PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

12 ReTech Corporation is primarily a technology company focused on the retail experience, both online and in physical stores, for consumers and smaller merchants.

Our software, both deployed and in development, is designed to allow the smaller merchants to compete effectively with the retail behemoths like Walmart and Amazon, and to attract, retain, and delight consumers both online and in physical stores, without being dependent on Google, Facebook/Instagram, and Amazon.

Our AI Social Shopping platform App, which is currently in development, will allow merchants to connect with consumers directly, and will give merchants tools to protect their brand and lower their marketing costs which will be focused on results not just “looky-loos”.

For consumers, the App allows them to support their favourite local businesses and find new merchants that may be of interest to them, while earning money through their social communications and posts.

The Company has also acquired retail and wholesale operating companies that will allow us to test our tech on real consumers and demonstrate their success for other merchants while earning revenues for the Company.

As an innovative retail technology company that has been built through acquisitions and ideas, we will continue to search for additional synergistic acquisitions that bring incremental revenues and profitability, and access to products that will incentivize both merchants and consumers to quickly adopt our social shopping App.

The Opportunity:

The Company’s technology solutions are designed to benefit from the latest changes in the world-wide Retail market. Global retail sales were projected to be around 26.7 trillion U.S. dollars by 2022, up from approximately 23.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2018. The retail industry encompasses the entire journey of a good or service. This typically starts with the manufacturing of a product, and ends with said product being purchased by a consumer from a retailer. Retail establishments come in many forms such as grocery stores, restaurants, and bookstores.

As a result of globalization and trade agreements between various markets and countries, many retailers are capable of doing business on a global scale. Many of the world’s leading retailers are American companies; Walmart, Amazon, The Kroger Co., Costco, and Target are examples of such American retailers with global reaches, with Walmart being the largest. The success of U.S. retailers can also be seen through their performance in online retail; the U.S. domestic market is lucrative and it is one in which many companies compete.

Our AI Social Shopping platform App is designed to allow smaller merchants to compete directly with these major retail chains without being dependent on “advertising” through competitors like Amazon, Facebook/Instagram, and Google, who ALL have their own shopping solutions.

We were contactless before it was cool!™ In 2018, we launched our 12 Sconti App in Europe which, among other things, allowed subscribed consumers to receive offers from participating nearby retailers, and make purchases right from their smart phone, then walk into the retailer and pick up their goods, just by showing their QR code. The lessons we learned from 12 Sconti are being applied to our new social shopping app, which is now in development.

The company, unlike many others, has weathered the Global storm caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, and is poised to take advantage of the return to normalcy that is currently occurring in most markets, and assist smaller merchants through their recovery with our AI Social Shopping platform App to attract customers back to their businesses.

Our Acquisition Strategy:

The Company targets for acquisition those synergistic companies that provide immediate revenue and the potential for growth in revenue and earnings, and/or may provide entries to license or sell our software and technology to other businesses and consumer brands, and/or will provide support services to our existing operations. Therefore, we target acquisitions that can benefit from our technology platform and expertise to grow their operations, brands that can give us entry into other businesses, and other companies that can provide support for our brands and technologies.

We now target for acquisition those companies with at least $3 million in annual sales, and that have existing management teams which complement our own. We will also acquire smaller companies that, when added to our own, allow us to leverage our existing operations without significantly increasing our costs. Other candidates would be companies with existing software complimentary to our technology subsidiary, or companies where we can demonstrate the effectiveness of our technology. We are, of course, always looking to acquire larger companies or brands. In fact, we are still in talks with larger entities, but these are our minimum requirements.

Our Technology Rollout Strategy:

Our subsidiary 12 Tech has, through subsidiaries 12 Japan and 12 Hong Kong, already deployed and tested our existing USXS software applications at ITOYA LTD in Japan. Using the knowledge that we gained from that real-world experience, and adapting it to the post COVID-19 reality, we have begun to demonstrate some of our solutions in the United States of America.

During 2022, as the U.S. beings to re-open, we plan to deploy our technology in our own retail stores. By demonstrating the lift that our technology provides, we will then use our relationships that have been developed from our fashion brands to approach other businesses with these results, in order to license the software to them. However, until we launch our new social shopping app with features to allow users to interact with our screens, our existing technology will not be very effective as we believe that post-Covid, most consumers will be reluctant to touch a public touch-screen.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we plan to announce and launch our new consumer-based AI Social Shopping platform App, to which any consumer-based business can subscribe, in order to reach and interact with consumers easily in fun and innovative ways, and especially contactless.

Our intellectual property:

The Company’s intellectual property consists of the logos, trademarks, Universal Resource Locator(s) (URLs), software applications, signage, proprietary processes and procedures, exclusive software licenses from others, functional specifications, software, hundreds of fashion patterns owned by the parent as well as its subsidiaries.

In addition, the Company’s Bluwire Group subsidiary licenses its name, trademark, and proprietary store processes to two external licensees who each operate two stores in airport terminals (Minneapolis-St. Paul and John F. Kennedy airports).

The Company intends to continue its development of its technologies and will continue to apply for patents for future product developments including our social shopping app now in development. The Company’s strategy is to protect the technologies with patents in Europe, the United States, and Japan. Following product development, each product, based on the technologies, will be further protected individually by new patent filings worldwide.

- On January 29, 2018, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation giving its Board of Directors the power to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, and to fix the rights, preferences, and privileges of each class of preferred stock so created. No shareholder approval is required in connection with the creation of classes of preferred stock under this authority and the setting of the rights, preferences, and privileges of such shares.

