 SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 Statements
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report") may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

 Forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or
any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are often, but not always,
made through the use of words or phrases such as "believe," "will," "may," "could," "continue,"
"should," "contemplate," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend,"
"target," "forecast," "outlook," "guidance," "project," "potential,"
"plan" and "would," and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended
to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business
based in part on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties
and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from
what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those set forth in "Item 1A.
Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 You
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we disclaim any obligation to publicly
update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

 You
should read this Annual Report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and events and
circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

 PART
I

 On
October 19, 2021, we changed our corporate name from MassRoots, Inc. to Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. We will not distinguish
between our prior and current corporate name and will refer to our current corporate name throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As such, unless expressly indicated or the content indicates otherwise, as used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms "Registrant,"
"Company," "Greenwave," "we," "us," and "our" refers to Greenwave Technology
Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, unless otherwise noted.

 This
Annual Report contains additional trade names, trademarks, and service marks of other companies, which are the property of their respective
owners. We do not intend our use or display of other companies' trade names, trademarks, or service marks to imply a relationship
with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, these other companies.

 ITEM
1. BUSINESS

 Overview

 We
were formed in April 26, 2013 as a technology platform developer under the name MassRoots, Inc. In October 2021, we changed our corporate
name from "MassRoots, Inc." to "Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc." We sold all of our social media assets
on October 28, 2021 for cash consideration equal to $10,000 and has discontinued all operations related to our social media business.
On September 30, 2021, we closed our acquisition of Empire Services, Inc. ("Empire"), which operates 14 metal recycling facilities
in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio. The acquisition was effective October 1, 2021 upon the effectiveness of the Certificate of Merger
in Virginia.

 Upon
the acquisition of Empire, we transitioned into the scrap metal industry which involves collecting, classifying and processing appliances,
construction material, end-of-life vehicles, boats, and industrial machinery. We process these items by crushing, shearing, shredding,
separating, and sorting, into smaller pieces and categorize these recycled ferrous, nonferrous, and mixed metal pieces based on density
and metal prior to sale. In cases of scrap cars, we remove the catalytic converters, aluminum wheels, and batteries for separate processing
and sale prior to shredding the vehicle. We have designed our systems to maximize the value of metals produced from this process.

 We
operate an automotive shredder at our Kelford, North Carolina location and a second automotive shredder at our Carrollton, Virginia
location is expected to come online in the second quarter of 2024. Our shredders are designed to produce a denser product and, in
concert with advanced separation equipment, more refined recycled ferrous metals, which are more valuable as they require less
processing to produce recycled steel products. In totality, this process reduces large metal objects like auto bodies into
baseball-sized pieces of shredded recycled metal.

 The
shredded pieces are then placed on a conveyor belt under magnetized drums to separate the ferrous metal from the mixed nonferrous metal
and residue, producing consistent and high-quality ferrous scrap metal. The nonferrous metals and other materials then go through a number
of additional mechanical systems which separate the nonferrous metal from any residue. The remaining nonferrous metal is further processed
to sort the metal by type, grade, and quality prior to being sold as products, such as zorba (mainly aluminum), zurik (mainly stainless
steel), and shredded insulated wire (mainly copper and aluminum).

 One
of our main corporate priorities is to open a facility with rail or deep-water port access to enable us to efficiently transport our
products to domestic steel mills and overseas foundries. Because this would greatly expand the number of potential buyers of our processed
scrap products, we believe opening a facility with port or rail access could result in an increase in both the revenue and profitability
of our existing operations.

 Empire
is headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia and employs 131 people as of April 15, 2024.

 Background

 We
were incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 26, 2013 as a technology platform. Our principal executive office is located at 4016
Raintree Rd, Ste 300, Chesapeake, VA 23321, and our telephone number is (800) 490-5020.

 On
October 1, 2021, we consummated a reverse triangular merger (the "Empire Merger") pursuant to which we acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Empire Services, Inc. ("Empire"), a Virginia corporation. Upon closing of the Empire Merger,
all of the shares of Empire's common stock was exchanged for 1,650,000 shares of our common stock. At the closing of the Empire
Merger, all shares of common stock of our newly-formed merger subsidiary formed for the sole purpose of effectuating the Empire Merger,
were converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock of Empire, and all shares of Empire's common stock that were outstanding
immediately prior to the closing of the Empire Merger automatically cancelled and retired. Upon the closing of the Empire Merger, Empire
continued as our surviving wholly-owned subsidiary, and the merger subsidiary ceased to exist.

 Products
and Services

 Our
main product is selling ferrous metal, which is used in the recycling and production of finished steel. It is categorized into heavy
melting steel, plate and structural, and shredded scrap, with various grades of each of those categorizations based on the content, size
and consistency of the metal. All of these attributes affect the metal's value.

 We
also process nonferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, stainless steel, nickel, brass, titanium, lead, alloys and mixed metal products.
Additionally, we sell the catalytic converters recovered from end-of-life vehicles to processors which extract the nonferrous precious
metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium.

 We
provide metal recycling services to a wide range of suppliers, including large corporations, industrial manufacturers, retail customers,
and government organizations.

 Pricing
and Customers

 Prices
for our ferrous and nonferrous products are based on prevailing market rates and are subject to market cycles, worldwide steel demand,
government regulations and policy, and supply of products that can be processed into recycled steel. Our main buyers adjust the prices
they pay for scrap metal products based on market rates usually on a monthly or bi-weekly basis. We are usually paid for the scrap metal
we deliver to customers within 14 days of delivery.

 Based
on any price changes from our customers or our other buyers, we in turn adjust the price for unprocessed scrap we pay suppliers in order
to manage the impact on our operating income and cashflows.

 The
spread we are able to realize between the sales prices and the cost of purchasing scrap metal is determined by a number of factors, including
transportation and processing costs. Historically, we have experienced sustained periods of stable or rising metal selling prices, which
allow us to manage or increase our operating income. When selling prices decline, we adjust the prices we pay customers to minimize the
impact to our operating income.

 Sources
of Unprocessed Metal

 Our
main sources of unprocessed metal we purchase are end-of-life vehicles, old equipment, appliances and other consumer goods, and scrap
metal from construction or manufacturing operations. We acquire this unprocessed metal from a wide base of suppliers including large
corporations, industrial manufacturers, retail customers, and government organizations who unload their metal at our facilities or we
pick it up and transport it from the supplier's location. Currently, our operations and main suppliers are located in the Hampton
Roads and northeastern North Carolina markets. In the second quarter of 2023, we are expanding our operations by opening a metal recycling
facility in Cleveland, Ohio.

 Our
supply of scrap metal is influenced by overall health of economic activity in the United States, changes in prices for recycled metal,
and, to a lesser extent, seasonal factors such as severe weather conditions, which may prohibit or inhibit scrap metal collection.

 Technology

 In
May 2021, we launched our new website. For the first time, Empire's customers can see the current prices for each type of scrap
metal. Our website is also integrated with Google's Business Profiles, listing many of Empire's locations on Google for the
first time. In late May 2021, the Empire launched a junk car buying platform, where people looking to sell their scrap cars can get a
quote within minutes, and integrated Google Ads, enabling Empire to micro-target their advertising based on location, age, income, and
other factors.

 Additionally,
during 2021, the Company moved the operations of each of their yards to WeighPay, a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning "ERP"
system, which enables management to track sales, inventory, and operations at each facility in real time, while also establishing stronger
internal controls and systems. Additionally, in 2021, the Company moved Empire's accounting systems over to a cloud-based QuickBooks
to facilitate collaboration and further growth.

 The
technology systems and improvements Empire implemented have resulted in a significant increase in new customers, hundreds of quotes and
dozens of purchases of junk cars, and we believe a material increase in Empire's revenues as a result of these improvements. These
systems have also streamlined Empire's accounting and internal operations to enable any future acquisitions to be closed quickly
and efficiently. Lastly, through the data-driven decision processes that have been introduced, Empire's strategy on future locations
and pricing is being informed by accurate and relevant data.

 Now
that strong foundational systems are in place, management has begun to repurpose Greenwave's technology platform that was developed
from 2013 to 2020 into a marketing and CRM platform for scrap metal yards. This system will enable each facility to:

 Send
 text and email updates and special deals to their customers;

 Implement

 Over
the past ten years, Greenwave has invested approximately $10 million developing these technologies which we believe we can re-purpose
for a fraction of the cost of development, give our metal recycling facilities and those who pay to use our platform a significant competitive
advantage, and grow our revenues and profits as a result.

 There
are few companies developing technology solutions for the scrap metal industry and we believe that by utilizing our experience and assets
on this highly-profitable but often overlooked industry, we can create significant value for our shareholders.

 Competition

 We
compete with several large, well-financed recyclers of scrap metal, steel mills which own their own scrap metal processing operations,
and with smaller metal recycling companies. Demand for metal products is sensitive to global economic conditions, the relative value
of the U.S. dollar, and availability of material alternatives, including recycled metal substitutes. Prices for recycled metal are also
influenced by tariffs, quotas, and other import restrictions, and by licensing and government requirements.

 We
aim to create a competitive advantage through our ability to process significant volumes of metal products and utilize the technology solutions, our use of processing
and separation equipment, the number and location of our facilities, and the operating synergies we have been able to develop based
on our experience.

 Recent
Developments

 On
March 29, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with DWM Properties LLC (the "Holder"), whereby the
Company and Holder agreed to exchange $10,000,000 of that certain Secured Promissory Note, dated July 31, 2023, issued by the
Company to the Holder for shares of the Company's newly created Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's common stock at $0.204 per share,
subject to adjustment as set forth therein, except the Preferred Stock is not convertible until such time as the currently
outstanding senior secured indebtedness of the Company has been satisfied in full. In addition, the Company has the right to redeem
the Preferred Stock in cash or shares of its Common Stock. The Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10,000 per share, has no
voting rights, and does not bear dividends.

 On March 18, 2024, the Company extended warrant exercise inducement offer
letters (the "Inducement Letters") to the holders (the "Holders") of its existing warrants to purchase shares
of the Company's common stock (the "Existing Warrants"), pursuant to which the Holders can exercise for cash their Existing
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 16,147,852 shares of the Company's common stock, in the aggregate, at an exercise price
of $0.204 per share, in exchange for the Company's agreement to issue new warrants (the "Inducement Warrants") on the
terms described below, to purchase up to 32,295,704 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Inducement Warrant Shares").
If Holders exercise all their Existing Warrants for cash, the Company would receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3,294,161.
Holders of Existing Warrants must return the Inducement Letter along with exercising all or part of the Existing Warrants on or before
5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 26, 2024 (the "Final Closing Date") to receive the Inducement Warrants.

