Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business
plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking
statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,”
“expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,”
“may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,”
and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties
which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual
effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and
future prospects on a consolidated basis include but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes,
availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should
also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Change
in Control . Effective March 14, 2024, Geoffrey Selzer, our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Jim Morrison, our
current President and Director, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Control Agreement”), pursuant to which
Mr. Selzer sold all 2,000,000 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock to Mr. Morrison for $10.00 in cash.
Mr. Morrison now possesses voting control of the Company. See Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
and Related Stockholder Matters .
EMGE
Acquisition Transaction . On February 26, 2024, we entered into entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, as amended (the “Exchange
Agreement”), with Emergent Health Corp., a publicly-traded (symbol: EMGE) Wyoming corporation (“EMGE”), and the holders
(the “EMGE Preferred Shareholders”) of Series Class A Preferred Stock and the Series C Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock
(collectively, the “EMGE Equity Interests”).
On
March 14, 2024, the parties closed the Exchange Agreement. At the closing of the Exchange Agreement: (a) the EMGE Preferred Shareholders
exchanged all of their respective EMGE Equity Interests for an equal number of shares of the Company’s to-be-designated Series
F Convertible Preferred Stock that shall convert into 93% of the common stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (the “Series
F Preferred Stock”), which shares of Series F Preferred Stock are currently issuable to the EMGE Preferred Shareholders and are
to be issued upon the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Designation with the State of Nevada; (b) the Company consummated the
Conveyance Agreement; and (c) all persons serving as directors and officers of the Company prior to the consummation of the Exchange
Agreement resigned and appointed four new members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Conveyance
Agreement . On March 14, 2024, in conjunction with our acquisition of EMGE, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer
and Assignment of Subsidiary (the “Conveyance Agreement”) with two of our then-wholly-owned subsidiaries, Resonate Blends,
LLC, a California limited liability company, and Entourage Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company (collectively, Resonate
Blends, LLC and Entourage Labs, LLC are referred to as the “Subsidiary”), and our former Chief Executive Officer and Director,
Geoffrey Selzer. Pursuant to the Conveyance Agreement, we assigned our ownership in the Subsidiary to Mr. Selzer. In consideration of
our assignment of the Subsidiary, Mr. Selzer (a) assumed and agreed to pay, perform and discharge, fully and completely, all liabilities
of the Subsidiary, (b) indemnified us for any loss arising from or in connection with any of such liabilities and (c) agreed to pay us
(i) 20% of any proceeds from the sale of the Subsidiary that occurs prior to the one-year anniversary of the Conveyance Agreement and

New

References to “the Company,” “our company,” “ours,” “us,” “we” and similar
words are to Resonate Blends, Inc., EMGE and the subsidiaries of EMGE. The information below includes historical information about EMGE.
Overview
Our
company engages in the discovery, development and marketing of products designed to better mankind. We believe we are positioning our
company as a leader in the field of Regenerative Medicine defined by the National Institute of Health using nutritionally designed products.
Intended products are to be marketed under third-party label exemptions. We are focusing our current efforts on marketing licensed patent-pending
natural stem cell mobilizing agents capable of enhancing each individual’s ability to mobilize their own adult stem cells from
their bone marrow. Also, we are licensed under a patent-pending application to market a dual acting all natural diet aid designed to
help control hunger through normal body signals to the brain and stomach. Products are being developed for consumer and professional
markets. Research and development activities center on exploring other areas, such as Secretogues that can naturally enhance a person’s
own growth hormone production and similar all natural bioactive formulations to enhance human performance safely, ethically, legally
and utilizing known body mechanisms without the use of drugs.
Additional
information about our new business plan and historical operations of EMGE is included in our Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 16, 2024 , which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item
1A. Risk Factors
The
report of our independent auditors indicates uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our
ability to raise capital to fund our business. In its opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023,
our independent auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that this will
not impair our ability to raise capital on attractive terms. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve significant
revenues and therefore remain a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
We
have incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows. We
have incurred losses in prior periods. Any losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.
There
is doubt about our ability to continue as a viable business. We have not earned a profit from our operations during recent financial
periods. There is no assurance that we will ever earn a profit from our operations in future financial periods.
We
may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to implement our full plan of business. Currently, we do not have sufficient financial
resources with which to establish our new business strategies. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sources of financing,
including in this offering, in order to satisfy our working capital needs.
Additional risk factors concerning
our company, including risk factors related to EMGE, its business and financial condition, are included in our Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 16, 2024 , which is incorporated herein by reference.

