NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 30, 2023

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

United States Antimony Corporation and its subsidiaries in the U.S. and Mexico (“USAC”, the “Company”, or “Our”) sell processed antimony, zeolite, and precious metals products in the U.S. and abroad. The Company processes antimony ore in the U.S. and Mexico primarily into antimony oxide and antimony metal at its facilities in Montana and Mexico. Our antimony oxide is used to form a flame-retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings and paper, as a color fastener in paint, and as a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Our antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance. In its operations in Idaho, the Company mines and processes zeolite, a group of industrial minerals used in soil amendment and fertilizer, water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, and other miscellaneous applications.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of the Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2023, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2023.

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as previously reported.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, ”Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2023 and determined that it had no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

At June 30, 2023 and 2022, the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive were as follows:

	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022
Warrants		12,346,215		12,489,922
Convertible preferred stock		-		1,692,672
TOTAL POSSIBLE DILUTIVE SHARES		12,346,215		14,182,594

NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales of products for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

	For the six months ended
	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022
Antimony	$	3,202,800	$	5,301,011

NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES

Inventories at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted primarily of finished antimony products, antimony metal, antimony oxide, and antimony ore, and finished zeolite products. Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or estimated net realizable value. Finished antimony products, metal and oxide, and finished zeolite products costs include raw materials, direct labor, processing facility overhead costs and freight. Inventories at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Antimony Metal	$	464,756	$	142,230
Antimony Oxide		323,466		509,643
Antimony Ore and Concentrates		1,102,832		545,373
Total antimony		1,891,054		1,197,246
Zeolite		459,251		177,822
TOTAL INVENTORIES	$	2,350,305	$	1,375,068

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventories were valued at cost, except for the portion of inventory related to Mexican operations, which was valued at net realizable value because the production costs of the Mexican inventory were greater than the amount the Company expected to receive on the sale of antimony contained in inventory. The adjustment to inventory for net realizable value was $456,238 and $136,836 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Antimony oxide and metal inventory consisted of finished product held at the Company’s plants in Montana and Mexico. Antimony ore and concentrates were held primarily at sites in Mexico. The Company’s zeolite inventory consisted of saleable zeolite material at the Company’s plant in Idaho.

	$	265,636

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company follows U.S. GAAP guidance in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies and evaluates such accruals and contingencies for each reporting period. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a loss could be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

From time to time, the Company is assessed fines and penalties by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”). Using appropriate regulatory channels, management may contest these proposed assessments. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no accrued liabilities relating to such assessments.

The Company pays various royalties on the sale of zeolite products. On a combined basis, royalties generally vary around 8% to 13%. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued royalties payable of $45,359 and $435,075, respectively. The decrease in royalties payable in 2023 was primarily due to the Company finalizing its estimates and paying a royalty obligation in 2023 that had been accumulating since 2016.

June 30, 2023

On August 8, 2022, the Company executed a preliminary Purchase Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with SB Wadley SA de CV (“Wadley”) whereby the Company leases, with an option to acquire, mining claims located in Mexico known as the Wadley Property. Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Wadley eight monthly installments of $10,000 plus VAT for the right to mine and conduct geological and resource studies as due diligence and exploration on the Wadley Property. At the end of such eight-month period, should the Company choose to exercise its option to acquire following due diligence and assessment of geological and resource studies, the Company agreed to pay Wadley $2,230,000 and seven annual payments of $1,160,000. The due diligence period under the Agreement was extended to October 15, 2023. On October 12, 2023, the Company officially notified Wadley that it did not intend to acquire the Wadley Property and terminated this Agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company expects to incur a loss on disposal of assets of approximately $140,000 related to the termination of this Agreement.

Mexican Tax Assessment

In 2015, the Mexican tax authority (“SAT”) initiated an audit of the USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return. In October 2016, as a result of its audit, SAT assessed the Company $13.8 million pesos, which was approximately $666,400 in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) as of December 31, 2016. SAT’s assessment was based on the disallowance of specific costs that the Company deducted on the 2013 USAMSA income tax return. The assessment was settled in 2018 with no assessment due from the Company.

In early 2019, the Company was notified that SAT re-opened its assessment of USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return and, in November 2019, SAT assessed the Company $16.3 million pesos, which was approximately $795,000 USD as of December 31, 2021.

