As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss from continuing operations was $3,721,157 for the year
ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $1,820,138 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $1,383,533. 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. 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 our manager
pursuant to the management services agreement, potential payment of profit allocation to our manager and potential put price to our 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. Item 1 “ Business—Our Manager ” for more information concerning the management
fee, the profit allocation and put price. The amount of management fee paid to our manager
by us is reduced by the aggregate amount of any offsetting management fees, if any, received by our manager from any of our businesses.
As a result, the management fee paid to our manager may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The amount of management fee paid to our 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. 84 Our 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 subsidiary, our 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 us 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 us, multiplied by (iii) the subsidiary’s average share (determined based on gross
assets, generally) of our consolidated net equity (determined according to GAAP with certain adjustments). In certain circumstances, after
a subsidiary has been held for at least 5 years, our 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 ” for
more information on the calculation of the profit allocation. Our operating agreement also contains a supplemental
put provision, which gives our manager the right, subject to certain conditions, to cause us to purchase the allocation shares then owned
by our 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 our manager’s
resignation, the payment to our 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 ”
for more information on the calculation of the put price. The put price obligation, if our 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 of Cash Flow The following table provides detailed information