 From
March 18 to March 26, 2024, the Company issued 13,772,394 shares for the exercise of warrants for proceeds of $2,809,568. The Company
issued 27,544,788 Inducement Warrants to the existing warrant holders who exercised during the inducement period. For more information,
see the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed on March 18, 2024.

 From
January 1 to March 20, 2024, the Company issued 10,864,690 shares for the conversion of convertible debt in the principal amount of $2,066,740.
The shares underlying the debt were covered by a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274293) declared effective by the U.S.
Securities Exchange Commission on September 12, 2023.

 From January 1 to March 17, 2024, the Company issued
2,258,088 shares for the exercise of warrants for proceeds of $22,581.

 On March 15, 2024, the Company entered into leasing agreements for a scrap
yard located at 3030 E 55th Street, Cleveland, OH 44127. Under the terms of the lease, the Company is required to pay $17,000 from March
1, 2024 to February 28, 2025; $23,000 from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026; $23,000 from March 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027; $23,000
from March 1, 2027 to February 28, 2028; and increasing by the greater of 3% and the CPI every 12 months thereafter until the expiration
of the lease. The lease is for a period of five years, include two options to extend for five years each, and the Company was required
to make a security deposit of $17,000. The Company has the option to purchase the property for $3,277,000 until February 28, 2024.

 We
 depend on a small number of suppliers for the materials necessary to run our business. The loss of these suppliers, or their failure
 to supply us with these materials, would materially and adversely affect our business.

 We
 have substantial customer concentration, with a limited number of customers accounting for a substantial portion of our 2023 and
 2022 revenues.

 We
 have a limited history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made and have no history of profitable
 operations.

 We
 are highly dependent on the services of key executives, the loss of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic direction.
 If we lose key management or significant personnel, cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other personnel or
 experience increases in our compensation costs, our business may materially suffer.

 We
 may need to obtain additional financing to fund our operations.

 Our
 independent registered accounting firm has expressed concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 In
 the past we have experienced material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which if continued, could impair
 our financial condition.

 Risks
Relating to Government Laws and Regulations

 Tax
 increases and changes in tax rules may adversely affect our financial results.

 We
 may not realize our deferred tax assets in the future.

 Environmental
 compliance costs and potential environmental liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
 of operations.

 Governmental
 agencies may refuse to grant or renew our licenses and permits, thus restricting our ability to operate.

 Compliance
 with existing and future climate change and greenhouse gas emission laws and regulations may adversely impact our operating results.

 Risks
Relating to Intellectual Property

 We
 may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

 We
 may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our intellectual property, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful
 and the outcome might have an adverse effect on the success of our business.

 We
 may be subject to claims by third parties asserting that our employees or we have misappropriated their intellectual property or
 claiming ownership of what we regard as our own intellectual property.

 Risks
Related to our Common Stock

 The
 market price of our common stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors.

 If
 our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

 We
 are a "smaller reporting company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we decide to take advantage of certain
 exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies, our common stock could be less attractive
 to investors.

 We
 do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.

 You
 could lose some or all of your investment.

 Our
 management controls a large block of our common stock that will allow them to control us.

 Because
 we can issue additional shares of Common Stock, purchasers of our Common Stock may incur immediate dilution and experience further
 dilution.

 Provisions
 in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware law might discourage,
 delay or prevent a change in control of our Company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the market price of our
 Common Stock.

 If
 securities or industry research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue unfavorable or misleading
 opinions regarding common stock, the market price and trading volume of our Common Stock could decline.

 Future
 sales and issuances of our Common Stock or rights to purchase our Common Stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans,
 could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

 We
 have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from our public offerings and may not use them effectively.

 Our
 disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

 As
 a newly Nasdaq-listed company, we will incur material increased costs and become subject to additional regulations and requirements.

 Risks
Relating to Our Business and Industry

 We
operate in industries that are cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on our
operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

 Demand
for most of our products is cyclical in nature and sensitive to general economic conditions. The timing and magnitude of the cycles in
the industries in which our products are used, including global steel manufacturing and nonresidential and infrastructure construction
in the U.S., are difficult to predict. The cyclical nature of our operations tends to reflect and be amplified by changes in economic
conditions, both domestically and internationally, and foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Economic downturns or a prolonged period
of slow growth in the U.S. and foreign markets or any of the industries in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 Changing
conditions in global markets including the impact of sanctions and tariffs, quotas and other trade actions and import restrictions may
adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

 A
significant portion of the metal we process is sold to end customers located outside the U.S., including countries in Asia, the Mediterranean
region and North, Central and South America. Our ability to sell our products profitably, or at all, is subject to a number of risks
including adverse impacts of political, economic, military, terrorist or major pandemic events; labor and social issues; legal and regulatory
requirements or limitations imposed by foreign governments including quotas, tariffs or other protectionist trade barriers, sanctions,
adverse tax law changes, nationalization, currency restrictions, or import restrictions for certain types of products we export; and
disruptions or delays in shipments caused by customs compliance or other actions of government agencies. The occurrence of such events
and conditions may adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

 For
example, in fiscal 2017, regulators in China began implementing the National Sword Initiative involving inspections of Chinese industrial
enterprises, including recyclers, in order to identify rules violations with respect to discharge of pollutants or illegally transferred
scrap imports. Restrictions resulting from the National Sword Initiative include a ban on certain imported recycled products, lower contamination
limits for permitted recycled materials, and more comprehensive pre- and post-shipment inspection requirements. Disruptions in pre-inspection
certifications and stringent inspection procedures at certain Chinese destination ports have limited access to these destinations and
resulted in the renegotiation or cancellation of certain nonferrous customer contracts in connection with the redirection of such shipments
to alternate destinations. Commencing July 1, 2019, China imposed further restrictions in the form of import license requirements and
quotas on certain scrap products, including certain nonferrous products we sell. Chinese import licenses and quotas are issued to Chinese
scrap consumers on a quarterly basis for the importation of scrap products. Since the implementation of this program, the size of import
quotas has been steadily reduced on a quarter-over-quarter basis. We have continued to sell our recycled metal products into China; however,
additional or modified license requirements and quotas, as well as additional product quality requirements, may be issued in the future.
We believe that the potential impact on our recycling operations of the Chinese regulatory actions described above could include requirements
that would necessitate additional processing and packaging of certain nonferrous recycled scrap metal products, increased inspection
and certification activities with respect to exports to China, or a change in the use of our sales channels in the event of delays in
the issuance of licenses, restrictive quotas or an outright ban on certain or all of our recycled metals products by China. As regulatory
developments progress, we may need to make further investments in nonferrous processing equipment beyond existing planned investments
where economically justified, incur additional costs in order to comply with new inspection requirements, or seek alternative markets
for the impacted products, which may result in lower sales prices or higher costs and may adversely impact our business or results of
operations.

 In
March 2018, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on certain imported steel products and a 10% tariff on certain imported aluminum products under
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. These new tariffs, along with other U.S. trade actions, have triggered retaliatory actions
by certain affected countries, and other foreign governments have initiated or are considering imposing trade measures on other U.S.
goods. For example, China has imposed a series of retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. products, including a 25 percent tariff on all
grades of U.S. scrap and an additional 25 percent tariff on U.S. aluminum scrap. These tariffs and other trade actions could result in
a decrease in international steel demand beyond that already experienced and further negatively impact demand for our products, which
would adversely impact our business. Given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of these trade actions by the U.S. or other
countries, the impact of the trade actions on our operations or results remains uncertain, but this impact could be material.

 Changes
in the availability or price of inputs such as raw materials and end-of-life vehicles could reduce our sales.

 Our
businesses require certain materials that are sourced from third party suppliers. Industry supply conditions generally involve risks,
including the possibility of shortages of raw materials, increases in raw material and other input costs, and reduced control over delivery
schedules. We procure our scrap inventory from numerous sources. These suppliers generally are not bound by long-term contracts and have
no obligation to sell scrap metal to us. In periods of declining or lower scrap metal prices suppliers may elect to hold scrap metal
to wait for higher prices or intentionally slow their metal collection activities, tightening supply. If a substantial number of suppliers
cease selling scrap metal to us, we will be unable to recycle metal at desired levels, and our results of operations and financial condition
could be materially adversely affected. For instance, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 a lower price environment for recycled metals
in combination with economic and other restrictions on suppliers relating to COVID-19 severely constricted the supply of scrap metal
including end-of-life vehicles, which resulted in significantly reduced processed volumes. A slowdown of industrial production in the
U.S. may also reduce the supply of industrial grades of metal to the metals recycling industry, resulting in less recyclable metal available
to process and market. Increased competition for domestic scrap metal, including as a result of overcapacity in the scrap recycling industry
in the U.S. and Canada, may also reduce the supply of scrap metal available to us. Failure to obtain a steady supply of scrap material
could both adversely impact our ability to meet sales commitments and reduce our operating margins. Failure to obtain an adequate supply
of end-of-life vehicles could adversely impact our ability to attract customers and charge admission fees and reduce our parts sales.
Failure to obtain raw materials and other inputs to steel production such as graphite electrodes, alloys and other required consumables,
could adversely impact our ability to make steel to the specifications of our customers.

decreases in scrap metal prices may adversely impact our operating results.

 The
timing and magnitude of the cycles in the industries in which we operate are difficult to predict and are influenced by different economic
conditions in the domestic market, where we typically acquire our raw materials, and foreign markets, where we typically sell the majority
of our products. Purchase prices for scrap metal including end-of-life vehicles and selling prices for recycled scrap metal are subject
to market forces beyond our control. While we attempt to respond to changing recycled scrap metal selling prices through adjustments
to our metal purchase prices, our ability to do so is limited by competitive and other market factors. As a result, we may not be able
to reduce our metal purchase prices to fully offset a sharp reduction in recycled scrap metal sales prices, which may adversely impact
our operating income and cash flows. In addition, a rapid decrease in selling prices may compress our operating margins due to the impact
of average inventory cost accounting, which causes cost of goods sold recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to decrease
at a slower rate than metal purchase prices.

 For
instance, in fiscal 2020, weaker market conditions for recycled metals, including as a result of the sharp decline in global economic
conditions during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 in large part due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and structural changes
to the market for certain recycled nonferrous products primarily from Chinese import restrictions and tariffs, resulted in periods of
sharply declining commodity prices and lower average net selling prices for our ferrous and nonferrous recycled metal products compared
to fiscal 2019. As a result, operating margins in fiscal 2020 compressed as the decline in average net selling prices for our recycled
metal products outpaced the reduction in purchase costs for raw materials. In fiscal 2021, prices for our ferrous and non-ferrous metals
increased significantly, resulting in an increase in revenue and purchasing costs for raw materials. In fiscal 2022, prices for our ferrous
and non-ferrous metals declined during the second half of the year, but remained historically strong, resulting in a decrease in revenue
and purchasing costs for raw materials.