2. Properties
Currently,
we do not own any real estate. Our principal executive offices are located at One Marine Plaza, Suite 305A, North Bergen, New Jersey
04047. We pay rent of $5,400 per month at this location. We believe that our properties are adequate for our current needs, but growth
potential may require larger facilities due to anticipated addition of personnel. We do not have any policies regarding investments in
real estate, securities or other forms of property.

Market
Information
Our
common stock is quoted under the symbol “KOAN” on the OTCQB. Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no
assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable
to resell his securities in our company.
The
following table lists the high and low closing sale prices for our stock for each quarter for the last two fiscal years as reported on
the OTCQB. Because our stock is traded on the OTCQB, these quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, markdown or
commission and may not represent actual transactions.

The
ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that
state. A number of states require that an issuer’s securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration
before the securities are permitted to trade in that state. Presently, we have no plans to register our securities in any particular
state. Further, our shares may be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to
as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1)
incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
Holders
of Our Common Stock
As
of April 16, 2024, we had 96,179,058 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by approximately 175 shareholders of
record at our transfer agent, with approximately 47 additional shareholders holding our shares in street name.
Dividends
We
currently intend to retain future earnings for the operation of our business. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common
stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
In
the event that a dividend is declared, common stockholders on the record date are entitled to share ratably in any dividends that may
be declared from time to time on the common stock by our board of directors from funds legally available.
There
are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes,
however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1.
We
would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
2.
Our
total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders
who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
Securities
Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
On
March 19, 2019, our Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to
attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility with us, to provide additional incentive
to employees, directors and consultants, and to promote our success. Under the Plan, we are currently able to issue up to an aggregate
total of 10,000,000 incentive or non-qualified options to purchase our common stock, stock awards and other offerings.

Sales of Unregistered Securities
During
the three months ended December 31, 2023, we did not issue any unregistered securities not previously reported.
Subsequent
to December 31, 2023, we have issued unregistered securities not previously reported, as follows:
In
March 2024, we issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (with $28,000 in OID) to an investor, in consideration of loan which netted
our company $252,000 in proceeds. This note bears interest at 12% per annum, with principal and interest payable on September 4, 2024.
Should we be in default, which shall not have been cured, this note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price
that shall equal the volume weighted average trading price (a) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance
of the AJB Note or (b) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever is lower. This note
is secured by all assets of our company. In addition, we issued this investor a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant to purchase
3,428,571 shares of our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share. This warrant may be exercised on a cashless
basis.
Also
in March 2024, we issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (with $30,000 in OID) to an investor, in consideration of a loan which
netter our company $250,000 in proceeds. This note bears interest at 12% per annum, with principal and interest payable on September
29, 2024. This note is convertible at any time and from time to time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price that shall
equal to $.035 per share; provided, however, that, upon an event of default, the per share conversion price shall be the lower of (a)
$.035 or (b) the volume weighted average trading price during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance of this
note or during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever is lower. This note is unsecured.
In addition, we issued this investor pre-funded common stock purchase warrant to purchase 7,200,000 shares of our common stock, with
a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share. This warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis. We also entered into a make-whole agreement
that assures that this investor shall derive not less than $250,000 in net proceeds from its sales of our common stock underlying the
warrant.
These
securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Each investor is an
accredited investor and each represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards
distribution. Such investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in
any general solicitation or advertising. The securities issued to such investors were affixed with an appropriate
restrictive legend.