- On January 29, 2018, the Company designated three additional classes of Preferred Shares having the rights, preferences and privileges of each class of preferred stock as indicated; (i) The Series B Preferred Stock, which will consist of 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share with each shares having a value of $1.00 when issued and convertible into common stock at a discount to be agreed between the Company and the indicated shareholder, (ii) Series C Preferred Stock, which will consist of two shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share and each share shall each cast 1 billion votes for any matters requiring a vote of shareholders, and shall not be convertible into common stock, and (iii) Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 and shall be deemed Blank Check Preferred allowing the Board of Directors at some future date to determine the rights, privileges and preferences as they may deem appropriate.

This company, now located in Salt Lake City, Utah, operates its own production and fulfillment facility that management believes can be utilized by all of the Company’s future microbrand acquisitions as a competitive advantage to quickly produce, market, sell and deliver many smaller quantities of garments, keeping online sales channels fresh.

- On March 14, 2018, upon the written consent of the majority of shareholder votes eligible to vote as of March 14, 2018, the Company increased its common authorized shares from Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares to One Billion (1,000,000,000) shares of common stock.

The total number of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock issued was 311,250 shares, with a par value of $0.00001 per share and a stated value of $2.00 per share (the “Stated Value”). The Series D Preferred Stock as a whole, of which Series D-1 is a subset, has such powers, preferences, rights and restrictions which shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and which designations and issuances shall not require the approval of the shareholders of the Company

- On July 2, 2018, the Company reserved 100,000,000 shares of our common stock for Oasis Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

The Board believes that this was necessary so that the Company maintains a consistent vision going forward that can only be achieved if the Founder’s vision is maintained. This vision is the same vision that all current shareholders bought into as evidenced by their investment into the Company. To ensure that the founder’s vision is maintained, it is necessary that no outsider person or group can gain voting control from the founder as the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should not be made by anyone who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. You should consider carefully the risks set forth in this section, together with the other information contained in this report, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. Our business, operating results, and financial condition could be seriously harmed, and you could lose your entire investment if any of the following risks were to occur. This document is not intended to be an offer of any securities nor a solicitation of any offer to buy or sell.

Risks Related to Our Business

Until the acquisition of our brands, we are a Company with limited operating history, little revenue and still have to rely on our ability to raise capital to fund operations and there can be no assurance we will ever reach profitability or be able to continue to raise capital to fund operations.

The Company commenced limited operations in June of 2017, with the acquisition of 12 Hong Kong, Ltd. The Company then acquired 12 Japan, Ltd in August 2017, followed by 12 Europe A.G. in October 2017. 12 Japan, Ltd brought a small portion of revenue, insufficient to fund operations, while 12 Europe A.G. brought no revenue and was subsequently closed on August 20, 2019. Throughout 2019, we made four acquisitions including Red Wire Group, Rune, Bluwire, and Social Sunday, which together brought significant revenue but not enough profit to offset the costs of being public and developing and launching our core technology initiative. Therefore, we have limited operating history on which to make an investment decision. Accordingly, the Company has a limited operating history and the business strategy, while promising, may not be successful. Failure to implement the business strategy could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Through December 31, 2021, the Company’s business has not shown a profit in operations and has generated little revenues. There can be no assurance we will achieve or attain profitability or be able to raise sufficient capital to stay in business. If we cannot achieve operating profitability or raise capital, we may not be able to meet our working capital requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business operating results and financial condition resulting in the loss of an investors’ entire investment in us.

We need substantial additional capital to grow and fund our present and planned business and business strategy. Until we have made significant brand acquisitions, the Company’s working capital may not be sufficient for our needs.

Our current and planned operations contemplate funding in the future. Failure to meet funding milestones may have a significant adverse effect on our growth and anticipated revenues and we may have to curtail our business strategy. If we receive less funding than planned, we will have to revise our business model and reduce proposed plans. Without significant funding, we will not be able to execute on our business operations and may be forced to cease operations. At this time, there can be no assurance we will be able to obtain the funding we need and even if we obtain such funding that it will be on terms and conditions favorable to us and our existing shareholders. Without funding we will not be able to proceed with planned operations or meet existing obligations.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report states that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our possible inability to stay in business could result in a total loss on investment by our shareholders.

Our accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a “going concern.” As discussed in Note 2 to the Company’s December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements, we had little revenues, have minimal business operations, have recurring losses and have negative working capital and a stockholders’ deficit. These issues raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.” Our ability to stay in business will, in part, depend on our ability to raise additional funding or continue to make brand acquisitions. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We may experience service failures or interruptions due to defects in the software, infrastructure or processes that comprise our Apps and other software, any of which could adversely affect our business.

Our software may contain undetected defects in the software, infrastructure, or processes. If these defects lead to failures in our Apps, we could experience delays or lost revenues during the period required to correct the cause of the defects. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that defects will not be found in new software or upgraded existing software or that service disruptions will not occur in the future, resulting in loss of, or delay in, market acceptance, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we do not successfully maintain the 12 ReTech brand in our existing markets or successfully market the 12 ReTech brand in new markets, our revenues and earnings could be materially and adversely affected.

We believe that developing, maintaining, and enhancing the 12 ReTech brand in a cost-effective manner is critical in expanding our customer base. Promotion of our brand will depend largely on continuing our sales and marketing efforts and providing high-quality products and App software to our customers. We cannot be assured that these efforts will be successful in marketing the 12 ReTech brand. If we are unable to successfully promote our brand, or if we incur substantial expenses in attempting to do so, our revenues and earnings could be materially and adversely affected.

