NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six Months Ended June 30, 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 and six-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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had 2,423,983 outstanding unvested and vested unissued stock awards and 102,470 warrants exercisable into shares of

common stock that were potentially dilutive. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 400,000 fully vested stock options outstanding that were potentially dilutive and expired unexercised on October 17, 2022.

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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 the Company did not capitalize any research and development costs.

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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not incur material returns.

Reclassifications

The Company reclassified certain general and administrative and management and payroll costs totaling approximately $272,040 and $669,297 to research and development in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 $8,150,292 and working capital deficit of $2,049,072 as of June 30, 2023. 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 six months ended June 30, 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 1,200,000 shares of common stock issued for services totaling $120,000 vested.

On May 31, 2023, the Company issued 65,100 shares of common stock for previously vested but unissued awards as of December 31, 2022. The stock-based compensation related to these awards was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022.

On May 31, 2023, the Company issued 6,000 shares of fully vested common stock for services totaling $2,700.

In January 2023, the Company received $300,000 for common stock issuable.

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:

	Common Stock			Weighted Average Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2023		3,600,000		$	0.10
Granted		-			-
Forfeited or cancelled		-			–
Vested		(1,200,000	)		0.10
Outstanding at June 30, 2023		2,400,000			0.10

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 June 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation associated with the unvested portion of the award totaled $240,000 which the Company expects to recognize over the next fifteen months.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 the Company recognized total stock-based compensation of $120,000 and $0, respectively associated with the vesting of this award.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has committed 2,528,453 shares of stock for the fulfillment of the unissued vested (23,983 shares); and unvested (2,400,000); and fully vested warrant (102,470) awards.

Warrants

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023 the Company issued 102,470 fully vested warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share for a term of two years. Included in the issuance of the warrants were 41,801 warrants that one of the grantees elected to receive in lieu of common stock not yet issued in accordance with the terms of a prior agreement. The Company had previously recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the unissued common stock owed to the grantee of $104,502 during the year ended December 31, 2022.

The grant date fair value of the warrants not previously recognized totaled $26,694 and the associated expense for the fully vested awards were recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants on the grant date using a Black-Scholes options pricing model using the quoted market price on the grant date; exercise price of $0.01 per share; expected volatility of approximately 80%; the expected term of two years; and the risk free interest rate of 0.2%.

A summary of the common stock warrant activity is as follows:

	Warrants		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Outstanding at January 1, 2023		-	$	-		–
Warrants granted		102,470		0.01
Exercised		–		–
Forfeited, cancelled or expired		-		–
Outstanding at June 30, 2023		102,470	$	0.01		1.9
Exercisable at June 30, 2023		102,470	$	0.01		1.9

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shareholder Loans Payable

During the six months ended June 30, 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 $779,739 to the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The working capital advances bear interest at 10% per annum and are payable upon demand. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we accrued $12,824 and $13,108 respectively, which are included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On May 31, 2023, NAI Liquidation Trust, the successor in interest to the defunct NewAge, Inc. by and through its Liquidation Trustee, Steven Balasiano, filed an adversary proceeding against the Company in the Newage Chapter 11 bankruptcy case (Delaware Case #22-10819). The Company licensed some of its technology to NewAge pursuant to a license agreement that started in September 2021 and terminated in late 2022. A prior adversarial action was brought

by NewAge in the same bankruptcy case but was never served and was dismissed on June 1, 2023. Like the prior dismissed action, NAI Liquidation Trust contends that they are the rightful owner of KwikClick’s intellectual property. NAI Liquidation Trust brings several causes of action related to that contention.

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 $1.4 million at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, Mr. Cooper provided additional working capital advances totaling $215,000 to the Company. The balance of working capital advances through August 14, 2023 totaled $994,739. 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.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2022

Revenues

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized net revenues of $51,478 and $136,795, respectively. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, Brand Services revenue decreased approximately 2% and 22% respectively, as a result of fewer vendor and influencer promotions. During the comparable period of 2022, we had a licensing agreement that expired in the third quarter of 2022. Management anticipates that Brand Services revenues will begin to increase as we continue to develop our KWIK services, add vendors, and add users. The Company is currently in negotiations with several new brands, influencers, and influencer agencies who anticipate joining the platform within the next three to six months.

Cost of Sales

Our costs of revenue, totaling $40,523 and $32,912, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $70,682 and $80,030, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, primarily consists 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred total other operating expenses of $1,703,846 and $2,688,920, respectively. The majority of the approximate $965,000 decrease, totaling approximately $750,000, is the result of non-recurring management and payroll and other general and administrative costs incurred during 2022. The same non-recurring expenses incurred in 2022 primarily resulted in the approximate $750,000 reduction in other operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2022.

We anticipate our total 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 June 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $2,049,072. Approximately 37% of current liabilities as of June 30, 2023 are due to our majority shareholder, Mr. Fred Cooper. Mr. Cooper has provided $779,739 in working capital advances through June 30, 2023 and an additional $215,000 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.

Through the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash used in operations was approximately $1,183,424. We expect our cash provided by 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.

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 Brand Services 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 June 30, 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 June 30,2023, 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On May 31, 2023, NAI Liquidation Trust, the successor in interest to the defunct NewAge, Inc. by and through its Liquidation Trustee, Steven, Balasiano filed an adversary proceeding against the Company in the Newage Chapter 11 bankruptcy case (Delaware Case #22-10819). The Company licensed some of its technology to NewAge pursuant to a license agreement that started in September 2021 and terminated in late 2022. A prior adversarial action was brought by NewAge in the same bankruptcy case but was never served and was dismissed on June 1, 2023. Like the prior dismissed action, NAI Liquidation Trust contends that they are the rightful owner of KwikClick’s intellectual property. NAI Liquidation Trust brings several causes of action related to that contention.

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 $___ million at June 30, 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 June 30, 2023.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Risk Factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed on April 17, 2023, continue to represent the most significant risks to the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition.
