NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (Unaudited) Note 1. Organization, Description of Business and Liquidity Organization Asset Entities Inc. (“Asset Entities”, “we”, “us” or the “Company”), began operations as a general partnership in August 2020 and formed Assets Entities Limited Liability Company in the state of California on October 20, 2020. The interim financial statements reflect the operations of the Company from inception of the general partnership. The operations of the Company from inception to prior year-end is reflected in retained earnings. On March 15, 2022, the Company filed Articles of Merger to register and incorporate with the state of Nevada and changed the company name to Asset Entities Inc. Reverse Stock Split On June 27, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada authorizing a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share, and Class B Common Stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share. The reverse stock split became effective on July 1, 2024. Prior to the reverse stock split, the Company was authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 190,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company will be authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 38,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. All share and per share information in these financial statements retroactively reflect this reverse stock split. Description of Business Asset Entities is an Internet company providing social media marketing, content delivery, and development and design services across Discord, TikTok, and other social media platforms.

Liquidity The Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 9,994,891 as of September 30, 2024, cash of $ 2,098,406 as of September 30, 2024, and a net loss of $ 4,436,576 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. On May 24, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor for the issuance and sale of up to 330 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for maximum gross proceeds of $ 3,000,000 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 330 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and received proceeds of $ 2,647,500 , net of discount. Based on the Company’s existing cash resources, management believes that the Company will have sufficient funds to carry out the Company’s planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the accompanying interim financial statements. 7 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 2, 2024. Use of Estimates The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $ 250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of September 30, 2024, was approximately $ 1.7 million. The Company has not experienced losses on account balances and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Property and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their costs less impairment and residual value, if any, over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Category Useful life (years) Building 39 Machinery and Equipment 5 - 10 Office Equipment and Fixtures 5 Vehicle 8 The Company did not have any Building, Machinery and Equipment, and Vehicle as of September 30, 2024. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in the income. The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC No. 360”), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. 8 Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired are recorded at fair value. We test our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We test our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. Management uses considerable judgment to determine key assumptions, including projected revenue, royalty rates and appropriate discount rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no intangible asset impairment charges. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which ranges from 5 to 15 years . Our finite-lived intangible assets include acquired franchise agreements, acquired customer relationships, acquired customer lists, and internally developed software. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets include acquired domain names, trade names, and purchased software. Intangible assets internally developed are measured at cost. We capitalize costs to develop or purchase computer software for internal use which are incurred during the application development stage. These costs include fees paid to third parties for development services and payroll costs for employees’ time spent developing the software. We expense costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stage. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life. Impairment of Long-lived Assets Other Than Goodwill Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows: ● Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; ● Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and ● Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expense and contract liabilities, other current liabilities are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. 9 Advertising Expenses The Company expenses advertising costs as they incurred. Total advertising expenses were $ 453,976 and $ 324,570 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and have been included as part of general and administrative expenses. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $ 336,719 and $ 0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and have been included as part of contract labor. Stock based compensation Service-Based Awards The Company records stock-based compensation for awards granted to employees, non-employees, and to members of the Board for their services on the Board based on the grant date fair value of awards issued, and the expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally one to three years. For restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant is calculated based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant. Share Repurchase Share repurchases are open market purchases. Share repurchases are generally recorded on the settlement date, as treasury stock. When shares are cancelled, the value of repurchased shares is deducted from stockholders’ equity through common stock with the excess over par value recorded to accumulated deficit. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Subscriptions Subscription revenue is related to a single performance obligation that is recognized over time when earned. Subscriptions are paid in advance and can be purchased on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Any quarterly or annual subscription revenue is recognized as a contract liability recorded over the contracted service period. Marketing Revenue related to marketing campaign contracts with customers are normally of a short duration, typically less than two (2) weeks. AE.360.DDM Contracts Revenue related to AE.360.DDM contracts with customers are normally of a short duration, typically less than one (1) week. 10 Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities consist of quarterly and annual subscription revenue that have not been recognized. Revenue under these agreements is recognized over the related service period. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total contract liabilities were $ 610 and $ 3,445 respectively. Contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue over a period not to exceed twelve (12) months. Changes in contract liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are as follows: September 30, 2024 Balance, December 31, 2023 $ 3,445 Deferral of revenue - Recognition of revenue ( 2,835 ) Balance, September 30, 2024 $ 610 Earnings Per Share of Common Stock The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying interim financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive. The Company would account for the potential dilution from convertible securities using the as-if converted method. The Company accounts for warrants and options using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, warrants representing 105,490 shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation from diluted net loss per share as the result was anti-dilutive. Related Parties The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” , for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions and balances. There were no related party transactions except management fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid management fees to their controlling members totaling $ 2,513,562 and $ 2,275,878 , respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its interim financial statements. Note 3. Property and Equipment Property and equipment consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, 2024 2023 Office equipment $ 28,320 $ 13,559 Accumulated depreciation ( 4,348 ) ( 734 ) $ 23,972 $ 12,825 During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded depreciation of $ 3,614 and $ 223 , respectively. 11 Note 4. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of the following: September 30, December 31, 2024 2023 Purchased software $ 309,500 $ 100,000 Less: Impairment - - $ 309,500 $ 100,000 This intangible asset is an indefinite life asset and not subject to amortization. It is subject to impairment testing. There is no impairment of the intangible asset as of the interim financial statement date. Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity Authorized Capital Stock On March 9, 2022, the Company filed Articles of Incorporation with the state of Nevada to authorize the Company to issue 250,000,000 shares, consisting of 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share (“Class A Common”), 190,000,000 shares of Class B Common stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share (“Class B Common”), and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $ 0.0001 par value (the “Preferred Stock”). On June 27, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada authorizing a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of class A common stock and class B common stock. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will be authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 38,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. Preferred Stock The Company shall have the authority to issue the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series with such rights, preferences and designations as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock On May 24, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada designating 660 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share, as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,” and setting forth the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an initial stated value (“Stated Value”) of $ 10,000 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, ranks senior to all capital stock of the Company unless the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock consent to the creation of other capital stock of the Company that is senior or equal in rank to the Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends, in shares of Class B Common Stock or cash on the Stated Value at an annual rate of 6 % (which will increase to 12 % if a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) occurs.
