EXPLANATORY NOTE

Restatement Background

In connection with the Company’s preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for its second quarter, the Company’s management and Audit Committee relied upon the report issued by a third-party valuation firm to determine the carrying value of the promissory note the Company had received from SPYR Technologies, Inc. (the “SPYR Note”), in connection with the Company’s sale of the assets of its GeoTraq, Inc. subsidiary to SPYR Technologies, Inc. in the second quarter of the Company’s 2022 fiscal year. The accounting treatment for the SPYR Note had financial statement implications to (i) two line items in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (specifically, Note receivable, net and Accumulated deficit), (ii) two line items in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations And Comprehensive Income (Loss) (specifically, Gain on sale of GeoTraq, and Interest expense, net), resulting in a decrease in net income of approximately $1.8 million and a decrease in net loss of approximately $93,000 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and October 1, 2022, respectively, and (iii) two line items in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (specifically, Gain on sale of GeoTraq and Accretion of note receivable discount), resulting in decrease in net income of approximately $1.8 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022, and $1.7 million for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022. Further, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for this quarterly period, the Company also received guidance from an additional third-party source in connection with the review of those unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. However, in connection with the Company’s 2022 fiscal year-end audit and the preparation of its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for that fiscal year, the Company’s management and the Audit Committee concluded that the carrying value of the SPYR Note, as set forth in the aforementioned Quarterly Reports, should be restated. The initial carrying value of $11.2 million should be restated to be $9.4 million and reflect carrying value of $9.6 million as of October 1, 2022. This quarterly restatement has an impact on net income (loss), but not on operating cash flows for any period.

Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

This amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, as well as relevant unaudited interim pro forma financial information for the quarterly periods ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021.

See Note 3 Restatements and Reclassifications; Note 7 Notes Receivable; Note 19 Loss Per Share; Note 22 Segment Information; and Note 25 Sale of GeoTraq in Part I. Financial Information Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for such restated information on the quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for this second quarter of the Company’s 2022 fiscal year. Further, the gain associated with the GeoTraq disposition (Technology segment) has been restated and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 1, 2022. As such, the results of the Technology segment have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 2, 2021.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 1: Background

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JanOne Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “JanOne”).

The Company has three operating segments – Biotechnology, Recycling, and Technology. In connection with the sale of GeoTraq (see Note 25), the accounts for the Technology segment have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

During September 2019, JanOne, through its biotechnology segment, broadened its business perspectives to become a pharmaceutical company focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive pain-relieving properties.

ARCA Recycling, Inc. (“ARCA Recycling”) is the Company’s Recycling segment and provides turnkey recycling services for electric utility energy efficiency programs in the United States. ARCA Canada Inc. (“ARCA Canada”) provides turnkey recycling services for electric utility energy efficiency programs in Canada. Customer Connexx, LLC (“Connexx”) provides call center services for ARCA Recycling and ARCA Canada. On February 19, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with (i) ARCA Affiliated Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (ii) ARCA Services Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (iii) Connexx Services Inc, a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Buyers agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets, and assume certain liabilities, of ARCA Recycling and Connexx (the “Disposition Transaction”). The principal of the Buyers is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. On November 14, 2021, the parties entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement, which provided for the immediate termination of the transactions proposed by the Purchase Agreement and for an amendment for the Buyers to pay to us a “break fee.” The break fee was amended to an aggregate of $100,000, payable in two $50,000 installments: (i) the first of which is due to be paid on or around August 12, 2022 (the one-year anniversary of the Recycling Sale Agreement and which at the time of filing has not yet been paid) and (ii) the second of which is due to be paid not later than the last day of our next fiscal year, which is December 31, 2022. However, if, prior to the date on which either installment of the amended break fee is payable, we sell ARCA Recycling, ARCA Canada, and Connexx to an otherwise unaffiliated third party for an aggregate amount less than $25 million, then the Buyers will be relieved of their obligation to pay to us any not-yet-then-due installment of the break fee. Additionally, if, prior to the date on which the second installment of the amended break fee is payable, we have not sold ARCA Recycling, ARCA Canada, and Connexx to any third party, then the Buyers will be relieved of their obligation to pay to us the second installment of the break fee. Finally, if, prior to a date on which either installment of the amended break fee is due, we sell ARCA Recycling, ARCA Canada, and Connexx to the Buyers, then, the purchase price therefore will be reduced by an amount equivalent to any break fee that had been previously paid to us by the Buyers and the Buyers shall also be relieved of their obligation to pay to us any not-yet-due installment of the break fee.

GeoTraq Inc. (“GeoTraq”) was the Company’s Technology segment. The Company suspended all operations for GeoTraq during the year ended January 1, 2022. On May 24, 2022, the Company sold substantially all of the GeoTraq assets (see Note 25).

The Company reports on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year. The Company’s 2021 fiscal year (“2021”) ended on January 1, 2022, and the current fiscal year (“2022”) will end on December 31, 2022.

Going concern (Restated)

The Company currently faces a challenging competitive environment and is focused on improving its overall profitability, which includes managing expenses. The Company reported a net loss of approximately $2.0 million and a net loss of approximately $968,000 for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively, and net income of approximately $8.1 million and a net loss of approximately $5.4 million for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively. In addition, as of October 1, 2022, the Company has total current assets of approximately $9.4 million and total current liabilities of approximately $23.8 million resulting in a net negative working capital of approximately $14.5 million.

The Company has available cash balances and funds available under its credit facility with Gulf Coast Bank and Trust (“Gulf Coast”) to provide sufficient liquidity to fund the entity’s operations and remodeling activities for at least the next twelve months. However, the Company cannot be certain its efforts will suffice. The agreement with Gulf Coast allows the Company to obtain lending in the amount of the lesser of $7.0 million or its calculated borrowing base (see Note 16 below). The Company expects that it will be able to utilize the available funds under the credit facility to provide liquidity and to pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to expand and grow the business to enhance shareholder value. Management also regularly monitors capital market conditions to ensure no other conditions or events exist that may materially affect the Company’s financial conditions and liquidity and the Company may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities, if necessary.

As of January 1, 2022, the Company had recorded a full impairment of the GeoTraq intangible asset. On May 24, 2022, the Company sold substantially all of the GeoTraq assets, as discussed in Note 25 below.

Based on the above, management has concluded that, as of October 1, 2022, the Company is not aware of, and did not identify, any other conditions or events that would cause the Company to not be able to continue business as a going concern for the next twelve months.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the Company’s results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumption that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimated reserve for doubtful current and long-term trade and other receivables, the estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, estimated fair value and forfeiture rates for stock-based compensation, fair values in connection with the analysis of other intangibles and long-lived assets for impairment, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and estimated useful lives for intangible assets and property and equipment.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, notes receivable, and obligations under accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term debt is calculated based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements, unless quoted market prices were available (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amounts of short-term debt at October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022 approximate fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Fair value of cash equivalents approximates carrying value.

Trade Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company carries unsecured trade receivables at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts based on a monthly review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. The

Company writes off trade receivables when deemed uncollectible. The Company records recoveries of trade receivables previously written off when payment is received. The Company considers a trade receivable to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than ninety days. The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables. The Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts as of October 1, 2022 or January 1, 2022.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of appliances, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a specific identification basis, or net realizable value. The Company provides estimated provisions for the obsolescence of appliance inventories, including adjustment to market, based on various factors, including the age of such inventory and management’s assessment of the need for such provisions. We look at historical inventory aging reports and margin analyses in determining our provision estimate. A revised cost basis is used once a provision for obsolescence is recorded. The Company has no reserve for excess or obsolete inventory as of October 1, 2022 or January 1, 2022.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and additions and improvements that significantly extend the lives of assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful life of building and improvements is 3 to 30 years, transportation equipment is 3 to 15 years, machinery and equipment is 5 to 10 years, furnishings and fixtures is 3 to 5 years and office and computer equipment is 3 to 5 years.