 Imbalances
in supply and demand conditions in the global steel industry may reduce demand for our products.

 Economic
expansions and contractions in global economies can result in supply and demand imbalances in the global steel industry that can significantly
affect the price of commodities used and sold by our business, as well as the price of and demand for finished steel products. In a number
of foreign countries, such as China, steel producers are generally government-owned and may therefore make production decisions based
on political or other factors that do not reflect free market conditions. In the past, overcapacity and excess steel production in these
foreign countries resulted in the export of aggressively priced semi-finished and finished steel products. This led to disruptions in
steel-making operations within other countries, negatively impacting demand for our recycled scrap metal. Existing or new trade laws
and regulations may cause or be inadequate to prevent disadvantageous trade practices, which could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition and results of operations. Although trade regulations restrict or impose duties on the importation of certain
products, if foreign steel production significantly exceeds consumption in those countries, global demand for our recycled scrap metal
products could decline and imports of steel products into the U.S. could increase, resulting in lower volumes and selling prices for
our recycled metal products and finished steel products.

 Impairment
of long-lived assets and equity investments may adversely affect our operating results.

 Our
long-lived asset groups are subject to an impairment assessment when certain triggering events or circumstances indicate that their carrying
value may be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds our estimate of future undiscounted cash flows of the operations related to the
asset group, an impairment is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset group. The results
of these tests for potential impairment may be adversely affected by unfavorable market conditions, our financial performance trends,
or an increase in interest rates, among other factors. If, as a result of the impairment test, we determine that the fair value of any
of our long-lived asset groups is less than its carrying amount, we may incur an impairment charge that could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 We
may be unable to renew facility leases, thus restricting our ability to operate.

 We lease a significant portion of our facilities.
The cost to renew such leases may increase significantly, and we may not be able to renew such leases on same or commercially reasonable
terms, if not at all. Failure to renew these leases or timely find suitable alternative locations for our facilities may impact our ability
to continue operations within certain geographic areas, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.

 Increases
in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies may reduce the demand for our products.

 A
significant portion of our recycled scrap metal revenues is generated from sales to foreign customers, which are denominated in U.S.
dollars, including customers located in Asia, the Mediterranean region and North, Central and South America. A strengthening U.S. dollar,
as experienced during recent years including fiscal 2020, makes our products more expensive for non-U.S. customers, which may negatively
impact export sales. A strengthening U.S. dollar also makes imported metal products less expensive, which may result in an increase in
imports of steel products into the U.S. As a result, our finished steel products, which are made in the U.S., may become more expensive
for our U.S. customers relative to imported steel products thereby reducing demand for our products.

 Equipment
upgrades, equipment failures and facility damage may lead to production curtailments or shutdowns.

 Our
business operations and recycling and manufacturing processes depend on critical pieces of equipment, including information technology
equipment, shredders, nonferrous sorting technology, furnaces and a rolling mill, which may be out of service occasionally for scheduled
upgrades or maintenance or as a result of unanticipated failures. Our facilities are subject to equipment failures and the risk of catastrophic
loss due to unanticipated events such as fires, earthquakes, accidents or violent weather conditions. Interruptions in our processing
and production capabilities and shutdowns resulting from unanticipated events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.

 We
are subject to legal proceedings and legal compliance risks that may adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations
and liquidity.

 We
spend substantial resources ensuring that we comply with domestic and foreign regulations, contractual obligations and other legal standards.
Notwithstanding this, we are subject to a variety of legal proceedings and compliance risks in respect of various matters, including
regulatory, safety, environmental, employment, transportation, intellectual property, contractual, import/export, international trade
and governmental matters that arise in the course of our business and in our industry. An outcome in an unusual or significant legal
proceeding or compliance investigation in excess of insurance recoveries could adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations. For information regarding our current significant legal proceedings and contingencies, see "Legal Proceedings"
in Part I, Item 3 and "Contingencies – Other" within Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to
the financial statements.

 Climate
change may adversely impact our facilities and our ongoing operations.

 The
potential physical impacts of climate change on our operations are highly uncertain and depend upon the unique geographic and environmental
factors present, for example rising sea levels at deep water port facilities, changing storm patterns and intensities, and changing temperature
levels. As many of our recycling facilities are located near deep water ports, rising sea levels may disrupt our ability to receive scrap
metal, process the scrap metal through our shredders and ship products to our customers. Extreme weather events and conditions, such
as hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, wildfires and snow or ice storms, may increase our costs or cause damage to our facilities,
and any damage resulting from extreme weather may not be fully insured. Increased frequency and duration of adverse weather events and
conditions may also inhibit construction activity utilizing our products, scrap metal inflows to our recycling facilities, and retail
admissions and parts sales at our auto parts stores. Potential adverse impacts from climate change, including rising temperatures and
extreme weather events and conditions, may create health and safety issues for employees operating at our facilities and may lead to
an inability to maintain standard operating hours.

 Catastrophic
events may disrupt our business and impair our ability to provide our platform to clients and consumers, resulting in costs for remediation,
client and consumer dissatisfaction, and other business or financial losses.

 Our
operations depend, in part, on our ability to protect our facilities against damage or interruption from natural disasters, power or
telecommunications failures, criminal acts and similar events. Despite precautions taken at our facilities, the occurrence of a natural
disaster, an act of terrorism, vandalism or sabotage, spikes in usage volume or other unanticipated problems at a facility could result
in lengthy interruptions in the availability of our platform. Even with current and planned disaster recovery arrangements, our business
could be harmed. Also, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses
that we may incur. These factors in turn could further reduce revenue, subject us to liability and lead to decreased usage of our platform
and decrease sales of our advertising placements, any of which could harm our business.

 We
depend on a small number of suppliers for the materials necessary to run our business. The loss of these suppliers, or their failure
to supply us with these materials, would materially and adversely affect our business.

 We
depend on the availability of key materials for our business from a small number of third-party suppliers. Because there are a limited
number of suppliers for these materials, we may need to engage alternate suppliers to prevent a possible disruption. We do not have any
control over the availability of materials. If we or our manufacturers are unable to purchase these materials on acceptable terms, at
sufficient quality levels, or in adequate quantities, if at all, the successful operation of our business would be delayed or there would
be a shortage in supply, which would impair our ability to generate revenues from our business.

 We
have substantial customer concentration, with a limited number of customers accounting for a substantial portion of our 2023 and 2022
revenues.

 We
currently derive a significant portion of our revenues from three large corporate customers. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023,
two certain large customers individually accounted for $20,716,044 and $2,001,847 or approximately 58.08% and 5.61% of our revenues,
respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, three certain large customers individually accounted for $17,962,176, $5,332,834,
and $4,301,328, or approximately 53%, 16%, and 13% of our revenues, respectively.

 There
are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. It is not possible
for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by this customer or the future demand for the products
and services of this customer in the end-user marketplace. In addition, revenues from larger customers, especially our largest customer
may fluctuate from time to time based on the commencement and completion of projects, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions
or other facts, some of which may be outside of our control. Further, some of our contracts with larger customers permit them to terminate
our relationship at any time (subject to notice and certain other provisions). If any of these customers experience declining or delayed
sales due to market, economic or competitive conditions, we could be pressured to reduce the prices we charge for our services which
could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position and could negatively affect our revenues and results of operations
and/or trading price of our common stock. If our largest customer terminates our services, such termination would negatively affect our
revenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our common stock.

 We
have a limited history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made and have no history of profitable
operations.

 We
were incorporated in April 2013 and have a limited operating history and our business is subject to all of the risks inherent in the
establishment of a new business enterprise. Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties,
complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with development and expansion of a new business enterprise. We may sustain
losses in the future as we implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will operate profitably.

 We
are highly dependent on the services of key executives, the loss of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic direction.
If we lose key management or significant personnel, cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other personnel or experience
increases in our compensation costs, our business may materially suffer.

 We
are highly dependent on our management team, specifically our Chief Executive Officer, Danny Meeks. While we have an employment agreement
with Danny Meeks, such employment agreement permits Mr. Meeks to terminate such agreement upon notice. If we lose key employees, our
business may suffer. Furthermore, our future success will also depend in part on the continued service of our key management personnel
and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional personnel. We carry "key-man" life insurance on the life of our
executive officer. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel and may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary
for the development of our business. Because of this competition, our compensation costs may increase significantly.

 We
may need to obtain additional financing to fund our operations.

 We
may need additional capital in the future to continue to execute our business plan. Therefore, we may be dependent upon additional capital
in the form of either debt or equity to continue our operations. At the present time, we do not have arrangements to raise additional
capital, and we may need to identify potential investors and negotiate appropriate arrangements with them. We may not be able to arrange
enough investment within the time the investment is required or that if it is arranged, that it will be on favorable terms. If we cannot
obtain the needed capital, we may not be able to become profitable and may have to curtail or cease our operations. Additional equity
financing, if available, may be dilutive to the holders of our capital stock. Debt financing may involve significant cash payment obligations,
covenants and financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate and grow our business.

 Our
independent registered accounting firm has expressed concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 The
report of our independent registered accounting firm expresses concern about our ability to continue as a going concern based on our
historical losses from operations and the potential need for additional financing to fund our operations. It is not possible at this
time for us to predict with assurance the potential success of our business. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, we may be unable
to continue our operations and you may lose some or all of your investment in our securities.

 In
the past we have experienced material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which if continued, could impair our
financial condition.

 As
reported in Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
not effective as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 due to material weaknesses regarding our controls and procedures. The Company did not
have sufficient segregation of duties to support its internal control over financial reporting. Due to our small size and limited resources,
segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible in the near term; however, we
do expect to hire additional accounting personnel in the near future. We have and do endeavor to take appropriate and reasonable steps
to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies. If we have continued material weaknesses in our internal financial reporting, our
financial condition could be impaired or we may have to restate our financials, which could cause us to expend additional funds that
would have a material impact on our ability to generate profits and on the success of our business.

 Risks
Relating to Government Laws and Regulations

 Tax
increases and changes in tax rules may adversely affect our financial results.

 As
a company conducting business on a global basis with physical operations throughout North America, we are exposed, both directly and
indirectly, to the effects of changes in U.S., state, local and foreign tax rules. Taxes for financial reporting purposes and cash tax
liabilities in the future may be adversely affected by changes in such tax rules. In many cases, such changes put us at a competitive
disadvantage compared to some of our major competitors, to the extent we are unable to pass the tax costs through to our customers.

 We
may not realize our deferred tax assets in the future.

 The
assessment of recoverability of our deferred tax assets is based on an evaluation of existing positive and negative evidence as to whether
it is more-likely-than-not that they will be realized. If negative evidence outweighs positive evidence, a valuation allowance is required.
Impairment of deferred tax assets may result from significant negative industry or economic trends, a decrease in earnings performance
and projections of future taxable income, adverse changes in laws or regulations, and a variety of other factors. Impairment of deferred
tax assets could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition and could result in not realizing
the deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets may require further valuation allowances if it is not more-likely-than-not that the deferred
tax assets will be realized.