Our internal systems and operations are untested and may not be adequate and could adversely affect our ability to continue our planned business.

Our internal systems and operations are new and unproven at scale. On the technology portion of our business, we have not demonstrated the ability to make the large-scale deployments necessary if a large retailer would indicate they wanted to fully implement our solutions. We may need to find an installation partner with the necessary experience to perform these large-scale installations. Our inability to scale or find that experienced partner or vendor could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition and could force us to halt our planned operations or continued expansion of those planned operations, causing us to lose any opportunity to gain significant anticipated market share in our industry. Our ability to compete effectively and to manage future growth will require us to continue to improve our operational systems, our organization, and our financial and management controls, reporting systems, and deployment procedures. We may fail to make these improvements effectively. Additionally, our efforts to make these improvements may divert the focus of our personnel and we may not be able to effectively continue our planned operations, which may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our inability to attract and maintain key personnel required to implement our business strategy could adversely affect our ability to continue our current and planned business resulting in slower growth.

While we have so far been able to attract high caliber people, we are competing with many other entities for these services some of whom are better funded then we are. We are trying to grow our effort to provide services and we are still hiring key positions and integrating personnel at all levels into a cohesive team. If executives or other new hires integrate poorly, perform badly, or do not have the anticipated experience or skill sets required, our current and planned business endeavors could be harmed. Planned personnel, management practices and controls may also prove to be inadequate to provide services, acquire customers and partners and operate the business, and any gaps or failures may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Increased competition may have an adverse effect on our ability to continue our current and planned business operations and result in our going out of business and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may see increased competition in our markets. On the technology side of our business, many players are entering the marketplace including Hitachi, IBM, and others. While we believe that our solutions are better due to our experience as retailers, our competitors are entrenched and very well-funded. The competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements and devote greater resources to develop, promote and sell their products or services. In addition, increased competition could result in reduced fees, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our business. We cannot guarantee that we can compete successfully against current or future competitors, many of which have substantially more capital, existing brand recognition, resources, and access to additional financing. All these competitive pressures may result in increased marketing costs, or loss of market share or otherwise may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may be unable to patent future improvements and/or update our technology.

We use technology advancements of our own and from suppliers to provide more advanced services with more efficient economics for our customers. Technology advancement is very fast paced in today’s digital world and can lead to changing standards and new modes of providing services. The advancement of other technology not available to us or within our financial ability to adopt that may make our products or future products unsaleable. Keeping pace with the introduction of new standards, customer requirements, or the advancement of other technology may make our products uncompetitive or obsolete. The failure to keep pace with these changes and to continue to enhance and improve our products and features could harm our ability to attract and retain customers for our technology.

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting

The Company has a limited number of personnel which may lead to the risk of limited controls and procedures. For the aforementioned reason, there is a limit on the quantity of internal controls during our financial reporting process.

The Company’s CFO is currently the CEO of another Company

The Company CFO is also the CEO of another business and therefore may have limited time to work on the business and may experience time conflicts.

Our Board of Directors lacks independent directors as members.

Our CEO and CFO are also on our Board of Directors and as a result the Board of Directors may lack some independence.

The stock ownership of our chief executive officer and the ability to control the Company

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is also one of the most significant shareholders of the Company and as a result exercises significant control over the Company.

There are a large number of shares of common stock underlying the outstanding preferred stock and convertible notes

The Company has outstanding preferred stock and convertible notes which are potentially convertible into common stock. Should all these convertible instruments convert into common stock, the number of common shares issued would lead to substantial dilution of the current common shareholders.

Although we have attempted to discuss meaningful factors, our investors need to be aware that other factors and risks may become important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time. We cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our operations and financial performance. Investors should carefully consider the discussion of risks and the other information included in this Report, including the Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Information provided above in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The effects of the worldwide pandemic on our business have not been fully determined at this time. Since March 16, 2020, the world was affected by a pandemic virus called COVID-19, and all our businesses were affected by closures and/or reductions in volume. Businesses around the world were closed, as well as airports and casinos, and consumers were told to shelter at home. The long-term effect of this on the psyche of consumers and the worldwide economy are unknown. Their short- and long-term effects on our business is undetermined at the time of this report.

Risks to our businesses related to COVID-19

The ongoing systemic challenges of the retail and restaurant industries due to changes in consumer habits, online and with mobile Apps, have been further exacerbated and accelerated due to 2020 and continued into 2021 COVID-19 pandemic. The business closures mandated by government agencies around the world, coupled by governmental stay at home orders and consumer fears of infection, may forever significantly change consumer behavior in unforeseen ways. While these challenges provide significant opportunity to market and sell our new technologies as well as our fashion products, at this stage it may be difficult to predict the trend of overall consumer behavior.

Due to COVID-19, the solvency of our potential customers for our technology and products may be in doubt and their ability to make payments to us may be at risk. For example, see recent post COVID-19 bankruptcies such as J. C. Penney Company, Inc, J.Crew, Pier 1 Imports, Modell’s Sporting Goods, Food First Global Restaurants, Neiman Marcus, and Garden Fresh Restaurants, to name a few.

Also due to COVID-19, there has been an extreme reduction in travel, thereby significantly affecting the number of customers in our Company owned stores, thereby further potentially reducing revenue for those stores. This reduction in traffic through retail stores and restaurants in airports and casinos may also further reduce our ability to gain additional subscribers for our technologies.