New
Business Plan .
The
business plan and operations of EMGE now represent the entirety of our company’s business operations. The discussion below concerning
our company’s results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the financial condition of our company
at December 31, 2023, relates only to our company prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement with the EMGE Preferred Shareholders.
None of the information in the discussion below should be considered to be an indication of our company’s operating results for
the year ending December 31, 2024, and beyond .
Current
Status
In
connection with the EMGE transaction, we obtained a loan from a third party and, subsequent to the closing of the EMGE transaction, we
have obtained an additional loan from another third party. We remain, nevertheless, dependent on additional investment capital to
continue our survival. Historically, we have raised money through convertible debt, almost always on unfavorable terms. There is no guarantee
that any capital, including through convertible loan transactions, will be available to us in the future or, if available, on terms acceptable
to us . The terms of the recently obtained loans are discussed below.
AJB
Capital Investments, LLC . In March 2024, the Company obtained a loan from AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB”) which
netted the Company $252,000 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, the Company issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (the
“AJB Note”), with OID of $28,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with principal and interest payable on September 4,
2024. The Company has the right to repay the AJB Note at any time. Should the Company be in default, which shall not have been cured,
the AJB Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price that shall equal the volume weighted
average trading price (a) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance of the AJB Note or (b) during the
previous 20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever is lower.
The
AJB Note is secured by all assets of our company.
In
addition, we issued to AJB a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant (the “AJB Warrant”) to purchase 3,428,571 shares of
our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share. The AJB Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis,
Ray
Vollintine . In March 2024, the Company obtained a loan from Ray Vollintine (“Vollintine”) which netted the Company
$250,000 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, the Company issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (the “Vollintine
Note”), with OID of $30,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with principal and interest payable on September 29, 2024. The
Company has the right to repay the Vollintine Note at any time. The Vollintine Note is convertible at any time and from time to time
into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price that shall equal to $.035; provided, however, that, upon an event
of default, the conversion price shall be the lower of (a) $.035 or (b) the volume weighted average trading price during the previous
20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance of the Vollintine Note or during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the
relevant conversion date, whichever is lower.
The
Vollintine Note is unsecured.
In
addition, we issued to Vollintine a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant (the “Vollintine Warrant”) to purchase 7,200,000
shares of our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share. The Vollintine Warrant may be exercised on a cashless
basis, As further consideration for Vollintine’s purchasing the Vollintine Note, we entered into a make-whole agreement that assures
that Vollintine shall derive not less than $250,000 in net proceeds from Vollintine’s sales of the common stock underlying the
Vollintine Warrant.
Results
of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Revenues
We
generated $16,468 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared with revenues of $49,501 for the year ended December
31, 2022, during which year we launched our first line of cordial products in California.
Due
to our acquisition of EMGE and divestiture of the Subsidiary on March 14, 2024, any revenues reported during the first quarter of 2024
will be attributed to the Subsidiary through March 14, 2024; thereafter, any revenues reported by our company would be attributable to
the business operations of EMGE. There are no assurances that we will be successful in the implementation of our EMGE-centered business
plan or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
7
Gross
Profit
We
accrued $114,140 in cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in a gross profit of ($97,762) for the year then
ended. We accrued $33,068 in cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in a gross profit of $16,433 for the year
then ended. Our negative gross margin was due to promotions and the write down of products.
Due
to our acquisition of EMGE and divestiture of the Subsidiary on March 14, 2024, the gross margin reported during the first quarter of
2024 will be attributed to the Subsidiary through March 14, 2024; thereafter, gross margin reported by our company would be attributable
to the business operations of EMGE.
Operating
Expenses
Our
operating expenses were $301,551 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared with $1,405,828 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The
main drivers for the overall decrease in operating expenses in 2023 were the reduction of legal, professional fees and salaries, as well
as a significant decrease in non-cash management fees.
We
spent $354,934 less on advertising for year ended December 31, 2023, than for the year ended December 31, 2022. We spent more on advertising
for the year ended December 31, 2022, to introduce our Koan Cordials to the California retail channel, perform Search Engine Optimization
(SEO), conduct Programmatic advertising, hire a professional agency to promote our Cordials on social media channels and other general
advertising methods.

