ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements
that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may”, “could”, “would”,
“should”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “estimate”,
“target”, “project”, “intend”, “foresee” and similar expressions. These statements include,
among others, statements regarding our expected business outlook, anticipated financial and operating results, our business strategy
and means to implement the strategy, our objectives, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, the likelihood of our success in
expanding our business, financing plans, budgets, working capital needs and sources of liquidity. By their nature, forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.
Forward-looking
statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and
assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements
include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the expansion of product offerings geographically or through new
marketing applications, the timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions.
These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. In addition, even if our actual results
are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report, those results may not be indicative of results
or developments in subsequent periods. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but
are not limited to, the following:
●
our
ability to raise capital when needed and on acceptable terms and conditions;
●
our
ability to manage credit and debt structures from debt holders;
●
our
ability to generate revenues and manage the growth of our business;
●
competitive
pressures;
●
general
economic conditions;
●
our
ability to attract and retain management, and to integrate and maintain technical information and management information systems;
●
our
ability to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”); and
●
compliance
with laws and regulations, including those relating to corporate governance matters and tax matters, as well as any future changes
to such laws and regulations.
Except
as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we are under no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise. Investors, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider
the above-mentioned factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot guarantee future results or performance.
OVERVIEW
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. 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 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 (the “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.
22
The
Thumzup App enables users to select a brand they want to post about on social media. Once the Thumzup user selects the brand and takes
a photo (using the App), the App will post the photo and a caption to the user’s social media account(s). As of the date of this
filing, Instagram is the Company’s initial social media platform that is being used, due to its wide acceptance and its great functionality
using photographs. The Company expects to add other social media platforms in the future. For the advertiser, the Thumzup system enables
brands to get real people to promote products to their friends, rather than displaying banner ads that consumers now mostly ignore, or
contracting with expensive professional influencers. The Company has recorded nominal revenues during the three months ended June 30,
2025, and continues with the development of enhancements to its App and marketing efforts.
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.

Series
A Preferred Stock
On
September 21, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with four accredited investors (the “Series A Securities Purchase
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Series A Securities Purchase Agreement, the company sold 16,446 Shares of its Series A Preferred Convertible
Voting Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) at a per share price of $45.00 per preferred share and received gross proceeds of
$740,000.
On
September 21, 2022, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Powers, Preferences,
Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Preferred Convertible Voting Stock, which was amended and restated on September 26, 2022 (the
“Series A Certificate of Designation”).
Pursuant
to the Certificate of Designations, the Company designated 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred. The Series A Preferred
votes together with the common stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, provided that each holder of Series A Preferred shall be
limited to voting the number of votes that is 9.99% of all shares entitled to vote, except as required by law.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 4 of the Series A Certificate of Designation, each holder shall have the right, at any time and from time
to time, at such holder’s option, to convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred into the number of
shares of common stock as set forth herein. Each share of Series A Preferred initially converts into 15 shares of common stock (the “Conversion
Rate”) at a reference rate of $3.00 per share of common stock (the “Reference Rate”) subject to adjustments set forth
in Sections 4(g) and (h) of the Series A Certificate of Designation.
The
holders of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive, in cash or in-kind at Company’s election, in an amount equal to $3.50
per share. If paid in kind, the dividend shall be in shares of Series A Preferred (the “Series A Dividend Shares”) valued
at the $45.00 per share of Series A Preferred (the “Purchase Price”) unless the closing price of the common stock on the
trading day prior to the issuance of the dividend is below the Reference Rate, in which case the Series A Dividend Shares shall be valued
at the Purchase Price adjusted pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 3 of the Series A Certificate of Designations.
The
Series A Preferred was offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act.
Under
the Series A Certificate of Designations, at no time may all or a portion of the Series A Preferred be converted if the number of shares
of common stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by
the Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock that would result in the holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the common stock outstanding at such time (the
“4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that, upon the holder providing the Company with sixty-one (61)
days’ advance notice (the “4.99% Waiver Notice”) that the holder would like to waive Section 4(f) of the Series A Certificate
of Designations with regard to any or all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred, Section 4(f) will
be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Series A Preferred referenced in the 4.99% Waiver Notice but shall in
no event waive the 9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