 Environmental
compliance costs and potential environmental liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.

 Compliance
with environmental laws and regulations is a significant factor in our business. We are subject to local, state and federal environmental
laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries relating to, among other matters:

 Waste
 disposal;

 Air
 emissions;

 Waste
 water and storm water management, treatment and discharge;

 The
 use and treatment of groundwater;

 Soil
 and groundwater contamination and remediation;

 Climate
 change;

 Generation,
 discharge, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and secondary materials; and

 Employee
 health and safety.

 We
are also required to obtain environmental permits from governmental authorities for certain operations. Violation of or failure to obtain
permits or comply with these laws or regulations could result in our business being fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators or becoming
subject to litigation by private parties. Future environmental compliance costs, including capital expenditures for environmental projects,
may increase because of new laws and regulations, changing interpretations and stricter enforcement of current laws and regulations by
regulatory authorities, expanding emissions, groundwater and other testing requirements and new information on emission or contaminant
levels, uncertainty regarding adequate pollution control levels, the future costs of pollution control technology and issues related
to climate change. We have seen an increased focus by federal, state and local regulators on metals recycling and auto dismantling facilities
and new or expanding regulatory requirements.

 Our
operations use, handle and generate hazardous substances. In addition, previous operations by others at facilities that we currently
or formerly owned, operated or otherwise used may have caused contamination from hazardous substances. As a result, we are exposed to
possible claims, including government fines and penalties, costs for investigation and clean-up activities, claims for natural resources
damages and claims by third parties for personal injury and property damage, under environmental laws and regulations, especially for
the remediation of waterways and soil or groundwater contamination. These laws can impose liability for the cleanup of hazardous substances
even if the owner or operator was neither aware of nor responsible for the release of the hazardous substances. We have, in the past,
been found not to be in compliance with certain of these laws and regulations, and have incurred liabilities, expenditures, fines and
penalties associated with such violations. Environmental compliance costs and potential environmental liabilities could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See "Contingencies – Environmental"
in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 Governmental
agencies may refuse to grant or renew our licenses and permits, thus restricting our ability to operate.

 We
conduct certain of our operations subject to licenses, permits and approvals from state and local governments. Governmental agencies
often resist the establishment of certain types of facilities in their communities, including auto parts facilities. Changes in zoning
and increased residential and mixed-use development near our facilities are reducing the buffer zones and creating land use conflicts
with heavy industrial uses such as ours. This could result in increased complaints, increased inspections and enforcement including fines
and penalties, operating restrictions, the need for additional capital expenditures and increased opposition to maintaining or renewing
required approvals, licenses and permits. In addition, from time to time, both the U.S. and foreign governments impose regulations and
restrictions on trade in the markets in which we operate. In some countries, governments require us to apply for certificates or registration
before allowing shipment of recycled metal to customers in those countries. There can be no assurance that future approvals, licenses
and permits will be granted or that we will be able to maintain and renew the approvals, licenses and permits we currently hold. Failure
to obtain these approvals could cause us to limit or discontinue operations in these locations or prevent us from developing or acquiring
new facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 Compliance
with existing and future climate change and greenhouse gas emission laws and regulations may adversely impact our operating results.

 Future
legislation or increased regulation regarding climate change and greenhouse gas "GHG" emissions could impose significant
costs on our business and our customers and suppliers, including increased energy, capital equipment, emissions controls, environmental
monitoring and reporting and other costs in order to comply with laws and regulations concerning and limitations imposed on climate change
and GHG emissions. The potential costs of allowances, taxes, fees, offsets or credits that may be part of "cap and trade"
programs or similar future legislative or regulatory measures are still uncertain and the future of these programs or measures is unknown.
Future climate change and GHG laws or regulations could negatively impact our ability (and that of our customers and suppliers) to compete
with companies situated in areas not subject to such requirements. Until the timing, scope and extent of any future laws or regulations
becomes known, we cannot predict the effect on our financial condition, operating performance or ability to compete. Furthermore, even
without such laws or regulations, increased awareness and any adverse publicity in the global marketplace about the GHGs emitted by companies
in the metals recycling and steel manufacturing industries could harm our reputation and reduce customer demand for our products. See
"Business – Environmental Matters" in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report for further detail.

 Risks
Relating to Intellectual Property

 We
may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

 The
success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing tradename in order to increase our brand awareness. The
unauthorized use or other misappropriation of any our brand names could diminish the value of our business which would have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

 We
may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our intellectual property, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful
and the outcome might have an adverse effect on the success of our business.

 Competitors
may infringe our trademarks or other intellectual property. Moreover, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain evidence of infringement
by a competitor. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims on an individual basis,
which can be expensive and time-consuming and divert the time and attention of our management. There can be no assurance that we will
have sufficient financial or other resources to file and pursue such infringement claims, which typically last for years before they
are concluded.

 We
may be subject to claims by third parties asserting that our employees or we have misappropriated their intellectual property or claiming
ownership of what we regard as our own intellectual property.

 Some
of our employees may have executed non-disclosure and non-competition agreements in connection with their previous employment. Although
we try to ensure that our employees do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subject
to claims that we or these employees have used or disclosed confidential information or intellectual property, including trade secrets
or other proprietary information, of any such employee's former employer. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims.

 We
may also face claims that our use of technology licensed or otherwise obtained from a third party infringes the rights of others, under
such case we may not be allowed to continue using such technology and selling our inventories containing such technology. In such cases,
we may seek indemnification from our licensors/suppliers under our contracts with them. However, indemnification may be unavailable or
insufficient to cover our costs and losses, depending on our use of the technology, whether we choose to retain control over conduct of
the litigation, and other factors. In addition, we may have to find substitute to keep using similar technology to our products, which
may be time-consuming and costly, if not impossible, upon such period our sales or manufacture of certain products may be negatively influenced.

 Risks
Relating to Ownership of our Common Stock

 The
market price of our Common Stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors.

 The
market price of our Common Stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including, but not limited
to: our ability to execute our business plan; operating results below expectations; our issuance of additional securities, including
debt or equity or a combination thereof, necessary to fund our operating expenses; announcements of technological innovations or new
products by us or our competitors; and period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

 In
addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the
operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of
our Common Stock.

 If
our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

 The
SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally
equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized
for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions
in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain a listing on a national securities exchange and if the
price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock could be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing
specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise
exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written
agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure
requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders
may have difficulty selling their shares.

 We
are a "smaller reporting company" within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and if we decide to take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies, our Common Stock could be less attractive
to investors.

 We
qualify as a "smaller reporting company," meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned
subsidiary of a parent company that is not a "smaller reporting company," and have either: (i) a public float of less than
$250 million or (ii) annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and (A) no public float
or (B) a public float of less than $700 million. As a "smaller reporting company," we are entitled to rely on certain reduced
disclosure requirements, such as an exemption from providing executive compensation information in our periodic reports and proxy statements.
We are also exempt from the auditor attestation requirements provided in Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These exemptions and
reduced disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a smaller reporting company may make it harder for investors to analyze our
results of operations and financial prospects. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may
rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock or warrants less attractive as a result, there may be a less active
trading market for our Common Stock and our stock prices may be more volatile.

 We
do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.

 Cash
dividends have never been declared or paid on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable
future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent
a sale of their shares of common stock. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment
will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell
their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

 You
could lose some or all of your investment.

 An
investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors should be aware that the value of
an investment in the Company may go down as well as up. In addition, there can be no certainty that the market value of an investment
in the Company will fully reflect its underlying value. You could lose some or all of your investment.

 Our
management controls a large block of our Common Stock that will allow them to control us.

 As
of April 12, 2024, members of our management team beneficially own approximately 8.18% of our outstanding common stock.

 As
a result, management may have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:

 Election
 and removal of our directors;

 Amendment
 of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws; and

 Adoption
 of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving
 us.

 In
addition, management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock
price. Any additional investors will own a minority percentage of our common stock and will have minority voting rights.

 Because
we can issue additional shares of Common Stock, purchasers of our Common Stock may incur immediate dilution and experience further dilution.

 We
are authorized to issue up to 1,200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 44,000,718 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding
as of April 9, 2024. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of Common Stock without consent
of any of stockholders. Consequently, our stockholders may experience further dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future,
which could have an adverse effect on the trading market for our Common Stock.

 Provisions
in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware law might discourage, delay
or prevent a change in control of our Company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the market price of our Common Stock.

 Our
Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that all Internal Corporate Claims must be brought solely and exclusively
in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware,
or, if such other court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware). The exclusive forum
provision may limit a stockholders' ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes based upon
Internal Corporate Claims, which may discourage lawsuits against us or our current or former directors or officers and/or stockholders
in such capacity. In addition, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action,
we may incur costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business
and operations.

 If
securities or industry research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an unfavorable or misleading
opinion regarding our common stock, the market price and trading volume of our Common Stock could decline.

 The
trading market for our Common Stock will rely in part on the research and reports that securities or industry research analysts, over
whom we have no control, publish about us and our business. If any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion
regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, our stock price would likely decline. If one or
more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets,
which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 Future
sales and issuances of our Common Stock or rights to purchase our Common Stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans, could
result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

 We
expect that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including expanded research
and development activities and costs associated with operating a public company. To raise capital, we may sell Common Stock, convertible
securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell
common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales
may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior
to the holders of our common stock.

 We
have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from our public offerings and may not use them effectively.

 Our
management has broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from our public offerings, and you will be relying on the judgment
of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Our management might not apply the net proceeds from our public offerings
in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from our public offerings
in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 Our
disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

 We
are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. We designed our disclosure controls and procedures to reasonably
assure that information we must disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management
and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. We believe that
any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

 These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple
error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people
or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements
due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As a newly Nasdaq-listed company, we will incur material increased costs and become subject to additional regulations and requirements.

 As
a newly Nasdaq-listed public company, we will incur material additional legal, accounting and other expenses including recruiting and
retaining qualified independent directors, payment of annual Nasdaq fees, and satisfying Nasdaq's standards for companies listed
with it. Because our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing.
If we violate Nasdaq's listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted. If we fail to meet any of the Nasdaq's listing
standards, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our Board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national
securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders'
ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market
for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your
investment.

 ITEM
1C. CYBERSECURITY

 Cybersecurity risks
are a growing threat to us and other businesses, including our ERP and other third-party providers, which are vulnerable to
cyberattacks, malware, and other system failures that may result in unauthorized access, damage, and other harms to our business or
reputation. Protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our business information, intellectual property,
customer, patient and employee data, and technology systems is critical to our business and operations, ability to comply with
regulatory requirements, and reputation.