Management reviewed the 2019 assessment notice from SAT and, similar to the earlier assessment, believes the findings have no merit. An appeal was filed by the Company in November 2019 suspending SAT from taking immediate action regarding the assessment. The Company posted a guarantee of the amount in March 2020 as is required under the appeal process. In August 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against SAT for resolution of the process and, in December 2020, filed closing arguments. In 2022, the Mexican court ruled against the Company in the above matter. The Company subsequently appealed the ruling, which is still pending.

As of June 30, 2023, the updated SAT assessment was approximately $21.6 million pesos, which was approximately $1,265,000 USD for $350,000 of unpaid income taxes and $915,000 of interest and penalties. Management along with its legal counsel assessed the possible outcomes for this tax audit and believes, based on discussions with its tax attorneys located in Mexico, that the more likely than not outcome will be that the Company will be successful in its appeal resulting in no tax due. Management determined that no amount should be accrued at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022 relating to this potential tax liability. There can be no assurance that the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

If an issue addressed during the SAT audit is resolved in a manner inconsistent with management expectations, the Company will record changes to tax liabilities, recognize penalties in general and administrative expense, interest will be recorded as interest expense and record the tax expense associated with the assessment.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On January 25, 2023, the holders of 1,692,672 shares of Series D Preferred stock converted their respective preferred shares and the Company issued 1,692,672 shares of common stock. The Company also paid the holders $787,730 for dividends payable as declared on November 28, 2022. 1,590,672 shares of the 1,692,672 shares of Series D Preferred stock that were converted and $740,261 of the $787,730 of dividends paid related to the estate of John Lawrence, who was a prior President and Chairman of the Company.

On January 26, 2023, in conjunction with its share repurchase plan, the Company returned to treasury and cancelled 418,696 of its common shares which were repurchased prior to December 31, 2022 for $202,980.

NOTE 10 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company is organized and managed with four business segments, which represent our operating units: United States antimony operations, Mexican antimony operations, precious metals recovery and United States zeolite operations.

The Puerto Blanco mill and the Madero smelter at the Company’s Mexico operation bring antimony up to an intermediate or finished stage, which may be sold directly to customers in the United States or shipped to the United States operation for finishing at the Company’s plant near Thompson Falls, Montana. The Puerto Blanco mill in Mexico is the site of our crushing and flotation plant, and a cyanide leach plant which recovers precious metals after the ore goes through the crushing and flotation cycles. A precious metals recovery plant is operated in conjunction with the antimony processing plant at Thompson Falls, Montana, where a 99% precious metals mix is produced. The zeolite operation produces zeolite near Preston, Idaho. Almost all the sales of products from the United States antimony and zeolite operations are to customers in the United States. Sales to foreign customers are primarily to customers in Canada.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

History

United States Antimony Corporation was incorporated in Montana in January 1970 to mine and produce antimony products. In December 1983, the Company suspended antimony ore mining operations in the U.S. but continued to produce antimony products using foreign sources of antimony ore. In April 1998, the Company formed United States Antimony Mexico SA de CV (“USAMSA”) to smelt antimony in Mexico, and, in August 2005, the Company formed Antimonio de Mexico, S. A. de C. V. (“ADM”) to explore and develop antimony and silver deposits in Mexico. The Company formed Bear River Zeolite Company (“BRZ”) in 2000 for the purpose of mining and producing zeolite in southeastern Idaho. Our principal business is the production and sale of antimony, silver, gold, and zeolite products. In May 2012, our shares of common stock started trading on the NYSE MKT (now NYSE AMERICAN) under the symbol UAMY.

Although we extract minerals from the Los Juarez, Mexico antimony property and the Bear River, Idaho zeolite property that we later process and sell, each of our properties is classified under Regulation S-K Item 1300 as an exploration stage property and the Company is classified as an exploration stage issuer because we have not prepared a technical report summary for any of our properties making a determination that the property contains proven mineral reserves or probable mineral reserves.

Antimony Division

The Burns Mining District of Sanders County, MT, which is approximately 15 miles west of Thompson Falls, MT, is the location of one of our antimony smelters and precious metals plants. We hold 2 patented claims, where the plant is located. Mining was suspended at this site in December 1983, because antimony ore could be purchased more economically from foreign sources; currently, environmental restrictions preclude mining at this site.

Since 1983, we have relied on foreign sources for antimony ore, and there are risks of interruption in procurement from these sources and/or volatile changes in world market prices for these materials that are not controllable by us. We have sources of antimony in Mexico, but we also depend on foreign companies for antimony ore. We expect to continue to receive antimony from our owned and leased properties in Mexico and from foreign suppliers in Canada, Mexico, and Central America.

