new products or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements
of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements

future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks
and uncertainties.

only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the federal
securities laws, we do not intend and undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. We caution readers not to place
undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes will likely vary materially from those indicated.

NOTE
1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Under
Delaware laws, the founders incorporated the Company as Forex Development Corporation on January 21, 2016. On February 27, 2018, the
Company changed its name to FDCTech, Inc. The name change reflects the Company’s commitment to expanding its products and services
in the FX and cryptocurrency markets for OTC brokers. The Company provides innovative and cost-efficient financial technology (‘fintech’)
and business solutions to OTC Online Brokerages and cryptocurrency businesses (“customers”).
The
Company intends to build a diversified global financial services company driven by proprietary Condor trading technologies, complementary
regulatory licenses, and a proven executive team. The Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service
companies. The Company believes its proprietary technology and software development capabilities allow legacy financial services companies
immediate exposure to –forex, stocks, ETFs, commodities, crypto, social/copy trading, and other high-growth fintech markets.
From
December 2021 onwards, the Company expects to grow from its acquisition strategy, specializing in buying and integrating small to mid-size
legacy financial services companies. The Company intends to build a diversified global software-driven financial services company. The
Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service companies. The Company replaces conventional legacy
software infrastructure with its regulatory-grade proprietary Condor trading technologies, intending to improve end-user experience,
increase client retention, and realize cost synergies.
On
December 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AD Financial Services Pty Ltd
ACN 628 331 117 of Level 38/71 Eagle St, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, 4000 (“ADFP” or “Target”). According
to the Agreement, the Company acquired 51 % of ADFP’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock in exchange for 45,000,000
(the “Consideration”) newly issued “restricted” common shares. The operating and licensed entity of ADFP is AD
Advisory Services Pty Ltd. ADFP owns one hundred percent ( 100 %) equity interest in AD Advisory Services Pty Ltd (“ADS”).
As a result, the Company is 51 % owner of ADS. The Company closed the acquisition on December 22, 2021, and combined the financial statements
of ADS in its annual report, 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022.
On
December 31, 2022, the Company announced the sales purchase agreement (“Agreement”) under which the Company acquired a 50.10 %
equity interest in New Star Capital Trading Ltd., a British Virgin Island company (“New Star”) and its operating subsidiary
NSFX Ltd (“NSFX”). NSFX is an online trading brokerage firm regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The
Company will assume a business acquisition loan liability of $ 350,000 to purchase the controlling interest in NSFX. The Company amended
the Agreement to February 28, 2023, to comply with the BVI Companies Act requirement for the change of ownership. The Company expects
to consolidate the fair value of NSFX’s assets and liabilities on or after February 28, 2023, but no later than June 30, 2023.
NSFX
is authorized to deal with its account (market maker) as a Category 3 licensed entity by the MFSA, receive and transmit orders for retail
and professional clients, and hold and control clients’ money and assets. NSFX trading platform services in the English, French,
German, Italian, and Arabic-speaking markets, whereby customers can trade in currency, commodity, equity, and cryptocurrency-linked derivatives
in real time.
On
July 19, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire fifty-one percent ( 51 %) equity interest in CIM Securities,
LLC (“CIM Securities”), a FINRA and SIPC member firm. On September 30, 2022, the Company signed a definitive agreement pending
regulatory approval, paid a $ 20,000 non-refundable deposit, and transferred $ 180,000 to the escrow account to complete the transaction.
The Company filed the CMA form with FINRA in February 2023. Once the Company receives approval from FINRA and pays the balance of $ 180,000 ,
it will start consolidating income statements and balance sheets as it holds the controlling interest in CIM Securities.
Currently,
we have three primary business segments, (1) Wealth Management, (2) Technology and Software Development, and (3) Margin Brokerage Business.
The Company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling interest in the US Brokerage business pending regulatory approval.

