During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company conducted a thorough review of its assets and decided to divest items that no longer aligned with its strategic objectives. This strategic shift aimed to enhance cash flow within the company. Consequently, through an update of its business model, the Company identified and reclassified $2,940,254 worth of property and equipment, including Hydronaut vessels, the Drix unmanned surface vessel, and other miscellaneous equipment, as AHFS. At March 31, 2024 property and equipment totaling $1,310,832 remains as AHFS with the decrease driven primarily by the sale of Hydronaut vessels 2 and 3 on January 22, 2024, for $1,533,609 which included cash of $375,000, combined with the offset of open payable invoices. The Company is actively pursuing the sale of the remaining assets earmarked for sale and anticipates that the majority will be sold by the end of the third quarter of 2024.