The Company periodically reviews property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable or their depreciation or amortization periods should be accelerated. We assess recoverability based on several factors, including our intention with respect to maintaining our facilities and projected discounted cash flows from operations. An impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value, as approximated by the present value of their projected discounted cash flows.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Under ASC 350, intangible assets subject to amortization, shall be reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.

Under ASC 360, long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances (‘triggering event’) indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In making this determination, triggering events that were considered included:

•

A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group);

•

A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition;

•

A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

•

An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group);

•

A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group); and,

•

A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The term more likely than not refers to a level of likelihood that is more than 50 percent.

If a triggering event has occurred, for purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset or assets shall be grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If after identifying a triggering event it is determined that the asset group’s carrying value may not be recoverable, a recoverability test is performed by forecasting the expected cash flows to be derived from the asset group for the remaining useful life of the asset group’s primary asset compared to its carrying value. The recoverability test relies upon the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest and taxes) which are derived from the Company’s specific use of those assets (not how a market participant

would use those assets); and are based upon the existing service potential of the current assets (excluding any improvements that would materially enhance the assets). If the expected undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, the assets are considered recoverable.

The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationship intangibles, trade names, licenses for the use of internet domain names, Universal Resource Locators, or URL’s, software, patent USPTO reference No. 10,182,402, and historical know-how, designs and related manufacturing procedures. Upon acquisition, critical estimates are made in valuing acquired intangible assets, which include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from customer contracts, customer lists, and estimating cash flows from projects when completed; tradename and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time that customer relationships will continue; and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from the assumptions used in determining the fair values. All intangible assets are capitalized at their original cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows: domain name and marketing – 3 to 20 years; software – 3 to 5 years, technology intangibles – 7 years, customer relationships – 7 to 15 years.

Based on a qualitative evaluation, for the year ended January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge for the full unamortized balance of its GeoTraq intangible, in the amount of $9.8 million. The Company has recorded no impairment charges during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022.

Revenue Recognition

Biotechnology Revenue

The Company is currently generating no revenue from its Biotechnology segment.

Recycling Revenue

The Company provides replacement appliances and provides appliance pickup and recycling services for consumers (“end users”) of public utilities, our customers. As part of the Company’s de-manufacturing and recycling process, it receives revenue from scrap dealers for refrigerant, steel, plastic, glass, copper and other residual items.

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Under the revenue standard, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer,

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract,

Determination of the transaction price,

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation(s) is satisfied.

As part of our assessment of each contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay, or credit risk. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products or services, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the price stated on the contract is typically fixed and represents the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled per order, and therefore there is no variable consideration. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than 90 days, the Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product or service based on its relative standalone selling price. The product or service price, as specified on the contract, is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable source that depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances.

Replacement Product Revenue

The Company generates revenue by providing replacement appliances. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the replacement product is transferred to the end user and when performance obligations are satisfied, which typically occurs upon delivery from the Company’s center facility and installation at the end user’s home.

Recycling Services Revenue

The Company generates revenue by providing pickup and recycling services. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when a to-be recycled appliance has been picked up and transfer of ownership has occurred, thereby satisfying the performance obligation.

Byproduct Revenue

The Company generates other recycling byproduct revenue (the sale of copper, steel, plastic, and other recoverable non-refrigerant byproducts) as part of a de-manufacturing process. The Company recognizes byproduct revenue upon delivery and transfer of control of the byproduct to a third-party recycling customer having mutually agreed upon a price per pound, and that collection is reasonably assured. Transfer of control occurs at the time the customer assumes possession of the byproduct material. Revenue recognized is a function of byproduct weight, type and, in some cases, volume of the byproduct delivered multiplied by the market rate as quoted.

Contract Liability

Receivables are recognized in the period the Company ships the product or provides the service. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are based on contractual terms with each customer. When the Company receives consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, they are recorded as deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. The Company recognizes a contract liability as net sales once control of goods and/or services have been transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met, and any constraints have been resolved. The Company defers product costs until recognition of the related revenue occurs.

Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has concluded that no material costs have been incurred to obtain and fulfill our FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 606 contracts, meet the capitalization criteria, and as such, there are no material costs deferred and recognized as assets on the consolidated balance sheet at October 1, 2022 or January 1, 2022.

Other:

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities and that are related to sales of the Company’s products are excluded from revenues.

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in Selling, General and Administrative expense.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with original expected lengths of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for the services performed.

The majority of the Company’s revenue recognized is derived from contracts with customers.

Technology Revenue

The Company is currently generating no revenue from its Technology segment.

Shipping and Handling

The Company classifies shipping and handling charged to customers as revenues and classifies costs relating to shipping and handling as cost of revenues.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense is charged to operations as incurred. The Company had $0 and $6,000 in advertising expenses for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred taxes if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income (loss).

Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in relation to an uncertain tax position. The Company uses a two-step process to evaluate tax positions. The first step requires an entity to determine whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50% chance) that the tax position will be sustained. The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion. The amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of issues raised by taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued and may materially impact the financial statements of the Company in future periods.

Lease Accounting

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases. This accounting standard requires all lessees to record the impact of leasing contracts on the balance sheet as a right to use asset and corresponding liability. This is measured by taking the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term and recording a right to use asset (“ROU”) and corresponding lease obligation for lease payments. Rent expense is realized on a straight-line basis and the lease obligation is amortized based on the effective interest method. The amounts recognized reflect the present value of remaining lease payments for all leases that have a lease term greater than 12 months. The discount rate used is an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement.

In considering the lease asset value, the Company considers fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company uses an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement in determining present value of lease payments.

The Company leases warehouse facilities and office space. These assets and properties are generally leased under noncancelable agreements that expire at various dates through 2025 with various renewal options for additional periods. The agreements, which have and continue to be classified as operating leases, generally provide for base rent and require us to pay all insurance, taxes and other maintenance costs. The Company’s operating leases are exclusively for building space in the different cities we have operations. The lease terms typically last from 2-3 years with some being longer or shorter depending on needs of the business and the lease partners. The Company has also engages in month-to-month leases for parking spaces that the Company has elected to expense as incurred. Our lease agreements do not include variable lease payments. The Company’s lessors offer options to extend lease terms as leases expire, and management evaluates current rental markets and other strategic factors in making the decision whether to renew. When leases are within six months of renewal, management will estimate probabilities of renewing for an additional term based on market and strategic factors, and if the probability is more likely than not that the lease will be renewed, the financials will assume the lease is renewed under the lease renewal option.

The Company's operating leases contain no residual value guarantees or contain restrictive covenants.

Lease amounts accounted for under ASC 842 were determined based on analysis of the lease contracts using lease payments and timing as documented in the contract. Non-lease contracts were also evaluated to determine if the contract terms provided an asset that was controlled by the Company, and provided it with substantially all relevant economic benefits. The Company is not a party to any contracts containing embedded leases. All lease contracts were reviewed, and distinctions made between lease and non-lease payments. Only payments related to the lease of the asset were included in lease payment calculations. Management uses an estimation of its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement over similar terms as the lease contracts in determining the present value of its lease obligations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company from time to time grants stock awards, restricted stock awards, and options to employees (including executives), non-employees, and members of the Board of Directors. Such awards are valued based on the grant date fair-value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures. The value of each award is recognized over the vesting period.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Under ASC 830, if the assets and liabilities of the Company are recorded in certain non-U.S. functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, they are translated at rates of exchange at year end. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly into accumulated other comprehensive income.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Under ASC 260 basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period except that it does not include unvested restricted stock subject to cancellation. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, options, restricted shares and convertible preferred stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding restricted shares, options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Convertible preferred stock is reflected on an if-converted basis.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company has determined it has three reportable segments.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances at several banks in several states including, California, Minnesota, and Nevada. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per institution as of October 1, 2022. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.

