consisted of $906,743 of interest expense, offset by a gain on disposal of property of equipment of $32,747 and other income of $318,
while other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted of loss on adjustment shares of $757,792 and interest expense
of $45,121, offset by a gain on forgiveness of debt of $360,302. Income
tax expense .  We had an income tax expense of $123,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $0
for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net
loss from continuing operations . As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss from continuing
operations was $927,208 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $853,992 for the three months ended March
31, 2021. Liquidity
and Capital Resources As
of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,638,924. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue
generated from operations, cash proceeds from financing activities, borrowings, and equity contributions by our shareholders. Although
we do not believe that we will require additional cash to continue our operations over the next twelve months, we do believe additional
funds are required to execute our business plan and our strategy of acquiring additional businesses. The funds required to execute our
business plan will depend on the size, capital structure and purchase price consideration that the seller of a target business deems
acceptable in a given transaction. The amount of funds needed to execute our business plan also depends on what portion of the purchase
price of a target business the seller of that business is willing to take in the form of seller notes or our equity or equity in one
of our subsidiaries. Given these factors, we believe that the amount of outside additional capital necessary to execute our business
plan on the low end (assuming target company sellers accept a significant portion of the purchase price in the form of seller notes or
our equity or equity in one of our subsidiaries) ranges between $100,000 to $250,000. If, and to the extent, that sellers are unwilling
to accept a significant portion of the purchase price in seller notes and equity, then the cash required to execute our business plan
could be as much as $5,000,000 . We will seek growth as funds become available from cash flow, borrowings, additional capital raised
privately or publicly, or seller retained financing. 27 Our
primary use of funds will be for future acquisitions, public company expenses including regular distributions to our shareholders, investments
in future acquisitions, payments to the Manager pursuant to the management services agreement, potential payment of profit allocation
to the Manager and potential put price to the Manager in respect of the allocation shares it owns. The management fee, expenses, potential
profit allocation and potential put price are paid before distributions to shareholders and may be significant and exceed the funds we
hold, which may require us to dispose of assets or incur debt to fund such expenditures. See Item 1. “Business—Our Manager”
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information concerning the management fee, the
profit allocation and put price. The
amount of management fee paid to the Manager by us is reduced by the aggregate amount of any offsetting management fees, if any, received
by the Manager from any of our businesses. As a result, the management fee paid to the Manager may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
The amount of management fee paid to the Manager may represent a significant cash obligation. In this respect, the payment of the management
fee will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to shareholders. The
Manager, as holder of 100% of our allocation shares, is entitled to receive a twenty percent (20%) profit allocation as a form of preferred
equity distribution, subject to an annual hurdle rate of eight percent (8%), as follows. Upon the sale of a company subsidiary, the Manager
will be paid a profit allocation if the sum of (i) the excess of the gain on the sale of such subsidiary over a high water mark plus
(ii) the subsidiary’s net income since its acquisition by the Company exceeds the 8% hurdle rate. The 8% hurdle rate is the product
of (i) a 2% rate per quarter, multiplied by (ii) the number of quarters such subsidiary was held by the Company, multiplied by (iii)
the subsidiary’s average share (determined based on gross assets, generally) of our consolidated net equity (determined according
to United States generally accepted accounting principles with certain adjustments). In certain circumstances, after a subsidiary has
been held for at least 5 years, the Manager may also trigger a profit allocation with respect to such subsidiary (determined based solely
on the subsidiary’s net income since its acquisition). The amount of profit allocation may represent a significant cash payment
and is senior in right to payments of distributions to our shareholders. Therefore, the amount of profit allocation paid, when paid,
will reduce the amount of cash available to us for our operating and investing activities, including future acquisitions. See Item 1.
“Business—Our Manager—Our Manager as an Equity Holder—Manager’s Profit Allocation” included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information on the calculation of the profit allocation. Our
operating agreement also contains a supplemental put provision, which gives the Manager the right, subject to certain conditions, to
cause us to purchase the allocation shares then owned by the Manager upon termination of the management services agreement. The amount
of put price under the supplemental put provision is determined by assuming all of our subsidiaries are sold at that time for their fair
market value and then calculating the amount of profit allocation would be payable in such a case. If the management services agreement
is terminated for any reason other than the Manager’s resignation, the payment to the Manager could be as much as twice the amount
of such hypothetical profit allocation. As is the case with profit allocation, the calculation of the put price is complex and based
on many factors that cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. See Item 1. “Business—Our Manager—Our Manager
as an Equity Holder—Supplemental Put Provision” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2021 for more information on the calculation of the put price. The put price obligation, if the Manager exercises its put right, will
represent a significant cash payment and is senior in right to payments of distributions to our shareholders. Therefore, the amount of
put price will reduce the amount of cash available to us for our operating and investing activities, including future acquisitions. Summary
