience on the HUMBL platform. The HUMBL Wallet is self-custodied by the individual; ensuring that they have full control over their digital assets and private keys.
Customers can use the HUMBL Wallet to send and receive digital assets, interact on the HUMBL Social platform, perform web searches on the HUMBL Search Engine, store and manage their NFTs, consume content via MP4 multimedia player and more.
| 42 |
The HUMBL Wallet drives revenue through: a) digital asset swaps, in which the customer can use the self-custodied HUMBL digital wallet to swap from one digital asset to another on the Ethereum blockchain, and b) purchasing crypto through Sardine, a third-party service that allows customers to buy digital assets with credit cards.
The HUMBL Wallet is also connected to the BLOCKS Registry, a decentralized blockchain registry that allows customers to authenticate digital items, such as NFTs, and track the chain of custody to ensure reduced fraud, forgery and theft in the digital markets.
HUMBL Wallet customers have the obligation to perform their own tax record keeping and tracking of assets and swaps in the self-custodied wallet; as well as backup of their private keys, to ensure the recoverability, data security and storage of their digital assets.
The HUMBL Wallet is equipped with 2-factor authentication; as well as biometric security features, which are handled by the handset and its manufacturer. HUMBL does not store or have access to any biometric information related to its verified users.
The HUMBL Wallet uses SumSub, a third-party service provider, to perform KYC / KYB and authenticate customers. HUMBL does not capture or store consumers’ information on HUMBL’s servers, except for their corresponding name, wallet address and email address for basic communications with the verified user. HUMBL does not resell its customers data.
The HUMBL Wallet is available in over 130 countries and is not available in any OFAC Countries.
HUMBL Search Engine
The HUMBL Search Engine is available via the HUMBL Wallet and the HUMBL website. The HUMBL Search Engine allows customers to search for standard Web 2 content such as news, images and video search capabilities. The company also recently completed the development of its HUMBL Ads portal, which can be used to customize advertising programs for clients. This includes traditional search advertising such as display ads, location targeting and cost-per-click performance advertising.
The HUMBL Search Engine also offers Web 3 blockchain-based search features such as the ability to search major NFTs across Ethereum, Polygon, BLOCKS, Gnosis and Solana. Consumers are able to confirm that certain NFTs have been “Verified by BLOCKS” to protect against the fraud and forgery in the NFT market. The search engine also shows customers where certain NFTs are available for purchase across various marketplaces.
HUMBL Tickets
HUMBL Tickets is initially focused on the offering of secondary (resale) tickets to thousands of live events across North America. HUMBL Tickets inventory listings and ticket fulfillment are provided by Ticket Evolution and HUMBL earns a commission for each sale through its website.
The ticketing content provided on HUMBL Tickets spans across major live music, sports, festivals and events in multiple countries. HUMBL Tickets advertises its services primarily across social media, including its own HUMBL Social platform.
HUMBL is also exploring the development of primary ticketing and peer-to-peer ticketing sales via blockchain technology and dynamic QR codes, with ticket storage inside the HUMBL Wallet as future digital collectibles; along with authenticated content, ratings and reviews from ticketed events on the HUMBL Social platform via verified profiles, commemorative icons and attendance badges.
| 43 |
HUMBL Marketplace
The HUMBL Marketplace was designed to pair authenticated buyers and sellers in verified, digital commerce. The HUMBL Marketplace currently works with clients such as professional athletes, brands, and marketing and talent agencies, to provide sports merchandise ranging from autographed jerseys, bats, balls, helmets, photos and more.
The HUMBL Marketplace mitigates forgeries by pairing physical merchandise with digital certificates of registration. Merchandise is made available on the HUMBL platform and is verified, registered, and cataloged on the blockchain.
The HUMBL Marketplace also allows for the minting and listing of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as digital collectibles, that allow pre-approved individuals to monetize their digital images, multimedia content and catalogues on the blockchain.
HUMBL is a software platform and does not act as a broker, financial institution, or creditor for digital collectibles. We facilitate transactions between the buyer and seller in the auction/sale process, but we are not a party to any agreement between the buyer and seller or between any users.
HUMBL Social
HUMBL Social is one of the world’s first user-verified social media platforms. The social media platform is available via web browser and the HUMBL Wallet. The goal of HUMBL Social is to provide real people, real profiles and real merchants with a place to connect on the worldwide web.
HUMBL Social supports only verified user profiles, to ensure authenticity of the platform. This helps to reduce the fake profiles, product ratings and reviews that have plagued major Web 2 social media platforms due to the allowance of anonymous profiles and non-verified sellers. The HUMBL Social platform is available in over 130+ countries via the HUMBL Wallet and web browser.