and professional fees decreased by $91,352 for the year ended December 31, 2023, over the year ended December 31, 2022. It is anticipated
that, for all of 2024, legal and professional fees will be higher than 2023 levels, due to our acquisition of EMGE. However, no prediction
can be made in this regard.
General
and administrative expenses decreased by $46,154 for the year ended December 31, 2023, over the year ended December 31, 2022. It is anticipated
that, for all of 2024, general and administrative expenses will be higher than 2023 levels, due to our acquisition of EMGE. However,
no prediction can be made in this regard.
Officer
compensation decreased by $405,375 for the year ended December 31, 2023, over the year ended December 31, 2022. Our officer compensation
declined as we suspended payments of officer salaries during 2023, but we expect that officer compensation will increase for all of 2024,
following our acquisition of EMGE.
Non-cash
management fees decreased by $206,462 for the year ended December 31, 2023, over the year ended December 31, 2022. Our non-cash management
fees were less in 2023 compared to 2022, as we did not issue shares for services during 2023. It is possible, however, that non-cash
management fees may increase for all of 2024, in light of our acquisition of EMGE. However, no prediction can be made in this regard.
Other
Income / Expense
We
had other expense of $1,016,759 and other income of $2,043,022 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Our
other expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, was mainly attributable to a loss on the change in derivative liability, interest
expense and the amortization of debt issuance costs.
Our
other income for the year ended December 31, 2022, was mainly attributable to the gain on revaluation of derivative liabilities.
We
are unable to predict our other income/expense for all of 2024.
Net
Income / Loss
We
had a net loss of $1,415,979 and net income of $653,627 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
It
is expected that, for all of 2024, we will report a net loss. However, we are unable to make any prediction, in this regard.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
In connection with the EMGE transaction, we obtained
a loan from a third party and, subsequent to the closing of the EMGE transaction, we have obtained an additional loan from another third
party. We remain, nevertheless, dependent on additional investment capital to continue our survival. Historically, we have raised money
through convertible debt, almost always on unfavorable terms. There is no guarantee that any capital, including through convertible loan
transactions, will be available to us in the future or, if available, on terms acceptable to us . The terms of the recently obtained
loans are discussed below.
AJB Capital Investments, LLC . In March
2024, the Company obtained a loan from AJB Capital Investments, LLC (AJB) which netted the Company $252,000 in proceeds. In consideration
of such loan, the Company issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (the AJB Note), with OID of $28,000, bearing interest at 12% per
annum, with principal and interest payable on September 4, 2024. The Company has the right to repay the AJB Note at any time. Should the
Company be in default, which shall not have been cured, the AJB Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at
a conversion price that shall equal the volume weighted average trading price (a) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on
the date of issuance of the AJB Note or (b) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever
is lower.
The AJB Note is secured by all assets of our company.
In addition, we issued to AJB a pre-funded common
stock purchase warrant (the AJB Warrant) to purchase 3,428,571 shares of our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per
share. The AJB Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis,
8
Ray Vollintine . In March 2024, the Company
obtained a loan from Ray Vollintine (Vollintine) which netted the Company $250,000 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, the Company
issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (the Vollintine Note), with OID of $30,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with principal
and interest payable on September 29, 2024. The Company has the right to repay the Vollintine Note at any time. The Vollintine Note is
convertible at any time and from time to time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price that shall equal to
$.035; provided, however, that, upon an event of default, the conversion price shall be the lower of (a) $.035 or (b) the volume weighted
average trading price during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance of the Vollintine Note or during the previous
20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever is lower.
The Vollintine Note is unsecured.
In addition, we issued to Vollintine a pre-funded common stock purchase
warrant (the Vollintine Warrant) to purchase 7,200,000 shares of our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share.
The Vollintine Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis, As further consideration for Vollintine’s purchasing the Vollintine
Note, we entered into a make-whole agreement that assures that Vollintine shall derive not less than $250,000 in net proceeds from Vollintine’s
sales of the common stock underlying the Vollintine Warrant.
As
of December 31, 2023, we had total current assets of $976,938 consisting of $6,938 in cash and $970,000 in an advance to Pegasus Specialty
Vehicles. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2023, were $3,127,913. We had a working capital deficit of $2,150,975 as of
December 31, 2023, compared with a working capital deficit of $1,170,940 as of December 31, 2022.
Cash
Flows Provided by / Used in Operating Activities
Operating
activities provided $11,166 in cash for the year period ended December 31, 2023, compared with cash used of $1,428,467 for the year ended
December 31, 2022. Our positive operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2023, was largely the result of an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses. Our negative operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2022, was largely the result of our unrealized
gain on derivative liability of $2,213,527, offset by our net income of $653,627.
In
light of the EMGE acquisition, we are unable to predict cash flows from operating activities for all of 2024.
Cash
Flows Used in Investing Activities
For
the year ended December 31, 2023, we used $805,000 in investing activities as an advance to Pegasus Specialty Vehicles. We did not use
cash for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In
light of the EMGE acquisition, we are unable to predict cash flows from investing activities for all of 2024.
Cash
Flows Provided by Financing Activities
Cash
flows provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, amounted to $736,353, compared with cash flows
provided by financing activities of $1,479,973 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our positive cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 2023, consisted of net proceeds from convertible debentures of $791,200, proceeds from the sale of warrants of
$30,000, proceeds from the sale of common stock of $10,000 offset by the repayment of related party advances of $94,847. Our
positive cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, consisted of proceeds from issuance of common stock of $91,173 and
proceeds from convertible notes payable of $1,388,800.
In
light of the EMGE acquisition, we are unable to predict cash flows from financing activities for all of 2024.
Going
Concern
As
of December 31, 2023, we have an accumulated deficit of $26,736,403. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the
successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While we are
expanding our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be
available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As
of December 31, 2023, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
In
December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion
and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a
company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often
as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes
to our critical accounting policies as described in the footnotes to our financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022; however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to determining the amount
of revenue to be billed, the timing of revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, capitalization and related amortization of intangible
assets, impairment of assets, and the fair value of liabilities.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
No
new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the fiscal year has had or is expected to have a material impact on the financial
statements.

