KWIKCLICK, INC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. BUSINESS

 

KwikClick, Inc., (the “Company” or “Kwik”) was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware on November 16, 1993. Beginning in 2020, the Company commenced its Kwik business operations to allow sellers to make products or services available on the Kwik platform, at Kwik.com, offering a self-determined incentive budget on goods or services in exchange for exposure and substantially increased sales volume. Kwik is a social interaction, selling, and referral software platform.  

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month periods have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Kwik LLC. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.  The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock or if-converted method as applicable.  Due to the incurrence of net losses, the Company did not include outstanding instruments convertible into common stock that would be anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 3,000,000 outstanding unvested stock awards that were potentially dilutive.  As of March 31, 2022, the Company did not have any potential common shares.


5


 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs primarily consist of internal and external engineering staff wages, coding, and related on-going activities associated with upgrading and enhancing the Company’s internally developed software platform. Research and development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization, including those costs determined to be probable to not result in additional functionality, are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 the Company did not capitalize any research and development costs, and incurred $197,168 and $397,257, respectively, in research and development expense.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company determines the measurement of revenue and the timing of revenue recognition utilizing the following core principles:

 

·Step 1:  Identify the contract with the customer  

·Step 2:  Identify the performance obligations in the contract  

·Step 3:  Determine the transaction price  

·Step 4:  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract  

·Step 5:  Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation

  

Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive, reduced by estimates for return allowances, promotional discounts, and rebates. Revenue excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including product costs for goods not owned and indirect taxes. 

 

A description of the Company’s revenue generating activities is as follows:

 

Third-Party Seller Services (Brand Services Revenue):

 

The Company offers programs that provide sellers a software platform to sell their products.  For some contracts the Company provides payment processing and order fulfillment facilitation.  The Company is not the seller of record in these transactions.

 

The Company generally determines stand-alone revenue based on a percentage of the prices charged by the seller to deliver products sold.  The commissions and any related fulfillment, shipping, and transaction processing fees the Company earns from these arrangements are recognized when the services are rendered, which generally occurs upon delivery of the related products to a third-party carrier or to the product purchaser.  The Company does not incur material costs in obtaining third party seller contracts.

 

Software Licensing (Hosting Arrangement): 

 

The Company licenses the use of its internally developed software to third parties for a fixed fee over a specified term. Revenue under these arrangements is recognized ratably over the contract term.  The Company currently does not have any licensing agreements. 

 

Applicable sales commissions paid in connection with contracts exceeding one year are capitalized and amortized over the contract term.  During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not incur material sales commissions.

 

Return Allowances

 

The fees earned by the Company are subject to returns under similar terms as set by the third-party services using the Company’s software platform.  The Company does not assume responsibility for refund or replacement of product costs.  Return allowances are estimated using historical experience.  During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not incur material returns.


6


 

Reclassifications

 

The Company reclassified certain general and administrative and management and payroll costs totaling approximately $397,000 to research and development in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have any impact on the previously reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

 

Since the commencement of the Kwik platform, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $7,356,822 and working capital deficit of $1,204,216 as of March 31, 2023. If the Company does not begin to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional funds through financing, the Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company's existence. There are currently no plans or agreements in place to provide such funding. The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and generate revenue. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

The following provides a description of the common stock issuances during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

In January 2023, the Company received $300,000 which is recorded as stock issuable on the balance sheet.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, 600,000 shares of common stock issued for services totaling $60,000 vested.

 

Common Stock Compensation

 

At the discretion of the compensation committee, the Company has granted common stock awards for various employees. The awards issued to date are earned and recognized over the requisite service period. The fair value of the award is estimated on the grant date.  

 

A summary of the stock-based compensation associated with common stock awards is as follows:

During 2022, the Company granted 5,000,000 shares of common stock with an estimated grant date fair value of $500,000 for consulting services for a period of twenty-five months.  The shares vest monthly on a straight-line basis.  As of March 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation associated with the unvested portion of the award totaled $300,000 which the Company expects to recognize over the next fifteen months.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company recognized total stock-based compensation of $60,000 and $0, respectively.  

 


7


As of March 31, 2023, the Company has committed 3,130,884 shares of stock for the fulfillment of the unissued vested (130,884 shares) and unvested (3,000,000) awards.  

 

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Shareholder Loans Payable

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Mr. Cooper funded the remainder of the Subscription Receivable of $520,261 in connection with a funding commitment totaling $2,000,000.  Mr. Cooper also provided additional working capital advances of $129,739 to the Company during the quarter. The working capital advances bear interest at 10% per annum and are payable upon demand.  

 

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On October 7, 2022, NewAge, the licensee of the related party SL Agreement, filed an adversary proceeding against the Company as part of their Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing (Delaware Case #22-10819).  NewAge contends they are the rightful owner of the intellectual property used in our operations. 