HUMBL Metaverse Stores
HUMBL has created technology to build customized metaverse stores for brands, athletes, entertainers and celebrities. HUMBL’s first metaverse store was created for Major League Baseball player Ke’Bryan Hayes and his father Charlie Hayes, a retired Major League Baseball player. The brand metaverse store is called the “House of Hayes” and supports the development of an immersive player experience, in which customers can navigate a simulated environment of historical artwork and current digital collectibles. Custom artwork was provided by Topps “Sports Artist of the Year” Lauren Taylor, in the form of digital collectibles that rotated on screens throughout the environment. Endorsement sporting goods brands of Ke’Bryan Hayes, such as Wilson, Franklin and Old Hickory, also supported product placement and sell-through environments for products such as authentic baseball bats and gloves. An immersive Wilson Amphitheatre was also created for multimedia press conferences or media interactions with Ke’Bryan Hayes’ avatar.
HUMBL Blockchain Services
HUMBL Blockchain Services (“HBS”) was formed as part of the Company’s asset acquisition of BizSecure on February 12, 2022. Recognizing the opportunities for governments and commercial enterprises to incorporate blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (“DLT”), HBS is focused on working with clients to identify problems and develop solutions that build upon the various capabilities the Company has and continues to develop.
Our solutions enable municipalities, government agencies, and other commercial entities the ability to offer mobile IDs and other credential verification services to their constituents. We continue to make significant investments to leverage our existing technologies and further expand our DLT capabilities.
Components of the HUMBL Wallet can be used by HBS to white label a “Powered By” environment for local, state or national government clients that may want to move to digital or blockchain-based registry formats of their transactions, record keeping and / or payments from citizens, corporations, or government departments.
| 44 |
An example of this is a pilot program that HUMBL is currently developing with the County of Santa Cruz (CA), in which HUMBL and the County are working to scope the development of a digital wallet in which citizens can more easily and effectively receive government services access via digital technologies.
HUMBL Financial
HUMBL Financial was developed to package step-function technologies such as blockchain into “several clicks” for the customer.
In 2021, HUMBL Financial created BLOCK ETX products to simplify digital asset investing for customers and institutions seeking exposure to a new, 24/7 digital asset class. We have launched this product in 100 countries outside the United States. HUMBL Financial has developed proprietary, multi-factor blockchain indexes, trading algorithms and financial services for the new digital asset trading markets to accommodate index, active and thematic investment strategies. BLOCK ETXs are completely non-custodial, algorithmically driven software services that allow customers to purchase and hold digital assets in pre-set allocations through their own digital asset exchange accounts. BLOCK ETXs are compatible for United States customers who have accounts with Coinbase Pro, Bittrex US or Binance US and for non-US customers who have accounts with Bittrex Global. BLOCK ETXs were served first on the desktop and web version of the HUMBL platform, with the goal of future applications inside the HUMBL mobile application. HUMBL Financial is open to the licensing of the BLOCK ETXs to institutions and exchanges. HUMBL Financial also plans to offer trusted, third-party financial services in areas such as payments, investments, credit card services and lending across the HUMBL platform over time.
In February 2022, the Company elected to suspend offering the BLOCK ETX products pending further legal analysis regarding how to offer the BLOCK ETXs in a fully compliant manner with the evolving laws and regulatory treatment of such novel products. The Company will continue to monitor the regulatory environment with respect to these products. In accordance with ASC 205-20-50-1(a), the timing of the disposal was February 28, 2022. The Company met the criteria for the BLOCK ETX operations to be classified as held for sale at that time.

The decrease was due in large part to the reduction of production revenue from Monster offset by the sales of merchandise from our marketplace which included items form BM Authentics.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $162,800 as compared to $437,990 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $275,190. The decrease was primarily due to the direct labor attributable to Monster from the reduction in personnel and increases in our marketplace for BM Authentics. Our gross profit was reduced by 43% from 2022 to 2023 as a result of the above changes.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $4,085,809 as compared to $10,984,158 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $6,898,349. Operating expenses consists of development costs, professional fees and general and administrative expenses and non-cash charges for impairment expenses and stock-based compensation as fully described below. We expect our development costs and professional fees to continue to decrease in our next 12 months as we look to scale back on outside contract labor. Approximately 65% of our operating expenses relate to non-cash charges in 2023 and these charges comprise of approximately $2,600,000. Our non-cash charges have already declined from levels in 2022 as our stock-based compensation will be reduced and we have already impaired most of our intangible assets and all of our goodwill.
Development Costs
Development costs which consist of salaried and outsourced technical consultants for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $66,845 compared with $1,263,992 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of development costs related to the roll out of various projects such as the HUMBL Wallet and Social.