On

The

Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, December 31, 2023. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
and Accounting Officer.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
and Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based
upon that evaluation, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, we have concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing 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 of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal
control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective
risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements
and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
We
plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses,
we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel
to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures
for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional
financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts
may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption
for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that was enacted
in 2010.

Set

Jim
Morrison – President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Director
Jim
Morrison is considered by many to be one of the leading personal care strategists in the world, as well as one of the top executives.
From August 2022 to March 2024, Mr. Morrison served as CEO and a Director of Emergent Health Corp. (“EMGE”), a publicly-traded
company involved in the health and wellness industry (symbol: EMGE). Mr. Morrison is currently CEO of Integrity Wellness Inc., a dynamic
company in the wellness and regenerative biologics space. He has most recently been CEO of StarShop, which was the first celebrity-driven
video shopping app that was launched in a partnership with Sprint. His track record of leadership and accomplishment in the personal
care products space has been unparalleled. Mr. Morrison was President of L’Oréal for over nine years. He was responsible
for many acquisitions, including both Redken and Matrix, and top-line growth that averaged over 20% during his tenure. Prior to L’Oréal,
Mr. Morrison was President and CEO of Graham Webb, one of the most successful startups in the hair care space. After leaving L’Oréal,
Mr. Morrison was CEO and owner of Sexy Hair Concepts for four years. In 2006, Business Week Magazine wrote, “Over the last two
decades Mr. Morrison has had a profound impact on the American Beauty Industry. In the industry’s history no other executive has
had the level of financial responsibility or breadth of organizational experience as Jim. His devotion to, and success within the industry
is unmatched.”
Sandy
P. Lipkins – Director
Sandy
P. Lipkins served as Director of Business Development of EMGE from August 2023 through March 2024. Mr. Lipkins has over 20 plus years
of venture capital, finance and sales experience. For the last 14 years, he has focused on the anti-aging/wellness sector. He has started
numerous successful enterprises in the regenerative medical space which have required multiple levels of expertise in business development
and strategic planning, as well as capital formation and executive management. Mr. Lipkins is passionate about promoting anti-aging,
healthy lifestyle and bringing cutting edge regenerative medicine to the critical masses domestically and internationally. He has taken
companies from incubation to revenues to setting up for sale or other liquidity events.
Lance
Liberti – Director
Lance
Liberti served as COO of EMGE from August 2023 through March 2024. As CEO and founder of Integrative Practice Solutions, Lance Liberti
brings a lifetime of experience and demonstrated excellence to the executive team. After founding a nationwide healthcare advertising
agency in his collegiate years, Mr. Liberti assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer of Spinal Aid Centers of America. During his
tenure he expanded the national franchise network from 67 to 162 locations and recognition as the #2 medical service franchise in the
world and the 91st fastest growing franchise of the new millennium (as rated by Entrepreneur Magazine in the 2007 Franchise 500 edition).
It was at this time that Mr. Liberti suffered his own run-in with “bone-on-bone” contact osteoarthritis, the result of a
high school football injury and failed prior reconstructive knee surgery. One of his Chiropractic clients introduced him to his father,
a D.O. performing Hyalgan injections that saved his knee and eliminated the need for further surgical intervention. Amazed by the miraculous
results and lack of awareness in the medical community that this treatment option even existed, Mr. Liberti partnered with this physician
to open the first stand-alone Osteoarthritis specialty practice in southern NJ in 2009. In this facility Mr. Liberti co-developed the
now patented Advanced Arthritis Relief Protocol (AARP Program), as well as the patient marketing and administrative business practices
that drive the clinical and financial success of this protocol in the more than 200+ licensed locations in 40+ US states today.

since its formation. Prior to founding Emerging Growth Advisors, Inc., Mr. Zimbler served in a managerial role at other consulting firms,

the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary
authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Audit
Committee
We
do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee,
but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally be performed
by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the
independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results
of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results,
considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be
paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.
We
do not have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe
that we do not require an audit committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes
as needed.
For
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, the board of directors:
1.
Reviewed
and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
2.
Reviewed
and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor’s
independence.
Based
upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board of directors authorized inclusion of the audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the SEC.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered
class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership
of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders
are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely
on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us, no persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the
identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Code
of Ethics
As
of December 31, 2023, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics. We believe that the small number of board and management members do not yet
warrant the adoption of a Code of Ethics.