 

The Company believes that the code base and functionality of its software platform differs materially from any intellectual property owned by NewAge.  The Company intends to vigorously defend and assert its intellectual property rights.  In the event the Company does not prevail it may be required to impair substantially all of its intangible assets with a carrying value of approximately $1.3 million at March 31, 2023 and may be forced to discontinue its on-going fee-based sales platform. The litigation is in its early stages, an estimate of reasonably possible loss cannot be made at this time.  As such, there has been no further adjustment to the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no material events that need to be disclosed, except as follows:

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, Mr. Cooper provided additional working capital advances totaling $450,000 to the Company.  The balance of working capital advances through May 15, 2023 totaled $579,739.  These advances bear interest of 10% per annum and are due on demand.  Mr. Cooper has informally agreed to defer repayment of these loans until the Company has achieved a more stable liquidity position, however, he is not legally obligated to continue to do so.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) section discusses our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition and certain factors that may affect our future results. You should read this MD&A in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current expectations and forecasts of future events. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this quarterly report, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the Company’s current plans, and the Company’s actual future activities and results of operations may be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this annual report may turn out to be inaccurate. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. The forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events occurring after the date hereof. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this quarterly report.

 

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 that appear in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 17, 2023. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Certain information included herein contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements, such as statements relating to our anticipated revenues and operating results, future performance and operations, plans for future expansion, capital spending, sources of liquidity and financing sources. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and uncertainties include the “Risk Factors” included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023, that can be read at www.sec.gov.

 

Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized, nor can there be any assurance that we have identified all possible issues which we might face. For all of these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law.

 

Overview

 

The Company was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware on November 16, 1993. Beginning in 2020, the Company commenced its Kwik business operations to allow sellers to make products or services available on the Kwik platform, at Kwik.com, offering a self-determined incentive budget on goods or services in exchange for exposure and substantially increased sales volume. Kwik is a social interaction, selling, and referral software platform.  Stores and manufacturers (“Brands”) wishing to promote their products or services on the Kwik software platform, which connects them to promoters, influencers, and customers.  When the Brand is paid for the consumer

purchases through the Kwik platform, the Brand pays an incentive budget to Kwik.  Kwik receives the entire incentive budget as revenue for generating the sales through its platform, and recognizes cost of sales upon calculation and payment of the commissions paid to the wave of affiliates.  

 

Comparison of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2022

 

Revenues

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, we recognized net revenues of $85,317 and $253,911, respectively.  Since the termination of the related party licensing agreement in September 2022, the Company has not entered into any further licensing arrangements which resulted in $150,000 of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022.  During the three months ended March 31, 2023 Brand services revenue decreased approximately 18% to approximately $85,000 as a result of fewer vendor and influencer promotions. Management anticipates that these revenues will begin to increase as we continue to develop our KWIK platform, add vendors, and add users.  The Company is currently in negotiations with several new brands and influencers who anticipate joining the platform within the next three to six months.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Our costs of revenue, totaling $30,159 and $47,118 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily consist of marketing incentives and services for products that are sold on our platform.  We expect the costs of revenue to fluctuate consistent with our sales volume and future product mix which is currently unpredictable based on the early stages of the KWIK platform.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred total other operating expenses of $912,529 and $1,129,645.  The decrease of approximately $217,000 is primarily the result of reductions of approximately $200,000 and $209,000, respectively, in our research and development spending and non-recurring reductions in management and payroll as our initial operations begin to stabilize.  We anticipate our other operating expenses will trend upward as we add additional employees and consultants to work on the execution of our business plan, which includes activities such as design and coding of our website and app, vendor acquisition, cybersecurity, and user acquisition. We anticipate that much of this work will be done by outside consultants and consulting firms. In the coming 12 months, we anticipate increasing our promotional and marketing activities which will increase our operating expenses in our efforts to increase our product sales and user volumes.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

At March 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $1,204,216. Approximately 10% of current liabilities as of March 31, 2023 are due to our majority shareholder, Mr. Fred Cooper. Mr. Cooper has provided an additional $129,739 in working capital advances through March 31, 2023 and an additional $450,000 through the date of this report. These advances are due on demand. Mr. Cooper has informally agreed to defer repayment of these loans until the Company has achieved a more stable liquidity position, however, he is not legally obligated to continue to do so. Additionally, we raised $300,000 through the anticipated issuance of shares of common stock included in current liabilities as of March 31, 2023.

 

Through the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s cash used in operations was approximately $633,000.  We expect our cash used in operations to not be sufficient to meet our on-going obligations until such time that we increase our brand offerings and overall user volumes.

  

We require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to develop and expand our business. Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means.

 


10


Our working capital deficit and current revenue levels make continued operation of our business not viable without accessing additional capital. However, as our current monthly capital needs or “burn rate” is approximately $275,000, we cannot survive as a going concern for more than a month or two unless we increase commission revenues and, most importantly, obtain additional equity financing.  

 

We have historically been funded primarily from private placements of stock and loans from Company affiliates and may continue to be so funded in for the foreseeable future. However, there is no assurance that we can obtain additional funds from any source. We have generated limited revenue though we have developed much of our technology in order to conduct business in the online, social media, consumer product marketing space. We have also been required to maintain our corporate existence and satisfy the requirements of being a public company since we have become a filer with the SEC. We will need to obtain capital to continue operations. There is no assurance that our Company will be able to secure such funding on acceptable (or any) terms.

 

Management has determined that additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. There is no assurance that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to obtain enough additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our shareholders will be reduced, shareholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

There has been no change in our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of March 31, 2023 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of March 31,2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to (i) insufficient segregation of duties in the finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel; and (ii) inadequate corporate governance policies. In the future, subject to working capital limitations, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
