NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business and organization
BioSig Technologies, Inc. was initially incorporated on February 24, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada and subsequently re-incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2011. The Company is principally devoted to improving the standard care in electrophysiology with our PURE EP System’s enhanced signal acquisition, digital signal processing, and analysis during ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. The Company has generated minimal revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in business enterprises in early commercialization stage.
On November 7, 2018, the Company formed a subsidiary under the laws of the State of Delaware originally under the name of NeuroClear Technologies, Inc. which was renamed to ViralClear Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ViralClear”) in March 2020. The subsidiary was established to pursue additional applications of the PURE EP™ signal processing technology outside of cardiac electrophysiology, and subsequently in 2020, was repurposed to develop merimepodib, a broad-spectrum anti-viral agent that showed potential for the treatment of COVID-19. Since late 2020, ViralClear has been realigned with its original objective of pursuing additional applications of the PURE EP™ signal processing technology outside of cardiac electrophysiology.
In
2019 and 2020, ViralClear sold an aggregate of shares of its common stock to investors for net proceeds of $
On
July 2, 2020, the Company formed an additional subsidiary, NeuroClear Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was renamed to
BioSig AI Sciences, Inc. (“BioSig AI”) on May 31, 2023. The subsidiary was established to pursue clinical needs of cardiac
and neurological disorders through recordings and analyses of action potentials. BioSig AI aims to contribute to the advancements of
AI-based diagnoses and therapies. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a majority interest in BioSig AI of
On
January 28, 2024 and February 20, 2024, management of the Company commenced a workforce reduction intended to reduce significantly the
annual cash burn which was completed as of February 20, 2024. The workforce reduction consisted of the departure of sixteen employees,
effective as of January 31, 2024 and included the departure of John Sieckhaus, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and Gray
Fleming, the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer and twenty-six employees effective February 20, 2024. The effect of the workforce
reductions has significantly reduced operations in the short term. In connection with workforce reduction, the Company issued an aggregate
of shares of common stock with a fair value of $
On
March 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) stating that
the Company has not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the Company’s common stock did not meet the minimum
bid price of $per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company is not eligible for a second
180 day cure period under Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(2) because the Company does not comply with the $
On March 12, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that based upon the Staff’s review of the Company and pursuant to Listing Rule 5101, the Staff believes that the Company no longer has an operating business and is a “public shell,” and that the continued listing of its securities is no longer warranted, in view of work force reductions and resignations of members of the board of directors and officers (see below).

The
letter further stated that the Company no longer meets the requirement of Rule 5550(b)(2) to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed
Securities of $
The Staff stated that the foregoing matters serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market, and that the Hearings Panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company appealed the foregoing determinations. The requested hearing before the Hearings Panel was held on May 7, 2024 and results are pending as of May 17, 2024. The Company believes we have met all requirements except for the shareholder equity requirement which it expects to meet shortly. The delisting results are pending the Company meeting requirements.
Delisting from Nasdaq Stock Market could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise additional financing to fund future operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BioSig Technologies, Inc., and its majority owned subsidiaries, ViralClear and BioSig AI.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited financial statements.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Company’s Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2024.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As
of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from sale of equity securities and issuance of debt. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future.
The Company’s plans include the continued commercialization of the PURE EP System and other applications of our core technology and raising capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. The Company’s strategic shift to potentially hiring a team of an additional 4-6 persons to execute a business development strategy of finding partners for the commercialization of PURE EP, develop new products in the field of Pulse Field Ablation and to continue to integrate PURE EP into today’s lab equipment will allow the Company to significantly reduce operating expenses.
The Company will require additional financing to fund future operations. Further, although the Company began commercial operations, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to fund operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing research and development will be successfully completed or that any additional products will be commercially viable.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
Reverse Stock Split
On
January 31, 2024, the Company filed a Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective February
2, 2024. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, the Company effected a
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of its medical device, the PURE EP™ System, and well as related support and maintenance services and software upgrade rentals in connection with the system.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) for lease components and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for non-lease components. For medical device sales and software rentals, the Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606.
The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Under ASC 606, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:
| ● | Identify the contract with the customer; |
| ● | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Determine the transaction price; |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and |
| ● | Recognize revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. |
| 10 |
BIOSIG TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
(unaudited)
Performance obligations are the units of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer. If the Company determines that it has not satisfied a performance obligation, it will defer recognition of the revenue until the performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied. Once the PURE EP Platform is delivered, installed, and accepted by the customer, our performance obligation is recognized. Support, maintenance, and software upgrade rentals are performance obligations over a defined period and are recognized ratably over the contractual service period. Customers typically purchase these services with the initial sale of the PURE EP Platform and do not have the right to terminate their contracts unless we fail to perform material obligations.
The Company may execute more than one contract with a single customer. If so, it is evaluated whether the agreements were negotiated as a package with a single objective, whether the amount of consideration to be paid in one agreement depends on the price and/or performance of another agreement, or whether the goods or services promised in the agreements represent a single performance obligation. The conclusions reached can impact the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation and the timing of revenue recognition related to those arrangements.
The Company records accounts receivable for amounts invoiced to customers for which the Company has an unconditional right to consideration as provided under the contractual arrangement. Unbilled receivables, if any, include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Deferred revenue includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Our unbilled receivables and deferred revenue are reported on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Unbilled receivables are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to bill the customer. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue.
The Company’s unconditional right to consideration for goods and services transferred to the customer is included in accounts receivable, net (if any) in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
In
2022, the Company entered two leases for our PURE EP Platform at a rate of $
In 2023, the Company entered into a one-year lease for software upgrade. The Company accounts for the lease in accordance with ASC 606.
The
Company determined the leases meet the criteria of a sales-type lease whereby the present value of the future expected revenue (less
the present value of the estimated unguaranteed residual value), cost of sales and profit and loss are recognized at the lease inception.
Non-lease components are recognized under ASC 606. The discount rate utilized was the contract explicit rate of