NOTE
1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Technology
& Software Development
The
Company has three sources of revenue.
●
Technology
Solutions – The Company licenses its proprietary and sometimes resells third-party technologies to customers. Our proprietary
technology includes but is not limited to Condor Risk Management Back Office (“Condor Risk Management”), Condor Pro Multi-Asset
Trading Platform (previously known as Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal), Condor Pricing Engine, Crypto Web Trader Platform, and other cryptocurrency-related
solutions.
●
Customized
Software Development – The Company develops software for Customers with unique requirements outlined in the Software Development
Agreement (“Agreement”).
●
Consulting
Services – The Company’s turnkey business solutions - Start-Your-Own-Brokerage (“SYOB”), Start-Your-Own-Prime
Brokerage (“SYOPB”), Start-Your-Own-Crypto Exchange (“SYOC”), FX/OTC liquidity solutions, and lead generations.
The
Company has completed the Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform, previously known as the Condor FX Trading Platform. The Condor Pro
Multi-Asset Trading Platform is a regulatory-grade trading platform targeted at day traders and retail investors. The industry characterized
such platforms by their ease of use and helpful features, such as the simplified front-end (user interface/user experience), back-end
(reporting system), news feeds, and charting system. The Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform includes risk management (dealing desk,
alert system, margin calls, etc.), a pricing engine (best bid/ask), and connectivity to multiple liquidity providers or market makers.
We have tailored the Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform to markets such as forex, stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and other
financial products.
The
Company released, marketed, and distributed its Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform in the second quarter of the fiscal year, December
31, 2019. The Company has developed the Condor Back Office API to integrate third-party CRM and banking systems into Condor Back Office.
The
Company has ten (10) licensing agreements for its Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform. The Company continuously negotiates additional
licensing agreements with several retail online brokers to use the Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform. Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading
Platform is available in desktop, web, and mobile versions.
The
Company’s upgraded Condor Back Office (Risk Management) meets various jurisdictions’ regulatory requirements. Condor Back
Office meets the directives under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II/MiFIR), legislation by European Securities
and Market Authority (ESMA) implemented across the European Union on January 3, 2018.
F- 7
The
Company is developing the Condor Investing & Trading App, a simplified trading platform for traders with varied experiences in trading
stocks, ETFs, and other financial markets from their mobile phones. The Company expects to commercialize the Condor Investing & Trading
App by the end of the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
The
Company had developed NFT Marketplace, a decentralized NFT marketplace, a multichain platform with a lazy minting option to reduce and
limit unnecessary blockchain usage fees, also known as gas fees. The Company has no plans to commercialize the NFT Marketplace in the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, as the market for NFT has slowed considerably.

Covid-19
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic throughout the United States.
While the initial outbreak concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and Cyprus, and reported infections
globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have implemented significant governmental measures to control the spread
of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material
limitations on trade. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions.
The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain.
We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus
or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including
our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation
results.
Ukraine-Russia
Conflict
The
geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the
two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional
sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office
in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned
or under Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate
our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. If we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone,
it may impact our software development capabilities and negatively impact the Company’s business plans.
As
of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FDCTech, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. We have eliminated
all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements consistent with the accounting
policies adopted by the Company in its financial statements. The Company has measured and presented its consolidated financial statements
in US Dollars, the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (also known as its functional currency).
Financial
Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates
The
Company prepared consolidated financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain
estimates, judgments, and assumptions. This could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at
the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates
include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website and internal-use software development costs, recoverability
of intangible assets with finite lives, and other long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Actual
results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty
in the current economic environment due to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”).
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with three months
or less of original maturities. On March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 139,844 and $ 264,829 cash and cash equivalent
held at the financial institution.

NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
Receivable primarily represents the amount due from three (3) technology customers. In some cases, the customer receivables are due immediately
on demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms or n/30, where the payment is due in full 30 days after the invoice’s
date. The Company has based the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company
regularly reviews the allowance by considering historical experience, credit quality, the accounts receivable balances’ age, and
economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written
off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.
At
March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Management determined that allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 136,487 and $ 123,987 , respectively.
There was $ 12,500 and $ 0 bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.
Sales,
Marketing, and Advertising
The
Company recognizes sales, marketing, and advertising expenses when incurred.
The
Company incurred $ 30,005 and $ 169,393 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the three months
ended March 31, 2023, and 2022. The sales and marketing costs mainly included travel costs for tradeshows, customer meetings, online
marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations activities. The decrease in expense is mainly due to the reduction
in promotional marketing costs for the three-month ending March 31, 2023.
The
sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 1.94 % and 10.99 % of the sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.
Revenue
Recognition
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The majority of the Company’s revenues
come from two contracts – IT support and maintenance (‘IT Agreement’) and software development (‘Second Amendment’)
that fall within the scope of ASC 606.
The
Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company
accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps:
●
Identify
the contract or contracts and subsequent amendments with the customer.
●
Identify
all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments.
●
Determine
the transaction price for completing performance obligations.
●
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
●
Recognize
the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
F- 12
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company
presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported following
legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the Company also considers implementation guidance on warranties, customer options,
licensing, and other topics. The Company considers revenue collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction
of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options for additional goods or services, nonrefundable upfront fees, licensing, customer
acceptance, and other relevant categories.
The
Company accounts for a contract when the Company and the customer (‘parties’) have approved the contract and are committed
to performing their respective obligations. Each party can identify its rights, obligations, and payment terms; the contract has commercial
substance. The Company will probably collect all of the consideration. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied
by transferring control of the promised service to a customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract
inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days and, in some cases, due upon receipt of the invoice.
The
Company considers the change in scope, price, or both as contract modifications. The parties describe contract modification as a change
order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties approve a modification that either
creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations. The Company assumes a contract modification by oral agreement or
implied by the customer’s customary business practice when agreed in writing. If the parties to the contract have not approved
a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the existing contract’s guidance until the contract modification is approved.
The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms –partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding
price increase, adding new goods or services to the contract, with or without a corresponding price change, and reducing the contract
price without a change in goods/services promised.
At
contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with
a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable
of being distinct and distinct within the context of the agreement. Solutions and services that are not capable of being distinct and
distinct within the contract context are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition
of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative
stand-alone selling price basis. The Company determines the stand-alone selling price for each item at the transaction’s inception
involving these multiple elements.
Since
January 21, 2016 (‘Inception’), the Company has derived its revenues mainly from consulting services, technology solutions,
and customized software development. The Company recognizes revenue when it has satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control
over a product or delivering a service to a customer. We measure revenue based upon the consideration outlined in an arrangement or contract
with a customer.
F- 13
NOTE

