to ultimately sell these companies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Through our Service 800 Inc. subsidiary, many of our clients, such as GE
Healthcare, Audiology System, Inc., 3M Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson Vision
Care, Albany Molecular Research Inc., Sakura Finetek, Abbott Diagnostics,
Biosense Webster, a Johnson & Johnson Company and Medtronic to name a few took
the time during the pandemic to begin strategic planning with Service 800 to
grow their business with the Company through renewals, expansion, and developing
better ways to grow our programs with each and every one of them for the future.
This select market segment continues to be a major source of revenue for the
Company as we expand our services within this business segment. Renewals have
been strong during the last nine months, and we anticipate revenue getting back
in line with exceeding our expectations as we progress further into the year.
All renewals that have taken place are on a minimum of a one to two-year term
with an auto renewal taking place when the contract expires. The pandemic helped
our customers recognize the value that Service 800 brings to its clients in the
form of providing valuable information to not only help their growth within
their own companies, but also help them be better providers to their customers
as well. We continue to look forward to growth into each division of these
companies and expansion to exceed expectations that have been set. We value
these customers and seek to achieve positive growth we have set for the
remainder of the year and moving onwards for future years to come.

September 30, 2022, as compared to $6,928,746 for the nine months ended

Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment
during the next twelve (12) months.
Going Concern
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $70,037,691 and a
working capital deficit of $5,552,398. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to continue relying
upon the issuance of debt and equity securities to finance our operations. In
this regard, we are restricted by the number of shares available for issuance in
an equity financing, and we will likely need to increase our authorized capital
in order to take advantage of such financing. However, there can be no assurance
that we will be successful in obtaining shareholder approval to increase our
authorized capital, that we will be successful in raising the funds necessary to
maintain operations, or that a self-supporting level of operations will ever be
achieved. The likely outcome of these future events is indeterminable. Our
financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible
future effect on the recoverability and classification of the assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we cease to
continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise
additional capital and implement our business plan. Since inception, we have
been funded by related parties through capital investment and borrowing of
funds.
We had total current assets of $1,636,311 and $1,607,347 as of September 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Current assets would consist primarily
of cash and accounts receivable. The Company had a $70,037,691 accumulated
deficit on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.
We had total current liabilities of $7,191,709 and $5,414,772 as of September
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Current liabilities consisted
primarily of the derivative liability, accounts payable, accrued payroll and
payroll taxes, related party debt, conventional and convertible debt, lease
liability, accrued loss contingency, and accrued interest. In the current nine
months there were approximate increases in accrued interest of $417,000 and in
accrued payroll liabilities of $45,000. Short-term borrowings - related party
decreased by $150,000 due to the partial conversion on the note for stock.
Short-term borrowings from nonrelated parties increased by $1,100,000 joined by
a decrease in accounts payable of $75,000, a decrease in the current portion of
the lease liability value of $16,000 and an increase in derivative liabilities
of $455,720.

We had a working capital deficit of $5,552,398 and $3,807,425 as of September
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which increase is mainly due to
the net increase in short-term borrowings during the three months ended
September 30, 2022.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, cash used in operating
activities was $959,652 and $1,464,373 respectively. This decrease of cash used
is attributable to the decreased cash requirements for the operations of the
Company which recorded a loss from operations of $1,258,662 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1,876,877 for the same period in 2021.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
No cash was used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2022 and 2021.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, cash provided by
financing activities was $1,000,000 and $1,683,684, respectively, due to
proceeds from notes payable of 1,000,000 and 775,000, respectively, and the sale
of Series C Preferred Stock of $0 and $1,000,000, respectively.
Contractual Obligations
As a "smaller reporting company," we are not required to provide tabular
disclosure of contractual obligations.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and
we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our
business in the foreseeable future.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or
capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our
securities.
Seasonality
In the past, our operating results and operating cash flows historically have
not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, in
the event that we succeed in bringing our planned products to market.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate past judgments and our estimates, including those
related to allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory write-downs
and write offs, deferred income taxes, provision for contractual obligations and
our ability to continue as a going concern. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.

accounting estimates during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
