Thumzup Media Corporation
Notes to
Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September
30, 2021
Note 1 - Business Organization
and Nature of Operations
Thumzup
Media Corporation (“Thumzup” or “Company”) was incorporated October 27, 2020, under the laws of the State of
Nevada, and its headquarters is located in Carson City, Nevada. The Company is a pre-revenue software company dedicated to building an
influencer community around its mobile app (“App”). Once fully developed, the App will generate scalable word-of-mouth product
posts and recommendations for advertiser on social media and is designed to connect advertisers with individuals who are willing to promote
their products online.
The
Thumzup App will enable 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 accounts. For the advertiser,
the Thumzup system enables brands to get real people to promote their products to their friends, rather than displaying banner ads that
people are tuning out.
The
Company is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such,
have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
Note 2 – 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 furnished 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.
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.
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. The
Company’s restricted cash consists of cash the Company is contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with the terms of its
November 19, 2020, Note Purchase and Security Agreement (See note 4). The Company initially deposited $100,000 of the financing proceeds
into an escrow with an attorney selected by the note Holders (See Note 4) to be used solely for costs associated with registering the
Company’s shares issuable upon conversion of the notes. After legal and escrow costs, the balance may be used by the Company for
general corporate purposes.
As of
September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $243,914 and $101,317, respectively,
and $83,500 and $100,000, respectively, in restricted cash.
7
Prepaid Expenses
The Company’s prepaid
expenses consists primarily of fees paid to legal counsel and accountants to assist in the registration of the Company’s common
stock with the United States Securities Commission (“SEC”).
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 periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives
assigned to computer equipment. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,196.
Intangible
assets
Intangible
assets represent costs incurred in the pursuit of the acquisition of Trademarks. Upon successful completion of the registration of our
Trademarks, the Company will amortize using a straight-line method consistent with the expected future cash flows related to the intangible
asset. Amortized intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances exist that indicate the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment exist, an estimate of undiscounted net cash flows is used in
measuring whether the carrying amount of the asset or related asset group is recoverable.
Measurement
of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the asset or asset group’s carrying value and fair value.
Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including market and income approaches as considered necessary. No impairment
has been recorded as of September 30, 2021
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and development expenses primarily consist of outside contractor costs related to engineering, design and development of a working prototype
Thumzup TM App. Generally accepted accounting principles define research costs as a planned search or investigation to discover
new knowledge with the hope that the results will eventually be useful in creating new products or services or significant improvements
in existing products or services. Capitalization of research and development costs for software begins upon the establishment of technological
feasibility, which is generally the completion of a working prototype that has been certified as having no critical bugs and is a release
candidate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, research and development costs for software were expensed when incurred as they
related to the initial product development stage for our Thumzup TM App.
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, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 nine months ending September 30, 2021, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
8
Note 3 – 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 is a pre-revenue, software and services company that relies on short-term debt and equity funding for its operations. At September
30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $ 243,914
and $ 101,317 ,
and the Company used $573,356 to fund operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company may need to raise
additional funding and manage expenses in order to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 - Senior Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes
On November
19, 2020, the Company issued $215,000 in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (“Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes mature
on November 21, 2021 and accrue interest at eight (8%) per annum. Accrued interest maybe paid quarterly or converted in to shares of
common stock.
The
Company’s borrowings are subject to a Note Purchase and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) which, among other things,
contains certain covenants. In accordance with the Agreement, the Company secures the Senior Notes with all of the Company’s intellectual
property now or hereafter owned or created by or on behalf of the Company’s founding shareholders to operate the Company’s
business. The Company’s founding shareholders stock (“Founders’ Stock”) is pledged as additional collateral to
secure the terms and covenants of the Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. The Founders’ Stock is held in escrow with
legal counsel selected by the Senior Note holders (“Holders”).
The
founding shareholders (“Founders”) have agreed to take no salaries, consulting fees, loans or payment of any kind from the
Company until after full satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) registration of the shares underlying the Senior Notes
with the SEC” on Form S-1; (2) obtaining a trading symbol from FINRA or its successor; (3) listing of the Company’s shares
of common stock (“Common Stock”) for trading on OTCQB or a national securities exchange such as Nasdaq; (4) completing an
equity raise of at least $3 million at a pre-money valuation for the Company of at least $10 million; and (5) timely having made all
periodic and other filings required of a “reporting” company with the SEC for a period of not less than 12 months.
The
Company may prepay all or any portion of the Senior Notes, after providing 30 days prior written notice, at the Company’s option,
pro rata to each Holder, by paying one hundred thirty percent (130%) of (1) the then outstanding principal amount plus (2) accrued and
unpaid interest on that principal amount. If pre-payment is offered, the Holders may elect to convert into shares of Common Stock instead
of accepting pre-payment. In the event the Company repays the Senior Notes, a Holder, shall have a right, for a period of 12 months from
such repayment date, to acquire up to that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that results from dividing the principal amount
of prepaid Note by $0.11 per share, which will be adjusted for any stock splits and recapitalizations.
At any
time while the Senior Notes are outstanding, and at the sole option of a Holder, the Senior Notes may be converted into shares of the
Common Stock, at $0.001 par value per share of the Company, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which
such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified.