 Accordingly, Cybersecurity is an important and integrated part of the
Company's enterprise risk management function that identifies, monitors, and mitigates business, operational, and legal
risks.

 Accordingly,
we have established Cybersecurity standards, policies, and operating procedures, for the purpose of implementing information
protection processes and technologies; carrying out Cybersecurity risk detection, identification, assessment, response, and
monitoring; assigning responsibility within our organization for risk detection and oversight; implementing Cybersecurity training;
governing internal communications regarding Cybersecurity risks; and making required public and regulatory disclosures regarding Cybersecurity threats
and incidents. We oversee risks from Cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers by requiring
our vendors to agree that they have and will maintain appropriate Cybersecurity controls, such as through standard contractual
provisions, and by coordinating with key vendors with respect to integration with our systems. Our Cybersecurity risk management
program is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") framework.

 Key
components of our Cybersecurity risk management program include the use of third-party service providers, as appropriate, to
assess, test, or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes. For example, we employed a third-party cyber risk consultant
to assess our overall Cybersecurity risk framework against NIST standards. We have also engaged third-party experts to perform
penetration testing of our IT systems, and we have considered the results of such tests to enhance our Cybersecurity systems
and controls, as appropriate.

 Our
management, including leaders from our IT, information security, legal, and compliance teams, is responsible for implementing our Cybersecurity standards,
policies, and operating procedures, under the ultimate oversight of our Chief Financial Officer. We regularly discuss and assess Cybersecurity risks.

 Our
Audit Committee assists our Board in overseeing Cybersecurity risk management and the integrity of our information
technology systems, processes, and data. Periodically, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management, and, in its
discretion, third party vendors or other external experts, the adequacy of security for our information technology systems,
processes, and data; our incident response and contingency plans in the event of a breakdown or security breach affecting the
security of our information technology systems or data or the information technology systems, processes, and data of our clients;
and any new threats or incidents that have or may impact us. The Audit Committee receives reports on the operation of such programs
from the Chief Financial Officer as appropriate. The Audit Committee also reviews management reports regarding the evolving threat
environment, vulnerability assessments, and specific Cybersecurity incidents. Periodically, the Audit Committee reports on
Cybersecurity matters, incidents, and risk oversight to the Board.

 Although
we have not experienced a cyberattack or other Cybersecurity incident that has materially affected us, we cannot guarantee
that we will not experience Cybersecurity incidents that may have a material effect on us in the future. We may not be able
to protect our systems and networks, or the confidentiality of our confidential or other information (including personal information),
from cyberattacks and other unauthorizedaccess, disclosure, and disruption.

 ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 On
December 1, 2020, Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP ("Sheppard Mullin"), the Company's former securities
counsel, filed a demand for arbitration at JAMS in New York, New York against the Company, alleging the Company's breach of an
engagement agreement dated January 4, 2018, and a failure of the Company to pay $487,390.73 of outstanding legal fees to Sheppard Mullin.
Sheppard Mullin was awarded $459,250.88 in unpaid legal fees, disbursements and interest on June 25, 2021. A judgement confirming the
arbitration award was entered on September 8, 2021 in the Federal District Court located in Denver, Colorado.

 On
September 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Resolution Agreement and Release (the "Resolution Agreement") with Sheppard
Mullin concerning the $459,250.88 judgement entered against the Company. Under the terms of the Resolution Agreement, the Company was
required to make a $25,000 initial payment by September 30, 2021 and is required to make $15,000 monthly payments from October 2021 to
January 2023 with a final $10,000 payment due in February 2023. The Company has made all of its required payments under the Resolution
Agreement.

 We
are unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.

 From
time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We investigate these claims as
they arise and accrue estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and estimable. Regardless of
outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative
publicity and reputational harm, and other factors.

 ITEM
7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion and other
sections of this Annual Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives,
expectations, intentions, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those
discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors." You should also carefully read "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements".

 Overview

 We
were formed on April 26, 2013 as a technology platform developer under the name MassRoots, Inc. In October 2021, we changed our corporate
name from "MassRoots, Inc." to "Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc." We sold all of our social media assets
on October 28, 2021 for cash consideration equal to $10,000 and discontinued all operations related to our social media business. On
September 30, 2021, we closed our acquisition of Empire Services, Inc. ("Empire"), which operates 13 metal recycling facilities
and 1 metal processing facility in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio. The acquisition was deemed effective October 1, 2021 on the effective
date of the Certificate of Merger in Virginia.

 Upon
the acquisition of Empire, we transitioned into the scrap metal industry which involves collecting, classifying and processing appliances,
construction material, end-of-life vehicles, boats, and industrial machinery. We process these items by crushing, shearing, shredding,
separating, and sorting, into smaller pieces and categorize these recycled ferrous, nonferrous, and mixed metal pieces based on density
and metal prior to sale. In cases of scrap cars, we remove the catalytic converters, aluminum wheels, and batteries for separate processing
and sale prior to shredding the vehicle. We have designed our systems to maximize the value of metals produced from this process.

 We
operate an automotive shredder at our Kelford, North Carolina location and a second automotive shredder at our Carrollton, Virginia is
expected to come online in the second quarter of 2023. Our shredders are designed to produce a denser product and, in concert with advanced
separation equipment, more refined recycled ferrous metals, which are more valuable as they require less processing to produce recycled
steel products. In totality, this process reduces large metal objects like auto bodies into baseball-sized pieces of shredded recycled
metal.

 The
shredded pieces are then placed on a conveyor belt under magnetized drums to separate the ferrous metal from the mixed nonferrous metal
and residue, producing consistent and high-quality ferrous scrap metal. The nonferrous metals and other materials then go through a number
of additional mechanical systems which separate the nonferrous metal from any residue. The remaining nonferrous metal is further processed
to sort the metal by type, grade, and quality prior to being sold as products, such as zorba (mainly aluminum), zurik (mainly stainless
steel), and shredded insulated wire (mainly copper and aluminum).

 Empire
is headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia and has 131 full-time employees as of April 15, 2024.

 Competitors

 We
compete with other metal recycling facility operators, such as Radius Recycling (f/k/a Schnitzer Steel Industries), and are focused on
utilizing technology to create operating efficiencies and competitive advantages over our peers.

 For
the year ended December 31, 2023, we generated $35,667,982 in revenues, as compared to $33,978,425 for the year ended December 31, 2022,
an increase of $1,689,557. This increase was driven by hauling revenues growing to $10,156,938 for the year ended December 31, 2023 from
$338,687 for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $9,818,251 attributable to an increase in the number of clients as well
as an increase in the number of trucks operated by the Company. Metal revenues decreased from $33,386,586 for the year ended December
31, 2022 to $25,350,883 for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $8,035,703 due to a decline in commodity prices. There was other revenue, compromised rental income for the Portsmouth Blvd
property, of $132,640 and other income for $27,522 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $48,813 and $204,339 for the

 Our
cost of revenues decreased to $21,184,579 for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $21,537,572 during the same period in 2022, a decline
of $352,993 due to lower metal prices, offset by an increase in hauling costs. Hauling costs increased to $4,996,871 for the year ended
December 31, 2023 from $77,437 during the same period in 2022, an increase of $4,919,434, due to an increased truck fleet. Metal costs

of $2,042,550, due to healthier margins in both hauling and scrap metal. Our gross margins increased to 41% during the year ended December
31, 2023 from 37% during the same period in 2022 due to more an emphasis on operational efficiency. Gross profit on hauling grew from
$261,250 during the year ended December 31, 2022, a margin of 77.14% to $5,160,067 during the same period in 2023, a margin of 50.80%,

 Operating
Expenses

 For

This increase was mainly attributed to the increase in our hauling fleet, which significantly expanded our operations, number of employees,
and internal systems, along with a one-time loss on asset charge. There was a decrease in payroll and related expenses of $356,295 as
payroll and related expenses were $6,634,800 for 2023 as compared to $6,991,095 for the same period in 2022, which was the result of
the Company's Chief Executive Officer waiving his quarterly bonuses. Advertising expense increased by $330,201 to $414,194 for
2023 as compared to $83,993 for 2022 as the Company focused its resources on its scrap metal operations. Depreciation and amortization
of intangible assets increased by $1,753,476 to $5,814,880 for 2023 from $4,061,404 in 2022 as a result of the Company acquiring additional
fixed assets. There were hauling and equipment maintenance costs of $2,898,202 in 2023, as compared to $3,378,452 in 2022, a decrease
of $480,250, due to the Company recognizing more of these expenses as cost of revenue. Consulting, accounting, and legal expenses increased
to $1,713,613 during the year ended December 31, 2023 from $897,981 during the same period in 2022, an increase of $815,632 due to the
Company conducting capital raises. There was a loss on asset of $10,048,308 during the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to $0

to $2,499,753 during the same period in 2022, a decrease of $2,499,753.

 Our
other general and administrative expenses increased to $3,200,445 for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $1,946,580 for the year ended
December 31, 2022, an increase of $1,253,865, as a result of the Company's operations expanding.

 The
increase of these expenditures resulted in our total operating expenses increasing to $33,998,165 during the year ended December 31,
2023 compared to $23,323,774 during the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $10,674,391.

 Capital
Resources

 As
of December 31, 2023, we had cash on hand of $1,546,159. We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with
credit institutions that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate
access to capital.

 Fundraising

the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $825,000, $3,746,109, $13,118,750, $2,841,181 and $1,000,000 from
the issuance of bridge notes, factoring advances, convertible notes, sale of common stock, and non-convertible notes, respectively.

 Required
Capital over the Next Fiscal Year

 We
may need additional capital in the future to continue to execute our business plan. Therefore, we may be dependent upon additional capital
in the form of either debt or equity to continue our operations. At the present time, we do not have arrangements to raise additional
capital, and we may need to identify potential investors and negotiate appropriate arrangements with them. We may not be able to arrange
enough investment within the time the investment is required or that if it is arranged, that it will be on favorable terms. If we cannot
obtain the needed capital, we may not be able to become profitable and may have to curtail or cease our operations. Additional equity
financing, if available, may be dilutive to the holders of our capital stock. Debt financing may involve significant cash payment obligations,
covenants and financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate and grow our business.

 Going
Concern and Management's Liquidity Plans

 As
of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $1,546,159 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets)
of $(20,579,715). During the year ended December 31, 2023, the net cash used in operating activities was $(1,833,310). The accumulated
deficit as of December 31, 2023 was $(395,866,157). These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $825,000, $1,000,000, $13,118,750, $2,841,181, and $3,746,109 from
the issuance of bridge notes, non-convertible notes, convertible notes, sale of common stock, and factoring advances, respectively.