Professional Fees
Professional fees which consist of contracted individuals and companies, legal, audit and accounting costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $409,837 compared to $919,822 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in professional fees related to the professional fees incurred in regulatory filings including OTC compliance and reporting as well as increases in consultant costs in 2022 versus 2023. We expect that these costs will continue decreasing during 2023.
Settlement
The Company incurred $1,120,400 in settlement expenses which are included in our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to agreements with individuals for liabilities incurred. We incurred no settlement expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company incurred $2,531,519 in stock-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $4,074,497 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to agreements with consultants, advisors, and directors for services rendered. We expect our stock-based compensation expenses to decline in the next 12 months due to the vesting terms of such grants. The awards provided were valued in accordance with ASC 718 at fair value.
Impairment of Intangible Assets including Goodwill and Digital Assets
The Company incurred $1,008,784 in non-cash charges related to impairment of intangible assets including goodwill in 2022, and $1,995 and $45,318 in impairment of our digital assets in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The intangible asset impairment relates to the impairment on the goodwill incurred in the Ixaya acquisition. The impairment of the digital assets was based on the valuation changes in the digital assets we hold.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,075,613 compared with $2,551,487 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1,475,874 is related to the following approximate reductions in expenses as follows: advertising and business development expenses ($140,000), travel and conferences ($185,000), penalties ($400,000), salaries ($500,000), recruitment ($54,000), insurance ($25,000), amortization and depreciation expenses ($41,000), and all other general and administrative costs (approximately $130,000).
Other Income (Expense)
In the three months ended March 31, 2023 we incurred $747,276 in other expenses, compared to $1,962,618 in other expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $1,215,342. The other expenses relate to amortization of discounts of $12,408 and $1,590,897, respectively for the 2023 and 2022 periods, as well as interest expense of $272,187 and $401,272, respectively. Gain on sale of digital assets of $24 and $29,551, and a loss on conversion of convertible notes payable of $427,740 and $0 for 2023 and 2022, respectively. In 2023, we had $70,218 in derivative expenses and a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $35,253 related to convertible notes entered into during this period. We expect to incur additional other income (expense) in the next 12 months related to our debt.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
Net loss from operations from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was ($4,593,061) as compared to a net loss of ($12,527,776) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $7,934,715 decrease in the net loss was due to the changes noted herein.
Segment Reporting
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280-10 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making operating decisions.
Less than 3-4% of the Company’s sales are from outside of North America, therefore the Company has determined that segment reporting by geographic location was not necessary. In the future, the Company will continue to monitor their activity by region to determine if it is feasible to report segment information by location.
The following represents segment reporting for continuing operations only:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
During the past two years, we devoted a substantial amount of capital to build out our platform and as a result our working capital deficit and accumulated deficit have increased significantly. In addition, we have incurred significant debt from both unrelated and related parties to assist in supporting our operations.
As of March 31, 2023, we had $301,050 in cash. During the last two years we have built our platform and grew our operations by acquiring companies to support what we have just recently consolidated into HUMBL.com. The acquisitions increased our debt and our common shares issued as we spent very little cash in these acquisitions. The impact of COVID-19, supply chain issues, challenges in the cryptocurrency market and recent bank failures have had a very minimal impact on the Company’s operations.
We had a working capital deficit of $11,719,183 and $27,408,687 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The majority of our current liabilities is in the form of related party notes. The decrease in working capital is the direct result of these notes as well as the debt incurred related to the cash necessary to continue the development of our mobile wallet. A majority of the Company’s operating expenses in the past two years were the result of non-cash charges such as impairment of intangible assets including goodwill, settlement and stock-based compensation. The actual monthly cash burn of the Company is approximately $386,000 per month at this time and as our core products come online, this is likely to decrease upon our technology being completed. The Company in the three months ended March 31, 2023 received net proceeds of $791,841 from various debt financings, and has received $50,000 as a contribution from our CEO. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company received $2,000,000 in warrant exercises and $4,500,837 in related party debt proceeds, however, as a result of the operating losses and working capital deficit, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We expect that the consolidation of our platform into HUMBL.com will bring about revenue producing operations to improve the liquidity of the Company moving forward. However, going forward, the effect of our industry on the capital markets may limit our ability to raise additional capital on the terms acceptable to us at the time we need it, if at all. The additional post-COVID challenges related to remote work and travel restrictions that we as a smaller company have faced in striving to meet our disclosure obligations in a timely manner while taking the steps to protect the health and safety of our employees have impacted, and may continue to further impact, our ability to raise additional capital.
| 48 |
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for permanent and temporary differences related to income taxes, liabilities to accrue, estimates of the fair value of goodwill and determination of the fair value of stock awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Safeguarding Obligation
Assets related to user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation and the user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customers’ crypto assets in digital wallets on the Company’s platform. The Company safeguards these assets for customers and is obligated to safeguard them from loss, theft, or other misuse. The Company recognizes the users cryptocurrencies liabilities and corresponding assets related to the users cryptocurrencies, on initial recognition and at each reporting date, at fair value of the crypto assets. Any loss, theft, or misuse would impact the measurement of users crypto assets.