9
A Holder
is not entitled to convert any portion of the Senior Note in excess of that portion of the Senior Note upon conversion of which the sum
of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and (2) the number of conversion shares
issuable upon the conversion would result in beneficial ownership by a Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.50% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
The
per share conversion price into which principal and interest outstanding will be convertible into shares of Common Stock hereunder shall
be equal to $0.11 cents per share. The Agreement contains a protection feature (commonly referred to as a “Down Round”);
whereupon any issuance by the Company of Common Stock, or a security that is convertible into Common Stock, at a price lower than a net
receipt to the Company of $0.11 per share, then the conversion price will be adjusted to equal the lower price per share. The Company
has accounted for the Down Round as a contingent beneficial feature and will record a benefit to a Holder, if and, when a conversion
price adjustment occurs.
Note 5 – Shareholders’
Equity
The
Company is authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock $0.001 per share. As September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the
Company had 5,754,500 and 5,000,000 shares issued and outstanding. The shares were issued as follows: 3,500,000 shares to Robert Steele
(Founder and CEO) and 1,500,000 shares to Daniel Lupinelli (Founder). The Founders’ common stock is pledged as collateral on the
Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (See Note 4). The Founders have agreed to take no salaries, consulting fees, loans or payment
of any kind from the Company until after full satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) registration of the shares underlying
the senior secured convertible promissory notes with the United States Securities Commission (“SEC”) on Form S-1; (ii) obtaining
a trading symbol from FINRA or its successor,; (iii) listing of the Company’s shares of common stock for trading on OTCQB or a
national securities exchange such as Nasdaq; (iv) completing an equity raise of at least $3 million at a pre-money valuation for the
Company of at least $10 million; and (v) timely having made all periodic and other filings required of a “reporting” company
with the SEC for a period of not less than 12 months.
The
Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock to its legal counsel in January 2021, at par value per share of $0.001, pursuant to an engagement
letter entered into in December 2020, and sold 724,500 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share (par value $0.001 per share) to accredited
investors within the meaning of the federal securities laws in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Note 6 – Contingencies
On March
11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus a pandemic. First
identified in late 2019 and now known as COVID-19, the outbreak has impacted hundreds of thousands of individuals worldwide. In response,
many countries have implemented measures to combat the outbreak that have impacted global business operations. As of the date of issuance
of the financial statements, the Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted, but the Company continues to monitor
the situation. No impairments were recorded as of the balance sheet date; however, due to significant uncertainty surrounding the situation,
management's judgment regarding this could change in the future. In addition, while the Company’s results of operations, cash flows,
and financial condition could be negatively impacted, the extent of the impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Note 7 – Subsequent
Events
The Company has evaluated
subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued and determined
there are no other events to disclose.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sections of this
Form 10-Q, including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, contain “forward-looking statements”.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance
or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. You should not unduly rely on these statements. Forward-looking statements involve assumptions and describe our plans, strategies,
and expectations. You can generally identify a forward-looking statement by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,”
“would,” “could,” “plans,” “goal,” “potential,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “believe,” “intent,” “project,” and similar words and variations thereof.
Pursuant to Item
305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a
“smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
CAUTIONARY NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report
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 on , 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:
·
risks related to the impact
of the COVID-19 global pandemic, such as the scope and duration of the outbreak, government actions and restrictive measures implemented
in response, material delays and cancellations of projects, supply chain disruptions and other impacts to the business;
·
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.
·
compliance with laws and
regulations, including those relating to environmental matters, corporate governance matters and tax matters, as well as any future
changes to such laws and regulations.
11
Except as required

INTRODUCTION
Thumzup
Media Corporation (“Thumzup” or “Company”) was incorporated October 27, 2020, under the laws of the State of
Nevada, and its headquarters are located in Carson City, Nevada. The Company is a pre-revenue software company dedicated to building
an influencer community around its mobile app (“App”). Once fully developed, the App will generate scalable word-of-mouth
product posts and recommendations for advertiser on social media and is designed to connect advertisers with individuals who are willing
to promote their products online.
The Thumzup
App will enable 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 accounts. For the advertiser, the Thumzup
system enables brands to get real people to promote their products to their friends, rather than displaying banner ads that people are
tuning out.
The Company
is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such, have
elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
OVERVIEW
We were formed in
October 2020 and have not yet established profitable operations or generated revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2021,
we incurred $295,994 in net losses due to $268,118 in software research and development expenses, $1,882 in marketing expenses, $19,448
in general and administrative expenses, $5,829 in interest expense and $720 in depreciation expense.
For the nine months
September 30, 2021, we incurred $529,758 in net losses due to $474,445 in software research and development expenses, $4,003 in marketing
expenses, $37,071 in general and administrative expenses, $13,043 in interest expense and $1,196 in depreciation expense.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated
subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued and determined
there are no other events to disclose.
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
is a pre-revenue, software and services company that relies on short-term debt and equity funding for its operations. At September 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance (net of restricted cash) of $243,914 and $101,317, and the Company used $573,356
to fund operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company
may need to raise additional funding and manage expenses in order to continue as a going concern.