Deferred Costs (Contract acquisition costs)
The Company capitalizes initial and renewal sales commissions in the period the commission is earned, which generally occurs when a customer contract is obtained, and amortize deferred commission costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we have deemed to be the contract term. As a practical expedient, the Company expenses sales commissions as incurred when the amortization period of related deferred commission costs would have been one year or less.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company adjusts accounts receivable down to net realizable value with its allowance methodology. In determining the allowance for doubtful
accounts for estimated losses, aged receivables are analyzed periodically by management. Each identified receivable is reviewed based
upon historical collection experience, financial condition of the customer and the status of any open or unresolved issues with the customer
preventing the payment thereof. Corrective action, if necessary, is taken by the Company to resolve open issues related to unpaid receivables.
The allowance for doubtful accounts was $
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and
cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts
may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deposits in excess of FDIC limits were $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

BIOSIG TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
(unaudited)
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Prepaid Expenses and Vendor Deposits
Prepaid expenses and vendor deposits are comprised of prepaid insurance, operating expenses and other prepayments.
Leases (lessee)
The Company determines if a contractual arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company evaluates and classifies leases as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option which result in an economic penalty. All the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
The lease payments included in the present value are fixed lease payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at the commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company applies the portfolio approach in applying discount rates to its classes of leases. The operating lease ROU assets include any payments made before the commencement date. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not currently have subleases. The Company does not currently have residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants in its leases.
Leases (lessor)
The Company classifies contractual lease arrangements entered as a lessor as a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease as described in ASC 842-Leases. For sales-type leases, the Company derecognizes the leased asset and recognizes the lease investment on the balance sheet.
Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company recognizes an impairment of long-lived assets used in operations, other than goodwill, when events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their remaining lives are less than the carrying amount of those items. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value, which is typically calculated using the discounted cash flow method.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company re-assessed it’s carrying amounts of certain property and equipment due to reduced
manufacturing of its commercial products and determined that these carrying amounts exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a $
The Company did not recognize and record any impairments of long-lived assets used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Research and Development Costs
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research
and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred.
Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed
when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs
related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses
of $
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Income Taxes
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.

Business Overview
BioSig Technologies is a medical device company with an advanced digital signal processing technology platform to deliver insights to the treatment of cardiovascular arrhythmias. Through collaboration with physicians, experts, and healthcare leaders across the field of electrophysiology (EP), we are committed to addressing healthcare’s biggest priorities — saving time, saving costs, and saving lives.
Our first product, the PURE EP™ System, is an FDA 510(k) cleared non-invasive class II device consisting of a unique combination of hardware and software designed to provide unprecedented signal clarity and precision for real-time visualization of intracardiac signals paving the way for personalized patient care. Integrating with existing systems in the EP lab, PURE EP™ is designed to accurately pinpoint even the most complex signals to maximize procedural success and efficiency.
By capturing critical cardiac signals—even the most complex, the PURE EP™ System is designed to enhance clinical decision-making and improve clinical workflow for all types of arrhythmias - even the most challenging procedures for cardiac arrhythmias, like ventricular tachycardia (VT) and atrial fibrillation (AF).
Our owned patent portfolio now includes 36 (issued/allowed) issued utility patents (24 utility patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Twenty five additional U.S. and foreign utility patent applications are pending covering various aspects of our PURE EP System for recording, measuring, calculating and displaying of electrocardiograms during cardiac ablation procedures (25 U.S. and foreign utility patent applications where either BioSig, Mayo, or both is at least one of the applicants). We also have one U.S. patent and one U.S. Pending application directed to artificial intelligence (AI). We also have 30 issued worldwide design patents, which cover various features of our display screens and graphical user interface for enhanced visualization of biomedical signals (30 design patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Finally, we have licenses to 12 (issued/allowed) patents and 9 additional worldwide utility patent applications from Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research that are pending (12 issued/allowed patents and 9 applications where only Mayo is the applicant). These patents and applications are generally directed to electroporation and stimulation.