The
Company’s typic The Company’s typical performance obligations include the following:
Performance
Obligation
Types
of Deliverables
When
Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied
Consulting
Services
Consulting
related to Start-Your-Own-Brokerage (“SYOB”), Start-Your-Own-Prime Brokerage (“SYOPB”), Start-Your-Own-Crypto
Exchange (“SYOC”), FX/OTC liquidity solutions and lead generations.
The
Company recognizes the consulting revenues when the customer receives services over the contract length. If the customer pays the
Company in advance for these services, the Company records such payment as deferred revenue until the Company completes the services.
Technology
Services
Licensing
of Condor Risk Management Back Office (“Condor Risk Management”), Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal, Condor Pricing Engine,
Crypto Trading Platform (“Crypto Web Trader Platform”), and other cryptocurrency-related solutions.
The
Company recognizes ratably over the contractual period that the services are delivered, beginning on the date such service is made
available to the customer. Licensing agreements are typically one year in length with an option to cancel by giving notice; customers
have the right to terminate their agreements if the Company materially breaches its obligations under the agreement. Licensing agreements
do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software. The Company charges the customers a set-up fee for installing
the platform, and implementation activities are insignificant and not subject to a separate fee.
Software
Development
Design
and build development software projects for customers, where the Company develops the project to meet the design criteria and performance
requirements as specified in the contract.
The
Company recognizes the software development revenues when the Customer obtains control of the deliverables as stated in the Statement-of-Work
contract.
The
Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer to determine the transaction
price. The Company believes that the contract will not be canceled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only
those amounts to which the Company has rights under the present contract. For example,
if the Company enters into a contract with a customer
with an original term of one year and expects the customer to renew for a second year, the Company would determine the transaction price
based on the initial one-year period. When choosing the transaction price, the company first identifies the fixed consideration, including
non-refundable upfront payment amounts.
To
allocate the transaction price, the Company gives an amount that best represents the consideration that the entity expects to receive
for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation
identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis to meet the allocation objective. In determining the standalone
selling price, the Company uses the best evidence of the stand-alone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar
circumstances. In some cases, the Company uses the adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price. It
evaluates the market in which it sells the goods or services and estimates the price that customers in that market would pay for those
goods or services when sold separately.
F- 14
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
Company recognizes revenue when or as it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers”
of the promised goods or services when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company considers a customer “obtains
control” of an asset when it can direct the use of, and obtain all the remaining benefits from, an asset substantially. The Company
recognizes deferred revenue related to services it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred
revenue related to services that the Company will provide more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.
For
the period ending December 31, 2019, the Company’s two primary revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:
The
Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement on July 19, 2017, to sell the code, installation, and future development for
two hundred and fifty thousand ($ 250,000 ) dollars. The first part was the sale of source code and installation. The second part consisted
of the future development of the Platform, which is not essential to the functionality of the Platform, as third parties or customer(s)
themselves can perform these services. By December 31, 2017, the Company received two installments totaling one hundred and sixty thousand
($ 160,000 ) dollars for the source code and successful platform installation. The Company has recognized revenue of $ 160,000 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2017. On December 31, 2019, the Company wrote off a software development revenue equaling $ 18,675 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2017, for accounts receivable over ninety days. However, in August 2018, the Company signed the second amendment
to the asset purchase agreement. The purchaser issued to the Company seventeen thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars ($ 17,750 ) as
a complete and final settlement of all past delivered services. The Company received the funds in September 2018. On September 4, 2018,
the Company signed the Second Amendment Agreement (‘Second Amendment’) to continue the asset purchase agreement. The Company
signed the First Amendment Agreement signed on July 19, 2017, and August 1, 2017, between the Company and the Purchaser. Under the Second
Amendment, the Company received $ 80,000 as the second part was selling source code in four equal installments of $ 20,000 each. The Company
received payments by May 5, 2019.
According
to the Second Amendment, the Company identifies two primary ongoing performance obligations in the contract for the following development
services of the Platform:
a)
Customized developments, and
b)
Software updates.
The
Company receives $75 per hour for the first 100 hours/month of approved development services and $45 per hour for all services over 100
hours per month. The Company invoices the Customer for all development services rendered, and any cash received for the development services
is non-refundable .
On
February 5, 2018 (‘Effective Date’), the Company signed an IT support and maintenance agreement (‘IT Agreement’)
with an FX/OTC broker (‘FX Broker’) regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority. The Company earns the recurring
monthly payment from the FX Broker for delivering IT support and maintenance services (‘Services’) to FX Broker’s legacy
technology infrastructure. The term of this Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated by either party
either for cause, bankruptcy, and other default clauses. The Company completes and satisfies its performance obligation upon accomplishing
all support and maintenance activities every month. The Company invoices the FX Broker at the beginning of the month for services performed,
delivered, and accepted for the prior month. At the time of the invoice, the Company renders all Services, and any cash received for
Services is non-refundable.
According
to the contract’s terms and conditions, the Company invoices the customer at the beginning of the month for the month’s services.
The invoice amount is due upon receipt. The Company recognizes the revenue at the end of each month, equal to the invoice amount.
AD
Advisory Services Pty (ADS), the Company’s wealth management revenue, primarily consists of advisory revenue, commission revenue
from insurance products, fees to prepare the statement of advice, rebalancing portfolio, and other financial planning activities. We
recognize revenue upon the transfer of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange
for those services. If we receive payments in advance of services, we defer and recognize them as revenue when satisfied with our performance
obligation. Advisory revenue includes fees charged to clients in advisory accounts for which we are the licensed investment advisor.
We bill advisory fees weekly.

Company maintains its cash balances at a single financial institution. The account balances are within FDIC limits as of March 31,
2023, and December 31, 2022.
Revenues
Technology
& Software Revenue – The Company generated Technology & Software Revenue of $ 173,250 and $ 67,500 for the three months ended
March 31, 2023, and 2022. For the three-month ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had thirteen (13) and four (4) active customers, which is the main reason for the increase in revenue.
Revenues generated from the top three (3) customers represented approximately 95.42 % and 61.20 % of Technology and Software revenue for
the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.
Wealth
Management Revenue – the Company’s subsidiary ADS generated $ 1,372,437 in revenue from 28 advisors for the three-month ending
March 31, 2023.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
Receivable primarily represents the amount due from three (3) active technology customers. In some cases, the customer receivables are
due immediately on demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms or n/30, where the payment is due in full 30 days
after the invoice’s date. The Company has based the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of
customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering historical experience, credit quality, the accounts receivable
balances’ age, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates.
Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.
At
March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Management determined that allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 136,487 and $ 123,987 , respectively.
There was $ 12,500 and $ 0 bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.
Research
and Development (R and D) Cost
The
Company acknowledges that future benefits from research and development (R and D) are uncertain, so we cannot capitalize
on R and D expenditure. The GAAP accounting standards require us to expense all research and development expenditures as incurred. For
the Three Months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred R and D costs of $ 0 and $ 0 . The R and D costs in the previous period
were due to evaluating the technological feasibility costs of the Condor Investing and Trading App.
Legal
Proceedings
The
Company discloses a loss contingency if at least there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company
records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably
estimated. The Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss with no best estimate; the Company records the minimum estimated liability.
As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to pending legal proceedings, revises
its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded
as expenses incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.

NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment under FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Under the standard, long-lived assets
are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
An impairment charge is recognized when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value. There are no impairment
charges on March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
Provision
for Income Taxes
The
provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. This method calculates deferred tax assets and
liabilities based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of
assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates applicable each year.
The
Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first
step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than
not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is
to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, more than 50%, likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company
considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and benefits, requiring periodic adjustments, which may not accurately
forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in
the operations’ consolidated statements. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
to change significantly in the next twelve (12) months.
Software
Development Costs
By
ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after
establishing technological feasibility, if significant. The Company amortizes the capitalized software development costs using the straight-line
amortization method over the application software’s estimated useful life. By the end of February 2016, the Company completed the
technical feasibility of the Condor FX Back Office, Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform Version, and Condor Pricing Engine. The Company
established the technical feasibility of the Crypto Web Trader Platform in February 2018. The Company completed the technical feasibility
of the Condor Investing and Trading App in January 2021.
The
Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three ( 3 ) years.
Amortization
expense was $ 19,032 and $ 60,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively, and the Company classifies such cost
as the Cost of Sales.
The
Company is developing the Condor Investing and Trading App and NFT Marketplace. The Company is currently capitalizing the costs associated
with the development. The Company spent $ 15,600 in R and D costs in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 to evaluate the technical feasibility of the
Condor Investing and Trading App.
The
Company capitalizes significant costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software.

NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Convertible
Debentures
The
cash conversion guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, is considered when evaluating the accounting for convertible
debt instruments (this includes certain convertible preferred stock that is classified as a liability) to determine whether the conversion
feature should be recognized as a separate component of equity. The cash conversion guidance applies to all convertible debt instruments
that, upon conversion, may be settled entirely or partially in cash or other assets where the conversion option is not bifurcated and
separately accounted for pursuant to ASC 815.
If
the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide a conversion rate below market value, this feature is characterized
as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company records BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, Debt
with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The
Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
As
of December 31, 2020, the conversion features of conventional FRH Group convertible notes dated February 22, 2016, May 16, 2016, November
17, 2016, and April 24, 2017 (See Note 8) provide for a rate of conversion where the conversion price is below the market value. As a
result, the conversion feature on all FRH Group convertible notes has a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) to the extent
of the price difference.
As
the Company and FRH Group extended the maturity date of the four (4) tranches of convertible notes to June 30, 2021, Management analyzed
the fair value of the BCF on these tranches. The Company noted that the value of the BCF for each note was insignificant; thus, it did
not record debt discounts as of December 31, 2020.
For
FRH Group convertible note dated April 24, 2017, the stock’s value at the issuance date was above the floor conversion price; this
feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company records a BCF as a debt discount pursuant
to ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” As a result, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount
related to the BCF. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has amortized the discount of $ 97,996 to interest expense at the issuance date
because the debt is convertible at issuance.
The
$ 97,996 amount is equal to the intrinsic value, and the Company allocated it to additional paid-in capital in 2017.
Foreign
Currency Translation and Re-measurement
The
Company translates its foreign operations to US dollars following ASC 830, “ Foreign Currency Matters .”
We
have translated the local currency of ADS, the Australian Dollar (“AUD”), and the Euro (“EUR”) as some of
our clients pay in EUR; we have cash balances in EUR into US$1.00 at the following exchange rates for the respective
dates.