Another impact of COVID-19 on our operations, are that our vendors are operating at reduced capacity or have closed, which could impact our flow of inventory or raw materials for an indeterminate amount of time until such time as those vendors can be replaced or resume operations at full capacity.

We may face challenges rehiring some or all of the workforce that was laid off due to COVID-19 and may have to recruit and hire replacement employees in the future for our businesses. As a result, management expects to face additional costs to get back our operations at full capacity.

For more information about our response to COVID-19, see our specific COVID-19 disclosures.

Our operating results may be substantially different than that which management projects. The creditworthiness of our customers, changes in the availability of capital due to a downturn in the economy, undue regulation and legal uncertainties, all of which would increase our cash requirements which may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Therefore, financial results could materially differ from that projected by management. Projections are less and less reliable the further out those projections are made based on all of the above reasons.

An increase in laws and regulations could contribute to a decline in the growth of the industry and could decrease demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business. Moreover, the applicability of existing laws is uncertain with regards to many issues. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be seriously impaired by any new legislation or regulation. The application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, or the application of existing laws and regulations and to other services which may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Planned acquisitions come with various risks, along with dilution to our shareholders, which could negatively affect our stock prices and may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures entered into by us may have an adverse effect on our business. We expect to engage in acquisitions, mergers, or joint ventures as part of our long-term business strategy. These transactions involve significant challenges and risks including that the transaction does not advance our business strategy, that we do not realize a satisfactory return on our investment, or that we experience difficulty in the integration of new assets, employees, business systems, and technology, or diversion of management’s attention from our other businesses. These events may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks related to the competition of our current and future brands acquired or to be acquired by our subsidiaries, 12 Retail Corporation and 12 Fashion Group, Inc.

Our current and planned brand acquisitions are in the highly competitive fashion industry. Many of those acquisitions will compete directly with better funded and better-known brands. While Management believes that it can compete directly with these larger brands, gambling on the public’s changing attitudes towards “looking the same as everyone else” and wanting individuality and on the Company’s proprietary technology to provide positive results there are no guarantees that the Company will be able to compete effectively.

The current and future state of the economy may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business may be adversely affected by changes in domestic economic conditions, including inflation or deflation, changes in consumer preferences, changes in consumer spending rates, personal bankruptcy and the ability to collect our customer accounts. Changes in economic conditions may adversely affect the demand for our products and make it more difficult to collect customer accounts, thereby negatively affecting our business, operating results and financial condition. The recent disruptions in credit and other financial markets and deterioration of national and global economic conditions could, among other things, impair the financial condition of some of our customers and suppliers, thereby increasing customer bad debts or non-performance by suppliers. If we experience bad debts or slow paying customers in significant quantities, our cash flow will be limited and our ability to pay our own obligations will be questionable. As a small business these issues will affect us more than our larger competitors putting financial strain on our business and threatening our survival, particularly since we have limited capital to rely on to overcome cash flow issues of slow paying customers. If our customers are unable to pay or pay slowly it may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to the Retail Industry

The retail industry has been reeling ever since 2008 related to less shoppers and more purchases being done online. This has led to such venerable names as Sears Roebuck and Co, and J.C. Penney, and many others filing bankruptcy, and some disappearing forever, such as BCBG-MAXAZRIA, which no longer has any brick-and-mortar retail locations. With COVID-19, we believe this trend will accelerate. Our Management believes that only those retailers that are able to find new ways to attract consumers to the stores and learn how to sell through new channels, such as mobile apps and online, will survive.

Our business is dependent on the ability of our fashion brands to sell to brick-and-mortar retailers, as well as to sell products to online retailers and to successfully market our products on mobile apps and online. The seismic transition occurring in the retail industry may impair our ability to be successful in these efforts.

Our technology division intends to sell and license our technology solutions to brick and mortar retailers and restaurants whose financial health and ability to raise capital will determine if they will even be able to afford our solutions. We face collection risks and client retention risks in selling to retailers and restaurants who may not remain in business.

Extending credit in this environment where our technology or fashion group operate will be difficult, and we may suffer losses because of it. These risks may impede our ability to prosper.

Risks related to old debts and current and potential litigation.

Due to the number of operations acquired and the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Company has fallen behind on many of the obligations of certain subsidiaries. Some of these have resulted in litigation (see litigation section).

Risks of Acquiring Operations.

We face risks of successfully integrating acquired businesses into our operations.

An acquired business may require additional capital infusions to survive. Capital raising is difficult in any environment especially in a post COVID-19 world. Failing to successfully raise a sufficient amount of capital is a risk to the continuation of the acquired businesses operations.

We will need to integrate the acquired businesses back-office accounting into our own systems in order to successfully continue to execute our SEC mandated reporting duties. Failing to do so is a risk to our ongoing SEC fully reporting status.

We will need to integrate the acquired businesses personnel into our own teams whether they be operational or back office. Failing to do so is a risk to the ongoing operations of an acquired operation. Sellers or existing management that may be retained after the acquisitions may not perform well in the new environment. This may impede our ability to rapidly grow or even maintain management of the acquisitions. In consolidating our acquisitions, we may find difficulties merging different teams that have different cultures, and therefore we may not fully realize the benefits anticipates.

We may experience unforeseen challenges in realizing the cost-saving synergies and business expansion benefits of any or all acquisitions.