Notices of Delisting
On March 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) stating that the Company has not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the Company’s common stock did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company is not eligible for a second 180 day cure period under Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(2) because the Company does not comply with the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market, and that accordingly, Nasdaq would delist the Company’s common stock unless the Company requested an appeal of this determination. On March 11, 2024, the Company submitted a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination.
On March 12, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that based upon the Staff’s review of the Company and pursuant to Listing Rule 5101, the Staff believes that the Company no longer has an operating business and is a “public shell,” and that the continued listing of its securities is no longer warranted, in view of work force reductions and resignations of members of the board of directors and officers (see below).
The letter further stated that the Company no longer meets the requirement of Rule 5550(b)(2) to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities of $35 million, if none of the other standards set forth in Rule 5550(b) is met.
The Staff stated that the foregoing matters serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market, and that the Hearings Panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company appealed the foregoing determinations. The requested hearing before the Hearings Panel was held on May 7, 2024 and results are pending as of May 17, 2024.
On May 6, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that the Company has regained compliance with the bid price requirements in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the bid price of the common stock closed at or above $1.00 per share for a period of 20 consecutive business days, from April 8, 2024 to May 3, 2024.
Delisting from Nasdaq Stock Market could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise additional financing to fund future operations.
Private Placement:
On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 783,406 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.4605 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 391,703 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.398 per share, that will become exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five and one-half years following the date of issuance, in exchange for aggregate consideration of $1,144,164, including $634,999 in cash and $509,165 representing conversion of the principal balance of and accrued interest on the previously issued related party note payable. The note was not convertible by its terms, but the holder has agreed to convert it into shares of common stock and warrants under the Purchase Agreement as described above. (See Note 8).

Results of Operations (000’s)
We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, such as the progress of our research and development and commercialization efforts, the timing and outcome of future regulatory submissions and uncertainty around the current pandemic. Due to these uncertainties, accurate predictions of future operations are difficult or impossible to make.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 (000’s)
Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $14, comprised of recognized service revenue, as compared to $5, comprised of recognized service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
We derive our revenue primarily from the sale of our medical device, PURE EP Platform, as well as related support and maintenance services and software upgrades in connection with the device.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases for lease components and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for non-lease components. For medical device sales, we recognize revenue under ASC 606.
The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $238, a decrease of $824, or 77.6%, from $1,062 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in payroll, consulting, Data/AI development and research and clinical studies and design work to $213 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $1,001 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily in the BioSig Technologies segment, a decrease of $788 or 78.7%.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $2882, a decrease of $3,363 or 53.9%, from $6,245 incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in employee and service provider (stock-based) performance pay in the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year and additional service provider fees paid.
Payroll related expenses decreased to $541 in the current period from $2,086 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $1,545, or 74.1%. The decrease was primarily due to reduced staff in commercialization, sales and general and administration in the BioSig Technologies segment. We incurred $1,119 in stock-based compensation in connection with the vesting of stock and stock options issued to board members, officers, employees and consultants for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $2,044 in stock-based compensation for the same period in 2023.
Professional services for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $262, a decrease of $160, or 37.9%, over the $422 recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Accounting fees incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $49, a decrease of $27, or 35.5%, from $76 incurred in same period last year.

Consulting, public and investor relations fees for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $225 as compared to $945 incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $720, or 76.2%. The decrease primarily related to a reduction in investor relations, marketing and consulting during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period, last year.
Travel, meals and entertainment costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $29, a decrease of $170, or 85.4%, from $199 incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Travel, meals and entertainment costs include travel related to business development and financing. The decrease in 2024 was due to staff reductions in 2024 as compared to 2022.

Impairment of Long Term Assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company r