 Until
the Company's consummation of the Empire acquisition, the Company had experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations.
The Company believes it could generate positive cashflows from operations going forward but in the event the market for recycled metals
experiences a sharp downturn or if it experiences delays in its growth plans, the Company may need to raise additional capital. The Company's
failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business
strategy.

 Accordingly,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the consolidated financial statements
are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport
to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements

 We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 Recent
Accounting Pronouncements

 On January 1, 2020, The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments
- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with
an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. The measurement
of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables
and held to maturity debt securities. It also applies to Off-Balance Sheet ("OBS") credit exposures not accounted for as insurance
(loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments and leases recognized
by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities.
One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write down on available for sale debt securities
management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The adoption of this update
did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 There
are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application
to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.

 Critical
Accounting Policies

 Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments,
including estimates used in the calculation of stock-based compensation, fair values relating to derivative liabilities, payroll tax
liabilities with interest and penalties, deemed dividends, assumptions used in right-of-use and lease liability calculations, valuations
and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combination, estimated useful life of long-lived assets and finite
life tangible assets, determination of environmental remediation liabilities, and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.
Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed 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 readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

 Management
believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of its consolidated financial statements.

 Goodwill:
 Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is tested
annually at December 31 for impairment. The annual qualitative or quantitative assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair
value of reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill exists. A qualitative
assessment evaluates whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount before
applying the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of a quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair
value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair
value, an impairment loss may be recognized. The amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting
unit's goodwill with the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized
equal to that excess. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying
the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 requires goodwill impairments to be measured on the basis of the fair value of a reporting
unit relative to the reporting unit's carrying amount rather than on the basis of the implied amount of goodwill relative to the
goodwill balance of the reporting unit. Thus, ASU 2017-04 permits an entity to record a goodwill impairment that is entirely or partly
due to a decline in the fair value of other assets that, under existing GAAP, would not be impaired or have a reduced carrying amount.
Furthermore, the ASU removes "the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative
assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test." Instead, all reporting units,
even those with a zero or negative carrying amount will apply the same impairment test. Accordingly, the goodwill of reporting unit or
entity with zero or negative carrying values will not be impaired, even when conditions underlying the reporting unit/entity may indicate
that goodwill is impaired.

 We
test our goodwill for impairment annually, or, under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate
there may be impairment. We are required to write down the value of goodwill only when our testing determines the recorded amount of
goodwill exceeds the fair value. Our annual measurement date for testing goodwill impairment is December 31.

 None
of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded
$0 and $2,499,753 in impairment expense related to goodwill, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying value of goodwill
was $0 and $0, respectively.

 Intangible:
 Intangible assets with finite useful lives consist of tradenames, licenses and customer relationships and are amortized on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. The estimated useful lives associated with finite-lived
intangible assets are consistent with the estimated lives of the associated products and may be modified when circumstances warrant.
Such assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and
its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying
amount and the fair value of the impaired asset. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $0 and $2,499,753 in impairment expense
related to intangibles and goodwill and $2,958,500 and $2,958,500 in amortization of intangible assets, respectively.

 Income
Taxes: The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those 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 operations in
the period that includes the enactment date.

 Income
tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between
assets and liabilities recognized for consolidated financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes and are
measured by applying enacted tax rates in effect in years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 The
Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes,
the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would
more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount
recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 Greenwave
has also experienced impacts of inflation to its operations, mainly the significant increases in the prices of recycled metal, which
in turn, has resulted in increases to the Company's revenue and profit margin. The Company has also experienced increases to its
wages and salaries, hauling, and towing expenses caused by inflation, but is taking steps to minimize impacts to the Company's
financial position. Greenwave does not experience material changes to its business due to seasonality.

 ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 Pursuant
to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15-d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Interim Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. The term "disclosure controls and procedures,"
as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including
its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based
upon such evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023 were not effective
(at a reasonable assurance level) due to identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for
a stronger internal control environment.

 To
address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the U.S. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present in all material
respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to 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.

 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 Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Exchange Act. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria
set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework (issued in 2013). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will
not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 Based
upon the assessments, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2023, there was a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting due to the fact that we did not have an adequate process established to ensure appropriate levels of review of accounting
and financial reporting matters, which resulted in our closing process not identifying all required adjustments and disclosures in a
timely fashion.

 We
plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. To remediate our material weaknesses,
we plan to appoint additional qualified personnel with the requisite knowledge to improve the levels of review of accounting and financial
reporting matters; however, such remediation efforts are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing or generating significant
revenue to cover the costs of implementing the changes required.

 Until
we remediate our material weakness in internal control over financial reporting such weaknesses could result in material misstatements
in our financial statements not being prevented or detected.

 Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 The
Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company's internal control over
financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. 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 or compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.

 The
Company's CEO and CFO has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger
internal control environment. The small size of the Company's accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such
as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.

 Because
of the above material weakness, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2023, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.

 This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm
pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this
Annual Report.

 Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

the most recent fiscal quarter, the Company began hiring additional accounting personnel to enhance its segregation of duties and establishment
of procedures in an effort to ensure appropriate levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters.

 The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount
of "compensation actually paid" to Mr. Meeks and Mr. Dietrich as computed in accordance with Item 402(v)(2)(iii) of SEC Regulation
S-K, which prescribes certain specified additions and subtractions from the amount in column (b). In accordance with the requirements

of SEC Regulation S-K.

 (6)

 The dollar amounts reported in column (g) represent the amount
of net income reflected in our consolidated audited financial statements for the applicable year.

 Analysis
of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table

 The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company does not have a policy or practice regarding evaluating Total Shareholder
Return as part of its determination of compensation decisions for the named executive officers. The Compensation Committee takes various
factors into account in determining the competitiveness of its executive compensation. Over the past three fiscal years the Compensation
Committee has recognized the significant time and effort required by the executive officers and others to manage the Company's
liquidity by raising capital while reducing operating expenses and cash used in operations, secure and maintain the Company's listing
on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and to source and evaluate merger and acquisition opportunities. To retain qualified executive management,
the Board, from 2021 to 2023, paid bonuses to Mr. Meeks that were earned during fiscal year 2021 through 2023. Mr. Meeks last received
equity awards in 2021.

 Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

 Greenwave
Technology Solutions, Inc.

 Opinion
on the Financial Statements

 We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the "Company")
as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to
as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

 The
Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has net loss, has generated negative cash flows from operating
activities, has an accumulated deficit and has stated that substantial doubt exists about Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters are also described
in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 Basis
for Opinion

 These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.

 We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 Critical
Audit Matters

 The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 F- 1

 Impairment
of Intangibles – Refer Note 3 and 7

 Description
of the Matter:

 As
discussed in Note 3 and 7, to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's long-lived intangibles assets consisted of Licenses
of $16.5 million, Intellectual property of $1.7 million and Customer list of $1.7 million. Management tests definite live intangible
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Long-lived intangibles are tested
as one group of assets for impairment by conducting a Step 1 analysis to assess the recoverability using undiscounted cash flows. The
key assumptions and estimates utilized in the approaches primarily include future levels of revenue growth, gross profit margin, EBITDA
as percentage of revenue, capital expenditure as a percentage of revenue and debt free cash free working capital.

 The
principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment of long-lived intangibles is a critical
audit matter because (i) the assumptions as described above involve high levels of management judgment; (ii) the high degree of auditor
judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the significant assumptions used in management's valuation
methods; and (iii) the audit effort involved in the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

 How
we addressed the Matter in our Audit:

 Addressing
the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial
statements. These procedures included the following:

 Testing
 management's process for determining the fair value estimates;

 Evaluating
 the appropriateness of the undiscounted Cash Flow approach used;

 Testing
 the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used;

 We
 evaluated the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management related to future
 levels of revenue growth, gross profit margin, EBITDA as percentage of revenue, capital expenditure
 as a percentage of revenue and debt free cash free working capital;

 Evaluating management's assumptions related to the future
levels of revenue growth, gross profit margin, EBITDA as percentage of revenue, capital expenditure as a percentage of revenue and debt
free cash free working capital involved evaluating whether the assumptions were reasonable considering (i) current and past performance;
(ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained
in other areas of the audit; and

 Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used
to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the undiscounted cash flow approach; (ii) the reasonableness of significant assumptions;
and (iii) assessment of the Company specialist's competence, capabilities and objectivity as it relates to the preparation of the
valuation analysis.

 Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements

31, 2023 and 2022

 NOTE
1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 Greenwave
Technology Solutions, Inc. ("Greenwave" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April
26, 2013 as a technology platform developer under the name MassRoots, Inc. The Company sold its social media assets in October 2021 and
has discontinued all operations related to this business. On September 30, 2021, we closed our acquisition of Empire Services, Inc. ("Empire"),
which operates 11 metal recycling facilities in Virginia and North Carolina. The acquisition was effective October 1, 2021 upon the effectiveness
of the Certificate of Merger in Virginia.

 In
December 2022, we began offering hauling services to corporate clients. We haul sand, dirt, asphalt, metal, and other materials in a
fleet of approximately 50 trucks which we own, manage, and maintain.

 The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Empire Services, Inc.,
Liverman Metal Recycling, Inc., Empire Staffing, LLC, Scrap App, Inc., and Greenwave Elite Sports Facility, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries.

 NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 As
of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $ 1,546,159 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets)
of $( 20,579,715). During the year ended December 31, 2023, the net cash used in operating activities was $( 1,833,310). The accumulated
deficit as of December 31, 2023 was $ ( 395,866,157). These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $ 825,000, $ 1,000,000, $ 13,118,750, $ 2,841,181, and $ 3,746,109 from
the issuance of bridge notes, non-convertible notes, convertible notes, sale of common stock, and factoring advances, respectively.

 Until
the Company's consummation of the Empire acquisition, the Company had experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations.
The Company believes it could generate positive cashflows from operations going forward but in the event the market for recycled metals
experiences a sharp downturn or if it experiences delays in its growth plans, the Company may need to raise additional capital. The Company's
failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business
strategy.

 Accordingly,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the consolidated financial statements
are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport
to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Principles
of Consolidation

 The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 Use
of Estimates

 The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S.
GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Significant estimates include estimates used in the calculation of stock-based compensation, fair values relating
to derivative liabilities, payroll tax liabilities with interest and penalties, deemed dividends, allowance for doubtful accounts, assumptions
used in right-of-use and lease liability calculations, valuations and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business
combination, estimated useful life of long-lived assets and finite life tangible assets, and the valuation allowance related to deferred
tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 F- 8

 Fair
Value of Financial Instruments

 The
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 825-10, "Financial
Instruments" ("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair
value of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at historical cost basis,
which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets,
financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements
together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.