Note 3: Restatements and Reclassifications

On April 17, 2023, the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) reached a determination that the Company’s previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for each of the quarterly periods ended July 2, 2022 and October 1, 2022, should no longer be relied upon because of a material misstatement contained in those two quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Company’s preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for each of the two referenced periods, the Company’s management and Audit Committee relied upon the report issued by a third-party valuation firm to determine the carrying value of the promissory note the Company had received from SPYR Technologies, Inc. (the “SPYR Note”), in connection with the Company’s sale of the assets of its GeoTraq, Inc. subsidiary to SPYR Technologies, Inc. in the second quarter of the Company’s 2022 fiscal year. At December 31, 2022, the Company reviewed the original valuation of the Promissory Note to determine if the original 10.5% used to discount the Note was appropriate. In connection with this review, the Company determined that the discount rate should be revised to 14.5%.

The Company’s management and the Audit Committee discussed the matters with Frazier & Deeter, LLC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2022 fiscal year, and with WSRP, LLC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm during the second and third quarters in the 2022 fiscal year and prior fiscal periods since 2019, and determined to restate the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the second and third fiscal quarters ended July 2, 2022, and October 1, 2022. Further, the gain associated with the GeoTraq disposition (Technology segment) has been restated and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 1, 2022. As such, the results of the Technology segment have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 2, 2021.

Note 7: Notes receivable

ApplianceSmart

On December 30, 2017, the Company sold its retail appliance segment, ApplianceSmart, Inc. (“ApplianceSmart”) to ApplianceSmart Holdings LLC (the “Purchaser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Ventures Incorporated, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser purchased from the Company all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of ApplianceSmart in exchange for $6.5 million. On April 25, 2018, the Purchaser delivered to the Company a promissory note (the “ApplianceSmart Note”) in the original principal amount of approximately $3.9 million.

On December 9, 2019, ApplianceSmart filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. Consequently, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.0 million for the amount owed by ApplianceSmart to the Company as of December 28, 2019.

On October 13, 2021, a hearing was held to consider approval of a disclosure statement filed by ApplianceSmart in conjunction with its bankruptcy proceedings. On December 14, 2021, a hearing was held to confirm ApplianceSmart’s plan for reorganization (the “Plan”). On January 10, 2022, ApplianceSmart paid $25,000 to JanOne in settlement of its debt, as provided for in the confirmed Plan, and the ApplianceSmart Note was reversed. A final decree was issued by the court on February 28, 2022, upon the full satisfaction of the Plan, at which time ApplianceSmart emerged from Chapter 11. The outstanding balance of the ApplianceSmart Note at October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022 was zero and approximately $3.0 million, respectively, exclusive of the impairment charge.

GeoTraq (Restated)

On May 24, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with SPYR Technologies Inc. (“SPYR”), pursuant to which the Company sold to SPYR substantially all of the assets and none of the specified liabilities of GeoTraq, as discussed in Note 25 below. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, SPYR delivered to the Company a five-year Promissory Note in the initial principal amount of $12.6 million. The Promissory Note bears simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum, provides quarterly interest payments due on the first day of each calendar quarter, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Interest payments may be remitted in either restricted shares of common stock of SPYR, or in cash. The Promissory Note matures on May 24, 2027.

As of October 1, 2022, no interest payments had been received in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement. SPYR is reviewing options to issue shares permitting it to remain in compliance with the Asset Purchase Agreement and not violate rules as set forth by the SEC. Any future shares of SPYR stock issued to the Company will be restricted.

In connection with the asset sale, the Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assess the fair value of the consideration received. Based on the valuation, the Promissory Note was valued at approximately $11.3 million. The amount of the discount, or approximately $1.3 million, has been recorded as an offset to the principal amount of the Promissory Note, and will be accreted ratably to interest income over the term of the Note. At December 31, 2022, the Company reviewed the original valuation of the Promissory Note to determine if the original 10.5% used to discount the Note was appropriate. In connection with this review, the Company determined that the discount rate should be revised to 14.5%. Consequently, the Company took a $1.85 million charge against income in its restatement of the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022, as discussed previously.

Note 14: Accrued Liability – California Sales Tax

The Company operates in fourteen states in the U.S. and in various provinces in Canada. From time to time, the Company is subject to sales and use tax audits that could result in additional taxes, penalties and interest owed to various taxing authorities.

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (formerly known as the California Board of Equalization) (“CDTFA”) conducted a sales and use tax examination covering ARCA Recycling’s California operations for years 2011, 2012, and 2013. The Company believed it was exempt from collecting sales taxes under service agreements with utility customers that included appliance replacement programs. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company received communication from the CDTFA indicating they were not in agreement with the Company’s interpretation of the law. As a result, the Company applied for and, as of February 9, 2015, received approval to participate in the CDTFA’s Managed Audit Program. The period covered under this program included the years 2011, 2012, and 2013 and extended through the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

On April 13, 2017 the Company received the formal CDTFA assessment for sales tax for tax years 2011, 2012, and 2013 in the amount of approximately $4.1 million plus applicable interest of $500,000 related to the appliance replacement programs that the Company administered on behalf of its customers on which it did not assess, collect or remit sales tax. The Company has appealed this assessment to the CDTFA Appeals Bureau. The appeal remains in process. Interest continues to accrue until the matter is settled.

As of October 1, 2022, and January 1, 2022, the Company’s accrued liability for California sales tax was approximately $6.2 million and $6.0 million respectively.

Note 15: Income Taxes

The Company’s overall effective tax rate was 0.23% for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022, and a tax provision expense of approximately $23,000 was recorded against pre-provision income of approximately $9.8 million. The Company's overall effective tax rate was 4.5% for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2021, and it had a tax provision expense of approximately $236,000 against a

pre-provision loss of approximately $5.2 million. The effective tax rates and related provisional tax amounts vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate due to state taxes, foreign taxes, share-based compensation, valuation allowance, and certain non-deductible expenses.

The Company regularly evaluates both positive and negative evidence related to retaining a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The Company has concluded, based on the weight of evidence, that a valuation allowance should be maintained against deferred tax assets that are not expected to be utilized in the near future. The Company continues to recognize a full valuation allowance against its Canadian operations.

Note 16: Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt and other financing obligations as of October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022, consist of the following (in $000’s):

AFCO Finance

The Company has entered into a financing agreement with AFCO Credit Corporation (“AFCO”) purchased through Marsh Insurance on an annual basis to fund the annual premiums on insurance policies due July 1 of each year. These policies relate to workers’ compensation and various liability policies including, but not limited to, General, Auto, Umbrella, Property, and Directors’ and Officers’ insurance. The total amount of the premiums financed in July 2022 was approximately $579,000 with an interest rate of ranging from approximately 6.0%-7.0% over the period. An initial down payment of approximately $129,000 was made on July 21, 2022 with additional monthly payments of approximately $59,000, escalating to approximately $69,000 over the term, being made beginning August 1, 2022 and ending on April 1, 2023. The outstanding principal due AFCO at October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022 was approximately $406,000 and $288,000, respectively.