(the “Conveyance Agreement”) with two of our then-wholly-owned subsidiaries, Resonate Blends, LLC, a California limited liability
company, and Entourage Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company (collectively, Resonate Blends, LLC and Entourage Labs, LLC

16
Other
Transactions
On
May 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Wais Asefi. Pursuant
to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Asefi agreed to separate from all officer positions and as a director of the Company and to further
accept the payment of $200,000 from the Company’s future fundraising as consideration of all debts outstanding under Mr. Asefi’s
employment agreement with the Company. Mr. Asefi further agreed to cancel his 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and to transfer
his 2,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Geoffrey Selzer, the Company’s current CEO and Director. Mr. Asefi further
released the Company of all claims.
On
May 22, 2020, the 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were returned to the Company’s transfer agent and cancelled and
on May 22, 2020 the 2,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were transferred to Mr. Selzer. The parties to the Separation Agreement
agreed to a payment schedule of $200,000 based on future monies raised by the Company - and not on a specific date – as follows:
●
$12,500
when the initial $250,000 is raised by the Company;

when a total of $500,000 is raised by the Company;
●
$10,000
when a total of $750,000 is raised by the Company;

when a total of $4,750,000 is raised by the Company; and
●
$25,000
when a total of $5,750,000 is raised by the Company.
On
May 13, 2021, we amended the Separation Agreement to state the parties desire to reduce the total amount payable to Wais Asefi from $200,000
USD to $142,500 USD. In addition to the earlier payments made to Mr. Asefi, a payment of $40,000 was made on May 14, 2021 and another
payment on June 27, 2021 for $40,000. The final payment was made on August 11, 2021 for $25,000. The final payment on August 11, 2021
settled this agreement in full. Further under the amendment, Mr. Asefi nominated Textmunication, Inc., our prior subsidiary, as the recipient
of the funds due under the Separation Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company made all of its required payments to Mr. Asefi.
The
outstanding balances as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, are $70,099 and $38,500, respectively. The remaining balance as
of December 31, 2022, is due to Mr. Selzer, the former CEO of Resonate, as he has provided several loans to the Company.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors,
Resonate
Blends, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Resonate Blends, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2023,
and December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of years ended December
31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial
Doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring operating losses, has working capital deficit of $2,150,975
and $1,170,940, as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company also had accumulated deficit of
$26,736,403 and $25,320,424 as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Convertible
Note Payable
As
described in Note 4, Convertible Note Payable and Note 5, Derivative Liabilities, to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company had convertible note payable that required accounting considerations and significant estimates.
The
Company determined that variable conversion features issued in connection with certain convertible debentures required derivative liability
classification. These variable conversion features were initially measured at fair value and subsequently have been remeasured to fair
value at each reporting period. The Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivatives using the Binomial option
pricing model. The value of the embedded derivative liabilities related to the convertible note payable was $166,861 as of December 31,
2023.
We
identified the accounting considerations and related valuations, including the related fair value determinations of the embedded derivative
liabilities of such as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination were: (1) the accounting consideration
in determining the nature of the various features (2) the evaluation of the potential derivatives and potential bifurcation in the instruments,
and (3) considerations related to the determination of the fair value of the various debt and equity instruments and the conversion features
that include valuation models and assumptions utilized by management. An audit of these elements is especially challenging and requires
auditor judgement due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized
skill or knowledge needed.
Our
audit procedures related to management’s conclusion on the evaluation and related valuation of embedded derivatives, included the
following, among others: (1) evaluating the relevant terms and conditions of the various financings, (2) assessing the appropriateness
of conclusions reached by the Company with respect to the accounting for the convertible debt, and the assessment and accounting for
potential derivatives and (3) independently recomputing the valuations determined by Management.