In Montana, we primarily produce antimony oxide, antimony metal, and precious metals. Our antimony oxide is used in conjunction with a halogen to form a synergistic flame-retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings, and paper. Our antimony oxide is also used as a color fastener in paint and as a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Our antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries and ordnance.

We estimate (but have not independently confirmed) that our present share of the domestic market and international market for antimony oxide products is approximately 4% and less than 1%, respectively. We are the only significant U.S. producer of antimony products, while China supplies 92% of the world antimony demand. We believe we are competitive both domestically and worldwide due to the following factors:

	·	We have a reputation for quality products delivered on a timely basis.

	·	We have the only two operating, permitted antimony smelters in North and Central America.

	·	We are the only U.S. producer of antimony products.

	·	We can ship on short notice to domestic customers.

	·	Our smelter in Coahuila is the largest operating antimony smelter in Mexico or the United States with a current maximum processing capacity of approximately 32,600 pounds of antimony ore per day and permitting to expand capacity an additional 70%.

Zeolite Division

We own 100% of BRZ. BRZ has a lease with Zeolite LLC (f/k/a Webster Farm, L.L.C.) that entitles BRZ to surface mine and process zeolite on property located near Preston, Idaho, in exchange for a royalty payment. The annual royalty payment is the greater of: (1) the minimum annual royalty of $60,000, adjusted annually for the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, or (2) $11.00 per ton for the first ten thousand tons, $9.90 per ton for tons in excess of ten thousand up to twenty thousand, and $8.80 per ton for tons in excess of twenty thousand. This Zeolite LLC lease also requires BRZ to pay $10,000 to the lessor on March 1 of each year during the term of the lease which ends March 1, 2025. BRZ also pays other royalties on the sale of zeolite products. In total, royalties vary from 8% to 13% of sales. In addition, BRZ can surface mine and process zeolite on property owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management that is adjacent to the Company’s Preston, Idaho property after obtaining certain permits. Also, given the mining difficulties in the winter season, BRZ constructed warehouses to store mined zeolite prior to the winter season to remain in production during the winter season.

“Zeolite” refers to a group of industrial minerals that consist of hydrated aluminosilicates that hold cations such as calcium, sodium, ammonium, various heavy metals, and potassium in their crystal lattice. Water is loosely held in cavities in the lattice. BRZ zeolite is regarded as one of the best zeolites in the world due to its high cation exchange capacity (CEC) of approximately 180-220 meq/100 gr. (which predicts plant nutrient availability and retention in soil), its hardness and high clinoptilolite content (which is an effective barrier to prevent problematic radionuclide movement), its absence of clay minerals, and its low sodium content. Our zeolite is used in:

	☐	Soil Amendment and Fertilizer. Zeolite has been successfully used to fertilize golf courses, sports fields, parks and common areas, and high value agricultural crops.

	☐	Water Filtration. Zeolite is used for particulate, heavy metal and ammonium removal in swimming pools, municipal water systems, fisheries, fish farms, and aquariums.

	☐	Sewage Treatment. Zeolite is used in sewage treatment plants to remove nitrogen and as a carrier for microorganisms.

	☐	Nuclear Waste and Other Environmental Cleanup. Zeolite has shown a strong ability to selectively remove strontium, cesium, radium, uranium, and various other radioactive isotopes from solution. Zeolite can also be used for the cleanup of soluble metals such as mercury, chromium, copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, antimony, calcium, silver and uranium.

	☐	Odor Control. A major cause of odor around cattle, hog, and poultry feed lots is the generation of the ammonium in urea and manure. The ability of zeolite to absorb ammonium prevents the formation of ammonia gas, which disperses the odor.

	☐	Gas Separation. Zeolite has been used for some time to separate gases, to re-oxygenate downstream water from sewage plants, smelters, pulp and paper plants, and fishponds and tanks, and to remove carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from methane generators as organic waste, sanitary landfills, municipal sewage systems, animal waste treatment facilities, and is excellent in pressure swing apparatuses.

	☐	Animal Nutrition. According to certain third-party research, feeding up to 2% zeolite increases growth rates, decreases conversion rates, and prevents scours.