 The
Company follows ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

 Cash

 For
purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its
cash in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured
limit of $ 250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with multiple major financial institutions.
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the uninsured balances amounted to $ 1,267,659 and $ 434,399, respectively.

 Property
and Equipment, net

 We
state property and equipment at cost or, if acquired through a business combination, fair value at the date of acquisition. We calculate
depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, except for our leasehold
improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or their related lease term. Upon the sale or retirement
of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and the resulting gain or loss is credited or
charged to income. We expense costs for repairs and maintenance when incurred. Our property and equipment is pledged as collateral for
certain non-convertible notes, see "Note 8 – Advances and Non-Convertible Notes Payable."

 Cost
of Revenue

 The
Company's cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of purchasing metal from its suppliers, direct costs of providing hauling
costs to customers, and cost of other revenue, including sand.

 Related
Party Transactions

 Parties
are considered related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled
by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members
of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if
one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting
parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. See
Note 19 – Related Party Transactions.

 F- 9

 Leases

 The
Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified
as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability,
calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental
borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized
over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line
rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses, if any, are recorded when incurred.

 In
calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excluded
short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See Note 12 – Leases.

 Commitments
and Contingencies

 From
time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation
is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
Except as set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the
aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. See Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies.

 Revenue
Recognition

 The
Company's revenues are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, "Revenue From Contracts With Customers" ("ASC 606")
and generally do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company's revenue streams. The sales
prices are generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company's
contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.

 In
accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following:

 (i)

 Identify
 the contract(s) with a customer;

 (ii)

 Identify
 the performance obligation in the contract;

 (iii)

 Determine
 the transaction price;

 (iv)

 Allocate
 the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 (v)

 Recognize
 revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 The
Company primarily generates revenue by purchasing scrap metal from businesses and retail suppliers, processing it, and selling the ferrous
and non-ferrous metals to customers. The Company also provides hauling services to certain corporate clients.

 The
Company realizes revenue upon the fulfillment of its performance obligations to customers. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company
had a contract liability of $ 0 and $ 25,000, respectively, for contracts under which the customer had paid for and the Company had not
yet delivered.

 Accounts
Receivable

 Accounts
receivable represent amounts primarily due from customers on products and services rendered. These accounts receivable, which are reduced
by an allowance for credit losses, are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends credit to customers
under contracts containing customary and explicit payment terms, and payment is generally required within 1 to 30 days of shipment or
the services being rendered.

 The
Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors, including whether sales, the aging
of customer receivable balances, historical collection rates, and economic trends. Management uses this evaluation to estimate the amount
of customer receivables that may not be collected in the future and records a provision for expected credit losses. Accounts are written
off when all efforts to collect have been exhausted.

 Although
we ship the ferrous and non-ferrous metals we purchase from suppliers multiple times per day, we do maintain inventories. We calculate
the value of the inventories on hand, which consist of processed and unprocessed scrap metal (ferrous and nonferrous), used and salvaged
vehicles, and supplies, based on the net realizable value or the cost of the inventories, whichever is less. We calculate the cost of
the inventory based on the first-in-first-out (FIFO) methodology. We calculate the value of finished products based on their net realizable
value as their cost basis is not readily available. The value of our inventories was $ 200,428 and $ 189,646, respectively, as of December
31, 2023 and 2022. See "Note 5 – Inventories."

 Advertising

 The
Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were $ 414,194 and $ 83,993 for the year ended December
31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 Stock-Based
Compensation

 Stock-based
compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For stock-based
awards to employees, non-employees and directors, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including
estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value
of stock-based awards represent the Company's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application
of management's judgment.

 Income
Taxes

 The
Company follows ASC Subtopic 740-10, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740-10") for recording the provision for income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets
and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.
Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period.

 If
available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized,
a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future
changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income
taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes
in different periods. See "Note 18 – Income Taxes."

 F- 11

 Convertible
Instruments

 U.S.
GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial
instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of
the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract,
(b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value
under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and
(c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception
to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under ASC 480, "Distinguishing
Liabilities From Equity."

 Deemed
Dividends

 The
Company records, when necessary, deemed dividends for: (i) warrant price protection, based on the difference between the fair value of
the warrants immediately before and after the repricing (inclusive of any full ratchet provisions); (ii) the exchange of preferred shares
for convertible notes, based on the amount of the face value of the convertible notes in excess of the carrying value of the preferred
shares; (iii) the settlement of warrant provisions, based on the fair value of the common shares issued; and (iv) amortization of discount
on preferred stock resulting from recognition of a beneficial conversion feature.

 Derivative
Financial Instruments

 The
Company classifies as equity any contracts that: (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement; or (ii) provide the Company
with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such
contracts are indexed to the Company's own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that: (i) require
net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company's
control); or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).
The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to
determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 The
Company's freestanding derivatives consisted of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with the issuance
of debt and the sale of common shares, and of embedded conversion options within convertible notes. The Company evaluated these derivatives
to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 using the applicable classification criteria
enumerated under ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging." The Company determined that certain embedded conversion and/or exercise
features did not contain fixed settlement provisions. The convertible notes contained a conversion feature such that the Company could
not ensure it would have adequate authorized shares to meet all possible conversion demands. As such, the Company was required to record
the derivatives which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value at
the end of each reporting period. The Company also records derivative liabilities for instruments, including convertible notes, preferred
stock, and warrants, in which the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to cover the conversion of these instruments into
shares of common stock.

 Environmental
Remediation Liability

 The
operations of the Company, like those of other companies in its industry, are subject to various domestic and foreign environmental laws
and regulations. These laws and regulations not only govern current operations and products, but also impose potential liability on the
Company for past operations. Management expects environmental laws and regulations to impose increasingly stringent requirements upon
the Company and the industry in the future. Management believes that the Company conducts its operations in compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations and has implemented various programs designed to protect the environment and promote continued compliance.

 F- 12

 The
Company continuously assesses its potential liability for remediation-related activities and adjusts its environmental-related accruals
as information becomes available upon which more accurate costs can be reasonably estimated and as additional accounting guidelines are
issued. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accruals reported on the balance sheet as current liabilities of $ 0 and $ 0, respectively.

 Actual
costs incurred may vary from the accrued estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved including, among others, the nature and
magnitude of the wastes involved, the various technologies that can be used for remediation and the determination of acceptable remediation
with respect to a particular site. Additionally, costs for environmental-related activities may not be reasonably estimable and therefore
would not be included in our current liabilities.

 Management
believes its environmental remediation liabilities were resolved in fiscal year 2022.

 Long-Lived
Assets

 The
Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management
at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the
future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived
assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Intangible assets are stated
at cost and reviewed annually to examine any impairments, usually assuming an estimated useful life of five to ten years. When retired
or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference
less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. The estimated useful lives of the Intellectual Property, Customer
List, and Licenses assumed in the Empire acquisition is 5 years, 10 years, and 10 years, respectively. See Note 7 – Amortization
of Intangible Assets.

 Indefinite
Lived Intangibles and Goodwill

 The
Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations,"
where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one
year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and
revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired
less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 The
Company tests indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. During the fiscal years ended December
31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $ 0 and $ 2,499,753 in impairment expense related to goodwill and $ 2,958,500 and $ 2,958,500 in
amortization of intangible assets, respectively.

 F- 13

 Goodwill

 Goodwill
is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is tested annually
at December 31 for impairment. The annual qualitative or quantitative assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair value of
reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill exists. A qualitative assessment
evaluates whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying
the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of a quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value
of the reporting unit to its carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value,
an impairment loss may be recognized. The amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting
unit's goodwill with the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized
equal to that excess. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying
the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 requires goodwill impairments to be measured on the basis of the fair value of a reporting
unit relative to the reporting unit's carrying amount rather than on the basis of the implied amount of goodwill relative to the
goodwill balance of the reporting unit. Thus, ASU 2017-04 permits an entity to record a goodwill impairment that is entirely or partly
due to a decline in the fair value of other assets that, under existing GAAP, would not be impaired or have a reduced carrying amount.
Furthermore, the ASU removes "the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative
assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test." Instead, all reporting units,
even those with a zero or negative carrying amount will apply the same impairment test. Accordingly, the goodwill of reporting unit or
entity with zero or negative carrying values will not be impaired, even when conditions underlying the reporting unit/entity may indicate
that goodwill is impaired.

 We
test our goodwill for impairment annually, or, under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate
there may be impairment. We are required to write down the value of goodwill only when our testing determines the recorded amount of
goodwill exceeds the fair value. Our annual measurement date for testing goodwill impairment is December 31.

 None
of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded
$ 0 and $ 2,499,753 in impairment expense related to goodwill, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying value of goodwill
was $ 0 and $ 0, respectively.

 Factoring
Agreements

 We
have entered into factoring agreements with various financial institutions to receive cash for our future revenues. These transactions
are treated as a debt instrument and are accounted for as a liability because the Company makes weekly payments towards the balance and
fees. We utilize factoring arrangements as an integral part of our financing for working capital. Any change in the availability of these
factoring arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company
owed $ 0 and $ 4,893,207, net of debt discounts of $ 0 and $ 1,221,022, respectively for factoring advances. See "Note 8 – Advances
and Non-Convertible Notes Payable."

 Segment
Reporting

 Operating
segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by
the Chief Executive Officer, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company
currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company's core business.

 Net
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 The
Company computes earnings (loss) per share under ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented,
would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock
using the "treasury stock" and/or "if converted" methods, as applicable.

 The
computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 excludes potentially dilutive
securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
common stock during the period.

dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

 Recent
Accounting Pronouncements

 On
January 1, 2020, The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected
credit loss ("CECL") methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial
assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held to maturity debt securities. It also applies to Off-Balance Sheet
("OBS") credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees,
and other similar instruments) and net investments and leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition,
ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented
as an allowance rather than as a write down on available for sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that
it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The
adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 There
are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application
to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.

therein. If the Company is unable to extend the senior notes or elects not to do so, the Company will be required to repay the senior
notes through equity issuances, additional borrowings, cash flows from operations and/or other sources of liquidity. The warrants are
exercisable for five ( 5) years to purchase an aggregate of 2,514,331 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $ 19.50,
subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the warrants.

 Upon
the issuance of certain convertible notes, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded
in the notes, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number
of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. Upon the consummation of a 1:300 reverse split on
February 17, 2022, the Company determined it had a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares to cover all potential future
conversion transactions and the derivative liabilities were eliminated.

 On
July 22, 2022, simultaneously with the listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq, the Company issued 6,896,903 shares of
common stock for the conversion of its senior secured convertible notes in the principal amount of $ 37,714,966 together with accrued
interest in the amount of $ 1,470,884. The Company realized a gain on conversion of $ 2,625,378.