KLC Financial

On March 25, 2021, ARCA Recycling entered into a Master Equipment Finance Agreement (collectively, the “Equipment Finance Agreement”) with KLC Financial, Inc. (“KLC”). Under the terms of the Equipment Finance Agreement, KLC has agreed to make loans to ARCA Recycling secured by certain equipment purchased or to be purchased by ARCA Recycling on terms set forth or to be set forth in schedules to the Equipment Finance Agreement. Under the terms of Schedule No. 01 (the “Initial Loan”), KLC has agreed to loan ARCA Recycling approximately $1.8 million secured by existing equipment and new equipment to be purchased by ARCA Recycling. ARCA Recycling will make monthly payments of $31,000, inclusive of principal and interest, over a period of five years, at which time it is intended that the Initial Loan will be repaid in full. The Initial Loan bears interest at 7.59% per annum. KLC will have a first priority security interest over, among other things, all equipment identified in the schedules. The Initial Loan is personally guaranteed by Virland Johnson, the Chief Financial Officer of JanOne and Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of ARCA Recycling. The Equipment Finance Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, and events of default for transactions of this nature. As of October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the outstanding balance due under this agreement was approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Gulf Coast Bank and Trust Company

On September 26, 2022, ARCA Recycling, Inc. entered into a series of agreements with Gulf Coast to refinance its existing credit facility with Prestige Capital. The principal limit of the refinanced facility is $7.0 million, and the borrowing base is the lesser of the principal limit or the sum of the following:

85% of eligible receivables, plus

Lesser of 50% of eligible unbilled receivables or $750,000, plus

Lesser of 50% of eligible Whirlpool only net inventory or $1.0 million, plus

Lesser of 80% of eligible capital expenditures (“CAPEX”) or $2.0 million, less

Reserve of $400,000, less

Additional reserves as deemed necessary by the Lender

Advances under the new credit facility will bear interest at the prime rate, as published daily in the Wall Street Journal, plus 3.25%, but at no time will be less than 8.75%. The refinancing of the Borrower’s existing credit facility improves the availability and liquidity of funds and provides flexibility to borrow against expanded asset categories.

The facility matures on September 25, 2024; and, the facility is automatically extended by succeeding periods of the same duration, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. If the agreement is terminated and the obligation is repaid before the current maturity date, for any reason, the Borrower shall be assessed an early termination fee. The early termination fee is determined by multiplying the minimum amount in effect at the time of termination by the number of calendar months between the termination date and the then-current maturity date. However, no early termination fee shall be assessed if the Borrower repays all obligations after the first anniversary of the agreement and before the then-current maturity date; and repays all obligations with funds borrowed from the Lender. Advances under the new credit facility are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Borrower. The Company is a guarantor of the facility. As of October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the outstanding balance due under this agreement was approximately $3.4 million and $0, respectively.

Note 17: Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

SEC Complaint

On August 2, 2021, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a civil complaint (the “SEC Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada naming the Company and one of its executive officers, Virland Johnson, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”).

The SEC Complaint alleges financial, disclosure and reporting violations against the Company and the executive officer under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5. The SEC Complaint also alleges various claims against the executive officer under Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-13, 13a-14, 13b2-1, and 13b2-2. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions and civil penalties against the Defendants, and an officer-and-director bar against the executive officer. The foregoing is only a general summary of the SEC Complaint, which may be accessed on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2021/lr25155.htm.

The Company continues to assert that the SEC’s pursuit of this matter will not result in any benefit to investors and instead will only serve as a distraction from core business. On October 1, 2021, the Company, filed a motion with the court to dismiss the complaint. The SEC filed its response opposing the motions on November 1, 2021.On September 7, 2022, the motions to dismiss were denied by the court. Pursuant to the automatic stay of proceedings under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, all discovery was stayed pending the motions to dismiss and continues to be stayed pending the June 23, 2023 mediation to which all of the parties have agreed.

The Defendants strongly dispute and deny the allegations and are vigorously defending themselves against the claims.

Skybridge

On December 29, 2016, the Company served a Minnesota state court complaint for breach of contract on Skybridge Americas, Inc. (“SA”), the Company’s primary call center vendor throughout 2015 and most of 2016. The Company seeks damages in the millions of dollars as a result of alleged overcharging by SA and lost client contracts. On January 25, 2017, SA served a counterclaim for unpaid invoices in the amount of approximately $460,000 plus interest and attorneys’ fees. On March 29, 2017, the Hennepin County district court (the “District Court”) dismissed the Company’s breach of contract claim based on SA’s overuse of its Canadian call center but permitted the Company’s remaining claims to proceed. Following motion practice, on January 8, 2018 the District Court entered judgment in SA’s favor, which was amended as of February 28, 2018, for a total amount of approximately $614,000 including interest and attorneys’ fees. On March 4, 2019, the Minnesota Court of Appeals (the “Court of Appeals”) ruled and (i) reversed the District Court’s judgment in favor of Skybridge on the call center location claim and remanded the issue back to the District Court for further proceedings, (ii) reversed the District Court’s judgment in favor of Skybridge on the net payment issue and remanded the issue to the District Court for further proceedings, and (iii) affirmed the District Court’s judgment in Skybridge’s favor against the Company’s claim

that Skybridge breached the contract when it failed to meet the service level agreements. As a result of the decision by the Court of Appeals, the District Court’s award of interest and attorneys’ fees, etc. was reversed. The Company and SA held a mediation session in July 2020. Trial was held in August 2020 and on February 1, 2021, the District Court assessed damages against the Company in the amount of approximately $715,000 plus interest, fees, and costs and attorneys’ fees of $475,000. In subsequent proceedings, the Appeals Court affirmed the District Court judgment. Of the total amount awarded to SA, less the funds that the Company had previously deposited with the District Court, SA remains entitled to approximately $382,000 of statutory interest, which obligation has been assumed by the Buyer in connection with the ARCA and Subsidiaries Disposition transaction (see Note 26).

AMTIM Capital

AMTIM Capital, Inc. (“AMTIM”) acts as the Company’s representative to market our recycling services in Canada under an arrangement that pays AMTIM for revenues generated by recycling services in Canada as set forth in the agreement between the parties. A dispute has arisen between AMTIM and the Company with respect to the calculation of amounts due to AMTIM pursuant to the agreement. In a lawsuit filed by AMTIM in the province of Ontario, AMTIM claims a discrepancy in the calculation of fees due to AMTIM by the Company of approximately $2.0 million. Trial commenced in February 2022, and, on December 12, 2022, a decree was issued by the court dismissing the case.

GeoTraq

On or about April 9, 2021, GeoTraq, Gregg Sullivan, Tony Isaac, and we, among others, resolved all of their claims that related to, among other items, the Company's acquisition of GeoTraq in August 2017, all post-acquisition activities, and Mr. Sullivan’s post-acquisition employment relationship with GeoTraq (all of such claims, the “GeoTraq Matters”). The resolution was effectuated through the parties’ execution and delivery of a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Agreement of Claims (the “GeoTraq Settlement Agreement”).