	☐	Miscellaneous Uses. Other uses include catalysts, petroleum refining, concrete, solar energy and heat exchange, desiccants, pellet binding, horse and kitty litter, floor cleaner, traction control, ammonia removal from mining waste, and carriers for insecticides, pesticides and herbicides.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, antimony revenue decreased $881,920, or 36%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the lower sales price per pound, which was largely in line with the market rates for antimony, and the decrease in pounds sold, which was primarily due to less demand coupled with increased competition for sales at the lower price per pound, in 2023 compared to 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, antimony revenue decreased $2,098,211, or 40%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the lower sales price per pound, which was largely in line with the market rates for antimony, and the decrease in pounds sold, which was primarily due to antimony ore supply shortages during the first quarter of 2023 related to a third-party supplier with machinery and equipment failures as well as less demand coupled with increased competition for sales at the lower price per pound, in 2023 compared to 2022.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was lower by $2,127,852 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the lower sales price per pound, the decrease in pounds sold, processing of antimony ore with less antimony percentage concentrate, and vendor and labor cost increases in 2023 compared to 2022.

Average gross profit per ton		26.92		27.98		(1.05	)		(3.8	)%

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, zeolite revenue decreased $233,300, or 23%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to both the decrease in tons sold and a lower sales price per ton, which was largely due to a change in the mix of product sales, in 2023 compared to 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, zeolite revenue decreased $425,249, or 25%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a lower sales price per ton, which was largely due to a change in the mix of product sales in 2023 compared to 2022, as well as less tons of zeolite sold due to a significant equipment failure in the first quarter of 2023. The cone of BRZ’s main cone crusher failed and production was curtailed until a new cone could be sourced, delivered, and installed. The new cone is equipped with performance monitoring features that are expected to enhance our preventive maintenance program, contribute to longer and more reliable run times, and enable a material increase in production. The failure of the original cone curtailed production for approximately two months in the first quarter of 2023 until completion of the new cone acquisition and installation. The curtailment of production resulted in lower revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The new cone has operated significantly more reliably since installation was completed and production rates have increased.

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

We present EBTIDA, a non-GAAP financial measurement, to supplement other measures of our financial performance. We believe that EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance because it eliminates non-cash expenses that do not reflect our underlying business performance. We use this measure to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate our performance.

We had EBITDA of ($671,658) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to EBITDA of $1,604,745 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Net change in cash during period	$	(5,373,451	)	$	(13,050,579	)

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13,686,927.

Cash flow used by operating activities was $3,191,496 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $745,038 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $3,936,534 decrease in cash flow from operating activities was attributable primarily to the differential between the net loss generated during 2023 compared to the net income generated during 2022, an increase in the use of cash in accounts receivable and inventories in 2023, and an increase in the payment of royalties in 2023. The majority of the increase in accounts receivable was due to product shipments towards the end of the second quarter of 2023, which were billed by the end of the second quarter of 2023 and collected after the second quarter of 2023. The increase in inventories was primarily due to an increase in antimony ore inventory in Mexico in 2023, which can be used in future processing. The increase in the payment of royalties was primarily due to the Company finalizing its estimates and paying a royalty obligation in 2023 that had been accumulating since 2016.

Cash flow used by investing activities was $1,347,856 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $13,775,850 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The use of cash in 2023 related to purchases of fixed assets primarily at BRZ, which included the purchase of a new cone for the cone crusher. The use of cash in 2022 related primarily to investing cash in U.S. treasury bonds and other fixed income funds to improve return on cash.

Cash flow used by financing activities increased by $814,332 to $834,099 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $19,767 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase in the use of cash was primarily due to the payment of dividends of $787,730 on January 25, 2023 to the holders of 1,692,672 shares of Series D Preferred stock related to the conversion of these shares into common stock.

We are planning to use our funds to make improvements to our operations with the goal of increasing production and decreasing costs and for revenue growth. Also, we plan to continue to review the operations and financial results of each segment to make decisions that benefit the Company overall.

In the past, the Company has been successful in raising required capital from sale of common stock and, to a lesser extent, from debt issuance. As a result of planned operations and potential equity sales and debt borrowings, management believes cash flows from operations and existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to conduct planned operations and meet contractual obligations for the next 12 months.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusions of Management Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the PEO and the PFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as it was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures related to segregation of accounting duties.

Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. 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. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external accounting and legal professionals. As the Company grows, management expects to increase the number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassifications	Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, ”Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2023 and determined that it had no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
