Risks

• Substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses, significant accumulated deficit, and negative cash flow from operations.
• Inability to secure additional financing when needed or on acceptable terms could force reductions in spending, extended payment terms, or suspension of commercialization activities.
• Material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including lack of defined policies for financial close, absence of a representative with financial expertise, inadequate accounting systems, and poor segregation of duties.
• Reliance on related party transactions, including outstanding payables and receivables with the CEO and other related entities.
• Exposure to foreign currency translation adjustments, which resulted in a $(93,669) foreign exchange loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
• Uncertainty regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, leading to a full valuation allowance.

Future Outlook

Management plans to raise additional equity financing and borrow funds under a private credit facility and/or other credit sources to address the going concern uncertainty. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or on acceptable terms, which could force spending reductions or curtailment of commercialization activities.

Management Comments

• Managements plans in regard to this matter include raising additional equity financing and borrowing funds under a private credit facility and/or other credit sources.
• There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or on acceptable terms.
• We believe these actions will remediate the material weaknesses by focusing additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions.
• The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Industry Context

DLT Resolution operates in the telecommunications, data services, and health information exchange sectors. The company's current financial struggles, marked by recurring losses and a going concern warning, suggest it is facing significant challenges in these competitive high-tech industries. The increase in general and administrative expenses for accounting and audit services indicates a focus on compliance and operational cleanup, which may be a necessary step before it can effectively compete or grow within its target markets.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Significant dilution from ongoing common stock issuances for cash and services. Risk of further value erosion due to recurring losses and going concern uncertainty. Potential for increased value if capital raise and operational improvements are successful.
• Creditors: Risk associated with the company's going concern status and accumulated deficit. Related party notes payable are unsecured and due on demand.
• Employees/Management: Continued employment and compensation (including stock for services) are tied to the company's ability to secure financing and improve operations. Increased workload for accounting personnel due to backlog and internal control remediation efforts.
• Customers: Potential impact on service continuity or quality if the company faces severe financial distress or is forced to curtail operations.

Next Steps

• Raise additional equity financing.
• Borrow funds under a private credit facility and/or other credit sources.
• Create and refine a structure for identifying critical accounting policies and estimates, subject to multiple reviews.
• Enhance and test month-end and year-end financial close processes.
• Increase review of disclosure controls and procedures by the audit committee.
• Develop and implement policies and procedures for the financial close and reporting process, including roles, responsibilities, methodologies, and review/approval.
• Designate individuals responsible for identifying reportable developments.
• Address material weaknesses in internal controls, including hiring a representative with financial expertise and improving accounting systems and segregation of duties.
• Continue with the Joint Venture Agreement with GMTI for international wholesale auto trade.

Key Dates

Recommendation

The company exhibits severe financial distress, evidenced by recurring and significantly widening net losses from continuing operations, negative operating cash flow, and an explicit 'going concern' warning. While a recent capital raise improved cash on hand, it was primarily used to offset operational burn and does not address the fundamental profitability issues. The identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting further undermine investor confidence and suggest significant operational and governance risks. The reliance on future, unassured capital raises to sustain operations, coupled with substantial dilution from ongoing stock issuances, makes the stock a high-risk investment with a strong likelihood of further value depreciation.