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of GeoTraq and Mr. Isaac, agreed to tender to Mr. Sullivan an aggregate of $1.95 million (the “GeoTraq Settlement Consideration”) in the following manner: (i) $250,000, which was tendered in cash on or about the date of the Settlement Agreement and (ii) up to 10 quarterly installments of not less than $170,000 that commenced on June 1, 2021, and shall continue not less frequently than every three months thereafter (the “GeoTraq Installments”). The Company may tender the GeoTraq Installments in cash or in the equivalent value of shares of its common stock (the value of the shares to be determined by a formula set forth in the Settlement Agreement), in either case at the Company's discretion. The Company may also prepay one or more GeoTraq Installments in full or in part at any time or from time to time either in cash or in shares of its common stock (a “GeoTraq Prepayment”). If the Company elects to prepay one or more GeoTraq Installments with shares of its common stock, Mr. Sullivan reserves the right not to consent to a tender thereof in excess of 50% of the value of that specific GeoTraq Prepayment; however, Mr. Sullivan is restricted in the reasons for which he can refuse to provide his written consent. The number of shares of the Company's common stock to be issued upon any GeoTraq Prepayment is determined by a different formula than the one to be utilized for a GeoTraq Installment.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Sullivan provided the Company with his proxy to vote his remaining shares of its Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock that the Company had issued to him in connection with its acquisition of GeoTraq in 2017, as well as his proxy for the shares of the Company's common stock into which those shares of preferred stock may be converted. The Company may utilize the proxy in the context of an annual meeting of its stockholders, a special meeting of its stockholders, and a written consent of its stockholders. Subject to the above-described contingent GeoTraq Prepayment tender 50% restriction, Mr. Sullivan provided the Company with the sole ability to determine the time and amount of each conversion of those shares of preferred stock.

The parties to the Settlement Agreement released and forever discharged one another from any and all known and unknown claims that were asserted or could have been asserted arising out of the GeoTraq Litigation Matters. The accrued liability for payments due to Mr. Sullivan is $680,000 and $1.2 million as of October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively.

Alixpartners, LLC

On October 19, 2022, Alixpartners, LLC filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, styled Alixpartners, LLC, plaintiff/petitioner, against JanOne Inc., Index No. 653877/2022. Plaintiff alleged the breach of an agreement and sought damages in the amount of approximately $345,000. The Company denied that obligation. After extensive negotiations, the parties reached a settlement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay to Alixpartners the sum of $125,000 in two tranches and to provide a confession of judgment in its favor in the amount of approximately $450,000, which represented the amount sought in the complaint plus interest thereon. The confession of judgment will be null and void and the complaint will be dismissed with prejudice upon the Company tendering both tranches timely.

Plaintiff has alleged causes of action against the Company for (i) violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and (ii) violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5(a) and 10b-5(c) promulgated thereunder. The Company has not filed a responsive pleading as of the date of these financial statements and strongly disputes and denies all of the allegations contained therein and will vigorously defend itself against the claims.

Main/270

The Company is a defendant in an action filed on April 11, 2022, in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, styled, Trustees Main/270, LLC, Plaintiff, vs ApplianceSmart, Inc. and JANONE, Inc., Defendant, Case no.: 2:22-cv-01938-ALM-EPD. The Company was a guarantor of the lease between the Plaintiff and ApplianceSmart, Inc. Plaintiff alleged a cause of action against the Company in respect of the guaranty and seeks approximately $90,000 therefor. Plaintiff also seeks approximately $1,420,000 against ApplianceSmart and the Company on a joint and several basis. The Company does not believe that it is obligated to Plaintiff in that amount and the parties continue to negotiate a potential settlement.

Westerville Square

In an attempt to recover payments due under a lease, in 2019, Westerville Square, Inc., as the landlord, initiated a civil action against the Company, styled Westerville Square, Inc. v. Appliance Recycling Centers Of America, Inc., et al., in the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio, Case No. 19 CV 8627. The case was stayed during the bankruptcy proceedings of ApplianceSmart, Inc., and was reinstated on June 7, 2021. The landlord is currently seeking $120,000, which amount is disputed by the Company. The parties are in the process of attempting to settle the matter.

Other Commitments

As previously disclosed and as discussed, on December 30, 2017, the Company disposed of its retail appliance segment and sold ApplianceSmart to the Purchaser (see Note 25). In connection with that sale, as of December 28, 2019, the Company accrued an aggregate amount of future real property lease payments of approximately $767,000 which represented amounts guaranteed or which may have been owed under certain lease agreements to three third party landlords in which the Company either remained the counterparty, was a guarantor, or had agreed to remain contractually liable under the lease (“ApplianceSmart Leases”). A final decree was issued by the court on February 28, 2022, upon the full satisfaction of the Plan, at which time ApplianceSmart emerged from Chapter 11. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reversed approximately $637,000 of the accrual, as the Company is no longer liable for two of these guarantees upon ApplianceSmart's emergence from bankruptcy (see Note 23). As of October 1, 2022, a balance of approximately $130,000 remains as an accrued liability due to an ongoing dispute concerning one of the leases.

The Company is party from time to time to other ordinary course disputes that we do not believe to be material to our financial condition as of October 1, 2022.

Note 18: Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock: Our Articles of Incorporation authorize 200,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued from time to time having such rights, powers, preferences and designations as the Board of Directors may determine.

Equity Offering

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for the sale by the Company in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 571,428 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price per share of Common Stock of $10.50. The Offering closed on February 2, 2021 with gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.0 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Company is utilizing the net proceeds for general working capital.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as the sole placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for the Company on a “reasonable best efforts” basis in connection with the Offering. The Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2021, by and between the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency

Agreement, the Placement Agent was paid a cash fee of 7% of the gross proceeds paid to the Company for the securities or $420,000, and reimbursement for accountable legal expenses incurred by it in connection with the Offering of $35,000.

The shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251645) (the “Registration Statement”), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2020 and was declared effective on December 29, 2020.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties, and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement incorporated by reference in this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agency Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agency Agreement, a copy of each of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 1.1, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on January 29, 2021 and each is incorporated by reference herein.

The 2016 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 800,000 shares of common stock pursuant to awards granted under the 2016 Plan. The vesting period is determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the stock option grant. As of October 1, 2022, and January 1, 2022, 90,000 options were outstanding under the 2016 Plan.

The Company's 2011 Plan, which has expired, authorizes the granting of awards in any of the following forms: (i) stock options, (ii) stock appreciation rights, and (iii) other share-based awards, including but not limited to, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance shares. As of October 1, 2022, and January 1, 2022, 27,500 options were outstanding under the 2011 Plan. No additional awards will be granted under the 2011 Plan.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022.

Additional information relating to all outstanding options is as follows:

The Company recognized approximately $0 and $94,000 of share-based compensation expense for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively, and approximately $4,000 and $274,000 of share-based compensation expense for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company has no unrecognized share-based compensation expense associated with stock option awards.

Series A-1 Preferred Stock

Shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a ratio of 1:20. During the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022, 16,141 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were converted into 322,820 shares of the Company's common stock. As of October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022, there were 222,588 and 238,729 shares, respectively, of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding.

Note 19: Loss Per Share (Restated)

Net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding do not include shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested, although such shares are included as outstanding shares in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the additional common shares issuable in respect of restricted share awards, stock options and convertible preferred stock. As discussed in Note 18 above, 16,141 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were converted into 322,820 shares of the Company's common stock. For purposes of determining the weighted average common shares outstanding for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022, respectively, these shares are considered to be outstanding for the entire period.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in $000’s, except share and per–share data):

Potentially dilutive securities totaling 117,500 and 66,000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively, because the effects were anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method. Additionally, 205,299 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, convertible into 4,105,979 of the Company’s common shares, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as, by agreement, these shares could not be converted as of October 1, 2022.

Note 20: Major Customers and Suppliers

For the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022, one customer represented approximately 14% of the Company’s total revenue. For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2021, one customer represented approximately 13% of the Company's total revenue. For the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022, four customers represented approximately 33% of the Company’s total revenue. For the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2021, two customers represented approximately 32% of the Company's total revenue

As of October 1, 2022, six customers represented five percent or more than of the Company's total trade receivables, and represented a combined 78% of the Company’s total trade receivables. As of January 1, 2022, five customers represented five percent or more than of the Company's total trade receivables, and represented 38% of the Company's trade receivables in aggregate.