F- 18
Fair
Value
The
Company uses current market values to recognize certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. The fair value is the estimated price
at which the Company can sell the asset or settle a liability in an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions.
The Company uses the following methods and valuation techniques for deriving fair values:
Market
Approach – The market approach uses the prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities
to derive a fair value.
Income
Approach – The income approach uses estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate representing the time
value of money and the risk of cash flows not being achieved to derive a discounted present value.
Cost
Approach – The cost approach uses the estimated cost to replace an asset adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.
The
Company ranks the fair value hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (best) to Level 3 (worst). The Company uses these three levels
to select inputs for valuation techniques:
Level
I
Level
2
Level
3
Level
1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. Level 1 is the most reliable evidence of fair
value and is used whenever this information is available.
Level
2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for
a business unit based on comparable companies’ sales, EBITDA, or net income.
Level
3 is an unobservable input. It may include the company’s data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples
of a Level 3 input are an internally-generated financial forecast.
Basic
and Diluted Income (Loss) per Share
The
Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations
are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share
equivalents outstanding. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had 333,584,729 and 211,275,550 basic and dilutive
shares issued and outstanding. The Company converted the four FRH Group convertible notes into 12,569,080 dilutive shares. During the
three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive due to a net loss of $ 237,175 and $ 389,196 ,
respectively, for the period. Hence, the Company has not considered it in the computation.
Reclassifications
We
have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of these classifications impacted
reported operating loss or net loss for any period presented.
F- 19
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition
requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue
recognition process; an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers 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. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced
disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from customers’ contracts. In August
2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the
effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts
not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606,
while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 2 Revenue from Major Contracts with Customers for further
discussion on the Company’s accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing
lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments to
this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments to this standard is
permitted for all entities. The Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified
retrospective approach. The Company adopted this policy as of January 1, 2020, and there is no material effect on its financial reporting.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements
for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes
in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value
measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The amendments removed and modified certain disclosure requirements
in Topic 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Certain amendments are to be applied prospectively, while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The
Company adopted the ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020. The Company used the Level 1 Fair Market Measurement to record, at cost, ADS’
intangible assets valued at $ 2,550,003 . We evaluate acquired intangible assets for impairment at least annually to confirm if the carrying
amount of acquired intangible assets exceeds their fair value. The acquired intangible assets primarily consist of assets under management,
wealth management license, and our technology. We use various qualitative or quantitative methods for these impairment tests to estimate
the fair value of our acquired intangible assets. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, we would recognize an impairment
charge for the difference. The Company did not record impairment for March 31, 2022, and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
ASU
2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in
Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”,
issued in August 2020 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to
present certain conversion features in equity separately. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied to classify a contract
as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities.
Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring the use of the if-converted method for all convertible
instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled
in cash or other assets. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early
adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning
of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect this ASU 2020-06 to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated
financial statements.
F- 20
NOTE
3. MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The
Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary business course. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the
accumulated deficit was $ 4,572,228
and $ 4,335,053 ,
respectively. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the working capital deficit was $ 201,099 and $ 550,098 ,
respectively. The working capital deficit decreased mainly due to the lower cash balances compared to the previous period, decreasing
current assets.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 237,175 and $ 389,196 .
Since
its inception, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2023, and
December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 139,844 and $ 264,829 cash. The Management believes that future cash flows may not be sufficient
for the Company to meet its debt obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for twelve (12) months following
March 31, 2023. Even though the Company’s revenues have increased considerably following the acquisition of ADS, we continue
to experience a low gross and net margin from current operations. As a result, the Company continues to experience negative cash
flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its financial
technologies. The Management expects that it will need to raise significant additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over
the next twelve (12) months. The Management expects to seek to obtain additional funding through private equity or public markets.
However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms of such type of financing and capital might be available. The
Company expects to integrate operations of NSFX in the second half of fiscal 2023. This will allow the Company to increase its
revenue and cash flow.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may depend on the Management’s plans discussed below. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
To
the extent the Company’s operations are insufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Management may attempt
to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or
issuance of debt.
The
Management intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions, become cash
flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. See Note 8 for Notes Payable. As the Company increases
its customer base globally, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal
2023.
On
January 27, 2022, the Company signed a promissory note (‘AJB Note’) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (‘AJB Capital’),
a Delaware limited liability company, for the principal amount of $ 550,000 with a maturity date of July 27, 2022 , and a coupon of 10 %.
As part of the AJB Note, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, where AJB Capital will receive equity equal to US
$ 155,000 of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued 2,214,286 common stock priced at $ .07 per share upon issuance of the
Note (the “Shares”), and 1,000,000 3 -year cash warrants (‘Warrants’) priced at $ 0.30 . The Warrants and the Shares,
collectively known as the ‘Incentive Fee,’ are issued upon execution of the agreement. The Company paid off the outstanding
loan in February 2023.
NOTE
4. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS
During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the estimated remaining weighted-average useful life of the Company’s capitalized
software was three ( 3 ) years. The Company recognizes amortization expenses for capitalized software on a straight-line basis.
At
March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the gross capitalized software assets were $ 1,650,397 and $ 1,586,989 , respectively. At the end
of March 31, 2023, and 2022, the accumulated software amortization expenses were $ 844,378 and $ 825,347 , respectively. As a result, the
unamortized balance of capitalized software on March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, was $ 811,518 and $ 761,642 .

