Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing consolidated financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of intangible assets, the fair value of debt and equity instruments, income taxes and determination of standalone selling prices in contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not may Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, December 31, 2021, Going Concern For all annual and interim periods, management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one The Company has generated losses since its inception and has relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, the sale of a note, proceeds from the sale of common stock, proceeds from the private sale of the Company’s non-core subsidiaries, proceeds from note receivables, debt financings and a public offering of its common stock to support cash flow from operations.
