Thumzup
Media Corporation
Notes
to the Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September
30, 2024
Note
1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations
Thumzup
Media Corporation (“Thumzup” or “Company”) was incorporated on October 27, 2020, under the laws of the State
of Nevada, and its headquarters is located in Los Angeles, California. The Company’s primary business is software as a service
provider dedicated to connecting businesses with consumers and allowing the business to incentivize consumers to post about their experience
on social media. Thumzup’s mission is to democratize social media marketing by connecting advertisers with non-professional people,
who can be paid for their posts about products and services they love through its technology which utilizes a proprietary mobile app
(“App”). The App generates scalable word-of-mouth product posts and recommendations for advertisers on social media and is
designed to connect advertisers with individuals who are willing to promote their products online.
The
Company is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such,
has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
Note
2 – Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company was only recently formed, has not
yet established profitable operations and has incurred losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise additional funds not provided by operations
through loans or through sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional
capital or in achieving profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The
Company recognized its first revenues in December 2021. It has been reliant on equity funding for its operations. At September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $ 110,246 and $ 259,212 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023, the Company used $ 1,053,175 and $ 1,911,767 to fund operating activities, respectively. For the nine months ended September
30, 2024, the Company raised approximately $ 161,228 , net of offering expenses of $ 1,628 , from the sale of 36,256 shares of its common
stock and approximately $ 805,000 from the sale of 16,100 shares of Preferred Series B stock, less issuance costs of $ 25,000 . The Company
may need to raise additional funding and manage expenses in order to continue as a going concern.
Note
3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article
8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Certain
information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these
interim unaudited condensed financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). The December 31, 2023 balance sheet is derived from
those restated financial statements.
8
Use
of Estimates
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. These
assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
The Company’s management periodically reviews estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes
in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise these estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used in the valuation
allowance related to deferred tax assets and capitalized software costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include all cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or
less when purchased.
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $ 110,246
and $ 259,212 ,
respectively. 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 major financial institutions. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the uninsured balances amounted
to $ 0 and
$ 1,850 ,
respectively. There is a risk the Company may lose uninsured balances over the FDIC insurance limit.
Prepaid
Expenses
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 52,072 and $ 6,321 in prepaid expenses, respectively. The Company’s
prepaid expenses as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were primarily for marketing, filing, and listing fees for services not
yet rendered.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment, which consists of computer equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are included in general and administrative expenses on our statement of operations.
However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period
incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts
and the related gains or losses are reflected in the statements of operations in gains from sales of property and equipment, net.
The
estimated useful life for computer equipment is three years. We evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned
to computer equipment at the end of each fiscal year. Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was
$ 701 and $ 1,000 , respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 2,426 and $ 2,293 , respectively.
9
Capitalized
Software Development Costs
We
capitalize certain costs related to the development and enhancement of the Thumzup platform. In accordance with authoritative guidance,
including ASC 350-40, we began to capitalize these costs when the technological feasibility was established and preliminary development
efforts were successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it was probable that the project would
be completed and the software would be used as intended. Such costs are amortized when placed in service, on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three years. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria
together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred and recorded in product development expenses on our
statements of operations. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result in additional features or functionality that would
generate additional revenue are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally three years. The
Company does not capitalize any testing or maintenance costs. The accounting for these capitalized software costs requires us to make
significant judgments, assumptions and estimates related to the timing and amount of recognized capitalized software development costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized $ 175,770 and $ 108,313
of costs related to the development of software applications, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs was $ 26,644 and
$ 8,560 for the for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs was $ 65,082
and $ 14,364 for the for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The balance of capitalized software was $ 253,302
and $ 142,614 , net of accumulated amortization of $ 90,981 and $ 25,899 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The
Company evaluates its capitalized software costs for impairment annually, at year-end. As of December 31, 2023, the Company determined
no impairment of its capitalized software costs was warranted.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when services are realized.
The
Company’s revenues are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“ASC 606”).
The fees 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 upon 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.
We
derive our revenue principally from service fees paid by the client for the use of our platform in connection with our advertising technology
platform which incentivizes users to leave reviews of our clients. Our sole performance obligation in the transaction is to connect clients
with end-users to facilitate the completion of a successful review on the user’s social media accounts.
Judgment
is required in evaluating the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis based on whether we control the service provided to
the end-user and are the principal in the transaction (gross), or we arrange for other parties to provide the service to the end-user
and are the agent in the transaction (net). We have concluded that we are the agent in our current transactions as we arrange for users
to provide the service to the clients and the users post reviews on social media accounts controlled by the users. The assessment of
whether we are considered the principal or the agent in a transaction could impact the accounting for these transactions and change the
timing and amount of revenue recognized. The percentage fee the Company charges is not variable.
Cost
of Goods Sold
The
Company classifies its credit card transaction fees as cost of goods sold.
10
Client
Deposits
Thumzup’s
clients generally prepay to utilize the Company’s technology platform. All client deposits for services are recorded as a client
deposit liability upon receipt. Upon a user leaving a qualified review for the client, as defined in Thumzup’s Mobile Terms and
Conditions, the Company transfers the fee payable to the user to a user account balances liability account and realizes the fees payable
to the Company as revenue. The Company holds all client deposits and user account balances in cash or cash-equivalents, including money
market accounts.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes the asset and liability approach to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences existing
at each balance sheet date using currently enacted tax rates in accordance with ASC 740. ASC 740 considers the differences between financial
statement treatment and tax treatment of certain transactions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. 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 of a change in tax rate is recognized
as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date of that rate.
The
Company has no tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but
for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.
The
Company recognizes any interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
For the period ending September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
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 period. 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 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.
Potentially
dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,”