Series
B Preferred Stock
On
March 5, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary
of State of Nevada designating 40,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”).
The
Company recently raised $805,000 in a Series B Preferred offering during the period March - May 2024. Each share of Series B Preferred
cost $50 and initially converts into 10 shares of common stock and pays a 10% dividend on a quarterly basis and has downside price protection.
Once the company up-lists on a National Stock Exchange, the Series B Preferred converts at a 20% discount to the price of the offering
in this S-1 and the downside price protections are eliminated. There is a call provision that goes into effect six (6) months from the
listing on a National Exchange, that if the common stock trades at a 100% premium to the conversion price for 10 days or more, the Company
can force the conversion of the Series B Preferred into common stock. The Company has agreed to pay the costs of Rule 144 legal opinions
for the holders of the Series B Preferred.
Pursuant
to the Series B Certificate of Designations, each holder of the Series B Preferred has the right, at any time and from time to time,
at the shareholder’s option to convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred into the number of shares
of Common Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred is initially convertible into 10 shares of common stock at a reference rate of $5.00
per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustments to set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designations.
Upon
the Company’s up-listing to Nasdaq, the Series B Preferred became convertible at $4.00 per share and the downside price protections
were eliminated. On March 29, 2025, certain call protection provisions in the Series B Preferred went into effect, providing that if
the common stock trades at a 100% premium to the conversion price of the Series B Preferred for 10 days or more, the Company can force
the conversion of the Series B Preferred into shares of common stock. The Company has agreed to pay the costs of Rule 144 legal opinions
for the holders of the Series B Preferred.
The
holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to receive dividends, in cash or in-kind at the Company’s election, in an amount equal
to $1.25 per share per quarter. If paid in kind, the number of shares of common stock issued for the dividend shall be equal to the quotient
of the dividend payable divided by the volume weighted average price on the dividend date. The
Series B Preferred was offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act.
On
July 18, 2025, we filed the Withdrawal of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and terminated the designation
of our Series B Preferred. At the time of the filing of the Withdrawal of Designation, there were no shares of Series B Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding. The Withdrawal of Designation became effective upon filing and eliminated from the Articles of Incorporation
all matters as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Powers, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series B Preferred
Convertible Voting Stock.

June 17, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Series C Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary
of State of Nevada designating 200,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Preferred Stock. On
June 30, 2025, the Company filed an Amended Series C Certificate of Designation which provides that except as otherwise required by the
Nevada Revised Statutes, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares.
The
Series C Preferred Stock is functionally the same as our common stock except for the inclusion of either, at the election of the holder,
a 4.99% or 9.99% beneficial ownership equity blocker and a liquidation preference in the event of a Liquidation Event (as defined in
the Series C Certificate of Designation) so that before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of junior stock, the
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall receive a number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the amount per share such
holder would receive if such holder converted such Series C Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of such payment.
28

Series C Certificate of Designation for authorizes 200,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred
Stock has a stated value of $60.00. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of our common stock,
subject to certain adjustments. The initial conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock is $6.00 per share of common
stock.
Exchange
Listing . There is no trading market available for the Series C Preferred Stock. We do not intend to list or quote the Series C Preferred
Stock on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
Ranking. The
Series C Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, but ranks senior to our common stock and any
preferred stock issued after the Series C Preferred Stock. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
entity, the Series C Preferred Stock shall maintain its relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for
in the Series C Certificate of Designation. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will

On
July 8, 2025, in connection with the Series C Offering, we sold an aggregate of 108,333 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, convertible
into 1,083,333 shares of our common stock, at $60.00 per share (each share of Series C is convertible into 10 shares of common stock)
on a best-efforts basis for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 6,499,980 prior to deducting placement
agent fees and offering expenses payable by us. The net proceeds to us from the Series C Offering were approximately $6.04 million
after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by us. There is currently no established public market for the Series
C Preferred Stock, and we do not expect a market to develop. The Series C Preferred Stock contains a beneficial ownership limitation,
pursuant to which a holder may not convert the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock to the extent that, after such conversion,
the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than either 4.99% or 9.99% of our outstanding common stock, as
initially elected by the holder.

Contractual
Obligations
Our
contractual obligations are included in our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this
Quarterly Report. To the extent that funds generated from our operations, together with our existing capital resources, are insufficient
to meet future requirements, we will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financings. No assurance can be given
that any additional financing will be made available to us or will be available on acceptable terms should such a need arise.
30
Inflation
The
Company’s results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management cannot predict the impact, if any, inflation
might have on its operations in the future.
Cybersecurity
Risk
Management and Strategy
We
recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information
systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data.
Managing
Material Risks & Integrated Overall Risk Management
We
have strategically integrated cybersecurity risk management into our broader risk management framework to promote a company-wide culture
of cybersecurity risk management. This integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of our decision-making
processes at every level. Our management team continuously evaluates and addresses cybersecurity risks in alignment with our business
objectives and operational needs.
Oversee
Third-party Risk
Because
we are aware of the risks associated with third-party service providers, we have implemented stringent processes to oversee and manage
these risks. We conduct thorough security assessments of all third-party providers before engagement and maintain ongoing monitoring
to ensure compliance with our cybersecurity standards. The monitoring includes annual assessments of the SOC reports of our providers
and implementing complementary controls. This approach is designed to mitigate risks related to data breaches or other security incidents
originating from third parties.
Risks
from Cybersecurity Threats
We
have not encountered cybersecurity challenges that have materially impaired our operations or financial standing.
Known
Trends, Events and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the technology and social media industry, including but not limited
to, development by competitors of new products and applications, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and
the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. In addition, the consequences of the ongoing geopolitical conflicts, such
as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, including related sanctions and
countermeasures, and the effects of rising global inflation, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic
conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations.
Additionally, recent changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have
impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, tariffs, international trade relations, unemployment,
immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. Although we cannot predict the impact,
if any, of these changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business. For a further discussion of factors that may affect
future operating results see the sections entitled “Risk Factors.”
Other
than as discussed above and elsewhere in this report, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have
a material effect on our financial condition.