BLENDS, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 and 2022
NOTE
1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
The
Company
Resonate
Blends, Inc. formerly Textmunication Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on in October 1984 in the State of Georgia
as Brock Control Systems. Founded by Richard T. Brock, the Company was in the sales automation market and an early developer of enterprise
customer management systems. The Company went public at the end of March of 1993. In February of 1996, the Company changed its name to
Brock International Inc., and in March of 1998, the Company again changed our name to Firstwave Technologies, Inc.
In
2007, the Company deregistered its common stock in order to avoid the expenses of being a public company. The Company reported briefly
on the OTC Disclosure & News Service in 2008 but not for long. The Company again changed its name to FSTWV, Inc.
On
October 28, 2013, the Company held a shareholder meeting to reincorporate the company in the State of Nevada and concurrently change
its name to Textmunication Holdings, Inc. The Company also voted to approve a 1 for 5 reverse split of its outstanding common stock.
On
November 16, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (SEA) with Textmunication, Inc. a California corporation, whereby
the sole shareholder of the Company received 65,640,207 new shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for 100 %
of the Textmunication’s issued and outstanding shares.
On
October 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Resonate Purchase Agreement”) with
Resonate Blends, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Resonate”), and the members of Resonate. As a result of the
transaction, Resonate became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the
closing an aggregate of 5 % of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock for a total of 665,072 shares were
issued to the holders of Resonate in exchange for their membership interests of Resonate. These shares have anti-dilution protection. We
have also agreed as part of the purchase price to issue: (ii) such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that will convert into
5% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company on a fully-diluted basis upon an annualized revenue run rate of Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for any three (3) consecutive month trailing period; and (iii) such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock
that will convert into 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company on a fully-diluted basis upon the occurrence of the
Company’s public market value reaching One Hundred Million US Dollars ($100,000,000). The shares in (ii) and (iii) shall have anti-dilution
protections, except that this provision only applies for 2.5% of the outstanding shares acquired under each subsection.
Also,
on October 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Entourage Labs Purchase Agreement”)
with Entourage Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Entourage Labs”), and the members of Entourage Labs. As
a result of the transaction, Entourage Labs became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, at the closing an aggregate of 5 % of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock for a total of 665,072 shares
were issued to the holders of Entourage Labs in exchange for their membership interests of Entourage Labs. These shares have anti-dilution
protection. We have also agreed as part of the purchase price to issue: (ii) such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that
will convert into 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company on a fully-diluted basis upon an annualized revenue run
rate of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for any three (3) consecutive month trailing period; and (iii) such number of shares of
Series E Preferred Stock that will convert into 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company on a fully-diluted basis
upon the occurrence of the Company’s public market value reaching One Hundred Million US Dollars ($100,000,000). The shares in
(ii) and (iii) shall have anti-dilution protections, except that this provision only applies for 2.5% of the outstanding shares acquired
under each subsection.
In
addition, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (the “Conveyance
Agreement”) with Mark S. Johnson and the Company’s 49 % owned subsidiary, Aspire Consulting Group, LLC, a Virginia limited
liability company. Pursuant to the Conveyance Agreement, the Company transferred all assets and business operations associated with its
IT consulting solutions, including all of the capital stock of Aspire Consulting, to Mr. Johnson. In exchange, Mr. Johnson agreed to
cancel 20,000 shares of common stock in the Company and to assume and cancel all liabilities relating to the Company’s
former business.
Finally,
the Company entered into Employment Agreements with the following persons: (i) Geoffrey Selzer as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the
Company with an annual salary of $ 180,000 ; and (ii) Pamela Kerwin as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Company with an annual salary
of $ 120,000 . Both are eligible for salary increases upon milestone achievements and other benefits. The Employment Agreement for the
CEO has a term of 2 years and can’t be terminated without cause. Severance of six (6) weeks is available for termination of the
COO without cause before one-year of service and eight (8) weeks after one-year of service.
F- 6
On
December 16, 2019 the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada in order to effectuate a merger with its
wholly owned subsidiary; Resonate Blends, Inc. Shareholder approval was not required under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
As part of the merger, the Company’s board of directors authorized a change in our name to “Resonate Blends, Inc.”
and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this name change.
In
connection with the name change, the Company’s symbol was changed to “KOAN” that more resembles the Company’s
new business focus.
On
June 20, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Pegasus Specialty Vehicles, LLC, an Ohio limited liability
company, and Pegasus Specialty Holdings LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (collectively “Pegasus”) and wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. On December 7, 2023, the Company notice received a notice of termination from Pegasus notifying the Company
that the Agreement and Plan of Merger has been terminated.
Basis
of Presentation
Our
financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as reported
on our fiscal years ending on December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2022 classifications to make them comparable to December 31, 2023.
Going
concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the
normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 26,736,403 at December 31, 2023, had a working capital deficit of
$ 2,150,975 and $ 1,170,940 at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, had a net loss of $ 1,415,979 and net income $ 653,627
for years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The company’s ability to continue as a going concern
is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable
operations. While the Company is expanding its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity
will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Consolidation
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The
Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution.
The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. On December 31, 2023 and 2022 no cash balances exceeded the federally
insured limit.
Accounts
receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts
receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer
receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical
collection information and existing economic conditions. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022 there’s no allowance for doubtful
accounts and bad debts.
F- 7
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that the
Company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for
arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
●
Identification
of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
●
Identification
of the performance obligations in the contract
●
Determination
of the transaction price
●
Allocation
of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
●
Recognition
of the revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied
Revenue
is generally recognized upon purchase of products by customers.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values
due to the short maturities of these items.
As
required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in
active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly;
and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions
The
three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level
1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities,
Level
2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that is observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full
term of the asset or liability,
Level
3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported
by little or no market activity).
The
fair value of the accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable are considered short term in nature and therefore their value
is considered fair value.
Financial
assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis.. Management compares the cost
of inventory with the net realizable value and, if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable
value, if lower than cost, inventory is reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory based
upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. Generally, the Company only keeps inventory on hand for sales made and in which
a deposit has been received. At December 31, 2023, the Company determined its’ inventory was not saleable. As such, a charge of
$ 100,883 was charged off to Cost of Revenue in the Statement of Operations.
F- 8
Net
income (loss) per Common Share
Basic
net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except
that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets, which range from three to seven
years . Expenditures for renewals or
betterments are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred the cost and accumulated depreciation of
assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss thereon is reflected in operations. Company
policy capitalizes property and equipment for cost over $ 1,000 ,
asset acquired under $ 1,000 are
charge to operations.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using
the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available
evidence, are not expected to be realized. Because the Company has no net income, the tax benefit of the accumulated net loss has been
fully offset by an equal valuation allowance.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock
Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense
and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
The
Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees
for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other
non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to
the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or
warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense
and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Advertising
Expenses
Advertising
expenses are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $ 23,772 and $ 378,706 in advertising expenses for the years ended December
31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which requires an entity to recognize long-term lease arrangements as
assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded
for all long-term leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases
and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The amendments also require certain new quantitative and qualitative disclosures
regarding leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019. Lessees must apply a modified
retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented
in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE
3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management
has periodically advanced funds to the Company for operating expenses. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, amounts due related
parties were $ 70,099 and $ 164,946 , respectively. These advances are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.
During
the year 2023, a total of $ 28,750 in payments were made to senior management of the Company, which included Geoffrey Selzer, David Thielen
and Pam Kerwin.
On
March 14, 2024, in conjunction with our acquisition of EMGE, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Subsidiary
(the “Conveyance Agreement”) with two of our then-wholly-owned subsidiaries, Resonate Blends, LLC, a California limited liability
company, and Entourage Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company (collectively, Resonate Blends, LLC and Entourage Labs, LLC
are referred to as the “Subsidiary”), and our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, Geoffrey Selzer. Pursuant to the
Conveyance Agreement, we assigned our ownership in the Subsidiary to Mr. Selzer. In consideration of our assignment of the Subsidiary,
Mr. Selzer (a) assumed and agreed to pay, perform and discharge, fully and completely, all liabilities of the Subsidiary, (b) indemnified
us for any loss arising from or in connection with any of such liabilities and (c) agreed to pay us (i) 20% of any proceeds from the
sale of the Subsidiary that occurs prior to the one-year anniversary of the Conveyance Agreement and (ii) 10% of any proceeds from the
sale of the Subsidiary that occurs after the one-year anniversary and prior to the two-year anniversary of the Conveyance Agreement.