Future stock issuances could severely dilute our current shareholders’ interests.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 20,000,000,000 authorized shares of our common stock or stock warrants and options to acquire such common stock. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred shares that have various rights of conversion to common stock. Refer to Description of Registrant’s Securities below for full details of Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D Preferred Shares. The future issuance of common stock may result in dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our existing stockholders. Also, any stock we sell in the future may be valued on an arbitrary basis by us and the issuance of shares of common stock for future services, acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future.

We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment in the future of any cash or stock dividends on the common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon a variety of factors, including our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness, if any, and to pay dividends on securities ranking senior to the common stock, our future earnings, if any, capital requirements, financial condition and such other factors as our Board of Directors may consider to be relevant from time to time. Our earnings, if any, are expected to be retained for use in expanding our business.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our common stock is classified as a “penny stock” under SEC Rules and Regulations, which means there is a very limited trading market for our shares.

Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a511 of the SEC. Penny stocks are stocks (i) with a price of less than five dollars per share; (ii) that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above); or (iv) in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years); or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years); or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.

Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g2 of the SEC require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be “penny stock.”

Moreover, Rule 15g9 of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his, her or its financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor, and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of such shares.

Due to the substantial instability in our common stock price, you may not be able to sell your shares at a profit or at all, and as a result, any investment in our shares could be totally lost.

The public market for our common stock is very limited. As with the market for many other small companies, any market price for our shares is likely to continue to be very volatile. Our common stock has very limited volume and as a “penny stock,” many brokers will not trade in our stock limiting our stock’s liquidity. As such it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock.

Our common stock has a limited trading history, and it will be difficult to determine any market trends or prices for our shares and additional shares that become available under Rule 144 could cause the price of our stock to decrease.

Our common stock currently is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets under the symbol “RETC”. However, with very little trading history, a trading market that does not represent an “established trading market”, volatility in the bid and asked prices and the fact that our common stock is very thinly traded, you could lose all or a substantial portion of your funds if you make an investment in us. Additionally, as more shares become available for resale, it is likely there will be negative pressures on our stock price. The sale or potential sale of shares of our common stock that may become publicly tradable under Rule 144 in the future may have a severe adverse impact on any market that develops for our common stock, and you may lose your entire investment or be unable to resell any shares in us that you purchase.

There are a large number of shares of common stock underlying our outstanding preferred stock and convertible notes.

The Company has outstanding Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes with possibility of conversion into a number of common shares. Although we have attempted to discuss meaningful factors, our investors need to be aware that other factors and risks may become important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time. We cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our operations and financial performance. Investors should carefully consider the discussion of risks and the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Information provided above in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the common stock will ever be paid.

ITEM 6. RESERVED.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. References in the following discussion and throughout this annual report to “we”, “our”, “us”, “12 ReTech Corporation”, “12 ReTech”, “RETC”, “the Company”, and similar terms refer to, 12 ReTech Corporation. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. 12 ReTech Corporation actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this filing.

Company

12 ReTech Corporation is primarily a technology company focused on the retail experience, both online and in physical stores, for consumers and smaller merchants.

Our software, both deployed and in development, is designed to allow the smaller merchants to compete effectively with the retail behemoths like Walmart and Amazon, and to attract, retain, and delight consumers both online and in physical stores, without being dependent on Google, Facebook/Instagram, and Amazon.

Our AI Social Shopping platform App, which is currently in development, will allow merchants to connect with consumers directly, and will give merchants tools to protect their brand and lower their marketing costs, which will be focused on results not just “looky-loos”.

For consumers, the App allows them to support their favorite local businesses and find new merchants that may be of interest to them, while earning money through their social communications and posts.

The Company has also acquired retail and wholesale operating companies that will allow us to test our tech on real consumers and demonstrate their success for other merchants while earning revenues for the Company.

As an innovative retail technology company that has been built through acquisitions and ideas, we intend to continue to search for additional synergistic acquisitions that bring incremental revenues and profitability, and access to products that will incentivize both merchants and consumers to quickly adopt our social shopping App.

Principal subsidiaries as December 31, 2021.

The details of the principal subsidiaries of the Company as of December 31, 2021, are set out as follows (additional consolidation may occur in the future):

12 Retail Corporation, a subsidiary of 12 ReTech Corporation, operates its own retail store and manages two main subsidiaries each of which have multiple subsidiaries: 12 Fashion Group, Inc and Bluwire Group, LLC.

12 Fashion Group Inc, A subsidiary of 12 Retail Corporation, has the following subsidiaries;

On February 19, 2019 we acquired Red Wire Group, LLC. (“RWG”) a Utah Limited Liability company pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement whereby the Company exchanged and the members of RWG (the “Members”) Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company will acquire (i) 75% of the membership interests of RWG in exchange for 54,000 shares of the Corporation’s Series D-6 Preferred Stock and with a stated value of $5.00 (ii) the remaining 25% of the membership interests of RWG in exchange for 37,500 shares of the Corporation’s Series D-5 Preferred Stock with a stated value of $4.00 per share, RWG operates its own “cut & sew” operation for independent third parties contract to produce cloths operating out of its factory in Salt Lake City, Utah.

As of the end of November 30, 2019, we closed the factory in Utah, while 12 Fashion Group retained the customers by completing the orders in process. We were able to produce the products through 3rd party factories in New York City and Los Angeles for less than it cost us to produce the products in our own factory in Salt Lake City, Utah. On March 6, 2020, the company filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing in Phoenix Arizona. This filing allowed us to sell the equipment we no longer needed, pay off the secured creditors, and shed all of Red Wire’s debt from our balance sheet. The bankruptcy was discharged on or about September 2020, and all debts were extinguished. During 2021, there has been no change in the bankruptcy proceedings. 12 Fashion Group continues to service those customers acquired as well as obtaining new accounts by marketing under the d/b/a Red Wire Designs.