During the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, the Company purchased appliances for resale from five and four suppliers, respectively. The Company has secured, and is continuing to secure, other vendors from which to purchase appliances. However, the curtailment or loss of one of these suppliers or any appliance supplier could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Note 21: Defined Contribution Plan

The Company has a defined contribution salary deferral plan covering substantially all employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company contributes an amount equal to 10 cents for each dollar contributed by each employee up to a maximum of 5% of each employee’s compensation. The Company recognized expense for contributions to the plans of approximately $9,000 and $16,000 for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively, and approximately $25,000 and $22,000 for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively.

Note 22: Segment Information (Restated)

The Company operates within targeted markets through three reportable segments for continuing operations: biotechnology, recycling, and technology. The biotechnology segment commenced operations in September 2019 and is focused on development of new and innovative solutions for ending the opioid epidemic ranging from digital technologies to educational advocacy. The recycling segment includes all fees charged and costs incurred for collecting, recycling and installing appliances for utilities and other customers. The recycling segment also includes byproduct revenue, which is primarily generated through the recycling of appliances. The technology segment designed wireless modules to connect devices to the Mobile Internet of Things (“IoT”) which contain location-based service (“LBS”) capabilities and can interface to external sensors to allow them to communicate both sensor status and position information. Further, the gain associated with the GeoTraq disposition (Technology segment) has been restated and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 1, 2022. As such, the results of the Technology segment have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 2, 2021. The nature of products, services and customers for each segment varies significantly. As such, the segments are managed separately. Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on sales and income from operations of each segment. Operating loss represents revenues less cost of revenues and operating expenses, including certain allocated selling, general and administrative costs. There are no intersegment sales or transfers.

The following tables present our segment information for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 (in $000's):

On April 25, 2018, the Purchaser delivered to the Company a promissory note (the “ApplianceSmart Note”) in the original principal amount of approximately $3.9 million.

For discussion related to potential obligations and or guarantees under ApplianceSmart Leases, see Note 17.

Related Party ICG Group Note

On August 28, 2019, ARCA Recycling entered into and delivered to ICG a secured revolving line of credit promissory note, whereby ICG agreed to provide ARCA Recycling with a $2.5 million revolving credit facility (the “ICG Note”). The ICG Note originally matured on August 28, 2020. On August 25, 2020, the ICG Note was amended to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2020. On March 30, 2021, ARCA Recycling entered into a Second Amendment and Waiver (the “Second Amendment”) to the ICG Note to further extend the maturity date to August 18, 2021 and waive certain defaults under the ICG Note. The ICG Note bears interest at 8.75% per annum and provides for the payment of interest, monthly in arrears. ARCA Recycling will pay a loan fee of 2.0% on each borrowing made under the ICG Note. In connection with entering into the ICG Note, the Borrower also entered into a security agreement in favor of the Lender, pursuant to which ARCA Recycling granted a security interest in all of its assets to the Lender. The obligations of ARCA Recycling under the ICG Note are guaranteed by the Company. The foregoing transaction did not include the issuance of any shares of the Company’s common stock, warrants, or other derivative securities. As of January 1, 2022, the balance due on ICG note was $1.0 million. Beginning in April 2022, the revolving credit facility was converted to a term note that amortizes ratably through its maturity date of March 2026. The principal amount of the note is $1.0 million, and bears interest at 8.75% per annum. Monthly payments on this note will be approximately $24,767.

ARCA Purchasing Agreement

On April 5, 2022, ARCA entered into a Purchasing Agreement with Live Ventures. Pursuant to the agreement, Live agrees to purchase inventory from time to time for ARCA, as set forth in submitted purchase orders. The inventory is owned by Live until which time payment by ARCA is received. All purchases made by the ARCA shall be paid back to Live in full plus an additional five percent surcharge or broker-type fee. The term of the Agreement is one year, and automatically renews if not terminated by either party, as provided for in the Agreement.

Note 24: Sale of ARCA and Connexx

On February 19, 2021, the Company, together with its subsidiaries (a) ARCA Recycling, Inc., a California corporation (“ARCA”), and (b) Customer Connexx LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Connexx”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with (i) ARCA Affiliated Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (ii) ARCA Services Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (iii) Connexx Services Inc, a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Buyers agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets, and assume certain liabilities, of ARCA and Connexx (the “Disposition Transaction”). The principal of the Buyers is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. The Disposition Transaction was previously expected to be consummated on or before August 18, 2021 (the "Outside Date"). On August 12, 2021, the parties entered into Amendment No. One to Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Recycling Sale Amendment”) to extend the Outside Date to September 30, 2021. In the event the Disposition Transaction is not closed by such date, the Purchase Agreement may be terminated and, in accordance with its terms, the Buyers may be required to pay to us a “break fee” of $250,000. On November 14, 2021, the parties entered into Amendment No. Two to the Asset Purchase Agreement, which provided for the immediate termination of the transactions proposed by the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Recycling Sale Amendment, and for an amendment for the Buyers to pay to us a “break fee.” The break fee was amended to an aggregate of $100,000, payable in two $50,000 installments: (i) the first of which is due on or around August 12, 2022 (the one-year anniversary of the Recycling Sale Agreement and which at the time of filing has not yet been paid) and (ii) the second of which is due to be paid not later than the last day of our next fiscal year. However, if, prior to the date on which either installment of the amended break fee is payable, we sell ARCA and Connexx to an otherwise unaffiliated third party for an aggregate amount less than $25 million, then the Buyers will be relieved of their obligation to pay to us any not-yet-then-due installment of the break fee. Additionally, if, prior to the date on which the second installment of the amended break fee is payable, we have not sold ARCA and Connexx to any third party, then the Buyers will be relieved of their obligation to pay to us the second installment of the break fee. Finally, if, prior to a date on which either installment of the amended break fee is due, we sell ARCA and Connexx to the Buyers, then, the purchase price therefore will be reduced by an amount equivalent to any break fee that had been previously paid to us by the Buyers and the Buyers shall also be relieved of their obligation to pay to us any not-yet-due installment of the break fee.

Note 25: Sale of GeoTraq (Restated)

On May 24, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with SPYR Technologies Inc., pursuant to which the Company sold to SPYR substantially all the assets and none of the liabilities of its wholly-owned subsidiary GeoTraq Inc. The aggregate purchase price for the GeoTraq Assets was $13.5 million, payable in cash and shares of SPYR’s common stock. As of the closing of the transaction on May 24, 2022, SPYR issued to the Company 30,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.03 per share, and delivered a five-year Promissory Note in the principal amount of $12.6 million. The Promissory Note bears simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum, provides quarterly interest payments due the first day of each calendar quarter, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Quarterly interest payments may be made in cash or in SPYR's restricted common stock. The Promissory Note matures on May 24, 2027.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company employed an independent third-party firm to assess the fair value of the 30,000,000 shares of SPYR stock and the Promissory Note. The assessment determined that the fair market value of the SPYR common stock was approximately $946,000, or approximately $0.032 per share, which was approximately $46,000 greater than the amount of the shares received at close. The Promissory Note was valued at approximately $11.3 million, which was approximately $1.4 million less than the Note issued. Consequently, the Company recorded the shares of SPYR stock at fair market value of $946,000, and recorded a discount offsetting the Promissory Note in the amount of $1.35 million. The discount will be accreted ratably over the term of the Promissory Note, and recorded as interest income. Additionally, approximately $105,000 in GeoTraq inventory was transferred as part of the sale, and was, thus, derecognized.