Cares
Act – Paycheck Protection Program (PPP Note)
On
May 01, 2020, the Company received proceeds of Fifty-Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Two ($ 50,632 ) from the Promissory Note (“PPP
Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).
The funding of the PPP Note is conditioned upon approval of the Company’s application by the Small Business Administration (SBA)
and Bank of America (“Bank”), receiving confirmation from the SBA that the Bank may proceed with the PPP Note. Suppose the
SBA does not confirm the PPP Note’s forgiveness, or only partly confirms forgiveness of the PPP Note, or the Company fails to apply
for PPP Note forgiveness. In that case, the Company will be obligated to repay the Bank the total outstanding balance remaining due
under the PPP Note, including principal and interest (the “PPP Note Balance”). In such case, Bank will establish the terms
for repayment of the PPP Note Balance in a separate letter to be provided to the Company, which letter will set forth the PPP Note Balance,
the amount of each monthly payment, the interest rate (not above a fixed rate of one percent ( 1.00 %) per annum), the term of the PPP
Note, and the maturity date of two (2) years from the funding date of the PPP Note. No principal or interest payments will be due before
the Deferment Period, which is ten months from the end of the covered period. The PPP Note was not forgiven. The Company started paying off the PPP Note in August 2022. The PPP loan outstanding balance, including
accrued interest at 1.00 %, is approximately $ 37,141 as of March 31, 2023.

Loan

years from the promissory Note date. Interest will accrue at 3.75 %
per annum and only on $ 144,900
funds advanced from May 22, 2020, the advance date. The SBA loan outstanding balance, including accrued interest, is $ 145,102 as

Economic

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
Quarterly Report Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth as a
result of general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion
and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited condensed financial statements
and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided
pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future
events.
The
Company is building a diversified global financial services company driven by proprietary Condor trading technologies, complementary
regulatory licenses, and a proven executive team. The Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service
companies. The Company believes its proprietary technology and software development capabilities allow legacy financial services companies
immediate exposure to –forex, stocks, ETFs, commodities, crypto, social/copy trading, and other high-growth fintech markets.
From
December 2021 onwards, the Company expects to grow from its acquisition strategy, specializing in buying and integrating small to mid-size
legacy financial services companies. The Company intends to build a diversified global software-driven financial services company. The
Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service companies. The Company replaces conventional legacy
software infrastructure with its regulatory-grade proprietary Condor trading technologies, intending to improve end-user experience,
increase client retention, and realize cost synergies.
Currently,
we have three primary business segments, (1) Wealth Management, (2) Technology and Software Development, and (3) Margin Brokerage Business.
The Company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling interest in the US Brokerage business pending regulatory approval.
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic that continues throughout
the United States. While the outbreak was initially concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and
Cyprus, and reported infections globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have implemented significant governmental
measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement
of people, and other material limitations on our business. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s
labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments.
These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak
and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could
adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital,
which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.
The
geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the
two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional
sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office
in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned
or under Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate
our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. If we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone,
it may impact our software development capabilities and negatively impact the Company’s business plans.
As
of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.

Financial
Condition at March 31, 2023
On
March 31, 2023, the accumulated deficit, cash balance, and working capital deficit were
$4,572,228, $139,844, and $201,099, respectively.

On
March 28, 2023, the Company issued 2,000,000 restricted common shares for cash valued at $20,000.
The
Company intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions, become cash
flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. As the Company increases its customer base globally, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2023.
Financial
Condition at December 31, 2022
On
December 31, 2022, the accumulated deficit, cash balance, and working capital deficit were $4,335,053, $264,829, and 550,098, respectively.
On
January 27, 2022, the Company signed a promissory note (‘AJB Note’) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (‘AJB Capital’),
a Delaware limited liability company, for the principal amount of $550,000 with a maturity date of July 27, 2022, and a coupon of 10%.
The parties extended the AJB Note maturity date by another six months till January 23, 2023. As part of the AJB Note, the Company entered

On
September 30, 2022, the Company issued 30,000,000 restricted common shares for cash valued at $300,000.
We
do not believe that our cash balance is sufficient to fund our operations and growth; as a result, the Company plans to raise additional
capital as disclosed in Subsequent Events. The Company intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio
of technological solutions, become cash flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. As the
Company increases its customer base globally, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond

During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred general and administrative costs (“g and a”) of $494,689
and $389,054 (excluding amortization expenses), respectively. The increase in g and a costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023,
is due to the rise in legal and professional fees, financing costs, and ADS’ g and a. The g and a expenses were 32.00% and 25.24%
of the revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Amortization expense was $19,032 and $60,494 for the
three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively, included in the Cost of sales. The amortization expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2023, are due to the cumulative amortization expense of Condor Web Trader and Condor Mobile Trader. The amortization
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to the cumulative amortization expense of Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform
(Desktop), Condor Web Trader, and Condor Mobile Trader.
The
rental expense was $6,195 and $7,421 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Effective October 29, 2019, the
Company rents its servers, computers, and data center from an unrelated third party. Under the rent Agreement, the lessor provides furniture
and fixtures and any leasehold improvements at 200 Spectrum Drive, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92618, as discussed in Note 2. Effective February
2019, the Company leases office space at Suite 205, Building 9, Potamos Germasogeia, 4047, Limassol District, Cyprus, from an unrelated
party for a year. The Company uses the office for sales and marketing in Europe and Asia. The office’s monthly rent payment is
$1,750; we have included in the General and administrative expenses. From February 2020, the Company extended the one-year agreement
to $1,750 monthly. Effective April 2019, the Company leases office space at Suite 512, 83 Plan, Chelyabinsk, Russia, from an unrelated
party for an eleven-month term. The office’s rent payment is $500 monthly, including the General and administrative expenses. From

by giving thirty days’ notice. The Company uses the office for software development and technical support. Effective August 2022,
the Company closed its offices in Russia and relocated its team to Turkey.
The
Company incurred $30,005 and $169,393 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the three months
ended March 31, 2023, and 2022. The sales and marketing costs mainly included travel costs for tradeshows, customer meetings, online
marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented
1.94% and 10.99% of the sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On
March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had a cash balance of $139,844 and $264,829, respectively.
In
the next twelve (12) months, the Company will continue investing in sales, marketing, product development, new technology solutions,
and existing technology support to serve our customers. We expect capital expenditures to increase to $500,000 in the next twelve (12)
months to support the growth, including working capital, software development, sales & marketing, and purchasing computers and servers.
We
expect the combination of existing cash, cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and access to private equity and capital markets
to be sufficient for at least twelve (12) months. The availability of funds will fund our operating activities to meet the need for investing
and financing, such as debt maturities and material capital expenditures. However, we may need additional funds to achieve a sustainable
sales level to fund our ongoing operations out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or,
if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
Should
we require additional capital, the Company’s operations are insufficient to fund its capital requirements. The Company may attempt
to restructure Notes, refinance existing Notes with financial institutions, or raise capital by selling additional capital stock or debt
issuance. The Company intends to continue growing its operations and raising funds through private equity and debt financing.

GOING
CONCERN CONSIDERATION
We
have yet to generate significant revenues and operating income from inception to March 31, 2023, to cover our operating costs. As of
March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company accumulated deficits of $4,572,228 and $4,335,053, respectively. Our independent
auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2022, and 2021, and the period from January 21, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, regarding concerns about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to
this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability
or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result in the company being
unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We
have based our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements,
which we have prepared following the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material and uncertain in the current economic environment
due to COVID-19.
In
more detail, we have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments
required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.
JOBS
Act Accounting Election
We
are an “ emerging growth company ,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can
delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued after the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private
companies. As an emerging growth company, we have applied for an exemption; as a result, the Company may delay the adoption of
certain accounting standards until the standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We
have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B. We did not have any
relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that
would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption
of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued.
We have adopted this ASU as of March 31, 2020 for ASC 606, Revenue Recognition and Amended ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840). The ASU is
currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. While we have described significant accounting
policies in more details in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,
filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020, we believe the accounting policies as described in Note 2 to be critical to the judgments and estimates
used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (together,
the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed or submitted 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 in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s
Report on Internal Controls 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 Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management
used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in
accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of our company,
(2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in
accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management
and directors, and
(3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets
that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated
financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in 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.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting o March 31, 2023. Based on our assessments, management
determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, due to the material weakness
in our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written
policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping.
Management
intends to implement remediation steps to improve our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes
due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping.
We plan to further improve this process by enhancing the size and composition of our board upon the closing of the business identifying
third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications, and consideration of additional staff with
the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals and implemented additional layers of reviews in
the internal controls and financial reporting process.
This
Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth
company under the JOBS Act.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph
(d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months Ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