Business and Operations

12 ReTech Corporation is a Technology company that is creating software that management believes will create new platforms and tools for smaller retailers to compete with major companies like Amazon and Walmart and delight consumers. To better understand the entire retail environment, the Company has acquired operating companies that sell direct to consumers online and in physical stores as well as to other retailers. Management believes, in addition to providing current revenue to the Company, these acquisitions will provide entry to other retailers for the sale and or licensing of our technology solutions.

From an operating perspective, 12 ReTech Corporation is a holding company with three main operating companies that themselves may now and/or in the future own other subsidiaries. They are: 12 Retail Corporation which now operates our casino stores and subsidiaries Bluwire Group, LLC; 12 Fashion Group, Inc, that operates our fashion brands and wholesale manufacturing brands; and 12 Tech Inc that designs and develops our retail software.

The Company has earned money from four different revenue streams (in declining order): Retail Sales, Wholesale and Online sales of Fashion products, Royalty Payments for 3rd party licensing of the Bluwire name, and technology sales.

Effects on us of the Covid-19 Pandemic

The time span starting in 2020 and continuing into 2021 was a unusual period in that at nearly at the same time, the entire world was in the grip of the Covid-19 pandemic, with unprecedented closings of businesses, a virtual cessation of most business and personal travel, and lockdown and stay at home orders. As a Company centered around retail, and which derives the most significant portion of its revenue from retail stores in airports and casinos, we were hit particularly hard. In retail, the 1st quarter of every year is the slowest revenue quarter of any year, and even before that first quarter ended, all of our retail stores were closed due to the pandemic. Only the casino store was able to be re-opened in mid-December 2020 to lackluster sales. Supply chains were interrupted, and it became difficult to re-stock our retail store for the holiday season which also delayed its re-opening to mid-December, after an aborted restart in September. The supply chain problems also delayed the receipt of fabric and other products needed by our Fashion Group as they began to re-emerge from under the pandemic closures. Our fashion group, being based-in NYC, was closed for many months and only reopened in July to produce masks. All of the stores our fashion group sold to were also closed. Our technology division, 12 Tech Inc, was also hard hit. Not only were retailers closed and conserving cash like we were, but it became apparent that consumers would no longer interact with public touchscreens, which was the cornerstone of our technology. In other words, our technology was made obsolete in the blink of an eye.

The Company managed survival during the pandemic by squirreling cash and obtaining PPP and or EIDL loans from the SBA. We attempted to retain all of our key employees utilizing these funds, but by June 2021 most have found other jobs once the PPP money ran out. This presents challenges for our airport stores’ re-openings, as it is a long process to get employees certified (“badged”) to work in airports. This will further slow our re-openings during 2022. We also renegotiated various leases and commitments to make us more streamlined and efficient as we re-open and expand. In Japan, we renegotiated out licensing arrangement with ITOYA whereby they managed more of the day-to-day software for a smaller fee, and we eliminated virtually all of our costs there. We also learned that the App we had developed there was strongly used by Japanese consumers of ITOYA. and we could re-develop it for the U.S. market. This process is well on the way, and management believes will create the next great shopping platform.

Financing and Convertible Debt

During the period June 2017 until July 2021, the Company financed most of its operations, acquisitions, and technology through convertible debt. The issue with convertible debt is the dilution that our shareholders experienced as these debt holders converted their debt to common stock and then sold that common stock into the market.

During 2020 and 2021, the Company raised $956,600 in new convertible debt and the existing debt holders converted their older debt in the amount of $ 943,896 into 9,122,400,274 shares of common stock. At December 31, 2021 the Company owed $1,353,447 in convertible debt, held a default reserve of $1,364,204 and maintained a derivative liability reserve of $6,758,937.

During 2020, the Company received $294,882 in PPP funds from the SBA under the CARES Act (“ACT”) During June 2021, the Company was able to have the SBA forgive $70,200 in accordance with the ACT requirements. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company was able to have the SBA forgive the remaining $224,682, thereby all of the first round PPP funds have been forgiven.

During 2021, the company also received $302,602 in PPP funds. The company also asked for these funds to be forgiven in accordance with CARES ACT, and during the fourth quarter, $302,602 of these loans were forgiven by the SBA.

Also, during 2020 the Company received $325,300 in EIDL Funds from the SBA. These funds carry a 3.75% annual interest, and the Company will begin making aggregate monthly payments of $1,588 over the next 360 months.

YEAR ENDED December 31, 2021 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED December 31, 2020

Amounts reflected in our financial statements are accounted for under common control accounting (see footnotes).

Revenues

During the year ended December 31, 2021 our revenues decreased to $ 660,206 from $721,312 in the prior comparable year. This represents a decrease of $61,106 or 8%, which is primarily the result of the continued global pandemic due to COVID 19 on our Bluwire subsidiary and 12 Fashion Group subsidiary during 2021. The government forced the closure of all our store locations on March 16, 2020, and in 2021, we have not yet been able to re-open the remaining Bluwire subsidiary locations following this closure. When allowed, the company was able to re-open only one of our store locations in December 2020. We hope to open additional store locations in the near future.

Cost of revenues

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 we incurred Cost of Revenues associated with the delivery of our products in the amount of $394,394, as compared to $385,236 for the comparable period in 2020. These expenses are related to costs of delivering goods. In 2021, our Cost of Revenues as a percentage of Revenues was 60% as compared to 53% in the prior comparable period. The slightly higher cost of revenues as a percentage of Revenues in 2021 is mainly the result of increased costs associated with purchases of inventory and production materials due to COVID 19.

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $1,447,357, a significant decrease of $315,499 or 18% when compared to $1,762,856 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is a result of impact due to COVID 19 and forced closure of operations during many months.

Professional fees

Our professional fee expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $744,112 an increase of $60,861 or 9% when, compared to $683,251 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our professional fees include expenses related to our external auditors, legal costs, and consultants. In order to preserve our subsidiaries operations, the company conserved on spending from the period of closure on March 16, 2020 until December 31, 2021.

Depreciation and amortization

Our depreciation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $42,600, a decrease of $396,669 or 90% when compared to $439,269 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our depreciation and amortization expense includes intangibles and leasehold improvements added October 1, 2019 as part of the Bluwire acquisition. However, these assets were fully depreciated by March 2021.

Other Expense

Our Other Expenses decreased by $16,099,158 or 83% to $3,292,641 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $19,391,799 for the year ended December 31, 2020. There are four main components of the increase of the 2021 Other Expense category:

See these components described in further detail below.

Other Income

An increase in other income to $598,809 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $431,937 for twelve months ended December 31, 2020. During 2020 the Company received $294,882 in PPP funds from the SBA under the CARES Act (“ACT”). By September 30, 2021, the Company was able to have the SBA forgive $294,882 of first round PPP loans from 2021. During 2021, the company also received $302,602 in PPP funds. During the third and fourth quarter of 2021, the $302,602 of the second round PPP loans which were also forgiven by the SBA. This represents the majority of the other income recognized by the company in 2021.

Interest Expense

There was an increase in interest expense of $2,056,847 to $2,528,426 as of December 31, 2021 compared to $471,579 for the period ended December 31, 2020. The increase in interest expenses is primarily related to increase in convertible notes’ convertible preferred stock during the same period, as well as a significant increase in interest expense associated with the additional derivative liability and for the general default reserve.

Change in Derivative Liability

There was a gain as a result of the change of derivative liability of $1,792,072 as of December 31, 2021 compared to gain of $18,860,260 for the period ended December 31, 2020. The reason for the change was because of a change in the calculation method from Lattice model to Black-Scholes model.

General Reserve Expense

The company recognized a general default reserve gain of for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $429,048 compared to a general default expense of $491,897 as of December 31, 2020. On July 25, 2019 the Company was served with a lawsuit from Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”). Since 2019 and thereafter, management calculated a default reserve which represents the additional amount management would have to pay out to all note holders in the event of the default. Management quantified what this amount would be which includes additional premiums, additional accrued interest and default accrued interest in 2019 and 2020 and updated these calculations in 2021. The total reserve quantified by management amounted to $1,364,204 and $2,278,648 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Net Income

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $5,260,898 compared to a net loss of $21,941,099 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decreased loss is primarily the result of the increase in the change in derivative liability.

The Company is expending working capital to further their business plan. This includes the further development, refinement and improvement of their software and its adaptation to various languages and geography. The Company is also expending working capital on the development of new technology which is designed to further enhance the attractiveness of their offerings to their target customer base.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has met its current capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt-equity and preferred stock. Management views the working capital that is raised through debt-equity or preferred equity offerings as being equivalent to raising working capital via common equity subscriptions, but with the added bonus of allowing the common equity value to rise through the passage of time and simultaneous achievement of the Company’s business goals. Any conversion of debt into equity could occur at a higher equity valuation than the Company currently has. The Company has reserved the right to repurchase these debt-equity interests and preferred stock at a predetermined premium should management determine that this is in the best interests of shareholders at an appropriate future point in time.

Operating expenses for the Company have been paid from revenue as well as from the issuance of debt-equity and preferred stock subscriptions. At December 31, 2021 the Company had a deficit in working capital (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $14,794,099. A portion of this working capital deficit has been financed loans from stockholders. As of December 31, 2021, amounts owed to stockholders totalled $386,773. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a deficit in working capital (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $31,490,395. A portion of this working capital deficit has been financed loans from stockholders. As of December 31, 2020, amounts owed to stockholders totalled $383,753. The decrease in working capital deficit when compared to December 31, 2020 was principally due to a decrease derivative liabilities and offset to a lesser extent, increase in accounts payable.

The Company has financed our cash flow requirements through the issuance of debt-equity and preferred stock. As the Company expands, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending generation of significant revenues. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through debt-equity and preferred stock offerings to the extent available or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital balances.

Management believes that our acquisition strategy will successfully provide significant revenues, potential profits as well as access to traditional bank and asset-based credit lines. In addition, Management believes that existing shareholders, lenders and prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due.

In Addition, on October 15, 2019, the Company’s Bluwire subsidiary entered into a future receivable purchase agreement with Libertas Funding and received $343,000. This agreement provides for payment over 8 months and caries a fee of $7,000. This obligation is not convertible under any terms into Company stock. Lastly, on November 5, 2019, the Company’s Rune subsidiary entered into a future receivables purchase agreement with Vox funding and received gross proceeds for $145,500 which were used in part to retire a previous and smaller obligation to Vox Funding. The Agreement provided for payment over 6 months and carries a fee of $4,500. This obligation is not convertible under any terms into Company Stock. After the March 16, 2020 Covid shut down, all payment ceased by verbal mutual agreement. In May 2021, the Company entered into a verbal agreement with Vox to repay $250 per week and all collection efforts are put on hold and forbearance on other receivable holders.