 On
September 12, 2022, in exchange for the waiver of liquidated damages in the amount of $ 2,726,022 due under the Registration Rights Agreement
dated November 29, 2021, by and among the Company and certain of its convertible note and warrant holders party thereto, the Company
reduced the exercise price of warrants to purchase 6,512,773 shares of common stock from $ 7.52 per share to $ 5.50 per share, in addition
to issuing additional warrants to purchase 2,726,022 shares of common stock at $5.50 per share. The Company realized a deemed dividend
of $ 462,556 as result of the repricing of certain warrants. The Company recorded an expense of $ 7,408,681 for the issuance of new warrants
for the waiver of liquidated damages.

 On
July 3, 2023, the Company closed a bridge financing in the principal amount of $ 1,031,250 for a purchase price of $ 825,000 with certain
accredited investors. The bridge notes matured on July 31, 2023 and were personally guaranteed by the Company's Chief Executive
Officer. The bridge notes were exchanged into the senior secured offering which closed on July 31, 2023 and are retired.

 On
July 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors as purchasers whereby, the Company
sold, and the investors purchased, approximately $ 15,000,000, which consisted of approximately $ 13,188,750 in cash and $ 1,031,250 of
existing debt of the Company which was exchanged for the notes and warrants issued in this offering in principal amount of senior secured
convertible notes and warrants and $ 500,000 in notes issued as commission. The transaction closed on August 1, 2023. The Senior Notes

of $ 1.50, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the Senior Notes. There is a 125 % conversion premium for any
principal converted to shares of common stock. In occurrence of an event of default, until such event of default has been cured, the
Holder may, at the Holder's option, convert all, or any part of, the Conversion Amount (into shares of Common Stock at a conversion
rate equal to the quotient of (x) the Redemption Premium of the Conversion Amount, divided by (y) the greater of (A) 90% of the lowest
VWAP of the Common Stock for the three (3) Trading Days immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion
Notice, and (B) the lesser of (1) 80% of the VWAP of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed
delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice, and (2) 80% of the price computed as the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAPs of the Common
Stock for each of the three (3) Trading Days with the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Day
period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice,
divided by (y) three (3) and (II) the floor price of $0.196. To secure its obligations thereunder and under the Purchase Agreement, the
Company has granted a security interest over substantially all of its assets to the collateral agent for the benefit of the Investors,
pursuant to a security agreement and a related trademark security agreement. The Company has the option to redeem the Senior Notes at
a 10 % redemption premium. There is a 125 % change in control redemption premium. The maturity date of the Senior Notes also may be extended
by the holders under circumstances specified therein. Danny Meeks, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and the Company's
subsidiaries each guaranteed the Company's obligations under the Senior Notes. In the event of default, the Company shall immediately
pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing (i) all outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid late charges on such principal,
multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice
or demand or other action by the holder or any other person or entity, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such
right to receive payment upon a bankruptcy event of default. The Warrants are exercisable for five years to purchase an aggregate of
 4,420,460 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.01, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the Warrants.
There were an additional 866,441 warrants issued at an exercise price of $ 1.50 per share for a period of five years as commission for
the offering, the Company credited additional paid in capital $ 3,279,570 and $ 753,567 for a debt discount for the fair value of warrants
issued in its senior secured debt offering and the warrants issued as commission for its senior secured debt offering, respectively.
Further, there was a $ 3,850,000 debt discount created for the offering costs and original issuance discount on the Senior Notes.

 NOTE
14 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 As
of December 31, 2021 the Company did not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares to satisfy the conversion or exercise of its
convertible notes, warrants, preferred shares, and options. As such, the Company recorded a derivative liability for these instruments.
Upon the consummation of a 1:300 reverse stock split on February 17, 2022, the Company rectified this authorized share shortfall and
reclassified the carrying value of its derivative liabilities as of that date to additional paid in capital.

the year ended December 31, 2021, upon issuance of convertible debt and warrants, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded
derivatives using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0 %, (2) expected volatility
of 110.59 % to 138.73 %, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.07 % to 1.14 %, and (4) expected life of 0.50 to 5.0 years.

 F- 28

 On
December 31, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $ 44,024,242 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model
based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0 %, (2) expected volatility of 136.12 %, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.19 %
to 1.15 %, and (4) expected life of 0.41 to 5.0 years.

 On
February 17, 2022, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $ 29,759,766 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model
based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0 %, (2) expected volatility of 155.45 %, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.06 %
to 1.85 %, and (4) expected life of 0.28 to 4.79 years.

 The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair
value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal
or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the
asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy
that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 Level
 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 Level
 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets
 with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs
 are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
 assets or liabilities.

 Level
 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 All
items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs.

 To
the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair
value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed
and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 The
Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company
believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different
methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair
value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are
that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

 As
of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 Items
recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the following
items as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

 Fluctuations
in the Company's stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As
the stock price increases/(decreases) for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally
increases/(decreases), therefore increasing/(decreasing) the liability on the Company's balance sheet. Decreases in the conversion
price of the Company's convertible notes are another driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting
period. As the conversion price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument (especially
those with full ratchet price protection) generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company's balance sheet.
Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the
Company's derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company's
expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurements. A 10% change in pricing
inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

 NOTE
15 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 Preferred
Stock

 The
Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $ 0.001 per share.

 Series
Z

 On
September 30, 2021, the Company authorized the issuance of 500 shares of Series Z Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share. The Series
Z Preferred Stock has a $ 20,000 stated value per share and all 500 Series Z preferred shares, in aggregate, are convertible into 19.98 %
of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (post conversion). The conversion rate is applicable on a pro rata basis to
each share of Series Z Preferred Stock upon conversion. This anti-dilutive conversion feature is in effect until such time an S-1 Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC in conjunction with a NASDAQ listing.

 F- 30

 On
September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a Series Z Preferred Stock Issuance Agreement with the Company's Chief Executive Officer
whereby the Company entered into a non–convertible note payable agreement for $ 1,000,000 in exchange for: (i) a $ 1,000,000 cash
payment directly paid to the warrant holder; and (ii) the issuance of 250 Series Z Preferred Shares having a fair value of $ 6,530,867.
The note bears interest of 8 % per annum and is due within three days of the Company's next closing of equity financing of $ 3,000,000
 or more. The proceeds received were allocated to the debt and equity on a relative fair value basis. Accordingly, debt discount of $ 867,213
was recognized with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. Since the due date is contingent upon a future event, the
entire debt discount was amortized to interest expense immediately.

 On
September 30, 2021, an investor owning warrants to purchase 520,834 common shares at $ 0.12 per share entered into an agreement to cancel
the aforementioned warrants in exchange for: (i) a cash payment of $ 1,000,000 received directly from the Chief Executive Officer; and
(ii) 250 Series Z Preferred Shares having a fair value of $ 6,530,867. The settlement resulted in a reduction in the derivative liability
of $ 5,750,067, an increase in non-convertible notes payable of $ 1,000,000, an increase in additional paid-in capital of $ 6,530,867 and
a loss on settlement of debt of $ 1,780,800.

 The
Series Z Preferred Shares are not convertible into shares of common stock until there is sufficient authorized but unissued shares of
common stock to satisfy the conversions, thus a derivative liability was not recorded for the shares of common stock underlying the Series
Z Preferred Shares.

 On
September 9, 2022, 117 shares of Series Z Preferred Stock were converted into 475,000 shares of common stock.

 On
November 16, 2022, 61 shares of Series Z Preferred Stock were converted into 250,000 shares of common stock.

 On
January 23, 2023, 72 shares of Series Z Preferred Stock were converted into 288,494 shares of common stock.

 On
July 28, 2023, the Company issued 1,013,500 shares of common stock to the Company's Chief Executive Officer for the exchange of
 250 shares of Series Z preferred stock.

 On
August 1, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination to retire the class of Series Z preferred stock.

Incentive Plan in October 2023 ("2023 Plan", and together with the 2014 Plan, 2015 Plan, 2016 Plan, 2017 Plan, 2018 Plan,
2021 Plan, and 2022 Plan, the "Plans"). The Plans are identical, except for the number of shares reserved for issuance under
each. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had granted an aggregate of 490,296 securities under the Plans since inception, with 891,371
shares available for future issuances.

 The
Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and our subsidiaries' employees, and for the grant of stock
options, stock bonus awards, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and other forms of stock compensation to our employees,
including officers, consultants and directors. The Plans also provide that the grant of performance stock awards may be paid out in cash
as determined by the committee administering the Plans.

 Option
valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a volatility figure derived from historical data. The Company accounts for the expected life
of options based on the contractual life of the options.

 There
were no options issued during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 NOTE
18 – INCOME TAXES

 The
Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (the "Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax
rate from 35 % to 21 %. ASC 740, "Income Taxes," requires that effects of changes in tax rates to be recognized in the period
enacted. Recognizing the late enactment of the Act and complexity of accurately accounting for its impact, the Securities and Exchange
Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 provides guidance that allows registrants to provide a reasonable estimate of the Act in
their financial statements and adjust the reported impact in a measurement period not to exceed one year.

 At December 31, 2023, the Company has available for
income tax purposes of approximately $ 47,264,135 and $ 34,856,380 in federal net operating loss (NOL) carry forward which begin expiring
in the year 2033 and with no expiration, respectively, that may be used to offset future taxable income. Further, the Company has available
for income tax purposes of approximately $ 61,608,152 and $ 20,512,363 in Colorado and Virginia, respectively, state net operating loss
(NOL) carry forward which begin expiring in the year 2033, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided
a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings
history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. Due to possible significant changes in the
Company's ownership, the future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited. All or portion of the remaining valuation
allowance may be reduced in future years based on an assessment of earnings sufficient to fully utilize these potential tax benefits.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has decreased the valuation allowance from $ 32,743,435 to $ 24,097,749.

 The
Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, which provides recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain
tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. ASC 740-10-25 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination
by tax authorities.

 Tax
position that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest
amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company had no tax positions relating
to open income tax returns that were considered to be uncertain.

 Sections
382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), provide for annual limitations on the utilization
of net operating loss and credit carryforwards if the Company were to undergo an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Code.
In general, an ownership change occurs whenever the percentage of the shares of a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by 5-percent
shareholders, as defined in Section 382 of the Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of the shares
of such corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by such 5-percent shareholders at any time over the preceding three years. In the
event such ownership change occurs, the annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating losses prior to full utilization.

 F- 35

 The
Company is required to file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and the state of Virginia. The Company is no longer
subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before December 31, 2015.

 The
Company's deferred taxes as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 consist of the following:

 The
Company follows ASC 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon
the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable
when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the
changes in the asset or liability during each period.

 If
available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized,
a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future
changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income
taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes
in different periods.