The majority of the cryptocurrency obligation is comprised of Bitcoin, Ethereum and BLOCKS.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in first-out method. The carrying value of inventory is evaluated periodically for excess quantities and obsolescence. Management evaluates quantities on hand and physical condition as these characteristics may be impacted by anticipated customer demand for current products. The allowance is adjusted based on such evaluation, with a corresponding provision included in cost of sales.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825 Financial Instruments requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts payable to related parties, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Digital Assets
Digital assets, including non-fungible tokens and cryptocurrencies, are included in the consolidated balance sheets. We have ownership of and control over our digital assets and may use third party custodial services to secure them. Digital assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured at cost, net of any impairment losses on our consolidated balance sheets. We assign costs to digital asset transactions on a first-in, first-out basis. Gains or losses are not recorded until realized upon sale(s).
| 49 |
We determine the fair value of our digital assets on a nonrecurring basis, based on quoted prices on the active exchange(s) that we have determined is the principal market for such assets (Level 1 inputs). We perform a quarterly, or more frequent review to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted prices on active exchanges on any day during the quarter, indicate that it is more likely than not that our digital assets are impaired.
The cost basis of digital assets will not be adjusted upward for subsequent increases in fair value. Such impairment in the value of digital assets is recorded as a component of other operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer that is within the scope of this Topic only when the five steps of revenue recognition under ASC 606 are met.
The five core principles will be evaluated for each service provided by the Company and is further supported by applicable guidance in ASC 606 to support the Company’s recognition of revenue.
The Company accounts for revenues based on the verticals in which they were earned. The three principal verticals in which the Company operates today are HUMBL Mobile Wallet, HUMBL Marketplace, and HUMBL Blockchain Services.
HUMBL Mobile Wallet (formerly HUMBL Pay)
The Company is anticipated to earn transaction revenues primarily from fees charged to consumers and merchants on a transaction basis through the Company’s mobile application. These fees may have a fixed and/or variable component. The variable component is generally a percentage of the value of the payment amount and is known at the time the transaction is processed. For a portion of our transactions, the variable component of the fee is eligible for reimbursement when the underlying transaction is approved for a refund. The Company may estimate the amount of fee refunds that will be processed each quarter and record a provision against the net revenues. The volume of activity processed on the platform, which results in transaction revenue, is referred to as Total Payment Volume (“TPV”).
The Company will earn additional fees on transactions where currency conversion is performed via on ramping and off ramping via digital currencies, when swaps are performed on digital currencies, and when cross-border transactions are enabled (i.e., transactions where the merchant and consumer are in different countries), to facilitate the instant transfer of funds for customers from their HUMBL account to their debit card or bank account, and other miscellaneous fees. The Company will rely on third party partners to perform all money transmission services.
The Company may earn revenues from other value-added services, which are comprised primarily of revenue earned through partnerships, referral fees, subscription fees, gateway fees, ticketing, peer-to-peer payments, and other services that will be provided to merchants and consumers. These contracts typically have one performance obligation which is provided and recognized over the term of the contract.
The transaction price is generally fixed and known at the end of each reporting period; however, for some agreements, it may be necessary to estimate the transaction price using the expected value method. The Company is expected to record revenue earned in revenues from other value-added services on a net basis when they are considered the agent with respect to processing transactions.
| 50 |
HUMBL Search Engine
Revenues are derived principally from the sale of advertisements, classifieds fees, and revenue sharing arrangements. Advertising revenue is derived principally from the sale of online advertisements which are based on “impressions” (i.e., the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users of our platforms) or “clicks” (which are generated each time users on our platforms click through our advertisements to an advertiser’s designated website) delivered to advertisers.
The Company uses the output method and apply the practical expedient to recognize advertising revenue in the amount to which they have a right to invoice. For contracts with target advertising commitments with rebates, estimated payout is accounted for as a variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur.
HUMBL Tickets
The Company recognizes revenues from HUMBL Tickets primarily from service fees. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we receive in exchange for those goods or services. For service fees and payment processing fees, revenue is recognized when the ticket is sold.