On March 18, 2020, the Company entered into a back-end promissory note agreement with Adar Alef, LLC (“Adar”) for loans totalling $33,600.

In the future, we will need to generate sufficient revenues from operations in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. However, there can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our high growth business plan.

As of December 31, 2021, the Cash and Cash Equivalents balance was $12,786 compared to December 31, 2020, the Cash and Cash Equivalents balance was $11,784.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the current liabilities decreased by $16,759,204 when compared to December 31, 2020. The primary reason for the decrease was the decrease in derivative liabilities of $17,039,303 to $6,758,937 offset by increase in accounts payable of $980,012 to $4,167,604 as of December 31, 2021 compared to $23,798,240 in derivative liabilities and $3,187,592 in accounts payable as of December 31, 2020. Due to Covid 19 pandemic, the company tried to preserve operations and obtained extended terms from most of its creditors.

As discussed earlier, it is likely that the Company will need to obtain additional working capital through debt-equity and preferred stock capital raises until the Company can generate sufficiently profitable revenues to sustain the cash burn rate that the Company’s business plan calls for.

Although, our business plan calls for high growth, we anticipate that we may continue to incur operating losses during the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at our stage, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Our roll up acquisition strategy seeks to mitigate some of those risks, but until more acquisitions can be completed, consolidated, and we reap the benefits of consolidation, we cannot accurately include their results in our projection of cash needs.

Risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth and the consummation and assimilation of multiple acquisitions. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To address these risks, we must, among other things, increase our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

Impact of COVID-19

Like most other business in the United States, our businesses have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic.In 2020, our main operating subsidiaries were severely impacted by the US Government’s business shutdowns and stay at home orders related to COVID-19. We derive most of our revenue from our 12 Retail Corporation, which is itself composed of two Operating units: 12 Fashion Group and Bluwire Group, LLC.

In response to the President’s “stay at home” orders, on March 16, 2020, we promptly laid off almost all of our 12 Fashion Group employees and contractors. 12 Fashion Group retained three employee/contractors and focused on producing and selling of washable reusable masks, both wholesale and direct to consumer online. With the continued impact of COVID 19, 12 Fashion Group has not hired any additional employees and is maintaining it revenue channels despite the significant impact on the environment.

Our Bluwire retail stores in Newark airport, Dallas airport, and JFK international airport were temporarily closed on or about March 17, 2020. Our Casino location was temporarily closed on or about March 17, 2020 when the Mohegan Sun Casino itself was closed. We laid off all of our Bluwire employee/contractors except two members of the headquarters staff who continued to source innovative products for our stores when they re-open, some of which will be uniquely desired by consumers due to changing buying habits due to COVID-19. During 2021, the Company has not yet been able to reopen these locations.

The financial effects of these closures are reflected in the Management Discussion and Analysis.

The Cares Act and the Payroll Protection Program SBA Loans (PPP Loans).

The Company has applied for PPP Loans for all of its U.S. operating Companies, and is in the process of analyzing if it would qualify for similar governmental assistance for its reduced operating unit in Japan (12 Japan Ltd). The Company has qualified and received for an aggregate of $294,882 in 2020 and $302,602 in 2021 in PPP loans for its operating companies. On June 4, 2021, $70,200 of the first round of PPP loans was forgiven by the SBA. During the third quarter of 2021, an additional $224,682 of the first and second round PPP loans were also forgiven by the SBA. During the fourth quarter, an additional $302,602 in the PPP loans were also forgiven by the SBA.

These funds were used to re-hire previously laid off personnel where appropriate and hire new personal that management believes better fits the post COVID-19 shut-down environment. The Company hired personnel that helps the operating units generate revenues in a more contactless environment and to create changes to our cutting-edge retail software to help our stores and well as other retailers attract consumers in this new environment.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. Since we have not yet generated significant revenue, we have negative cash flows from operations, and negative working capital we have included a reference to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our total accumulated deficit at December 31, 2021 was $49,709,916 compared to $$44,475,900 as of December 31, 2020.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized, and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may cease operations and not be able to execute on operating plans. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We use assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. We believe there have been no significant changes in accounting policies during the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 3 to the consolidated statements in this Annual Report for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its consolidated results of operation, financial position, or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 to the consolidated statements in this Annual Report for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.

INDEX TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

12 RETECH CORPORATION

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the board of directors of 12 ReTech Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 12 ReTech Corporation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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.

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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. 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 audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

Critical audit matters 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.

We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

12 ReTech Corporation is primarily a technology company focused on the retail experience, both online and in physical stores, for consumers and smaller merchants.

Our software, both deployed and in development, is designed to allow the smaller merchants to compete effectively with the retail behemoths like Walmart and Amazon, and to attract, retain, and delight consumers both online and in physical stores, without being dependent on Google, Facebook/Instagram, and Amazon.

Our AI Social Shopping platform App, which is currently in development, will allow merchants to connect with consumers directly, and will give merchants tools to protect their brand and lower their marketing costs which will be focused on results not just “looky-loos”.

For consumers, the App allows them to support their favorite local businesses and find new merchants that may be of interest to them, while earning money through their social communications and posts.