The following table illustrates the calculation of the gain on sale of GeoTraq, as shown on the income statement (in $000's):


Purchase price	$	13,500
Discount on note receivable		(3,200	)
Premium on shares received		46
Derecognition of GeoTraq inventory		(105	)
Gain on sale	$	10,241

Note 26: Subsequent event

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements other than as described below:

Securities Purchase Agreement

On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors for the sale by the Company in a registered direct offering of 361,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price per share of Common Stock of $1.17. The offering closed on March 24, 2023. The aggregate gross proceeds for the sale of the shares of Common Stock were approximately $422,000, before deducting the placement agent fees and related expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

ARCA and Subsidiaries Disposition

On March 19, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with VM7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, under which the Buyer agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of (a) ARCA Recycling, Inc., a California corporation, (b) Customer Connexx LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and (c) ARCA Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada (“ARCA Canada”; and, together with ARCA and Connexx, the “Subsidiaries”). The principal of the Buyer is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. The sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of the Subsidiaries to the Buyer under the Purchase Agreement was consummated simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement and the Disposition Transaction.

The economic aspects of the Disposition Transaction are: (i) the Company reduced the liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets by approximately $17.6 million, excluding those related to the California Business Fee and Tax Division; (ii) the Company will receive not less than $24.0 million in aggregate monthly payments from the Buyer, which payments are subject to potential increase due to the Subsidiaries’ future performance; and (iii) during the next five years, the Company may request that the Buyer prepay aggregate monthly payments in the aggregate amount of $1 million. The Company also received one thousand dollars for the equity of each of the Subsidiaries at the closing. Each monthly payment is to be the greater of (a) $140,000 (or $100,000 for each January and February during the 15-year payment period) or (b) a monthly percentage-based payment, which is an amount calculated as follows: (i) 5% of the Subsidiaries’ aggregate gross revenues up to $2,000,000 for the relevant month, plus (ii) 4% of the Subsidiaries’ aggregate gross revenues between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 for the relevant month, plus (iii) 3% of the Subsidiaries aggregate gross revenues over $3,000,000 for the relevant month. The Buyer will receive credit toward the payment of the first monthly payment (March of 2023) for any payments, distributions, or cash dividends paid by any of the Subsidiaries to the Seller on or after March 19, 2023.

Soin Merger

Effective as of December 28, 2022, the Company acquired Soin Therapeutics LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“STLLC”), and its product, a patent-pending, novel formulation of low-dose naltrexone. The product is being developed for the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), an indication that causes severe, chronic pain generally affecting the arms or legs. At present, there are no truly effective treatments for CRPS. Because of the relatively small number of patients afflicted with CRPS, the FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation for any product approved for treatment of CRPS. This designation will provide the Company with tax credits for its clinical trials, exemption of user fees, and the potential of seven years of market exclusivity following approval. In addition, development of orphan drugs currently also involves smaller trials and quicker times to approval, given the limited number of patients available to study. However, there can be no assurance that the product will receive FDA approval or that it will result in material sales.

In anticipation of the closing of the merger, the Company formed a merger subsidiary known as STI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (our “Merger Sub”), and designated a series of 200,000 shares of its preferred stock, stated value of $300.00 per share (the “Series S Convertible Preferred Stock” or the “Series S Stock”) (see Note 19). The acquisition was memorialized by an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 28, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among STLLC, Amol Soin, M.D., the sole stockholder of STLLC (“Dr. Soin”), the Company's Merger Sub, and us.

For not less than six months after the closing and potentially up to approximately one year from the closing, Dr. Soin will remain the Company's Chief Medical Officer.

At the closing of the merger, (i) our Merger Sub merged with and into STLLC with STLLC as the surviving entity and (ii) the Company issued 100,000 shares of its Series S Stock to Dr. Soin. This all-stock transaction has an initial value of $13,000,000, potentially increasing by an additional $17,000,000 to up to a total value of $30,000,000, depending on revenues generated by the STLLC product. Dr. Soin agreed to certain restrictions on the maximum number of shares of Series S Stock that he may ultimately keep or that he may convert into shares of our common stock or sell into the public markets at any given time: (i) Dr. Soin may not convert shares of Series S Stock into shares of the Company's common stock in an amount such that, upon any such conversion, he beneficially own shares of the Company's common stock in excess of 4.99% of the Company's then-outstanding common stock and (ii) during the five-year period that commences on the date that Dr. Soin is first eligible to convert any shares of Series S Stock into shares of the Company's common stock, he will not dispose of any of such shares into the public markets in an amount that exceeds five percent of the daily trading volume of the Company's common stock during any trading day.

Dr. Soin may convert up to three million dollars of value of the Series S Stock into shares of the Company's common stock commencing one year from the closing and may convert up to an additional $10 million of value of the Series S Stock into shares of the Company's common stock from and after the sooner of (y) the issuance by the FDA of New Drug Approval for low-dose naltrexone for treating pain or (z) 10 years from the closing. Further, during the 10-year period following the closing, Dr. Soin may convert up to an additional $17 million of value at a rate of five percent of the gross revenues that the Company receives in connection with sales or license revenue from the product.

In connection with the merger, the Company employed an independent third-party firm to assess the fair value of the 100,000 shares of Series S Stock issued. The assessment determined that the fair market value of the Series S Stock was approximately $14.5 million, which was allocated to the intellectual property acquired.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Dollars stated in thousands, except per–share amounts.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘seeks,’’ ‘‘approximately,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘estimates’’ or ‘‘anticipates’’ or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. Any statements we make relating to our future operations, performance and results, and anticipated liquidity are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including, without limitation, in conjunction with the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q, are disclosed in “Item 1-Business, Item 1A – Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:

•

the continued effect on the U.S. economy of the coronavirus public health crisis;

•

our ability to secure additional financing to execute our biotechnology business plan;

•

our ability to obtain the marketing approval for JAN101, our initial drug product candidate;

•

the effect that the SEC Complaint has on the Company, if any;

•

the strength of energy conservation recycling programs;

•

our continued ability to purchase product from our suppliers at acceptable prices;

costs and expenses being realized at higher-than-expected levels;

•

our ability to secure an adequate supply of special-buy appliances for resale;

•

the ability to secure appliance recycling and replacement contracts with sponsors of energy efficiency programs;

•

the ability of customers to supply units under their recycling contracts with us;

•

the outcome of the sales and use tax examination in California; and

•

general economic conditions affecting consumer demand for appliances.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K (including the information presented therein under the caption Risk Factors), together with our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and other publicly available information.

Overview

We are focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive pain-relieving properties. In addition, through our subsidiaries ARCA Recycling, Connexx, and ARCA Canada, we are engaged in the business of recycling major household appliances in North America by providing turnkey appliance recycling and replacement services for utilities and other sponsors of energy efficiency programs. Also, through our GeoTraq Inc. subsidiary, we have been engaged in the development, design of wireless transceiver modules with technology that provides LBS directly from global Mobile IoT networks. However, Our GeoTraq subsidiary has not generated any revenue to date, including in the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022. Consequently, during the year ended January 1, 2022, the Company took a full write-down of the unamortized portion of the GeoTraq intangible asset of approximately $9.8 million. Further, the gain associated with the GeoTraq disposition (Technology segment) has been restated and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 1, 2022. As such, the results of the Technology segment have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 2, 2021.

We operate three reportable segments:

•

Biotechnology: Our biotechnology segment is focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive pain-relieving properties.

•

Recycling: Our recycling segment is a turnkey appliance recycling program. We receive fees charged for recycling, replacement and additional services for utility energy efficiency programs and have established 18 Regional Processing Centers (“RPCs”) for this segment throughout the United States and Canada.

•

Technology: We have suspended all operations for GeoTraq, and, on May 24, 2022, sold substantially all of the GeoTraq assets. Further, the gain associated with the GeoTraq disposition (Technology segment) has been restated and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 1, 2022. As such, the results of the Technology segment have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for the periods ending October 2, 2021.

Revenue

Revenue decreased by approximately $3.5 million, or 29.1%, for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022, as compared to the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to reduced replacement volume due to a lack of appliance availability, and weakening commodity markets, partially offset by increased recycling volume.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by approximately $1.5 million, or 16.4%, for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022, as compared to the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2021, due to the factors described above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense (Restated)

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by approximately $131,000, or 4.4%, for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022, as compared to the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2021, primarily due to decreases in stock-based compensation, professional fees, amortization expense, and legal fees.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net, decreased by approximately $255,000 for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022, as compared to the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2021 primarily due to interest income recorded in connection with the sale of GeoTraq.

Unrealized Loss on Marketable Securities

For the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022, an unrealized loss on marketable securities of approximately $270,000 was recorded to mark to fair value securities received in connection to the sale of GeoTraq.

Gain on Settlement of Vendor Advance Payments

For the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2021, a portion of the vendor advance payments were settled, which resulted in a gain of approximately $11,000. There were no similar transactions for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022.

Segment Performance (Restated)

We report our business in the following segments: Biotechnology, Recycling, and Technology. We identified these segments based on a combination of business type, customers serviced and how we divide management responsibility. Our revenues and profits are driven through our recycling centers, e-commerce, individual sales reps and our internet services for our recycling and technology segment. We expect revenues and profits for our biotechnology segment to be driven by the development of pharmaceuticals that treat the root cause of pain but are non-opioid painkillers. We include corporate expenses within the Recycling segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of October 1, 2022, we had total cash on hand of approximately $868. As we continue to prepare to begin late-stage clinical development with our pharmaceutical product, JAN101, and potentially pursue strategic transactions to expand and grow our business, we regularly monitor capital market conditions and may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The amount, nature and timing of any borrowings or sales of debt or equity securities will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.

Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, funds available under our credit facility with Gulf Coast, and or other refinancing of existing indebtedness will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, our continued investments in store openings and remodeling activities for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

During the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022, cash used in operations was approximately $2.4 million, compared to cash used in operations of approximately $3.5 million during the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2021. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily due to results of operations, as discussed above.

Cash used in investing activities was approximately $950,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2021, primarily related to purchases of property and equipment and intangibles.

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.5 million for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022, and was primarily due to the proceeds from the new credit facility, as discussed in Note 16 above. Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $7.6 million for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2021 primarily due to net proceeds received from an equity financing in the amount approximately $5.5 million.

Sources of Liquidity

We utilize cash on hand and factor certain accounts receivable invoices to cover normal and seasonal fluctuations in cash flows and to support our various growth initiatives. Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and consist primarily of demand deposits with commercial banks. On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into a credit facility with Gulf Coast, whereby the Company can obtain financing up to the lesser of $7.0 million or its calculated borrowing base. Gulf Coast has been granted a security interest in substantially all of ARCA Recycling’s assets. The current purchase and sale agreement with Gulf Coast automatically renews every two years unless terminated by the parties.

We acknowledge that we continue to face a challenging competitive environment as we continue to focus on our overall profitability, including managing expenses. We reported net income of approximately $8.1 million and a net loss of approximately $5.4 million, respectively, for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021. In addition, the Company has total current assets of approximately $9.4 million and total current liabilities of approximately $23.8 million resulting in a net negative working capital of approximately $14.5 million as of October 1, 2022.

Based on the above, management has concluded that the Company is not aware and did not identify any other conditions or events that would cause the Company to not be able to continue business as a going concern for the next twelve months

Future Sources of Cash; Phase 2b Trials, New Acquisitions, Products, and Services

We may require additional debt financing and/or capital to finance new acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness, conduct our Phase IIb clinical trials, or consummate other strategic investments in our business. Any financing obtained may further dilute or otherwise impair the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk and Impact of Inflation

Interest Rate Risk. We do not believe there is any significant risk related to interest rate fluctuations on our short and long-term fixed rate debt.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We currently generate revenues in Canada. The reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is U.S. dollars. It is not possible to determine the exact impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes; however, the effect on reported revenue and net earnings can be estimated. We estimate that the overall strength of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar had an immaterial impact on the revenues and net income for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022. We do not currently hedge foreign currency fluctuations and do not intend to do so for the foreseeable future.

We do not hold any derivative financial instruments, nor do we hold any securities for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer (our CEO) and principal financial officer (our CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our

principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of October 1, 2022, the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 1, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 1, 2022. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in 2013 regarding Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of October 1, 2022.

Management noted material weaknesses in internal control when conducting their evaluation of internal control as of October 1, 2022. (1) Insufficient information technology general controls (“ITGC”) and segregation of duties. It was noted that people who were negotiating a contract, were also involved in approving invoices without proper oversight. Additional controls and procedures are necessary and are being implemented to have check and balance on significant transactions and governance with those charged with governance authority. (2) Inadequate control design or lack of sufficient controls over significant accounting processes. The cutoff and reconciliation procedures were not effective with certain accrued and deferred expenses. (3) Insufficient assessment of the impact of potentially significant transactions, and (4) Insufficient processes and procedures related to proper recordkeeping of agreements and contracts. In addition, contract to invoice reconciliation was not effective with certain transportation service providers. As part of its remediation plan, processes and procedures have been implemented to help ensure accruals and invoices are reviewed for accuracy and properly recorded in the appropriate period. These material weaknesses remained outstanding as of the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and management is currently working to remedy these outstanding material weaknesses.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, regardless of how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. These inherent limitations include the following: judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes, controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override, the design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information in response to this item is included in Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. However, in light of the SEC Complaint, the Company provides the following additional risk factor, which supplements the risk factors previously disclosed by the Company in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2020 10-K.

We are the subject of an SEC Complaint, which could divert management's focus, result in substantial litigation expenses and have an adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations or stock price.

We are currently subject to an SEC Complaint. Refer to Note 17 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding this specific matter. We may be subject to additional investigations, arbitration proceedings, audits, regulatory inquiries and similar actions, including matters related to intellectual property, employment, securities laws, disclosures, tax, accounting, class action and product liability, as well as regulatory and other claims related to our business and our industry, which we refer to collectively as legal proceedings. We cannot predict the outcome of any particular proceeding, or whether ongoing investigations, will be resolved favorably or ultimately result in charges or material damages, fines or other penalties, enforcement actions, bars against serving as an officer or director, or practicing before the SEC, or civil or criminal proceedings against us or members of our senior management.

Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be expensive and disruptive. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and we are unable to predict how long the legal proceedings to which we are currently subject will continue. An unfavorable outcome of any legal proceeding may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations or our stock price. Any proceeding could negatively impact our reputation among our stakeholders. Furthermore, publicity surrounding ongoing legal proceedings, even if resolved favorably for us, could result in additional legal proceedings against us, as well as damage our image.

We may not be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements including, without limitation, a requirement that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share. If we fail to continue to meet all applicable continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Global Market in the future and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, our ability to obtain financing to repay debt, and fund our operations.

On April 13, 2022, we received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that we did not presently comply with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) that requires a Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing. The notice did not have any immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and we had 45 calendar days from the date of the notice to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules. We submitted such a plan on May 31, 2022, wherein we discussed the GeoTraq sale (see Note 25) and how that placed the Company back into compliance with the Rule. As of the filing date, we have received no further communication on the matter.