We evaluate whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon our evaluation of whether we obtain control of the specified goods or services by considering if we are primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, have inventory risk, and have the latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors.
For the payment processing service, we determined that we are the principal in providing the service as we responsible for fulfilling the promise to process the payment and we have discretion and latitude in establishing the price of our service. Based on our assessment, we record revenue on a net basis related to our ticketing service and on a gross basis related to our payment processing service. As a result, costs incurred for processing the transactions are included in cost of net revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue is presented net of indirect taxes, value-added taxes, creator royalties and reserves for customer refunds, payment chargebacks and estimated uncollectible amounts. If an event is cancelled by a creator, then any obligations to provide refunds to event attendees are the responsibility of that creator.
If a creator is unwilling or unable to fulfill their refund obligations, we may, at our discretion, provide attendee refunds. Revenue is also presented net of the amortization of creator signing fees when applicable. The benefit we receive by securing exclusive ticketing and payment processing rights with certain creators from creator signing fees is inseparable from the customer relationship with the creator and accordingly these fees are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
HUMBL Marketplace
The Company recognizes revenue when they transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Net transaction revenues
The net transaction revenues will primarily include final value fees, feature fees, including fees to promote listings, and listing fees from sellers in our Marketplace. The net transaction revenues will also include store subscription and other fees often from large enterprise sellers. The net transaction revenues are reduced by incentives provided to customers.
The Company has identified one performance obligation to sellers on the Marketplace platform, which is to connect buyers and sellers on the secure and trusted Marketplace platforms. Final value fees are recognized when an item is sold on a Marketplace platform, satisfying this performance obligation. There may be additional services available to Marketplace sellers, mainly to promote or feature listings, that are not distinct within the context of the contract.
| 51 |
Accordingly, fees for these additional services are recognized when the single performance obligation is satisfied. Promoted listing fees are recognized when the item is sold and feature and listing fees are recognized when an item is sold, or when the contract expires.
Further, to drive traffic to the platform, the Company will provide incentives to buyers and sellers in various forms including discounts on fees, discounts on items sold, coupons and rewards. Evaluating whether a promotion or incentive is a payment to a customer may require significant judgment. Promotions and incentives which are consideration payable to a customer are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is paid or promise to be paid. Promotions and incentives to most buyers on our Marketplace platforms, to whom there is no performance obligation, are recognized as sales and marketing expense. In addition, there may be credits provided to customers when certain fees are refunded. Credits are accounted for as variable consideration at contract inception when estimating the amount of revenue to be recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and updated as additional information becomes available.
HUMBL Blockchain Services
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into product revenues and services revenues.
Product revenue related contracts with customers begin upon contract inception when a purchase order for a specific customer order of a product to be delivered in the near term. These purchase orders are short-term in nature. Product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product, depending on shipping terms. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of goods as transfer of control typically occurs upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product.
Service revenues primarily consist of revenues derived from maintenance support and the use of the Company’s service platforms and application programming interface (“APIs”) on a subscription basis. The Company generates this revenue from fees for maintenance and support, monthly active user fees, SaaS fees, and hosting and storage fees. In most cases, the subscription or transaction arrangement is a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The Company applies a time-based measure of progress to the total transaction price, which results in ratable recognition over the term of the contract. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the customer obtains equal benefit from the service throughout the service period.
The Company accounts for individual goods and services separately if they are distinct performance obligations, which often requires significant judgment based upon knowledge of the products and/or services, the solution provided and the structure of the sales contract. In SaaS agreements, the Company provides a service to the customer that combines the software functionality, maintenance and hosting into a single performance obligation. In product-related contracts, a purchase order may cover different products, each constituting a separate performance obligation.
Impact of Cryptocurrency Bankruptcies
In November 2022, both FTX Trading and BlockFi filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. These bankruptcies have impacted several companies either directly or indirectly. Customers of the HUMBL Pay app use our platform to hold their cryptocurrency. Assets related to user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation and the user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customers’ crypto assets in digital wallets on the Company’s platform. The Company safeguards these assets for customers and is obligated to safeguard them from loss, theft, or other misuse. The Company recognizes the users cryptocurrencies liabilities and corresponding assets related to the users cryptocurrencies, on initial recognition and at each reporting date, at fair value of the crypto assets. Any loss, theft, or misuse would impact the measurement of users crypto assets.
The majority of the cryptocurrency obligation is comprised of Bitcoin, Ethereum and BLOCKS.
We do not, nor have we ever used either of these exchanges to conduct business. We have not been impacted by these bankruptcies. And we continue to monitor the industry and protect our customers’ assets.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