At
December 31, 2022, $ 200,000 of the convertible notes was an 8 % Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note from an investor issued
March 5, 2021. The note has an automatic conversion into equity on the maturity date, which was July 3, 2022 , or if a Qualified
Financing (QF) of $ 5,000,000 is achieved, whichever occurs first. The maturity date pricing is $0.10. A QF converts into equity
at the lesser of $1.00 or 75% of the average selling price of the aggregate offering. On July 10, 2023, the note was converted to
3,282,219 shares of common stock.
During
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with five accredited investors, pursuant to

The
Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion features of its convertible debt in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815-15 “Derivatives
and Hedging; Embedded Derivatives” (“Topic No. 815-15”). Topic No. 815-15 requires the Company to bifurcate and separately
account for the conversion features as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible debt. The Company is required
to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and account for’ any unrealized change in fair value as a component
of results of operations. The Company values the embedded derivatives using the Binomial pricing model.
NOTE
5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Certain
of the above convertible notes contained an embedded conversion option with a conversion price that could result in issuing an undeterminable
amount of future common stock to settle the host contract. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated from
the host instrument (convertible note) and treated as a liability, which is calculated at fair value, and marked to market at each reporting
period.
The
Company used the Binomial pricing model at December 31, 2023 and Black-Scholes pricing model at December 31, 2022 to estimate the fair
value of its embedded conversion option and warrant liabilities on both the commitment date and the remeasurement date with the following
inputs:
