Quarterly Financial Data - Unaudited
NOTE 20 – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA – UNAUDITED
The following tables present the impacts of the restatement adjustments, as described in NOTE 2 Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2023, which have not previously been presented and have not been restated, are also presented here. This quarterly information has been prepared on the same basis as the Consolidated Financial Statements and includes all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information for the interim periods presented for which the unaudited quarterly financial statements have been restated that management considers necessary for a fair presentation when read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes. We believe these comparisons of consolidated quarterly selected financial data are not necessarily indicative of future performance.
In addition to the corrections summarized in NOTE 2 Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements, the accounting treatments corrected in the unaudited restated quarterly financial statements include the following:
CIC Services Agreement Adjustment
– Corrections of an error to each affected period were recorded based on the settlement of the MSA through services provided or cash settlement.
2022 Warrant Issuance Adjustment –
A correction of an error was made to reclassify from Equity to Derivative Financial Instrument as described in NOTE 2 Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements.
37North Adjustment
– Management determined that the Share Settled Redemption Feature within the 37N Note is an embedded derivative and should be measured at fair value, with the difference between the fair value of the Share Settled Redemption Feature and the proceeds received from the issuance of the Note allocated to the Note. Then, for subsequent measurements, the Note should be measured at accreted value using the interest method and the Share Settled Redemption Feature is measured at fair value each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings. A correction of an error was made to record the fair value of the Share Settled Redemption Feature separately as a derivative liability financial instrument related to the 37N Note of $423,696 at June 30, 2023.
Monaco Note Payable Adjustmen
t - A correction of an error was made to Equity to record subsequent changes in fair value of $311,123 in March 2022.
Seller Note Adjustment
– Management determined that the Seller Note should have been recorded in notes payable-long term at March 31, 2023. Management reclassified $931,425 at March 31, 2023 from short-term Loan Payable to long-term Loan Payable.
Capitalization of ROV Expense adjustment
– The Company capitalized refurbishments costs of its Retriever asset that were previously expensed of $510,402 and $287,865 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023, respectively.
